Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization
Chapter 272 Shisui’s Determination
Early the next morning, after Ryoma Ninja reported to him, Uchiha Itachi received a surveillance mission, and the surveillance target was none other than his family Uchiha.
With mixed feelings, Uchiha Itachi came to the ANBU control room.
There are densely packed screens in the surveillance room, and the pictures on the screens cover almost the entire Uchiha. Except for a few places such as the security building and Nanga Shrine, all can be seen.
Seeing this scene, Uchiha Itachi was frightened and felt a sense of fear in his heart.
For the first time, he realized the gap between his family and the village. While the clan members were deliberately trying to obtain high-level information, the surveillance scope of Konoha's senior leaders had already covered most of the clan area.
This also means that every move of the tribe is usually monitored by the higher-ups, including the tribe's ambition to become Hokage.
With such a huge gap, is it really possible for the clansmen to win?
After pondering for a moment, Uchiha Itachi asked Ryuma-nin who was leading the team: "Ryuma-nin, why does Danzo-sama want me to monitor the Uchiha clan? Why do you want to spy on the Uchiha clan?"
"Of course it's because Uchiha is a dangerous person..."
Ryuuma Shinobu glanced at Uchiha Itachi, without caring about Itachi's feelings, and continued:
"The Battle of the Valley of the End decades ago and the Nine-Tails Rebellion a few years ago proved this. Lord Danzo is worried that you Uchiha will hurt the village again."
"As for why you are asked to monitor the Uchiha clan, it may be because you trust you."
"Speaking of which, I am a little envious of you. You have just joined the Root Organization and you have gained the attention of Danzo-sama. You may be able to become Danzo-sama's successor in the future."
Uchiha Itachi smiled expressionlessly, responded politely, and began to perform the task.
This kind of monitoring task is very boring for ordinary ninjas, but Uchiha Itachi performs it very seriously. He wants to see with his own eyes what kind of existence the clan members are in the eyes of the higher-ups.
After working for twelve hours from morning to dusk, Uchiha Itachi left the root.
During the twelve hours of monitoring work, Uchiha Itachi finally understood how the clan members looked in the eyes of senior officials.
Those clan ninjas who have become the security force are all high-minded and domineering.
They often use the power of the security force to impose extremely severe punishments on villagers and ninjas who have made mistakes. However, when they encounter tribesmen who make mistakes, they often treat them leniently.
Such different treatment made Uchiha Itachi feel very uncomfortable.
When faced with the injustice done by Konoha's top brass, the ninjas within the clan were always filled with indignation and denounced the Hokage and advisor elders at clan meetings. However, in front of the villagers, the performance of the security forces was no different from that of the senior brass.
The higher-ups in Konoha discriminated against Uchiha, and Uchiha discriminated against ordinary ninjas and villagers.
After realizing this, Uchiha Itachi sighed softly in his heart. He suddenly felt that everything he did was meaningless, and life itself might not have much value.
And how many people can execute the will of fire that the village promotes?
The task of monitoring the Uchiha clan lasted for three months. During these three months, Uchiha Itachi also received many temporary tasks sent by Danzo and eliminated many rebellious ninjas who betrayed the village.
After killing the genin who betrayed the village with his own hands, Uchiha Itachi wiped the blood of kunaga and brought the forehead protector and the rebel nin's head to Danzo.
Danzo glanced at the traitorous ninja's head, then looked at Itachi Uchiha, and said, "Itachi, you have been working in the Root Organization for three months. What do you think of the Root Organization?"
Uchiha Itachi spoke for a while, and then said: "The root is an organization that protects the light in the darkness. There are things that cannot be seen in the light that only the root can do, and only the root can do it."
After hearing this, Danzo nodded: "You are right, the mission of the root is to do things that the Hokage cannot do. Only by clearing away the pests on the big tree of Konoha can Konoha Stand firm."
"During this period, even if an innocent person is accidentally injured, there is nothing we can do about it."
"We cannot harm the interests of the majority by taking care of a few."
"Remember the story I told you? In the trolley problem, would you choose to save five people, or let nature take its course and let the remaining person survive?"
Uchiha Itachi said without hesitation: "I will save five people. I cannot give up the lives of five other people just because of one person's life or death."
Regarding the train problem raised by Danzo, Uchiha Itachi initially chose to let nature take its course.
But after performing so many root missions, Uchiha Itachi gradually changed his mind. He felt that the lives of five people were more important than one person.
Even if that person shouldn't have died.
After hearing Uchiha Itachi's answer, Danzo was very satisfied. He knew that he had successfully instilled the root concept into Uchiha Itachi's mind.
Only in this way, when the village attacks Uchiha, will Uchiha Itachi stand on the side of the village.
However, the current conflict between Uchiha and the village is not intense enough. Uchiha must show his determination to seize the position of Hokage before Sarutobi Hiruzen will attack Uchiha in order to retain the position of Hokage.
At the moment, he only needs to continue to put pressure on the Uchiha side and let the moles in the security forces start a war. Sooner or later, the Uchiha will take the initiative to launch a coup and seize power.
Once Uchiha launches a coup against the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen's ANBU will be severely weakened by the suppression of Uchiha, and he can then send out root ninjas to clean up the mess.
He impeached Hiruzen Sarutobi for his work in quelling the civil strife and became the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.
…
It was discovered that Uchiha Itachi had changed in the past three months. In addition to Danzo, there was also Uchiha Shisui.
As Itachi's best friend, Shisui could clearly feel Itachi's psychological changes these days. Itachi's ideas became more and more extreme, and his style of performing tasks became more and more cold-blooded.
After witnessing Itachi's changes, Shisui also persuaded Itachi to leave the roots, but Itachi refused.
Itachi believed that there was no harm in staying at the root. He would know immediately what actions the Hokage family made, and then the two would discuss countermeasures and save the family together.
Shisui didn't know how to change Itachi's mind, nor how to convince Itachi to change his mind.
There is really no need for Uchiha to stay in Konoha. He can completely live in another place. Why must he stay in Konoha Ninja Village?
On one side are close friends who are getting farther and farther away, and on the other side are the clan members who are stubborn.
As a third party, Shisui was caught in a dilemma. He seemed to have no choice but to take out the gift Bai Ye gave him and find help from the person he could not understand the most.
