"This means that the Uchiha clan has taken full control of Konoha. Fighting them is not very meaningful for us and will only lead Konoha, which is already suffering from the damage of war, into an even greater predicament."

After saying this, Nara Shikaku left without turning his head and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The remaining patriarchs of the various families exchanged glances.

At the same time, the Uchiha clan.

After listening to Uchiha Shisui's report, Uchiha Fugaku decided to use the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan to predict the future once again.

He also invited Uchiha Shisui to watch.

When Uchiha Shisui saw the clan leader display the Mangekyou Sharingan right in front of him, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Lord Fugaku, you..."

“Don’t be surprised, Shisui. Like you, I witnessed the sacrifice of important comrades on the battlefield, which is why I awakened the strongest eye technique of the Uchiha clan.”

"But to avoid unnecessary trouble, I didn't tell anyone except you and Ryoyu."

As Fugaku Uchiha explained, he used his Mangekyou Sharingan to show Shisui Uchiha what was about to happen in the future.

When Uchiha Shisui finished watching the predicted future playing in Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan, he was stunned on the spot.

Then, he fell silent.

Fugaku Uchiha himself wore a look of surprise and astonishment.

"It seems... he has succeeded."

After a long while, Fugaku Uchiha finally spoke in a low voice.

Uchiha Shisui remained silent.

The future they just saw through Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan showed that the Uchiha clan had successfully become the de facto rulers of Konoha.

Uchiha Ryosuke became the Fourth Hokage.

The village was peaceful and tranquil, and the bloody conflict that one might have imagined did not occur.

Quite the opposite.

Under the leadership of the Uchiha clan and through the efforts of Uchiha Ryosuke, the entire Hidden Leaf Village quickly recovered from the trauma of the war.

Moreover, it presents a thriving scene.

The various clans in the village were united and did not show any dissatisfaction with the Uchiha clan coming to power.

This future is somewhat contrary to Uchiha Shisui's previous expectations.

He even once considered the possibility of sacrificing himself to stop the war between his family and the village.

"Lord Fugaku... is this future real?"

Despite witnessing it firsthand, Uchiha Shisui still harbored doubts.

In fact, Fugaku Uchiha himself was quite surprised and incredulous by this result.

Upon hearing this, he snapped out of his daze and exchanged a glance with Uchiha Shisui.

"The last time I used this ability to predict the future was when Ryosuke told me that he was going to compete for the Hokage position and completely rewrite the situation of the Uchiha clan."

"What we saw at the time was that the Uchiha clan paid a heavy price for this goal, and Konoha was also plunged into a difficult situation of insufficient combat power for a long time."

"I never imagined that... the outcome would be completely different now!"

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head slightly as he spoke.

He still couldn't quite believe what his Mangekyou Sharingan had foreseen in the future.

Upon hearing him say that, Uchiha Shisui seemed to remember something.

"Lord Fugaku, please make sure to keep everyone in check from now on."

"Please don't let me take any action until I get back, please!"

After Uchiha Shisui finished speaking, he gave Uchiha Fugaku a standard 90-degree bow.

He then turned around and disappeared in a flash.

Fugaku Uchiha felt as if an electric current was running through his entire body.

I got countless goosebumps all over my body.

"Could it be that the fate of my Uchiha clan is truly about to be rewritten?"

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

But then, as if he had thought of something, Fugaku Uchiha hurriedly ordered all Chunin and above combat personnel in the clan to be summoned.

...

The news that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze had returned to Konoha had already reached Danzo Shimura's ears.

At this moment, he couldn't wait for Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi's elite troops to lead the other ninja clans of Konoha in a campaign to subjugate the Uchiha clan.

The best outcome would be for both sides to suffer heavy losses.

This way, he could lead the Root organization to take action and completely end this rebellion that originated from the Uchiha clan.

Then he can rightfully inherit the position of Hokage.

Therefore, he secretly dispatched his trusted underlings to investigate the situation outside.

At the same time, Nara Shikaku and Uchiha Shisui also went to the Hokage Building.

Soon, all of them arrived at the Hokage Building.

Nara Shikaku encountered Uchiha Shisui downstairs, but neither of them spoke. They merely exchanged a glance before Uchiha Shisui leaped to the top of the Hokage Building.

Nara Shikaku, on the other hand, entered the building normally from the first floor with mixed feelings.

There were no obstacles along the way.

When Nara Shikaku arrived at the Hokage's office upstairs, he found the door open and Uchiha Shisui already inside.

Besides Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Ryosuke was also in the office, sitting on the Hokage's throne.

In the sofa area sat the two advisors, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, as well as the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

What surprised Nara Shikaku even more was that Minato Namikaze, whom everyone in the village had guessed was the most likely to become the Fourth Hokage, was now standing next to Uchiha Ryosuke.

This arrangement of positions allowed the exceptionally intelligent Nara Shikaku to instantly grasp the answer he sought.

