Apart from his own character traits, Shisui had another consideration.
He felt that he needed to cultivate some like-minded companions within the Uchiha Clan to change the Uchiha together.
Uchiha Inabi was considered one of the more outstanding among the young generation of the Uchiha, enjoying considerable prestige among the younger Uchihas, making him a good choice.
However, the most important reason Shisui would choose Uchiha Inabi was that he was neither a dove nor a hawk at this moment, but just an Uchiha with a strong sense of familial honor.
Uchiha Inabi agreed with the hawks' elders' proposals simply because he thought it beneficial in enhancing the Uchiha's strength, and later, decisively supported Shisui after he made clear the pros and cons.
"Then I'll trouble you, Shisui," Uchiha Inabi said with a smile.
Then, Shisui walked in the front while Uchiha Inabi followed, and the two entered the Nankai Shrine together.
As soon as Shisui entered the Nankai Shrine, many Uchihas greeted him.
To the Uchihas, defeating the clan elders was much more direct than rumors on the battlefield, so after the competition, Shisui's reputation within the Uchiha rose another level.
Shisui responded to each greeting individually, a practice Mokgetsu had taught him.
In order to gain more favor from the clan members, Shisui specifically asked for the list of all Uchiha ninjas from Fugaku and memorized all the Uchiha ninja names and appearances to ensure nothing was missed.
Uchiha Seisei noticed this scene and was somewhat taken aback, paying even more attention to Shisui internally.
A powerful genius is not frightening, as without brains, they eventually can only become enforcers, but a genius who is both strong and knows how to win people's hearts is not to be underestimated.
"As expected of Kagami's descendant, could he possibly complete what Kagami couldn't?" Uchiha Seisei mused and then shook his head.
He thought it unrealistic, even if Shisui was better than Uchiha Kagami was back then.
Uchiha Seisei believed that if Konoha didn't undergo a major reshuffle, the Uchiha becoming the Hokage, or even joining Konoha's upper echelon, was a distant dream.
As the meeting began, Uchiha Seisei stopped dwelling on other thoughts, taking a moment before speaking.
"To restore the glory of the Uchiha, it's essential to gain greater influence in Konoha. The most important matter is for an Uchiha to become Hokage!"
"During the Warring States period, the Uchiha were a ninja clan of the same level as the Senju. Now, while the Senju have already had two titled Hokages, not even one Hokage from the Uchiha exists. I deem this inappropriate."
"No matter how challenging it is to go from nothing to something, we Uchihas must do our utmost to contend for the Hokage title!"
Uchiha Seisei's words instantly heated the atmosphere in the Nankai Shrine, with the Uchiha ninjas being moved by Uchiha Seisei's words, believing that if the Senju could, then so should the Uchiha.
Shisui had to admit that Uchiha Seisei really had a knack for stirring emotions. Within a few words, even Uchiha Inabi beside him was looking impassioned.
This time, Shisui did not speak up to oppose, because what Uchiha Seisei said wasn't wrong; Shisui also felt a Hokage from the Uchiha clan should emerge.
If there was an Uchiha Hokage, the issues of the Uchiha clan would be much easier to resolve.
"So how do we compete for the Hokage position?" An Uchiha posed the question.
Everyone knew having a clan member as Hokage would ease things, but becoming Hokage was an enormous challenge.
Currently, the Sannin are at the peak of their fame in Konoha, and there isn't a single ninja within the Uchiha clan to rival them.
"To become Hokage, the most crucial elements are one's contributions to Konoha and strength. I think Clan Leader Fugaku is competent enough to compete for the Hokage position." Uchiha Seisei nudged Uchiha Fugaku forward.
Uchiha Seisei was merely making routine slogans to build clan prestige, without a plan for making Uchiha Fugaku Hokage.
After all, when failure comes, it won't be him losing face, it will be Uchiha Fugaku competing for Hokage.
Uchiha Seisei was waiting for the moment Fugaku failed, so he could reignite the Uchiha's emotions and enhance hawk faction strength.
Uchiha Seisei already had a rough draft, planning to say that Uchiha Fugaku's failure in the election was absolutely not a matter of ability but because Sarutobi Hiruzen and other leaders were prejudiced against the Uchiha.
"Clan Leader Fugaku indeed is our strongest ninja within the Uchiha, he should have the best hope," an Uchiha responded.
Uchiha Fugaku was stunned, not expecting Uchiha Seisei to suddenly play such a trick.
Uchiha Fugaku looked at the expectant expressions of the Uchiha clan members, feeling somewhat hesitant.
Does he not know his own strength? Without unlocking the Mangekyo Sharingan, he might not even stand up to Shisui or Obito in a few years, let alone compete with the Sannin.
But as the Uchiha Clan Leader, directly admitting unqualification to compete for Hokage would dampen the clan members' morale, putting Fugaku in a dilemma.
"The Third Hokage is still in good health, and the next Hokage election is still a long way off. How about Elder Seisei tells us how we Uchihas should support Clan Leader Fugaku in becoming Hokage, to be prepared ahead of time," Shisui suggested, diffusing the situation.
Having once fought with Uchiha Fugaku, Shisui knew Uchiha Fugaku wasn't weak, but he hadn't reached the level of the Sannin.
Shisui thought Uchiha Fugaku might not even be able to defeat Might Guy of the Sixth Gate of Eight Gates Plus Breath of Rock Chakra Mode.
Because Fugaku's Sharingan Genjutsu would have no effect on Might Guy.
Uchiha Seisei didn't really think Uchiha Fugaku could become Hokage; without much thought, he casually mentioned a few things Uchiha Kagami used to do.
