I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

I heard that a senior from the school graduated early.

If he remembered correctly, his father had also mentioned this person.

Kakashi Hatake.

The only genius who doesn't have Uchiha blood but possesses a Sharingan.

If he could graduate early, his father would probably be very happy.

After all, this undoubtedly greatly enhanced the reputation of the Uchiha clan in the latter's view.

As Itachi walked home, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

......

The next day, in the Hokage's office.

Yun Ting met Uchiha Shisui for the first time. In Naruto, he also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, but in history, he was only mentioned briefly before his tragic end.

The first time he saw her, he was very impressed by her round nose.

Of course, what made him realize even more that this person was unusual was the other person's cheerful and gentle temperament, which was completely out of place with the Uchiha clan.

It has to be said that Yun Ting, who is now the Hokage, is very lucky.

The two genius teenagers from the Uchiha clan who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan were both outliers in the Uchiha clan, and their love for the village far exceeded that for the clan.

If the two of them had personalities like Madara Uchiha, even he would be having a headache right now, and his attitude towards the Uchiha would change drastically.

It's unclear what Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking in the original history. He had two incredibly strong cards to play, and it should have been the time for Konoha to grow stronger, but he played them terribly.

Because he failed to manage his vicious dog, Shisui's selfishness drove him to commit suicide.

Itachi was forced to personally act as the executioner and then distance himself from the Uchiha clan due to their betrayal.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the leader of Konoha, bears undeniable responsibility for all of this.

I'm getting old after all!

If it were a younger version of Ren Xiong, these things probably wouldn't have happened.

Therefore, the latter should just enjoy his old age.

With Yun Ting now in power, he will naturally not allow these tragedies to happen again.

Just like now, with Danzo permanently confined to his home, all the Root ninjas were thrown into the battlefield by the Cloud Ninja and the Mist Ninja, causing great losses to the latter.

Although they suffered heavy losses themselves, just as they wished when they joined Root, they truly shone and contributed to Konoha.

Therefore, Uchiha Shisui no longer needs to worry about anyone plotting to steal his eyes.

At this moment, Shisui was unaware that the person in front of him was the savior of his life, and this was the first time he had met the Fourth Hokage.

He naturally held this person, who was now the greatest contributor to improving the Uchiha clan and Konoha, in high regard and even mentally associated him with the First Hokage, who was now almost deified.

It's all because of the same Wood Release technique, the same immense power, and the same tolerant and generous heart.

"Lord Hokage!"

Zhi Shui knelt on the ground and respectfully greeted Yun Ting.

Chapter Ninety-Two: The Arrangement of Zhishui

"Lord Hokage!"

Zhi Shui knelt on the ground and respectfully greeted Yun Ting.

"Get up, great hero of Konoha," Yun Ting said with a smile, raising his hand.

Upon hearing this, Shisui stood up.

Although he was only a teenager, his height of 1.8 meters made him appear exceptionally mature. Coupled with the aura of someone who had experienced the ravages of war, he truly lived up to his name of "Instantaneous Stillness".

Yun Ting nodded with appreciation and said, "I suppose you've guessed the purpose of my return, Shisui, but before that, there's something else I need to do for you. Ritsuko!"

Soon, the sound of high heels clicking on the floor filled the air.

When Ritsuko Yamanaka arrived, she was holding a Jonin vest in her hands.

Yun Ting took it and handed it to Shisui, saying, "Congratulations, Shisui. From today onwards, your rank has been promoted from Special Jonin to Jonin."

Not just anyone is qualified to be a Jonin.

Even at the front-line command, the maximum promotion for meritorious ninjas is limited to Special Jonin.

To be promoted to Jonin, one must be sent back to Konoha, have the Jonin team discuss and decide on the matter, and have the Hokage personally sign off on it.

This is because Jonin are not only the highest-ranking combatants in the ninja village, but also enjoy greater power.

For example, the Jonin Council has a vote of confidence to decide whether a new Hokage should be appointed.

Although most of the time it's just a formality, the status is still there.

Therefore, even though Shisui made great contributions on the battlefield of Kirigakure, he was only a special Jonin until now due to factors such as authority and time.

Now that he's back, Yun Ting can make up for it.

Shisui was naturally very happy.

After all, for ninjas, the titles of Genin, Chunin, and Jonin are like Master's, Doctor, and Academician titles; who wouldn't want their title to be a higher level?

"Thank you, Hokage!" Shisui accepted the vest representing a Jonin, clearly quite fond of it.

