Shisui: The Uchiha Are So Contradictory!

Morning, the Police Force.

"Captain, I heard that a new Kekkei Genkai family has arrived outside the village, and the Anbu are getting along very well with them, treating them very well."

The Yashiro Uchiha's tone was filled with worry.

Fugaku Uchiha remained silent.

He wasn't unaware of the situation; it was just that the demands of the people made it difficult for him to make a decision.

Fugaku Uchiha sighed softly.

"Yashiro Uchiha, I understand what you mean, but what can we do now?"

"But we can't just do nothing, can we?"

Yashiro Uchiha whispered.

Fugaku gently shook his head.

The Uchiha is strong, but Konoha is even stronger. Now, the problem he faces is that the people of Konoha don't trust them, which leaves Fugaku Uchiha with no outlet for his power.

He knew it very well.

Leaving Konoha would be a certain death sentence.

"I've inquired about the new family; they're not a major clan worth paying attention to. Their Kekkei Genkai has serious problems, so there's no need to worry. But we shouldn't get too close to them in the near future to avoid causing conflict."

Fugaku Uchiha said in a low voice, "Go and assign tasks."

"Yes."

Yashiro Uchiha sighed helplessly.

Then, he summoned his subordinates and began assigning tasks.

As a non- Police Force member, Shisui was not required to participate in team missions, so he ran upstream along the river.

Da da da!

He sped along, splashing through the water.

Soon they arrived at a lake.

This place is very close to an abandoned training ground.

Standing by the lake, Shisui Hand Seals with his hands and spat out a fireball from his mouth.

Fire Style: Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!

While he was with the Police Force, he often practiced his spiritual cultivation along this route; usually, no outsiders would come to this place.

But today.

"Not bad speed, and your Great Fireball Shisui Uchiha, right?"

A voice sounded from behind him.

who?

Shisui tensed up, leaped forward in an instant, landed on the water, and looked behind him.

Kyohiko walked out slowly.

Shisui Uchiha was slightly taken aback.

The other person didn't seem to be much older than him, looking to be only about ten years old, but just now, he hadn't sensed the other person's presence at all.

If Kyohiko hadn't spoken up, he wouldn't have known that someone was approaching from not far behind him.

The Forehead Protector, however, is from Konoha.

but...

The possibility of espionage cannot be ruled out.

Shisui remained vigilant, slowly backing away. "Who are you?"

"Don't be nervous, my name is Kyohiko Yoshimine, I don't know if you've heard of me before."

"Kyohiko Yoshimine?"

Shisui Uchiha was slightly taken aback.

Of course I've heard of it!

Today's younger generation in Konoha may not know the achievements of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō, but they definitely know the contributions of Kyohiko.

To put it bluntly, he is an idol in the hearts of the younger generation, comparable to Tsunade's status among female ninjas.

Is the person in front of me really him?

Shisui was initially skeptical, but then she cast aside her doubts.

In Konoha, no one dares to impersonate him.

"Greetings, senior."

Shisui Uchiha could not suppress his emotions, and his tone was filled with intense excitement.

Kyohiko smiled faintly, "Don't be too surprised, we've actually met before."

Have you seen it before?

The Shisui is shrouded in a blank stare.

Then, he racked his brains, and finally his eyes widened, revealing shock in them.

He recalled the people he had met over a period of time.

If the other party is not lying, then the number of candidates is not large, and the most likely candidate is...

"The Teacher next to the examiner during the Ninja Academy entrance exam?"

"His insight, analytical skills, and memory are all quite good."

Kyohiko's eyes showed admiration.

Even after just a brief meeting, with just a little reminder, he was able to find the corresponding person from his memory—an ability that far surpasses that of his peers.

No wonder he was able to master the Body Flicker Technique, swordsmanship, and Genjutsu at such a young age.

Not simple!

He became even more determined to win the other party over.

Shisui replied with shame, "I just haven't met many outsiders, which is why I was able to find the right person so quickly."

"At your age, few people possess such meticulous thinking. Of course, it's not something extraordinary; talent needs to be developed through effort, otherwise even the greatest talent is wasted."

Kyohiko said with a smile.

Shisui nodded emphatically, completely agreeing.

In front of his opponent, no one in Konoha dared to boast about their talent, and he himself had no reason to be proud of his talent.

but.

