[Question: Who stole one of Shisui Uchiha's eyes, and who would eventually obtain the other?]
The question left everyone in the major ninja villages dumbfounded. They had only been shown a video of Shisui fighting five opponents and were expected to guess from that. Wasn't that a bit much?
Konoha's Chunin Ninja Exams had been called to an emergency halt, and all the village's big shots had gathered there, including Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and his two advisers, Koharu and Homura. Why wasn't Danzo there, you asked?
Good heavens, Danzo's absence is already the greatest favor he could do me. Hiruzen Sarutobi thought. He had finally managed to hide Danzo away for the time being, afraid that the furious Uchiha Clan would beat him to death on the spot. They were old teammates, after all, and Hiruzen still looked out for Danzo to some extent.
As for Konoha's major clans, there were Fugaku of the Uchiha Clan, Hyuga Hiashi of the Hyuga Clan, Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, Akimichi Chōza, and the heads of clans such as the Inuzuka and Aburame.
Once the clan heads arrived, none of them knew what to say. Such a sensitive matter was difficult to discuss in front of the Uchiha Clan's leader.
Seeing the tension in the air, Hiruzen said to Fugaku,
"Fugaku, rest assured. If anyone tries to harm the Uchiha Clan, Konoha absolutely won't let him get away with it."
But no one really took the Third's evasive words seriously. What, could Lord Third disband Root?
Obito and the others had not been driven out of the venue. Instead, the Anbu had taken them somewhere quiet, for fear they might disturb the Hokage's thinking.
Obito stared at the screen in boredom. Although he was furious, he knew he wasn't strong enough to avenge Brother Shisui yet. Suddenly, he noticed the screen change.

[Chat room]
Obito Uchiha: Why is there something strange in my head?
Kakashi: Idiot, Obito, don't say your thoughts out loud! The whole Shinobi World can hear you now.
Everyone else heard Obito's voice at the same moment.
Killer B: Yo, I'm Killer B, Kumogakure's strongest rapper, snuck out today, yo!
Fourth Raikage: You bastard! Killer B, you want another taste of my iron fist, don't you?
Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki: I see. It connects everyone and creates something they can use to chat? Fascinating.
Might Guy: Kakashi-san, let's have a youthful showdown!
Rin: Guy, aren't you right near us? Why use this?
Meanwhile, Shikaku Nara, who was with the Hokage, also discovered that the chat room wasn't limited to people from Konoha. Even other ninja villages could use it to communicate.
"Lord Third, I think we can try answering. Although there's a punishment for failure, judging by the last reward, it's worth taking the risk," Shikaku Nara said to Hiruzen Sarutobi after thinking it over.
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought about it and agreed, but he certainly couldn't expose his good brother himself, could he? First, he had to make it clear that he was absolutely not afraid of dying. It was only for the sake of his friendship with Danzo that he decided to let someone else answer.
Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki: My answer is Shimura Danzō.
Fourth Raikage: My answer is Shimura Danzō too.
Third Kazekage: Since you all say so, I'll choose Danzo too.
Good grief, I only hesitated for a moment, and you're all that brave? Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated no longer and entered his answer as well.
Third Hokage: Shimura Danzō.
Mito and Homura stared at Hiruzen in surprise. What's going on? You were just good brothers a moment ago, and now you've sold Danzo out? How can you do that to a friendship of so many years?
Hiruzen didn't mind. He knew Danzo all too well. He could make it up to him in private afterward, and Danzo wouldn't pursue the matter.
Meanwhile, at the Root Base, Danzo saw that Hiruzen had written his name down too and instantly flew into a rage. How can even you distrust me? I, Danzo, have always acted uprightly. How could I do such a thing? Our little boat of friendship capsized just like that.
Shimura Danzō: Hiruzen, I never thought you were this kind of person. Do you really distrust me so much?
Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't expected Danzo to be watching the screen either, so he simply pretended not to see him. That made Danzo even angrier.
Obito Uchiha: By the way, who is this Shimura Danzō? Why is everyone voting for him?
After Obito Uchiha asked that question, Minato Namikaze, who had just returned from a mission, hurried over to him.
"It's no good for you to know too much about this." With that, he called Kakashi and Rin over to him.
"Ah, Minato-sensei, you're back!" Obito exclaimed in delight when he saw Minato.
"Yes. After this happened, my mission was called off in an emergency, and I came back." Minato was also shocked by what had happened on the screen.
At this point, aside from the Kage of Kirigakure, the Kage of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure had all pointed the finger at Danzo.
[Answer incomplete. No punishment or reward]
Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki: The answer was wrong? That can't be right. Could it be that Danzo didn't get Shisui Uchiha's other eye?
Shikaku Nara: Obviously, he must have escaped his pursuers. As for who got the other eye, could it be that Shisui didn't survive in the end?
At home, Uchiha Itachi grew even more worried when he saw Shisui. After all, the ranking had said that Shisui would be killed.
Shisui looked at Itachi's tense expression and laughed.
"Itachi, don't be so nervous. If my sacrifice means something, then there's no need to grieve for me. As for the other eye, I think I already know."
"You know?" Itachi asked, looking puzzled.
"Yes. That person is... you," Shisui said thoughtfully.
Shisui Uchiha: The person who stole my eye was Danzo. Uchiha Itachi eventually obtained the other eye.
