Chapter 24 The True Road to Peace
Walking in front of the disgraced Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Toru stretched out his right hand to form the seal of reconciliation.

As a tradition of ninja sparring, the Seal of Opposition and the Seal of Reconciliation are naturally indispensable.

"You're really awesome, but there's still something I can't figure out."

Uchiha Shisui withdrew from the previous battle, stretched out his index finger and middle finger and hooked Uchiha Toru's finger, completing the seal of reconciliation between the two parties.

Just when the seal of reconciliation was released, Uchiha Toru felt a resentful look drift towards him.

"My ninja sword!!!!"

As a formal member of the Konoha Guards, Uchiha Inari jumped down from the stands and stepped forward to retrieve his ninja sword.

Looking at the blackened blade surface and the slightly burnt handle decoration, Uchiha Inari felt distressed alone while holding the ninja sword.

"It's not your ninja sword. You really don't cherish it at all, right?"

Uchiha Inabi, who felt sorry for his ninja sword, was about to collapse.

This was the 20 taels he had barely saved after joining the Konoha Guards and performing several missions.

"Damn you brat, haven't your family taught you any etiquette in the Jin tribe?"

Facing Uchiha Inari's question, Uchiha Toru pretended to lower his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and replied:

"I wish they had taught me this before they were alive."

"."

After listening to Uchiha Toru's words, even the relatively childish Uchiha Inari was a little embarrassed to continue to be serious.

"Inaba, come back as soon as you get the ninja sword!" The upright-looking Uchiha Tiehuo called to the audience, "It's time to patrol."

Only Uchiha Tekka was left in the stands at the training ground.

Uchiha Inaba and Uchiha Yashiro left the training ground after watching Uchiha Toru's sword.

"Anyway, let's forget about the Ninja sword thing this time!"

Seeing that all his colleagues from the Konoha Guard Team had disappeared, Uchiha Inari quickly activated the teleportation technique and rushed towards the exit of the training ground after finishing speaking.

Shisui reserved a training ground for roughly three hours, and during this period there were very few unrelated people coming.

Currently, only Uchiha Toru and Uchiha Shisui are left in the empty training ground.

Uchiha Shisui looked around, and it seemed that the damage caused by this battle was not that great.

The messy and blackened walls, the blackened burn marks one after another, and the chaotic chakra fluctuations wandering around.

Everything tells the fierceness of this battle.

The battle between genin and ninja school students was exaggerated to this extent.

What's more, Uchiha Shisui also noticed that the other party seemed to be hiding some strength.

"You still have some power hidden, can you tell me the reason?" Uchiha Shisui put away the three magatama sharingan in his eyes, "Also, why was he disguised as a crane tail in the ninja school, but was exposed here? Show your true strength.”

Uchiha Toru's mouth twitched. He couldn't just say something like, 'Actually, there is no hidden strength in the ninja school, so he is really weak.'

After thinking again and again, Uchiha Cheru answered appropriately.

"Don't you also hide some of it, in terms of ninjutsu and sword skills?"

"Stop making fun of me. I can never handle the exaggerated sword skills of a Jonin."

A feeling of exhaustion surged into Uchiha Shisui's heart, and he simply sat on the ground: "You are too skilled in using your Sharingan. I have no advantage at all in ninjutsu."

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Ah."

Uchiha Toru imitated Shisui and sat next to him. After thinking for a moment, he replied:
"Position, fame, anything you want is like a joke when faced with absolute power."

"Disclosing one's power can indeed be a shortcut to obtain resources and status." "But equally, after you show your power unreservedly and use it to replace status and reputation, it will be followed by suspicion!"

Uchiha Toru's words were somewhat beyond the understanding of the Ninja students, but they were just right for Shisui, who had some precociousness.

"Suspicion."

There was a hint of movement in Uchiha Shisui's eyes, but it was not enough to support his change of perspective.

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Toru simply added a bold statement:
"Like. Konoha White Fang."

After hearing that it was listed as a word that has become almost taboo in recent years, Uchiha Shisui suddenly connected everything.

Shisui, who was particularly excited, lowered his voice, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"I should have known about this kind of knife skills."

A few years ago, when he was still a child, he had had the slightest suspicion after learning about the suicide of Konoha's hero, Hatake Sakumo.

And now, after seeing Uchiha Toru who hid his strength in forbearance and learned the sword skills of Konoha White Fang to the greatest extent without arousing suspicion, Uchiha Shisui suddenly understood something.

"You inherited Sakumo-senpai's legacy."

Although I don't know exactly what Uchiha Shisui thought about, the unexpected thought seemed to help him.

"Is it because of what happened to Sakumo-senpai that you made the decision to hide your strength?"

Seeing that Uchiha Toru had no intention of denying or accepting, Uchiha Shisui set his silence as acquiescence.

"No, how could the rumors be true? How could something like that happen!"

Uchiha Shisui became excited unexpectedly, and naturally the 'rumors' he once dismissed came to mind again.

It was like spreading the news that 'Konoha White Fang abandoned the mission' to every corner of the village.

After Hatake Sakumo committed suicide, another 'truth' spread to every corner of the village in the same way.

'Hatake Sakumo's reputation suppressed the Third Hokage and committed suicide under the pressure of the Hokage. '

Seems like a standard 'villagers began to regret Hatake Sakumo after his death and commemorated him in an inappropriate way'.

Generally speaking, for such complicated and confusing matters where the mastermind cannot be found, all one has to do is pass the blame on to Danzo.

But for Shisui, this was like a hammer to his unformed dovish worldview.

At an age when the world view was not yet mature, he encountered the confusing Konoha White Fang suicide incident.

Conjectures about the 'Konoha White Fang Incident' kept coming to mind. Uchiha Shisui held his head and wanted to expel these messy things.

But judging from Shisui's expression, it obviously didn't have much effect.

"No, how is it possible!"

"Whether it's a rumor or a fact." Uchiha Toru stood up and glanced at Uchiha Shisui, whose mood was so flustered that he forcibly opened the three Magatama Sharingan.

Taking a few steps towards the exit of the training ground, Uchiha Toru suddenly opened the second magatama sharingan and turned to look at Uchiha Shisui sitting on the ground.

"Time will tell who is right."

"Besides, I'll give you a piece of advice."

"Whether you listen to my words or not, please be sure to hide anything that can arouse suspicion, no matter who it is."

"Shisui, you need to find a true path to peace."

After saying that, Uchiha Toru left directly.

Only Uchiha Shisui, whose pupils were trembling slightly, was left in the huge training ground, with seeds of doubt planted in his heart.
