Chapter 64 Three Months Later

The Seventh Hokage of Uchiha closed the book, his eyes filled with horror.

"This kind of book... Konoha has never had one before."

Yun nodded calmly: "Simply possessing power can only lead to destruction. The knowledge required for domination is only roughly outlined here."

"But I think that's enough for the Uchiha. If they kill all the opponents, all the Uchiha will get is the Uchiha clan territory called Konoha."

As he spoke, Yun nodded at his temple: "Becoming Hokage requires using your brain."

The Seventh Hokage of Uchiha carefully closed the book: "Yun is right, reading more books is beneficial."

Itachi, standing to the side, looked at Yun and asked, "How did you do that? How did you manage to see so far?"

Yun thought for a moment and replied, "It does no good to keep the question of life and death in mind. When you discover a problem, you need to observe it, observing it from the perspective of a clan, a village, and the world."

"When you look further ahead, you'll naturally realize that the problems you've been thinking about aren't so complicated after all. Humans are creatures of desire—power, money, strength, fame, or even emotions."

As Yun spoke, he looked at Itachi and said, "You are a genius, but your genius is only in the realm of ninja talent. As for people... you don't understand them."

After he finished speaking, everyone except Yun fell into deep thought.

people?

Human desires?

After a long silence, the Seventh Hokage Uchiha spoke up, asking, "What should we do with that Root clan member?"

Yun thought for a moment and said, "After Danzo died, the seal of the Root of the Tongue should have disappeared. But now it seems that the remaining Root members have returned to the control of some high-ranking member of Konoha."

After a moment's thought, the Seventh Hokage asked, "Should we kill them? Those who have entered Root no longer think like Uchiha."

This suggestion made Shisui frown, while Yun waved his hand and said, "Make arrangements to let him disappear naturally. The Uchiha, who exist within Root, can watch their own clansmen be persecuted without doing anything."

"There's no need to keep this kind of person around. With the current strength of the Uchiha clan, neither the Third Hokage nor those two advisors in Konoha will make any unnecessary moves."

The Seventh Hokage Uchiha nodded, and Shisui, standing beside him, also understood the meaning behind Yun's words.

The persecution of the clan in the cloud's words was not about the Uchiha clan being ostracized, but about Uchiha Higanbana, the clansman who only wanted to die quickly for the sake of the Uchiha and the village.

"call……"

"Let's do as Yun says. We'll proceed gradually and then address the issue of the security forces."

Shisui brought the small meeting to a close, knowing full well that from this day forward he would no longer be a direct subordinate of the Fourth Hokage's Anbu.

Instead, he will become the head of the Uchiha clan, a very busy one.

……

After the small meeting ended, the Seventh Hokage of Uchiha left with the large book.

Yun and Itachi also prepared to leave.

"Is abandoning the security forces the only option?" Shisui's voice came from behind.

Yun turned around: "Immense autonomy would allow the Uchiha to arm themselves without restraint, but do we want a coup?"

"Let's proceed according to plan. Starting tomorrow, you'll test the attitudes of the various families, either as a squad leader or as the deputy captain of the security forces."

"By the way, your position as captain isn't out of the question either. Let's see how many people are willing to get involved in this mess."

……

Three months later, in Konoha's commercial district.

"Bang!"

A figure rolled out from behind a curtain with the word "gambling" printed on it, and was kicked down again by someone who rushed out of the store as soon as he got up.

"Damn it, if you can't come up with the money in three days, you're dead!"

The fat man, dressed like a businessman and with a bruised and swollen face, raised his head and stubbornly said, "You cheated me out of all my money and even tricked me into borrowing money from you at exorbitant interest rates. Why should I pay it back!"

"I won't pay you back! I'm going to sue you! I'll sue you to make you pay back the money you cheated me out of!"

The casino staff scoffed, "A bet's a bet. You're saying we cheated? Did anyone see it? Point it out, and I'll take you to the police station!"

Just then, three people dressed in ninja vests appeared.

The fat merchant rushed over excitedly and grabbed one of the men's legs, crying, "Help! Sir! They cheated me out of my money and beat me up!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the casino staff secretly cursed, thinking, "They arrived just in time."

"Sir, I am the manager of this casino."

He immediately grabbed the other person's hand. Just as the person was about to pull away, they noticed something unusual in their hand.

Thus began a farce in which the obese businessman was taken away for investigation on suspicion of being a spy from another village.

……

"How is it?"

