You Say No, but Your Body Says Otherwise!

So, just like Uchiha Sasuke in the original timeline, Hatake Kakashi was a walking Hatake Clan. The matter between him and the Uchiha Clan was a matter between ninja clans. If they couldn't reach an agreement in private, they would have to go to a meeting.

Similarly, Senju Muzoku give his Chakra to someone, the only ones with the right to question this would be Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama, the two former heads of the Senju Clan.

The only angle for questioning is that Chakra can transmit the Ninjutsu of the Senju Clan.

However, these two bigwigs clearly did not object.

Everyone present was well-versed in the rules of the ninja village, and aside from being curious about how Uchiha Shingen had managed it, they had no other thoughts.

Uchiha Shingen truly shattered their understanding once again.

Which of these Impure World Reincarnation figures wouldn't want to latch onto them and learn something from them?

"Shingen, you're the one being handed over. Do you have any objections?"

He objects! It's too evil! He doesn't want it!

At that moment, many people were internally screaming, hoping that Uchiha Shingen would say that.

It's so sour it'll kill them!

"I have it." Uchiha Shingen nodded with a serious expression.

Everyone in the room was stunned, their gazes varying.

For example, Uchiha Fugaku's gaze was like, "Did you eat the wrong goji berries today?"

Senju Tobirama felt that his bratty younger brother, who seemed itchy to do nothing all day, was up to something again, so he quickly said, "This won't do you any harm."

He could roughly guess that Uchiha Shingen dared not use many of the Ninjutsu he used before his reincarnation. Even now, when he was at this level, it didn't matter whether he used many of the Ninjutsu or not, but having this reputation was better than having none at all.

"Second, I know, I just wanted to say..." Uchiha Shingen's expression became even more serious, "Give me more, I can handle it."

Senju Tobirama: "..."

Uchiha Shisui tugged at Uchiha Shingen's sleeve, signaling him to be serious.

Uchiha Shingen could only say that this guy didn't know how to hold a meeting.

Do you see, is the second child angry?

At their level, they were only allowed to say three things in meetings, but Uchiha Shisui often said none of them.

Senju Tobirama wasn't actually angry; he thought Uchiha Shingen's statement was quite appropriate.

My younger brother has really matured.

Damn it, he's feeling increasingly empty inside!

The aftereffects of the Impure World Reincarnation are getting more and more serious!

"Alright, Fourth Hokage, you can now move on to the next topic. We've finished what we needed to say," said Senju Tobirama, handing the reins back to Namikaze Minato.

"Well, this matter doesn't require a vote. Since Shingen has no objections, then it's settled." Namikaze Minato said dryly, while he couldn't help but keep glancing at Uchiha Shingen and the three Senju Clan brothers.

The Senju brothers' approach was similar to how Senju Clan Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama taught Sarutobi Hiruzen together.

It was practically a blatant declaration. "This kid's got potential; he should be Hokage."

But...

Namikaze Minato looked at Uchiha Shingen and confirmed one thing.

As is often the case with those closest to the light, Uchiha Shingen hadn't even realized what was happening, and it was unclear what had distracted him.

If Uchiha Shingen were to succeed as the Fifth Hokage, he really wouldn't object.

After all, as Hokage, he has achieved all the visions he wanted to realize back then, and he is already very satisfied. He is willing to step down to someone younger and more energetic.

He really wanted to see what the aspirations of young people were like.

And then again...

As long as he remains Hokage, there's no hope of a third child.

Shingen becoming Hokage? Upon closer examination, this is actually a very good idea and could perfectly solve many of the current difficulties.

It's more of a difficulty than a problem, but if the difficulties remain unresolved, they could very well become problems in the future.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Hidden Leaf Village declined from its peak, largely because as time went by, some of its past difficulties became problems, which then erupted under the influence of the war.

Fortunately, after the Hokage Building and the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan took the initiative to resolve their conflicts, they worked together to turn the situation around.

Therefore, Uchiha Shingen really needs to become Hokage. He can't just become Hokage's assistant; that would be meaningless and would only lead to more difficulties.

Namikaze Minato quickly sorted out the various relationships in his mind and decided to go back that night to discuss it with his wife.

