If you can seize the Four-Tails, can you also seize the Nine-Tails?
The combination of the Nine-Tails and the Uchiha clan easily reminded him of one person.
He had witnessed that earth-shattering battle firsthand.
It's possible that another Madara Uchiha might appear in the Uchiha clan... but is it possible that another Hashirama Senju might appear...?
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew all too well that level of power was simply beyond the reach of ordinary ninjas.
The thought of eliminating Uchiha Kagami as soon as possible flashed through my mind.
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head inwardly, rejecting the idea.
If Uchiha Kagami were to die now, the Uchiha clan would definitely riot. Even the Uchiha clan members who were originally on his side would not accept such a thing.
Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated, then picked up Minato's letter again.
"Kagami is a person with the true Will of Fire who will bring peace to the ninja world."
I began to believe that he might be the prophesied child that Jiraiya-sensei was searching for.
To bring about a revolution in the ninja world!
From Jiraiya's youth, the Great Toad Sage prophesied that his disciple would become the savior.
Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi allowed Jiraiya to travel around in search of that possible disciple.
I thought... I thought the person Jiraiya was looking for was you, Minato.
But do you really think that person could be Jing...?
"What should I do... teacher..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the portrait of the previous Hokage hanging on the wall of his office.
Chapter 38 A Clan and a Village
Because the Land of Wind employed a defensive tactic, Orochimaru, unable to break through the enemy lines for a long time, had no choice but to retreat to his own defensive line.
On the other side of the western front, Onoki and the Third Raikage A are fighting in the Imperial City.
The fighting on the western front is temporarily suspended.
Therefore, Minato, who was originally scheduled to return to the western front immediately, was given a short leave to see where to send him based on the situation in various places.
At the same time, Uchiha Kagami's fame gradually spread.
The Iwagakure propaganda department deserves credit for this, but the Uchiha clan played a crucial role.
What is the Konoha Police Force?
Protecting Konoha, maintaining order, and punishing criminals are essentially a combination of city management officers, police, and a defense force.
Under the instruction of the divine fire, all the Uchiha in his faction spared no effort in promoting the fame of Uchiha Kagami.
The specific details are as follows.
Sweet Shop: Mr. Iron Heart, it's your turn to lead the patrol today!
Uchiha Tesshin: You've also heard that our clan's Uchiha Kagami defeated the Four-Tails and forced the Tsuchikage to retreat!
Flower shop owner: Brother Xiaoren, would you like to see our newly arrived chrysanthemums?
Uchiha Akatsuki: That's right. If Kagami had almost killed Onoki, we could have sent flowers to Iwagakure as a memorial offering.
Ramen shop: Four people, is that four bowls of noodles?
Uchiha: Yes, Kagami killed the Four-Tails. I heard that it has a new Jinchuriki now.
In summary, the current easing of tensions on the western front is all thanks to Uchiha Kagami's phenomenal performance.
A sunny and warm afternoon.
Mikoto Uchiha, carrying a child, came to visit.
"Shisui, take Itachi to play at the entrance."
In the courtyard, Uchiha Kagami leaned back in his recliner, studying Orochimaru's chakra activation technology.
"Excuse me, Grandma has difficulty moving around, and so do I. We won't serve tea to Madam Mikoto."
Mikoto glanced at the quiet child being held by Shisui, then turned and chuckled, "Kyo-kun, you're too kind. It was I who took the liberty of visiting you."
Uchiha Kagami stared intently and said calmly, "What do you want with me?"
He harbored deep malice towards both Fugaku and Itachi. If it weren't for the fact that Mikoto was Sasuke's mother, he wouldn't have let her into the house.
“Jingjun needs to rest and recuperate, so I’ll speak frankly.”
Mikoto looked troubled, but still spoke up: "You've heard about the rumors circulating in the village lately, haven't you, Kagami-kun..."
"Fugaku sent back a message, hoping that Kagami-kun and Elder Shinho would step in and restrain the clansmen."
Uchiha Kagami put down the notebook and turned his head slightly to look at Uchiha Mikoto.
Before marrying Fugaku, Mikoto was also a Jonin of the Uchiha clan with three tomoe, an elite among elites.
The intense gaze directed at her made her unable to look directly at it, and she instinctively looked away.
"You know why Fugaku said that, right?"
Taking a deep breath, Mikoto felt as if she were facing not a junior, but a powerful elder of the clan.
"There is a rift between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha leadership, which Fugaku has been working hard to bridge, and things have finally started to change in recent years."
"Isn't the Third Hokage's decision to have Jiraiya take in Kagami-kun a sign of reconciliation between the villages?"
"Fugaku and the Hokage are both working hard for this, so why should Kagami, who is a beneficiary, actively distance himself from the villagers?"
"You are a member of the Uchiha clan, and a ninja of Konoha. You should not be bound by narrow-minded clan views!"
