Chapter 166 Did Lin have breakfast today?
Shisui's current impression of Danzo was limited to the rejection of him by the Uchiha clan.
But isn't it normal for the Uchiha to exclude Danzo and speak ill of him? Forget Danzo, how many people in Konoha aren't excluded by the Uchiha? Even he, a member of the Uchiha clan, can't escape it.
Therefore, in Shisui's current view, Danzo and Hiruzen are just high-ranking officials who are working for the continuation of peace in Konoha.
Besides, they and their ancestor Uchiha Kagami were both members of the guards of the Second Hokage, so at least their friendship with each other still existed.
"Danzo-sama, the fact is, the clan leader recently spoke to me and hoped that I could suggest to the Sandaime-sama that the Konoha Guard be abolished."
"Although the Konoha Guard has helped some Uchiha integrate better into the village, they are still a minority. In most cases, the two sides dislike each other, and the people in the village are becoming more and more hostile to Uchiha..."
Shisui's words contained both Fugaku's instructions and his own understanding.
Hiruzen and Danzo exchanged a cryptic glance.
Hiruzen: This kid is being used as a gun by Fugaku.
Danzo: Aren’t you just using him as a gun?
Hiruzen: That's different. Fugaku is just testing you.
Danzo: Aren’t you testing Uchiha Shisui by bringing him into the Anbu?
A moment of eye contact revealed the tacit understanding between the two old friends.
God knows how Danzo could express so many meanings with only one eye left, but Hiruzen understood anyway.
"Ahem...Shisui, the Konoha Guard is an organization established by the Second Hokage. The necessity of its existence is not only for the harmony between Konoha and the Uchiha."
Hiruzen picked up his old pipe and walked to the French window of the Hokage's office. It was obvious that he was going to show his values and attitude.
"Hiss~Hu——" He took a beautiful puff of the opening remarks.
"Although the original intention of establishing the Security Department was to help the Uchiha better integrate into the village, as time went on, the Konoha Security Department made a huge contribution to the defense of Konoha.
Whether it is preventing spies from infiltrating or stopping uncivilized things from happening in the village, the Uchiha's contribution is obvious to all."
Shisui nodded hesitantly. He was young and knew little, so he intuitively felt that what sounded nice was right.
"As for the harmony between the village and the Uchiha clan, it's actually not a big problem. The Uchiha clan is ingrained with pride. Even if there are Uchiha clan members with a gentle mentality like Shisui, they are a minority after all.
The Uchiha are powerful and have the capital to be arrogant. The village can accommodate them. This will also save the Uchiha a lot of trouble, right? "
Starting to smooth things over!
Danzo listened from the side and curled his lips subtly.
How could you, Hiruzen, not know what kind of predicament Uchiha is in now? He is just pretending that Shisui is young and fooling people, or you could say he is playing Tai Chi and pushing back Uchiha Fugaku's temptation.
Fugaku's purpose of sending Shisui to test the Uchiha clan was obvious. The Uchiha clan was becoming increasingly unwelcome in the village, and the Hawk faction among them frequently clamored in the clan to restore the Uchiha clan's former glory.
As the clan leader, Fugaku had to consider the future of Uchiha. People's hearts would change. Fugaku was not sure what Hiruzen's attitude towards Uchiha was now, so he sent Shisui as a middleman to test it first.
If Hiruzen is firm in his attitude, that would be great. Whether it is good or bad can be decided in one sentence. The most feared thing is to be ambiguous and keep Uchiha hanging.
"So, Shisui, the Konoha Guard cannot be abolished. Such an important task still needs to be undertaken by the Uchiha clan. Only a clan as powerful as the Uchiha clan can shoulder such a responsibility. This is not a contribution made by being a part of Konoha."
Hiruzen's words were old but powerful, and although he spoke slowly, Shisui could hear a hint of determination in them.
"I understand Hokage-sama. In that case, I will go and reply to the clan leader."
"Well, go ahead. I understand Fugaku's feelings. After all, as the clan leader, it's inevitable to feel heartbroken when he sees the Uchiha clan unable to integrate well into Konoha. But there is hope only if we persist, right?"
Shisui nodded vigorously. That’s right, only if you persist there is hope!
Danzo curled his lips again. He would get angry at anyone who said Hiruzen's heart wasn't as dark as his. Look at what he said. Is heartache inevitable? Only by persisting can there be hope? Isn't this just pure disgust at Uchiha Fugaku?
The current Uchiha group can be roughly divided into three categories.
The first category is a group of old stubborn people headed by the elders of the Uchiha clan. They firmly believe in the strength of the Uchiha clan, always talk about the glory of the Uchiha clan, and fantasize about restoring the former glory of the Uchiha clan. This category is pure hawks, but these people have been blinded by the strength of Uchiha Madara and have lost their sense of self.
The second category is the new hawks headed by Fugaku.
Fugaku is a smart man, otherwise he would not be in his current position. He actively responds to the so-called Uchiha glory of the elders, but he clearly understands in his heart that the current Uchiha is just strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The seemingly prosperous clan is actually old and can't make any big waves.
What Fugaku seeks is to gain control of the discourse power in Konoha, gradually rise to power, and thereby restore the glory of the Uchiha clan. This is still a relatively radical idea, but it is much better than those clan elders who are not so clear-headed.
The third category is the doves, most of whom are gathered in the Konoha Guard.
This type of Uchiha felt deeply the importance of harmonious Konoha families, but because they were an oppressed minority, they basically secretly contacted good ninjas from the same village but different clans. Once discovered, they would face verbal criticism.
The current leader of the dove faction is actually Uchiha Shisui, but Shisui is a lone commander and he has no idea that there is another Uchiha with the same idea in the Konoha Guard.
Of course, Obito can actually be classified as a dove, but Obito is the most brainless one. He is the Uchiha who has deviated the most from the clan. He cannot feel the filth between the Uchiha and the village. He does his own thing and loves whoever he wants. He only loves Rin.
The village and the Uchiha are fighting? So what happened? Did Lin have breakfast today?
......
Shisui left the Hokage's office and went to report to Fugaku, but Danzo did not leave. He no longer cared about Asahiraz's anger and power struggle.
Fugaku's actions forced him to consider a lot, and Uchiha seemed unable to sit still again.
With Konoha facing major events, Danzo's first thought was not about himself and Hiruzen.
"Hiruzen, what is your opinion of the Uchiha now? Do you want to..."
"Don't talk nonsense, Danzo, the Uchiha are an inseparable part of Konoha."
The fire in Danzo's belly suddenly rose up. You are addicted to fooling Shisui, right? Everyone is gone, and you are still fooling me!
"Hiruzen!"
Hiruzen was like, "That's right! I'm starting to get high!"
"Danzo!"
bang——
