This Uchiha is too cautious

"The Third Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Shisui immediately turned around and then half-knelt on the ground.

He lowered his head, but as one of the best ninjas of his age, he was clearly aware that there were at least three people in front of him.

These three people are probably the Hokage and his two elder staff, right?

After all, Uchiha Shisui is someone that the Uchiha clan values ​​​​relatively and cultivates seriously.

He still knew more or less who were at the top of Konoha.

"Were you noticed when you came here?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the kid in front of him calmly, he bit his pipe and asked indifferently.

"No, I received the message when the team was gathering." Uchiha Shisui replied with his head lowered.

Uchiha Shisui is also a pretty good genius.

Although he has never really been on the battlefield, even like Uchiha Itachi, he has never seen the world on the battlefield.

But his basic knowledge and theoretical knowledge were very solid, and he knew that the Sandaime Hokage probably wanted to meet him alone.

So naturally he won't attract anyone else's attention.

Moreover, he graduated very early, and his leading ninja was a chuunin.

Therefore, he has more opportunities to come into contact with the Third Hokage and others.

"very good."

The Third Hokage nodded, and then he slowly walked up to Uchiha Shisui, staring down at the boy.

"I think you've heard about Kirigakure Village, right?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Uchiha Shisui nodded.

The affairs of Kirigakure Village are really being discussed throughout Konoha.

Maybe other people will focus on many things, such as the extent of damage to Kirigakure Village.

Or why those who attacked Kirigakure after attacking Konoha.

And who are those members of the Uchiha clan?

But for real Uchiha, they are more concerned about what that guy is.

He actually has the same abilities as the clan leader and Master Qi, and the strength is only possessed by the two of them combined?

Uchiha Kei and Uchiha Fugaku teamed up to control the Nine-Tails. Both members of Konoha and the Uchiha clan knew this.

But the attacker alone could do almost everything that two people could do.

That single-handedly defeated the Fourth Mizukage, then took control of the tailed beasts and wreaked incredible havoc on Kirigakure.

That huge chakra giant was exactly the same as the one used by Uchiha Kei, and it also caused incredible damage!

We must thank Namikaze Minato for deliberately hiding Susanoo's color.

The reports that have been circulated have nothing to do with the color of Susanoo.

Otherwise, I am afraid that as an individual, I would have to think about this kid Uchiha Kei.

Of course, not many people may think of it.

After all, few people know about Susanoo now, and they cannot make a clear judgment on the colors that Susanoo can produce.

Are the colors of this technique the same, or are the colors produced by people using this technique different.

Even the current Uchiha clan cannot possibly know these things.

But one thing can be confirmed, that is, they also know what the potential and ability of the Uchiha clan can reach.

Uchiha Shisui himself had also thought about what level he would have to reach to achieve such terrifying abilities.

Among the entire Uchiha clan, probably only their clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, could do it.

The second most likely person to do all this in the future is Uchiha Kei, the head of the Security Department.

However, Uchiha Shisui didn't know much about these two people.

Especially since Uchiha Kei is only a few years older than him, but he can already use that kind of terrifying ninjutsu.

Moreover, he is still a high-ranking Konoha official and the head of the Security Department. Even if Shisui wanted to know more about him, he really had no place to find out.

The only thing he knows is that this guy is probably very ambitious, and he does things without any scruples.

According to what his teacher and the third elder of the clan said.

The great elder of their clan, Uchiha Shen, and several elders who followed the great elder were all killed by Uchiha Kei.

The raging flames in the back mountain of the Uchiha clan are probably the burial place of the great elders, right?

This kind of guy who dared to attack his own people without leaving any room left Uchiha Shisui shocked and at the same time very scrupulous and worried.

"I'm not worried about telling you that the Nine-Tails incident was indeed man-made, and the person who did it was a member of the Uchiha clan."

The Sandaime Hokage said calmly: "I am not afraid of embarrassment. I failed. I have no ability to fight back. Even my wife died in his hands."

"The Third Hokage." Uchiha Shisui didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only interrupt Sarutobi Hiruzen softly.

Uchiha Shisui was really shocked. He knew that a lot of things happened that day.

He originally thought that the Sandaime Hokage's wife should have died at the hands of Kyuubi.

But now it seems that there are too many things hidden here, and Uchiha Shisui doesn't understand why this kind of thing is not told truthfully.

This is probably because he doesn't understand how big a problem it will cause if this kind of thing is publicized, but it also shows how terrifying that guy is.

"I have a task for you now."

The Sandaime Hokage didn't care what Uchiha Shisui was thinking. He took a deep breath and said with a serious face.

