Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

“When the surrender treaty with Iwagakure is signed, I will step down from the Sandaime Hokage’s position and give way to Yondaime Hokage!”

Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said slowly, “As for the candidates for Yondaime Hokage, it will be selected from the village’s Jonin in accordance with the established rules, and then the list will be handed over to the Daimyo and his Minister, as well as the village’s higher-ups, for a joint ruling between the two parties, and finally a vote of confidence from the Jonin. Do you have any opinions?”

“Sandaime Hokage-sama.”

Fugaku took a step forward and said, “I am going to compete for the Yondaime Hokage’s position!”

Danzo’s left eye was squinted when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight curve of disdain.

Hiruzen spewed out the smoke and said: “Okay, I will report your name to the Daimyo! But before that, I have one more thing to discuss with you!”

“What’s the matter?” Fugaku looked at him vigilantly, feeling that Hiruzen was about to dig a hole for him again.

“It is about the two heroes of the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Uchiha Obito and Kakashi…”

Then Hiruzen talked about Obito and Kakashi.

Danzo’s one eye was lowered, and he thought that besides him, Konoha finally has another person with transplanted Sharingan.

Hiashi next to him continued to be silent. As for Uchiha Fugaku, his face was ugly at this moment.

‘Uchiha Obito, that little bastard, he actually gave the clan’s Kekkei Genkai, Sharingan as a gift?’

‘Who is he joking?!’

“Sandaime Hokage-sama!”

Fugaku suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, “As the Clan Head of Uchiha Clan, I absolutely will never allow Sharingan to be passed on to outsiders!”

“Kakashi is the hero of the village, is he also an outsider?” Hiruzen asked rhetorically.

“Kakashi is the Shinobi of the village, not the Shinobi of Uchiha Clan!” Uchiha Fugaku said coldly.

“Is this your awareness of competing for the position of Yondaime Hokage?”

Hiruzen shouted coldly, “For Hokage, whether it is Uchiha or Hyuga, or even just that ordinary civilian Shinobi, they are all are Konoha’s Shinobi and should be treated the same! But you call the village’s Shinobi other than Uchiha Clan’s Shinobi outsiders! In your heart, only Uchiha Clan is the most important, and Konoha is just a tool you use to make profits for the Uchiha Clan, so what qualifications do you have to compete for the Yondaime Hokage’s position?!”

Faced with Hiruzen’s questioning, Fugaku’s face turned green and white, and he understood what’s going on. If he disagreed with Kakashi owning the Sharingan, then he won’t be able to compete for Yondaime Hokage’s position, and the Uchiha Clan can only stay obediently and honestly in the Military Police Force!

‘If this is the case, then wouldn’t all the clansmen who died on battlefield died in vain?’

‘If I choose to agree…’

‘I’m unwilling!’

Fugaku closed his eyes, and when he opened them, they had turned into red 3 tomoe Sharingan.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the friend who died to save him…

“I understand.”

Fugaku stared at Hiruzen, and said word by word, “I will guarantee that Uchiha Clan will not make things difficult for Kakashi because of this incident!”

Hiruzen solemnly put down his pipe and said: “Uchiha Clan is Konoha’s Uchiha Clan. Only if you understand this can you qualified to compete for the Yondaime Hokage’s position. I am glad that you can make the right decision.”

Fugaku said nothing, nodded and then turned to leave.

“Then, I’ll take my leave too.” Hiashi stood up and said.

Hiruzen was a little surprised and asked: “Clan Head Hiashi, are you not going to compete for the Yondaime Hokage’s position?”

Hiashi shook his head: “No need.”

After saying that, Hiashi left the office.

“So, what about you?” Hiruzen raised his head and looked towards Danzo.

Danzo put on a serious face, and said righteously: “Hiruzen, no matter what you think of me, everything I do is for the future of Konoha!”

…

Fugaku returned to the Military Police Force’s headquarters and immediately issued a notice, ordering all the Shinobi in the clan to gather at Naka Shrine at 7pm, and no one should be absent.

The Uchiha Clan’s ancestral land of in Naka Shrine.

When the sky darkened, groups of two and three Uchiha Clan’s Shinobi slowly gathered.

By seven o’clock in the evening, all the Shinobi of the Uchiha Clan had gathered here.

Shisui also sat in the last row, quietly looking at Fugaku, who is sitting at the leader’s seat.

Fugaku didn’t talk too much, and immediately told them about Kakashi owning Obito’s Sharingan and ordered all the clansmen not to target Kakashi because of this matter.

Fugaku is young and vigorous, coupled with his amazing skill and powerful strength he displayed in the war, he is now the undisputed leader of the Uchiha Clan. When he issued an order, the people below will naturally not disobey… unless it is something they can’t accept.

But Obito is an orphan, has no friends in the clan, and his only grandmother has already passed away, so Uchiha Clan was able to hold back!

After that, Fugaku said that Hiruzen is about to resign from Sandaime Hokage’s position, and he has signed up to compete for the Yondaime Hokage’s position.

As soon as these words came out, the clansmen below all started discussing excitedly.

“Our Uchiha Clan has sacrificed so many people on the battlefield, and it finally pays off!”

“The Yondaime Hokage’s position will finally be in our Uchiha Clan’s hand!”

“Only our Uchiha Clan can lead Konoha to the future!”

Sitting in the last row, Shisui calmly watched the clansmen’s discussion, and sighed slightly in his heart. Now he has long been brainwashed by Kanpū, he believed that as long as the advisors like Danzo, Koharu, and Homura are still there, with just the ruling from the Daimyo’s side, Fugaku will not be able to get that position!

Become Yondaime Hokage? For the current Uchiha Clan, it’s just the moon reflected in the water.

Unfortunately, apart from him, the other clansmen can’t see the situation clearly.

“Everyone!”

Fugaku raised his hand and stopped the clansmen’s discussion below, and then said, “The importance of the next period of time to the clan is self-evident, so everyone must stick to their posts and absolutely do not let any accidents happen to the village!”

“Yes!” Everyone responded loudly.

“Shisui!”

Fugaku’s gaze passed through clansmen and fell on Shisui, who is in the last row, and said, “You will also join the patrol and be responsible for the outskirts of the village!”

“I understand.” Shisui responded.

When the meeting is over, the Uchiha Clan’s Shinobi dispersed one after another.

As Shisui walked, he unconsciously arrived at Kanpū’s home.

‘Should I ask Kanpū to come out for a chat?’

Shisui looked at the sky, and saw that it was already late, as it is past nine o’clock.

When he came to the backyard, he saw dim lights and some trivial sounds from the living room of Kanpū’s house.

“Hayate, it’s already past nine o’clock, hurry up and go to sleep!” This is Kanpū’s voice.

“Big brother, shouldn’t you sleep too?” Another voice with a bit of grievance was heard.

“I just woke up from a nap, so I didn’t feel sleepy.” Kanpū said with a snort.

“Big brother, I don’t feel sleepy either.” Hayate said with a grin.

“Is it because that I have been away for too long that you didn’t want to listen to me anymore? Are you trying to rebel!”

Across the wall, Shisui can feel Kanpū’s anger, and a series of roars was heard.

Shisui smiled slightly, and then suddenly thought of something, ‘Hayate, younger brother… Itachi?’

‘Itachi is the son of Clan Head-sama, maybe I can change Itachi to change the future of clan!’

Shisui turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
