Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 396 What a joke!

Uchiha Shisui was severely beaten by Uchiha Kagami.

This matter is actually quite secretive.

However, Uchiha Kagami's special identity was a major obstacle.

Therefore, the villagers of Konoha were certainly unaware of this.

But I know everything I need to know.

After hearing about this, Shisui's parents were somewhat afraid of Uchiha Kagami, but the young couple still rushed to Uchiha Kagami's house to apologize to him.

The reason why Uchiha Shisui was kept by Uchiha Kagami's side was naturally because Uchiha Kagami wanted to train Uchiha Shisui.

However, everything has two sides.

It's true that Uchiha Kagami wanted to train Shisui, and Shisui was also very intelligent. Theoretically speaking, this could be considered a perfect match.

Or could it be described as a close and intimate relationship between master and disciple?

Not so.

Every person has their own stage at each age.

For example, Uchiha Shisui is currently in his rebellious phase.

Teenagers are always thinking about all sorts of things and always wondering why.

If it were only because of this, then Uchiha Kagami could have suppressed Uchiha Shisui with his intimidation over so many years.

However, Zhishui was exposed to some books at a very young age.

For example, the books he read on the fourth floor of the library.

When Uchiha Kagami sent Uchiha Shisui to the library, he meant for him to read books on advanced mathematics and the like.

As a result, this guy went straight to the fourth floor.

Even You Ya himself found the contents of those books absurd.

The previous book tells you that conflict is an objective reality, while the next book tells you that only by coordinating your own forces can your allies move forward together.

The first book tells you that the unification of schools of thought is the right path, while the second book tells you that only when a hundred flowers bloom can a hundred schools of thought contend, and a hundred schools of thought contend is enough to elevate a civilization to a new level.

Such contradictory thoughts are definitely not suitable for rebellious teenagers who are prone to overthinking.

However, Uchiha Shisui still watched it.

So what information did he obtain?

Yes, he received a very important piece of information:

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.

Therefore, he felt he needed an opportunity to put his knowledge into practice.

So he decided to take the civil service exam.

He felt it didn't matter if he started as a clerk in the street office at the very bottom.

However, this made Uchiha Kagami very angry.

Uchiha Kagami wasn't lacking in resources; he had enough resources to build up a head of the Anbu (Anbu headquarters).

Who do you think is the current head of the Dark Side? Minato Namikaze? Or perhaps Sakumo Hatake?

Both of these people worked under Uchiha Kagami.

To be honest, it would be a simple matter of Uchiha Kagami wanting to insert Shisui into the Anbu.

While there are divisions between different teams within the Dark Division, there is absolutely no infighting.

Because the Anbu are directly under the Hokage.

You officials can have whatever you want, but I won't allow you to interfere with the secret service.

The Dark Division is a forbidden zone for Yua; it is impossible for anyone to interfere with the Dark Division's power.

This is also why Uchiha Kagami has always seemed to have little presence.

Because he is truly capable of interfering in the affairs of the Dark Division.

Although Yua had mentioned related matters after her heart-to-heart talk with Uchiha Kagami last time.

But now that things have been discussed openly, Uchiha Kagami certainly doesn't want Yua to feel insecure.

Then Uchiha Shisui becomes very important.

Yes, Uchiha Shisui's path has already been arranged by Uchiha Kagami.

In a few years, when Uchiha Shisui is older and has learned more, he will be able to join the Anbu and lead a large squad.

Uchiha Kagami has this ability, and he knows that Yua will not refuse him.

Of course, Yuya wouldn't refuse.

It's not because Uchiha Shisui was a member of the Uchiha clan whose strength was actually proven in the original manga.

Rather, it's because Uchiha Shisui is capable of inheriting Uchiha Kagami's legacy. When Uchiha Kagami passes away, Uchiha Shisui, Hatake Sakumo, and Namikaze Minato will divide the three ANBU squads.

It's impossible for one person to concentrate power, but it's not so easy to completely relinquish power either. Putting aside everything else, if Uchiha Kagami completely relinquishes power, he himself will indeed be fine, but what about Uchiha Kagami's family?

Uchiha Kagami's son and wife have lived so well in the inner city all these years, and no one dares to mess with them because of them?!

Bullshit! They're only doing it because of Uchiha Kagami's reputation!

So, there's really only one option for Uchiha Kagami.

He wanted Uchiha Shisui to inherit his political legacy, join the Anbu, and continue to protect Uchiha Kagami, who was also Uchiha Shisui's family.

But what did Uchiha Shisui do?

He's going to take an exam; he wants to become a clerk in the neighborhood office!

Do you really expect a clerk to protect your family?!

Don't even mention you being able to climb up there; how long would that take?

The political system in Konoha Village is now basically fixed. It's not that young people aren't given opportunities, but rather that unless you make a significant contribution, you're unlikely to be promoted.

If that's the case, then why did you become a lousy clerk?!

However, Uchiha Shisui would not see this layer.

What kind of young person wouldn't be young if they weren't spirited?

Uchiha Shisui couldn't see this layer, so everything he did was from his own perspective, and there was nothing more to say.

Most importantly, because it's so realistic, Uchiha Kagami can't directly tell Uchiha Shisui about this!

So the final result was that after Uchiha Shisui was beaten up, his parents, his grandfather, and his relatives all came to him and persuaded him to change his mind.

This caused Shisui to break down even more.

People from the Uchiha clan are inherently sensitive.

He was beaten up by Uchiha Kagami, but instead of comforting him, these people all tried to persuade him to give up his plan.

Uchiha Shisui's parents even told him directly that he was going to join the Konoha Anbu in the future, and since he was going to join the Anbu, he shouldn't take the civil service exam.

Uchiha Shisui's heart was gradually enveloped in gloom.

From his perspective, he was surrounded by his family, so surrounded that he could hardly breathe.

His life experience won't teach him the true value of the path adults have laid out for him. He'll naturally assume: Is the path adults have laid out necessarily right?! Can't I forge my own path?!

Various thoughts swirled in his mind, and finally...

One evening, Uchiha Shisui said to his family...

He accepted reality...

……

So, the next day:

You Ya stared wide-eyed at the documents in his hand…

Are you kidding me?!

That guy Uchiha Kagami actually wanted Uchiha Shisui to start from the lowest level of civil servant?!
