Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 441 Spitting

You Ya ultimately decided that he could not be dismissed.

Even if such a hidden danger does arise in the future, he cannot dismiss these people now.

You Ya rubbed his head in frustration, genuinely unsure of what to do next.

If you ask Youya to develop the business, Youya can arrange things for you ten years from now.

You're getting Youya involved in metaphysics...

No one can guarantee anything like that, right?

Therefore, there is actually only one most elegant solution.

That means pretending not to know anything and continuing to let these people hold their various positions, except that someone needs to supervise them.

As for the selection of supervisors...

After thinking for a moment, Yuya told Tsunade a name.

……

"I'm back." Uchiha Shisui opened the door and said softly.

However, the thing he imagined—that someone would say "welcome back"—did not happen.

Uchiha Shisui was a little confused. He went through the entrance hall into the living room and saw Yua drinking with his grandfather, Uchiha Kagami. Yua was sitting on the floor drinking with Uchiha Kagami.

"Um, Hokage-sama, what are you and Grandpa... going to discuss? Should I excuse myself?"

You Ya waved his hand: "No need, no need at all. I've already talked to your grandfather, and he's agreed. There's no need to rush this, but we can't take it lightly either."

I think Zhishui is quite good. Why don't we get him transferred to this new regulatory body?

Upon hearing Yuya's words, Uchiha Kagami rolled his eyes on his aged face: "Don't say that. We've finally gotten on the right track. We can't let Shisui give up now. He's the cleanest and most successful person in our family. We can't let him give up everything and start over."

Yuya nodded: "That's true, but to be fair, if it's another twenty years or so, when Shisui is fifty, I really don't doubt that he has the ability to take over the position of Hokage."

Yuya's words came from the heart, after all, Shisui was originally the successor of Uchiha Kagami in this world. In other words, Shisui was originally supposed to follow the path of the Anbu.

It's not that this path is difficult, but once you're on it, there's no turning back. For the rest of your life, this experience in the shadows will accompany you, and the dirty and tiring work you did can't be washed away.

However, Shisui later awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and gained the ability to use Kotoamatsukami once every twenty years.

Then Shisui used Kotoamatsukami to change the minds of his relatives.

In fact, even if Shisui didn't use the Mangekyou Sharingan, if he had just told his grandfather, Kagami Uchiha would have firmly supported him in continuing on his path.

Because this is a new path, even if the price of taking this path is the rapid decline of his family's wealth, the bankruptcy of Shisui's parents' many factories, and the potential burden of debt, if this price alone allows Shisui to clear his name and stand openly in the sunlight, and to hold a position in any department as long as he has the ability, then this price is really insignificant.

Shisui is only in his early twenties and he is already the head of a district. The next step is to become the head of the four major regions: east, west, south, and north. The next step is to become the head of all regions. And if he rises any higher, he will become the Hokage.

In other words, although this path is indeed difficult, it truly allows you to stand openly in the sunlight and compete for the Hokage position!

However...

"Lord Hokage, please don't make fun of me. I'm not worthy of the position of Hokage..." Shisui said to Yua with some embarrassment.

Yuya didn't know if Shisui had awakened Kotoamatsukami, since Shisui couldn't possibly use the Mangekyou Sharingan in front of him. Yuya, the younger generation of the Uchiha clan, and the current core members all had great respect for him—there was no way around it, they had to have some idea of how much benefit he had given them.

—Except for some older generation guys, like the last member of the previous generation of Uchiha clan elders, who is already seventy-five years old. I don't know why this guy can live so long.

This is also the last hurdle Fugaku faces in integrating the Uchiha clan into Konoha's inner city.

Many people said they would move if the old man agreed.

Upon hearing this, Fugaku knew that everything was settled.

You think you can live to seventy-five, or even eighty-five? I'm only 42 this year. Come on, let's see who lives longer!

Therefore, Fugaku didn't even intend to go see this old man.

We're prepared to just wait it out.

The situation in the Uchiha clan's territory has become clear. The Uchiha Shisui family doesn't care, since they left the clan's territory long ago and don't care at all what it's like now.

I have that energy...

Why don't you go and see how their water-stopping project is going?

Isn't Zhi Shui closer to them than these people are?

Therefore, Shisui is now Uchiha Kagami's only hope, well, that doesn't seem quite right. He should be said to be the only junior that Uchiha Kagami cares about.

Therefore, when Uchiha Kagami heard Uchiha Shisui say this, he shook his head and said seriously, "I think it's feasible."

Uchiha Shisui gave an awkward smile, assuming that Uchiha Kagami was speaking well of him to Yua.

Uchiha Kagami immediately understood upon seeing his grandson's expression: "Do you think I'm putting in a good word for you in front of that kid Yuya? Pfft, that kid calls me uncle, why would I deliberately lower myself to say such things in front of him?"

We've all seen your work ability over the years. If you continue to take this steady, step-by-step approach, you'll definitely have the mental fortitude to become Hokage by the time you're fifty.

Whether this matter exists or not, the fact remains the same regardless of what he said.

Yuya, holding a wine glass and about to down a drink, immediately became dissatisfied upon hearing Uchiha Kagami's words: "What do you mean by 'nonsense'? You old codger, you've certainly lived long enough, haven't you? I'm giving you face by calling you 'uncle,' but if I didn't..."

Yuya grinned lewdly at Uchiha Kagami and winked, saying, "If I don't give you face, I'll go to the village and shout it from the rooftops, telling the villagers that you were the head of the Anbu during my uncle's tenure. What do you think the villagers will think then?"

Uchiha Kagami's expression changed drastically, his finger trembling as he pointed at Yua: "You! You! You're shameless!"

You Ya raised his glass with satisfaction and took a comfortable sip: "Ah, this wine is good, this wine is really good."

Shisui asked with some doubt, "Hokage-sama, even if this gets out, it'll be fine, right?"

You Ya chuckled: "It's definitely fine for you, but as for my uncle, what do you think of his reputation in the village right now?"

Shisui thought for a moment and then told the truth: "It's not good. Many villagers say that if the Second Hokage had let you succeed as the Third Hokage earlier, the village would definitely have reached a higher level."

You Ya laughed heartily: "That's right, that's right. Actually, that's not true. When my uncle was around, I was in charge of most of the things in the village. So, if I had taken over earlier, it wouldn't have been much better than it is now. I didn't listen to the villagers. They definitely wanted more, so my uncle's reputation wasn't very good. And my uncle, your grandfather, was the head of the secret service at the time, so his reputation was even worse."

Tsk tsk tsk, if I make this public, who knows, when your grandfather dies, someone might spit on his tombstone~

Yuya spoke lightly, but Uchiha Kagami's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, yet he couldn't refute her.

Uchiha Shisui stared in disbelief, glancing at the Hokage and then at his grandfather.

Then he thought about it...

Holy crap?! This actually could happen?!

Sigh, Second Hokage, because of you, my grandfather has been implicated.

You Ya was enjoying his drink comfortably, but he was also a little puzzled.

Why has my right eyelid been twitching all day?

What Youya didn't know was...

At Orochimaru's laboratory:

In front of Orochimaru were two coffins, one with a "one" drawn on it and the other with a "two" drawn on it...

Looking at the two coffins, Orochimaru revealed a sinister smile.