Although the Uzumaki Clan is not very powerful, it is still a significant bellwether. As the current Hokage couple, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina's intentions have a strong influence on non-ninja clans.

That's fine. The decline of the Sarutobi Group is inevitable. Rather than letting those old folks cling to unrealistic fantasies, it's better to take advantage of his current position as Hokage and push things forward in a more peaceful way.

A shift in power can also be benign.

Unlike the Uchiha Clan - Hyuga Clan Alliance and the Ino-Shika-Cho Alliance, which are legitimate forces arising from the need for clan survival and complementarity, the Sarutobi Group and the Police Force Group are distorted interest groups created by political maneuvering.

The main activities of these two groups are completely exclusive, do not follow the principle of win-win, and run counter to the Will of Fire. When the game between the two groups intensifies, it will turn into opposing each other for the sake of opposing each other.

Namikaze Minato has been trying to prevent the two sides from reaching that stage for years.

The same applies to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although he was the leader of the Sarutobi Group, he was ultimately different from those people. He initially established the group in order to unite all the forces in the village to resist external pressure. This was the foundation of Leaf Village's organizational strength that enabled it to fight against all four major villages during the Third Shinobi World War.

But what goes up must come down. From that point on, the Sarutobi Group became more of a hindrance than a help. It could no longer unite the village and instead became its dark side.

When the oppressor is an individual, the darkness of the village will alienate these people, but if the oppressor is a ninja clan, they will take up arms and fight back against the darkness.

Thus, the Police Force Group was formed, and they used Sarutobi Clan's methods to fight against the Sarutobi Clan.

Once the Sarutobi Group, which is forcibly maintaining its expansion, is no longer there, the Police Force Group formed to oppose Sarutobi Clan will also disintegrate, which will be beneficial to the overall development of Leaf Village.

Namikaze Minato composed himself, looked at the agenda, and read out the next item.

"The third agenda item... well, it's a proposal initiated by *** regarding the establishment of overseas experimental courses." He finished reading, clapped his hands, and said, "Then we'll take a 5-minute break. Except for the regular attendees, those who don't have agenda items left can go take care of their own business... Please invite ***'s colleagues from the break room who will be on the next agenda item to come in."

He said the last sentence to the ninja in charge of the meeting.

Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Shisui stood up again, this time without being stopped.

They walked out of the conference room feeling completely unscathed.

As agreed upon at this meeting, the Uchiha Clan and Hatake Kakashi will communicate again over the next three days. If no agreement is reached, a special meeting will be held three days later to clarify that the dispute will be resolved through a contest.

Uchiha Shingen has decided to go find Uchiha Itachi.

For Hatake Kakashi, this wasn't a transaction; it was a matter of his beliefs.

He never coveted the Mangekyō Sharingan; its value lay in the fact that it was Obito, and it came with a will.

Even if Uchiha Obito had just given him a Dango cow dung, he would have kept it for life.

Uchiha Shingen didn't dislike people like Hatake Kakashi at all.

The Uchiha Clan also held Uchiha Clan Hatake Kakashi in high esteem. Even though he regained his eyes through a duel, the Uchiha Clan would compensate Hatake Kakashi to the greatest extent possible.

Whether he wants it or not, and whether the compensation is adequate or not, it's up to the Uchiha Clan to decide if it's adequate.

Hatake Kakashi will experience the bittersweet feeling of being bothered by a group of obsessive-compulsive individuals from morning till night.

At the conference room door, Uchiha Shingen, Uchiha Shisui, and Hatake Kakashi, who had left together, bumped into each other.

"Lord Shingen, Lord Shisui," Hatake Kakashi said politely.

"Kakashi, don't take it to heart," Uchiha Shingen greeted him with a smile. "You know, some things are hard to reconcile, and there's nothing we can do about it."

"Lord Shingen, I understand." Hatake Kakashi nodded; he truly understood the Uchiha Clan completely.

He was already very grateful that the Uchiha Clan was only now proposing to take it back.

"Although I know the chances are slim, let's still meet up and discuss it," Uchiha Shingen said. "We're all acquaintances now, so I'll book a table for you. Remember to come! Oh, and let's invite Guy too. He's a really good friend."