"Compared to the village, even the Uchiha clan has no chance of standing up to it. Don't you understand?"
Mikoto finished saying what she wanted to say in one breath, afraid that if she stopped, she wouldn't be able to continue.
Uchiha Kagami's gaze was as still as a deep well, not stagnant water, but a deep, cold pool.
"In what capacity are you speaking to me?"
"...Naturally, in my capacity as the head of the Uchiha clan and captain of the Konoha Police Force!"
"On behalf of the Hokage, the villagers, and even the Uchiha clan, I am speaking to you!"
Uchiha Kagami chuckled softly.
"Now I'll say something."
"The reason why Fugaku is still the clan leader is simply because I have temporarily left the title to him."
"You are not qualified to represent the Uchiha."
"I don't care about the opinions of the villagers or the Hokage."
Uchiha Kagami rose slightly, his gaze like that of a drooling dragon, and an extremely chilling aura enveloped Mikoto.
"You should be grateful that you are a member of the Uchiha clan."
"Otherwise, I would have killed you already."
Uchiha Kagami's tone wasn't strong, but his chilling killing intent was unmistakable.
Mikoto felt as if she had been struck by a sudden gust of cold wind, and her body trembled involuntarily.
Those words were like sharp blades, piercing her heart. Her body trembled uncontrollably, like a leaf fluttering in a storm, fragile and helpless.
Uchiha Kagami turned around and raised the scroll again.
The terrifying aura receded like a flood, and apart from the ravaged Uchiha Mikoto, no one could sense what had happened.
"It's your business to become groveling rats, from now on..."
"Don't let me hear anything like that."
"This is the only time I will show you mercy."
At worst, we can find the reincarnation of Indra again. Uchiha Kagami will not allow Fugaku, a guy with an indecisive will, to enjoy power again.
If Fugaku could stand firmly on the Hokage's side, Uchiha Kagami might think more highly of him.
Even if they become dogs, at least the Uchiha clan can continue to exist.
As a result, he was coerced by his clansmen into rebellion and was captured on the eve of the uprising.
Is fatherly love great?
Why should thousands of Uchiha clan members risk their lives for your family?
"Brother! Itachi is crying!"
Shisui ran in carrying Itachi, who was still in swaddling clothes.
Uchiha Kagami glanced indifferently at the pale-faced Mikoto: "Mrs. Mikoto, take your son and leave."
“I understand… Farewell, Mirror.”
Shisui keenly noticed Mikoto's unusual behavior, and after the others had walked away, she leaned closer and asked.
"Brother, did you and Aunt Mikoto have a fight?"
Uchiha Kagami flipped through a few pages and said calmly, "Shisui, what's your view on the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village's higher-ups?"
Children in the ninja world mature early, and Shisui was a genius; he must have already developed his own ideas.
In the original timeline, Shisui was considered by Uchiha Kagami to be inferior even to Uchiha Itachi.
At least they made a choice, whether it was right or wrong.
But what about still water?
Danzo stole his Mangekyou Sharingan, but he didn't want to make a fuss, fearing it would escalate the conflict between the village and the Uchiha clan.
Unable to make a choice, she entrusted her eyes to Itachi and then committed suicide.
He never realized until his death that the higher-ups, led by the Third Hokage, had no intention of resolving the issue with the Uchiha clan; they only wanted to eliminate the Uchiha clan.
It wasn't because the Uchiha wanted to rebel, nor was it for any other messy reasons like being difficult to control.
This stems from the Second Hokage and the Konoha leadership's discrimination against the Uchiha clan!
The establishment of the Konoha Police Force was intended to force the Uchiha clan to isolate themselves from the villagers of Konoha.
Perhaps the Second Hokage eventually tried to accept the Uchiha clan and took one of their subordinates.
Kagami Uchiha wouldn't hold a grudge against Tobirama Senju, whose younger brothers were brutally murdered by the Uchiha.
Of course, they wouldn't feel ashamed, because Senju had also killed many Uchiha children.
There is no right or wrong, it's all about stance.
The Uchiha clan chose Kagami, so Kagami will naturally stand firmly on the clan's side.
"Brother, I..."
Chapter 39 The Three-Man Squad, Kosuke Maruboshi
Xiao Shishui revealed an innocent smile.
"I do not know."
"All I know is that no matter what decision my brother makes, I will stand by your side!"
"As indecisive as ever."
"Hehe, using your brain is too tiring. Grandma told me a long time ago that I should just listen to my brother!"
"Keep practicing treading water. If you can't walk skillfully in water within three days, don't even think about going out."
With a bitter face, Shisui walked helplessly toward the pool, turning back to look at it every step of the way.
Itachi is so cute, I want to go play with him...
Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, with a pipe in his mouth, stood before Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.
