Fourth Mangekyo

Fourth Mangekyo

"Yishū!"

Fugaku's low voice roused Yishū from his thoughts.

He yawned, looking somewhat tired. "Everyone, I'm going to sleep. I just underwent an eye transplant and I'm a little exhausted, so if you have something to say, say it quickly."

He turned to Fugaku. "The Sarutobi Clan should have between two and three thousand ninja. As for the exact number, I suggest you ask Hiruzen Sarutobi. He should know better than I do."

Fugaku's eye twitched.

No need for "should." He definitely knew better than you!

"How did you know?"

Muneyoshi could not help questioning him.

Even they elders did not know about this, yet Yishū, a carefree young genius, did?

Yishū looked utterly unconcerned. "Believe it or not, did I beg you to believe me?"

"With these eyes of mine!"

"Anyway, that's how it is!" Itachi shrugged, his tone carrying a little of Yishū's flavor. "Do you believe your own younger brother, or do you believe the Hokage?"

He discovered that constant forbearance would not make Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others restrain themselves. He began leaning toward the Hawk Faction, adopting a tougher stance toward outsiders.

After Itachi brought Shisui somewhere deserted, Shisui finally could not hold back any longer.

Even conservatively estimated, one clan would have a thousand ninja!

Itachi silently watched Shisui vent. Only after Shisui finally calmed down did he speak. "Shisui, are you doubting Yishū?"

Inside Kurenai's room.

He was confined, with Hiruzen Sarutobi's people guarding him. Releasing him would only take a word from them.

This was only...

Setsuna looked at him with a half-smile.

The attack on Uchiha Yishū strengthened his desire to launch an armed coup.

Except!

He stopped paying attention to everyone and walked into the room.

And what was the result?

Danzo attacked Yishū, yet you forgave Danzo in his place!

The punishment was removal from the position of Hokage advisor and confinement.

Since you, Uchiha Muneyoshi, classified him among the Dove Faction, then you had to take responsibility for him.

When he heard that the Sarutobi Clan had the Three Thousand Sarutobi Army, he hesitated again.

Shisui had merely been left speechless just now. Now, he was outright choking on his words.

"Three Thousand Sarutobi Army. Do you believe it?"

"Before answering me, you'd better think about what has happened recently."

Whether Yishū did not care about Danzo's sneak attack was his own business.

He needed to discuss it with Setsuna.

After entering the room, Yishū scooped Kurenai up and headed deeper inside.

These ninja were different from those of other ninja clans. Ninja from other clans would weigh their options and consider whether to act against the Uchiha, but these people would inevitably become enemies of the Uchiha.

Even the compensation had been fought for by Setsuna.

Heh heh!

"Heh heh, in front of you, I'm not even human."

"Isn't he a true ninja?"

Setsuna glanced at him, then followed him out.

"Doesn't he possess the Will of Fire?"

He was still angry that Fugaku and Setsuna had ruined his plan.

This punishment was utterly painless.

On the contrary.

"Good. You're all doing very well."

"Not bad, Itachi. I think highly of you. Keep it up—become the Uchiha Clan Head soon!"

A few people remained behind, deep in thought.

Shisui's expression twisted slightly as he said, "Itachi, are you doubting Lord Hokage? He is a ninja devoted wholeheartedly to Konoha, a true ninja. What does he uphold most?"

"The Will of Fire!"

What right did you have to forgive him in his place?

There was only one word for it: bullshit!

He had allowed Itachi to bring him here because he trusted Itachi.

But Muneyoshi agreed.

His solitary departing figure seemed somewhat lonely.

Especially recently, he had to face Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others on one side while soothing the Uchiha within the clan on the other.

Mangekyo!

Without Shisui's death, Itachi had actually awakened the Mangekyo on his own.

There was nothing more to say.

Muneyoshi was choked up, his face darkening.

Let the village see the Uchiha's attitude.

Muneyoshi had clearly thought of it as well. His expression grew uglier, yet he did not believe he was wrong.

The Three Tomoe slowly connected, forming a new pattern.

Heh heh, whether he was removed from office or not was just a word from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Yishū, who was fighting hard, suddenly froze. Then a strange smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

The others were actually blaming him too!

He had his own plans.

Three Tomoe emerged in Itachi's eyes as astonishing Pupil Power spread outward.

This Mangekyo possessed the power of Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu. Yishū had originally believed it would never appear.

Itachi's very first sentence made Shisui's breathing hitch.

His expression remained calm. "I will use these eyes of mine to see this village. From today onward, I won't believe anyone's words. I will see with my own eyes!"

As for everyone else, the opportunity had been given. Whether they could seize it depended on themselves.

"I'm leaving too."

"If your answer is the same as before, I'll laugh at you, Shisui!"

As Itachi's words fell, his Pupil Power became even more astonishing.

"What do you mean, Itachi?" Shisui suddenly turned his head and stared at Itachi.

Shisui froze, then said angrily, "Itachi, you... you've become bad."

His expression was irritated as he paced back and forth.

At this moment, Itachi underwent a fundamental transformation.

Using his own words against him was something the old Itachi would never have done.

Kurenai looked helpless. "Try acting like a human."

Had he been excluded?

Had he not given enough for the Uchiha?

Itachi pulled Shisui away as well.

He did not give Shisui any chance to speak.

After becoming clan head, Fugaku had also been under immense pressure. He had once been close to Muneyoshi, agreed with the Dove Faction's ideas, and suppressed the Hawk Faction Uchiha.

"Itachi, why did you pull me away? Why wouldn't you let me speak?"

Only Uchiha Muneyoshi remained where he stood.

"You..."

He was a man with the Eternal Mangekyo.

Yishū yawned again. "All right, all of you should leave. Shisui and Itachi, you too. I've already had the eyes transplanted, so there's no need to worry about my safety."

If the Sarutobi Clan alone had so many ninja, what about the Shimura Clan?

What about the Koharu Clan?

What about the Mitokado Clan?

This was something he could only discuss with Setsuna, despite how much he disliked him.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

It could be said that when Muneyoshi chose to let the matter rest, his relationship with Yishū was severed.

Fugaku spoke in a low voice, turned, and left.

With several thousand more ninja enemies appearing out of nowhere, even Fugaku could not help feeling irritated.

Someone who could crush all of Konoha would not care about one Monkey, let alone a whole troop of monkeys.

He was already exhausted, yet Yishū was being so inconsiderate.

His expression darkened.

Muneyoshi turned and left.

After saying that.

The Uchiha Yishū in Setsuna's memory always repaid every grievance.

"I will definitely see through everything!"

Interesting!

Far too interesting!

Konoha was currently beset by turmoil. If the Uchiha wanted to integrate into Konoha, yielding now was the best opportunity.

Yishū did not care at all about what the others thought.

These four were so close they might as well have slept in the same bed.

The moment you opened your mouths to demand money, everything became pointless.

Yishū had never been a magnanimous person.

"This time, will your butcher's blade be aimed at the clan, or at the Sarutobi?"

After smiling, Yishū lowered his head and continued working hard.
