Naruto: Dual System Power At The Beginning

"Shisui, you are a member of the Uchiha clan who has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. It is only right that you ascend to the position of Hokage."

"In terms of merit and family influence, our Uchiha clan deserves to have a Hokage, and you, Shisui, are the perfect candidate." Ryosuke suggested at this moment.

In his eyes, he just needed to improve his own strength, stabilize the overall situation, and slay any enemies that come. Managing the village could be left to the clansmen, and Shisui was undoubtedly a good choice.

Hearing Ryosuke's words, Shisui couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart. He had never thought about becoming Hokage, especially since he was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Historically, there probably hasn't been a Hokage this young. However, this did give him a glimpse into Ryosuke's ambitions.

He tried to persuade the other to change his perspective. "Ryosuke, be careful with your words. If this reaches the ears of the higher-ups, it might provoke infighting within the village, and Konoha could fall into great disaster."

Ryosuke, however, said helplessly, "Shisui, don't you think our Uchiha clan's power is very strong? Don't you think we can lead Konoha on a path to prosperity? What the Third Hokage can do, our Uchiha clan can do even better."

"For the development of the village, our Uchiha clan should step forward."

"For example, in this incident with the Hidden Cloud Village, if our Uchiha clan hadn't stepped up, Konoha might have had to sacrifice a member of the Hyuga clan this time, which would have been a huge embarrassment."

Hearing this, Shisui felt a bit suppressed. He naturally knew the inside story of why the Hidden Cloud Village and Konoha had gone to war.

He thought Ryosuke had done the right thing. But Ryosuke was indeed too radical, not considering the consequences of the Uchiha clan taking power.

He slowly said, "Ryosuke, I really like your statement that for the development of the village, the Uchiha clan should step forward."

"The Uchiha clan indeed deserves the position of Hokage, but the higher-ups will not easily give up their power, which will inevitably lead to conflict, so it's better to let go of such thoughts."

"For the peace of the village, the Uchiha clan is now the top family in the village, and there's no need to fight for these empty titles."

Hearing this, Ryosuke felt that Shisui was a selfless person who valued peace. Such a person is indeed admirable, but such concessions cannot solve problems.

He couldn't help but say, "Even if our Uchiha clan is willing to compromise, can the Konoha higher-ups tolerate us?"

"Shisui, you are too naive."

In the original storyline, after the Konoha higher-ups, specifically Danzo, learned of Shisui's abilities, they moved against him to take his eyes.

Shisui actually thought that committing suicide could avoid conflict between the Uchiha clan and the higher-ups, but instead, his suicide provoked dissatisfaction within the Uchiha clan, leading them to prepare for an uprising.

In the village, who else could move against a genius like Shisui, if not Danzo and the Third Hokage?

Then the Uchiha clan would have no choice but to rebel, and the Konoha higher-ups, having done such a thing, would have no choice but to eliminate the Uchiha clan.

In conflicts, there is no such thing as a sudden end.

Shisui, of course, understood the other's words; he was indeed very naive.

He just really didn't want to see the clansmen and the higher-ups fighting, as it would be bad for both the village and the Uchiha clan.

'Was there really no good solution?'

Seeing Shisui's troubled expression, Ryosuke felt that Shisui was better than a traitor like Itachi, and couldn't help but continue, "Shisui, join us."

"With you and me working together, not only can we bring peace to Konoha, but we can also bring peace to the entire ninja world."

"If any village wants to start a war, then we will step in to uphold justice. Isn't this what you've always wanted? To bring peace to Konoha?

"With you and me working together, who in the entire ninja world could stop us?"

With Shisui's Kotoamatsukami brainwashing technique and his own combat power, indeed no one could stop them.

Hearing this, Shisui's heart was somewhat moved.

From his previous fight with Ryosuke, he had seen how formidable Ryosuke was. He had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and was undoubtedly a Kage-level powerhouse, but Ryosuke still gave him a sense of oppression, proving the other's strength.

"Then how do you plan to deal with the village higher-ups?"

Seeing that the other was somewhat persuaded, Ryosuke was also happy in his heart.

"As for the handling of the Konoha higher-ups, our Uchiha clan is quite generous. As long as they step down peacefully, I naturally won't target them."

"Also, I want to tell you something. During the war between our clan and the Hidden Cloud Village, there was a suspected leak of information from the higher-ups. Not only our Uchiha clan but even the Hyuga clan will not let this person go."

"Aside from this person, we won't target other ninjas. Those who are capable will rise."

"Shisui, you should agree with this, right?"

Shisui's face couldn't help but show surprise. He was surprised not only because Ryosuke was willing to generously handle the Konoha higher-ups but also because of the matter of the traitor. He couldn't help but question, "How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible."

"Perhaps the higher-ups were dissatisfied with my performance in the Hidden Cloud Village incident, or perhaps they see the Uchiha clan as a thorn in their side. But this time, our Uchiha clan defeated the Hidden Cloud Village, undoubtedly making us the heroes of Konoha."

"As heroes, we are being targeted like this. Shisui, what do you think I should do?"

Shisui was speechless. He knew the other was unlikely to deceive him.

Because this time, the higher-ups only sent these two clans to war. To be honest, if he hadn't been on the Hokage's side, as an Anbu, he would have been very dissatisfied.

Now, with the matter of the traitor, his balance was tilting more towards the clan's side.

He sighed lightly. "Let's forget it, Ryosuke. It's better to strive for a harmonious relationship between the village higher-ups and the Uchiha clan. Collisions are actually very hard to control, and a slight misstep could lead to large-scale casualties."

In his heart, he still preferred no conflict, resolving disputes peacefully.

Seeing that the other was still like this, Ryosuke felt no dissatisfaction. This was just how the other was.

Hoping for reconciliation between the village higher-ups and the Uchiha clan, but how could that be possible?

But as long as the other party wasn't on the side of the Konoha higher-ups, Ryosuke felt good. 'Indeed, there were very few traitors in the clan.'

Then he also said, "Shisui, you must not tell the Konoha higher-ups about your Mangekyō Sharingan, especially the unique eye techniques of your two Mangekyō Sharingan."

"I know, after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, the Uchiha clan members have specialized eye techniques."

"Given the current state of the Uchiha clan, if you expose this, the higher-ups will not let you go."

"After all, they are worried you might side with the clan and will definitely try to eliminate you."

Shisui sighed slightly. The Third Hokage had treated him quite favorably. "The Third Hokage would not move against me; your worry is a bit excessive."

As for Danzo, he didn't say anything. He had heard of Danzo's methods.

He knew the other handled various dark matters in Konoha; such a person had to be ruthless to do such things.

Perhaps this guy might move against him; he really should be careful.

Seeing Shisui like this, Ryosuke knew the other didn't quite believe what he said. He didn't want to see Shisui end up like this, especially since he realized the other was on the clan's side; he welcomed it.

He said with a grave expression, "Why not? If you were on the opposite side of the clan, my enemy, possessing power far beyond our Uchiha clan, I would definitely try every means to eliminate you."

"The reason I'm saying such heavy words is to warn you."

Hearing this, Shisui couldn't help but be stunned. 'Is it really necessary to go to such lengths? Perhaps.'

"Alright, Ryosuke, I'll listen to you and be more careful."
