Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

Danzo, the long-absent Root of Konoha, half the sky of Konoha, who has returned as the chief advisor to the Hokage, also had a furrowed brow and nodded righteously, leaving people wondering what he was thinking.

Anyway, when Danzo's three friends saw his expression, even the cunning Hiruzen Sarutobi thought that his best friend was worried about the village. After all, his best friend had been criticizing the Uchiha for a long time, and now that two super geniuses had emerged from the Uchiha, it was normal for his best friend to be worried.

However, no matter how much his best friend crossed the line in the past, he has always loved Konoha...

"...No, Itachi Uchiha is Fugaku Uchiha's son after all. If we recruit his son into Root, the Uchiha clan will inevitably rebel. It would be better to send Shisui Uchiha to Root and Itachi Uchiha to Anbu..."

Koharu shook her head and said that, based on her understanding of Danzo, Danzo definitely didn't have any good intentions in sending Itachi Uchiha to Root. The Uchiha couldn't afford to mess things up in the village right now.

The village knows perfectly well what Danzo's Root organization does and who its members are. If Fugaku Uchiha knew that his genius son had been placed in Root, it would be strange if he didn't lead a rebellion. Konoha is currently at its weakest point. Even if the village wins, losing the Uchiha, such an important fighting force, could trigger a war. Therefore, Itachi Uchiha definitely cannot join Root.

Of course, she also thought Danzo's suggestion was fine. It was too risky to let her friend's grandson and Itachi Uchiha enter the Anbu at the same time. Even if young people are geniuses, they are still too inexperienced and can't be fooled, let alone two young boys who haven't even grown up yet. Although the Uchiha clan's talk-no-jutsu is not very good, they are still their own people. No matter how sharp their words are, they are still outsiders.

It was right for my friend's grandson to be separated from Itachi Uchiha. No matter how talented a person is, they can't cause much trouble in the Anbu.

Moreover, she also had some selfish motives. Although she and Uchiha Kagami were not destined to be together, they were still friends. No matter how much Danzo was at odds with the Uchiha, he and Kagami had grown up together. By bringing Kagami's grandson into Root, Danzo might not do anything to his grandson because of Kagami.

After all, the fact that Danzo asked for Itachi Uchiha instead of his friend's grandson shows that although Danzo has become somewhat ruthless over the years, he still has feelings... His friend's grandson is caught between the village and the Uchiha clan, and can no longer remain uninvolved. This way, he might be able to save him.

"...Let's do as Koharu suggests. It's really not appropriate for Itachi Uchiha's body to enter Root...sigh!"

After listening to his three friends, Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a long time, then spoke after transforming the office into a paradise on earth.

For many years, he has adhered to the First Hokage's ideology, hoping that the Uchiha clan and the village could coexist harmoniously. Although the Uchiha are arrogant, their fighting strength is obvious even without the Senju clan. If the Uchiha clan could truly coexist with the village, then the village would be truly powerful. Moreover, both the Uchiha and Senju clans are founding clans of Konoha. Although this fact has been downplayed since the time of the Second Hokage, it is still true. The Senju clan has produced two Hokage, so theoretically, it wouldn't be a problem for the Uchiha clan to serve as Hokage for a term.

The key problem is that the Uchiha's character design is terrible!

Even if he agreed that the Fifth Hokage was Uchiha, the other clans in the village would definitely not agree. Madara was so brave back then, which clan in the Land of Fire hadn't been defeated by him? The Hyuga clan was so defeated by Madara that they had to cling to the First Hokage's leg.

If the Uchiha clan were to become Hokage, the first one to step forward and wave the flag would probably be the Hyuga clan. Hiashi and his grandfather's brothers were all killed by Madara, a disgrace to their clan; it's no wonder they can't forget it. It seems the Hiruzen Sarutobi clan is in a similar situation...

So whether it's for character design or for the sake of village unity, the Uchiha clan is destined not to ascend to the throne. The key issue is that they're just as clueless as their best friend Danzo, obsessed with the Hokage position, which makes things very difficult for Hiruzen Sarutobi!

845. With a handsome father like Scorpion, the chances of him going insane are very high.

"...Well...okay."

Upon hearing what Koharu and her best friend were saying, Danzo was startled. He forcibly suppressed his excitement, but his voice still trembled slightly as he nodded reluctantly.

