Showing Off Muscles

Chapter 17: Showing Off Muscles

The appearance of Wood Release made Konoha's higher-ups nervous.

This matter also involved two pairs of Mangekyo.

No matter where they were placed, they were a force that couldn't be ignored.

Konoha, already not peaceful, was now even more turbulent beneath the surface.

Many major ninja clans began to reduce the number of missions their clan ninjas undertook.

Many people held a skeptical attitude towards Yishū's words, unanimously believing that not a single word he spoke was true.

No one would believe him.

Danzō, Third Hokage: "He's cunning!"

The person who arrived was Shisui.

He had originally planned to tease him a few words, but looking at Shisui at this moment... never mind!

If he continued to play, Shisui would be broken.

Jonin as subordinates, what about ordinary Uchiha?

Yishū chuckled lightly and said, "Alright, let's be frank. I did it. I won't hide it from you!"

Accompanied by the sound of a cane tapping the floor, the Third Hokage sighed softly.

Danzō and the Third Hokage's eyes met, gazing deeply at each other.

Shisui had considered countless answers, but this was definitely not among them.

"Continue!"

This was more than one-tenth of Konoha's total Jonin!

Shisui fell silent.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said coldly, "Shisui has Mangekyo, so it's possible he set this up. But Yishū? Who among you knows he has Mangekyo? Before today, no one did."

Shisui took a deep breath.

So, was his silence a way of protecting someone?

This one-eyed man might still have several Wood Release ninja under his command.

What he liked to see most was you all not believing, yet having to do as I thought.

Yishū: "..."

Hokage's Office.

That was a disaster capable of triggering a Ninja World War!

Yishū retorted, "Shisui, do you think I did it? Did I dig out your eyes?"

Yishū repeated, "For Konoha!"

Yishū was speechless and said, "Shisui, don't you think we're both foolish? Two blind men, staring at each other? Can you see me, or can I see you?"

Furthermore, he was uneasy about his Mangekyo falling into someone else's hands.

Moreover, where there was existence, there would be traces.

"I am a genius of the Uchiha Clan. I was an Uchiha Jonin in my early teens. My current strength, Shisui, you understand?"

"For Konoha!"

Danzō stood up and said coldly, "I am not someone who waits passively."

Jonin?!

Shisui's hand trembled slightly.

Yishū glanced at Shisui.

Their factions were deeply intertwined; they had survived well since the Warring States period, and they must have their own ways of survival.

"Hmph!"

Shisui responded with indifference.

The Third Hokage's face grew even more aged.

"Shisui, you've grown up."

However, how could one not be attached to such a land?

He had never truly understood his younger brother.

Shisui suddenly felt a chill run through his body, as if his bones were radiating cold.

Because Yishū had also lost his eyes.

"If not, Danzō, what do you plan to do?"

"Everyone is suspicious, what's the point?"

The effect of Kotoamatsukami was truly astonishing.

Shisui's expression was blank as he said, "You don't even have eyes now, how can you cry? Crying with empty eye sockets, do you want to share your feelings?"

Never underestimate the ninja clans that existed when Konoha was born.

Hearing Yishū's admission, he actually felt relieved.

He had been harboring anger in his heart.

This was the strength of Konoha's strongest clan.

The result was very unfriendly to Danzō.

Although my eyes are still with me, it really hurt when they were dug out.

"Status comes with strength, and naturally, people will follow!" Yishū smiled and said, "So, I'm not without a foundation in the Uchiha. On the contrary, I have several Jonin under me, six to be precise!"

Mitokado Homura said helplessly, "What do we do now?"

"...Continue speaking!"

"Let's investigate slowly!"

The protagonist left, and the Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix exchanged glances before bidding farewell to the Third Hokage.

Shisui's voice involuntarily rose, "Why?"

At least, Yishū didn't plan to hide anything from him, unlike how he'd found an excuse to fool the Third Hokage.

