Crossover Anime: I'm Dominating Konoha, Sailing Through Bleach

"During the time that the Third Hokage and Minato-senpai were away from the village, some things happened..."

I'd like to give you a brief overview of the situation before you meet with Senior Ryoyu.

"To avoid potential unpredictable events that may follow."

Seeing how serious he was, and how earnest his tone was, Minato Namikaze felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously exchanged a glance with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The latter also frowned slightly.

"It seems my fears have come true..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself.

These words caused Uchiha Shisui's eyes to flash: "Third Hokage, please allow me to recount the whole story from the beginning..."

He then recounted how the Uchiha clan discovered the people in the village.

They were treated differently from other heroic ninjas and clans.

He recounted in detail how he discovered Shimura Danzo's concealment of his achievements and Uchiha Ryosuke's plan to become Hokage.

After listening to Uchiha Shisui's account of the whole incident, Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at each other again.

Both of them remained silent.

But they were all well aware of the consequences of not handling this matter properly.

“Minato-senpai, Ryosuke-senpai’s current demand is that you must keep your promise and give up the position of Hokage.”

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Uchiha Shisui spoke to Namikaze Minato, and then he also glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately looked over at him.

This is also a genius ninja of the Uchiha clan, with great strength.

He and Uchiha Ryosuke alone were enough to turn the entire Hidden Leaf Village upside down.

"Shisui, do you also support Uchiha Ryosuke's actions?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Shisui Uchiha and asked seriously.

"My lords, I have always stood with the village; maintaining its peace and stability is my duty..."

Similarly, I don't want to see this kind of internal strife happening in the village...

"I understand what you mean. So you intend to remain neutral."

If that's the case, why not stand up and stop Uchiha Ryosuke?

I already recommended the position of Fourth Hokage to Minato before the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and now he has returned with the appointment letter personally issued by the Daimyo.

"The person before you is already the fourth Hokage in the true sense. He only needs to complete the rest of the succession process. In other words, from today onwards, you must pledge allegiance to Minato."

After Uchiha Shisui finished speaking to Namikaze Minato and the others, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to test his attitude.

And he directly and openly told him that he had passed the position of Fourth Hokage to Minato Namikaze.

This is tantamount to clearly telling the other party that one does not support the Uchiha clan's rise to power.

At the same time, it's like dragging Minato Namikaze down with him and putting him on the hot seat.

As a result, even Minato Namikaze, as the Fourth Hokage, had no choice but to step in and resolve the matter.

Uchiha Shisui was incredibly intelligent, so he naturally understood the implied meaning behind the words.

His gaze left Hiruzen Sarutobi and turned to look at Minato Namikaze.

"Third Generation Lord, in fact... I have already tried to stop Ryosuke-senpai."

Uchiha Shisui lowered his head with regret and a touch of shame, his tone revealing helplessness.

Both of them were a little surprised when they heard his words and couldn't help but stare at him.

Minato Namikaze instantly understood his meaning and couldn't help but offer words of comfort:

“Ryosuke’s strength is very strong, I have seen it with my own eyes. This is not your fault alone, Shisui.”

"He is the strongest ninja I have ever seen. To be honest, even if I were to face him, I wouldn't be confident of victory..."

Minato Namikaze's words of comfort only elicited a slight shake of his head from Shisui Uchiha.

He looked up and met the other person's gaze intently, then turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi and solemnly said, "My 'Kotoamatsukami' is the strongest genjutsu of the Uchiha clan."

"But when I tried to rewrite Ryosuke's will with this move, what I felt... was a deep-seated fear."

"He is like a bottomless abyss, and you can't test the depth of his strength at all."

Uchiha Shisui's additional explanation once again caused Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi's expressions to change slightly.

They had certainly heard of the illusionary technique called Kotoamatsukami.

Unexpectedly, even Kotoamatsukami couldn't have any effect on Uchiha Ryosuke.

At this point, even Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Ninja Doctor, began to realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Minato, what do you think?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi passed the question to Minato Namikaze.

"Lord Third Generation, I plan to meet with Ryosuke alone first and have a talk with him."

Minato Namikaze immediately gave his decision.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded solemnly.

For him, this matter was no longer as simple as a bet between two young people.

The Uchiha clan wanted to seize power, but as the Third Hokage, he wouldn't easily allow such a thing to happen.

"Go ahead and talk to him. I will personally summon all the ninjas in the village in the name of the Third Hokage."

"If the Uchiha clan ever oversteps their bounds, everyone will take action."

"Shisui, convey my words to Fugaku Uchiha. Let's split up and act now."

