Second Battle

Looking at Fugaku's puzzled expression, Danzo sighed.

He stood at the finish line, knowing most of the secrets of the Shinobi World, and even understanding the personalities of many people.

But trying to deduce the path from the ending was somewhat exhausting.

"When the Two-Tails appears on the battlefield, our morale will be affected, while the opponent's will be boosted."

"But if you reveal the power of Susanoo at the first moment and seal the Two-Tails, the situation will be reversed instantly."

Danzo explained with a calm face, but his words made Fugaku fall into deep thought.

"Are you so sure that I can seal the Two-Tails in a short time?" Fugaku asked strangely. Since Madara betrayed the village, almost no one in the Uchiha had awakened the Mangekyo. Why was Danzo so confident?

Danzo said confidently, "The power of Susanoo is stronger than you think. I will have Kakashi cooperate with you to seal the Two-Tails. He also has some understanding of sealing techniques."

His words were very confident, obviously without any doubt that Fugaku could seal the Two-Tails.

This confident appearance unconsciously infected Uchiha Fugaku. Since awakening the Mangekyo, he had not used its abilities much.

On the one hand, it was because it would reduce his eyesight, and on the other hand, it was because he couldn't let others know that another member of the Uchiha had awakened the Mangekyo.

But now, with Shimura Danzo's help, Fugaku no longer cared about exposing this matter.

"Why are you helping me so much?"

After a long silence, Uchiha Fugaku stared at Danzo and asked, "You clearly hated the Uchiha before, and many of your actions were aimed at us."

"Why are you helping us this time? Just because I said a word for you at the meeting back then?"

Uchiha Fugaku finally couldn't help but ask.

Such irrational behavior rarely happened to him, but Danzo put too much pressure on him, not only with his attitude, but even his stance was often unpredictable.

In this war, Danzo changed his previous attitude and wanted to accept the Uchiha Clan on behalf of the village. He thought for a long time, but couldn't find any reason that could make a person change their attitude so quickly.

And Danzo seemed to have known that Fugaku would ask this, and replied with a calm face, "It's because of that one sentence you said for me that I changed my mind."

Danzo had expected Fugaku to ask him, but he didn't expect this guy to be so impatient.

He had thought of his excuses long ago, and thought of all kinds of reasons to wash away the mistakes committed by the original body.

"Just that simple?" Uchiha Fugaku obviously didn't believe it.

If Danzo really changed his view of the Uchiha because he helped him with just one sentence, then Danzo would not be Danzo, and was probably possessed by someone.

"Just that simple."

Danzo nodded and said gently, "Do you know why I was so hostile to the Uchiha before?"

"Why?"

"Because you are uncontrollable, and too emotional, unable to see the situation clearly." Danzo said the reason he had thought of long ago, which he had painstakingly come up with by combining the original work.

Looking at Fugaku's puzzled eyes, Danzo continued to explain, "The Uchiha Clan is like the blood in your body, too uncalm, too emotional."

"You can't see the situation clearly in many things, just like those radical voices in your clan."

Danzo stood up, came to Fugaku's side, pointed to his eyes and said, "Do you know how the Sharingan is awakened and how it evolves?"

Fugaku roughly guessed Danzo's meaning, and replied with a calm face, "Stimulated by strong emotions."

"Yes, it's being stimulated by strong emotions."

Danzo smiled, guiding Fugaku to think according to his rhythm, and said, "Many Uchiha can actually be said to be madmen, especially those so-called geniuses, who are even more madmen among madmen."

"Too emotional, not calm. When stimulated strongly, they awaken the Sharingan, but similarly, they will also make some unexpected decisions."

"For example, disobeying the orders of commanders on the battlefield and acting without authorization, or choosing the clan over the village, or even choosing brothers over clan and friends."

"Too irrational, too selfish, this is my evaluation of most of the Uchiha."

Danzo stretched out his two fists in front of Fugaku.

"As one of the elders of Konoha, all my decisions are for the sake of Konoha. I can even sacrifice my own clan, the Shimura Clan."

"Konoha is the big family, while the clan is the small family. For the sake of Konoha, I can only eliminate the unstable factor of the Uchiha."

Righteous and awe-inspiring, yet leaving Uchiha Fugaku unable to refute.

Because that was the truth.

There were too many people in the clan who had done many, many wrong things because of relationships with friends and relatives, including things that harmed the village and even the clan.

"Because I disregarded the opposition of most of the clan and agreed to your decision, standing on the side of the village, so you think I'm different from others?" Uchiha Fugaku widened his eyes, he didn't expect his momentary appreciation to actually change Danzo's view of the Uchiha.

"Facts prove I was right."

Seeing Fugaku say the words he wanted him to say, Danzo's smile grew even wider, "Not only you, your son, Uchiha Itachi, also has the same qualities as you."

"Able to calmly think out the correct choice, treating Konoha as a true big family."

"Itachi?"

Uchiha Fugaku widened his eyes, could it be that Itachi leaked the clan's information?

"It wasn't Itachi who leaked your clan's information, but Shisui." Danzo saw through his thoughts and said with a smile.

Fugaku: ...

You know again?

"Expression management is a kind of knowledge, and guessing your thoughts is another kind of knowledge." Danzo said with a smile, seemingly seeing through the doubts in his heart.

"There are many kinds of knowledge in this world that no one understands or explores. The only advantage of hiding in the dark is that I have a lot of time."

"This time allows me to delve into many, many kinds of knowledge that people in the Shinobi World don't know."

Nowadays, Danzo could come up with many lies easily. Some things become a habit after doing them for a while.

One lie is used to cover up another, one ring after another.

As for the matter of Uchiha Shisui, Danzo had spent a great deal of effort setting up a scheme, waiting for Shisui to confess to him little by little, and finally brought Shisui under his command.

Fugaku looked at Danzo and nodded with some skepticism.

If what Danzo said was true, then he was undoubtedly a genius, a genius who could live very well even if he abandoned his identity as a ninja.

"Lord Danzo, the Cloud Ninja troops, originally scheduled to arrive in three days, have suddenly sped up their pace and may arrive at the border tomorrow." An urgent voice came from outside the tent.

"Understood."