"Senior, are you just passing by?"

"I came from over there and took a look at the situation at this training ground."

Kyohiko didn't hide anything, and said with a smile, "I'm considering renovating and reopening this place as a meditation park for the surrounding villagers."

"Really?"

Shisui's youthful face was filled with surprise and delight. "If that's the case, that would be wonderful!"

I'm worried that your family won't agree.

Kyohiko said.

Shisui shook his head and said, "How could that be? This is a good thing for everyone!"

"Then I need to ask you for a favor."

Kyohiko squatted down.

Shisui nodded. "Please give your instructions."

"There's a new clan over there. The fastest route for them to get to Konoha is to cross the forest and training grounds, follow the river to the Police Force, and then enter Konoha. Go and find out what the clan's attitude towards them is."

Kyohiko smiled.

Shisui showed hesitation.

Within the family...

He knew that some things within the family were not suitable to be revealed to outsiders, otherwise it would bring disaster to the family.

in particular--

The person before me holds a high position of power in Konoha and is by no means an ordinary Jonin.

Shisui dared not answer.

Kyohiko smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just want you to hear their attitude. Whether you tell me or not is up to you."

"Okay, then."

Shisui nodded.

He looked up at Kyohiko, then couldn't help but ask, "If I want to see you again, where should I go?"

"Just come here and stick a Kunai in the lake, and I'll know."

Kyohiko said, handing over a Talisman, "I will contact you using my own methods when the time comes."

"Use it?"

"Right."

Kyohiko nodded.

Shisui carefully collected and stored it.

He looked up, about to ask more questions, but was immediately stunned.

Where is Kyohiko Yoshimine now by the lake?

If it weren't for the relatively clear footprints on the grass, he would have thought it was all an illusion.

Body Flicker Technique?

No!

It shouldn't be.

Is it the legendary Space-Time Ninjutsu?

Shisui Uchiha couldn't help but feel envious and longing.

Then he turned around and ran quickly home.

I'm not exercising today.

Voices within the family...

If Kyohiko asked him to gather information and relay it to the other party, Shisui would definitely be wary. However, the other party's attitude seemed more like asking him to listen and think about it, rather than giving him a test to ponder.

Could this be my chance?

Such a thought popped into Shisui's mind.

He ran back to the Police Force.

"Shisui, why didn't you go to exercise today?"

"I'm almost at the Great Fireball stage, I want to practice my swordsmanship a bit more."

Shisui replied.

Inabi couldn't help but scold, "At your age, you can't be greedy. Mastering one skill deeply is the key!"

"Yes, I know."

Shisui nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, I still have to go on patrol. You can practice at your own pace."

The Inabi waved goodbye.

Shisui breathed a sigh of relief, then continued practicing his swordsmanship while listening to the conversations of the tribespeople around him.

This was the best solution he could think of!

A month later, on the lakeshore.

In the past two weeks, Shisui has heard many voices and thought a lot.

At such a young age, after deliberately paying attention to these things, he felt increasingly confused.

In his view, many of his people were filled with inexplicable pride and contradictions, and many things that even he could understand, those people just couldn't grasp.

Despite his doubts, he finally decided to place the Kunai he had previously agreed upon here.

Shisui touched the Talisman he kept close to his body and sighed inwardly.

I hope you can respond to me.

He continued exercising along the same route, but with something on his mind, he found it difficult to concentrate.

This situation also lasted for a month.

"Shisui, are you practicing your sword today?"

"Practice is essential; if you don't practice your swordsmanship for a day, it will become rusty."

Shisui Uchiha responded.

Inabi Uchiha's expression was complicated as she patted him on the shoulder.

"If only I had put in half the effort you did when I was your age."

"What I've done is nothing; Brother Inabi has also worked very hard."

Shisui smiled modestly.

Inabi Uchiha chuckled and waved her hand, "Alright, don't flatter me. I have to deal with the villagers' dispute today, so I can't train with you."

"It's okay, I can practice by myself."

Shisui smiled.

Watching Inabi Uchiha leave, he subconsciously touched his pocket and suddenly found something extra.

A note.

There is only one character on it.

"Come".

He glanced around, then quickly sheathed his sword and left the Police Force.

A short while later, at the lakeside.

The familiar boy stood by the lake, and in front of him, the lake swirled slowly in eddies.

