After a short silence, Kuroto said, "Actually you can try to talk to Itachi, you must have few helpers from the Uchiha Clan that support you."
Shisui was puzzled, "But why does it have to be Itachi?"
"As you said, Itachi is going to be the next Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, if he agrees with what we are doing, I think you will also feel somewhat relieved." – said Kuroto with a casual expression.
This is obviously not the real reason.
The main reason why Kuroto wants to do so is to recruit Itachi into Amatsukami, no one can deny that Itachi is the best candidate to be a member of Amatsukami, so how can Kuroto let go of Itachi?
And recruiting Itachi is worth the effort.
However, Shisui obviously doesn't share the same idea, and was insistent on his opinion, "Kuroto-san, I think your idea is unrealistic, and this can expose our actions."
Seeing Shisui's adamant expression, Kuroto sighed and didn't put push too much, "Maybe we will consider this topic when he grows up a little, right now the kid is still young."
Shisui nodded.
Kuroto on the other hand was silent.
Shisui probably doesn't yet understand his importance in Itachi's heart.
And this is also not strange.
For the majority of people, measuring their importance in the hearts of others is difficult, and very few can accurately guess.
The Uchiha Clan in this regard is obviously very different.
Among the Uchiha, it is easy to judge a person's importance in the other's heart. If someone activates his Sharingan or evolves the Sharingan into Mangekyou Sharingan upon that person's death, then that means that the person has irreplaceable importance in the awakener's heart.
This has been proven in many instances.
In the case of Obito, awakening the Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan signifies Kakashi and Rin's importance in Obito's heart.
Similarly, witnessing the death of Shisui awakened Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan, signifying Shisui's importance in Itachi's heart.
And it wouldn't even be wrong to say that Shisui's death was the fuse that Itachi lost confidence to solve the conflict between the village and Uchiha Clan peacefully, leaving him with no other option but to destroy the clan to preserve their honor and for the sake of his younger brother Uchiha Sasuke.
Putting aside that matter, both Kuroto and Shisui didn't mention Itachi anymore and started to plan out the strategy on how to deal with Uchiha Ryota and Uchiha Hideki.
Firstly, this action must be carried out in the name of Amatsukami.
Only in this way, will the Uchiha Clan deeply feel the threat that Amatsukami poses and actively try to deal with Amatsukami, even if they have to resort to uniting themselves with the village, and vice versa.
Therefore, not only the two said Uchiha have to be resolved easily and neatly but there must also be some eyewitness, and the eyewitness should be a member of the Uchiha Clan, whose words can be trusted by the fellow Uchiha clansmen.
While the two of them were trying to devise a good enough strategy, Shisui said with a frowned expression, "But the problem we have is that, although both of them are brothers, they no longer live together, also they are mostly busy with their respective duties and rarely meet out of public sight. If we want to kill both of them without much attention at the same time leaving an eye witness it wouldn't be easy."
Kuroto was also thinking.
This issue can naturally be resolved if Shisui initiates a meeting with the two of them, but this can leave clues that might get him exposed and cause more trouble in the future, therefore, it is best not to leave any trace that might point towards Shisui to be the culprit.
Even after a lot of thinking, the two couldn't find a good method to get the best of both worlds so Kuroto simply said, "Let's just pick one first!"
Shisui also nodded, "I also think that this is the best approach, but which target do we choose first, Ryota or Hideki?"
"Let's start with Uchiha Hideki first." – said Kuroto, "Isn't Uchiha Ryota very arrogant and unstable? So, we just have to start with his brother first, with the kind of personality Ryota has, he will not let this matter slide and pursue us tirelessly with all his effort, when that happens, we will have many opportunities to deal with him."
"Alright, I will keep track of Uchiha Hideki's real-time movements, as well his possible whereabouts in the near future, so we can have a good enough opportunity to start with him." – said Shisui.
Kuroto nodded, and after discussing some more details, Shisui left.
With Shisui gone, Kuroto also returned to his home, took out a map, and placed it on the table.
This is a map of Konohagakure and the surroundings that Kuroto personally drew a few days ago, although not very accurate it is more than enough for reference purposes.
Studying the map carefully, Kuroto frowned, 'There is simply no place in the surroundings of the village that can be used for the hiding purpose!'
Kuroto wants to find a suitable spot to build a dungeon-type prison where he can hold the Uchiha clansmen captive. He obviously has no plans to relieve them so easily by just killing them, at least not until he can exploit them as much as possible.
And Kuroto has no qualms in torturing them to achieve his objective.
In Kuroto's view, as long as the Uchiha are alive they are much more useful than when they are dead, after all, Sharingan within the eye socket of an Uchiha is more precious than when it is placed in a nutrition jar as a collection.
Kuroto believes that alive Uchiha Clansmen can be used to farm out Mangekyou Sharingan, compared to the dead Uchiha that leave nothing but Sharingan.
For this reason, Kuroto even feels that Shimura Danzo is a bit stupid and too short-sighted, he might have thought that he managed to get all the resources of the Uchiha Clan by killing all the Uchiha Clansmen and digging out their Sharingan.
But in fact, he didn't.
The better method would have been to let them live and farm out Mangekyou Sharingan users by various means.
When thinking of all the possibilities, Kuroto's mind flashed with all the possible torture he is going to put the Ryota and Hideki Brothers into.
Kuroto also knows another easy way to make Uchiha Clansmen awaken Mangekyou Sharingan.
The method is very simple with guaranteed success, all he has to do is chose some Uchiha with a fully matured Sharingan and has someone they love dearly.
Then use Shisui's Kotoamatsukami to deepen those feelings multiple times, making them believe that nobody is more valuable than that person, just like Obito felt towards Rin.
And in the final step, kill the lover right before the very eyes of the subject.
Kuroto can hundred percent guarantee that this method would definitely awaken Mangekyou Sharingan.
But Kuroto wasn't going to use this approach.
It's simply because this method is too twisted, not to mention that he will be playing with the feeling of others, but it also bears a great amount of risk, and finally, it would leave a great amount of guilt even on the conscience of Kuroto who has always pursued self-interest over everything.
Besides, Kuroto is also sure that Shisui would never agree to this approach as he will definitely feel that this method is too wicked, as even Shimura Danzo isn't nearly cruel enough.
Putting that aside, torturing out the Ryota and Hideki brothers is something he is definitely going to do to get a pair of eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and he has no qualms about it whatsoever!