As expected of the third Hokage who served for decades, Hiruzen Sarutobi displayed his decisive and ruthless side at this moment.

His decision was far more serious than Minato Namikaze's mild approach.

Uchiha Shisui was immediately alarmed and dared not be negligent.

"I will go back and meet with Lord Fugaku immediately."

After Uchiha Shisui finished speaking, he vanished in a flash.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly and leisurely walked forward.

"Minato, this is your first lesson as Hokage. The Hokage needs more than just benevolence and a sense of responsibility. Now is the time for you to show your courage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded.

...

The land of the Uchiha clan.

After hearing Uchiha Shisui's explanation, clan leader Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed drastically.

He knew that Uchiha Ryosuke intended to help the Uchiha clan escape their predicament and reach the pinnacle of power in Konoha.

But he never expected that so many things would happen in just a few days since he returned to Konoha from the Uchiha clan.

The key issue is that I am unaware of most of what happened.

If it weren't for Uchiha Shisui's return to remind him, the Uchiha clan would probably have been dragged into the quagmire of war.

This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the Uchiha clan, who had just ended the Fourth Shinobi World War.

"The Uchiha clan isn't ready to fight the village right now... Ryosuke is being too reckless."

Fugaku Uchiha's expression shifted between light and dark.

Since Uchiha Shisui has personally returned to report on these matters, it means that his stance is probably not so simple.

Thinking of this, Fugaku Uchiha took another deep look at Shisui Uchiha.

This look immediately made Uchiha Shisui catch his thoughts, and he spoke up first to remind him: "Lord Fugaku, neither the Uchiha clan nor Konoha Village can withstand any more war. Our village's internal strife will only bring joy to our enemies."

"I hope you can order all Uchiha clan members not to participate in any battles..."

To Fugaku Uchiha, Shisui's request was nothing short of a betrayal.

But what he said made perfect sense, and no one could refute it.

From a broader perspective, this is indeed the case.

But what if...Uchiha Ryosuke succeeds?

"If Ryosuke succeeds, the Uchiha clan will be the masters of Konoha from now on, and will no longer be subjected to unreasonable exclusion and oppression."

"Thus, the great goal of the complete revival of the Uchiha clan is about to be achieved..."

Fugaku Uchiha began to feel conflicted.

At this moment, he remembered one of the powers of his Mangekyou Sharingan and looked at Uchiha Shisui again: "Ryoyou once said that he would handle this matter properly and make the Uchiha clan reach the peak of Konoha without bloodshed."

“If he really can do it, then I’d like to know your opinion, Shisui.”

When asked this question, Uchiha Shisui fell silent.

He pondered carefully for a while.

Instead of giving his own answer, he said, "I met with Minato Namikaze and the Third Hokage just before I came back."

"The Third Hokage has already passed the Hokage position to Minato-senpai, and this time they also brought back the Daimyo's appointment letter... This matter is settled, Lord Fugaku."

"But based on my understanding of Minato, he is a man who keeps his promises very much. He lost a bet with Ryosuke and promised to give up the position of Hokage. What do you think about this?"

Chapter 62 The Hokage Position! Ryosuke! Shisui!

"I do not know."

Uchiha Shisui felt his head was huge.

This is the biggest predicament I have ever faced in my life.

Compared to being on the battlefield, being surrounded by thousands of enemy troops is even more disheartening.

"Then take a look at this, Shisui."

As Fugaku Uchiha spoke, he began to activate the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan.

He was preparing to let Uchiha Shisui see the future he had foreseen.

Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Shisui Uchiha split up and headed in different directions.

He arrived at the Hokage's office quickly.

Uchiha Ryosuke was sitting leisurely in the Hokage's usual seat.

And both feet were propped up on the desk.

He looked every bit the owner of this place.

Upon seeing Minato Namikaze enter, he smiled slightly: "Did you come here specifically to congratulate me?"

"Congratulations?"

Minato Namikaze stood not far away, paused in confusion for a moment, and subconsciously looked towards the two advisors sitting next to him.

"Uchiha Ryosuke has been appointed by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to become the Fourth Hokage."

This is his letter of appointment, and the statement regarding the revocation of your appointment.

Xiaochun, who was turning over to her dorm, sounded like she was tattled.

Mitokado Yan remained silent with a stern face.

After hearing what Koharu Tateru said, Minato Namikaze's gaze fell on the documents on the table.

He looked up and turned his head to look at Uchiha Ryosuke, already guessing everything in his mind.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire would never go back on his word.

Since he had already appointed himself as the Fourth Hokage, but has now withdrawn the order, there is only one possibility.

"Did you consider all of this when you made that promise with me?"
