Chapter 3 - Two Things That Must Be Done to Stop the Massacre!

  [Naruto Renj: [The only way is through Shisui. I can still have some influence internally since, currently, the Uchiha cn only has two Mangekyō Sharingan users.]

  Aside from Obito, who is wandering outside, and Uchiha Hikari, who is sealed away, the only Mangekyō users in Konoha’s Uchiha cn are Shisui and Fugaku.

  Uchiha Shisui isn’t blindly loyal to Konoha, but he’s somewhat naive, like a college graduate fresh out of school—pure and a bit foolish.

  He mistakenly believed the promises made by the elders and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

  He even revealed the ability of his Mangekyō Sharingan to the Third Hokage and Danzo.

  Think about it—Kotoamatsukami, an ability that can silently alter someone’s will. What do you think Hiruzen and Danzo thought about that?

  Let’s not even talk about Danzo’s greed for that power. Hiruzen was definitely wary. There’s no way he wasn’t afraid. Wouldn’t he fear Shisui silently changing his will?

  Absolutely!

  From the original story, when Minato Namikaze died in battle, Hiruzen could have chosen someone else to become Hokage. Instead, he took the position again. During Minato’s tenure, the ANBU remained firmly under Hiruzen’s control.

  Do you think he didn’t know about the things Danzo was doing?

  Hiruzen Sarutobi bears most of the responsibility for Konoha’s current state. If it weren’t for his constant indulgence, Danzo wouldn’t have been able to scheme behind the scenes.

  The death of the White Fang, the departure of the Sannin, forcing Hiashi’s brother to sacrifice himself, Minato’s death in battle—despite Minato entrusting Naruto to him, Hiruzen ter allowed Naruto to be isoted in the vilge, turning the son of a hero into the "demon fox."

  Ciming it was to protect Naruto’s identity, but beling him as the "demon fox" made it obvious to anyone with a brain that Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki. What kind of protection is that?

  So, in Renji’s eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi is not trustworthy.

  Tough on his own people, soft on outsiders—that’s the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

  From this, we can infer the three factions within the Uchiha cn: the conservatives, the neutrals, and the radicals.

  The conservatives lean toward peaceful coexistence and non-resistance. The radicals advocate for rebellion. The neutrals side with whoever is weaker.

  [Naruto Renj: [The neutrals are the most problematic right now. They’re the most annoying, constantly draining the Uchiha’s internal strength. The doves are a dead end, so we’ll have to side with the hawks!]

  Although Renji knows the chances of a successful rebellion are extremely low.

  An Uchiha rebellion isn’t just about overthrowing Hiruzen Sarutobi.

  It’s about overturning Konoha’s entire existing order.

  The Hyūga cn, the Ino-Shika-Chō trio—none of them would allow a cn that was once on equal footing with them to rise above them. Especially the Hyūga cn.

  Ever since the Senju cn integrated into Konoha and disbanded, the Hyūga and Uchiha cns have been competing for the title of Konoha’s strongest cn and whose dōjutsu is superior.

  Their retionship isn’t terrible, but it’s far from good.

  [Yokai Renj: [To side with the radicals, you need overwhelming strength. Otherwise, it’s impossible. And isn’t Shisui part of the doves? How are you going to deal with him? That Kotoamatsukami can hit you in an instant!]

  Kotoamatsukami, as it stands, is still an unstoppable ability. It can even override the control of the Edo Tensei.

  Most likely, you’d need stronger ocur power than Shisui’s to resist it. Mangekyō Sharingan of the same level would still be affected. So, only the Eternal Mangekyō and the Rinnegan are immune to Kotoamatsukami?

  Assuming that’s the case, how is he supposed to obtain the Eternal Mangekyō?

  Right now, he doesn’t even have a Mangekyō!

  [Mundane Renj: [How about taking my advice and just leeching off Tsunade?]

  [Zombie Renj: [Actually, it doesn’t have to be Tsunade. You could join the Hidden Mist. If it’s during Mei Terumī’s era, you could just leech off the Fifth Mizukage!]

  [One Piece Renj: [Wrong, wrong, wrong! I think you should go to the Hidden Cloud. They respect strength, and there’s a beauty like Samui there!]

  [Zombie Renj: [Wouldn’t you get crushed by A? I think the Hidden Stone is a better option. You could raise Kurotsuchi!]

  [Mundane Renj: [You’re all wrong! Have you forgotten about the strongest guy in the ninja world right now? That’s right, my big bro Nagato! Go for Konan. The Akatsuki is great!

  Konan can keep you company at night, Kisame can give you a back rub, Pain can buy rice, Itachi can cook, Deidara can take you to py with cy, and if you like toys, Sasori’s got you covered.

  If your clothes are torn, Kakuzu can fix them. If you’re in a bad mood, just beat up Hidan. Zetsu can purify the air, and if you make a significant contribution, you can even get a Tobi as a bonus!]

  Thinking about it, all the other options are just temporary. Only the Akatsuki is his true home!

  What kind of home is that?!

  [Naruto Renj: [Don’t you guys believe in me? What if I turn things around for the Uchiha cn?]

  Starting off by telling him to leech off someone feels a bit disrespectful.

  He feels like he can still fight back.

  [One Piece Renj: [It’s not that we don’t believe in you. It’s just too difficult. If you can save Shisui, I think the chances of success increase by at least 10%. If you can make Shisui see the true nature of Konoha’s higher-ups, the chances go up by another 20%. But the main issue is that you don’t have much say within the Uchiha cn right now. Even if you despise Fugaku for leading the Uchiha to their deaths, he’s still the cn head. He’s the one who decides everything!]

  To change the Uchiha cn’s current situation, two things must be done.

  First, Shisui’s eyes must not be taken by Danzo.

  Once they’re taken, the plot will follow the original story. All the pressure will fall on Itachi, and rumors will spread in the cn that he killed Shisui. Then, the radicals will take the initiative and prepare for rebellion.

  At that point, Itachi naturally won’t be able to stop it, so he’ll make a deal with Danzo and Hiruzen to wipe out the cn and spare Sasuke.

  Although Itachi’s actions of sughtering the entire cn are despicable, from Renji’s perspective, it’s either leaving Sasuke alive or having the entire cn die in battle, branded as traitors, and depleting Konoha’s strength in the process.

  So, Shisui must be saved. At the very least, his eyes must not fall into Danzo’s hands.

  Second, he must become the Uchiha cn head.

  Only by becoming the cn head can he have a voice and make most of the cn listen to him.

  Otherwise, all these pns are just empty talk.