I was secretly giving myself a huge thumbs up for my cleverness.

If we were to ask Itachi Uchiha and Kagami Uchiha who he cared about the most, it would definitely be his friend's grandson, Shisui Uchiha.

When he heard that Uchiha Shisui had single-handedly defeated more than a dozen enemies, the words "Mangekyou Sharingan" immediately popped into his mind. Others might not know, but he knew that if anyone in the Uchiha clan had a chance of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, it would undoubtedly be Uchiha Shisui.

Because he possesses a Mangekyou Sharingan from the Uchiha Kagami. His grandfather was so powerful; there's no reason why his descendants shouldn't be weak in every generation. Unlike Nawaki, whose bloodline was diluted, he has always maintained pure Uchiha blood.

Initially, his focus was on Uchiha Kagami's son. While collaborating with Orochimaru on research into the Sharingan, he had always harbored feelings for Kagami's son, thinking that since his father could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, his son shouldn't be too far behind, right?

However, Uchiha Kagami's son disappointed him, as he died before awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan. By the time it came to Uchiha Kagami's grandson, perhaps because the kid was relatively low-key and did not show his powerful talent in front of outsiders, he did not pay much attention to him. After all, he was still a kid, and even if he could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, it would be a long time before he became Hokage!

It would be more practical to use that time to gather more children with bloodline limits in the ninja world and train them as underlings.

However, this unexpected moment of fame for Uchiha Shisui made him turn his attention back to the present. Good heavens!

It turns out he'd been fooled by Uchiha Kagami's grandson's appearance all these years. This guy is a real genius!

Although he wasn't sure if the kid's incredible comeback against more than ten opponents was due to the Mangekyou Sharingan, it was undeniable that the kid's talent was absolutely formidable, even surpassing that of Uchiha Kagami. Uchiha Kagami at this age didn't possess such a fighting prowess.

So regardless of whether this kid has awakened the kaleidoscope or not, in his view, it's certain that this kid will awaken the kaleidoscope.

As for Uchiha Itachi... although he's showing great potential, he's not optimistic about him.

No one in Itachi's direct lineage for generations had ever possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan. The Uchiha clan head's lineage was formed after Madara's departure without leaving any descendants, which is why this line was chosen as the clan head. In other words, it's not a legitimate clan head lineage, and historically, it hasn't produced any particularly powerful figures. Therefore, although Itachi's momentum seems stronger than Shisui's, given the precedent of Kagami Uchiha, he still favors Shisui more.

Of course, if he could have both fish and bear's paw, he would have no objection. After all, the Uchiha clan, with its powerful talent, also has a chance to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, right?

However, because he knew the personalities of his three friends, especially his best buddy, he knew it was impossible for him to get both of them at the same time. So he could only set his sights on Uchiha Shisui, who he thought had a higher chance of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, he couldn't go to his best friend's house to ask for Uchiha Shisui, as his best friend would definitely refuse. The only way was to retreat in order to advance, making his three friends, especially his best friend, mistakenly believe that he had designs on Uchiha Itachi, the young head of the Uchiha clan, and that he wouldn't harm Uchiha Shisui because of his feelings for Uchiha Kagami's descendants. In this way, both his best friend and the two friends would choose to hand Uchiha Shisui over to him.

After all, Itachi Uchiha's identity is too sensitive. He is the legitimate heir of the Uchiha clan. Just because of this identity, his best friend and buddy would not hand him over.

So from the beginning, he was after Uchiha Shisui.

Danzo was incredibly excited when he heard what his friends and best buddies were saying!

I'm a fucking genius! ヾ(^Д^*)/

.......

"Why are you out with another pretty girl again? What's wrong with you? You look so gloomy first thing in the morning, like someone owes you millions."

In Sunagakure, Shinto woke up early in the morning and saw Ebizo sitting in his armchair with a worried look on his face, as if everyone owed him money.

Karin is already three years old. Her talent is still unknown. Chiyo doesn't plan to let this little princess get involved in ninjutsu, puppetry, sealing techniques, and the like. With Sasori's "failure" as a precedent, Chiyo would never allow her precious great-granddaughter to be interested in anything. With Sasori as her father, genetically speaking, the chances of her going crazy if she becomes interested in something are just too high!

Handsome Scorpion got into puppetry too early and was too talented. He didn't have much contact with his peers when he was young, which led him to get stuck in a rut.

