'That brat' She smiled

'I like him, but...smart people tend to die early' She was worried.

"So I..." she thought about that decision while looking at Eiji. If it were anyone else, she would have snorted and reproached. Do you want to teach a class about my clan? Hilarious ... But something in the back of her mind said that he knew what he was talking about, call it superstition or a woman's instinct. But she believed in her instincts.

She had heard about it a few years ago, 'There were rumors that the second Hokage was extremely paranoid with the Uchihas, and he studied our clan thoroughly' Mikoto analyzed all the information Eiji gave her.

'He's right, as much as I want to deny it, he is still right. Even more in the curse of love part, the eyes that reflect the feeling...really translates the Sharingan' Mikoto thought.

Over the years, many Uchiha geniuses have appeared, but few have survived or managed to overcome their hunger for power. Many died from this obsession, others became drunk and obsessed with it and wanted more.

This problem had been troubling her for years, and she had never been able to find a solution because the tragedy started when your Sharingan awakened...That is the death of someone you love.

'I never expected the conversation to end this way... The question is: should I follow my instincts or conclude that he is just insulting me by saying that I don't know my clan as well as I thought?' She put her hand between her eyebrows and thought.

Eiji just waited silently and was worried. Most of the Uchiha clan are extremely proud of their clan, of course, Mikoto is too. But she is different from all other Uchihas. He hoped he was not wrong, if he hadn't dug his own grave with so much information.

"Tell me, how do you know so much about our clan? Some things you said neither I nor the clan chief knew, and how did you know about the second Hokage? You are only 6 or 7 years old, you can't know so much, explain- it!" Her voice was more severe and it seemed that she would not accept any excuses.

He looked into her eyes and was startled. 'Did she activate the Sharingan? Looking for some nervousness or a lie?' That would be complicated.

"What do you want to hear? Do you want the truth? or do you want the lie?..." He asked.

"I just want you to not lie to me, give me some evidence, so that I can believe in you" His question was unexpected, never had anyone done anything like that, which caught her off guard.

"In a session at the ninja library, there is a book called "Curse of love" written by Tobirama senju, there are several of his ideas and conclusions about Sharingan and his analysis, the rest I asked my father" Actually there was a book like that, he had checked some books written by tobirama and ended up finding it.

"I've never seen a book like that  there, although I only got in with Kushina once" Mikoto murmured.

"I'll be back in 10 minutes" Mikoto disappeared so fast that he couldn't even answer, she went straight to the library to check what he said.

Kushina looked at me and said, "If you are lying you are probably dead, she hates to be played with. Believe me, I know" said Kushina with some fear in her voice.

10 minutes passed before she returned with a book in her hand. "This really exists, huh?" Mikoto was surprised at how much information there was about her clan and the sharingan. Obviously, there was no information about the mangekyo.

"You said you had a better way of awakening the sharingan, how would you do that?" If her clan could awaken the sharingan without someone dying, it would free them of a lot of worries and emotional upheaval.

'I will have to investigate him thoroughly, he is probably hiding something and I will find out' Mikoto's curiosity and suspicion was aroused to the fullest.

"Use genjutsu"

"There is?"

"What?"

Not even Mikoto and Kushina expected this answer.

I cleared my throat and said. "To wake up the sharingan, the user needs to go through something traumatic, lose some dear friend, someone he loves, feel strong emotions, correct? So ... never hear the need to really lose someone, just use a genjutsu strong enough to do the target awakens the sharingan seeing someone die"

It may seem cruel to do something like this, but it is much better when you wake up and realize that it was all a nightmare.

"This..." Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? were they idiots? Mikoto began to question her intelligence and sanity.

"But it will probably only work on ninjas with a genin post or students, that is, you would have to do it before they hit the age of 10, when the child is not so talented, of course." Eiji explained.

"I see, if the target is very strong he can see that it is a genjutsu and it will not work as well, so it must be when you do not have enough knowledge to realize that you have entered a genjutsu" Mikoto completely understood the plan of the boy in front of her.

"Correct, using this method you would have to use it in your home, with the target dying as your parents, and the ninja mocking him and making him feel helpless and wanting to kill him, making him wake up the sharingan" He finished and he went to drink his water.

