Shisui: Itachi Will Never Let the Tragedy of the Uchiha Clan Downfall Happen!

"Video Law Enforcement?"

Listening to Kaze's explanation, Shisui's pupils trembled slightly.

He had originally thought that Kaze's ideas were rather simple and straightforward.

That was why he had believed solving the issue of violent law enforcement would be relatively easy.

But now, it seemed...

Kaze's way of thinking was truly impressive.

With videos of the enforcement process, whether the problem lay with the Uchiha Clan or the criminals...

One only needed to watch the Video to understand the truth.

Not only could it clear everything up, it could also make enforcers rein in their condescending attitudes.

But how many people could think that far ahead? How many could come up with such a solution?

At the very least, Shisui had not thought of it.

Neither had Fugaku.

Nor had the Third Hokage.

Of course...

This idea had not simply popped into Kaze's head.

The world he had lived in before transmigrating had already used this method.

Not only had it proven highly effective...

It had even produced a program called Tan Tan Traffic.

Some of its memes, such as Erxian Bridge and Waist-Horse Unity, were still widely talked about.

Besides, the Naruto World was hardly some primitive civilization.

Computers, monitors, and the like were all readily available.

The idea of Video Law Enforcement could absolutely be implemented!

Yet in Shisui's eyes, who did not know the truth, Kaze was undoubtedly a genius for proposing such an unprecedented plan!

"Shisui, you're one of the rare intelligent people in the Uchiha Clan. I never thought I could fool you with just a few words."

Kaze spoke slowly, his gaze sincere and his tone frank.

"I think the Security Force's reputation has become this bad because someone has deliberately been stirring things up, provoking Konoha's villagers into hostility toward the Uchiha Clan."

The moment Kaze spoke so "openly," a name involuntarily flashed through Shisui's mind.

Danzo.

Although he had always trusted the Third Hokage, he remained wary of Danzo.

"And the Third Hokage chose to tacitly approve of it as well," Kaze voiced his suspicion.

No matter what, the man in the highest position was Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Especially after the Yamato Incident, Hiruzen had openly disbanded Root.

Yet even now, many former Root shinobi still followed Danzo's lead.

Without Hiruzen's tacit approval, could Danzo truly have achieved this much?

"The Third Hokage isn't what you think he is. The one targeting the Uchiha Clan is Danzo..."

Shisui instinctively defended him, but even his voice lacked confidence.

That was right.

Although Hiruzen and Danzo were both part of Konoha leadership...

One was the rightful Hokage, while the other was merely the head of a certain department.

"Perhaps the Third Hokage has his own difficulties as well."

"Who knows?" Kaze watched the changes in Shisui's expression and did not continue arguing with him.

"But I don't think this is the problem of any one person."

"The conflict between the Uchiha and the village had its seeds planted during the Second Hokage's administration."

"Yet whether it was the current Third Hokage, Danzo, or Konoha's two Elders..."

"They inherited only the Second Hokage's vigilance and wariness toward us, suppressing us at every turn."

"But they never learned the Second Hokage's magnanimity in accepting the Uchiha."

Although the Second Hokage, Tobirama, had also been vigilant toward the Uchiha at every turn...

It was not because he held any prejudice against them, but because he did not want the village they had struggled to establish to head toward destruction.

That was why he accepted the Uchiha, taking Kagami Uchiha as his disciple.

He made him a member of the Hokage Guard Platoon.

But after Tobirama died, Kagami Uchiha too passed away in his prime not long afterward.

That was somewhat thought-provoking.

And from that time onward...

None of Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciples had been Uchiha.

At most, he had coaxed Shisui and Itachi into joining the Anbu.

There were no Uchiha in Root, which Danzo had established, either.

"Shisui, I don't know what you truly think, but Konoha leadership cannot escape responsibility for the Uchiha Clan's development into its current state."

"One could even say that it was precisely because of their narrow-mindedness that the Hawk Faction emerged within the clan."

"Kaze!" Shisui's brows instantly knitted together. He had thought Kaze wanted to have a heartfelt discussion with him and resolve the rift between the Uchiha and the village.

He had never expected Kaze to point the spearhead of the issue at the Third Hokage!

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Could it be that, like those in the Hawk Faction, you've also entertained thoughts of a coup?"

"If so, then I can tell you clearly right now."

"The Anbu trained by the Third Hokage, as well as Lord Danzo's Root, are absolutely stronger overall than we are."

"Even the other Great Clans in the village will stand on the Third Hokage's side."

"When that time comes, only a dead end will await us."

Shisui spoke with conviction.

In his view, a coup had absolutely no chance of succeeding.

"A coup? How many people truly wanted something like that? Even the Hawk Faction within the clan didn't actually want to fight their own people to the death."

Kaze paused slightly. "But the question is, must our clan continue enduring humiliation like this, living in misery?"

"Must we let the village children spit on us?"

"And the Nine-Tails Incident—you and I both know full well that it wasn't done by our people."

"Yet not even the Third Hokage cleared our name."

"Instead, he accepted Danzo's claims and drove us out of the village center."

"These baseless accusations instead caused the other shinobi in the village to view us through Colored Glasses."

"What did we do wrong? Why should we bear all of this?"

Kaze's words immediately left Shisui speechless.

Yes.

Although Shisui had been indoctrinated by the Will of Fire and was a steadfast man of Konoha, he was not an idiot.

The Third Hokage truly had not acted proactively during the Nine-Tails Incident.

"But the Third Hokage has always wanted to change all this..."

After remaining silent for a long while, that was all Shisui could say.

"And when will the change he speaks of finally be realized?"

Kaze shot back without a moment's hesitation.

"I even suspect that Konoha leadership's inaction is meant to force us into a coup, so they can suppress us by force and wipe out the entire Uchiha Clan."

"Not even leaving an infant alive."

"Then they can rest easy."

In truth, even until the tragedy of the Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall occurred...

The change Hiruzen Sarutobi had spoken of had never been realized.

Naturally, those words made Shisui's expression change drastically, his face turning pale as paper.

"The Third Hokage would never allow something like that to happen!"

"He isn't that kind of person."

Shisui immediately refuted him.

He could not believe, even in his dreams, that Konoha leadership would directly destroy the entire Uchiha Clan!

That would undoubtedly be an utterly inhumane act!

After all, the Uchiha Clan's ranks did not consist solely of shinobi.

There were also civilians who had not awakened the Sharingan.

How could Hiruzen Sarutobi, who possessed the Will of Fire, possibly allow such a thing to happen?

Besides...

"Even if one day I'm no longer in this world..."

"Itachi will definitely inherit my will and find a way to eliminate the rift between the Uchiha and the village."

"Yeah, if it's Itachi, he definitely won't let your worries become reality."

Shisui drew in a sharp breath, repeatedly speaking up for Konoha leadership.

"Uh..." Watching Shisui become so agitated, Kaze's gaze turned somewhat strange.

Should I just tell him that Itachi is the one who will do it?

But Kaze merely mocked him in his heart and did not spoil the future for Shisui.