"After Danzo's death, the Fourth Hokage and his two advisors discussed and supplemented the funds for the security forces. But..."

Yun smiled and said, "But due to the long-term influence of those above, these civilian ninjas who have just joined the police force are very good at learning the Uchiha's methods from before."

Shisui nodded with a wry smile: "It's exactly as you predicted. The Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame families have the authority to form a search team, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, as well as Sarutobi, Shimura, and others, have all directly refused the security forces' invitation."

"Only these civilian ninjas who barely made it to Chunin due to their age readily accepted the security force's invitation because they were afraid of the casualty rate on missions outside the village."

"But... the results don't seem to be very good."

Yun replied, "It's easy, pays well, and close to home, so that's its only advantage. Besides, truly capable ninjas wouldn't want to join the security forces."

"However, for people like those just now, the garrison troops are a hot commodity. They can swagger around, live without danger in the village, and extort money and favors. The rights they used to envy are now in their own hands, and they will no longer be looked down upon."

Shisui replied, "Regarding the various families, they didn't hesitate to refuse even the position of vice-captain. That's truly a poison pill!"

Yun looked at Shisui and asked, "Whether it's the Hyuga clan or the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, do they want to rebel?"

Shisui paused for a moment, then shook his head: "No, they don't have the power to stage a coup."

Yun replied, "If you don't want to rebel, why do you need such a large degree of autonomy? Just because you're armed doesn't mean you can win. Not everyone can build a Susanoo."

"Don't even think about letting them in. None of their clan heads are fools. In the end, the Uchiha clan had to give up, and the Hokage had to assign all the clans to send people to form a team."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shisui nodded slightly.

He wasn't too worried about the fat businessman who had just been taken away.

The number of Uchiha in the security forces has decreased significantly, and those in charge can still be trusted to some extent.

Furthermore, recently, thanks to the book by Yun, some Uchiha have become somewhat more capable of using their brains. This is something to be happy about.

Even after the entire story was clarified within the security forces, the cheated businessman still couldn't get his money back.

As for the debt, it will probably be left unresolved in the end.

……

"Whoosh!"

A figure suddenly appeared behind the two of them.

"Shisui-senpai, Uchiha Un, the Hokage wants to see you."

Yun Wei turned around slightly, her Mangekyou Sharingan already activated: "Don't appear behind me next time, or I can't guarantee you'll always be this lucky."

Shisui patted Yun on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, it's just a habit of the Anbu. Tell them to be careful next time."

Yun exhaled after turning off the kaleidoscope; her reaction had been a bit too quick.

The ANBU member, already drenched in cold sweat beneath the mask, nodded and vanished from the spot in an instant.

That dark chakra he just witnessed almost made him draw his sword and charge. Is this the ultimate power of the Uchiha Sharingan? And how old was that Uchiha Yun?

Even compared to Kakashi-senpai, his talent is extraordinary...

……

Hokage Building.

Minato, who was still processing documents, looked up and smiled: "Shisui... Captain and Yun are here? Wait for me a moment, I've only read half of this document."

Shisui nodded and replied, "Hokage-sama, please continue to call me Shisui. It feels a bit strange."

The fourth generation smiled and nodded, continuing to process the documents, while Yun across from him also smiled slightly.

Three months later, the entire Uchiha clan began to unite as the martial arts faction's ideology changed.

Has this power already made Minato somewhat wary?

Captain Shisui?

Half of the documents are still missing?

Is this a test of Shisui's attitude? Then the next step should be to test my attitude.

Not long after, Minato put down the documents in his hand, smiled and looked at Uchiha Yun, saying, "The Uchiha's reforms have been going very well recently, thanks to you all."

Shisui scratched his head and replied, "Because the various families are unwilling to station security forces here, so..."

Minato nodded: "I will handle this matter later. The authority of the security forces should be changed, and the Uchiha clan should not be responsible for managing the village's security."

The change of authority came first, and only with the change of authority could the Uchiha be freed from this mess.

Yun smiled and asked, "It's finally the Ninja Academy's holiday. Shisui, Itachi, and I are going to have barbecue later. Fourth Hokage, do you want to come?"

The fourth generation understood the implication in her words. She glanced at the mountain of documents on the table and said, "Shikaku has taken leave, so I probably won't be free today."

"The reason I had the Anbu (secret police) bring you here is to find someone to help us out."

As he spoke, the Fourth Hokage looked at Yun and said, "Ever since Shisui became the head of the Uchiha clan, he could no longer serve in the Anbu. Without Shisui, it's quite difficult for me to find suitable people for some things."

