Konoha Sheriff

Yes, looking at the three great ninja wars, what if at least two ninja villages did not unite to attack Konoha?

Not only did Konoha not gain peace by distributing the tailed beasts to the major ninja villages, but it also suffered heavy casualties because of the tailed beasts sent out...

"Then what is the right thing to do? What can we do to bring permanent peace to Konoha?"

The more Zhisui thought about it, the more confused his mind became. After all, he was born in the ninja world. He was a ninja who devoted himself to studying how to kill people at a young age. It made him feel like he had seen so many historical lessons in his previous life. Beichen, who had received higher education, looked at him like a god. It was too difficult for him to look at the problem from his perspective.

"You have to understand one thing, Shisui. Nothing in this world is eternal. Eternal peace can only be a beautiful fantasy. All we can do is maintain peace as much as possible... or we must look away from the future. Move to now."

Beichen did not want to discuss too much on such an overly idealistic topic - even the highly civilized society in the previous life could not achieve permanent peace, and it was even more difficult to discuss this topic in the current war-torn and conspiratorial ninja world. It makes sense.

Beichen's meaningful words successfully brought back Zhishui's drifting thoughts.

Without Beichen's guidance, Zhishui thought of what Beichen really wanted to say.

The great Senju Hashirama cannot be regarded as a successful Hokage from the perspective of the village's interests, so can the patriarch Fugaku be regarded as a successful clan leader from the perspective of the family's interests?

With this thought in mind, I review Fugaku’s various operations since he became the clan leader:

He almost bets his family's future on the Fourth Hokage and his wife;

Kyuubi Night gave up the operation to suppress Kyuubi just because of a word from the root;

Faced with the family relocation policy issued by Konoha's high-level officials, he did not make any resistance;

In the face of the hawkish forces in the clan, he bowed his head and surrendered;

Regardless of the attitude and opinions of the clan members, he sent Uchiha Itachi, whom everyone thought was the "future clan leader", to the ANBU without any notice to serve as a double agent...

Recalling Fugaku's heavy operations, Shisui's cheeks couldn't help but twitch.

If the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, did nine right things, but the merits and demerits were offset by one wrong thing, then Fugaku...he seemed to be unable to pick out one of the ten things that was right.

"Do you understand?" Beichen looked at Zhishui with a half-smile.

Shisui nodded hesitantly:

"Some of the choices made by the patriarch are indeed difficult to describe..."

"Yes, Chief Fugaku's attitude towards the younger members of our clan is indeed good, but his excessive idealism and indecisiveness at the political level doomed him to be unable to lead Uchiha further in this special period..."

Having said this, Beichen suddenly stood up and walked to Zhishui's side, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder:

"So, in this case, we need to make efforts."

"Us?" Zhisui pointed at himself. He felt a little stunned at first, and then showed an expression of ecstasy.

His previous intuition was indeed correct. Beichen was not one of those hawks. Like himself, he sincerely hoped that his family and the village could coexist peacefully.

"That's right, it's us!" Beichen, who had rich workplace experience in his previous life, was very sure that Zhi Shui had no objection to his words, so he said simply:

"It is almost impossible to change the current situation of the family by oneself. Therefore, if you want to change the family, you and I must work together!"

In fact, changing the family is only a small part of Beichen's plan.

He knew better than anyone that the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha could not be eliminated just because of changes in the family.

But he didn't intend to reveal all the truth in one breath. After all, Shisui had been brainwashed by the Will of Fire for most of his life, and the topic raised today was enough for him to digest for a while.

If the output continues, it would be too much and not enough.

…………

Listening to Beichen's impassioned words, Zhishui's face clearly showed a look of excitement, but after all, there was a trace of concern:

"But what should we do with the Fugaku clan leader? After all, he has been the clan leader for so long, and he is still kind to you and me..."

"What are you thinking about?" Beichen couldn't help but touch Zhisui's shoulder: "I've already said that I don't have any unfavorable thoughts towards the clan leader. My status as police minister is enough for me to operate."

Beichen really didn't have any unfavorable thoughts towards Fugaku, a good old man. As long as Fugaku didn't even obscurely cause trouble for him, he still hoped that this big wretch who was killed by his own son would come to a good end.

"Ah?" Zhisui was stunned for a moment, and then the last bit of hesitation in his heart was completely eliminated.

"Great, Beichen, I knew you were definitely not that kind of person... No, I must tell Itachi the good news!"

Zhisui didn't know whether he was used to getting along with Itachi, or he was so happy that he lost his mind, but he subconsciously talked about Itachi again.

Seeing Zhishui pacing back and forth excitedly in his yard, Beichen couldn't help but shook his head in his heart.

No wonder Shisui was so easily plotted by Danzo in the original work. This is so heartless!

"I just told you that you should learn to see things from other people's perspective, so you forgot all about it?"

Although Beichen felt that Itachi, the "big filial son", would probably agree with his plan in his heart after hearing his plan, he did not intend to take Itachi Uchiha to play with him.

He had already chosen [Kill in advance], which already meant that he and Itachi were on opposite sides.

Beichen had no intention of being merciful towards his enemies, nor did he intend to let Shisui and Itachi, who had already joined his camp, continue to be together.

However, he wouldn't directly say something with low emotional intelligence such as never telling Itachi. In vain, he lowered his own character and easily made Shisui murmur in his heart.

It was just right to speak like this, not to sound petty but also to wake Shisui up just right and make him realize the problem.

"Forehead……"

Sure enough, after hearing Beichen's words, Zhisui thought for a moment, and the smile on his face immediately froze.

Yes, how could you tell Itachi such a thing?

Even putting aside the conflict between Itachi and Beichen, Itachi is also the biological son of the Fugaku clan leader.

Although they have no intention of usurping Fugaku's position as clan leader, what they want to do next is to actually divide Fugaku's power as the clan leader.

No matter how reasonable Itachi was, he couldn't join them in dividing his father's power with a smile on his face.

"But Itachi is also a person who has the same ideals as us. Will it be possible to keep hiding it from him..."

Zhishui wanted to fight for it again, but Beichen didn't intend to give him such a chance, so he directly made a tea-related speech:

"If he can really put his ideals above family ties, then after we resolve everything, he will surely understand what we have done."