Karin's father is the super puppeteer Sasori, and her mother has the top bloodline of the Uzumaki clan. No one would believe that her talent is bad. If she were to come into contact with ninjutsu, puppetry, and sealing techniques too early and become addicted to them, it would be a disaster. Having such a precious grandson is enough.

Besides, it's not wartime now. Her precious nephew and the others can take care of him, and there's no need for her little darling to work hard for the village's rise.

To prevent her little darling from ending up like her father, Chiyo takes her out every morning from the time Karin can walk to spend time with other children her age and have a happy childhood, so that she won't be as withdrawn as her precious grandson.

Shinto thought Chiyo's worries were completely unnecessary. First of all, girls of the Uzumaki clan are not born with that kind of character setting. Violence, cheerfulness, and optimism are their normal character settings. They forget all their troubles after a few days, especially girls with such infatuation. Just look at Uzumaki Shuri. She suffered a terrible ordeal, but after meeting Sasori, her handsome true love, she lost her mother one day and was drooling over Sasori the next.

Karin inherited her mother's infatuation with girls, and was born with a personality that was neither aloof nor prone to madness.

Chiyo would listen to him on other matters, but when it came to their child's education, Shinto had no say. Rumors in the ninja world, once spread, became accepted as truth, and even now they believed that Sasori's current state was due to the excessive beatings he received from Shinto, which had caused some mental instability...

"Hey! I really don't know how you became the leader of the Jonin squad. You haven't retired yet; I'm the one who's truly retired. Haven't you heard of 'Shisui of the Body Flicker' being so popular lately? I'm worried about the future of the village! Konoha has produced another genius!"

Ebizo sighed with a look of deep concern for his country and its people.

846. The once ruthless and decisive Golden Lion is gone forever.

Ebizo sighed deeply, lamenting the injustice of fate. His Sand Village was one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, yet in all these decades, they had barely produced any geniuses. Meanwhile, Konoha had a plethora of geniuses, including Senju, Senju, and Madara.

Now, after finally managing to take over Konoha, which has been plagued by its own antics, with its top ninja members either dead or gone, leaving a generational gap, and yet, just a few years later, another super genius has emerged. And this achievement rivals that of Shinto and White Fang. At only twelve years old, he single-handedly fought five Jonin and over ten Chunin, ultimately managing a dramatic comeback. Since Shinto and White Fang's rise to prominence, no one in the ninja world has been able to achieve such feats. Now, the Uchiha clan has suddenly produced one, and this pace is even more impressive than his beloved grand-nephew!

His precious grand-nephew is said to have talent surpassing even his grandmaster, the Puppet Master, but he only started fighting the Seven-Tails in various one-on-one battles at the age of nine...

Now, among the next generation of villagers, Ebizo truly cannot think of anyone who can match this "Instantaneous Stillness." Not to mention matching, there isn't even anyone who could withstand a few rounds of this skill.

Ebizo once suspected that perhaps the feng shui of Sunagakure was bad, since Konoha's location was on a dragon vein...

"You mean Uchiha Shisui? Uchiha Kagami's grandson? (⊙_⊙)?"

Shinto looked at Ebizo, who was still worrying unnecessarily, with a question mark on his face. For the past two years, he had been accompanying Tsunade to casinos. Nawaki's flirting skills were so bad that he had paved the way for him, but the guy hadn't even hit first base. So he hadn't had the time to pay attention to the news in the ninja world.

Upon hearing Ebizo mention "Shisui of the Body Flicker," he realized that this was none other than the grandson of the First Konoha Little Sun, Uchiha Kagami. Come to think of it, he had visited Konoha many times since Uchiha Kagami's death, but he had never paid attention to Kagami's descendants. Now, hearing Ebizo mention him, he remembered that this generation of Uchiha not only had the youngest son, Uchiha Itachi, but also Uchiha Shisui, who had somehow awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"I don't know if he's Uchiha Kagami's grandson, but he definitely has that name. Last month, they encountered our people at the border of the Land of Fire. A battle broke out, and in the end, all the Konoha ninjas were killed by our people. But then, I don't know if this kid was on drugs, but he managed to pull off a last-ditch counterattack and kill more than a dozen of our people, five Jonin and twelve Chunin..."

