Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 611: Incoming Trouble!

Uchiha Clan.

While Kuroto was going through the history of the Hyuga Clan, a Clan meeting was being convened at the Uchiha Clan.

Patriarch Fugaku sat in the middle of the hall with his arms folded over his chest, and with a rigid expression on his face, he observed every Uchiha shinobi present in the assembly.

Several major changes have happened in the village in a very short time such as the resignation of Sarutobi Hiruzen as the Sandaime Hokage, then the appointment of Shimura Danzo as the temporary Hokage Agent along with several other things, in order to discuss strategies on how to cope with all these changes, this meeting has been convened by Fugaku.

Originally, Shisui just came to the Uchiha territory to take care of some tedious things before heading off to the Ninja Academy, but as soon as his presence was noticed inside the Uchiha Clan territory, he was summoned by Fugaku to attend the meeting.

Although Shisui was in an extreme hurry, in the face of Fugaku’s order, Shisui was sort of helpless and had no choice but to come to attend the meeting.

After a while, everyone was settled and several issues were discussed, Fugaku turned towards Shisui and questioned in a deep voice, “Shisui, I have received reliable news that you are one of the three candidates for the position of the Principal of the Ninja Academy… is that correct?”

As soon as other Uchiha clansmen heard Fugaku’s words, they were all surprised and then became excited.

Back when Nidaime Hokage Senju Tobirama came into power, the Uchiha Clan was confined within the Konoha Military Police Force, and since then, regardless of how many sacrifices Uchiha Clan makes for the sake of the village, regardless of how much an Uchiha contribute to the Village in times of war or through any other means, and regardless of how much strength and prestige an Uchiha shinobi earned, his ultimate destination would be the Konoha Military Police Force. No matter what the Uchiha Clansmen tried, they were not allowed to enter other administration departments.

But now that Shisui has become one of the three candidates for the position of the Principal of the Ninja Academy, this undoubtedly shows the time when the Uchiha Clan will be breaking out of these chains, and confinements are coming… The Hokage faction has to relent and allow the Uchiha Clansmen to enter other administration departments. This means that Uchiha will truly be able to become part of the village and no longer remain so isolated… hence the excitement.

Even before Shisui could nod or deny, Fugaku continued in an unquestionable tone, “Shisui, you must get the position of the Principal of the Ninja Academy… it is very important to the Uchiha Clan.”

Even the other Uchiha Clansmen were directing ardent gaze towards Shisui…

In the face of everyone’s burning gazes, Shisui shook his head with an embarrassed expression, “I am sorry everyone… Patriarch, just before I returned back to the clan territory, the person who will be holding the position of the Principal of the Ninja Academy has been determined… Kuroto-san from the Hyuga Clan has been chosen as the principal…”

“What?!” Fugaku frowned upon hearing this news, and he couldn’t help but be disappointed… Although he wanted to question some things from Shisui, considering his prestige, he chose not to do so at this moment…

But the other Uchiha clansmen were not the same as Fugaku, and they immediately started clamoring, “From the Hyuga Clan? What qualifications do they have? How dare they compete with us Uchiha…! They are just sensor-class…!”

“Damn it… it’s Hyuga Kuroto again…! A few years ago, too, it was Hyuga Kuroto who defeated Shisui in the Special Jonin exam… then it was him again who defeated Shinichi and Hiiragi… every time this Hyuga Kuroto interferes…!”

“Not just him, it must be the strategy of the Hokage Faction… they just wanted us to think that Shisui might get the position of the Principal of the Ninja Academy, but in reality, they don’t want the Uchiha Clan to get out of the Konoha Military Police Force… this is why they deliberately gave the position to the Hyuga Kuroto… otherwise, what qualification does he have against Shisui? Hyuga Kuroto wouldn’t even be able to handle Itachi… let alone Shisui…!”

“Yes… we can’t accept such a decision… this is clearly discrimination and suppression of the Uchiha clan! If we give in here, the Hokage Faction will again start to push us to the corner of the village!”

As different people started to let out their dissatisfaction, the meeting hall became noisy with curses for the Hokage faction, Hyuga Clan, Hyuga Kuroto, and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Seeing that the situation was turning worst every second, Shisui hurriedly tried to explain, “Don’t take it the wrong way… even if I was given the position, I would have taken the initiative to give up the position of the Principal of the Ninja Academy because I believe Kuroto-san can do the job much better compared to me… it had nothing to do with Hokage faction trying to suppress the Uchiha Clan or anything…”

“Shisui…! You don’t need to force yourself to give us an explanation…”

“Humph… do you think we will believe this bullshit? And what are you talking about ‘he can do the job much better compared to me?’ do you think he is better than the Uchiha Clan?”

“Shisui, stop taking the side of the Hokage faction every time, even you know what they few us Uchiha!”

Everyone within the Uchiha Clan knows that Shisui takes the side of the Hokage faction (according to them), so no one within the Clan accepted his explanation, they didn’t even bother to listen to him.

According to the Uchiha Clansmen, the Hokage faction just didn’t want the Uchiha Clan to get involved in other administrative units of the village, as such, they didn’t give the position to Shisui, who is the most qualified. And the explanation Shisui is giving is all a lie, he is taking the responsibility on his shoulders to dispel everyone’s dissatisfaction.

Seeing that the situation wasn’t going anywhere, Shisui was left with no other choice but to sigh and sit back with a helpless expression on his face.

