"But Danzo had already taken up the position of Hokage's assistant and had countless Root members under his control."
"In order to maintain the stability of Konoha, the Third Hokage had to begin to tolerate Danzo."
"At that time, the Third Shinobi World War had just ended, and our Uchiha clan was frequently ostracized, with many members expressing dissatisfaction."
"The idea of reform is known to almost everyone. Even that kid Shisui used to trust the village."
"If Danzo hadn't insisted on taking Shisui's eyes first, our Uchiha clan might have already given up hope."
Fugaku knew Shisui's personality very well; in the past, Shisui was a complete peace lover.
When radicals and conservatives within the clan clashed, Zhishui was the most steadfast force supporting peace.
At that time, Fugaku didn't know what had gotten into him, but he wanted to try Kawasaki's method, and the result was unexpected.
Kawasaki perfectly countered Danzo's targeting of the Uchiha clan, successfully retaliating and even winning back Itachi, who had already harbored ulterior motives.
In subsequent battles between Kawasaki and Danzo, Danzo suffered a crushing defeat each time.
"So, the Uchiha clan relinquished power earlier to balance the situation?" Fugaku asked.
Kawasaki was gratified to see Fugaku begin to think deeply.
It should be noted that he only knew the intricacies of the situation because of his precognitive advantage.
The future development of a community cannot rely solely on the wisdom of one person; many hands make light work.
"Eliminate the threat of the Uchiha clan, relinquish the power of the Uchiha clan, escape the trap set by Tobirama the Second Hokage, and save the clan indirectly."
Kawasaki further explained.
After all, we Uchiha don't participate in J-police work anymore, so if the guards have problems, they can't blame us.
"Therefore, the Third Hokage was very willing to relinquish power in exchange for suppressing Danzo."
"Danzo was already difficult to control for the Third Hokage, so he helped us to punish Danzo."
"After Danzo's 'Root' was disbanded, the development speed of our Uchiha clan should have exceeded the Third Hokage's expectations."
Fugaku nodded.
Kawasaki's plans in the Land of Fields turned the entire Uchiha clan into a runaway horse, unstoppable... Hiro.
Chapter 92 The Senju Clan! Tsunade's Letter! The Nine-Tails' Rebellion! Masked Man Obito!
Fugaku thought for a moment and said, "So the team that Shisui and Itachi took can provide support to the Uchiha at any time outside the village, making the Third Hokage afraid to attack us?"
Kawasaki clapped his hands: "Yes."
Kawasaki asked Shisui and Itachi to take the men out, partly because he wanted to control the sudden change of so many people, as it would be too abrupt.
Secondly, it draws on the methods of Itachi Uchiha from the original world.
In the original world, let's set aside the matter of Itachi killing his clansmen.
The invisible threat he posed to the village after his defection deterred the people of Konoha from taking action against Sasuke.
But at that time, Itachi was alone, and he was also suffering from a terminal illness. In the end, he could only arrange everything and died at Sasuke's hands.
The situation is different now; the Uchiha clan still lives in Konoha.
For the safety of their clan, the team led by Shisui and Itachi was like a Damocles' sword hanging over Konoha.
If there is any change within the clan, the hundreds of Uchiha elites, each with two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, could retaliate at any time or defect to the enemy.
Fortunately, the third generation is now losing its fighting spirit.
They didn't expect the Uchiha clan to develop at such a rapid pace, leaving them no opportunity or time to launch a sneak attack.
In just a few years, the Uchiha clan has established itself firmly.
Kawasaki then said to Fugaku, "Faced with the ever-growing Uchiha clan, the Third Hokage was powerless to stop it."
"Because the Uchiha clan relinquished power, they don't even do many missions anymore, so their need for Konoha has decreased."
"The Third Hokage had no choice but to reinstate Danzo, allowing him to continue doing shady things against us."
Fugaku continued, "It's fortunate that you had your plan, otherwise Danzo would have failed."
Previously, the Uchiha clan had been on high alert, but they took the opportunity to completely break free from the control of the Konoha group and complete their independent plan, catching the Third Hokage off guard.
Kawasaki was not smug, after all, he knew what kind of person Danzo was.
"Now that the Uchiha clan is powerful, Danzo is no longer of any use to the Third Hokage."
"But Danzo is an insurmountable obstacle for the Uchiha clan if they want to return to Konoha and gain power."
"Although the Third Hokage initially inherited the Second Hokage Tobirama's policies toward the Uchiha clan in their entirety, he did his best to suppress the '870' Uchiha."
"But if the Uchiha launch a counterattack now, Konoha will be in grave danger. Therefore, Konoha dares not act rashly."
"I've wanted to invite Tsunade to the clan as a medical advisor for a long time, but that was to balance the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha."
"And now?" Fugaku asked.
