Itachi Realized: I Want to Be Clan Head! (2)
Kurenai first looked at the bandaged Kazuki, then turned to look at the bandaged Shisui.
Mm!
Confirmed!
They were real brothers!
Forget the Uchiha—there was only one pair in all of Konoha who had lost their eyes at the same time.
Looking at the two of them, she always wanted to laugh for some reason.
They should hurry up and put their eyes back in. Otherwise, every time those two showed up together, she would have to hold it in.
"Yo, big brother, you came too!"
Kazuki said with a smile, "How was Itachi talking nonsense? Do you think what I said made no sense? Point out what's wrong, and I'll fix it!"
"Crack!"
Most importantly, he was strong enough!
And he was only forty this year.
Torifu Akimichi of Ino-Shika-Cho was also a seasoned veteran.
Hiruzen Sarutobi would never agree!
Having Uchiha Itachi compete for Hokage was merely meant to make the chaos even worse.
Damn it!
What Kazuki said was exactly what Lord Hokage had always told him.
"Yes!" Itachi's gaze was firm as he said, "I want to be clan head, the Uchiha clan head!"
Kazuki estimated that they had at least seven thousand ninja!
That was only now. Once the original storyline began, their number of ninja would explode even further.
A phrase Kazuki had once said suddenly came to his mind: defeat magic with magic.
As long as those four bastards disagreed, making an Uchiha the Hokage would be no easier than wiping out the Uchiha.
The momentum he had just gathered and his icy expression were all gone.
Not to mention Shisui, whose entire worldview had been shattered by Kazuki's few words.
"Something more important?"
Kazuki looked at the silent Shisui and smiled faintly. "If we cast aside our narrow-minded views and look at things from the perspective of the entire village, wouldn't Itachi becoming Hokage be the best choice?"
Even Kazuki was stunned by those words.
What did any of this have to do with Kazuki?
Whether the Uchiha became Hokage had nothing to do with him either.
Shikaku Nara was qualified as well!
The main reason was that Shisui did not trust Kazuki. He had been keeping an eye on that side, and the moment he discovered the barrier, he rushed in.
Kazuki had used Lord Hokage's own words to refute him.
Kazuki sent the table in front of him flying with a kick.
Didn't he know how dangerous he was right now?
With no other choice, he secretly followed Kazuki to protect him. That was why he had also heard what Kazuki said to Itachi.
Shimura Danzō would never agree!
Overall, the Uchiha were fairly satisfied with him.
At the time, he had not understood what those words meant.
The enormous roar made Shisui shudder.
However, as the heads of great ninja clans, they could never become Hokage.
His expression turned solemn. Clenching his fist, he declared indignantly, "Konoha is my home. Everyone must cherish it."
Itachi suddenly spoke. "Brother Kazuki, Brother Shisui, I understand now."
Such an intense battle had taken place in the hospital room, and he lived next door. How could he possibly not know?
Because neither Jiraiya nor Tsunade had a clan behind them.
After the Uchiha, the foremost ninja clan, rose to power, would they touch the interests of those four clans?
Besides, anyone with eyes could see Konoha's Four Divine Beasts suppressing the Uchiha.
They would not touch the interests in other people's hands.
Kazuki looked at Itachi approvingly. "Good boy, remember this: as long as the Uchiha produce one Hokage, every problem will be resolved with ease!"
The more chaotic things became, the easier it would be to carry out his plan!
"Become Hokage?" Itachi smiled slightly. "That's for the future. Right now, I have something more important to do."
Now, he had realized it.
Other than them, was there really no one suitable to be Hokage?
How could that be possible!
"Y-you..."
"Alright, I understand!"
Kazuki cleared up his confusion. He could think of it as using ninjutsu to defeat ninjutsu.
No, to be precise, none of them had even reached their fortieth birthday yet. They were all just over thirty-nine.
Shisui's jaw dropped.
The Sarutobi Clan was an even more elite powerhouse, with Three Thousand Sarutobi Army members in the clan!
What would they eat?
What would they drink?
What about cultivation resources?
Kazuki suddenly let out a loud roar.
He could not object. Otherwise, he would be opposing Lord Hokage!
Shisui was in turmoil.
"Protecting Konoha is everyone's responsibility!"
"So..." Kazuki raised one finger. "Both we and the Will of Fire need Itachi to become Hokage. Whoever stands in the way is betraying Konoha."
"It's good that you understand!"
"The Hokage is everyone's Hokage, not the Hokage of one person or one clan. Don't narrow your vision to a single clan. We are first and foremost Konoha ninja. Shisui, has Lord Hokage never told you such things? Do you even understand what the Will of Fire is?"
How had things turned out like this?
He was somewhat lost.
The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and the Sixth Hokage, Hatake Kakashi, were the same.
Those four ninja clans had originally been small clans. After Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others rose to power, they gradually developed into Konoha's great clans.
Shisui's lips trembled. "I... I..."
Although he had achieved nothing extraordinary during his tenure, he had never made any mistakes either.
After the Uchiha became Hokage, would they seek revenge?
The Root ninja had been too careless. When setting up the barrier, they had actually trapped him inside as well.
He had been forced into a corner.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu would not agree either.
Shisui glared at him.
"Bang!"
"Lord Hokage also said that when Itachi was seven, he could already view problems from a Hokage's perspective. Wasn't that recognition of him?"
After comparing their strengths, he was shocked to discover that, without him noticing, his younger brother had already surpassed him.
What had Itachi just said?
Had he misheard?
The current Uchiha clan head was Itachi's father, Uchiha Fugaku.
Therefore, those four clans were the first obstacle standing in the way of the Uchiha becoming Hokage.
The Will of Fire could be interpreted like this too?
Konoha's resources had practically been divided up already. There was no room for any ninja clan to take another step forward!
That was why, in the original story, after the Third Hokage died, the two Mitokado elder advisers wanted to push Jiraiya into the position. Tsunade eventually took it instead.
Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, and Mitokado.
"Wrong!"
"Looking at it comprehensively, could you still say Itachi was an ordinary ninja?"
He added two words in his heart: my ass!
It was absolutely impossible for the Uchiha to produce a Hokage.
Besides.
Unless he used Susanoo!
While Shisui was pondering this, the battle ended, and Kazuki actually wanted to go back to sleep?
Unlike the dazed Itachi, Shisui felt his scalp tingle as he listened.
He had his own plan, which he was carrying out step by step.
Kazuki was shaking their beliefs, even their faith!
"Kazuki, don't talk nonsense. Lord Hokage has his own considerations. We are merely ordinary ninja. We do not understand Lord Hokage's thoughts, nor do we need to. We only need to obey orders."
Shisui was dumbfounded.
"Hmm?"
At the very least, when facing twelve Root ninja, he would most likely suffer severe injuries or even be killed by them.
Watching the fight, he had wanted to intervene several times, but Kazuki's strength had shocked him.
That man had been clan head for quite some time.
For a ninja, he was in his prime.
He would not dare say for much longer, but working another five or six years would be effortless.
For Itachi to say that now—was he trying to rebel against his own father?
