Chapter 138 Uchiha Itachi

"Half and half."

Taking a drag of his cigarette, the Third Hokage calmly continued, "At that time, the Uchiha clan was already quite restless. With Uchiha Shisui in the past and Uchiha Itachi in the future, the emergence of these two geniuses further fueled the radical faction's ambitions. At the same time, I did admire Itachi quite a bit. In order to appease and suppress the Uchiha, I had no choice but to do this."

Think for a second.

Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage, felt that if he were in the same situation as the Third Hokage, he would probably do the same.

There are two advantages to doing this.

The first benefit was that it appeased the Uchiha clan.

The Third Hokage commented that Itachi had the mindset of a Hokage. Does this mean that Itachi had the potential to become Hokage?

Regardless of what others think, there are bound to be such thoughts within the Uchiha clan.

If Itachi has the qualifications to be Hokage, then why would they rebel?

Is it self-rebellion?

This is wrong.

It's safe to say that unless a successor for the next Hokage is decided, the Uchiha clan is unlikely to rebel in order to make Itachi the Hokage.

This bought the Third Hokage a significant amount of time to treat the Uchiha clan.

The second benefit was that it further positioned the Uchiha clan as an adversary of other clans.

The Uchiha clan already had a bad relationship with the other clans in Konoha. Now that they know the Uchiha clan might produce a Hokage, wouldn't the other clans be furious?

For the sake of their families' interests, these people will definitely try every means to prevent Itachi Uchiha from becoming Hokage, lest he settle scores with these families after taking office.

This tactic of shifting blame transformed the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan into a conflict between the Uchiha and other clans.

The Third Hokage really pulled off that move quite skillfully.

It's a bit of a shame that this operation was ruined by that idiot Danzo.

Otherwise, perhaps the Uchiha clan wouldn't have been wiped out.

Just like the mirror in Tobirama's timeline, after eliminating the radicals, the remaining Uchiha were no longer a threat.

After all, most of the Uchiha were quite satisfied with their life in Konoha.

"That idiot Danzo, I don't know why you've tolerated him for so many years, old man."

The Third Hokage rolled his eyes at the Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, but said nothing.

Jiraiya of the Five Dynasties scoffed and didn't press the matter further.

[When Itachi was eight years old, he witnessed the death of his teammate and successfully awakened his Sharingan.]

[He passed the Chunin Exams all by himself at the age of ten.]

He joined the Anbu at the age of eleven.

[Influenced by Shisui, Itachi, as a ninja, devoted himself to serving the village from a young age.]

After joining the Anbu, his talent was recognized by Kakashi Hatake, who was then the captain, and he was also influenced by some of Kakashi's positive ideas.

Because of the different promotion paths and systems for ANBU and regular ninjas, the youngest Jonin in the Naruto series is still our unit of measurement for chakra: Kakashi Hatake.

"What do you mean? When did I become a unit of measurement for chakra?"

Under the light screen, Kakashi listened to what A-Ten said and felt completely bewildered.

"Haha, it's probably because you, Kakashi, are too weak, resulting in insufficient chakra reserves, so they're using you as a unit of measurement for chakra."

Kakashi looked at Asuma with a hint of resentment, "You talk as if you have a lot more chakra than me."

"Hehe, even if it's a little more, it's still a lot."

Asma was very happy.

He discovered that he finally had something he was better at than Kakashi.

That is, his chakra reserves are definitely greater than Kakashi's.

That's really not easy.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always lived in Kakashi's shadow.

I can't beat him in a fight.

I can't beat him in the exam.

Even in terms of looks, they can't compare.

This was indeed too cruel for the second son of the Sarutobi clan.

Now, he has something that Kakashi can't match.

No, it should be two items.

Thinking of this, Asuma put his arm around Kurenai's shoulder and raised his head to Kakashi.

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

Asma: I have a girlfriend, do you?

Kakashi glanced at Rin instinctively.

Rin: "Kakashi, is something wrong?"

Kakashi: "It's alright. Let's continue watching the light screen."

"oh."

Kakashi found it somewhat amusing.

When did I become so childish, even comparing myself to Asuma in this kind of thing?

However, if Asuma doesn't make himself comfortable, then he shouldn't expect to have an easy time either.

"You've had it tough too."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

Kakashi deliberately stared at Asuma for two seconds, then sighed and patted him on the shoulder.

This gesture left Asma completely dumbfounded.

"What are you talking about? What's so difficult about me? Hey, don't turn around! What exactly do you mean? Explain yourself!"

The more anxious Asuma became, the less Kakashi would say.

He even left Asuma's side and walked between Sasuke and Naruto.

"Damn, Kakashi definitely did this on purpose."

"Alright, stop acting like a child and look at the light screen."

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."

"Who's your wife? Don't talk nonsense."

"Hehe, whoever is next to me is my wife."

"Hate."

Nohara Rin was completely numb.

She was originally standing next to Kakashi.

As a result, Kakashi went over to Sasuke and Naruto, leaving her here alone to witness their public display of affection.

Without making a sound, Nohara Rin also slipped away and stood next to Kakashi once again.

After Itachi joined the Anbu, due to his outstanding talent, he was "borrowed" to the Anbu where Shimura Danzo was located, which is the Root.

At this time, he served as a bridge between the Uchiha clan and the village, and also acted as a double agent for both Konoha and the Uchiha.

[Konoha has long used the establishment of a police force as a pretext to isolate the Uchiha clan.]

Dissatisfied with this policy, the Uchiha clan decided to launch a coup, attempting to coerce Itachi's father, Fugaku Uchiha, into taking his leadership and vying for the clan's position in the village.

After the Nine-Tails' attack on the village, Konoha's higher-ups, especially Danzo, suspected that the incident was orchestrated by the family with the colored contact lenses.

[Therefore, at the strong suggestion of Danzo, who was obsessed with colored contact lenses, the area where the Uchiha clan lived was placed under 24-hour surveillance.]

[As an aside, the staff monitoring the area on shifts are probably cursing Danzo in their hearts. After all, this job is tough, and damn dangerous; one wrong move and you could die.]

[To get back to the main point, before the coup broke out, Uchiha Shisui went to see the Third Hokage, intending to observe Uchiha Fugaku's attitude at the Uchiha clan meeting.]

If the coup cannot be stopped, use the most powerful illusion technique, Kotoamatsukami, to control him and thus prevent the rebellion.

"I feel that the method of stopping the water is still somewhat feasible."

"Indeed, if the clan leader is controlled, and given his status and position, coupled with the deterrent effect of Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, it might actually be possible to avert this coup."

"But why was the Uchiha clan ultimately wiped out?"

In Tobirama's office, everyone was having a heated discussion about the feasibility of the Shisui method.

As they talked, everyone fell silent, and then they all looked at Shimura Danzo in unison.

Danzo: ? ? ?
