Ch. 41I Am the Uchiha Clan's Mastermind!
Uchiha Hikari challenged Sarutobi Hiruzen’s claims about the Uchiha and demanded greater integration between the clan and Konoha. She left the meeting seeking to build Uchiha alliances, aware that Obito and Black Zetsu still threatened the clan’s survival.
- Sarutobi Hiruzen argued that the Uchiha’s intense emotions and Sharingan made them vulnerable to hatred and darkness.
- Uchiha Hikari challenged Hiruzen by citing Orochimaru and Shimura Danzō as proof that non-Uchiha could also go astray, and condemned his defense of Danzō.
- Hiruzen proposed cautiously reviewing the Uchiha’s requests for more Military Police Force positions and jurisdiction and greater access to Anbu.
- Hikari demanded that Uchiha be allowed to serve as team-leading Jonin and Ninja Academy teachers and leave the village for missions, while other clans could join the Military Police Force under a three-party review.
- Hikari decided to become involved in Uchiha affairs because the clan remained threatened by Obito and Black Zetsu.
