Chapter 36 - Chapter 36: The true cause of all this

"In that case, I'll tell you."

"But remember, this is something that must die with you, you cannot tell anyone!"

Mirai Uchiha warned, looking at Shisui Uchiha.

Seeing Mirai Uchiha's serious gaze, Shisui Uchiha tensed up unconsciously: "Don't worry, even if it costs me my life, I will keep the secret."

"The story begins..."

Seeing Shisui Uchiha's complete attention, Mirai Uchiha organized his words: "Before the founding of Konoha, ninjas existed in the form of clans, fighting each other for mercenary missions."

"The Hyūga clan, the Sarutobi clan, the Shimura clan, the Hozuki clan, the Uzumaki clan..."

"Among them, the two most powerful ninja clans were the Senju of the Forest and the Uchiha clan."

"If someone hired the ninjas of one clan, the enemy side would surely hire those of the other clan to confront them."

"Over time, both clans became sworn enemies, each wishing for the other's annihilation."

"This situation continued until Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha became the leaders of their respective clans, and only then was there an improvement."

"So that young children would no longer have to keep fighting and dying, the two joined forces and swept through everything, establishing the 'one country, one village' system."

"And thus, the Village of Konoha was born."

Shisui Uchiha listened intently to Mirai Uchiha's account, his eyes full of astonishment.

Although these things were recorded in the clan's secret scrolls, he had not yet had access to them.

Mirai Uchiha's words made him feel as if his eyes were being opened to a new world.

"After the founding of Konoha, Hashirama Senju was chosen as the First Hokage."

"After living there for a while, Madara Uchiha keenly realized that the system they had created had great flaws and that, over time, it would inevitably breed darkness, so he decided to leave Konoha."

"It is worth mentioning that when Madara Uchiha left Konoha, he called on the members of the Uchiha clan to leave with him, but the clan members, already accustomed to a stable life, did not follow their former leader."

"They already considered themselves members of the village."

So that's what happened!

Shisui Uchiha was a little confused. If back then all the clan members preferred to betray Madara Uchiha to stay in the village, why had the situation become like this now?

As if noticing Shisui Uchiha's confusion, Mirai Uchiha continued: "Later, after the death of Hashirama Senju, the much-supported Tobirama Senju became the Second Hokage."

"Unlike Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju was extremely hostile towards the Uchiha clan."

"'The evil Uchiha'... that was a phrase Tobirama Senju often said."

"Under Tobirama Senju's policies, the Uchiha clan was gradually excluded from the village's central circle of power, and the Uchiha clan district was relocated to the outskirts of Konoha Village."

"To prevent future generations of Uchiha from aspiring to the position of Hokage, Tobirama Senju established the Konoha Military Police Force and handed over all authority over the village's security to the Uchiha clan."

Hearing this, Shisui Uchiha raised his right hand: "Mirai-senpai, entrusting the village's security to the Uchiha clan, isn't that a sign of trust in our clan?"

Mirai Uchiha shook his head: "Shisui, you are too naive."

"Most of the ninjas in our clan are not good with words, and what they are thinking often turns into the opposite when they express it."

"Tobirama Senju realized this, and that's why he had the Uchiha clan establish the Konoha Military Police Force."

"The real security of the village is handled by the ANBU, which answers directly to the Hokage. The so-called 'maintaining order' mostly consists of handling the villagers' various trivial matters."

"Regardless of whether they are handled fairly or not, they will always attract the hostility of some villagers."

"Over time, the relationship between the Uchiha clan members and the common villagers deteriorated more and more."

"Tobirama Senju gave the Uchiha clan a sword, only the blade was turned towards us."

Hearing Mirai Uchiha's account, Shisui Uchiha felt as if he suddenly understood everything.

His mind cleared considerably in an instant.

No wonder the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the villagers kept getting worse, and no matter how hard they tried, the results were minimal! The root of the problem was here!

If this was the truth, then wasn't it all a conspiracy by the Second Hokage?

After silently waiting for Shisui Uchiha to reflect for a while, Mirai Uchiha took a sip of tea and continued his explanation.

"Later... before he died, Tobirama Senju directly designated Hiruzen Sarutobi as his successor to the position of Hokage."

"The so-called Jōnin voting system became a sham. As founders of the village, the Uchiha clan completely lost their voice."

"After Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, heirs to Tobirama Senju's ideology, came to power, the oppression against the Uchiha clan became more and more evident, leading to the current situation."

"Shisui, that is the truth of the matter, whose fault do you think it is?"

Hearing Mirai Uchiha's question, Shisui Uchiha was silent for a moment and then said firmly: "It's the village's fault!"

Things were clear.

The cause of the current tense situation between the village and the Uchiha clan was entirely the prejudice of the Second Hokage and his successors.

"That's why trying to change the Uchiha clan is a useless effort." Mirai Uchiha said in a grave voice. "What really needs to change is Konoha!"

"My eyes have already seen the future. If this continues, the Uchiha clan will eventually walk the path to its extinction."

"Mirai-senpai, then, what should we do?"

Shisui Uchiha was somewhat alarmed.

Now all the power in the village was in the hands of the Third Hokage. How could they change something as colossal as the village?

"The method is simple."

"As long as we have absolute power, everything will change as it should."

Seeing Mirai Uchiha's serene expression, Shisui Uchiha said, horrified: "Mirai-senpai, do you mean to... lead an Uchiha rebellion?"

"Shisui, if it fails, it's called a rebellion; if it succeeds, it's called a revolution."

"But... with our strength, can we really be a match for the village?"

"Besides, if a coup d'état is launched, many people will die."

Hearing Shisui Uchiha's concern, Mirai Uchiha let out a light snort: "Shisui, you must remember that all the fault lies with them."

"They were the ones who pushed us into this dead end."

"Besides, with me here, things might not be as serious as you imagine. When we can demonstrate a strength that makes the Hokage's faction despair, they will crumble on their own."

Seeing Mirai Uchiha's confidence, Shisui Uchiha felt he had been completely captivated by his companion's greatness.

He had never imagined that, inside this young man who was not much older than him, hid a fierce and imposing tiger!

"Alright, you know everything now. Now tell me what you think."

Mirai Uchiha looked at Shisui Uchiha and asked with a smile.

"Mirai-senpai, I will strive to become stronger, so that the assets you hold can become even greater!"

Shisui Uchiha bowed his head to the ground, performing a dogeza before Mirai Uchiha.

Seeing his gesture, Mirai Uchiha silently withdrew the hand that had been near his waist.

Shisui Uchiha was just the beginning.

Sooner or later, under his leadership, the entire Uchiha clan would become an illustrious ninja clan that the entire shinobi world would look up to!