"Okay." Hatake Kakashi accepted the offer without hesitation.

There was a hint of amusement in his voice when he spoke of Kai.

Actually, Kai and he are secret book lovers, but many people don't know that Kai also reads "Icha Icha Paradise"—he was the one who got him hooked.

After bidding a friendly farewell to Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Shisui, Hatake Kakashi quickly left the Hokage Building.

Time is tight, so he needs to train hard these next few days to get himself into top condition, think about what tactics to use, and prepare multiple plans in case of emergency.

He was also wondering who his opponent would be.

If it weren't for Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Shisui, he believed his opponent would be Uchiha Itachi. As a fellow Jonin Council member, he had a deep impression of Uchiha Itachi; he was a formidable character.

In this timeline, they no longer share their experiences in the ANBU, but they have Jonin Council.

In Hatake Kakashi's memory, Uchiha Itachi was a cheerful and energetic young man who always had a smile on his face.

If we ignore the fact that he likes to talk about sacrifice in his daily conversations, then this is how it is.

The spirit of sacrifice of others refers to self-sacrifice.

But Uchiha Itachi not only sacrificed himself, he also sacrificed himself on behalf of others.

He would not hesitate to sacrifice anyone, including himself, if he believed it was right.

Hatake Kakashi thought this couldn't be called a spirit of sacrifice; it should be called a spirit of ritual.

If his opponent is this guy, then he really needs to be careful.

Regardless of his intelligence, this guy is undeniably incredibly strong.

What if this guy gets possessed by a priest halfway through the fight? Where would he run to?

Although he wears a mask Tenten and acts aloof, he actually squints and chuckles when watching "Icha Icha Paradise." He's a normal person after all! He has normal human emotions and desires! He finds people like Uchiha Itachi terrifying!

Thinking of Uchiha Itachi's seemingly harmless face, Hatake Kakashi shuddered.

The fact that someone could raise a son like that makes even Hokage's assistance terrifying!

Father is absolutely right. Boys must take good care of themselves when they are out in the world!

He quickened his pace.

Behind him, Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Shisui, who had just come out of the Hokage Building, saw his retreating figure as if he were fleeing for his life.

"What's wrong with him? Is he avoiding us?" Uchiha Shisui wondered.

"That shouldn't be the case." Uchiha Shingen was also a little confused, but ninjas were all a bit crazy, and he was used to it; his family was even more crazy.

There's even someone on the live stream who's still arguing with him.

"Let's go, let's go order food first."

Chapter 44 He says no, but his body says yes!

Adhering to the principle of "do it right away, "Uchiha Shingen first went to the best restaurant on the commercial street and booked a private room.

For this kind of gathering, there doesn't need to be too many participants.

Uchiha Shingen had already planned it out. On the Uchiha Clan side, Uchiha Fugaku was a must-attend, and then he, Shisui, and Itachi would all be included.

Itachi was, after all, the player who was slated to play.

On Kakashi's side, besides himself, were Might Guy and Namikaze Minato.

Might Guy is getting stronger and stronger.

The more stable environment of Leaf Village compared to the original timeline provided him with a better environment for accumulation, which has already shown visible results in this war. For example, in his normal state, Body Flicker Technique speed is second only to Namikaze Minato Might Guy, Uchiha Shingen, and Uchiha Shisui.

If we're just talking about speed, the four of them are in the same tier.

Uchiha Shingen is now considered by some to be the strongest in Leaf Village in this generation. From Uchiha Shingen's own perspective, the person he least wants to fight to the death is Might Guy.

After agreeing on a time with the restaurant, the two finished work and went home.

To be precise, it was Uchiha Shisui returned home.

Uchiha Shingen, on the other hand, headed towards the Hokage Rock.

Walking down to the foot of the Hokage Rock, you can see the four large heads in the distance, as well as the ladders and viewing platforms built for people to get a closer look.

In peacetime, these structures are naturally used for sightseeing, but in wartime they serve as rapid transit routes for evacuating people.

The largest shelter in Hidden Leaf Village is located behind the Hokage Rock.
