The Strongest Genjutsu-Talk no Jutsu!

"Lord Fugaku, my apologies."

Shisui bowed respectfully, then quickly left, seemingly heading in the direction Issei had gone.

"Shisui!" Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed, but Shisui disappeared in front of him in a flash, and he didn't have time to call out to him.

Things are going bad!

Shisui is the most outstanding genius among the new generation of the Uchiha Clan. If Issei is led astray by him, then there will be big trouble.

It seems I'll have to explain the relationship between my family and the village to Shisui later.

Thinking this, Uchiha Fugaku did not immediately go to find Shisui.

He remained steadfast in his belief that the conflict between the Uchiha and the village could be resolved peacefully!

"Issei"

"Uncle."

"Issei, you're back? Have you had dinner yet?"

"We just ate, and it's already dark. Aren't you going to close up shop yet? Do you need my help?"

"No need, this is not something you ninjas should do."

Shiraha walked along the streets of the clan's territory, and the clansmen kept greeting him, which he responded to one by one.

The Uchiha Compound's territory is vast. Excluding clan members with ninja talent, there are hundreds or even thousands of ordinary people. These people can be self-sufficient simply by setting up stalls and shops within the Uchiha Compound.

Most Uchiha civilians were no different from other villagers.

There are too many arrogant people in the Uchiha Clan; there have to be a few like him who are gentle and sunny.

Moreover, this persona is a disguise within Shiraha's area of expertise.

As Shiraha had planned, it would be enough to create some chaos within Konoha.

However, after spending time with them, he felt that many outsiders' impressions of the Uchiha Clan were stereotypical, or even prejudiced and stereotypical.

Pride, arrogance, and unsociability are indeed obvious shortcomings.

However, in this world with extraordinary abilities, the Uchiha Clan has always been the backbone of Konoha in war after war. The Uchiha Clan is extremely brave in the face of external enemies. Although they may look down on the weak, they have never said that any Uchiha has abandoned their teammates on the battlefield, and there is no precedent of Uchiha being cowardly.

Overemphasizing the Uchiha's weaknesses while failing to highlight their achievements is a problem of the Uchiha Clan's Konoha High-Level, not the Uchiha itself.

A true gentleman judges by actions, not intentions; without judging by intentions, no one is a true gentleman.

The Uchiha was indeed ambitious, wanting to gain more political power and coveting the Hokage position. However, they never used any underhanded tactics. Even when they did bad things, they did so openly and honestly. This clan made huge sacrifices for Konoha, but in terms of political status, the Uchiha Clan could only be compared with some mid-level Ninja Clan.

It's important to understand that the combined strength of the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi clans of Konoha is not as great as that of the Uchiha Clan, but in terms of political status Uchiha Clan is actually inferior to the other three clans.

When the fig leaf of the Konoha Military Police Force is finally torn away, it's only a matter of time before a large-scale internal strife erupts in Konoha.

Weak and incompetent leaders are afraid of their subordinates surpassing them, so they can only prove their Yamato and authority by suppressing and ostracizing others.

The political environment of Konoha is not suitable for the Uchiha Clan.

Therefore, Shiraha's idea was to lead the Uchiha to join him, Land of Whirlpools was the ultimate destination for the Uchiha Clan.

Especially after realizing that Uchiha Fugaku, the leader of the traditional dove faction, would eventually lead the Uchiha to its demise, Shiraha felt that he should do so even more.

Although he had only seen the first part of the story and did not know the specific reasons for the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan, based on the current situation, it was highly likely that it was due to Uchiha Fugaku's mismanagement.

The Uchiha Clan Uchiha Clan now reached a new peak. It's hard to imagine what kind of rudimentary tactics could lead them to their doom within just a few years.

With the Uchiha King starting strong, if he were to lead the team, there's no way we could possibly lose!

"Eavesdropping on other people's conversations and then secretly following me, Shisui, you're a bit Taichi from the rumors."

When Shiraha was almost home, he suddenly spoke to the empty alley.

Whoosh!

Shisui flashed and instantly appeared in front of Shiraha, saying somewhat embarrassedly, "Issei-kun, I didn't mean to, it's just..."

"You just overheard my conversation with the clan leader at the beginning, so you couldn't help but listen to the whole thing from beginning to end?" Shiraha said with a half-smile.

"You noticed me from the very beginning? Even Fugaku didn't notice me, how did you..."