Shisui ran over, his face showing curiosity and shock.

Is this someone practicing Water Style?

Directly control the lake...

That's incredibly aggressive!

Previously, he only had a vague idea of Kyohiko's strength, but seeing this scene, he felt a clear difference in their abilities.

I absolutely cannot do it!

It wasn't just him.

Within the clan, there are probably very few people who can do that.

"Senior."

Shisui was extremely respectful.

"We meet again."

Kyohiko smiled slightly.

He's very busy, so of course he doesn't come to check Tenten. For this kind of thing, all you need to do is have Yamato and the others pass by during their training sessions and keep an eye on things.

These past few days, he's been busy researching acupoints and medical treatments, so he hasn't had a chance to come. What came was just a Wood Clone.

Shisui said shyly, "I didn't want to trouble you and wanted to figure it out myself, but I really can't understand it..."

"Um?"

"These past few days I've been listening to their conversations and hearing their voices, and I've discovered that people in my family..."

Shisui hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should speak.

after all.

This concerns family matters.

After a moment's thought, he carefully chose his words and began, "They crave recognition, yet they are unwilling to interact with others; they are full of contradictions."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Kyohiko couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Even a child can understand it, but many members of the Uchiha cannot.

He laughed for a while, then stopped.

What do you think is the reason?

"I have no idea."

The Shisui shook its head.

If he knew the answer, he wouldn't have been troubled for so many days.

Kyohiko's eyes revealed admiration.

Shisui didn't know the answer, but he patiently pondered it for a month before finally seeking help when he couldn't figure it out. This quality is truly admirable.

He sat on the grass and gestured for Shisui to sit down beside him.

Then, Kyohiko pointed to the location of the Iburi Clan in the distance—

A month later, the existence of the Iburi Clan was known to most of the villagers. The Uchiha Clan's Police Force was close to their territory and naturally knew everything about it.

"Are they rather hostile or prejudiced against the Iburi Clan?"

"..."

Shisui lowered his head and remained silent.

Kyohiko smiled and said, "You don't need to feel embarrassed. In fact, based on my observations and research, many villagers initially harbored hostility towards them as well."

This mentality is often found among the younger members of a family.

after all--

With more families in the village, there's one more competitor.

Why be hostile towards them for no reason?

Shisui was puzzled.

His doubts stemmed from this.

Kyohiko drew a circle and said, "This is a cake breakfast that you like, but you'll need to share some with each child who comes. Would you like that?"

"Maybe not."

After a moment's hesitation, Shisui shook his head.

"You see, this is human nature. In a village, clans can be seen as people, while interests are the cake. Which category do you think the Uchiha belong to?"

Kyohiko answered, and then asked another question.

Shisui, deep in thought.

For the past month, he had been pondering the reasons. Kyohiko's words gave him a sense of clarity, but a layer of fog still shrouded the truth.

What type of people are the Uchiha?

cake...

If we follow the analogy of dividing a cake, then there are only two types of participants: the owner of the cake and the people who divide it.

He thought for a long time, then suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him—he remembered the history passed down within the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha, together with the Senju, built Konoha!

This is a widely circulated history within the Uchiha, which is why the Uchiha gained the authority of the Police Force.

"I think I understand."

"Um?"

"Our family members consider ourselves the owners of the cake, not the ones who divide it."

Following Kyohiko's reminder, Shisui immediately understood the mindset of his clansmen.

They felt...

I believe I should be the master of the village; I am not satisfied with my current life.

"That's one of the reasons."

Kyohiko nodded.

Shisui is quick-witted and smarter than many people; he is also easier to teach.

but.

Shisui is not enough.

What he was thinking was--

One of the reasons?

So there are some factors he hadn't considered.

Have you thought of it?

"No."

Shisui shook his head.

"It's okay, take your time. You're still young, you have plenty of time to think and research."

"Come on!"

Kyohiko stood up with a smile.

He was about to leave.

Shisui immediately called out to stop him, paused for a second, and then asked, "Senior, can I still use the old method to find you?"

"Of course, I'll come whenever I have time."

The next moment, he disappeared.

Shisui Uchiha sat by the lake.

He discovered a reason, but had no solution in mind, and according to Kyohiko's description, there seemed to be other reasons for the Uchiha's situation.

Shisui is now even more confused.
