Chapter 158 Prelude
Chapter 158 Prelude
Above the canyon, Shisui is standing alone.
The road to change things is not easy, and Shisui knows it is difficult.
But this is his responsibility.
Konoha and Uchiha Clan.
He does not want to give up any of them.
Therefore, he must think of a way to save both of them.
The Uchiha are very dissatisfied with the behavior of the Konoha's top executives.
It can be said that the coup is not because of Uchiha Fugaku's order, but because a lot of Uchiha Clan's member wanted it.
They want to seek change and want to fight for their legitimate rights and interests.
In their view, if they continue to be oppressed by the Konoha's top executives, the Uchiha clan will be wiped out sooner or later.
Rather than just sit and wait for death, it is better for them to take the initiative!
And they know that Uchiha Clan's full power will be able to do something to Konoha's top executives.
These are all Shisui knows.
When he first entered Anbu, he thought that Konoha's top executives will believe in Uchiha Clan again.
Unfortunately, Konoha's top executives are too distrusting towards the Uchiha Clan.
Sandaime is good, but the rest of the Konoha Council, including Danzo, are very hostile towards the Uchiha Clan.
Therefore, Sandaime is the only breakthrough point for Shisui.
Fortunately, Shisui has now won the trust of Sandaime.
With Sandaime's authorization, many things that Shisui does will become justified.
"Shishui, what do you want me to do?"
At this moment, Itachi came from not far away.
"Itachi, we haven't been here for a long time."
Shisui didn't look back, but still looked at the flowing stream.
"Yeah, since we became Anbu, we don't have much time to train together."
Itachi also sighed with emotion.
Itachi has always regarded Shisui as his own older brother. Many things that Itachi does to Sasuke are actually what Shisui did to Itachi.
It can be said that Shisui set an example for Itachi.
Let Itachi know more clearly how to be a big brother.
"Hey, the conflict between the village and the clan has become more and more serious."
"I know. In recent days, I have also taken over some of Anbu's mission, including the mission to monitor Uchiha Clan's movement. The village's suspicion of the Uchiha Clan is above my expectations." Itachi said in a melancholy manner as he knows that this was not a good start.
"I have a clear understanding of these things during my time in Anbu. Sandaime-sama wants to resolve the dispute between them through peaceful means, but Danzo and other two council members are very hostile with Uchiha. It is very tough."
"The Konoha's top executives are not all one mind. The political disagreement between the Sandaime-sama and Danzo has already happens for a while now."
"Yeah, but Sandaime-sama is still the Hokage. His opinion is still the most powerful. Now he is already sending me the mission to handle the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and Konoha, I will try my best to resolve this conflict and avoid innocent casualties."
Both Shisui and Itachi know that once Konoha and the Uchiha Clan fight, both of them will lose.
Shisui turned his head, looked at Itachi, and said, "Itachi, I want to know your stance."
"Stance?"
"Yeah, are you siding with Konoha or the Uchiha Clan? After all, your current identity is too sensitive."
Others may not know, but Shisui knows Itachi very well.
Anbu, Root, and the Uchiha Clan. Itachi right now can be said to be a triple spy.
And if this kind of spy has been working for a long time, it will be difficult even for himself to determine which side he belongs to.
Itachi just stay silent.
"Itachi, the clan have already doubted you, let me monitor you. Although I trust you enough, I hope you can tell me about your plan. After all, I believe that our goals are the same."
"Shisui, I want to eliminate the gap between the village and the Uchiha Clan, but it's too difficult. It's so difficult that I don't even know how to do it."
Hearing this, Shisui patted Itachi's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay. As long as you have this thinking, it is enough. Leave the rest to me."
"Shisui, what are you going to do?"
"At tomorrow's clan meeting, I will persuade Fugaku-san to give up the idea of ??the coup. If it doesn't work, I have no choice but to use Kotoamatsukami."
"What!"
"This is the only way. Only when the clan settles down first can we continue to think of ways. Once Fugaku and the other clan members start the coup, it will be too late."
"This… well."
"Tomorrow, you will go with me."
"Okay."
After Shisui and Itachi finished discussing the matter in detail, they left.
It's not that Shisui did not think about using Kotoamatsukami on Konoha's top executives. At first, he thought about it, but eventually gave up on this idea.
Once doing this thing, the later part will be harder to control.
The cool down time of using Kotoamatsukami is too long, even if Shisui uses it himself, it is roughly estimated that the cool down time will reach several years.
It's too late if he waits until he can use it again.
There is only one Kotoamatsukami, so who is it used on?
Sandaime? Danzo ?
Once applied to the victim, a huge change in attitude will surely show the clues to another person. At that time, Shisui's action will be immediately exposed.
And when Shisui starts with the Konoha Council, then the Konoha Council will never trust Shisui anymore.
Uchiha Clan's situation will get worse, and civil war may even break out directly.
That kind of situation is the last thing Shishui wants to see.
If he used it on Fugaku, even if other people have doubts, there is nothing they can do.
The plan is like this, but can it really succeed?
Root's Base.
Danzo sat quietly in his chair, and his eyes shows dark expression.
"Uchiha Shisui, Kotoamatsukami. He's a troublesome existence and we definitely can't allow such a threatening guy to exist."
He then touched his bandaged right eye and whispered: "It's time to change to a better Sharingan. Uchiha Shisui, you should be honored. Your eyes can become this Old Man's new eyes."
"B, C, D!"
"Yes, Danzo-sama!"
In an instant, three figures knell in front of Danzo.
"I need the three of you to lead all the Jōnin in the roots, and lie in ambush at the Valley of Fire. Tomorrow, you will assist me to take on Uchiha Shisui!"
"Yes! Danzo-sama!"
"Go down and get ready. No mistake is allowed tomorrow."
"Yes!"
The three of them then leave, and only Danzo was left in the dark room.
"Tomorrow, there will be no more Uchiha Shisui in this world. Uchiha, huh! A bunch of clowns."
Kakashi sat on the roof of his house alone, looking at the bright moon in the sky and thinking something.
'Shisui's road is too difficult to walk. I don't know if he will succeed. After all, Danzo is dangerous."
About Danzo, he has a really complicated character.
But Kakashi's, this person is dangerous.
Suddenly there was a three-pronged kunai appeared in Kakashi's hands, and cold light flash in Kakashi's eyes.
"Danzo, if you dare to do something to Shisui, I will definitely make you pay!"
