In the Conference Hall at the moment, in addition to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu present, Uchiha Shisui was here.
But they were not sitting around and discussing something.
Uchiha Shisui was standing opposite them, which seemed a bit like being examined.
âShisui, you asked us give you time, and we have already given it. But now your clan situation; I believe we do not need to say more. You should also know it. Your clan has recently begun to strengthen its armed forces. What the intention is obvious. Is it time for you to have a choice?â It was Shimura Danzo who spoke.
In order to get more Sharingan, he would ruthlessly push the Uchiha clan to death almost as soon as he finds an opportunity. But, of course, what he said was not unrealistic.
Ever since Uchiha Clan members forced Uchiha Fugaku to submit two years ago, Uchiha Clan members began to move around. Deploy various plans.
Itâs just that even if they do it secretly, it was still unavoidable that these old foxes, who have long been wary of them, found signs.
The reason why Shimura Danzo would say that Shisui was given enough time is that shortly after the Uchiha were discovered, the four old men sent the most âsociableâ Sarutobi Hiruzen to face Shisui honestly. The result was no surprise. This Shisui, which had high hopes from the clan, was easily countered by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The excuses described were nothing more than the question of whether the village will really be besieged and so on after both lose.
Shisui, who was heavily influenced by grandfather Uchiha Kagami, certainly couldnât bear to see this happen. Therefore, in order to prevent the village from facing the clanâs blade, Shisui promised the clan in name and would look for opportunities to start, and then inform the Hokage. In fact, he has become a double agent.
He would report the situation in the clan to the Konoha high-level folks. And on the one hand, he reported the clanâs situation to those old fellows to show his loyalty so that they can feel at ease. He kept telling the clan that he couldnât find an opportunity and kept delaying time.
His purpose was to act as a peacemaker. To try to get as much time as possible, hoping to find a balance point to let the village and the clan resolve this matter peacefully.
UnfortunatelyâŠâŠ After working hard for so long, he still couldnât eliminate the mistrust of the clan members towards the village. This sense of distrust, instead, grows with each passing day.
Of course, what he didnât know is that thanks to Shimura Danzoâs various small actions, no matter how hard he tried, it was destined to be this way.
Hearing Shimura Danzoâs words, Shisui quickly cry out in surprise: âPlease trust me, and give me a little more time! Then, I will definitely be able to change the idea of clan!â
Seeing Shisui still persisting, even the other three elders couldnât overlook it.
Mitokado Homura: âShisui, itâs not that we donât want to give you time, but that the situation is critical and we canât delay it any longer.â
Utatane Koharu: âYes, Shisui. If you get your clan ready, it may cause both sides to suffer. When the time comesâŠâ
âPlease believe me! Believe me for the last time. I will do it this time!â Shisui struggled so hard that his movements became panic.
Seeing this, they looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen subconciously. Motioned him to solve the problem in front of him soon.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also sighed: âShisui- I have been with your grandfather for many years. We watched you grow up together. Your grandfather and us all hope you can inherit the Will of Fire. I hope you donât let us down.â
Itâs grandfather again.
Grandfather was also used to influence Shisuiâs ideas. Sarutobi Hiruzenâs favorite is playing the emotional cards. To firmly lock his target in the village.
" "
In the beginning, Sarutobi Hiruzen was constantly using Uchiha Kagami in front of Shisui. So, it was so easy to successfully instigate Shisui. And it was the same now.
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen talking about the word âgrandfatherâ, Shisui couldnât help but struggle.
Immediately after he clenched his teeth, he said firmly again: âPlease believe me, I will succeed this time!â
While speaking, Shisui this time is even red⊠open⊠he opened his Mangekyo Sharingan naked in front of them.
They were shocked! Emotionally tension! The atmosphere in the Conference Hall instantly dimmed to the extreme.
Until now, wasnât what they were most afraid of the Mangekyo Sharingan? They knew very well that Mangekyo Sharingan was the main Dojutsu that can even control Kyuubi!
Now that Shisui has opened Mangekyo Sharingan, what does this mean? How does this not make them nervous?
Without waiting too long, Shisui quickly confessed: âMy pair of eyes- this Dojutsu can change the memory and thinking of others! Please believe me! If I were to use Dojutsu this time, I would definitely solve the clan problem!â
Shisui said like it was nothing. But his Dojutsuâs abilityâŠ
In this Conference Hall, the four old faces became extremely ugly. How could they not think of the horror of Dojutsu?
Just a split second ago, they had already thought of countless kinds of applications of this Dojutsu. Because of this, they only became more afraid of Shisui now.
After four people exchanged glances⊠still Sarutobi Hiruzen came forward to solve this problem. Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately replaced his expression with a kind expression: âVery good, Shisui. You didnât let me- let you grandfather disappointed. In that case, I wonât stop you. We will let it go. I believe you will be able to solve this problem perfectly.â
âThank you very much! Third-Kage, please rest assured that I will not let you down this time!â Shisuiâs expression rejoiced. Immediately with a determined look, he left the Conference Hall.
After Shisui leaves.
The atmosphere in the Conference Hall seemed to become a pool of stagnant water. They could not speak for a long time.
In the end, Shimura Danzo took the lead to start to talk and said: âHow serious is the problem with Shisui; I believe I donât need to say it. That child cannot be left alone!â
After Shimura Danzo expressed his thoughts, there was no rebuttal from the rest of the three people. After all, Shimura Danzo was right.
Now, Shisui⊠the threat to them was too great!
The most disturbing thing was that in addition to controlling Kyuubi, Shisui could completely change peopleâs memory and thinking!
The four elders who are suspicious, how can they put everyoneâs safety on Shishuiâs loyalty?
This brainwashing plan; no one can say for sure!
Shisui said he would use Dojutsu on his clansman. But who would dare to guarantee that Shisui will not fight back against them and use it on them?
For an instant, the pressure Shisui put on them was even better than the other Uchiha clanâs âpolitical⊠changeâ plan!
Seeing the three old close friends didnât refute or stop him. Shimura Danzo, who was familiar with them, knew what was going on. Isnât this the kind of thing that hurts your own friend, and thatâs why you donât want to say it from your own mouth?
Hehe. The typical one is to be both a bitch and a torii.
[TL note: A torii (Japanese: toÉŸii) is a traditional Japanese gate most commonly found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine, where it symbolically marks the transition from the mundane to the sacred.]
Shimura Danzo glanced at them contemptuously and then turned and left the Hokage ResidenceâŠ
