Chapter 212: Grudge

Uchiha Fugaku looked somewhat helpless when Uchiha Shisui expressed his willingness to make efforts for his family and village.

Uchiha Fugaku said disappointedly: "Shisui, it's not that simple. Although the Konoha Defense Force has you and the Yondaime's Anbu, there are also Senba and Danzo's Root ninjas. The situation of our Uchiha clan will be very difficult in the future."

Uchiha Shisui immediately said: "Master Clan Leader, I will never let them mess around!"

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head: "You can't do it, Shisui. Even the Fourth Hokage can't do it. It's impossible to stop Chiba, or Danzo behind Chiba."

Uchiha Shisui frowned.

Uchiha Shisui now firmly trusts Namikaze Minato.

Therefore, Uchiha Shisui also believed that Namikaze Minato could definitely do it.

Uchiha Fugaku told Uchiha Shisui: "Shisui, actually, the Yondaime can't make decisions on many things now. Although the Sandaime has chosen to retire, he is still behind the scenes, and there are also Hokage assisting Shimura Danzo, and senior advisors Mito Kado En and Utatane Koharu.

Apart from the Sandaime who had neither ill will nor good will towards us, the other two advisors were more or less hostile towards us and were wary of us, while Danzo hated us extremely.

Do you know why I am so sure that we Uchiha will have a hard time in the future?"

Uchiha Shisui lowered his head and said: "It's because I'm too immature..."

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and said, "No, that's not the reason. What really makes me so sure is the two powers separated from our Konoha Guard Force.

The first thing is to formulate the rules for the village. I think you should understand how important this authority is. It is very likely that all the rules we made in the past will be invalidated. All of us must abide by the rules made by the Konoha Defense Force, that is, Chiba and Danzo.

Then comes the arrest of ninjas with criminal tendencies. This authority is more troublesome than formulating village regulations, because we will no longer be able to arrest ninjas, we can only arrest civilians who are not ninjas. Only the Konoha Defense Force is qualified to arrest ninjas.

Qianyu will definitely use this rule to target us severely.

You will try to prevent them from doing anything wrong, I believe you, but what if it is within your authority? Can you still interfere with them? "

Uchiha Shisui seemed to want to say something but stopped.

It seems that he really cannot interfere within the scope of his authority.

Uchiha Fugaku continued, "However, it is a good thing that you can become the deputy leader. At least they dare not act recklessly and can only target us within their authority. As long as we restrain the tribesmen and don't cause trouble, it should reduce a lot of trouble.

Shisui, you are very important. The Yondaime trusts you very much. You are the bridge of communication between our Uchiha clan and the Yondaime.

And I have decided to place the future of the Uchiha clan on the Fourth Hokage, so you should observe the Fourth Hokage more and tell me immediately if there is any situation. "

Uchiha Shisui didn't quite understand what Uchiha Fugaku meant.

Uchiha Fugaku explained: "Our Uchiha clan is in a very bad situation. Originally, my father wanted to put all his efforts into the Third Ninja World War and build up his military achievements. In this way, as the biggest contributors to the war, the Konoha high-level officials would not be able to do anything to us, but... he failed.

My father didn't expect that the Konoha high-level officials would be so impatient that they would attack us in the late stage of the war, and the person who did it was Chiyu.

Later, as you know, after I became the patriarch, I began to restrain the tribesmen.

The Fourth Hokage was the first person who truly showed kindness to our Uchiha clan, so I wanted to take a chance on him.

Therefore, I need you to help me observe the Fourth Hokage. After all, the Fourth Hokage has no real power now. Our loyalty will be of great help to him.

But no one knows what arrangements the Fourth Hokage will make for our Uchiha clan after he has completely grasped the real power.

So if I bet wrong, I must stop the loss in time, do you understand, Shisui?"

Uchiha Shisui now understood.

Uchiha Fugaku wanted him to monitor Namikaze Minato's every move.

But... now Uchiha Shisui, to put it bluntly, is also monitoring the Uchiha clan and telling Namikaze Minato what he has learned.

Now they are going to monitor Minato Namikaze instead, what is this?

Seeing that Uchiha Shisui did not answer him immediately, Uchiha Fugaku thought that Uchiha Shisui was unwilling, his eyes were stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Shisui, you must remember that you are a member of the Uchiha clan. You must always remember your identity. Family matters are above everything else!"

Uchiha Shisui looked at Uchiha Fugaku with some disbelief.

In his mind, he was a ninja of Konoha first, and then a member of the Uchiha clan, so Konoha's affairs were above everything else.

Therefore, it was difficult to accept Uchiha Fugaku's statement that family matters were above everything else.

Uchiha Fugaku stared at Uchiha Shisui's eyes with a terrifying look, and asked again: "Do you understand? Shisui!"

Uchiha Shisui lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice: "I understand, clan leader."

When Uchiha Shisui left, Uchiha Fugaku looked deeply at Uchiha Shisui's back.

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly felt that...Uchiha Shisui was not very trustworthy.

...

After Uchiha Fugaku left the room, he happened to see his son Uchiha Itachi walking towards him.

When Uchiha Itachi saw Uchiha Fugaku, he bowed and greeted him, "Father."

Uchiha Fugaku smiled and nodded: "Have you completed today's training?"

"It's done, Father."

"Then go to bed early."

"Father, please go to bed early too."

Uchiha Itachi turned and left, returning to his room.

Uchiha Fugaku was very satisfied with his son, who was a rare genius.

At the age of four, he was very motivated, worked hard, and was wise, rational, and good at thinking.

Uchiha Fugaku had very high expectations for Uchiha Itachi.

But Uchiha Itachi is still too young now.

Uchiha Fugaku sighed, "It would be better if it were a little bigger."

If Uchiha Itachi could be a little older, he would be able to recommend Uchiha Itachi to become the deputy leader of the Konoha Defense Force.

Compared to Uchiha Shisui, of course he trusts his son more.

What's more, Uchiha Shisui's reaction just now has already made Uchiha Fugaku feel resentful towards Uchiha Shisui.

"Ugh..."

Uchiha Fugaku sighed again and returned to his bedroom.

...

Meanwhile in the Water Kingdom.

Uchiha Obito, Pain and Konan have already entered the territory of the Water Country.

Last time, Uchiha Obito told Nagato that he would come to the Hidden Mist Village to find suitable candidates to join the Akatsuki organization.

So the three of them came here.