At this time, one of the radical Uchiha spoke to Fugaku, “Patriarch, we must not accept this decision… we must do something so that the position of the Principal of the Ninja Academy is handed over to Shisui…”

Incited by the radical Uchiha, another Uchiha stood up and said, “Yes, this is what our Uchiha Clan deserve… the current Uchiha Clan has five Mangekyou Sharingan users, the village has to learn to not respect us for our strength… compared to us Hyuga Clan is nothing, they don’t deserve this position!”

Obviously, this Uchiha Shinobi counted two Homusubi, masked Uchiha of the Akatsuki, Shinichi, and Shisui when he spoke to five Mangekyou Sharingan users… From a certain perspective he is indeed correct, but to count all of them as Uchiha at this point in time is pretty idiotic…

However, strangely enough, all the Uchiha Clansmen except for a few smart ones present in the meeting hall agreed with him, they don’t seem to care about the fact that those five Mangekyou Sharingan users belonged to three different camps.

Even the Uchiha Patriarch, although he didn’t speak it outright and had a calm face, was very dissatisfied and unhappy by this decision.

The thought of a junior from the Hyuga Clan becoming the head of an administrative unit, and sitting in the same position as him, the captain of the Konoha Military Police Force didn’t make him feel very good in his heart.

Sitting in the corner of the meeting hall, listening to everyone’s contempt and ridicule of the Hyuga Clan and Kuroto, as well as, complaints and dissatisfaction towards the leaders of the Hokage faction, Itachi felt uneasy in his heart.

No one in Konoha is aware of the true power of Kuroto better than him and Shisui… The mere fact that Kuroto who was capable of evolving his Byakugan into Tenseigan, a higher level Dojutsu that was never even heard in the Shinobi World alone proves just how talented he is…

Moreover, the Tenseigan is not ‘just a higher level Dojutsu’ it’s a very powerful Dojutsu that can rival even the legendary Rinnegan, the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths.

The only reason why the Uchiha Clan can be as proud as they are is that Kuroto doesn’t seem to have any intention of earning false worship or reputation, otherwise, the current Hokage of Konoha would have been Kuroto without anyone opposing this decision.

Looking at all the Uchiha bad-mouthing Kuroto, he couldn’t help but really pity them… Itachi feels funny when he imagines their reaction if they were to learn that of the five Mangekyou Sharingan users, four are working for Kuroto and are considered his subordinates.

‘Hahaha… thankfully… Kuroto-san is broad-minded and doesn’t care about what other people think of him, otherwise…”

Thinking so, Itachi felt relieved in his heart… At the same time, the shortsightedness, arrogance, unneeded pride among the clansmen made worried about them

In the noisy hall, helpless Shisui and Itachi looked at each other with similar expressions on their face, and both shook their head with a sigh, as both of them could feel each other’s dilemma… Surrounded by the fanatical, radical, arrogant, and proud kinsmen, both of them felt out of place.

After a while of getting bored, the meeting finally ended, and as soon as it did, both Shisui and Itachi excused themselves, they didn’t want to stay here a minute longer as they felt sort of breathless and suffocation.

Coming to their secret training field, Itachi said to Shisui, “I searched through Sasuke’s memory… during his stay at the base of the Akatsuki Organization, Shinichi protected him and even gave him formal training…”

Hearing such news, Shisui wasn’t surprised, and said, “Shinichi was inserted into the Akatsuki Organization as a spy by Kuroto-san… in the future, when he leaves that organization, he will be able to return back to the village… his return will help us keep the radicals in control… and even if he doesn’t want to return back to the village, he can stay at Amatsukami’s base…”

Itachi nodded, “Hmm, I have started to think that the Uchiha Clan needs more calm and wise people… those who don’t just act on their emotions, rather think things through before speaking or doing things like Tsukihi-san… if Tsukihi-san were to join the Uchiha Clan maybe…”

However, before he could finish his words, suddenly the sound of rapid footsteps coming closer to them was heard which caused Itachi to stop midway, and look in the direction of the guest.

As Itachi and Shisui turned in the direction from where the sound of footsteps was heard, two children appeared out of the bushes and rushed straight towards Itachi.

The two kids were none other than Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Kiyomi…

Holding the breathless Sasuke and Kiyomi, Itachi crouched down and gently asked, “Sasuke, Kiyomi, what happened?”

After catching their breath, Sasuke was the one who spoke first… he pointed in the direction of the Uchiha Clan territory, and said with a worried expression, “Nii-san… some of our clansmen have gone in the direction of the Hyuga Clan with angry expression… They said they are going to teach a lesson to Neji’s Sensei…!”

Sasuke is actually not familiar with Kuroto, but because of his friendship with Neji, Sasuke knows that Kuroto is Neji’s Sensei, so he is sort of worried about him, and out of friendship with Neji, Sasuke wanted to help Neji’s Sensei.

Itachi was taken aback, “What?”

Kiyomi nodded with a serious expression, “Yes, Itachi-nii-san… I and Sasuke-nii-san were in the market with Mikoto-Kaa-chan, and suddenly seven-eight people from the clan started clamoring that they are going to teach someone named Hyuga Kuroto a lesson… Some elders tried to calm them, even Mikoto-Kaa-chan tried to stop them, but they didn’t listen and rushed out…

Currently, Mikoto-Kaa-chan has gone home to inform Fugaku-sama about this, and she sent the two of us to find Shisui-nii-san and you… so that the two of you can stop them before it’s too late…”

Shisui sighed with a helpless expression, “Sigh, why are they causing so much trouble…?”

Itachi had the same expression, and said, “Well, let’s take a look… I just hope that we have enough time to stop them before it’s too late.”
