Naruto: Family System - 04
🕑 Added 2023-05-23 20:21:51 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, there are no grapes now, and they are out on the street, otherwise Kaito would really like to have a serious conversation with the clan leader about the rotten grapes that make up certain wines.
However, his words still had an impact. Shisui is now completely unresponsive, looking at his empty expression, Kaito was pleased.
If his words fail to stir something in Shisui's heart, then it means his approach has failed.
In fact, strictly speaking, it is really risky to discuss these things with Shisui, but being forced by the system to be linked to the family, he just needs to make a decision as soon as possible.
Although less than a year may seem like a long time, for Kaito, it's like starting from scratch.
Having only one year to create something out of nothing, looking at it, if he's not in a hurry, it really won't work!
"Kaito, do you have any idea what you're talking about?"
However, it was exactly at that moment that Shisui finally woke up. He immediately looked around to check if anyone was nearby.
After confirming that they were in a safe environment, he spoke with seriousness, even with a somewhat unpleasant expression towards Kaito.
"Your ideas are dangerous, really dangerous, you..."
"Am I wrong?"
Without waiting for Shisui to finish speaking, Kaito interrupted him directly. Although his voice was still low, there was an unprecedented determination.
"We are both young, full of energy and determination, and we both share a common goal.
Although our goals have some differences, we at least wish for the clan and the village to coexist peacefully.
But look at the current situation of the clan and the village, which has deteriorated under the leadership of Uchiha Fugaku.
Shisui, your position is the most special, you should have the clearest vision."
Shisui clenched his teeth tightly, it seemed like he wanted to argue but couldn't utter a single word.
Because he knew himself that his heart had already accepted Kaito's words, and he could even say that at this moment his heart began to waver!
This was a dangerous sign, as a ninja, Shisui couldn't be more aware of that, but Kaito's words were deeply rooted in his heart, making it impossible to forget them.
Does it all come down to the problem of the clan leader? Can everything be resolved simply by changing or replacing with a better leader?
After a while, Shisui's expression calmed down, and he stared intently at Kaito before asking slowly, "So, if you were the clan leader, what would you do?"
"Shisui, don't you realize that your perspective on the problem is really narrow?"
At that moment, Kaito paused briefly, let out a light sigh, and then began speaking slowly.
As for what to do as the clan leader, in fact, both you and I know, but to what extent we can go depends on the village's stance."
While saying this, Kaito suddenly changed direction and, along with Shisui, walked towards the forest behind the Uchiha clan.
The forest surrounding the Uchiha clan was an abandoned training ground where that guy, Itachi, used to train.
Unfortunately, after he left, the place became even more desolate. However, it was convenient for Kaito now because he liked to train there regularly.
It could be said that this place had almost become his private base, where he could speak without worrying about being noticed by others.
"What do you mean by that?"
After looking around for a moment, Shisui finally voiced the question he had been wanting to ask.
"What do you mean by 'seeing the village's stance'? Are you saying that we will have difficulties dealing with the village's relations when we become clan leaders?"
"That's why I said your mindset is somewhat narrow, Shisui."
Kaito casually smiled, but soon his smile began to fade, and he became completely serious.
"The clan and the village are inseparable, that's something that cannot be changed in any way. Do you know what the biggest criticism of the Uchiha clan is currently?"
Criticism?
Shisui lightly shook his head. Although he had joined the Anbu and had access to more information, it didn't mean he could fully comprehend the meaning behind them.
For example, he couldn't understand why someone like Danzo, within the Root, held such disdain for the Uchiha.
It could be said that seeing something and fully understanding it are truly different things.
"I can tell you clearly: it's the Security Department."
Kaito sighed softly. These secrets, he thought he would never reveal them, only using them to persuade and manipulate this boy when he encountered him after his defection.
However, now he needed to bring them up to try to convince Shisui.
"The main job of the Security Department is to maintain order and stability within Konoha. At the same time, they are responsible for establishing the village's laws, strengthening and maintaining the order and security of Konoha, as well as apprehending ninja and individuals with criminal tendencies.
Honestly, the truth is that the Uchiha haven't fared so poorly in this aspect, but do you know why the reputation of the Police Department is so bad?"
"I don't know." Shisui shook his head and looked seriously at Kaito, waiting for him to provide the answer.
He didn't even realize that he now seemed more like a knowledge-hungry student.
"Actually, it all goes back to the Second Hokage, as he was the one who established Konoha's Security Department, which is the root of everything.
Officially, he entrusted this important department to the Uchiha, but in reality, he made the Uchiha clan take on the role of crime enforcement.
They used the excuse of overseeing criminals to merge the Security Department with the prison, thereby placing the Uchiha in the farthest corner of Konoha.
After all, in the past, we had Uchiha Madara, and the Second Hokage's goal was to keep an eye on the Uchiha.
It was also to prevent the possible emergence of another Uchiha Madara and be ready to take action immediately. In his view, this was a better and more comprehensive way to protect Konoha."
As Kaito mentioned this, he made a slight pause, while Shisui's face changed completely.
He knew who Uchiha Madara was and had heard of the history of this former leader. He even knew that there were still followers of Uchiha Madara within the Uchiha clan!
"And the Third Hokage and his central team were largely disciples of the Second Hokage, who always firmly followed the ideals of the Second Hokage."
Before Shisui could fully assimilate these words, Kaito spoke again, and this time his words plunged into the depths of Shisui's heart.
Under this mindset, Konoha will never trust the Uchiha, especially after the incident with the Nine-Tails. This mistrust has become even more intense.
Look at the current situation of the Uchiha, and you will understand. In a way, they have been pushed to where they are now.
And, by coincidence, we are faced with a leader like this. Our fate is quite predictable."
As he said this, Kaito sighed sincerely, and then his gaze became serious as he stared at Shisui, who seemed somewhat stunned.
"Therefore, I say that if we overthrow Uchiha Fugaku, we still need to consider the village's stance.
But we, who unify the opinions within the clan, are certainly more feared than a scattered clan. At least our stance should not be ignored by Konoha."
In fact, if we do well, if we have enough influence, we can even become Hokage through our own efforts!"
Kaito looked at Shisui, who seemed silent, but there was a gleam of determination in his eyes. He smiled and firmly tapped his shoulder.
"So, with these insects by our side, how can we govern the clan well? We must believe in ourselves!"
