Restarting Life: Call Me the Leader of Konoha

"Yes, Fourth Hokage-sama, I understand."

Following the winding corridor upwards, I suddenly heard a sound coming from the front.

His voice was clear and loud, and you could tell he was not very old, yet he had a lot of energy.

Ye Cang's expression changed and he looked up.

He was a boy with a round nose, neatly dressed, and with neat, messy hair. He was not much different in height from Kakashi, and was wearing a tight black combat uniform with green Jonin mail on the outside.

Of course, the 'refreshing' hairstyle is relative to Kakashi's...

The young man stood at the door, hunched over and closed the door, then walked towards the two of them.

That is...

Ye Cang narrowed his eyes and noticed the pattern embroidered on the other person's shoulder.

This child...

"Is it Hatake Kakashi?"

They happened to meet each other in the corridor, and it was obvious that the other party had also noticed them.

"It's me." Kakashi responded with some confusion, and then his eyes fell to the boy's right shoulder and he was subconsciously stunned.

This pattern is not unfamiliar, but I have only seen it on that person's back...

This guy is from the Uchiha clan!

His people?

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

"Uh... no, nothing." The boy scratched his head awkwardly, then held out his hand solemnly:

"My name is Uchiha Shisui. Nice to meet you. Please take care of me in the future!"

Uchiha Shisui!

This is Shunshin Shisui, a talented young man who made a name for himself in the Third World War like him.

"Please take care of me." Kakashi stretched out his hand without thinking too much.

The moment I touched it, I felt a slight tingling sensation in my palm...

"Your Sharingan is very special."

Shisui smiled slightly, left only one sentence, loosened his hand, and left in a hurry.

Special?

Special indeed.

As an outsider, possessing the Uchiha clan's Sharingan is indeed very special.

Kakashi sneered and stared at the boy's back with his eyes slightly narrowed.

The so-called genius may just have put in more effort in unknown places...

It is too unfair to simply use the word "genius" to cover up the efforts of others.

“I heard that the Uchiha clan members are quite unique, and it seems to be true.

"Ah! It should be said that people with Sharingan are quite unique..."

Kakashi glanced at Ye Cang unhappily, ignored him, and continued walking forward.

There is no need to think about how to add the following sentence.

‘Dong dong dong——’

"Please come in!"

Kakashi pushed the door open.

The figure sitting in the middle seat is none other than the current Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

"It's Kakashi! You came back earlier than I expected."

Minato looked at the boy who walked in and a smile appeared on his face.

This is his most proud disciple.

He is also the only disciple now...

Just come back safely!

"Teacher Minato." Kakashi walked up to him, lowered his head slightly, and handed him a red leather scroll.

Kakashi was not idle during the time on the mission and back. At least when he was on the cross-sea ferry, he summarized all the content needed in the scroll.

His intuition told him that what Mei Terumi said was quite credible...

"Please sit down first." Minato looked at the two of them, raised his hand, pointed to the seat next to them and said.

The two of them took their seats as instructed.

"Uchiha Shisui... Did you just meet Kakashi?"

The former had just left the house when the latter arrived, so it was almost inevitable that the two would meet.

Minato unfolded the scroll and said incoherently, "How do you feel?"

"Very strong."

Kakashi thought for a while and could only come up with this description.

This question is really a bit difficult for someone who has never been exposed to it.

However, Kakashi had to give an answer to Minato's question as usual.

The name 'Instant Body Stop Water' is definitely not meant to scare people.

But it might be more appropriate to say 'said to be very strong'...

Kakashi thought to himself.

"Haha, that's a talented ninja who's no less talented than you."

Minato said with a smile, his eyes still flicking over the scroll in his hand.

“The Third Generation wants me to take good care of him.

"So I transferred him to the Konoha Police Force a few days ago."

Kakashi frowned when he heard this, and then his expression became strange.

Konoha Police Force...

This is really not a good job!

He knew very well what the people in the village thought of Uchiha now.

Kakashi wondered if Minato-sensei was turning a blind eye or had other ideas...

Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Is this appropriate? I heard that the villagers are already very disgusted with the Uchiha clan serving as the Konoha police force..."

It can be said that the villagers have been resentful of the Uchiha for a long time.

And at this time, Shisui was sent in...

He was a boy who was probably younger than himself.

Is it really good for him to face such contradictions?

"Kakashi, that's exactly why I need him in this position even more."

Minato closed the scroll casually.

The information Kakashi obtained was actually not beyond his expectations.

Kirigakure's 'Blood Mist Village' policy remains the same, although the newly appointed Fourth Mizukage Yagura seems to be intent on abolishing this policy.

However, as an old model that has been used to this day, there are still many diehards who stick to their own opinions.

Therefore, the abolition of the law can only be talked about, but it is difficult to implement in practice...

This is not difficult to understand, even Minato, who is sitting in the position now, knows it better than anyone else.