"That is very cruel" kushina made a face, but it was better than losing someone for real. Mikoto was thinking the same thing.

"What about our clan's problem with civilians?" This was what gave her a headache, nothing they did seemed to have an impact on the Konoha population.

he went back and sat in the chair, and took in a deep breath.

"Leave the police force, abdicate that position in Konoha"

…

…

"Why?" She didn't like that, it was the only thing the Uchiha clan had to try to look better for the Konoha population.

"You didn't like it, right?" he smiled at her.

"No," she said almost instantly.

"That's why I said that first, you are hungry for power"

Mikoto raised her eyebrows and reflected for a while, he was right. It didn't matter if it was combat power, intelligence, or politics, the Uchiha liked to feel superior. Most, if not all, were like that. Though, Black sheep were always born, the best known being a young boy called Uchiha Obito.

"You are quick to understand things, the current Uchiha problem is not your hunger for not just power but politics but politics. They are the most beautiful police force, they like to feel superior and use the laws to punish as they please, no one can question him, you see?"

They kill the chaos in Konoha, arrest the criminals, lower the range of thefts, rȧpėd and murdered, but you all have a fatal problem. Most of the uchiha are arrogant, do not talk, do not communicate, or smile. People are complicated, and you don't know how to deal with it." It was tiring to talk so much, he again drank some water while Mikoto was absorbed in what he said.

"So how do we improve this? Even though you talk about my clan like that, I'm not ignorant. Everything you said is what reflects the current situation. Although some black sheep act differently from the Uchihas, that doesn't change our image, not because one does not try, but why the clan at all does not try. So why would we give up the only way to try to change our image? " She wanted to refute him, but if she did that she would be hypocritical to herself and the clan, giving up on this power network would do her politically much harm.

"Did you notice that your clan is isolated from the rest of the village of Konoha?"

"Of course I understand," she huffed.

I laughed at that and said, "That's why you took on the police force, are stuck here taking care of civil problems and trivial things. It will never help you improve your image, it will only get worse and make the situation worse. Civilians would say things like-

"Look at them playing ninja"

"They do nothing for the sake of Konoha"

"They just go through the village and don't help the ninjas"

"The Uchiha clan only thinks of themselves"

"They don't even say good morning to us!"

"You were satisfied with the power given to you to control Konoha by these means, but everything was done to isolate your clan from the village, obviously done by Tobirama Senju, the moment he made this post, you were pompous. You stopped participating in various missions and interacting with the people of Konoha, the military police force was made to isolate you and diminish the strength of your clan in general, Since you do not interact with other ninjas or civilians, most go to the police force, I asked my dad and besides Uchiha Kagami, no other Uchiha was someone close to the Hokage or had high status, do you know why? "

Mikoto was silent, she had heard a lot from this hero but never had a chance to meet him. 

Eiji continued,"He was a Konoha ninja, he was not a military police ninja, that's the difference between you. You are the police force ninjas, you are not Konoha ninjas. If your clan abdicates this 'privilege', you will be Konoha ninjas and it will certainly be much more seen by civilians" this is what he believed at least, political fight were never easy.

The house was silent for 10 minutes, kushina did not dare to speak and Mikoto closed her eyes while thinking about everything he said to her.

"Final question" But what surprised him was that she didn't look at him when she said that, but at Kushina.

"Tell me Kushina, what did you think of everything he said? Can I trust it?" Did Mikoto know that she could not blindly follow his instincts and abdicate the police force? It will be extremely difficult for her clan to accept this. But, She trusted her friend above all.

"He didn't lie," Kushina smiled as she played with his hair. "I monitored him all the time, there was not a moment when he lied to you or had any hostile feelings, he was practically sincere in everything" she was very pleased with her cute gennin.

'What the fuċk? Did she use my sensei as a human lie detector? # * €! %% @ _ × #' He cursed in my mind if I had lied …

Mikoto then stood up and looked at me. "I'm going to think about what we talked about today" and she left without even looking back.

I threw myself on my back and asked with my eyes closed.. "So, what am I going to learn today? Sensei" I was really upset with her.
