Senju Chen actually roughly guessed the purpose of Shisui coming to him, but he still raised his eyebrows and asked.
"How to do it?"
"It's just to take the initiative to eliminate the bandits." Shisui raised his head and looked at Senju Chen, "The patriarch said to the outside world that this is to protect the safety of the villagers. But I always feel..."
"What do you think?"
"I think... doing this will cause more trouble for the Uchiha Clan." Shisui said with a hint of worry, "Lord Danzo has begun to doubt Uchiha Clan. He asked me to keep an eye on all the recent trends in the clan, and also wanted me to find out what the clan leader wants to do."
Senju Chen Put down the teacup.
"So, you came to me to ask me what to do?"
Shisui nodded.
"I don't know what to do." His voice was very low, "I am a member of the Uchiha Clan, but I am also a ninja of Konoha. I don't want to see Uchiha confront the village, and I... I don't want to betray Uchiha Clan either."
Senju Chen looked at Shisui and sighed in his heart.
This boy is still too idealistic.
He wants the best of both worlds, and wants Uchiha and the village to coexist peacefully.
But reality is never that simple.
"Shisui, let Uchiha Clan integrate into the village better, so that the people in the village will no longer be afraid of and reject Uchiha Clan's people. Isn't this what I have told you a long time ago? Now that Uchiha Clan is slowly getting better in this regard, why do you seem more distressed." Senju Chen's tone became serious.
"Actually, last time I learned that you joined Root, I came to you just to talk to you about it, but due to temporary circumstances, I was interrupted."
"Shisui, do you know why Danzo made you stare at the Uchiha Clan?"
Shisui was stunned for a moment.
"Well... because Lord Danzo doubts our Uchiha Clan's changes in the past few years? In fact, this is also what worries me. It is obvious that changes have been made within the clan, but the higher-ups in the village feel that our clan has other agendas."
"No. You are thinking too lightly." Senju Chen shook his head, "I think these are just Shimura Danzō trying to find an excuse to do something to the Uchiha Clan."
Shisui's expression changed.
"Huh? You mean..."
"Yes." Senju Chen nodded, "Danzo, that old guy, never trusts Uchiha Clan. In his eyes, Uchiha Clan is an unstable factor."
"He asked you to stare at the Uchiha Clan, not to understand the situation, but to find evidence."
"As long as you provide him with a little bit of evidence, he will use it as an excuse to attack Uchiha Clan."
Shisui's breathing became rapid.
"No... impossible, I have always been in the root. Except for Danzo-sama asking me to monitor the Uchiha clan, everything the root does is really for the good of the village. I can guarantee this." Shisui felt that Senju Tatsu was being alarmist.
"And what happened to Rin Nohara last time, didn't it prove it? Root has actually been secretly protecting Konoha, but most of them are unknown. When it comes to protecting the village, I trust Lord Danzo."
When Shisui Uchiha mentioned this matter, Senju Chen didn't know how to answer the call, because Senju Chen is still wondering how Danzo discovered the Three-Tails incident in advance. This was not in the original work???
But putting this aside, Senju Chen decided to persuade Shisui Uchiha from another angle.
"Then let's not discuss whether everything Anbu did was really to protect Konoha. First think about the changes Uchiha Clan has made in the past two years. He was friendly to the villagers, actively integrated into the village, and helped the village eliminate rebels. Are these all wrong?"
"I... I think it's right, but Lord Danzo..." Before Shisui Uchiha could finish, he was interrupted by Senju Chen
"Shisui, I know what you want to say. It's Anbu. It's our Lord Danzo who thinks that you Uchiha Clan have ulterior motives for doing this. The purpose behind it is to subvert the existing regime of Konoha, right?"
In fact, Senju Chen doesn't need to tell him, Shisui Uchiha himself already knows why Danzo asked him to monitor Uchiha Clan.
But he felt that neither side had done anything wrong, so he was so entangled in his heart.
He believes that his family will not do anything to subvert the Konoha regime. The changes made so far are just to better integrate into the village and be accepted by the village.
But from Lord Danzo's point of view, he can also understand Anbu's approach.
He was the only one caught in the middle, not knowing how to deal with this matter.
He hopes to find a way to get the best of both worlds so that his family can better integrate into the village and live in peace with everyone, but he also knows that neither party will listen to or care about his ideas and suggestions.
This is where Shisui Uchiha is most troubled. Shisui came to Senju Chen this time with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live doctor.
Because Senju Chen has created too many miracles in front of him, he feels that he can't think of a solution, but maybe Senju Chen can.
"Chen, what do you think I should do now?"
"I think you can go find Brother Minato."
"Go find Lord Hokage?" Senju Chen made a suggestion that surprised Shisui Uchiha.
"Yes, tell Brother Minato truthfully what you think and everything you know. Since you believe Uchiha Clan, you also think Anbu's approach is wrong. If you make a mistake, then why not just ask Brother Minato to be the intermediary to mediate what you think is a meaningless confrontation. You should still trust Brother Minato's character."
"Of course, of course I can trust Lord Hokage, but I am directly under Root now, so I went to Lord Hokage so rashly, then... then..." Shisui didn't know what to say for a while.
"Shisui, you have to know that Root is also Root of Konoha, not Danzo Human Root, just like you said, you are a clansman of the Uchiha Clan, but you are also a ninja of Konoha." Senju Chen said
"As long as it's for the good of the village, even if Root doesn't accept you anymore, for the sake of the village and the whole Uchiha Clan, can't you still bear these grievances?"
Hearing these words, Shisui suddenly raised his head, as if he was suddenly awakened.
Yes, as long as it's for the good of the family and the village, it doesn't matter if you feel a little wronged. As long as you tell Lord Hokage exactly what happened, you can't solve it yourself, but Lord Hokage can definitely do it.
Shisui rarely smiled from the moment he walked in, "Well, thank you Chen, I know what to do."
Seeing Shisui Uchiha leaving, Senju Chen also let out a long breath. In order to pull Shisui away from Root and keep him away from Danzo's old silver coin, Senju Chen had racked his brains just now.
Senju Chen knows that as long as Shisui really does this, he will really not be able to stay at Root any longer. Danzo will not allow anyone to "betray" him, but with our Fourth Minato Namikaze character, we will definitely keep Shisui Uchiha.
So as soon as Shisui and Minato Namikaze meet, it will be a foregone conclusion that Shisui will leave Root.
Hey, Shisui, I am so worried about your future...
