Three days later, after Fugaku's funeral, Mitsusuke brought Sasuke back to school.
After sending Sasuke back to class, Mitsusuke went to the Hokage Rock: "Are you really not going to see Sasuke? He misses you very much."
"No need," Itachi said, coming to Mitsusuke's side. "I am already a Rogue Ninja, and it's not good to show my face in Konoha. Besides, I believe you and Shisui can take good care of him."
"As you wish! You've already killed that great elder of the Uchiha, right? Do you think that organization will believe you're a Rogue Ninja with that excuse now?"
"They will believe me, I have my own methods," Itachi took out a storage scroll. "Inside here are things that will make them believe."
Mitsusuke didn't ask further; he already guessed what was inside.
He raised his hand and patted Itachi's shoulder: "Good luck."
"By the way, Sasuke has awakened his Sharingan. It's a very beautiful Single Tomoe."
Itachi showed a rare smile upon hearing Mitsusuke's words: "I know. I've always believed Sasuke is the hope of the Uchiha, and it was only a matter of time before he awakened it."
Watching Itachi draw a horizontal line across his forehead protector, his life as a Rogue Ninja also began.
As soon as Mitsusuke returned to school, Shisui found him: "Kai, the Sixth Elder sent someone to find me. They plan to make me the Uchiha clan head. I'm very nervous right now; I'm afraid I won't do a good job as clan head."
"Shisui, remember, the old Uchiha no longer exists. What we have now is a brand new Uchiha, and they need you. If you cannot bear the responsibility of revitalizing the Uchiha, Itachi's efforts and Clan Head Fugaku's sacrifice will have been meaningless."
For some reason, Shisui always felt that what Mitsusuke said could make people believe unconditionally.
Shisui turned and bowed deeply to Mitsusuke: "Kai, thank you. I know what to do now. After I become the Uchiha clan head, I won't be able to be a teacher anymore. So I want to ask Hokage-sama to let you be in charge of their Ninjutsu class. If it's another teacher, honestly, I'm not particularly at ease."
Mitsusuke smiled. Shisui wasn't nervous; he was just adding to his burden!
But it didn't matter. It was all the same, no big deal.
The next day at noon, Uchiha Shisui became the new Uchiha clan head, witnessed by all Uchiha clan members.
To show the Village's attitude towards the Uchiha, Hiruzen Sarutobi personally presided over Shisui's inauguration ceremony.
Everyone was happy about the reconciliation between the Village and the Uchiha, except for that Old Man Danzo.
After all that scheming for so long, he didn't even get a single Sharingan.
The eyes of all the Uchiha who died a few days ago were completely destroyed, rendering them unusable.
Just as Danzo stood in the distance, watching the Uchiha people, a pair of eyes was also watching him.
After attending Shisui's inauguration ceremony, Mitsusuke returned to school in the afternoon.
Entering the classroom, Mitsusuke saw the students diligently refining their Chakra.
The events of the past few days had truly scared them; now they didn't dare to be lazy at all.
They were afraid of being kicked out of class like Sakura Haruno, which would be too embarrassing.
After writing the Chakra circulation route for the Body Flicker Technique on the blackboard, Mitsusuke also wrote down several methods for making disposable ninja tools.
The first was to hollow out an egg and fill it with chili powder or lime.
The second was a slingshot. This was useless against Jonin, but it had a good effect against ordinary Chunin.
The third was Itching Powder; just a little bit would make the enemy itch all over.
After writing, Mitsusuke threw the chalk on the table: "Listen up, you brats. This is the Chakra circulation route for the Body Flicker Technique. You have half a year to learn it and use it proficiently."
"Also, I have something to tell you: in half a year, I will conduct another assessment. This assessment will test your Taijutsu, requiring you to proficiently use the Substitution Jutsu and Body Flicker Technique in combat, and to last five seconds against me."
"That's all I have to say today. You may study on your own!"
Knowing that the assessment was in half a year, the students breathed a sigh of relief. This assessment wasn't particularly difficult for them.
Without Sakura Haruno, a lot of the messy things in the class had decreased, and Naruto could now calm down and cultivate.
Actually, Mitsusuke never understood why that Old Man Hiruzen Sarutobi would put a girl who often dragged them down into Team 7.
Although Naruto's strength wasn't good at first, he could at least be used as a troublemaker. Sakura Haruno, however, was truly useless.
In the evening, as soon as Mitsusuke returned home, he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi standing in front of his door.
After opening the door, Mitsusuke first let Hiruzen Sarutobi into the house, then followed behind him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth curved slightly upward, thinking to himself: although his successor often slacked off, he was still very respectful towards him.
After sitting down, Mitsusuke directly offered Hiruzen Sarutobi a cigarette.
The two old smokers puffed on their cigarettes, neither intending to speak.
After half a pack of cigarettes was smoked, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally couldn't resist and spoke: "Are you planning to train Sasuke to kill Danzo?"
"That's right, I'm going to train Sasuke to avenge his parents," Mitsusuke didn't hide anything from Hiruzen Sarutobi, speaking his mind. "This matter was clearly simple, yet Danzo messed it up again. My not personally killing him is already giving you face, otherwise Danzo would already be buried like Fugaku."
"Is there really no room for negotiation? I can remove Danzo from his position, as long as he's allowed to live."
"Old Man, you..." Mitsusuke was a bit helpless: "How long do you think Danzo can live after losing his power?"
"Given all the things Danzo has done, as soon as he loses power, even you, the Hokage, won't be able to protect him. You know this better than I do."
Mitsusuke wasn't lying; it could be seen in the original story.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi's death, Danzo lost his protection. Especially after Tsunade became Hokage, that Old Man either holed up in Root or stayed outside. He was truly afraid of the Konoha clans making a move against him.
Sigh!!!
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and stood up, walking out the door. He knew Danzo's life had entered a countdown.
Following Hiruzen Sarutobi out the door, Mitsusuke reminded him: "Old Man, you'd better keep an eye on Danzo, or he won't live to see the day Sasuke seeks revenge on him."
Turning his head to glance at Mitsusuke, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with a bitter smile.
Walking on the road, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a bit bitter inside. Danzo had helped him with many things over the years, but in the end, he couldn't protect him.
However, thinking about the things Danzo had done behind his back, Hiruzen Sarutobi again felt that Mitsusuke's idea was correct.
As soon as he arrived at his office, Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered the Anbu to summon Danzo. He wanted to have a good talk with his old comrade.