"When I went to Otogakure to see Orochimaru, I learned that the Third Hokage had sent Jiraiya to contact Orochimaru and even intended to bring Orochimaru back."
"The Third Hokage did this not out of old friendship, but to strengthen his forces to fight against the Uchiha, which is why he went to Orochimaru."

"Should we ask Tsunade to come back?"
Fugaku thought for a moment, then asked, puzzled.
Kawasaki calmly said, "For the Third Hokage, anyone can become Hokage, except for the Uchiha."
"He can't move the Uchiha clan right now, so he can only strengthen himself."
“Aside from Jiraiya, who has been traveling around, Orochimaru and Tsunade are the most suitable candidates.”
"Even the Third Hokage always believed that my goal was to increase the Uchiha's influence in the village through a roundabout way after the Uchiha economy had grown strong."
"Ultimately, I will achieve my goal of becoming the Fifth Hokage."
Fugaku smiled, for over the years, his vision had long since expanded beyond the position of Hokage.
For Kawasaki, the clash between the Uchiha and Konoha would undoubtedly deplete his own strength, especially since the Fourth Shinobi World War was just a few years away.
Kawasaki unintentionally pinned the blame on Danzo, and the Third Hokage learned that it was Danzo who planned it and Orochimaru who carried it out.
This led the Third Hokage to consider recalling Orochimaru.
Even if Orochimaru was the mastermind, the Third Hokage still had to recall Orochimaru at this point.
For the Third Hokage, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru were all acceptable candidates for Hokage, but the Uchiha clan was not.
Therefore, the three generations must unite all available forces.
"The deaths of Nawaki and Dan were jointly planned by the Third Hokage and Danzo. Even if the Third Hokage wasn't the mastermind, he still acquiesced to Danzo's actions."
"Because the largest clan in Konoha is the Senju clan."
"As long as the Senju clan exists, the Third Hokage's efforts to 'de-familialize' the clan will never succeed."
"Even if he could serve as Hokage for decades, the strongest force in Konoha would still be the Senju clan in the end."
Where is the Senju clan now?
Kawasaki asked Fugaku.
Fugaku remained silent. When Hashirama and Tobirama were in power, the Senju clan was the most prosperous clan in Konoha.
Later, Tsunade and Nawaki were both the hope of the Senju clan, and even Tsunade's lover Dan was exceptionally talented.
However, the Second Hokage later passed away unexpectedly.
Following the deaths of Nawaki and Kato Dan, Tsunade was deeply affected and almost never recovered.
Tsunade left for two reasons: first, the loss of her loved ones was too much for her to bear; and second, she vaguely sensed something was wrong.
"Now I want to bring Tsunade back to the Uchiha clan, both to strengthen the Uchiha's power and to fight against Danzo."
Fugaku paused for a moment: "Kawasaki, do you have any evidence that can convince Tsunade?"
Kawasaki chuckled and said, "I don't have it, but Orochimaru does."
Fugaku knew that Orochimaru was already one of his own, but he didn't know that Orochimaru still kept the evidence from back then.
Kawasaki briefly explained the Impure World Reincarnation technique to Fugaku.
Only then did Fugaku realize that there was such a method to summon the dead.
Once Kawasaki reveals the evidence of Nawaki and Kato Dan's deaths, the Third Hokage will face a choice: whether to sacrifice Danzo to gain Tsunade's forgiveness.
Or make Tsunade completely side with the Uchiha.
Sacrificing Danzo could also ease tensions within the Uchiha clan and give the Third Hokage ample time to build up his strength.
Preserving Danzo? Forget about it, it's simply impossible.
Therefore, Kawasaki's high-profile return to Japan to hold a succession ceremony was intended to increase the third generation's sense of crisis.
This even led Shimura Danzo, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and others to believe that the Uchiha clan was making unusual moves.
By overthrowing Danzo, he could also accumulate political capital for himself.
For example, regaining the position of honorary elder paved the way for Orochimaru to take the helm.
As long as the Third Hokage believes that the Uchiha's goal is to become Hokage.
Every decision he makes falls into the trajectory that Kawasaki anticipated.
After listening to Fugaku's clear and logical analysis, Kawasaki...
"That's right, that's roughly it. It seems you do have some brains, Fugaku. Even if I take over as clan leader in the future, I won't be able to do without your assistance."
Fugaku gave a wry smile: "I don't have that kind of intelligence. I'm just summarizing what you've said."
He never imagined there would be so many twists and turns.
What surprised him even more was why the young Uchiha Kawasaki knew so much about the past.
Fugaku could only acknowledge that this was due to Kawasaki's ability to foresee the future.
"Fortunately, we have you in our clan, otherwise how could we have stood against the three generations?" Fugaku said with emotion.
Kawasaki thought to himself, "Not only the Third Hokage, you can't even handle Danzo."
