Uchiha Kage awakened the Sharingan. The fact that he opened his eyes with Two-Tomoe immediately was not concealed; on the contrary, it spread throughout the entire Uchiha clan and reached the ears of Konoha's high-ranking officials that very day.
This caused the hearts of many in the Uchiha clan to feel very complicated. Those of the Dove faction felt as if they had found a backbone. As expected of Elder Kagami's son, such talent was truly impeccable.
Although opening the Sharingan earlier didn't necessarily mean better talent, starting with a Two-Tomoe Sharingan was naturally proof of unquestionable talent.
However, the Uchiha Clan Head was very dissatisfied. Kagami's son was also a genius; what a pity...
Inside the Hokage Office, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of the pipe in his hand upon hearing the news. Was it because of Kagami's death?
The Uchiha clan was indeed a miraculous clan, but it was a pity.
"Hiruzen, hand Kagami's son over to me. He is a genius; I can definitely cultivate him into a pillar of Konoha!" Shimura Danzō, sitting to the side, spoke abruptly and coldly.
These words caused the expressions of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura to change in shock. No way. Kagami's bones weren't even cold yet, and Danzō wanted to make a move on his son? How could they not be shocked?
Despite their dissatisfaction with the Uchiha clan, sometimes even harboring emotions that the 'damned Uchiha' should just be wiped out, they still had affection for Kagami.
"Danzō!" At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with a stern tone: "Kage is Kagami's son. He calls me Uncle. I gave him his name! I will not allow him to enter Root. He shouldn't live in darkness. I need him, the Uchiha needs him, and Konoha needs him too!"
"Hiruzen!" Shimura Danzō didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to be so forceful towards him!
"This time, Kagami's death has many suspicious points. The Uchiha clan is the biggest problem. For the sake of Konoha's unity, I cannot continue the investigation. But I must protect Kagami's son. If I can't even do this point, how can I face Kagami after I die!" Sarutobi Hiruzen glared at Shimura Danzō and said:
"Konoha needs the Uchiha clan, a united Uchiha clan that is loyal to Konoha. Now that Kagami is gone, Kage has become my only hope."
"But he is an Uchiha. He has awakened the Sharingan. Don't forget, once an Uchiha opens the Sharingan, their personality easily becomes extreme." Shimura Danzō didn't forget to badmouth Uchiha Kage: "If he isn't guided properly, what if he does something detrimental to Konoha in the future?"
He had always found Uchiha Kage annoying. Kage? Isn't that 'Shadow' (Hokage)? How could he like a brat with such a name?
Hiruzen, what does this mean? do you want to groom that kid to become Hokage?
How could Shimura Danzō accept such a thing?
"I believe in Kage. He is Kagami's son! I believe he will be an inheritor of the Will of Fire." Sarutobi Hiruzen silently took a puff of the smoke in his hand. Actually, he found the Uchiha clan quite annoying too.
It wasn't just because of the influence of his teacher, Senju Tobirama, but because the Uchiha clan had been causing him trouble recently. The Uchiha clan had great influence in Konoha, especially after the Senju clan gradually faded into the background; the Uchiha became increasingly aggressive.
Fortunately, Kagami appeared before to guide the Dove faction within the Uchiha, preventing the Uchiha clan from becoming a major threat.
If possible, he wanted to see the Uchiha clan truly become Konoha's Uchiha. It's a pity Kagami couldn't achieve it. What about Kage?
Can he do it in the future?
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen warned Danzō with a stern look again: "Danzō, I know you dislike the Uchiha clan, but as Konoha's high-ranking officials dealing with major village matters, we cannot drag personal grudges into it."
"Hmph!" Danzō snorted coldly and turned to leave. He knew he couldn't extend his hand to Uchiha Kage for the time being. But, time is long. Perhaps that kid will want to join Root in the future.
"Hiruzen, Danzō is just worried that Kage will be influenced by the Uchiha side." Seeing Shimura Danzō leave, Mitokado Homura stood up to speak.
"I know. If possible, I would adopt Kage. Unfortunately, the Uchiha side wouldn't agree, and I also need Kage there." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his two old friends: "If possible, I also wish Kage could be like an ordinary child. But as Kagami's son, there are some things he cannot escape."
"We need to strengthen the bonds with Konoha's side!" Suddenly, Utatane Koharu spoke. As the only woman among them, she often acted as the strategist back in the day.
Her opinion was valued even by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Bonds? I believe there will be!" A smile appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face: "Who do you think is more suitable, Tsunade or Orochimaru?"
"Hiruzen, you mean?" Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with shocked eyes. This sentence wasn't just superficial; the meaning behind it was significant.
