"I think we should ask the Third Hokage to give the police force the right to take the initiative, and no longer be limited to maintaining public order within the village. We can fight the enemy on our own and let those people from other villages know how powerful our Uchiha clan is!" Uchiha Shengqing stated the purpose of convening a clan meeting.
He was not satisfied with the existing power of the police force and believed that the Uchiha deserved greater power.
Uchiha Shengqing thought his idea was very good. By then, Konoha would eliminate the enemy, and the Uchiha clan would gain fame and fortune, and everyone would benefit.
Uchiha Fugaku's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect Uchiha Shengqing to be so crazy.
What is the concept of the right to take the initiative to attack? It is equivalent to the police department being able to gather people and form troops to wage war at any time. Even if Uchiha Fugaku used his feet to persuade Sarutobi Hiruzen, even he would not agree. This is a right that only the Hokage has.
"I support Elder Sheng Qing's proposal. It makes so much sense. Our Uchiha clan is so powerful. It would be a waste of our talents if we were only responsible for the security of Konoha Village." An Uchiha senior ninja immediately expressed his opinion.
"I also think what Elder Sheng Qing said makes sense. The more enemies we Uchiha kill, the safer Konoha will be, and it will also protect Konoha's law and order."
"In addition to the right to take the initiative, the police department should have greater autonomy and be able to add positions freely." Some Uchiha ninjas even felt that they could ask for more.
"I support it. War can train ninjas and help improve their strength." Uchiha Inahib also chose to support Uchiha Shengqing.
Although he did not hate working in the Police Department, Uchiha Inahiri felt that it was too comfortable as he had the right to attack independently and could leave the village to fight at any time.
"The hawkish forces in the clan are rising again." Uchiha Nobuhiro sighed imperceptibly.
Ever since the failure of Uchiha Setsuna's coup, the Uchiha hawkish faction suffered a major blow, and most of its core members were captured and imprisoned by Senju Tobirama.
Uchiha Nobuhiro originally thought that it would take at least a few decades for the hawkish faction to recover, but he did not expect that the hawkish faction would grow stronger again so quickly.
"I object. The Third Hokage will never agree to this proposal. It will only make the Konoha high-level officials more wary of us Uchiha." Shisui stood up and said.
He was only eight years old now, and if he sat on the futon he would be drowned in the crowd. In order to let everyone know that the person speaking was him, Uchiha Shisui, Shisui chose to stand up and speak.
When Uchiha Shengqing heard someone completely deny his proposal, his eyes instantly fixed on looking for someone who opposed him. When he looked again, the person who spoke turned out to be Uchiha Shisui, whom he had just praised. Uchiha Shengqing's face turned a little ugly.
He was just praising Shisui as the pride of the Uchiha clan and the genius of the Uchiha clan, but Shisui completely denied him, which showed no respect for him at all.
"Shisui, you are still young and there are many things you don't understand. At times like this, you should just listen more to your elders." Uchiha Shengqing said, trying his best to maintain a kind expression.
Although he felt that Shisui was ungrateful, Uchiha Shengqing really didn't know what to say to Shisui now.
Because it was Uchiha Shengqing who praised Shisui just now, if he belittled Shisui now, he would be slapping himself in the face, so Uchiha Shengqing had to endure it even if he was unhappy.
However, this time Uchiha Shengqing saw through Shisui. Shisui would not agree with the hawkish ideas. In the future, Uchiha Shengqing would never mention Shisui again. He would choose to support Obito.
Obito seems to be easier to convince. Whenever he takes the initiative to exaggerate Obito's contributions, Obito will correct him. This kid is too straightforward.
"That's right, Shisui, at your age you should read more clan history and listen more." The hawkish Uchiha followed up.
"I don't remember the clan having a rule that young people cannot speak. Although I am only eight years old, I am a jonin just like Elder Sheng Qing." Shisui retorted clearly and emphasized his own ninja level.
Some hawkish Uchiha who were about to criticize Shisui shut up instantly, because many of them were only Chunins, a lower ninja level than Shisui.
Although Uchiha Shengqing said that Shisui was the youngest jonin, Shisui's height and appearance were too deceptive, and it was hard for everyone to imagine that he was a Konoha jonin.
"In the clan meeting, all ninjas can speak freely." Uchiha Fugaku thought for a while and nodded.
Uchiha Fugaku is neither a hawk nor a dove. The clan leader does not say this. He only stands on the side of Uchiha's interests.
Uchiha Shengqing's proposal was too ridiculous. If this suggestion was made to Sarutobi Hiruzen and other Konoha high-level officials, they would only be vigilant and would not produce any real benefits for Uchiha, so Uchiha Fugaku spoke for Shisui.
Uchiha Shengqing glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, then looked at Shisui and said,
"I really can't guarantee that my proposal will be 100% approved, but I think that if it is not approved, it does not mean that our efforts are in vain. We must let the Konoha high-level officials know what our Uchiha clan wants. We Uchiha must be treated in accordance with our strength!"
