SighPretty simple - we save Shisui. Shisui's death not only gave Danzo Kotoamatsukami to convince people to go along with his bullshit - including, I suspect, Itachi - but was also the key event that turned a few Uchiha suspicious of Itachi into the entire Clan shutting him out of their discussions, ruining the Hokage's plans to use him to spy on/manipulate the Uchiha into a peaceful resolution. As a respected prodigy of the plan, our voice would also have disproportionate weight in calling for a peaceful resolution. Shisui also died before really being able to tell anyone about what Danzo had done except Itachi, which would have thrown the whole situation well off of the route it went in canon.
You're get very worked up over something you don't think will do anything?Sigh
Ok then. How do you propose we save Shisui? Note, Danzo did not in fact use the Kotomatsukami to convince everyone of his plan. That technique can only be used once every ten years. Even if Shisui survived Danzo he will be convicted of attempting to murder Danzo at the very least.
As we have just seen Itachi and Fugaku are at immense odds with each other. The Third can't use Itachi to manipulate the masterminds. They are either to far into the idea to back out now or genuinely think it's a good idea.
You seem to be forgetting the fact that we don't know of the coup. So we can't be inserting our own opinion. Also, we're five. Our opinion doesn't matter shit.
Now, it's not just Danzo who is causing this. The removal of him is not going to make everything be good. We still have mistrustful Civilians, Pride wounded Uchiha, and at least mistrustful parts of the government itself.
We don't have the power or sway necessary to fix all these problems. And so long as they exist they will just cause the other problems to return.
Hell, killing Danzo may cause the Uchiha to rebel early or convince the Third the Uchiha need to be Massacred.
Man, do you realize that there are ways of crushing a rebellion that doesn´t necessarily mean: Kill every man, woman, elder, and child, do you?Now, it's not just Danzo who is causing this.

Danzo explicitly used Hashirama's Senju cells to reduce the recharge time, because apparently that's a thing he can do. You don't know Shisui would be immediately assumed to be at fault if Danzo was killed, that's another empirical claim you've pulled out of nowhere, not to mention that Shisui need not kill Danzo.Sigh

Cue massive distrust to straight out hatred of most of the Civilans and some Clans towards the Uchiha, thus making village relations horrible, Clan members that will think that the accusations are false if the Hokage doesn't give very good, convincing arguments and evidence, paranoid Shinobi, which is never a good idea, and a lot of scornful children.As far as I understand Hiruzen character, If he has to make a preemptive strike It would be more along the lines of: decapitation strike to the main heads of the conspiration than genocide, I really doubt he is going to order the ANBU to kill infants in their cribs or Uchiha that were not even tangentially involved in the Coup like Itachis´sgirlfriend.

Yes it's a better end result there, but I have to wonder if another coup will be orchestrated as tensions continue to rise and mistrust towards ALL Uchiha will remain at an all time high.
Hey in the Mist Village this is the bread-and-butter with LITERALLY every clan, and they manage.Cue massive distrust to straight out hatred of most of the Civilans and some Clans towards the Uchiha, thus making village relations horrible, Clan members that will think that the accusations are false if the Hokage doesn't give very good, convincing arguments and evidence, paranoid Shinobi, which is never a good idea, and a lot of scornful children.

