Chapter 309 New Member, Phantom God

"That's not necessarily true."

Lin Yu took out a set of black robes and a mask from a sealing scroll and threw them to Shisui, saying, "Put these on, and you can stop the Uchiha's destruction!"

Shisui dropped the wild boar, hastily took the black robe and mask, and examined them.

A dual-holed mask carved with eyes with strange lines, and a hand-woven black robe, adorned with the same line-eye pattern as the mask, appeared to be a matching set.

Shisui asked doubtfully, "Lin Yu-sensei, what is this?"

"Exclusive attire of the Eternal Organization. Each person's is different. This one belongs to you."

"The, the Eternal Organization?!"

Shisui was shocked. He had heard of the Eternal Organization, but they had disappeared for many years. He thought they had faded into obscurity, but he never expected Lin Yu-sensei to be a member!

Shisui composed himself and asked in confusion, "But how does this relate to stopping the Uchiha's destruction?"

Lin Yu slowly replied, "A sense of crisis! Make the Uchiha clan feel a sense of crisis, as if they are on the brink of extinction!"

"A sense of crisis?"

"Exactly! Once people have a sense of crisis, their subconscious reaction is to flock to their older brother for a sense of security. What you need to do is to create a sense of crisis for the Uchiha, forcing the Uchiha clan to seek Konoha's protection!"

Shisui exclaimed with joy, "This way, we can delay the conflict between the Uchiha and the village, and even strengthen the connection between them!"

Lin Yu shook his head, "Shisui, you're too naive. This method is only a temporary fix; the Uchiha will realize it sooner or later."

Shisui was still happy. A significant delay was good, and perhaps their relationship could even improve!

"Then, Lin Yu-sensei, what should I do?"

Lin Yu looked at the bonfire and took a sip of wine. "It's very simple! Kill! Kill Uchiha ninja!"

Shisui was stunned for a moment, then gave a wry smile, "We still can't avoid killing our clansmen?"

Lin Yu said, "I'm just providing you with a method. Whether you do it or not is entirely up to you."

"Shisui! As long as the extremist faction of the Uchiha clan exists, peace between them and Konoha is impossible. I believe you understand this!"

Shisui lowered his head. He had also experienced this, but he hadn't realized the conflict between the clan and the village had become so severe.

Using force to delay his clan's rebellion was something Shisui was unwilling to do!

But if that day truly came, he, Uchiha Shisui, would not hesitate!

Because Shisui knew that the Uchiha's rebellion would never succeed. Lin Yu-sensei alone was more than the Uchiha could handle.

"Lin Yu-sensei, can this plan really succeed?"

Lin Yu scratched his head and said, "The plan still needs refinement. It's still a long way from the Uchiha's rebellion. The Third Great Ninja War just ended, and the Uchiha also need time to recover."

"Hoo!"

Shisui let out a long sigh. If he were asked to act against his own clan now, he truly couldn't bring himself to do it. Moreover, the Uchiha clan had just achieved merit on the battlefield, and the village should be commending them.

He hoped that during this time, the relationship between the clan and the village would ease a little.

Shisui changed the subject, holding the black robe in his hand, and asked Lin Yu, "Lin Yu-sensei, are you a recruiter for the Eternal Organization? Why do you carry new member attire?"

Lin Yu coughed twice and said, "Recruiter? Let me reintroduce myself. I am the leader of the Eternal Organization, the Eternal Lord, codenamed Heng Lord!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Shisui suddenly began to cough violently. He was taken aback by Lin Yu's strange naming convention. What was "Heng Lord" supposed to be?

Shisui's expression suddenly turned grim, and he hesitated, "Then, do I have a codename too?"

Lin Yu seemed a little surprised that Shisui wasn't shocked. The Eternal Lord! Minato Namikaze is my subordinate! Well, Shisui doesn't seem to know about that!

"Of course. Let me think... Hmm, your codename is Phantom God!"

Shisui looked at the mask with eye patterns in his hand and murmured, "Phantom God?"

Little did he know, Shisui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this name was much more normal. If it were something like "Heng Lord," Shisui would really have to consider whether to join!

Otherwise, if he felt awkward every time he introduced himself, what would be the point of fighting!

But... doesn't Lin Yu-sensei feel a bit awkward?

Lin Yu, not noticing Shisui's strange gaze, said, "So, Shisui, have you joined?"

"Yes, I choose to join!"

Shisui thought it through clearly. Regardless of the future of his clan or the current situation, joining the organization created by Lin Yu-sensei wouldn't affect anything. Moreover, Lin Yu-sensei was the one in the black robes!

This was a powerful ally he needed to cling to!

"Leader! Do we have any other members in our organization?"

Lin Yu coughed dryly and said, "Just call me teacher normally. Use other titles during missions and organization gatherings."

"As for organization members... including you, Shisui, there should be three!"

Shisui showed an expression of "as expected" and asked, "Who is the other one? Could it be Kakashi-senpai?"

"That's not it!"

Lin Yu smiled mysteriously. "The other is our Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!"

"Oh, so it's Minato-senpai."

Then Shisui realized and exclaimed, "Minato-senpai is the Fourth Hokage? How does Lin Yu-sensei know?"

It's decided! It's decided!

Lin Yu didn't explain and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Minato will be the Fourth Hokage."

The Hokage was also a member of the organization!

Shisui was very excited now, and he knew Minato-senpai's personality well – gentle and exceptionally good-tempered! If Minato-senpai became Hokage, then the conflict between the clan and the village might not be impossible to resolve!

"I forgot to mention, your Uchiha clan leader, Fugaku, was also nominated as a Hokage candidate, but it seems he was eliminated in the first round!"

Shisui's excited mood immediately deflated. This was truly bad news!

"Lin Yu-sensei, is this true? Clan leader, he, he didn't even pass the first round?"

Lin Yu finished eating the grilled meat, smacked his lips, and nodded, "He definitely wouldn't pass. The old man Third wouldn't let anyone from the Uchiha clan become Hokage. He wouldn't give them any chance."

"Alas, if Fugaku sees Minato Namikaze, who is much younger than him, become Hokage in the future, I wonder how he'll feel!"

Shisui's face turned even uglier. He suspected Lin Yu-sensei was deliberately trying to depress him. He had just been thinking that Minato-senpai would take a moderate approach towards the Uchiha clan, and in the next moment, his own clan leader had become an enemy of the other.

This was so annoying!

Shisui felt that this was the most uncomfortable meal he had ever eaten, his mood fluctuating like a roller coaster.

Lin Yu-sensei is truly wicked! His younger brother Itachi is much more sensible!

"By the way, Lin Yu-sensei, don't you really find your codename 'Heng Lord' awkward?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Lin Yu said confidently. His naming convention was unlike Minato Namikaze's, of that he was quite confident!