Shisui secretly thought that this was not good. Uchiha Shengqing was too good at talking. He tied his starting point to the entire Uchiha clan, as if Shisui wanted to destroy the good things of the entire Uchiha clan. He also characterized Sarutobi Hiruzen's refusal as unfair treatment of the Uchiha clan. Even if he really failed, it would not affect Uchiha Shengqing's reputation within the clan.
As Shisui expected, many Uchiha ninjas became excited instantly, and some of the silent Uchiha began to lean towards Uchiha Shengqing.
Shisui's mind raced as he thought about how to refute Uchiha Shengqing and how to prevent this absurd proposal from being aborted.
The history and politics that Shisui learned from Mu Yue finally came in handy. After combining the actual situation of Uchiha, Shisui quickly came up with the answer.
If he wanted to accomplish his idea, there were two key points. The first was to make the Uchiha ninjas realize the impracticability of this proposal. The possibility of failure and the certainty of failure were two different things.
The second is to obtain the identity to compete with Uchiha Shengqing on the same stage, otherwise the first point cannot be carried out.
In order to make the Uchiha realize the impracticability of this proposal, Shisui had to explain it in detail so that even a political idiot could understand that it was impossible.
If he did not have the identity to compete on the same stage with Uchiha Shengqing, the Uchiha would be prejudiced against his words and would think that he was just mindlessly refuting their favorite elder. Uchiha Shengqing could also use sophistry to refute the possible loopholes in his words.
Shisui knew the Uchiha clan too well, and this family was not one that could be explained away with logic.
But it is actually difficult to achieve equal status, because becoming an elder is not something that can be done overnight.
Although Shisui made great contributions in the war, the merits to the village and the merits to the clan are two different things. It is basically impossible for Shisui to become an elder at the age of eight.
But Shisui had a clever idea in mind.
The Uchiha clan has its own sentiments. As long as Shisui defeats Uchiha Shengqing in the battle, even if Uchiha Shengqing is an elder and Shisui is just an eight-year-old child, everyone will think that Shisui and Uchiha Shengqing are equal.
"Should I challenge Uchiha Shengqing directly here? Wouldn't that be a bit too radical?" Shisui hesitated.
Shisui was not worried about not being able to win, he felt that he had a high chance of winning. With a breakthrough in his breathing technique, he was now confident that he could kill one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen alone. There would not be many ninjas of this level even among the Uchiha people. Uchiha Shengqing's hard power was at best similar to his, and the probability of him being stronger than him was very small.
Shisui's confidence actually comes from his huge intelligence advantage.
Uchiha Shengqing would never understand things like the Flame Breathing Chakra Mode and Armament Haki, but Shisui knew all about the Uchiha ninjas.
Shisui was hesitant because if he directly challenged Uchiha Shengqing and won, Uchiha Shengqing would collapse mentally, and he would do everything he could to oppose Shisui, which would eventually affect Shisui's subsequent plans.
In other words, Shisui did not want to expand the internal conflicts of Uchiha any further, he wanted to unify all the power of Uchiha.
Uchiha Nobuhiro was ready to speak out in support of Shisui. He couldn't just sit back and watch the hawkish faction of the Uchiha clan expand.
"The issue of the right to take the initiative to attack is a serious matter. The clan meeting will be suspended and will be held again in a week to discuss it then." At this time Uchiha Fugaku spoke.
Originally, at this time, a dove elder stood up to refute Uchiha Shengqing.
Because Uchiha Shengqing placed himself above the entire Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, as the clan leader, could not stand against the Uchiha clan.
But no matter how Uchiha Fugaku hinted, the dovish elders just showed a helpless expression and said that they were powerless, so Uchiha Fugaku had to use the tactic of procrastination to terminate and delay the clan meeting. As the clan leader, he had the right to do so.
"Clan leader, your opinion is profound. This matter is indeed of great significance to our Uchiha clan. It would be better to think about it for another week. However, even if it is a major matter, it cannot be delayed forever. Indecision is a taboo." Uchiha Shengqing directly agreed to Uchiha Fugaku's proposal.
Uchiha Shengqing's thinking was very clear, he had no way to stop Uchiha Fugaku from exercising his rights.
Unless he could concentrate most of the Uchiha forces to propose the abolition of Uchiha Fugaku's position as clan leader, but this was impossible because Uchiha Fugaku's ability and strength were recognized by everyone.
Instead of talking nonsense, Uchiha Shengqing chose to go along with what Uchiha Fugaku said and then lifted Uchiha Fugaku up, so that Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't be able to play this trick again next week.
Uchiha Fugaku could only nod reluctantly. He thought that he could delay it for another week. Maybe he would come up with a solution during this week.
"Then let's adjourn the meeting." Uchiha Fugaku announced the end of the clan meeting.
