Inside a dense forest is a place surrounded by various training targets. Judging from the traces of use, the frequency of training in that place was not too low.
"Itachi, have you really decided?"
Under the woods, Shisui looked at Itachi opposite with heavy eyes.
"Shisui, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind."
Itachi's expression was quite serious.
Shisui rarely saw such a sincere and serious look on Itachi.
"Hokage-sama was looking forward to your joining..."
Shisui didn't want to give up and wanted to try one more time.
Until now, he had not understood how such a change occurred. He had only been away on a mission for a few months.
When he came back, he couldn't understand that how could Itachi, who had always been on the same side as him, change so much?
He almost didn't recognize that the boy in front of him who was a close friend to him with whom he had talked about his life countless times.
Hearing the term "Hokage-sama", Itachi's eyes showed a trace of sadness.
Once upon a time, he, like Shisui in front of him, believed that their Hokage would change the situation of the village and clan.
But reality is always disappointing.
During the time when Mirai returned to the village, he had deeply seen the incompetence and weakness of the Hokage whom he had always respected before.
He wanted to ask aloud, how can you manage the village well with such a Hokage?
"Shisui, you should still remember Uzumaki Naruto, right?"
"I remember, what happened?"
Shisui was confused.
Uzumaki Naruto is the Fourth Hokage's son, right?
Why did Itachi suddenly mention him?
"The Fourth Hokage sacrificed himself to save the village. As the son of a hero, Naruto was treated like that… Shisui, do you really think that such a Hokage is worth following?"
"That's enough, Itachi!"
Shisui interrupted.
He couldn't understand that why would his good friend Itachi would talk about Hokage in such disrespectful terms.
"The Third Hokage must have a reason for doing that!"
"Itachi, have you forgotten what the Hokage expected of you? You are a genius who has the Hokage's mind at the age of seven!"
Itachi also looked at Shisui, who he had once regarded as his role model and goal.
Faced with Shisui's angry accusation, Itachi did not directly refute.
But he replied calmly.
"Shisui, after meeting Mirai-sensei, I realized how stupid I was before. Now I want to take a new path."
The two looked into each other's eyes.
From the eyes of the other party, Shisui could no longer find the best friend with whom he once talked freely about anything in his life.
It was like a crack running between the two of them.
This was where they met and where they finally became strangers.
"Shisui, I have finished what I want to say. As for the Hokage, please tell him that Itachi failed to live up to his expectations."
Having finished speaking, Itachi turned and left.
Shisui looked at Itachi's back, looking at his close friend who was gradually becoming a stranger.
His eyes were complicated.
…
Uchiha training ground.
Looking at the clan members who filled most of the training ground, Fugaku looked at Mirai next to him with a headache.
"Mirai, what are you planning to do by choosing these young clan members?"
He was a little confused about Mirai's actions.
The day before, Mirai suddenly found him and Setsuna and said that he wanted to select a group of young Uchiha clan members.
According to his request, Fugaku and Setsuna quickly found these clan members.
After all, the Uchiha clan was now almost bound to Mirai.
His opinions was highly valued by them.
"Of course it is to form the Uchiha Guards."
Mirai grinned.
"Uchiha Guards?"
Fugaku was stunned, and Setsuna next to him also looked at him in astonishment.
He knows the Uchiha Police Force. What is the Uchiha Guards?
"The Uchiha Guards are a force established to protect the glory of Uchiha. Every member must have strong combat power and the spirit of sacrifice to charge for Uchiha."
Mirai explained with a smile.
"This..."
Fugaku and Setsuna looked at each other, each seeing the confusion in the other's eyes.
They still didn't quite get what Mirai was insinuating, why exactly form the Uchiha Guards?
"The duty of the Uchiha Polic Force which is the Security Department is to maintain law and order in the village, and the Uchiha Guards are to maintain the glory of Uchiha."
Hearing the words "Glory of the Uchiha", the young Uchiha clan members, standing in front of him, breathed heavier and their emotions became high.
The glory of the Uchiha.
Just thinking about these words makes their blood boil.
"Mirai, there is no need for this, right?"
Fugaku felt that he had a severe headache.
He became more and more confused about what Mirai wanted to do.
"Fugaku, don't you think this world has remained the same for too long?"
Mirai turned around and looked at him with a smile.
"From Uchiha, to Konoha, to the Five Great Nations, and then to the entire ninja world, this world has always seemed to run invariably according to a set program."
"If it goes on like this, it will be really boring."
"So, I have a dream."
"Starting with Uchiha, then Konoha, then Land of Fire, and finally, change the entire ninja world!"
Mirai smiled brightly.
"Fugaku, don't you want to participate in this exciting change? The future is in front of you."
Fugaku was still hesitating, but Setsuna beside him was already too excited to speak.
An image of a person appeared in his mind.
Senju Hashirama.
Although he belonged to the Uchiha clan, he had to admit the greatness of Senju Hashirama.
That was the legendary God of Shinobi, who ended the troubled times of the Warring States Period and created the era of one country and one village.
He saw the shadow of that person in Mirai.
Maybe, one day in the future, Mirai might become that kind of existence.
He wanted to seize this opportunity.
Use this decaying body of his to catch up with the wind of change.
The blood in the Uchiha young men standing in front of them had already begun to boil, their red eyes were turning on one after another.
Mirai drew a huge blueprint for them.
A completely different world would be born through their efforts.
What an exciting thing!
Next door, Hiruzen was still thinking hard about how to weaken their power, but Mirai was already thinking about changing the world.
"So, boys, do you want to take a cruise to the new world?"
"We want!"
Mirai smiled brightly.
"It's no use just being loud. Now, show me your strength."
Silver magnetic fluid covered Mirai's body from bottom to top, and beating blue lightning arcs lingered around him.
[Electromagnetic Chakra Mode]
If one wanted to convince this group of Uchihas in the true sense, it's useless to just give them a dream.
Mirai knew this very well.
His sonorous voice echoed throughout the training ground.
"Come on, and attack me together. Prove your strength to me!"
