Uchiha Shisui joining the Anbu was like the start of a new age.
Following Uchiha Mikoto's symbolic position, Uchiha Shisui began his work, taking on missions for the Anbu.
With his improved standing, Uchiha Shisui no longer worried about personal issues.
He was confident, and his amazing talents started to shine.
Even though he hadn't awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan like Obito, he already had the basic Sharingan and was improving quickly.
Uchiha Shisui was good at connecting with people.
Everyone who worked with him praised him.
This was just like in the original story.
Little by little, people started to change their minds about the Uchiha.
More and more people saw Uchiha Shisui as a skilled ninja.
And because of this, they also started to accept the Uchiha clan joining the Anbu.
Sarutobi Ryo thought it wouldn't be long before people started calling him "Shisui of Body Flicker"
This was because Uchiha Shisui was extremely talented in techniques like the Body Flicker Technique.
Sarutobi Ryo didn't hesitate to teach the unsealed Body Flicker Technique, which he had learned from Hatake Sakumo, to such a promising young ninja.
After learning this technique, Uchiha Shisui would become even more powerful than he was in the original story.
And the same would be true once he awakened the Mangekyo one day.
There was something else too...
Things changed as Uchiha Shisui received Sarutobi Ryo's support.
The official Naruto story mentioned that Uchiha Shisui's father was hurt in the Great War.
Uchiha Shisui's father was also a ninja with the Will of Fire.
His father was getting worse because of an infection from his injuries and might die, but he was relieved when Sarutobi Ryo sent Nohara Rin to help treat him.
Medical supplies were limited everywhere.
Without connections, it was hard to get the best care.
Sarutobi Ryo, knowing what would happen, decided to change this tragic event.
The infection in Uchiha Shisui's father's injuries was stopped, and his health improved.
Uchiha Shisui, not having to lose his father, would have a happy family and could serve the village without worries.
A complete family would help his mental health.
Some people needed to experience life and death to grow, but not all tragedies needed to happen.
After all, Uchiha Shisui's father had served the country and was a veteran.
He deserved proper care when injured.
As time went by, Uchiha Shisui became friends with Itachi, who often visited Young Master Ryo's home.
Occasionally, they would practice ninjutsu together.
Uchiha Shisui was surprised to find that Itachi was just as talented as he was.
Perhaps... Itachi was the most talented ninja he had ever seen.
Uchiha Shisui started to think that the next leader of the Uchiha clan didn't have to be Senior Obito.
Of course, Itachi was still young and didn't have Obito's experience.
But he believed that one day, Itachi would lead the Uchiha clan and even be worthy of becoming Hokage.
What Uchiha Shisui admired most was Young Master Ryo, who had brought him into the Anbu.
He had changed his life, allowing him to get rid of his insecurities, become confident, and stop being jealous of others.
And Young Master Ryo's willingness to teach him strengthened his desire to uphold the Will of Fire.
The Uchiha clan was Konoha's Uchiha clan.
Working to gain everyone's approval and allowing the clan to fully join the village was Uchiha Shisui's dream...
----
One day, Uchiha Mikoto was at home, with nothing to do.
Even though she was officially in the Anbu and had returned to her post in the Military Police Force, she was pregnant and needed to rest.
Uchiha Mikoto sat in the living room, gently touching her stomach, looking calm and peaceful.
Her growing belly showed that the baby was developing normally.
As a ninja, she wasn't as fragile as regular people and could do many things herself.
Cooking, laundry... and so on.
Next year, or the year after, Itachi would start at the academy.
At that time, her second child would also become her pride and joy.
Also, proof that Fugaku lived on.
The precious gift from her late husband... the child in her womb, was an important reason for her to keep living.
The only problem was...
What should she name the child?
Uchiha Mikoto often thought about this, but couldn't decide.
Unlike when Itachi was born, Fugaku had chosen a name without much thought.
This time, she had to think carefully...
"Mikoto~."
Just then, a beautiful woman walked in.
Kushina walked in lightly and quickly entered the living room.
She sat down comfortably, poured herself some tea, and drank it all at once.
As Mikoto's best friend, she was always comfortable around her.
"Kushina, are you off today..." Mikoto asked with a smile.
Since Kushina became Lord Mito's adopted granddaughter, her status had improved greatly.
Now, people respectfully called her Lord Kushina wherever she went.
In terms of status, she was second only to Tsunade, and was still Tsunade's adopted sister; this change was truly something to be envied.
Considering the Uzumaki clan's contribution to Konoha, as well as being a survivor of the clan... such treatment was only natural.
Then, next was to continue the Vortex clan.
That was... Namikaze Minato's marriage into the family.
"Yeah, I'm free today..." Kushina waved her hand; she had plenty of free time recently.
As the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, she couldn't travel around too much.
"Have you and Minato set a wedding date?" Mikoto asked again.
Having been in love since they were young, and with so many years having passed, it was natural that they were discussing marriage.
"That hasn't been completely decided yet..." Kushina waved her hand with a smile, clearly very happy.
It was a pity that Minato didn't become Hokage.
But the wedding should still happen.
Kushina didn't know that a crisis was approaching.
Once Uzumaki Mito and others confirmed the return of the deceased Senju Tobirama.
Everything that seemed certain would become unpredictable.
Sarutobi Ryo would be good to those who were good to him; similarly, he would use the same methods against those who were hostile to him...
If Senju Tobirama didn't return, then... no one would become a major obstacle.
But once Senju Tobirama appeared, troubles would naturally arise, facing the greatest politician in Naruto.
At that time, changes in relationships would cause people who could have been friends... to become enemies...