The Uchiha clan members came out one after another with their familiar clan members, excitedly discussing the content of this clan meeting.
"Obito, the clan meeting is over, you can go back now." Shisui gently poked Obito, who was daydreaming beside him.
Ever since Obito had a conversation with Uchiha Shengqing, he has been in a daze, and it has continued until now.
"Oh, it's over. Let's go back." Obito came back to his senses, stood up and nodded.
After realizing that Uchiha Shengqing was a boring adult, Obito simply used the mystical technique to immerse himself in his own world, ignoring any comments from the outside world.
"Obito, you go back first. I have something to do here." Shisui shook his head and replied.
Although the clan meeting was suspended, the crisis had not been resolved. He had to find a way to resolve the crisis without exacerbating the conflicts among the Uchiha clan.
"Okay then, I'll go back first. Goodbye Shisui, goodbye Uncle Nobuhiro." Obito nodded and waved goodbye.
Then Shisui looked at Uchiha Nobuhiro, "Uncle, you should go back first, I have something to go somewhere else."
"Well, if you need help, you can come to my house directly." Uchiha Nobuhiro replied.
He also needs to find the dovish Uchiha to discuss the current situation of Uchiha.
Finally, Shisui glanced at Uchiha Fugaku who had not left yet.
Based on Uchiha Fugaku's performance at the clan meeting, Shisui judged that Fugaku was not optimistic about Uchiha Shengqing's proposal, but due to some reasons he did not say more for him afterwards.
"Shisui, is there something wrong with you?" Uchiha Fugaku asked after noticing Shisui's gaze.
After this clan meeting, Uchiha Fugaku admired Uchiha Shisui even more. Although he was young, his thinking ability had surpassed many adult Uchiha. Obito was far behind in this respect.
"No, goodbye Uncle Fugaku." Shisui shook his head and left.
Although Uchiha Fugaku also opposed Uchiha Shengqing, Uchiha Fugaku obviously had no good solution, otherwise there would be no need to delay it for a week.
After leaving Nanga Shrine, Shisui walked straight towards the main city of Konoha and arrived at Mugetsu's house.
Shisui is not alone. Since he can't think of a good solution, he goes to find teacher Mu Yue, whom he trusts.
Zhishui knocked on Mu Yue's door, entered Mu Yue's house, and told Mu Yue about the difficulties he encountered without reservation.
"There is nothing wrong with your general idea." Mu Yue said after listening.
"You mean that I should challenge Elder Sheng Qing within this week and then explain at the clan meeting?" Shisui asked.
Mu Yue shook her head in denial, "Since you don't want to become a mortal enemy with Elder Sheng Qing, then you can't be so direct."
"Doesn't Uchiha Fugaku support you? You can ask Uchiha Fugaku to hold a martial arts competition under the pretext of enhancing the quality of the clan's ninjas. The members who perform well will receive instruction from the elders. And the elder who instructs you 'happens' to be Elder Sheng Qing. Then you can defeat him with a 'slightly better' attitude."
If Shisui really challenged Uchiha Shengqing at the clan meeting and defeated him directly, Mu Yue felt that given the mental state of the Uchiha clan, it was possible that Uchiha Shengqing would go crazy.
After understanding Mu Yue's words, Shisui's eyes suddenly brightened. This way, even if Uchiha Shengqing lost, he would not hate him too much.
After all, all this is just a coincidence. It's just that Shisui is too strong. After losing, Uchiha will not blame the opponent for being too strong, but will only think that his own strength is not enough.
"Don't have too high expectations. It depends on the individual. Some people will still hold a grudge against you no matter what because you embarrassed them." Mu Yue reminded.
No matter how tactful he tried, as long as Shisui defeated Uchiha Shengqing, in public, humiliation was inevitable.
"Yeah, I see." Shisui nodded, then asked himself a puzzling question.
"I feel that Elder Sheng Qing is very quick-witted. He should know that this thing cannot succeed. Why would he do such a thing?"
Shisui didn't believe that Uchiha Shengqing, with his level of speech, would not understand this matter.
This is not a trivial matter of raising wages and benefits; it involves certain core rights.
"Sometimes things that are bad for the group may not necessarily be bad for him." Mu Yue said earnestly.
"You may think this incident is serious and will cause the Konoha high-level officials to be wary of the Uchiha, but from Uchiha Shengqing's perspective, the Uchiha high-level officials are already wary of them, so what's the harm in being a little more vigilant? As long as there is no coup, the Konoha high-level officials will not do anything to the Uchiha."
"On the other hand, after being rejected by Konoha, Uchiha Shengqing can further arouse the emotions of the Uchiha ninjas and expand the power of the Hawks. This is a beneficial and harmless thing for him."
Shisui remained silent, he found that he had underestimated Uchiha Shengqing, he still lacked a lot of experience in all aspects.
"Luckily we have Teacher Mu Yue." Shisui was thankful. If he had done things according to his own ideas, it would probably end up in a mess.
