Can This Eye See the Future of the Uchiha?

"Can this eye see the future of the Uchiha?"

Shisui's voice echoed through the entire genjutsu space, deeply imprinted on the hearts of the elders.

Although Shisui did not appear, every corner of this space was under his control.

"You've awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, an eight-year-old with the Mangekyō Sharingan..."

At this moment, Kohaku Uchiha looked at Shisui with disbelief, which quickly turned into fervor.

As one of the witnesses to Madara Uchiha's glory, Kohaku Uchiha's reverence for the Mangekyō Sharingan was beyond measure.

"Shisui-kun, your subordinate Kohaku Uchiha pledges loyalty to you."

As an elder, Kohaku Uchiha knelt on one knee towards the Mangekyō in the sky, acknowledging Shisui as his master, right in front of everyone.

This scene caught everyone off guard, yet remarkably, no one voiced any objection.

With Kohaku Uchiha, the leader of the Hawk Faction, taking the lead, the other Hawk Faction elders present followed suit.

"Your subordinate Yoru Uchiha pledges loyalty to Shisui-kun."

"Your subordinate Fire-Core Uchiha pledges loyalty to Shisui-kun."

"Your subordinate..."

Whether sincere or not, a small half of the Uchiha clan's influence now leaned towards Shisui Uchiha.

The remaining Dove and Neutral Faction elders stood frozen, undecided, until the Mangekyō Sharingan, hanging like a moon above their heads, focused all its attention on them. A pressure from deep within their bloodline made their bodies and souls tremble.

"I, Tenwa Uchiha, am willing to cooperate with Shisui-kun for the future of the Uchiha."

Though under duress, Tenwa Uchiha, the leader of the Dove Faction, did not pledge complete allegiance like the Hawk Faction members. They sought equal cooperation and reserved the right to refuse.

Just as they had treated Madara Uchiha in the past.

Shisui did not mind.

"Remember the promises you've made today."

The immense power of the Mangekyō in the sky projected onto everyone present, as if to pierce their very souls.

"Shisui-kun, I believe you now. You are the future glory of our Uchiha, after Lord Madara."

Kohaku Uchiha was now as devout as he had been defiant before.

He and a group of radical Hawk Faction members gazed with fervent admiration at the crimson eye in the sky, a symbol of power and ill omen, their eyes filled with undisguised awe.

Among them were old-timers like Fire-Core Uchiha, who had followed Madara Uchiha against the Senju Clan.

"I will use this eye to watch your future performance."

As Shisui's voice faded, the Uchiha elders within the genjutsu space found the surrounding space beginning to fracture. Fragments of the scene scattered like broken glass, disappearing, and finally, they returned to the Uchiha Clan Compound.

"Has Shisui's ocular power reached this level already..."

Although Fugaku Uchiha's family was not within Shisui's genjutsu, Fugaku Uchiha, who also possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, could sense the subtle traces.

"I have lost." Returning to reality, Kohaku Uchiha lowered his proud head, but he did not display the same fervor as in Shisui's genjutsu space, as Shisui had instructed him beforehand.

After speaking, Kohaku Uchiha left with a few Hawk Faction elders, which was consistent with his persona.

On the other side, Tenwa Uchiha and a few Dove Faction elders looked at the calm Shisui Uchiha with complex expressions. After a moment of hesitation and struggle, they ultimately said nothing more, effectively accepting the agreement reached with Shisui in the genjutsu space.

As for the remaining Neutral Faction elders, they chose to protect themselves and revealed nothing about what happened in the genjutsu space.

"Clan Head, I have already persuaded Elder Kohaku. He will no longer interfere excessively with your decisions," Shisui said to Fugaku Uchiha.

"Your method of persuasion is very Uchiha," Fugaku smiled at Shisui with relief. He was gratified that among the younger generation of the clan, there was someone like Shisui, the backbone of the Uchiha's future.

After winning over the Hawk Faction, Shisui now possessed the strength to contend with Fugaku Uchiha in both personal power and influence, but he had no intention of doing so.

For a great clan like the Uchiha, with a history spanning centuries, clan rules and orderly succession were the fundamental reasons for their enduring existence.

Seizing power through a coup might yield great authority in the short term, but it would plant the seeds of chaos, which would eventually erupt sooner or later.

Moreover, Fugaku Uchiha was not a person with an extreme desire for power, otherwise, there would not have been so much contention between the Hawk and Dove Factions.

At the same time, Shisui and Fugaku Uchiha had reached a tacit understanding. Fugaku was also a force that Shisui needed to win over.

"Then, the position of Captain of the Konoha Military Police Force will be handed over to Shisui." Since no one objected further, Fugaku immediately fulfilled his promise.

"Brother Shisui, congratulations." Seeing that the matter was settled, Itachi happily ran towards Shisui from his mother's side, a genuine smile on his young face.

"Our Itachi is also very outstanding. When you grow a little older, I will hand this position over to you," Shisui gently stroked the young boy's head, speaking with sincerity.

In Shisui's plan, Itachi possessed both excellent strength and emotional intelligence, and naturally had the attributes of Fugaku Uchiha's successor. Most importantly, Itachi's trust and dependence on Shisui made him the best choice to control the Uchiha clan on Shisui's behalf.

As for Shisui himself, he had more important matters to attend to.

At this point, the extraneous people had already taken their leave. Only the couple, Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha, remained, watching the harmonious and affectionate scene between the two brothers.

A united Uchiha clan would be the nightmare of all enemies in the ninja world.

If possible, Fugaku Uchiha would have liked to hand over the position of Clan Head to Shisui right now.

Even if it was not yet appropriate, he would protect Shisui, just as Shisui treated Itachi.

"Sister Mikoto, Itachi and I haven't eaten all day. I'm hungry." Shisui, who had just been decisive with the elders, was now like a big boy acting spoiled with his older sister. For Shisui, who was only eight years old, this behavior was not out of place.

"It's all your fault, not knowing the children are starving," the mature and beautiful Mikoto Uchiha playfully chided her husband before stepping forward to take Shisui and Itachi's hands.

"Let's go, we're going home. Today the clan received fresh knife fish and plump sea crabs. I'll make you..."

Fugaku Uchiha was left with a wry smile, watching the backs of the two children and one adult in the distance, and quickly hurried after them.

"Mikoto, wait for me, I'm hungry too..."
