chapter 115

A large number of Sharingan were found in the storeroom, at first, it might be shocking but after a little consideration, it didn’t seem that surprising.

The research on Sharingan must have been started by Nidaime-Sama, which was later carried out by Danzo in cooperation with Orochimaru.

In this regard, Nidaime-Sama can actually be regarded as the founder of this all. And since Danzo supported many of Orochimaru’s experiments so he naturally enjoyed the results of his research.

Perhaps it was during this process, Danzo discovered the true power of the Sharingan, or maybe it could be from Uchiha Kagami, a teammate, and therefore he was determined to eradicate the entire Uchiha Clan to have a greater number of Sharingan at his disposal.

Obito noticed the other party’s gaze at the vessel containing the Sharingan and spoke in a voice that wouldn’t accept any argument, “I’ll take all the Sharingan, you can choose whatever you want, I won’t interfere in that…”

Kuroto pondered a little hearing Obito’s words.

If it was Mangekyou Sharingan, he would definitely not let Obito take it, this is because each Mangekyou has a cheat ability so letting a future enemy have it would be really troublesome, but since they are simple three tomoe Sharingan, then they aren’t very useful for Kuroto for now.

After all, Kuroto isn’t an Uchiha, is he?

So, at least for now, he doesn’t need them, and even if he does, there is a whole Clan in the Village.

Besides, with Obito’s ability, it isn’t very difficult for him to take away Sharingan from the people of the Uchiha Clan, so it’s better to let him have the Sharingan of the already dead ones, rather than making him go after the other Uchiha.

Moreover, in terms of value, the cell culture dishes are more precious for Kuroto.

So, after a moment of analyzing, Kuroto nodded and said, “Alright!”

The two who reached a consensus immediately became busy.

Kuroto quickly walked through the shelves containing the cell culture dishes and after looking through them attentively, he took out the storage scrolls in his ninja bag.

Obviously, Kuroto still can’t judge whose cells are present in the culture dishes, so he decided to take them all, and find the right pieces of equipment to later distinguish them one-by-one.

But considering that Danzo never stopped researching Hashirama Cells, Kuroto can at least make a guess; that these culture dishes must contain Hashirama Cells.

After removing, the culture dishes from the cooling shelves, Kuroto carefully placed them on the Storage Scroll and muttered softly, “Seal!”

Puff…

With a puff of smoke, all the cell culture dishes placed on the scroll were sealed in it one-by-one.

On the other side, Obito was also doing the same thing.

The two of them worked in a tacit understanding, neither interfering with the other nor helping each other, just simply and straightforwardly robbing Shimura Danzo…

…

Uchiha Clan, Patriarch’s House.

At the moment Shisui revealed his Mangekyou in front of all the Uchiha Clans-men present in the meeting, the ambitions were suddenly lit in the heart of Uchiha Fugaku.

However, Fugaku also understood that Shisui wouldn’t support their idea of Coup, and may even side with the village which would be disadvantageous, and since the whereabouts of Shinichi are already unknown, so he has to be patient and look for the right opportunity, by setting up the pieces in the right direction.

For a bloodless Coup, Fugaku would have to at least persuade Shisui to take Uchiha’s side and find and bring back Shinichi.

Only when the power of all three Mangekyou users is concentrated within the Clan, will they be able to eliminate the elders of the Konoha Council instantly, and seize the position of the Hokage while the other Clans in the Village haven’t reacted.

With that in mind, Fugaku straightforwardly rejected all the opinions and arguments and ordered Shisui, “Go and bring Shinichi back safely!”

“Yes!” – Shisui repeatedly nodded. The fact that Patriarch opted to trust him with the task of bringing Shinichi back safely really made him happy and he breathed in relief.

“Please rest assured everyone, I will definitely bring Shinichi back safe and sound!” – said Shisui with a bow.

And just as soon as he was about to leave, one of the Uchiha Chunin suddenly came inside running in a panic and shouted, “Please forgive me for the discourtesy of intrusion, but the situation is not good Captain, Sandaime and his Anbu have surrounded us!”

“What!?” – everyone was taken aback by the sudden news.

Shisui immediately knocked the Uchiha chunin who brought this news on the wall by the collar and shouted furiously, “What nonsense are you talking about? How can Hokage-Sama lead the Anbu to surround the Uchiha Clan!?”

The Uchiha Chunin who was suddenly knocked on the wall struggled to get rid of Shisui’s grip and roared, “Go and see for yourself, outside the Clan Land, there are so many of the ninjas surrounding the entire territory of the Clan.”

“How can that be?”

“Is the Village going to deal with us?”

“If that’s the case then what are we waiting for? Patriarch, please give the order!”

“Yes, Patriarch, please give the order to fight, it’s better to die while fighting rather than silently!”

“Yes, with you, Shinichi, and Shisui, we can definitely win, Sandaime is getting old, he wouldn’t be able to stop the Uchiha, we definitely have a chance!”