"This task is very difficult for you, but it is very important to Konoha."

"Lord Hokage, I will definitely complete these tasks for Konoha!" Uchiha Shisui lowered his head, his tone extremely serious.

"You don't need to answer so quickly. You need to think about this carefully." The Third Hokage shook his head.

"Because this matter will put you in crisis, and it will make you a traitor in the eyes of the Uchiha clan to some extent. Are you really ready?"

In a crisis?

Becoming what the Uchiha clan calls a traitor?

Uchiha Shisui paused. He really didn't expect that the Sandaime Hokage had arranged such a task for him.

Although I don’t know what this mission is specifically, it doesn’t seem to be a good mission no matter how you think about it.

Uchiha Shisui was a little hesitant now. He really didn't know how to choose.

In his opinion, the Third Hokage is also a qualified Hokage and led Konoha to win the second and third Ninja World War.

No matter how such a wise person looks at it, there should be no problems with his judgment.

Could it be that he felt there was a problem within the Uchiha clan?

It shouldn't be, the Uchiha clan now has a very good relationship with the Fourth Hokage.

He also exerted so much effort in the Nine-Tails Incident. Is there something wrong with the people in the Uchiha clan?

Uchiha Shisui really couldn't understand these things. He just felt that his brain was a little confused.

"Lord Hokage, is there some misunderstanding here?"

After all, Uchiha Shisui is only a kid of about ten years old. There is really a big gap between the level he stands on and what he can understand.

"I don't know if it's a misunderstanding, but for Konoha, I have to do something." The Sandaime Hokage stared at Uchiha Shisui, and then said slowly.

"I am no longer Hokage, but I am still responsible for protecting Konoha.

My current position is Minister of Konoha Roots, maybe you haven't heard of this department.

Because it is buried deep underground, it hides deeper than ANBU, and what it does is even more shady.

The root is also Konoha's most direct and effective sword. It eradicates all threats inside and outside the village with the attitude of "I'd rather kill by mistake than let go".

Root is the invisible guardian of Konoha! "

"The roots." Uchiha Shisui murmured.

He had never thought that under the towering tree of Konoha, there would be such a terrifying, but actually protecting Konoha existence.

It's just that Uchiha Shisui felt a little uncomfortable inside. The sentence "I'd rather kill by mistake than let go" was really hard for Uchiha Shisui to accept.

This is all done to one's own people!

But suddenly, he seemed to think of someone, and that was Uchiha Kei.

This guy seems to be somewhat similar to the so-called root.

Those uncertain factors within the clan, those who hope to overthrow Konoha through force.

Wasn't it just that he was sent to the Pure Land world by Uchiha Kai using the most forceful means?

Uchiha Shisui was a little hesitant. He really didn't know how to choose.

On the one hand, there is the Sandaime Hokage whom he respects in his heart.

This old man who devoted all his energy to Konoha, who still silently dedicated himself to Konoha even after abdicating his position, found himself for the sake of Konoha's safety.

The other party is his own family.

The family that gave birth to and raised his own family, and the family that resisted Kyuubi for Konoha.

Uchiha Shisui suddenly didn't know how to choose.

After all, Uchiha Shisui is not Uchiha Itachi. In his heart, the village and the family are equal existences.

Although in the original work, he cowardly chose to commit suicide and did not want to see the village and family fighting directly with each other.

But this is also a portrayal of his inner struggle.

He really didn't understand why the Sandaime Hokage would say such things to him.

He even didn't understand why he would let himself make such a choice, a choice that, although unspoken, was very likely to become a traitor to Uchiha.

"Please let me know, Hokage-sama." After a long time, Uchiha Shisui seemed to have made some decision, his voice was low and gentle.

"Very well, for Konoha, all of us actually need to make certain sacrifices."

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked slowly to his side, and then said softly: "The Uchiha in Kirigakure Village can control the Three-Tails, so now Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Kei can also control the Nine-Tails?"

"Hokage-sama." Uchiha Shisui's eyes suddenly widened, but unfortunately he was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"I know what you mean, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Kei, they have a very good relationship with the Fourth Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice became deeper and deeper: "But because they are so good, and they have the ability and method to control tailed beasts.

It's hard to say whether one day their ambitions will expand and they will do something even more terrifying.

I remember that there used to be a group of people in your Uchiha clan. "

"."

"Think about it carefully, the Kirigakure incident broke out, Uchiha Kei, where are the others?"

"."

“That’s it, I think you should understand my concerns.

But just to be safe, I will set a curse mark on you. This curse mark will not kill you, but it will prevent you from telling certain secrets.

Shisui, the future of Konoha depends on you. "