"Didn't you ever think that this was a play staged and directed by Uchiha Yishū? He treated all of us like fools and played with us!"

They didn't trust Shisui, but they acknowledged his love for the village.

I sacrificed my Mangekyo, you can't not pay.

The Third Hokage, however, believed that if Danzō could create one Wood Release, couldn't he create a second?

At this moment, while Shisui was reeling from the blow, it was time to let him witness my might!

At this moment.

After a long time.

Not to mention that this Wood Release user had once gone out on missions, making it impossible to avoid everyone's sight.

"Furthermore, Kurotsuchi! His Wood Release targets not only Tailed Beasts but also the Uchiha. Everyone has, intentionally or unintentionally, concealed things from the Uchiha. Would this Uchiha Yishū, this delinquent who doesn't do his job properly, know?"

Danzō and the Third Hokage began to suspect each other as well.

The door to the hospital room opened, and someone walked in, approaching the bed and silently gazing at Yishū.

Yishū slightly raised his head and met his gaze.

That's rude!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was grim;

And!

Kurenai went to see him off.

When he woke up.

This was related to the entire ninja clan!

This was exactly the mindset Yishū was aiming for.

No one spoke.

...Shisui's attitude was also strange!

It seemed like he was hiding something.

Removing these, where did six Jonin come from to be Yishū's subordinates?

Some people vaguely knew that such a Wood Release ninja did exist, but they didn't understand much about him.

After chatting with Yishū for a while, Jiraiya said, "If you need any help, just ask me," and turned to leave.

He was already over sixty years old, definitely an elder among ninja, and his physical functions and mental state had long since been unable to keep up.

Only when he was alone in the room did the Third Hokage mutter to himself;

"Is this a trap? There are flaws everywhere. If it's a trap, it's so crude?"

Say a few truthful words to help him relax.

But who dared to gamble?

Yishū possessed a system and had long since become a sensory ninja through it. Shisui's every move could not escape his perception.

Yishū usually liked to fool around, but this time, it was simply too outrageous.

"What?"

Only a cold snort answered him.

"Why did you do this?"

Danzō's voice grew colder.

Yesterday, after Uchiha Yishū woke up, the Konoha higher-ups, the great ninja clans, and representatives of the civilian ninja held a meeting.

What if it was true?

Yishū's voice was faint, as if it could scatter into the air at any moment.

He let out a sigh.

Danzō believed Hiruzen Sarutobi had stolen the Mangekyo, because he had already taken the Wood Release ninja.

But!

"They are spread throughout Uchiha, gathering intelligence for me."

"Heavens!" Yishū let out a soft sob, murmuring, "My brother, you suspect me? Sob sob! I don't want to live anymore."

Shisui's words were low.

Konoha's Four Guardian Beasts gathered once more.

These forty Jonin included Yishū, Shisui, and even elders like Fugaku, Sougi, and Setsuna!

The clan head and the elders also had their own direct subordinates.

Six Uchiha Jonin, led by Yishū, was a powerful force that no one would dare to ignore, no matter where it was placed.

We need to pursue a path of sustainable development; we can't treat Shisui like a disposable item, the kind you use and then throw away.

From Itachi's mouth, after learning what had happened, he almost lost his mind.

The Uchiha had nearly thirty Jonin, with some more in the shadows, bringing the total to around forty.

"As for that Uchiha Muto, hehe, he isn't among the Uchiha Jonin registered in the village. I don't know where he came from."

"Danzō!" The Third Hokage reprimanded, "You'd best not mess around. The current Uchiha are a powder keg. If something happens, I won't be able to protect you."

Before coming here, he wasn't sure if Yishū was the one who had done this.

Without realizing it, Yishū had actually become a fourth force within the Uchiha factions, alongside the clan head faction, the Dove Faction, and the Hawk Faction.

It was laughable; he had always treated him as a mischievous brat!

In the end, the brat had already become a king.