While introducing the achievements, Ebizo said with a toothache that no matter how many times he heard about them, his teeth still ached.

"Wow! This kid's not simple!"

Shinto stroked his chin and pondered. Judging from what Ebizo said, for a kid of about ten years old to be able to turn the tables on their lineup, especially under these specific conditions, he must have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Since ancient times, awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan has usually been accompanied by human tragedy. Madara and Izumi only awakened their Sharingan after their fathers died, and Obito only awakened it after his world, Rin, died tragically in front of him.

Although he hadn't heard of Uchiha Kagami awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan back then, he figured that Uchiha Kagami himself was very talented, and with Senju Ryuu sacrificing himself to cover their retreat, given Uchiha Kagami's emotional journey, there was no reason why he wouldn't awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. He could only say that Uchiha Kagami must have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan back then, but he hid it very well and no one found out.

Given Uchiha Shisui's situation at the time, with all his companions killed, it would be truly unbelievable if he couldn't awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan after such a tragic fate. Moreover, considering the Uchiha clan's current capabilities, even if Uchiha Shisui possessed extraordinary talent and mastered all of the Uchiha clan's ninjutsu, without Madara's cataclysmic Fire Release techniques, it would be almost impossible for him to turn the tables on such a lineup without awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan. Furthermore, these small-scale team battles rely more on individual skills. Therefore, it's safe to assume that Uchiha Shisui has most likely awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan to the highest level, Double Flower Red Staff.

"Sigh! Konoha truly lives up to its reputation as a cradle of geniuses. They just lost the Fourth Hokage, and now another one like Uchiha Itachi has emerged..."

Ebizo sighed and looked up at the sky. Back then, whether it was White Fang's rise, the rise of the three legendary Sannin of Konoha, or even the rise of Minato Namikaze, Ebizo was not worried because they had Shinto as their top fighter. He believed that Shinto could hold on. At that time, Shinto was still young and capable of fighting. But now that Uchiha Shisui has emerged, he is a little anxious.

Shinto is already over fifty, so even if he can still fight, how many more years can he fight? But this Uchiha Shisui is only a brat in his teens. By the time he grows up, Shinto will be a damn old man. If another war breaks out then, who will be able to withstand this Uchiha Shisui?

Luo Sha is simply no good!

"...Stop worrying unnecessarily. If it were someone else, your concerns might be valid, and Konoha might be able to maintain its dominance for decades. However, if this person is the Uchiha, things might be different. Don't forget that the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha has never been good. The emergence of Uchiha Shisui might not be a good thing for Konoha. The Uchiha and Senju are the two founding clans of Konoha. The Senju clan has already produced two Hokage, while the Uchiha clan still doesn't have one. This speaks volumes. I reckon the ones who are really worried right now are Konoha's four leaders. When will it be our turn? And let me tell you a little secret: I knew from the first glance that Fugaku Uchiha's eldest son would be incredibly talented. This means that the Uchiha clan isn't just about Uchiha Shisui. If Fugaku's eldest son also emerges in a couple of years, Konoha's four leaders will be in trouble!"

Seeing Ebizo frowning, even though he was two years younger than Chiyo, he seemed to have become Chiyo's older brother. Shinto comforted him speechlessly, saying that the older you get, the more sentimental you become. He sometimes felt that way too, that the decisive and ruthless Golden Lion was gone... but it wasn't too obvious. It was much more obvious at Ebizo's age.

The Uchiha clan produced two super geniuses, which is why people like Hiruzen Sarutobi are worried. What are you worried about?

While not entirely certain, Danzo, who had been a staunch opponent of the Uchiha clan for decades, certainly wouldn't sit idly by. He had studied the Sharingan with Orochimaru, and although his limited education restricted his depth, he still possessed a relatively thorough understanding compared to others. Although he didn't know the exact year Shisui Uchiha was killed by Danzo in the original story, he was certain that since Shisui had emerged, Danzo had already set his sights on him!

847. How did Itachi kill his family to prove his Dao?

Moreover, Itachi Uchiha's youngest son has probably already been identified as a key figure by the four great leaders of Konoha. Although he did not break Kakashi's record as the youngest ninja, as long as Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others are not blind, they can see just how talented this kid who graduated at the age of six really is.

These two super geniuses both come from the Uchiha clan; it's no wonder the four giants of Konoha are anxious!