Shisui looked surprised, then embarrassed, realizing that Issei had noticed him from the very beginning.

"After I awakened my Sharingan, I gained sensory abilities." Shiraha said this nonsense with a straight face. Anyway, there were already precedents in the Shinobi World for people to gain sensory abilities later in life, so he didn't need to prove anything.

"Speaking of which, even the clan leader with the Mangekyō Sharingan didn't notice you, which means your ability to hide is even stronger," Shiraha continued.

"But you still managed to find out, which means your perception is even stronger." Shisui smiled, then suddenly changed the subject and explained, "Actually, I also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, which is why I wasn't discovered by Fugaku."

"You've awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?!"

Shiraha's expression changed in surprise; this time, he wasn't faking it, but genuinely felt quite taken aback.

"If I remember correctly, you're not even 12 years old yet, right? Do you know what that means?"

"This means that if the clansmen find out, it will drive them crazy!" Shisui said seriously, "Why don't you ask me how I awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"If you want to tell me, you will, of course, you will, won't you?" Shiraha said with a smile. "Speaking of which, this should be the first time we've talked alone, right? Why did you tell me this secret? Aren't you afraid I'll reveal it?"

"My intuition tells me that I can trust you, especially after hearing your conversation with Fugaku. I think you might have a way to resolve the long-standing conflict between the village and the higher-ups."

Shisui looked directly into Shiraha's eyes, her gaze utterly sincere.

Upon hearing this, Shiraha was taken aback, then suddenly smiled and said, "Based on our conversation just now, I think the clan leader has already labeled me as a radical in the clan. He will definitely talk to you later to make sure you are not influenced by me."

Shisui nodded. "Many of your remarks are indeed very radical, but I think they make some sense. I also hope that the Uchiha can reconcile with the village, but conflicts that have remained unresolved for so many years cannot be resolved by the efforts of one or two people."

"No, you're wrong!" Shiraha retorted, "The conflicts within the Uchiha Clan can't be resolved by the efforts of just one or two people!"

"What?"

Shisui looked completely bewildered.

"When the First Hokage was alive, was the Uchiha Clan ostracized and suppressed?" Shiraha asked. "Even if we didn't live in that era, you should have read the clan's records, right? Uchiha Madara Uchiha, who led the Senju and establish Konoha, eventually wanted to lead the Uchiha to leave Konoha, but not a single clan member was willing to leave with him. If the Uchiha had faced the same treatment in Konoha in that era, wouldn't the clan members have wanted to leave?"

"This..." Shisui fell silent, as if that were indeed the case.

"It's precisely because the Uchiha began to be viewed with suspicion from the time of the Second Hokage onwards, and because each subsequent Hokage was weaker than the First, that the village became even more wary of the powerful Uchiha. The real solution would be to replace the Uchiha with a strong and tolerant Hokage, and the village with a decisive and charismatic clan leader. With these two leading the way, the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the village would be resolved!"

Shiraha said with a determined expression.

"?" Shiraha's words left Shisui somewhat confused.

"Whether what I'm saying is right or not, you can see for yourself and experience it for yourself." Shiraha continued, "In order to reward you, the higher-ups have made an exception and decided to arrange for you to be assigned to the Hokage's direct line of command in the Anbu."

Whether the current Third Hokage is as I described, you can see from the results.

"Regarding what I said today, if you don't mention it to the higher-ups, then the fact that you awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan won't have come out of my mouth."

After saying that, without Shisui's response, Shiraha turned and left.

Shiraha didn't intend to persuade Shisui with just a few words.

Because he knew that mere Talk no Jutsu were ineffective; they had to be combined with overwhelming strength and the stark reality before one's eyes to make people see things clearly.

"Issei-kun, he really is different from everyone else." Shisui stared at Shiraha's departing figure, stunned once again.

The Land of Grass, nestled in the mountains and forests.

Although the underground base was no longer a frequent haunt of Obito and the Black and White Zetsu after Madara's death and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path being summoned away by Nagato using the Rinnegan, they would still return here when discussing confidential matters. After all, Madara had set up multiple gatherings here, involving Yin-Yang Release and Six Paths Technique, plus the Mayfly Technique the Black and White Zetsu and White Zetsu. In terms of secrecy alone, it was unparalleled in the Shinobi World.