Seeing this, Yun Ting patted him on the shoulder and said, "Shisui, you've become a Jonin at such a young age. In all these years in Konoha, only Kakashi can compare to you. Keep up the good work! My expectations for you go beyond just becoming a Jonin; I believe you have the potential to become a great ninja!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shisui was instantly energized, excitedly saying, "Thank you for your praise, Hokage-sama! I will definitely live up to your trust and do my best!"

If this were a game, then at this moment, Zhishui's loyalty to Yunting would jump from 100% to 200%.

When Yun Ting transmigrated to this time, he was somewhat regretful that he became Hokage in one step, directly fulfilling the long-cherished wish of most Naruto fans. As a result, he lacked the joy of struggle and found it difficult to truly connect with those he knew.

But now that I think about it, it feels pretty good to have all the heroes of Konoha on the dice and have them pledge their loyalty to me to the death.

Cough!

It seems a bit like Versailles.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Yun Ting continued, "Although you've been promoted to Jonin, Shisui, you won't have many opportunities to wear this disguise in the future. You should be able to guess why."

'really......'

Shisui thought for a moment, then nodded seriously.

Seeing this, Yun Ting stopped teasing him and said, "Shisui, effective immediately, you are appointed as the captain of the third squad of the first division of the Anbu. As the first Uchiha to join the Anbu, you have undoubtedly made history, but you also bear an important mission. As a bridge between the Uchiha and Konoha, I hope you will show me the Uchiha's loyalty to Konoha through your actions."

Upon hearing this, Shisui solemnly replied, "Rest assured, Hokage, I will use my life to demonstrate the Uchiha clan's loyalty to Konoha."

"I look forward to your performance. Next, I will send someone to take you to the Dark Division. Adapt to the work of the Dark Division as soon as possible. There will be many more missions waiting for you, 'Shinsui' (a character in the game)." Yun Ting gave his final instructions.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!" Shisui respectfully bid farewell and then turned to leave.

History took a small turn here.

Under Yun Ting's special arrangement, Shisui replaced Itachi and became the first Uchiha to join the Anbu several years ahead of schedule.

The reason for placing him in such an important position was not only to reassure the Uchiha clan about the Konoha Police Force incident, but also to truly and completely win over Shisui to his side.

If he remembers correctly, Shisui has now awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and possesses Kotoamatsukami, which is known as the strongest genjutsu.

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, he understood perfectly.

After all, an individual's abilities are the most closely guarded secret for a ninja.

Konoha has never issued a policy requiring every ninja to voluntarily disclose their abilities.

This is like asking all ninja clans to hand over their secret ninjutsu techniques—it's highly unrealistic.

In the original work, Shisui revealed the secret of Kotoamatsukami to a group of Konoha leaders because, given the irreconcilable conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha, he hoped to use his eye technique to change everything.

He was just too naive and overestimated the integrity of the three generations of people.

Faced with the extraordinary power of Kotoamatsukami, which can alter people's thoughts without their awareness, any normal person in power would immediately eliminate it or make it work for them.

After all, this ability can change others, and who knows if it might unknowingly change oneself one day.

To fool one's own mind is more despicable than to kill oneself.

Although Yun Ting was wary of this, it wasn't that great.

His strength far surpasses that of the Third Hokage, Danzo, and others.

Putting aside the fact that Shisui's strength was simply insufficient to allow Kotoamatsukami to hit him in a real fight, if he were in Wood Release + Sage Mode, coupled with the various genjutsu resistance techniques he had researched over the past thousand years as the mortal enemy of the Uchiha clan, his genjutsu resistance would far exceed that of ordinary people.

If it actually hits, it's uncertain how effective Kotoamatsukami will be.

Moreover, given Shisui's character, it's impossible for him to lay a hand on the Hokage of Konoha.

Didn't you see in the original story that even though he was ambushed by Danzo and had one of his eyes taken away, he didn't think about revenge, but instead sacrificed himself to ensure the continuation of peace between the Uchiha and Konoha?

Therefore, Yun Ting had complete confidence in Zhi Shui, both in terms of his strength and his character.

Especially since he will need to rely on the power of Kotoamatsukami in the future.

The immediate priority is to turn them into our own people.

At this moment, Yun Ting gazed out the window, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

The transformation of the ninja world cannot be accomplished overnight.

It takes time.

We also need like-minded partners.

Yun Ting also has great ambitions.

He did not wish to establish a dynasty like the Qin, which was only stable during his reign, but perished after only two generations once he was gone.

May our spirits forever flourish and our land enjoy the blessings of our ancestors.

This is the real great undertaking.

Yun Ting is still young, so he can afford to wait.

However, the necessary preparations still need to be made.