Moreover, what's so special about Uchiha Shisui taking on a dozen or so at his peak age of ten? His youngest son is someone who has proven his path by slaughtering thousands of people!

However... sometimes I think that, judging from the original work, although Itachi Uchiha was quite strong, he was clearly a technical type of person. Apart from Madara, who was both a skilled fighter and a tough guy, almost everyone in the Uchiha clan was a technical type. Technical types may be sharp in one-on-one combat, but they are obviously lacking in recoil in large-scale team battles. And there are one or two thousand named members in the Uchiha clan, not to mention the elderly, weak, women and children.

So here's the question: even if Itachi Uchiha awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and his fighting power skyrocketed, it would still be difficult for a skilled fighter to kill a thousand pigs one by one, let alone several thousand people. How could Itachi possibly manage to wipe out his entire clan without them even putting up a fight? Even with Danzo's inside help and Obito's assistance, they couldn't possibly manage it in just one night!

Although he hadn't witnessed it firsthand, he had used his Observation Haki to observe the leader's strength during the Nine-Tails' Night battle. To be honest, he was really weak, lacking any basic skills. Such an excellent Kamui space-time ability was completely ineffective in Obito's hands. It was a space-time ninjutsu that was clearly more convenient and faster than the Flying Thunder God Technique, but it was incredibly weak in his hands!

Even with the genes of the Senju master, it only enhances his stamina; his actual skill level is incredibly weak. Even if he could defeat a three-tomoe Sharingan user in a one-on-one fight, it would only cause a huge commotion. Moreover, he has been in the ninja world for so long and has never heard of any bloodline suppression, so the idea of ​​bloodline suppression simply doesn't exist.

Danzo's Root underlings were just a bunch of tools, and their strength wasn't as great as one might imagine. At most, they only knew some random, life-for-life sealing techniques that Danzo had researched.

Brother Obito, how did the Root underlings plus Itachi Uchiha manage to wipe out the entire Uchiha clan overnight without a sound?

In any case, Shinto's imagination couldn't possibly come up with such a thing, unless Kishimoto gave his youngest son a cheat code: killing his own family members restores his stamina, and then he uses incredibly powerful illusion magic to take them down one by one...

"Sigh! I hope so..."

Ebizo had no idea what kind of nonsense Shinto was thinking right now. Even if Shinto told him that Uchiha Shisui's achievements were nothing special, and that in two years, Uchiha Fugaku's eldest son would annihilate the Uchiha clan overnight after achieving enlightenment, Ebizo would still think it was utter rubbish.

So when I heard what Masato said, I realized that it really was true. Although the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha wasn't common knowledge, the higher-ups of the major ninja villages were aware of it. Even though they didn't know the inside story, the fact that the Third Hokage was Hiruzen Sarutobi, not the Uchiha, made them more or less able to guess that there was something fishy going on between the Uchiha and Konoha.

Ebizo, being a veteran who had experienced World War I, had a better understanding of the intricacies between the Uchiha and Konoha. Therefore, after listening to Masato's analysis, he found it reasonable. Minato Namikaze, the only one in Konoha's younger generation capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities, was already gone, and no exceptionally talented individual had yet emerged in the next generation. Sakumo's son had completely fallen behind since acquiring the Sharingan, which had initially given Ebizo a cold sweat. This guy was already incredibly talented, and now with the Sharingan, it seemed like he was out of the game. However, the final results proved that he had worried unnecessarily.

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is so unpredictable; 1+1 doesn't necessarily equal 2, and sometimes it might even be less than 1.

There aren't many young talents in Konoha right now, and the only one who can hold the fort is from the Uchiha clan. This is definitely going to give Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others a headache. The Uchiha have suffered a lot at the hands of Konoha over the years!

......

The rise to fame of Uchiha Shisui, known as "Shisui of the Body Flicker," has brought joy to some and sorrow to others. The Uchiha clan is happy, even though the child's thoughts are not yet aligned with theirs. But it doesn't matter; the child is still young. Without a mentor like Tobirama Senju, his skills were all learned within the clan, making it too easy to manipulate him!

With the addition of a young clan leader whose talent was no less than his, the entire Uchiha clan felt that their spring had arrived!

The Third World War and the direct confrontation with the Kaguya clan caused them great losses, but now they feel they are invincible again!
