People raise Hokage in Yunyin

In a corner of the village, the Uchiha clan was starting their own carnival.

Not long ago, their clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, openly told the clansmen that he would become the new Hokage. This news made the Uchiha clansmen overcome the pain of the war and fell into ecstasy.

In Uchiha Fugaku's home, several senior Uchiha officials were visiting.

"How is the progress of teaching you what to do?"

Uchiha Fugaku sat upright with a serious look on his face.

"Clan leader, we have contacted many ninja clans. Small clans such as the Shiranui clan, the Moonlight clan, the Kurama clan and other small clans have expressed their support for us. Those big clans have not expressed their support publicly, but judging from the situation, they should remain neutral."

The person who spoke had short brown hair and unique lines on both sides of his eyes. He was a captain of the guard—Yashiro Uchiha, who was deeply trusted by Fugaku.

"Very good! As long as these small clans are on our side, the position of Hokage will naturally belong to me. When I become Hokage, those big clans will turn to us."

Uchiha Fugaku was very satisfied, everything was as he imagined.

Uchiha Yashiro asked with some concern: "I heard that Shimura Danzo also wants to become Hokage. He has gained a lot of popularity among the common people recently. Will it have any impact on the clan leader?"

Uchiha Fugaku smiled slightly, showing that he was in control, and said: "I have already considered this issue. After all, Shimura Danzo is a contemporary of the Third Hokage. It is not realistic for him to become Hokage. If he can become a Hokage at such an age, Naruto, that rule is broken."

Uchiha Fugaku meant something. Since the founding of Konoha, generations of Hokage have been held by young people. Even if the third generation took office again in middle age, he was forced by the situation and did not assume the responsibility for a long time. If at this time, the Hokage A middle-aged elder serving as Hokage undoubtedly broke the unspoken rules.

"Furthermore, Shimura Danzo is too popular and his methods are too dark. This is known to all the clans in the village. It is also because of this that the big clans are wavering." Fugaku continued to give instructions to his men.

"I know that our Uchiha clan is not popular among the people, but compared to us, Danzo will not have much advantage over us among the major clans in the village."

Speaking of this, Uchiha Fugaku felt that this wave was stable. The main reason that restricted the Uchiha clan from becoming Hokage for decades was the human heart. At this time, the only competitor in the village was not much different from his own clan in terms of reputation. Isn't this right? Not a God-given opportunity?

"The most critical point is that Shimura Danzo lacks power! He does not have the power to be Hokage and cannot protect the village. Therefore, he will not and cannot become Hokage!"

As he finished speaking, Uchiha Fugaku's faint eyes suddenly opened. Three magatama spun rapidly in his eyes, turning into a four-cornered windmill. The air seemed to be shaken, and the rising momentum made several people involuntarily lower their bodies.

"In this case, do you have any other opinions, Setsuna?"

Fugaku's eyes turned to the corner, where a figure was sitting.

Being stared at by the Mangekyou Sharingan, the breathtaking aura made Uchiha tremble for a moment, but his words revealed a little fanaticism: "No, Mr. Patriarch, your power makes us convinced."

Setsuna is the representative of the radical faction of the Uchiha clan, and this time he was also invited by Fugaku to his home for discussion.

He spread his hands and said in a high tone: "Master Patriarch, you know that we just hope that the Uchiha clan can obtain the power they deserve. We have no intention and do not want to go against you, Patriarch."

After saying this, Uchiha lowered his head for a moment and expressed his sincerity to Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku nodded with satisfaction. This was the first time he had seen someone so obedient since he became the clan leader.

"Very good, now is the most critical moment, and our clan must unite. Setsuna, restrain your subordinates, and don't give others any leverage at this time!" Fugaku said in a low voice.

"Yes, the patriarch!"

After hesitating for a while, Uchiha Setsuna asked again: "If the village still chooses Danzo in the end... what about us?"

"Then don't blame us!"

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes flashed fiercely.

……

On the other side of the Uchiha tribe, Uchiha Itachi was training alone in the forest.

call out!

The long rope stretched in the distance was cut off by a kunai. In an instant, countless kunai and shurikens flew out from all around, pointing directly at Itachi standing in the middle.

Uchiha Itachi didn't panic at all. He closed his eyes... and when he opened them again, two magatama were spinning in his eyes.

Rotating and jumping, like a butterfly, flying among the hidden weapons.

Two kunai appeared in Itachi's hands, and he threw them out while leaping, changing the trajectory of several hidden weapons.

Uchiha Itachi landed on the ground, panting slightly. The surroundings were densely covered with hidden weapons, but there was no wound on his body.

"I knew you were here."

A voice suddenly came from above his head, Itachi raised his head, and Uchiha Shisui was standing on the branch.

"Why are the training methods so radical? If you are not careful, you may be injured!"

Shisui jumped down from the tree and asked with a serious face.

Itachi avoided Shisui's gaze and brought up another topic: "Shisui, do you think my father can become Hokage?"

There was confusion and confusion in his tone.

After a pause, Itachi continued: "I was in the village today, and people everywhere were talking about Danzo-sama. He seems to be the one that the people want. Isn't it true that only those who are trusted by everyone can become Hokage?"

Shisui was a little silent. He knew Itachi was very mature, but he didn't expect that he could think of this at such a young age.

"Indeed... only someone who has everyone's trust can become Hokage."

Shisui considered his words. He believed that Itachi was the one who could inherit the will of fire. Just like the Sandaime taught him, he also wanted to pass on this will to Itachi.

"But Danzo-sama...he shouldn't be that kind of person."

"Why do you say that?" Itachi's confused voice came.

Shisui had followed the Sandaime for a while and had heard little about Danzo. He was convinced that Danzo also loved Konoha deeply, but he probably did not meet the conditions for being trusted by everyone.

Shisui said hesitantly: "Sandaime-sama once told me that Danzo-sama's behavior was a bit... extreme."

"He undoubtedly loves Konoha deeply, but his methods of doing things are unlikely to be recognized by most people."

"You mean he deceived most of Konoha?"

Itachi's words became excited, and Shisui looked at him with complicated eyes.

After a while, Itachi took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited. I just... I just can't see clearly..."

"At the last funeral, I heard Lord Danzo's speech from a distance. What he said... sounded really beautiful. Everyone worked together for Konoha and jointly promoted Konoha's development."

Shisui's eyes gradually softened. He knelt down and patted Itachi's shoulder, comforting: "I know, Danzo-sama's intentions may be good, but his methods may not be acceptable to everyone, and he does not To deceive others, he just...shows a certain side to others."

"I know you will still be confused, puzzled, and disappointed, but this is because you are still too young. As long as you continue to observe and think, you will eventually come to a conclusion. The point is... don't blindly trust others. , you have to be skeptical and think about everything.”

Shisui told Itachi that he was very optimistic about Itachi, but he was just worried that he would go astray at a young age.

He stood up, patted Itachi on the back, and said, "Don't worry, if the situation is not right, I will change everything. Whether it is the village or the family, I will not give up on anyone!"

Shisui's eyes revealed determination, and there seemed to be windmills spinning in his eyes.
