How can the family be managed well with these insects?

Unfortunately, Green Plum wasn't here, and they were out on the street. Otherwise, Habara really would have liked to share a drink with Green Plum and discuss clan heads.

Even so, his words had been more than impactful enough. Uchiha Shisui had now gone completely numb, and Habara was rather pleased to see that vacant expression on his face.

If his words could not stir any turmoil in Shisui's inner heart, then his approach would have failed.

Strictly speaking, discussing these matters with Shisui was genuinely risky. But having been forcibly bound to the clan by the system, he only needed to make a choice as quickly as possible.

Less than a year sounded like a long time, but Habara was practically starting from scratch.

He had only one year to build something out of nothing. If he still did not hurry, then there would truly be no hope!

"Habara, do you even know what you're saying?"

Yet at that moment, Shisui finally came to his senses. At the first time, he looked around in every direction, checking whether anyone was nearby.

Only after confirming that they were in a safe environment did he speak to Habara with a grave expression, one that could even be called unpleasant.

"Your idea is dangerous. Far too dangerous. You—"

"Am I wrong?"

Before Shisui could finish, Habara cut him off. Though Habara still kept his voice low, there was an unprecedented resolve in it.

"You and I are both young. We have energy and drive, and we share the same goal.

Though our goals differ somewhat, at the very least, we both hope the clan and the village can coexist peacefully.

But look at the state of the relationship between the clan and the village under Uchiha Fugaku's leadership.

Shisui, your position is the most unique. You should be able to see it most clearly."

Shisui clenched his teeth tightly. He looked as though he wanted to argue, but he could not say a single word.

Because even he knew that his inner heart had already accepted Habara's words. In fact, it could be said that he had begun to waver!

That was a dangerous sign. As a ninja, Shisui understood that better than anyone. Yet Habara's words had taken root deep within his heart, making them impossible to forget.

Could everything really be the clan head's problem? If they changed him, or even replaced him with a better clan head, could all their problems be resolved?

After a long while, Shisui's expression calmed. He stared intently at Habara before finally asking slowly, "Then, if you were the Clan Head, what would you do?"

"Shisui, have you noticed that your perspective on these matters is actually very narrow?"

At this moment, Habara held back slightly. He sighed softly before speaking at last.

"As for what a Clan Head should do, both you and I know that. But how far we can go still depends on the village's stance."

As he said this, Habara suddenly changed direction, bringing Shisui toward the forest behind the clan grounds.

The forest behind the Uchiha Clan was an abandoned Training Ground. Obito had once trained there.

But after he left, the place became even more desolate. Fortunately, that worked in Habara's favor. He often liked coming here to train.

It could be said that it had nearly become his private base. They could talk here without worrying about Other People noticing them.

"What do you mean by that?"

After surveying the surroundings, Shisui finally voiced the question he had been wanting to ask.

"What do you mean, it depends on the village's stance? Once we become Clan Head, will there still be problems in how we deal with the village?"

"That's why I said your thinking is somewhat narrow, Shisui."

Habara smiled casually, but his smile soon faded. His entire demeanor became serious.

"The clan and the village are one entity. That is something that cannot be changed no matter what. Do you know what the Uchiha Clan's greatest flaw is right now?"

A flaw?

Shisui Shook Head lightly. Though he had joined the Anbu and could see more than before, seeing something did not mean he understood what it meant.

For example, he could not understand why Shimura Danzō, the man in Root, held such Disgust toward the Uchiha.

Seeing and understanding were truly two entirely different things.

"I can tell you plainly: it is the Military Police Force."

Habara sighed faintly. He had originally thought that he would never reveal these secrets, perhaps only using them to trick Sasuke after defecting.

But now, he had no choice but to bring them out and use them to Attempt to persuade Shisui.

"The Military Police Force's primary duty is to maintain public security and stability within the Hidden Leaf Village.

At the same time, it is responsible for establishing the village's regulations, strengthening and maintaining the order and security of the Hidden Leaf Village, and arresting people and ninja with criminal tendencies.

To be honest, the Uchiha have not done too badly in this regard. But do you know why the Military Police Force has such a terrible reputation?"

"I Don't Know." Shisui Shook Head, then looked seriously at Habara and waited for him to give an answer.

He probably had not realized it himself, but right now he looked more like a student filled with a thirst for knowledge.

"In truth, it all goes back to our Second Hokage, because the Leaf Village Police Force he established was the root of everything.

Nominally, he entrusted this important department to the Uchiha, but in reality, he Made Him the Uchiha Clan take on the role of punishing evil.

Under the pretense of monitoring criminals, he built the police force headquarters together with the prison. In doing so, he openly drove the Uchiha Clan into a corner of the Leaf Village.

After all, our clan had once produced Uchiha Madara. The Second Hokage's purpose was to monitor the Uchiha.

It was also to ensure that when the next Uchiha Madara appeared, they could respond immediately. In his view, this would protect Konoha more effectively."

At this point, Habara paused slightly, while Shisui's expression had completely changed.

Shisui knew who Uchiha Madara was and had heard the stories of that former Clan Head.

He even knew that quite a few of Uchiha Madara's followers had once still remained within the Uchiha Clan!

"And the Third Hokage and his core team were essentially all disciples of the Second Hokage. They had always firmly followed the Second Hokage's ideals."

Before Shisui could fully process those words, Habara spoke once again, and This Time, his words made Shisui's heart sink to the bottom.

"Under such ideals, Konoha would never trust the Uchiha, especially after the Nine-Tails Attack. That distrust only grew more severe.

Just look at the Uchiha's current situation. In a sense, they were pushed into this by those people.

And by an unfortunate coincidence, we encountered a Clan Head like this. Our fate is practically obvious."

Having said that, Habara truly let out a sigh. Then, with a stern gaze, he looked towards Shisui, who still seemed somewhat dazed.

"That is why I said that after we overthrow Uchiha Fugaku, we will still need to see the village's attitude.

But once we unite the opinions within the clan, we will definitely be far more intimidating than a divided clan. At the very least, Konoha cannot ignore our stance so easily.

In fact, if we do well enough and gain sufficient influence, we may even become Hokage through our own efforts!"

Habara looked at the outwardly silent Shisui, whose eyes seemed to flash with a trace of fervor, then smiled and gave his shoulder a heavy pat.

"So, how can we possibly govern the clan alongside these insects?

We have to believe in ourselves!"
