Chapter 13 : Hiruzen’s Deception!!
"Is there something wrong with the clan?"
Uchiha Shisui's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected the Third Hokage to still be concerned about the Uchiha issue. This made him more cautious.
He quickly responded, "In recent years, the Uchiha clan has felt neglected by Konoha because of the Fourth Hokage. Some members are upset, but don't worry. I'll do my best to help them move past their anger!"
As a highly skilled Uchiha, Shisui had always represented his clan with pride. But looking at the situation now, it seemed the Third Hokage was disappointed with the Uchiha clan, which led to his question.
Shisui felt a bit anxious.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shisui, sighed, and said with a touch of feigned sadness, "I understand that the Uchiha clan may be upset due to Konoha's actions over the years. But Shisui, you need to know that Konoha isn't intentionally targeting the Uchiha clan. The clan's tendency toward violence and aggression is causing concern, and to keep the peace, the Uchiha clan are being temporarily restrained."
"I appreciate your understanding, and I will work hard to help my clan members see things differently," Shisui replied earnestly.
He realized that since the Third Hokage was discussing this issue with him, there was still hope for the Uchiha clan's future.
For the sake of both the clan and the village, Shisui was determined to instill positive values in the Uchiha and help them earn the village's trust once again.
After hearing Shisui's words, the Third Hokage nodded with satisfaction. His tone softened as he said, "Don't worry, Shisui. I will ensure that capable and stable members of the Uchiha clan are promoted within Konoha, and they will help change the village's perception of the Uchiha."
"And I'll work to shift the views of Konoha's higher ups regarding the Uchiha clan."
