Naruto: I can decompose everything

Chapter 39 Shisui's Questioning, Fugaku Taking the Blame

Soon, the clan meeting began.

Fugaku Uchiha and the clan elders beside him began their speeches.

Rin Uchiha originally thought the other party would bring up some sensational news about whether or not to rebel.

But what I heard in the end was something like the recent complaints against the Konoha Police Force, the funding gap within the clan, the potential of the new generation of Uchiha clan members, and the importance of remembering the glory of the Uchiha clan.

The way he spoke was so slow and leisurely that it made him want to fall asleep.

"This won't do either. There's no passion at all. No wonder he can't compare to the Third Hokage's Will of Fire. Shisui and Itachi will both be lured away in the future... If Trump were to transmigrate here, he could probably compete with this guy for the clan leader position. At least he knows how to create some excitement... Hmm, maybe he'd start by using a Sexy Jutsu to liven up the atmosphere for the clan members?"

Rin Uchiha's mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts.

If it weren't for Uchiha Hazuki standing next to him, giving him something to look at, he felt like he would have fallen asleep.

Fortunately, Fugaku's speech with the elders ended quickly, and the discussion then turned to recent clan affairs. Uchiha Shisui was then summoned to the stage.

The other party, as expected of someone who had been brainwashed by excessive willpower, spoke clearly and logically, with distinct viewpoints, making his speech far more interesting than Fugaku's clichés.

Rin Uchiha felt that if the other party hadn't insisted on joining the Third Hokage's side, he would have had a chance to compete for the position of clan leader in the future.

"Hmm, just vying for the clan leader seems a bit narrow-minded. We should at least get someone to become a Hokage, dah dah..."

"Strictly speaking, this guy is a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, who was a disciple of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. In a sense, he's a direct descendant of the Hokage. This perfectly fits the characteristic that the Hokage lineage is passed down only through mother-to-child transmission, teacher-student relationship, and bloodline..."

"But I guess he probably won't have a chance. This guy is four or five years older than Itachi. When he dies in a few years, he'll probably be only sixteen or seventeen. To become the clan leader or Hokage, he'll need to be at least in his twenties."

This was even with reference to Minato Namikaze, a character with a bug-like existence; otherwise, even future Kakashi and Naruto Uzumaki would have to be around 30 years old to take over as Hokage.

Ultimately, the position of Hokage is essentially a position that relies on intelligence... rather than simply being the strongest.

His mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts until... Uchiha Shisui's words came out.

"Recently, someone attacked Konoha Root, and that person seems to be a member of our Uchiha clan..."

The sound of still water was clear and firm, suddenly falling in the originally noisy council hall, like a boulder being smashed into boiling water, instantly freezing all the commotion.

Then, the whole audience erupted in uproar.

At this moment, apart from a small number of clan members, most of those who are able to stand here and participate in the clan meeting have already reached the level of at least Special Jonin, and therefore have basically all come to understand the concept of the Root organization.

Not to mention that a few months ago, during the Nine-Tails' rampage, the other party had forced them not to go out to rescue, leaving a very deep impression on them.

How could such a powerful organization be attacked, and by someone who was a member of the Uchiha clan?

In an instant, all the tribespeople perked up.

Even Uchiha Rin, the one who started it all, was no exception. She never expected that the other party would dare to bring up this matter so openly.

What does he want to do?

This thought involuntarily arose in Rin Uchiha's mind.

But what he didn't expect was what the other party did next!

Swish! ! !

The next moment, Uchiha Shisui's signature crimson Sharingan shifted slightly. After scanning the whispering clansmen below, his gaze fell directly on Uchiha Fugaku, who sat in the main seat. His eyes held no evasion, only a sharp, probing look.

then.

"Chieftain, I want to know if you were the one who did this?"

Uchiha Rin:? ? ?

Fugaku Uchiha: ? ? ?

Uchihachi Wave Elder: ? ? ?

Uchiha Itachi: ? ? ?

In an instant, the council chamber fell into a deathly silence, where even the sound of breathing became clearly audible.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha Shisui in disbelief, never expecting the other party to say such a thing.

The elders' expressions changed drastically as they all turned to look at Fugaku, their eyes filled with astonishment and a barely perceptible probing.

The clansmen, who had been drowsy, were now all on edge, their eyes darting back and forth between Shisui and Fugaku.

