Hearing that Uchiha Arata had already made arrangements for Shisui, the elder nodded with relief, then raised a second concern.
"The next matter is also the most difficult.....convincing Uchiha Fugaku.
I don't hold him in high regard, but he is, after all, the clan head. Most of the clan still listen to him.
His indecisive nature works when dealing with Konoha in daily matters, but in major affairs, it's fatal. Such hesitation can ruin important decisions."
Arata couldn't help but think that the elder had judged Fugaku perfectly.
If it weren't for Fugaku's damned indecisiveness, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have reached the point of annihilation.
He had the Mangekyō Sharingan, and yet, when Uchiha Itachi and Konoha's Root, along with Uchiha Obito, massacred the clan, Fugaku, as the head, did nothing.
He didn't organize the clan to resist; he didn't lead the defense.
He just hid in his room like a coward, and in the end, Itachi killed him without resistance.
He was the clan head, yet he failed to bear the responsibilities of his position.
Fugaku didn't even properly guide Itachi's ideology, allowing him to become the Third Hokage's loyal subordinate.
It wasn't that Fugaku had no power.....it was that he was utterly useless.
This was why Arata had used "Bidenjin" to control Fugaku the moment he met him yesterday.
Fugaku, in Arata's mind, was simply a potential hindrance.
Yet his position as head was crucial. Controlling him was necessary.
The elder didn't know Fugaku was under Arata's control, which explained his anxiety.
Arata could not reveal this to the elder.....controlling the clan head, after all, seemed blasphemous.
He could only reassure him:
"Elder, don't worry.
I'll go persuade the clan head myself.
Once he sees the future fragments I showed him, he will support my plan.
If it doesn't work, I will come back to you, and we'll convince him together."
The elder nodded reluctantly:
"That's the only way. If I went directly, it would seem like I'm forcing him, which could backfire."
After countless reminders from the elder, Arata left the house.
Night had already fallen, and it was just about dinnertime.....perfect for dropping by the clan head's house to eat.
Arata strolled casually toward Fugaku's residence.
The elder's part was settled; Fugaku's side was simply a matter of procedure, so there was no rush.
The streets were quiet, with only a few playful children reluctantly heading home under their parents' calls.
Upon arriving at Fugaku's home, the clan head's family was having dinner. Itachi was still out on a mission.
Seeing Arata, they quickly invited him to join. Arata accepted without hesitation.
Mikoto hurried to the kitchen to add a couple of dishes. Sasuke, still a little boy, watched Arata with curiosity.
With many visitors coming and going at their house, he was used to company, but Arata was less familiar to him.
Arata returned Sasuke's curious gaze with a kind smile.
Sasuke was a prodigy, but compared to his brother, he lagged in talent, intelligence, and perspective.
If it weren't for the Indra chakra within him and his brother gifting him the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Itachi would be the archetypal protagonist.
But Sasuke was still a naive child, far from the vengeful, bitter, middle school version that would mature later.
With Sasuke present, Arata refrained from mentioning Shisui's fake death or the Uchiha's plan to leave Konoha, sticking instead to mundane conversation.
Dinner passed peacefully, and Arata had successfully "scammed" a meal".
Afterward, Mikoto took Sasuke away, and Fugaku led Arata to the reception room.
Although Arata had controlled Fugaku and Mikoto, their thoughts and personalities remained intact.
They lived and acted normally. Arata, in turn, treated them politely, maintaining decorum.
Once Mikoto served tea and exited, Arata explained Shisui's fake death and the Uchiha's plan to leave Konoha to Fugaku.
Fugaku, already aware that the clan faced eventual annihilation, no longer held hope for reconciliation with Konoha. He readily agreed to Arata's plan.
With the plan set, they discussed the details. Once everything was prepared, Arata and Fugaku addressed the issue of expanding the Uchiha population.
