Uchiha Shisui was somewhat uncertain.
He did not quite understand what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant.
A Clan Head was actually the same as the Hokage? He should go see him whenever there was nothing to do? His potential? Konoha's future needed his guidance?
"You think I can become Hokage?" His expression was somewhat strange.
I even needed Jinghuo Uchiha to explain your scheme to move the Uchiha back to the clan land.
And you actually think someone like me can become Hokage?
Are you trying to PUA me again?
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's smiling face, Uchiha Shisui rudely felt like spitting in his face.
Sarutobi Hiruzen left, while Uchiha Shisui returned to his home at the center of the clan land.
There, Uchiha Itachi had already been waiting for a long time. He was sitting cross-legged, holding a teacup in both hands and savoring the tea.
When he saw Shisui return, he smiled faintly and asked, "How did it go?"
Uchiha Shisui shook his head slightly. As he sat down, he sighed. "He saw through me. My acting wasn't good enough."
"Then don't make direct contact with him," Uchiha Itachi stated his approach.
"Sooner or later, I'll have to deal with him. I can't choose to hide just because I see a giant," Uchiha Shisui sighed.
When it came to political maneuvering, the Uchiha were truly far too lacking.
"Mm." Uchiha Itachi strongly agreed.
But he was not avoiding Sarutobi Hiruzen simply because he could not outplay him.
Recently, he had been studying history. By constantly reflecting on the question, "What was his purpose in doing this?" he realized that he had improved considerably.
It was simply difficult for him to trust human hearts anymore.
But for the world of his dreams, he believed such sacrifices were entirely worthwhile.