The so-called "reform" is not something that can be accomplished overnight, let alone a policy that has been passed down since the founding of a village.

Only a fuse that completely reveals the "disadvantages" can truly make everyone understand the seriousness of the problem and the necessity of reform...

And this point coincides with the current situation between Konoha and Uchiha!

It seems that they are all brewing an opportunity for a conflict to break out...

Minato suddenly felt a headache!

As expected, there is no one over there who can clean up such a mess!

He came back to his senses and looked at Kakashi, then put the scroll back into the drawer and changed the subject again.

“For Shisui, this is both an exercise for him and a move for the village.

“Shisui is different from other Uchiha clan members, and he is also one of the few children in Konoha today who is not bound by the shackles of a large clan.

"Haha, this is what the third generation master told me."

Namikaze Minato laughed.

Kakashi was stunned, but he roughly guessed the purpose of this move.

Transferring Shisui to the Konoha Police Force has nothing to do with ability, achievements, or strength, but with philosophy.

Do you want to rely on Shisui to ease the relationship between the villagers and the Uchiha?

It is a solution.

but......

As a lever to balance the two ends, there will always be a day when it can no longer support, not to mention that this lever is too fragile...

As if seeing through Kakashi's thoughts, Minato continued:

“Shisui is the descendant of Uchiha Kagami, although I doubt it, maybe this is why the Third-sama wants me to take good care of him.

"But as far as I know, Senior Uchiha Kagami was a subordinate of the Second Generation. He was attacked during the peace talks with Kumogakure. In order to protect the Second Generation and the young Third Generation, he died in the battle with Kinkaku and Ginkaku..."

"This is a senior who deserves respect. The Third-Kami has been troubled for a long time in mediating between the village and the Uchiha. He once told me that Shisui inherited the will of Senior Uchiha Kagami, which is the most important thing to reverse the conflict between the villagers and the Uchiha..."

Is this so...

Kakashi lowered his head and thought, then suddenly his expression changed and he frowned and said:

"But I heard that the Second-Day hated the Uchiha clan very much when he was alive."

How could such a second generation appoint the Uchiha clan members as his subordinates? And how could this Uchiha Kagami be willing to die for him?

Everything that Minato-sensei said was contrary to common sense.

If it was said by the third generation who had witnessed it, it would have to be more credible...

"Where did you hear this?" Minato suddenly put away his self-deprecating smile and said calmly.

"Uh......"

In fact, no one has ever mentioned the history of the second generation Hokage.

Perhaps Kakashi didn't know why he said that, but this thought just popped up in his head...

It can neither stand up to thought nor be justified.

Maybe it's just a simple intuition.

"If the Second-Daime really hated the Uchiha, he wouldn't have set up the Konoha Police Force for the Uchiha to try to balance the relationship with Konoha.

"In fact, the Second Generation's attitude towards any major clan is always the same. He will never allow any potential factors that could undermine the peace of Konoha...

"This always makes people respect you."

Kakashi nodded secretly.

“Ahem, that.

"When you guys are talking about these topics, should I avoid them for a while?..."

-----------------

(I was a little lazy today and wrote late, my goodness!)

A brief mention of the plot:

There was a blank period from the time Ye Cang was rescued by Mei Terumi until he woke up, but it was not the same for Kakashi. I deliberately omitted it to avoid redundant dialogues. I will mention this part later, and it will also be one of the opportunities for Kakashi to go to Kirigakure again.

A word about the future direction:

Naruto's portrayal is more of a group portrait, so I don't want to write about mindless cheats to become stronger. I want to portray as many people as possible, and insert some perspectives from others along the way. (Try not to have too many, so that I won't lose control, after all, I can't control this kind of traditional martial arts writing style.)

I don't have much confidence in bringing together all kinds of characters, emotions, stories and experiences. I can only say that I will do my best...

Kakashi will remain the protagonist, but I want to try to write a story with Kakashi as the protagonist, a wonderful one, where he can shine. I will arrange some "hang-ups", and let him meet people he has never met before, and fight against various bosses he has never fought in the plot! (Although it will be difficult to write at that time, I am also looking forward to it~)

But the point is, I won't let him be omnipotent... that wouldn't be Kakashi! (Just a heads up!)

When conceiving these stories, I will base them on the story line of the original work. Of course, it is inevitable that some of them will occasionally affect the timeline.

Anyway, this is not something that can be solved with just a few words or ambitious resolutions, but I will try my best to write it down!)

and also:

(I plan to wait until the system automatically recommends it when it reaches 15 words. After all, the plot is still developing too slowly. This is my problem. I always like to describe things that are irrelevant and make everything clear to the readers like fools, or even not push the plot forward at all. I feel very annoyed when I look back on it, but I feel that it is somewhat necessary when I am writing it...

I'll wait until I'm fat, but please don't lose me!)

Ok! After writing this, I'm going to have some fun!
