Leading Naruto to Destroy the World - Chapter 59
The Uchiha clan was thrilled!
They celebrated for three days and three nights!
All because Danzo, who had been targeting them, was dead!
The Uchiha clan’s situation had improved dramatically.
Since the night of the Nine-Tails’ attack, the Uchiha clan had been forced to move to the outskirts of Konoha and constantly targeted by the village’s higher-ups.
Even within the village, they were often cursed behind their backs by the villagers.
Every Uchiha felt stifled!
The proud Uchiha clan, one of the founding families of Konoha, had fallen to such a low point.
For people as proud as the Uchiha, this was unacceptable.
Now, Mirai had finally avenged them!
He had killed Danzo and destroyed the Root!
Single-handedly, he had changed the dynamics of Konoha!
“Brother Mirai, I toast to you!”
Uchiha Inaho raised his cup in a tavern and downed it in one gulp.
With flushed cheeks and emboldened by the alcohol, he poured out his admiration for Mirai.
“I, Inaho, have never admired anyone in my life, but you, Mirai, are different. You might become a ninja like our ancestor Madara!”
This flattery from Inaho didn’t seem out of place to the surrounding Uchiha members like Shisui and Tekka.
Madara Uchiha was an ancestor from Konoha’s founding era, a ninja whose power was unmatched in the ninja world!
Except for Hashirama, he had never lost a battle in his life.
To compare Mirai to such a legendary ninja, they believed it was possible!
Uchiha Shisui smiled brightly.
He had made the right bet!
By aligning with Mirai, they were securing the future of the Uchiha clan!
Mirai had already proven his worth with his strength.
Binding the Uchiha clan to him was undoubtedly the right choice. When Mirai becomes the Fifth Hokage…
The Uchiha clan would be at the very core of Hokage’s power!
It might even be possible for the next Hokage to come from the Uchiha clan!
Among the celebrants, only one person had a complex expression and quietly drank alone, not participating in the discussions.
Uchiha Shisui.
The representative of the Uchiha’s moderate faction.
Mirai’s aggressive actions made him extremely worried.
Before Mirai came to the Uchiha clan, there were only two factions.
Shisui led the moderate faction, and Uchiha Setsuna led the radical faction.
Since Mirai’s arrival, a third major faction had emerged through his selection and training.
The Maniac faction!
The radicals thought the moderates were too weak, and the Maniac faction thought the radicals were too weak.
The Uchiha maniacs, trained by Mirai, constantly shouted about storming the Hokage’s office.
Every evening, you could see a group of Sharingan-wielding Uchiha training brutally by the Naka River, shouting things like “Restore the glory of the Uchiha!” and “Make the Uchiha great again!”
Shisui was worried about this.
As a moderate, he couldn’t agree with Mirai’s methods.
Shisui didn’t notice that Mirai had been observing him the entire time.
After the banquet, the deeply troubled Uchiha Shisui returned early, feeling lost.
He felt like he was standing at a vast crossroads, not knowing how to go.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks.
He stared at the blonde figure standing before him.
Mirai.
“Lord Mirai, is there something you need from me?”
Shisui had just spoken when Mirai moved, his large hand reaching out to attack.
Shisui’s pupils shrank, and he quickly distanced himself, the tomoe in his eyes spinning into a shuriken pattern.
A green ribcage appeared around his body.
“Lord Mirai, why are you attacking me?”
Shisui’s nerves were on edge as the reaching hand stopped mid-air.
“So Itachi was right, you really have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.”
Mirai looked at Shisui’s red eyes with interest.
The sudden attack was just to force Shisui to use the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Shisui’s heart sank.
He vaguely understood.
“It was Itachi who told you, wasn’t it?”
The information about his Mangekyou Sharingan had only been shared with Itachi.
Mirai smiled without answering, observing the wary Shisui.
“Shisui, you seem to disagree with my methods.”
Shisui’s heart skipped a beat.
He roughly guessed Mirai’s intention.
“I just hope that the village and the clan’s conflicts can be resolved through dialogue. Your methods seem too extreme.”
Shisui’s eyes were complicated.
He genuinely hoped for harmony between the village and the clan.
For mutual understanding and communication rather than conquering with force.
He didn’t want to see bloodshed from the village or the clan.
“Too naive.”
Mirai dismissed Shisui’s ideas.
“Understanding is built on strength. If you rely solely on dialogue and understanding, you’ll only find yourself in a passive position, becoming prey for others.”
“You see me using force to intimidate the higher-ups, but do you see them plotting to devour the Uchiha?”
“Only strength can make them sit down peacefully and discuss understanding.”
Mirai’s belief was simple.
He only believed in power.
Only the deterrence of power could bring about understanding and tolerance.
This was why he had focused on developing the Uchiha’s strength and personally trained the Uchiha members.
Suspicion, oppression, and targeting would disappear with the growth of strength.
At that point, the higher-ups would be begging for the Uchiha’s understanding, not the other way around.
Shisui remained silent.
He still couldn’t agree.
You are relying solely on force for peace.
Mirai’s words made Shisui’s body stiffen at that moment, his back cold.
“Your eyes should have the power to alter others’ wills, right? Maybe you should use those eyes to change my will.”
Shisui’s hands and feet turned cold, swallowing hard.
“Itachi told you about this too?”
Kotoamatsukami!
The ocular power residing in his eyes could alter others’ wills!
If he used Kotoamatsukami to change Mirai’s will, it might change the Uchiha’s direction.
Mirai calmly watched him, his blue eyes meeting Shisui’s shuriken-shaped Mangekyou Sharingan.
“There is no one else here. If you use it now, no one will know. So, will you use it?”
Mirai’s voice carried a hint of temptation, urging Shisui to use Kotoamatsukami on him.
Shisui held his breath, a bead of cold sweat slowly sliding down his forehead.
Facing Mirai, he felt immense pressure.
It was as if the air around him had solidified.
Finally, he shook his head.
“No, I won’t use Kotoamatsukami on you.”
Just because of differing ideologies, Shisui couldn’t alter someone’s will.
“A wise choice.”
Mirai looked at him deeply.
Altering will seem grand.
However, willpower is a cognitive process.
It is composed of various complex neural signals and electrical impulses.
The thinking pattern changes once the will changes, as do the neural impulses and brain magnetic fields.
Mirai was very aware of his brain’s magnetic field frequency. Using his electromagnetic abilities, he could correct abnormal neural impulses and restore his brain’s magnetic field to normal.
In other words, he could correct the adverse effects of Kotoamatsukami himself.
“Time will prove that my choice is correct.”
Mirai smiled slightly.
“Don’t worry, it won’t be long.”
Shisui’s related storyline has been thoroughly revised.