"Cloud, Kakashi has been a Chunin for three years at your age. Is it appropriate for you to still be at the Ninja Academy?"

Uh……

Yun was stunned, not expecting that someone would be waiting for her here.

I've been slacking off for three years, but the key is that I want to slack off for another three years.

"What does the Hokage mean?"

Minato smiled and said, "After Kakashi left the Anbu, my direct subordinates were taken care of by Ko and Shisui. Now that Shisui is leaving, I want you to graduate early and be promoted to Chunin."

Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Can Chunin be promoted? And even becoming a Chunin doesn't guarantee entry into the Anbu, right?"

Minato replied, "An emergency promotion will suffice; there will be an assessment. I think for someone with the Mangekyou Sharingan, the assessment for promotion to Chunin shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"As for the Anbu, Chunin with the Sharingan, a bloodline limit, can be promoted to Special Jonin according to the system. So..."

Hehe... so I had no choice, I can't slack off anymore?

I haven't been short of money for years. Isn't it good to just eat and drink my fill at school and show off occasionally? Besides, I'm planning to join a team with Izumi after graduation. So, it seems like there's no other way?

"I feel I'm not capable enough. Should I study at the ninja academy for a few more years?" Yun asked tentatively.

But this answer clearly did not satisfy the Fourth Hokage: "Study a few more years or play a few more years? Itachi graduated two years ago, how much longer do you plan to play?"

Shisui, standing nearby, added with a smile, "Unknown is different from Itachi. Whether it's knowledge of ninjas or knowledge about people, I think Unknown doesn't need to stay at the Ninja Academy any longer."

Uh!

After thinking for a moment, Yun, who was speechless, nodded in agreement. It was indeed no longer feasible for him to stay at the Ninja Academy, since it would be a waste for someone with the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan to continue at the Ninja Academy.

The fourth generation wouldn't allow a high-end combatant to go unused, given the numerous missions required every day.

Now that the Root is gone, the Third Hokage's direct subordinates will not obey his orders. For some special missions, the Fourth Hokage's direct subordinates alone are not enough.

……

BBQ shop.

"So you're graduating early too?"

Itachi said with some surprise, "I originally thought you would stay at the Ninja Academy for six years before graduating."

Shisui smiled across from him: "Stay for six years, then stay as a genin for the rest of your life, eating, drinking, and having fun in the village every day. That's probably what Kumo's wish is, isn't it?"

Ha ha!

Yun glanced at the two of them with disdain. Why risk your life to do missions when you can just coast along? Why not just have your clone make money outside?

"Don't gloat. I at least had two years of fun. That idiot Itachi has been cleaning latrines in the village for two years."

The weasel standing to the side widened its eyes and hesitated for a long time before replying, "There are only two missions to clean the latrine. Most of the time, it's about finding that noble lady's cat and chasing away wild boars or something."

Yun curled her lip: "You talk as if you're quite proud of it."

Itachi shook his head: "Our team started carrying out C-rank missions outside the village more than a year ago. Although it's not as good as the Anbu, I think it's pretty good."

Seeing the glimmer of light in the guy's eyes, Yun paused for a moment and asked, "Young man, are you in love?"

"ah?!"

Itachi was stunned for a moment, and then blushed immediately after realizing what was happening.

This immediately made Yun tense up, and he grabbed Itachi by the neck and shook him.

"Speak! Who is it? Didn't I cancel that ninja cat's summoning ability last time? How did you manage to hook up with him again?! Huh?!"

"Cough cough cough..."

Itachi, coughing incessantly, waved his hands repeatedly but couldn't speak. Shisui quickly explained, "You've got it wrong, Yun. Itachi probably likes his teammate, that girl named Kokoro, right?"

Heart?

Upon hearing this, Yun released Itachi, who had nearly fainted, and looked at him questioningly, asking, "Really not Izumi?"

Itachi took two deep breaths before replying, "I've always considered Izumi as my little sister. I lent her the ninja cat because she said she liked it."

Yun looked skeptical, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Although I'm surprised that you can date, as long as it's not Quan, I still wish you well."

Yun then looked at Zhishui and said, "Is it really okay for a nine-year-old to be in a relationship? So young..."

Shisui waved her hand and replied, "It's not a real date, it's just that we like each other. Relax, relax..."

……

Konoha: I'm grinding experience in the ninja world. As a loser, I can only support each other through mutual encouragement. Thank you so much, everyone!
