Only I can make Konoha Village great again.

Yamanaka Chujiu was very satisfied with his performance.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo Shimura were both Kage-level ninjas. He directly controlled Danzo, leading him to commit his biggest mistake.

He also had a direct conversation with Hiruzen Sarutobi, guiding him to develop resentment towards Danzo.

No one realized that he was the mastermind behind the conflict, and after putting on a show of tea ceremony, he managed to make everyone unconsciously ignore him.

In the end, even the least noticeable Aburame Shii forgot he existed.

The key to achieving today's performance lies in the power of faith that I have received from my followers.

This thing not only greatly weakens the mind's defenses, allowing the threads of thought to penetrate more easily, but it can also exert a stronger influence.

After that, when they went back to the battlefield, unless they were unlucky enough to be hit directly by the Tailed Beast Ball, neither Jinchuriki nor the Fourth Raikage could threaten Yamanaka Hatsukyu's life.

With his safety guaranteed, Shan Zhong Chu Jiu was very happy and could act freely in many things!

This time, he won't be forced to develop in a cowardly manner like he was when he was ten years old and forced to go to the battlefield.

He wants to be a brave man!

This wasn't for Konoha Village, but for his brother, sister-in-law, and niece, and also to make a name for himself and prepare to expand the foundation of his faith!

The ninja world will not make way for the cowardly, but it will offer the brave one opportunity after another, helping them to succeed!

That's what Yamanaka Chukyu thought, and that's what he said to Uchiha Shisui.

Shisui had just learned that he, not even ten years old, had been assigned to a combat unit and was about to go to the eastern front to fight for Konoha Village.

No matter how talented Uchiha Shisui was, he was still just a nine-year-old child.

When children know they are going to war, fear and anxiety will naturally arise in their hearts.

Yamanaka Chukyu made a prophecy in advance, which gave Shisui great peace of mind, and also made him unable to resist coming to Shisui's door with Uchiha Itachi.

Yamanaka Chuuku gave him the encouragement and goal he needed most: "I said before, if you want to save the Uchiha, you have to go to the battlefield!"

"This is your destiny. Don't be discouraged, don't be afraid, go for it bravely."

"Make your name and your name known on the battlefield, let Konoha Village know, let the ninja world know, that you, Uchiha Shisui, are strong!"

"Then you will be qualified to ask me about the real way to save the Uchiha."

Uchiha Shisui's gaze was firm: "I understand, Senpai Chu Jiu!"

Upon hearing Yamanaka Hatsukyu's words, Uchiha Shisui fully understood the meaning of his battle and strengthened his resolve to fight.

Finally, he asked out of curiosity, "Senior, will we be on the same battlefield?"

Yamanaka Chukyu said, "Orochimaru-sensei told me that I would go to the northern front to face the Cloud Village ninjas, while the Uchiha clan would be concentrated on the eastern front to fight the Mist Village ninjas."

Itachi Uchiha gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! Making the Uchiha, who are skilled in Fire Release, fight against the Hiruzen, who are skilled in Water Release, is Hiruzen Sarutobi deliberately trying to kill us Uchiha!"

Yamanaka Chuujiu reached out and pressed down on Itachi's head: "Itachi, don't complain. Complaining is useless; it will only deplete your courage. Only by striving to become stronger can you change all of this."

Uchiha Itachi was breathing heavily, but he couldn't help but ask, "Hatsukyu-senpai, why are there so many bad people in Konoha Village?"

Yamanaka Chuuku laughed: "You think there are many bad people because you are too weak right now. You think only I will lend a helping hand because the Uchiha clan is weak."

Uchiha Itachi exclaimed in bewilderment, "Impossible! The Uchiha are the strongest ninja clan!"

Yamanaka Chujiu laughed heartily: "That's right, among ninja clans, the Uchiha are unparalleled in their strength."

"But you Uchiha are from Konoha Village, and who in the village still engages in one-on-one ninja duels?"

"Is the Uchiha clan truly stronger than all the other ninja clans combined—Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, Mitokado, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, Aburame, and Inuzuka?"

Itachi Uchiha understood: "No."

Yamanaka Hatsukyu praised, "Very good, Itachi, you can recognize reality, but reality is even crueler than I just said."

"It wasn't just the ninja clan who were loyal to Hiruzen Sarutobi; there were at least six thousand civilian ninjas as well!"

"The weakness of the Uchiha lies in your closed-off and isolated nature."

"When Shimura Danzo targeted the Uchiha, although many people felt that Danzo was wrong, most Konoha ninjas also felt that the Uchiha had problems as well."

"To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the Konoha ninjas, no one will help you in the conflict between the Uchiha and Shimura Danzo."

"Itachi, you must remember this: no suffering will fall on the Uchiha without a reason."

"It's because the Uchiha clan has lived too comfortably for the past few decades, and because your elders have been lazy and enjoyed undeserved pride, that we are facing difficulties today."

"The predecessors cut down the trees, and the successors are left to suffer in the sun."

"Now that the Uchiha clan's fortunes have exploded, two geniuses like you have been born. Of course, you must do your best to turn the tide and save the Uchiha clan."

"Shisui is not even ten years old yet, but he has to risk his life on the battlefield. Itachi, on the other hand, you must be patient and restrain yourself, and go to the Ninja Academy to study."

"Itachi, ignore your foolish father, and don't graduate early!"

"You must humble yourself, do your best to make friends, get along well with everyone, and let people see a different future for the Uchiha!"

"Shisui, you too!"

"Humble yourself, build good relationships with all your comrades, and become the Uchiha clan's link to the outside world!"

"To put it bluntly, if the two of you fail, the Uchiha clan, having exhausted their luck, will have no choice but to attempt Nirvana."

Uchiha Itachi murmured, "Phoenix rebirth?"

Shan Zhongchu Jiu said, "Yes, Nirvana."

"The vast majority of the Uchiha clan members had to die, leaving only a small number of children, some as young as ten or even eight, to start reproducing under the watchful eyes of Konoha Village."

"Therefore, you are not carrying your own pride on your shoulders, but the lives of over 90% of the entire Uchiha clan!"

"You have no right to act recklessly!"

"If anyone in the Uchiha clan keeps spouting nonsense, saying that the proud Uchiha disdain associating with mortals, you shouldn't argue with them."

"Rebutting is a waste of time, energy, and is completely meaningless."

"When you're not strong enough, even if you win an argument verbally, it's useless. But once you're strong enough, there's no need to explain anything; just go up and beat him up!"

"No one understands the Uchiha clan better than me!"

With his arms outstretched in front of his chest, Yamanaka Hatsuyu confidently declared, "The most effective way to persuade someone among the Uchiha is to give them a good beating."

"If once doesn't work, try twice, three times, or even more, until your opponent knows you are invincible."
