Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"What!? You, you used my appearance to save Uchiha Itachi from the people of the 'Root' organization!? And you even chatted with him about something!?"

When Shisui Uchiha woke up in the early morning light, yawning and summarizing information to Kaguya Rei as usual, Kaguya Rei mentioned this matter to him in a very casual manner. , but Uchiha Shisui suddenly woke up from the sleepiness of Monday morning almost instantly.

"There is no way. In that case, if my clone looks like someone else, it will only look more suspicious, right?"

There was no so-called laziness in Kaguya Rei's voice, "And I also want to see what kind of child Uchiha Fugaku has high hopes for, another Uchiha who may be able to activate the Mangekyou Sharingan..."

"What is your conclusion after reading this?" Uchiha Shisui's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"If he doesn't go astray, he is a good boy who is gentle and good at caring for others. His love for his family is also very pure. He also has a broad mind and broad vision that is rare among the Uchiha clan. The only thing that is not so good is probably his personality. He is a little aloof and prefers to solve problems alone rather than turning to the forces he could turn to."

Listening to Kaguya Rei's comments, Uchiha Shisui breathed a sigh of relief, but also couldn't help but frown.

"You like to use your own strength to solve problems? How obvious is this situation?"

"I asked the clone to make a little noise to test his ability to observe the surroundings. As a result, after confirming the traces left by my clone, he chased after my clone by himself."

Kaguya Rei paused for a moment and continued with a rather regretful tone:

"In terms of talent, he is indeed a genius who can succeed you as the future star of the Uchiha clan, but with this character that wants to solve everything by himself, it's hard to say whether it is good or bad... If you are still in the Uchiha clan, If you are from the Uchiha clan, you might be able to be friends with him who can promote each other and improve together, but if you are gone, this aspect of his character might be amplified and alienated by the praise of the Uchiha clan."

"...There is nothing we can do about it. I have chosen to stand by your side, Yondaime. Even if Itachi's character has been led astray, I am not in a position to help him correct it."

Uchiha Shisui sighed, recalling the enthusiastic praise and expectations of the elder jounin when he showed his talents in the clan. While feeling a little unoptimistic about Uchiha Itachi's future, he asked casually :

"Well, you also mentioned before that after you rescued Itachi Uchiha, you talked with him about something... Can you let me know the specific content?"

"Do you still remember what you said to Kisame when you first went to the Demon Country to perform a mission as a Kirigakure ninja?" Rei Kaguya said with a little ridicule in her voice, "I will pick you up. The words in the confession before the forehead protector were slightly modified to answer Uchiha Itachi's question about why you gave up everything in Konoha... It shouldn't deviate too much from your original intention, right?"

Uchiha Shisui took some time to recall what he said at that time. After recalling, he subconsciously covered his forehead and said with a wry smile:

"This, this kind of kid's joke, Yondaime, do you still remember it?"

"My memory is not so bad that I can even forget the speech of a close subordinate swearing allegiance," Kaguya rolled her eyes, "Besides, Uchiha Itachi may not have a chance to see you again in the future. Is that going to happen?" Sometimes, do you still want to temporarily fabricate a lie that is not true to deceive him? "

"You are really evil-minded," Uchiha Shisui shook his head mockingly and sighed: "If Itachi really has the character you said, after listening to these words, he has a lot of There is a chance that I will continue to pay attention to and understand you and the reforms Kirigakure is undertaking...

According to your theory, attention is the prerequisite for interest, and interest in new things is often a precursor to a smart person's downfall... Do you want to turn him into someone like Kirigakure? "

"Even if I don't tell you, because you betrayed Konoha by choosing Kirigakure, as your 'successor', Uchiha Itachi will still find ways to learn all kinds of information about Kirigakure."

Kaguya Rei calmly sorted out the information he received from Uchiha Shisui and Nagato, and said calmly:

"Since it's just the difference between earlier and later, it's not a bad thing to make him curious earlier... After all, the earlier the contact is, the weaker the unnecessary resistance will be. I don't want to take down Konoha in the future. At that time, I saw a nagging brat who was in a dilemma between the backward village that had cultivated him and the advanced ideas. In the end, he had no choice but to open his Mangekyo Sharingan and fight for his life in order to be worthy of anyone."

"Even you, aren't you willing to face the holder of the Mangekyou Sharingan with all his strength?" Uchiha Shisui was a little curious.

"That's not true," Kaguya Rei gave a negative answer. "If all the true elites of a village are killed on the battlefield, then there will only be a group of greedy and fearful people left in the land we take over. Are you an insect? How can you govern the country well with a group of insects?"

"...haven't you been working hard to improve the educational level of the Kirigakure Ninja School and promote the refinement of the division of labor among various types of ninjas? Isn't it enough to rely on their strength?"

"What is the population of Kirigakure? How big is the territory of the entire ninja world? Even if we spend more than ten years to promote the development of education, the talents we have trained will be enough to build a middle school for the newly occupied areas. The upper layer is just the skeleton. If you really want them to operate successfully, you must recruit local talents as the flesh and blood and the grassroots... If the flesh and blood of the grassroots refuses to cooperate or even simply rots and stinks, how long can you survive on the skeleton alone?"

Uchiha Shisui nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, let's continue to stay next to Hatake Kakashi... Remember to use the magic lantern body technique when communicating with Nagato next, and don't meet his body again. In the field of vision of the 'root' organization, you It has been exposed, but he has not yet. If they really dare to attack by force next time, Nagato's secret weapon can still give them a big surprise."

Kaguya Rei's magic lantern body disappeared in front of Uchiha Shisui. He just turned around and pushed open the window, looking at the bright sunshine outside the window and the rapidly bustling and recovering Konoha Village. Take a deep breath of the fresh and warm morning air.

He still couldn't forget the hometown that raised him, and he still liked the peaceful and peaceful scene that appeared in front of him. If he could, he was willing to make his own efforts to protect such a scenery.

However, compared to the Konoha Village that symbolized his stable childhood, Uchiha Shisui now prefers the Kirigakure Village that is rapidly transforming into a new look at a speed that is unimaginable to the outside world.

That symbolizes his youthful period of forging ahead and overcoming obstacles.

"I hope that after this disaster, everyone in Konoha can wake up from comfort and embark on the path of development, change, and progress again... You were once the first ninja village established in the ninja world. Kumogakure, Kirigakure, Sunagakure and Iwagakure have both watched your every move with admiration, hoping to learn ways to make themselves stronger from the various systems established by Konoha."

"Although Konoha has not had a new system breakthrough for a long time, but... you should not have lost your enthusiasm for learning and catching up, right?"

The black-haired boy put on light clothes that were convenient for movement, and like a drop of water, he quietly blended into the bustling crowd on the street.

There is still time to protect Quanqin, there is still time...