ROOT. Danzo's own personal little task force. They will either testify that they saw Shisui kill Danzo or act as witnesses to attempted murder. If they don't get Shisui labeled guilty? They will come after him.You don't know Shisui would be immediately assumed to be at fault if Danzo was killed, that's another empirical claim you've pulled out of nowhere, not to mention that Shisui need not kill Danzo.
Considering that hate in Itachi's eyes? I'm certain they were arguing about the coup. They don't need to be shunning him for manipulation to fail.They are arguing about something, not shunning him entirely. We're clearly still early enough in the timeline.
You keep saying that. Why would you invite a five year old to a coup meeting? We're smart and talented yes. But we don't have the needed life experiences and other things necessary to argue if a coup is a good idea or not. Besides, what Prodigy status? You do remember a shit ton of our genius is hidden from the rest of the clan right?We absolutely can be inserting our opinion if we have a high enough Reputation to be invited to meetings, and our prodigy status outweighs our age.
It doesn't matter what Danzo has done at this point. All that matters now? Is that the big powerful people in the Uchiha Clan decided a coup was a good idea and were planning on going through with it. If it was a radical faction of no names it'd be ok and easy to pass off. But when the Clan Head is part of it? Not at all.Danzo is actively stirring the shit to keep everyone angry, and canonically overruled the Hokage to massacre the Uchiha - all of these problems go from "intractable" to "solvable" with his removal.
Funny. Considering you ignored my argument. But fine. Ignore all this.I don't think I'm going to continue arguing with you - this should be enough for the purposes of proving you wrong to the thread, and you're either not getting it after my explanation or wilfully ignoring it.
...you mean the village in the middle of a Civil War?Hey in the Mist Village this is the bread-and-butter with LITERALLY every clan, and they manage.
And it is still much better than the genocide of one of the founder clans of a Village.
Wow, you are really pumping these out!
What type of monster is Rin, to gey A rank Genjutsu?
Has anybody noticed that virtually all our stats except Strength are at least C-rank which seems to be Chunin level. I really can't imagine how our six years in Academy are going to go considering we are going to be stronger then any teacher in a couple of years and stronger then all of them combined in six. Not to mention that with A-rank Intelligence and B-rank Ninja Academics we might know as much or more then them already.
I don't know if I ought to come back and point out the various flaws in this post - the idea that ROOT soldiers have enough independence to do anything without Danzo, for example - but on principle I should ask what argument of yours you think I've ignored here, because I've scrolled back up and can't find one.Funny. Considering you ignored my argument. But fine. Ignore all this.
How do you plan on saving Shisui? Your entire argument relies solely on this one aspect of Shisui being saved all will resolve peacefully.I don't know if I ought to come back and point out the various flaws in this post - the idea that ROOT soldiers have enough independence to do anything without Danzo, for example - but on principle I should ask what argument of yours you think I've ignored here, because I've scrolled back up and can't find one.
we have already caused several differences in Shisui due to our existence.How do you plan on saving Shisui? Your entire argument relies solely on this one aspect of Shisui being saved all will resolve peacefully.
1) Unfortunately we can't be sure of this. It'd be nice. But this isn't something Strength alone can solve.we have already caused several differences in Shisui due to our existence.
1) Shisui is likely a little stronger than he was in canon at this point, because teaching something causes you to learn it better then ever before.
--especially he has learned that people can be surprisingly resistant to genjutsu
2) we are likely to vote for warning him against people hiding one eye, this may easily cause him to prepare a backup plan.
Shisui is a smart cookie after all.
3) he is more attached to life because he has a sister to care for.
Don't underestimate the power of determination.
Oh, I thought you meant an argument for why every plan regarding the massacre is doomed to fail, no exceptions, but sure.How do you plan on saving Shisui? Your entire argument relies solely on this one aspect of Shisui being saved all will resolve peacefully.
You ignore my argument that we are five. It doesn't matter if we're a Prodigy. We know nothing in strategy, how to conduct war, and to everyone who isn't privy to our Reincarnation, which is everyone, we are simply a smart five year old.
We can't harm a hair on Danzo's head. Any sign of Uchiha aggression can be taken as the first step of the coup.
How about we start with those three?
I'm almost 100% certain Shisui knows Izanagi is a thing at this point, but to go a little more meta here: what exactly do you think the effect of us voting to warn him about one-eyed people hiding stolen Sharingans is, if not to help this exact thing? Do you believe this vote to be entirely pointless? I don't see any other scenarios it could apply to - if you really, truly believe this, you should be voting to warn him off Itachi, in the hopes he might not even put himself in this situation if he's not helping.1) Unfortunately we can't be sure of this. It'd be nice. But this isn't something Strength alone can solve.
2) And this'll help how? Just because he's prepared for something being a surprise doesn't mean he's prepared for the fucking Izanagi.
3) He didn't commit suicide purely due to conflicting loyalties. It was a part, but he was also down an eye, had poisonous Aburame insects probably attacking him, and more than likely a mass majority of ROOT after his head, if not all of it. Hell, he may off himself so they can't use us against him as a hostage.
In canon Obito was being opportunistic, waiting for his chance.For the massacre, even if we manage to save Shisui/stop Danzo (big IF there), what could we do about Obito? He'll probably be there to cause some serious problems.