"The war you feared didn't happen, Shisui, you can rest assured now."

Uchiha Ryosuke merely glanced at Nara Shikaku, who was standing at the door, speechless and at a loss, before speaking to Uchiha Shisui.

After saying that, he waved to Nara Shikaku: "Come in too."

Upon hearing this, Nara Shikaku quickly went inside.

He greeted Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado in the sofa area, and slowly walked to Ryosuke Uchiha.

Before he could even begin, Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke first: "Shikaku, Ryosuke has received the appointment from the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and will soon become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha."

"You can pass this message on to every clan leader and every ninja."

Although I had already guessed that this would be the outcome.

But Nara Shikaku was still very surprised to hear the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, say this answer with his own ears.

He glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi, then at Minato Namikaze, and then at Ryosuke Uchiha.

The office looked peaceful and harmonious at the moment, showing no signs of any past arguments or internal strife.

Even with Nara Shikaku's intelligence, he simply couldn't fathom what had happened here.

I don't understand what kind of magic Uchiha Ryosuke possesses that could make Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and even the village's two advisors agree to him becoming Hokage.

But smart people know when to advance and when to retreat, and they are aware of the times.

Nara Shikaku didn't ask any questions he shouldn't have. He nodded and said, "Understood, Third Hokage."

"By the way, let everyone know that there will be a friendly match between Minato and Ryosuke tomorrow morning."

"A contest of friendship?"

"That's right, it will be held together with the inauguration ceremony, and you will be responsible for notifying and publicizing this."

Upon hearing this, Nara Shikaku's eyes darted around, and he looked at Uchiha Ryosuke and Namikaze Minato with a puzzled expression.

Within seconds, he immediately realized the true intention behind this contest.

"It seems the Uchiha clan intends to win the respect of the entire village from the ground up..."

"But they actually assigned me such a troublesome task."

He silently complained to himself.

But Nara Shikaku did not refuse and immediately nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shisui Uchiha, and then glanced at Ryosuke Uchiha.

"Go back and let Fugaku and the others do what they're supposed to do, Shisui."

Uchiha Ryosuke reminded him.

"understood."

Uchiha Shisui nodded immediately and disappeared in a flash.

After Uchiha Shisui and Nara Shikaku had both left, Koharu Utatane asked indifferently, "What about Danzo?"

"He's probably waiting for you two to fight to the death."

Mitokado also chimed in with a comment.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi silently filled his pipe with some tobacco.

He then looked up at Uchiha Ryosuke and Namikaze Minato.

These two are the pinnacle representatives of Konoha's rising stars today.

Moreover, one is the Fourth Hokage, and the other has been appointed by Uchiha Ryosuke as his Hokage assistant.

So it's time to tell them some things here.

"Before this, you had no experience with the Hokage's office, and there are many things you probably don't understand. We need to use the remaining time to help you sort out the current situation of the entire village."

"Danzo and his Root organization are ostensibly responsible for training and cultivating elite secret agents for the village."

Chapter 64: Kill Them! Liang You's Domineering Power! Glory!

"But in reality, their existence has another layer of meaning. The Root organization is a root buried deep underground. It is a special entity that bears the darkness for the entire Hidden Leaf Village and protects the interests of the village."

"Since you will be taking over the management of the entire village from now on, then making good use of the Root organization and making this sharp knife play a more powerful role is also a skill you need to learn."

Hiruzen Sarutobi first gave Ryosuke Uchiha a detailed introduction to the Root organization and Danzo Shimura.

He also took the opportunity to introduce his own elite secret service forces.

After all, from now on, they would no longer only be loyal to Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage; they would also bear the responsibility of protecting Ryosuke Uchiha, the Fourth Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was unaware that Ryosuke Uchiha was fully aware of this information.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Uchiha Ryosuke and saw that the other party did not have any special reaction, as if he had completely digested the information.

Then Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Root is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can help you govern the village better, but you can't be careless. Danzo is an extremely ambitious person."

"This time, I was unaware of the matter concerning your Uchiha clan beforehand. It is evident that Danzo acted arbitrarily and abused his power while I was away from the village."

"And this is precisely the main reason why I have been unable to entrust him with the important responsibilities of the village all these years, which has caused him dissatisfaction—..."

It's rare that Hiruzen Sarutobi would directly criticize Danzo Shimura in front of Ryosuke Uchiha and Minato Namikaze.

It also fully describes the unknown side of Shimura Danzo.

It is clear that he already knew exactly what kind of person Shimura Danzo was.

However, he needed the power of the Root organization, so for a long time he turned a blind eye to some of Danzo Shimura's actions.

Uchiha Ryosuke listened attentively, nodding occasionally to show that he understood.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, he smiled slightly.

"Since you all know very well that Danzo is a time bomb, a security threat, and a scourge, why do you still allow him to exist?"
