Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 397 Consequences

Upon learning of this, Yuya immediately set off for Uchiha Kagami's house.

Along the way, Yuya even wondered if Uchiha Kagami had lost his mind. Did he really not know what kind of blow it would be to his family if Uchiha Shisui really started from a lowly clerk position?!

Upon arriving at Uchiha Kagami's house, Uchiha Kagami opened the door for Yua.

Looking at Uchiha Kagami in front of him, Yua frowned immediately and asked bluntly, "Are you really sure? You want Shisui to start from the neighborhood committee?!"

When Uchiha Kagami saw Yua arrive and immediately bombard him with questions without even a greeting, he rolled his eyes and then stepped aside to let Yua in, saying, "Come in first, we'll talk then."

You Ya frowned as he walked into the house.

Then, Uchiha Kagami called Uchiha Shisui out of the room.

Uchiha Shisui emerged from the room carrying a neighborhood directory. He bowed slightly to Yua, maintaining his usual politeness.

Yuya waved his hand, not caring. He genuinely didn't care about Shisui; he wanted to confirm things with Uchiha Kagami.

"What were you thinking? Don't you really know the consequences of letting Shisui work at the office?"

Uchiha Shisui knelt to the side, his hands suddenly clenching.

Here we go again, why does everyone disagree with him taking the exam?!

He's clearly not bad! In fact, you could say he's better than many people!

Why doesn't even the Hokage think he can do it?

Why did even the Hokage think he would be better off joining the Anbu?

Can't I live according to my own wishes?!

Uchiha Kagami sighed, then looked at Yua with some helplessness: "What can I do? My grandson has made this choice and refuses to change it. What can I do but let it be?"

Yuya pursed his lips, then looked at Uchiha Shisui and asked, "Shisui, tell me, are you really willing to give up the path your grandfather paved for you and choose to walk it yourself?"

Shisui looked at Yua, then nodded earnestly and said, "Hokage-sama, yes! I believe I can make the village stronger and more prosperous, just like you!"

You Ya pursed his lips, nodded, and said nothing more.

He watched as Uchiha Kagami smiled and rubbed Shisui's head, and a terrible thought popped into his mind.

should……

No way...

He thought for a moment, then looked at Uchiha Kagami, wanting to confirm his own thoughts one last time: "Uncle Kagami, I want to ask, is this... something you... truly believe?!"

Uchiha Kagami paused for a moment, then looked at Yua, and then smiled: "Ah, I truly believe that."

A chill suddenly ran through Yuya's heart. He looked at the obedient Uchiha Shisui beside him, opened his mouth, then shook his head and stood up silently.

"I'll see you off," said Uchiha Kagami.

"No, let Shisui take me."

Uchiha Kagami was somewhat puzzled, but he nodded nonetheless.

Afterwards, Uchiha Shisui saw Yua out of the house.

And escorted Youya downstairs.

"Alright, that's enough for now."

Yuya looked at Uchiha Shisui, and sighed as he gazed into the other's dark eyes.

Although the eyes of the Uchiha clan are usually black, their true nature is still the blood-red Sharingan...

Uchiha Shisui nodded.

Youya couldn't help but reach out and ruffle Shisui's hair.

Then, Yuya looked at Shisui, who was only 13 years old, and sighed.

What can you expect from a child this age?

It's also my fault. Actually, you could tell from the time Shisui advised Itachi to get Sasuke into the Hyuga Kindergarten that Shisui was now...

Actually, he is a very self-centered person.

The suggestions he gave to Itachi Uchiha did not take into account Itachi's actual situation at all; he simply proposed a solution in a violent way and then implemented it, nothing more.

This version of Shisui, it must be said, is vastly different from the character in the original work…

Youya looked at Shisui and saw a sorrowful expression on his face.

"What's wrong, Hokage-sama?"

Shisui held Yuya in high esteem.

Or rather, there was no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village who disrespected Yua.

Yuya transformed a dilapidated village into a modern international metropolis, freeing everyone from the daily struggle of what to eat. Without a doubt, he is the light of hope for all Konoha villagers.

Looking at Zhishui, Youya felt a sense of disappointment and frustration with himself.

Why must everything be based on the original work?!

People change!

What's more, he's had a smooth life from childhood to adulthood without ever encountering any setbacks, and his parents and grandfather are still alive...

How could this still water be the same as the one in the original work?

Yuya sighed, patted Shisui's head, and then said meaningfully to Shisui, "All of this is your own choice. I hope you won't regret it after you bear the consequences..."

Shisui was even more puzzled.

However, Youya had already turned and left.

……

Kotoamatsukami, an extremely powerful illusion.

It's unknown whether Shisui has awakened Kotoamatsukami Yua yet.

However, Yuya felt that it was possible to get Uchiha Kagami, who had always opposed Shisui taking the exam, to agree now, and to agree from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps only this super illusion technique can achieve this.

Forget it, I can't be bothered with it anymore.

Instead of worrying about that, we should think about the World Championship being held in Sunagakure this year.

Later, when Yua focused on the World Championship held in Sunagakure.

At the end of September, Zhishui got her wish and became a staff member of a subdistrict office.

In October, the factory run by Shisui's parents was targeted and suppressed. In mid-October, it was exposed that the factory exploited its workers and used counterfeit raw materials. In early November, the factory went bankrupt.

In mid-November, while Uchiha Shisui was still busy handling various neighborhood disputes at his office, his parents had already begun preparing to look for new jobs.

At the end of November, during a visit, Shisui discovered his mother working at a restaurant. Shisui was shocked to learn that his parents' factory had gone bankrupt.

Shisui was very puzzled. Why?

The factory was already operating before he was even born, and it hadn't had any problems for so many years. How could he have died in just two months?

He investigated and indeed found something amiss, because several workers had been bribed to commit fraud.

Zhi Shui was very angry, but as a clerk in the neighborhood office, how could he possibly handle this matter?

He could only report it.

The investigation was swift, and the people who hired them to make false accusations were arrested.

Everything seemed to be resolved, but Shisui's parents' factory was still gone.

Shisui felt very lost after returning home.

What confused him even more was...

In December, a building defect was discovered in the property owned by Zhishui's parents. As compensation, they were each given one million taels of silver and a property of the same size on South Fourth Street.

He didn't know what had happened.

Why suddenly...

His family's factory was gone, and their house was moved from the East District 1 to the South District 4...

Shisui asked his grandfather: Is it because he gave up joining the Anbu that things turned out this way?

Uchiha Kagami shook his head and smiled at Shisui, saying, "It's not your fault, it was your own choice."

The still water seemed struck by lightning...

Children only grow through hardship and adversity, but Zhi Shui never imagined that his growth would be so profound and unforgettable...