The meeting room that was quiet for some time was again filled with chaotic noise, the fire of rebellion was burning in the eyes of all the Uchiha present, and Shisui’s expression was really horrified.

‘What do I do? I need to stop them, if this goes on; then the entire village will be destroyed!’

Looking at the faces of people that were clamouring Shisui couldn’t think of anything at the moment.

‘What would you do in this situation Kuroto-San?’

This was Shisui’s thought.

While Shisui was searching for some hope, Fugaku who sat at his seat also had a gloomy face as he was brainstorming.

Perhaps it’s because he has awakened the Mangekyou, Fugaku was still calm and analyzing the situation.

And precisely because of his calmness; he quickly figured out Sandaime’s intentions behind this move.

If the Village Leaders really decided to exterminate the Uchiha Clan, then the battle would have already broken right now, their attack would have been silent and decisive, and they would definitely not allow all the Uchiha elites to gather in one spot and excitedly discuss the idea of rebellion, as well as letting a Chunin discover their move, therefore losing the element of surprise.

With that understood, Fugaku muttered silently, ‘Seems like Sandaime just wants to deter us and stabilize the situation to the best of his ability!’

This was Fugaku’s conclusion.

After thinking this, Fugaku slowly got up from his seat.

Seeing the Patriarch stand up, the eyes of everyone fell upon him, waiting for the order.

Shisui who was in a panicked state also cast his eyes at him, at this moment his palms were sweating in nervousness and his heart was beating so fast that it would literally explode.

‘If you have never thought of using the Kotoamatsukami then what’s the point of having it in the first place?’

These words that Kuroto-San spoke kept resounded in his mind.

And at that moment Shisui finally understood that he has only one method to solve the situation from escalating.

He has made up his mind; if Uchiha Fugaku gave the order of a Coup d’état, Shisui will immediately use Kotoamatsukami and control him with the ultimate genjutsu.

Controlling Fugaku would be the best option.

But thinking this is one thing, being able to actually do is another.

Therefore, every second felt like an eternity as Shisui waited to listen to Fugaku’s response.

Facing everyone’s gaze Fugaku said solemnly, “Calm down everyone…, you three will stay here, and the rest will follow me while I talk with Sandaime to understand the situation!”

Patriarch’s words relieved Shisui a little, at least, he didn’t directly give the order for rebellion.

Leading a group of Uchiha-nin, Fugaku soon went outside.

…

Outside Uchiha Clan.

At this time hundreds of Konoha ninjas gathered around and surrounded the Uchiha Clan territory from all sides.

There were also about 2 dozen Anbu squads who stood on guard at various points.

All these ninjas were in a battle-ready state and as long as Sandaime gave the order, they will immediately rush into the Uchiha Clan to apprehend Uchiha Shinichi.

Of course, aside from the Anbu and some of the elites; most of these shinobi were not completely aware that their purpose here was not to hunt down Uchiha Shinichi but to suppress the Uchiha Clan if necessary.

Fugaku Uchiha who led a group of Uchiha-nin had a gloomier mood when he looked at the Konoha-nin surrounding Uchiha Clan.

Taking a deep breath to calm down his anger he said to his people, “You all stay here, only Shisui will follow me!”

After giving this order to the Uchiha-nin behind him, Fugaku led Shisui towards the point where Sandaime stood under the protection of an Anbu squad.

Fugaku and Shisui’s arrival also alerted the Anbu-nin, all the Konoha may not know but this very squad was aware of Uchiha Shisui’s Mangekyou Sharingan, therefore they were prepared for any attack.

After approaching Sandaime, Fugaku asked coldly but courteously, “Hokage-Sama, what are your intentions by surrounding my Clan?”

Hiruzen Sarutobi’s hawk-like eyes swept past Fugaku and Shisui, and said calmly, “By now you must have received the news that Uchiha Shinichi has betrayed the Village!”

Fugaku nodded coldly, there was no need to deny this.

Shisui hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Hokage-Sama, please rest assured, I will go and bring back Shinichi now!”

Shaking his head, Hiruzen denied Shisui’s request, “Now is a special time, none of the Uchiha-nin are allowed to leave the territory of the Clan, until the matter of Uchiha Shinichi is resolved!”

Fugaku who heard Sandaime’s words thought secretly, ‘It seems that Sandaime also knows that Shinichi has awakened the Mangekyou!’

Sandaime brought so many Konoha-nin just to deter the Uchiha Clan to give up the idea of Coup, and not get influenced by Shinichi’s Mangekyou, if the Elder Council wasn’t aware of this, they wouldn’t have mobilized so many ninjas to deal with an ordinary Uchiha.

Listening to Sandaime’s words, Shisui tried explaining, “Hokage-Sama, please trust me, I’ll bring back Shinichi!”

Taking a puff from his tobacco pipe, Sandaime shook his head and said in a calm and unquestionable voice, “I have already sent Anbu to hunt him down, he will be brought back soon whether dead or alive!”
