"If we succeed, our Uchiha will be able to..."
"Elder Seisei, what if this proposal is destined to fail?" Shisui stood up and interrupted directly.
A large number of Uchiha Ninja looked at Shisui, but no one stopped him from speaking; they just quietly waited for his explanation.
Shisui defeated Uchiha Seisei in battle and was already a renowned super genius on the battlefield at the age of eight. He has the right to question Uchiha Seisei's proposal.
Uchiha Seisei looked at Shisui with a slight pain in his abdomen, his face slightly darkened.
"I've said before, I can't guarantee success because even reasonable demands may not be adopted; the final decision lies in the hands of the Hokage and the high-ranking officials of Konoha," Uchiha Seisei thought for a moment and said.
"Shisui, your strength is undeniable, but you've spent all your time on cultivation. You should learn more about other matters before involving yourself," Uchiha Seisei advised, appearing as though he was doing it for Shisui's own good.
Shisui smiled faintly, having come prepared. Uchiha Seisei's little tricks were no match for him.
"Elder Seisei, being strong doesn't mean I'm ignorant of other matters." Shisui handed out prepared materials to every Uchiha, including Uchiha Seisei.
The moment Uchiha Seisei saw the content of the materials, his face turned extremely ugly. His gaze scanned Uchiha Fugaku and the other Uchiha Elders, trying to determine who was behind arranging all this for Shisui.
He had reason to believe someone was helping Shisui gain influence. How could an eight-year-old child accomplish this alone?
The other Uchiha curiously flipped through the materials Shisui handed out and discovered that most of it explained the rights, introduced the concept of offensive rights, what having such rights meant, the implications of the separation of powers, and what suspicion might befall the Uchiha proposing this. It even included historical anecdotes.
To ensure that Uchiha who might not understand could follow along, Shisui walked to the other side of Uchiha Fugaku and began explaining.
Because he wrote it himself, Shisui didn't even need to look at his notes, smoothly delivering the entire content and answering the questions from other Uchiha Ninja.
"This proposal is too unreasonable; it is not a right a Ninja Clan should have. It would severely affect the authority of the Hokage, and as such, its probability of passing is zero! Such a proposal will only make the higher-ups more wary of us Uchiha," Shisui concluded decisively.
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Shisui with admiration. He understood the sensitivity of this right, but he couldn't explain it as carefully as Shisui had, making sure every Uchiha understood.
Some Uchiha needed it to be spelled out clearly, or else they wouldn't understand and would think Elder Seisei made more sense.
"I haven't thought it through enough this time, didn't consider so many overlooked points; it was my mistake. I'm sorry, I apologize to everyone," Uchiha Seisei stood up and bowed to all the Uchiha Ninja.
"Elder Seisei was only thinking of the clan's good, just didn't account for some details."
"Yeah, yeah, Elder Seisei, you don't need to apologize; we haven't submitted it yet, thanks to Shisui's reminder."
Some Uchiha were greatly moved by the Elder's active apology and offered consolation.
"Regardless, it was indeed my error this time, and I will reflect deeply," Uchiha Seisei looked intensely at Shisui and then sat down with his head lowered.
Shisui looked at the scene with a calm expression. It's undeniable that Uchiha Seisei's strategic retreat was effective, but Shisui's goal was also accomplished; he had established his own voice among the Uchiha.
Meanwhile, the Mokgetsu panel finally delivered the message for Shisui's life's mission redemption.