The attack on the root was shocking enough, but now Shisui has directly targeted the clan leader, which is a hundred times more explosive than any clan affairs discussion.

"Wow, Shisui, that's pretty bold, much bolder than I thought."

Rin Uchiha stood in the crowd, her heart skipping a beat.

He originally thought the other party was simply reporting information or trying to take the opportunity to investigate the murderer, but he did not expect the other party to be so direct and immediately target Uchiha Fugaku.

It's important to know that the other party is not only the head of the Uchiha clan, but also Itachi Uchiha's father. He has taken good care of him and entrusted Itachi Uchiha, his most precious son, to the other party's care.

As a result, the other party did this right from the start?

However, Fugaku Uchiha truly lived up to his reputation as the clan leader, possessing exceptional mental fortitude.

Even upon hearing such news, he remained seated upright in the main seat, exuding a calm and imposing aura. His deep eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Shisui. He neither immediately became angry nor rushed to defend himself, but remained silent for a moment.

Then, his deep, authoritative voice rang out: "Shisui, do you know what you're saying? Regardless of whether the attack on Root was carried out by the Uchiha clan, what gives you the right to suspect me?"

"On what grounds?"

Shisui remained unmoved, completely ignoring the strange looks from his clansmen, and continued, "Clan leader, the Root has a long-standing grudge against our clan. Their actions during the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage were witnessed by everyone in the clan, and your dissatisfaction has never been concealed."

Then, his Sharingan suddenly opened to its full extent, the three tomoe spinning rapidly: "Moreover, to be able to silently infiltrate a Root stronghold, launch an attack, and escape unscathed is something no ordinary clansman could do. It requires sufficient strength, meticulous planning, and precise knowledge of Konoha's internal defenses. Besides you, who else in the clan could simultaneously meet all these conditions and have sufficient motivation?"

These words struck like a thunderbolt once again in the council chamber.

The tribespeople immediately erupted in discussion, their voices rising even higher than before.

Some elders who favored Fugaku immediately rebuked him sternly: "Shisui! Do not be disrespectful to the clan leader! Stop talking nonsense!"

On the contrary, the hawkish elders began to look at Fugaku Uchiha with shining eyes.

"nonsense?"

Shisui turned to look at the few dove-like elders, his gaze still resolute:

"I'm not making this up, I'm just stating the facts. Root is controlled by Danzo and is the most secretive force after the Third Hokage. Attacking Root is tantamount to openly provoking the Konoha leadership. Who would dare to act without the clan head's authorization, putting the entire Uchiha clan in such a precarious position?"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku finally stood up slowly, his chakra unconsciously releasing, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.

The murmurs in the council chamber were instantly silenced, and everyone fell into a cold sweat.

His gaze swept across the entire arena before finally settling back on Shisui. His Sharingan quietly activated, the crimson three-tomoe staring directly at Shisui's Sharingan.

"Shisui, you have grown rapidly and have the clan at heart, which makes me very happy."

Fugaku's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"But you are too young and your view of things is too one-sided. I admit that I am indeed dissatisfied with some of the Root's actions towards Danzo and even the Konoha leadership. But as the head of the Uchiha clan, my primary responsibility is to protect the entire clan, not to act impulsively and push my clan to the brink of destruction."

"Attack on Root will only make the Konoha leadership more wary of the Uchiha and accelerate their suppression of our clan. This is suicidal. I would never do anything that harms the interests of my clan. Your doubt in me is a doubt in my loyalty to the Uchiha."

"And what's more, after something like this happened, you didn't tell me or the elders beforehand, but instead chose to bring it up at the clan meeting... Tell me, what are you trying to do!?"

Fugaku Uchiha, being older and more shrewd, quickly grasped the crux of the matter, shifting the focus from whether he was responsible for the attack on Root to Shisui Uchiha's loyalty to the clan.

Sure enough, the next moment, all the clansmen looked at Uchiha Shisui with strange eyes.

They respected Uchiha Shisui because of his strength, talent, and his natural stance of being on the side of the Uchiha clan.

But if the other party's heart is not with the Uchiha clan to begin with... then what good is it if he is strong?

In an instant, several of the clan members, who were originally hawkish Jonin with three tomoe, tried to surround Shisui and attack him.

but......

As Uchiha Shisui uttered his next words, all the clan members stopped in their tracks in shock.

"Then, clan leader, please tell me, besides you, who else in the clan can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan!"