"Has that old guy finally arrived?"

Obito said calmly. Although he didn't deliberately imitate Madara's tone of voice when no one else was around, once he got used to it, he would never be as loud and boisterous as before, and he always maintained a very calm demeanor.

"Yes, Uchiha Hayato made a promise with Lord Madara long ago, and Lord Madara placed Cursed Seal on his heart, making it absolutely impossible for him to reveal our secret," White Zetsu Original replied with unusual seriousness.

"We've already investigated that Uchiha Chiho." Black Zetsu's deep voice rang out as he explained, "Obito, in some ways, she's quite similar to you. Making her lose two people she values at once will greatly increase her chances of awakening her Sharingan."

"How can you guarantee that she will be of use to us after she awakens her powers, instead of helping Yagami Shiraha?"

Obito countered with a question.

"The harder it is for someone to obtain love, the more they value it, and the hatred they feel when they lose it is unimaginable. Since Uchiha Chiho likes Yagami Shiraha, we can propose conditions that she absolutely cannot refuse. She wants Yagami Shiraha, and we want the Kurama. Our interests are not only not conflicting, but actually aligned. As long as Kushina Uzumaki is gone, Yagami Shiraha will naturally belong to her."

Black Zetsu explained, with an air of profound understanding of human nature.

Upon Obito, Obito fell silent, feeling a pang of sadness, for the situation that Uchiha Chiho was about to face was remarkably similar to his own.

However, Obito thought again that as long as everyone could meet in the dream world, no matter how outrageous the things he did now, everyone would probably understand.

How wonderful it would be to have a peaceful world without war!

"I'll leave this matter to you." Obito nodded. "Have you investigated the situation in the Land of Land of Whirlpools? Why hasn't Yagami Shiraha gone out even once recently?"

"There's nothing we can do. The barrier they set up is very special, especially with Yagami Shiraha personally guarding it. We simply can't infiltrate the Uzumaki Clan grounds's territory. The Perfect Jinchuriki's sensory abilities are too strong, especially since the Kurama is the strongest Tailed Beast. If we're discovered, we might get captured," White Zetsu Original said, shaking his head.

"Where did this Yagami Shiraha come from to develop so many strange and unusual techniques?!" Black Zetsu was very puzzled.

He has survived from the Six Paths period to the present day. He initially fell into a deep sleep, but later began collecting various intelligence from the Warring States Period onwards.

Although he lacked the ability to learn Ninjutsu, he had collected most of the precious secret techniques of various clans, and he was familiar with the Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan.

It is certain that the Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan is now newly developed. Considering Yagami Shiraha's extraordinary research ability, Black Zetsu believes that this person must be taken very seriously, as he is very likely to become one of the variables in the plan.

"Maybe it's related to Orochimaru?" Obito said uncertainly. After all, Orochimaru's reputation for developing Forbidden Technique was even greater than Shiraha's. It was because of his research into Forbidden Technique that Orochimaru lost his position as the Fourth Hokage and was forced to defect.

"In that case, let's not focus our efforts on the Land of Whirlpools for now; Konoha is the key. Although Yagami Shiraha and Kushina Uzumaki are very strong, we have Nagato in our hands. We'll deal with them when he fully utilizes the Rinnegan's power. For now, let Kirigakure harass them and slightly limit the Uzumaki Clan's continued growth."

Obito changed the subject.

Madara used Genjutsu to control the Third Mizukage during his lifetime, which is why Kirigakure launched a fierce attack on Konoha during the Third Shinobi World War.

Now that Obito has strengthened his Genjutsu after Madara's death, he can control the entire Kirigakure through the Third Mizukage and launch an attack on the Land of Whirlpools at any time.

Victory or defeat is not important, as long as the development of the Uzumaki Clan can be limited.

After all, it was people from Kirigakure who died, so Obito didn't care at all.

Moreover, Kirigakure was one of the main culprits behind Rin's death.

"Don't worry, we'll handle this."

Black Zetsu's confident voice rang out: if more Mangekyō Sharingan users could help, then implementing the plan would be easier, since the Mangekyo's ability to counter Tailed Beast was obvious.

P. S.: The neighbors were doing renovations all afternoon, which was honestly annoying, so I didn't update today. Of course, I know you all don't care about the reason. Anyway, I said I'd finish it within two weeks, and I definitely will; there won't be any unexpected issues.
