Setsuna's Divine Play

Chapter 34: Setsuna's Divine Play

"Itachi!"

Shisui's expression shifted slightly, and he asked with a hint of nervousness, "What's wrong?"

He felt something was off.

He was somewhat familiar with the change Itachi had just undergone, which led him to a hidden guess.

Therefore, his words were laced with barely concealed excitement.

If Itachi really... that would be wonderful.

Itachi looked at his hands and murmured, "I think... Shisui, look at my eyes. Have they changed at all?"

"This..."

"Hm? Tell me!"

"I'm really curious, when my power stops increasing, how strong will my stats become?"

Shisui gave a wry smile.

What horrified them even more was that Kazuki couldn't see; he had no eyes at the moment.

People only cared about themselves. How many people had ever cared about the ninja clans behind them!

As he spoke the last sentence, a hint of sadness appeared on his face.

"Cough, cough!" Itachi coughed dryly and said, "Sorry, Shisui, I forgot."

Kazuki, lying on the bed, pondered.

Kazuki chuckled.

Just then, a rumor began to spread throughout the village.

"I don't know what to do, but something must be done."

Hiruzen Sarutobi would likely kneel, offering the Hokage hat with both hands.

Is this your reason for attacking him?

Shisui had lost his eyes; otherwise, he would have seen the complexity on Itachi's face.

"I said..." Itachi smiled and said, "Although he's always been frivolous, what he says often hits the nail on the head, directly addressing the essence of the matter."

Itachi shook his head and sighed, "If I had had Kazuki's help earlier, perhaps things would have been completely different."

Just as Kazuki had said, if the Uchiha could produce a Hokage, they would definitely not mind a great sacrifice.

Just like Danzō and Hiruzen.

He shook his head, "Moreover, I don't feel like you're doing this because of pain."

This incident thrust Danzō and Kazuki into the spotlight.

Shisui's face contorted, "Itachi, are you serious? Don't listen to Kazuki's nonsense; he's never been serious."

In terms of rewards, the system was not explicit.

"A plan?"

...Who on earth is so talented?

Five thousand ninja!

Damn it, if you had that many ninja, you would have openly demanded the position of Hokage long ago.

Kazuki believed that he was now stronger than Might Guy without opening the Eight Gates.

After spending more time with Kazuki, Itachi had also become mischievous, starting to act frivolous.

Among Ninjutsu, Taijutsu was considered Kazuki's weakness, yet it had still reached Level 5.

This was close to the level of an elite Jonin, nearing Hokage status.

The Uchiha clan had a total of five thousand ninja!

When Kazuki heard this, his jaw nearly dropped.

The Uchiha were a great clan!

Kurenai was stunned and exclaimed, "Are you crazy?"

A hint of anticipation also appeared in Kazuki's eyes.

Kazuki's reason was his strength.

Shisui's expression was unreadable: "I used to think Kazuki had also experienced some pain, but..."

Danzō had dispatched Root to attack Uchiha Kazuki, and the battle between them even destroyed the hospital.

Shisui was speechless and said, "You have a lot of confidence in Kazuki."

But!

The mission was undoubtedly completed.

"The Uchiha are inherently insane; are you only learning that today?"

Attacking a genius within the village for no reason, simply because he disliked them, was far too arrogant.

But!

After all, one of them was blind, and the other couldn't possibly see his own eyes.

Yishū liked to play pranks and was unlikeable.

"I really can't do this!" Yishū smiled slightly and said, "Oh right, Kurenai, do me a favor."

[Pupil Power...]

Before he began bombarding Kurenai, he assigned himself a mission.

Confirmed, Mangekyo!

"Why did I suddenly awaken it?" Itachi was very confused. "Shisui, what about you? How did you awaken your Mangekyo?"

The Uchiha had thought of something that would drive even the Hokage mad.

"Don't worry! I'll bear all the consequences."

The system's rewards would not be taken away.

With resentment in his heart, Shisui took Itachi to confirm his Mangekyo.

Root was detestable, yet their strength was well-known.

"Since he has unique insights into many things, why has he never acted?"

[Mission Complete!]

Was this even possible?

"Hmph!"

Publicly dispatching Root ninja to attack village ninja without reason had almost incited the wrath of everyone.

"He said that only by me becoming Hokage could I better change the relationship between the village and the Uchiha. I agree with that statement; do you think it's wrong?"

Itachi said seriously, "But, Shisui, you can't deny that sometimes, Yishū's words hit the nail on the head."

Danzō was too presumptuous.

Yishū's smile was strange, faintly tinged with blood.

It was merely overshadowed by the benefits brought by the Eternal Mangekyo.

It seemed that from the beginning, Itachi hadn't called him "Brother Shisui."

Kurenai, lying on her side, opened her eyes and yawned lazily. "When are you going to do something human? Huh? Your eyes are blind, you just had them transplanted, and you're already... Sigh, can't you rest for a bit?"

Shisui: "..."

This strength shocked many.

Did Danzō still dare to cause trouble?

A flicker of pain crossed Shisui's face, and he said calmly, "Don't dwell on this, Itachi. Everyone's awakening process is different. I went through some difficult things."

Itachi nodded slightly. "Never mind, let's not talk about this. No matter the reason, it's my Mangekyo. Shisui, with these eyes now, many plans can be executed."

He always felt like this guy was doing it on purpose.

"As for Yishū, I have no idea."

When everything had settled, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mmm!"

"You doing this..."

The ninja clan renowned as the strongest in the Ninja World.

But!

This was, of course, correct.

[Mission: Conquer Kurenai Yuhi!]

Kurenai's expression was grim. "I won't refuse your request, but I don't care about the consequences!"

Itachi showed a smile. "First, I want to become the clan head. As for how to do it, just ask Yishū; he'll definitely know."

Konoha had another incident.

But!

[Mission Reward: Pupil Power Increase!]

Shisui also let out a sigh. "Itachi, perhaps what you're saying makes sense, but have you considered why Yishū never acts?"

He wished he could gouge out his other eye and never see the Uchiha again.

Yishū, however, had directly killed over a dozen.

Therefore, countless people, intentionally or unintentionally, turned their gazes toward Danzō and Kazuki!

The Uchiha Clan was instead ignored by him.

His expression shifted slightly.

"That's right!" Itachi looked up at the sky and laughed, "Didn't I tell you? I want to become the clan head of the Uchiha."

Even Shisui didn't believe the Uchiha could become Hokage.

Kazuki chuckled and leaned down to Kurenai's ear, whispering a few words.

Don't say it's unlike, it just makes people want to curse.

Perhaps it was because he had just obtained the Eternal Mangekyo, and his Pupil Power was already increasing wildly.

Little Kurenai Yuhi was no match, easily taken down.

Shisui snorted coldly.

"We've worked so hard for so long, yet there's been no result at all."

Such rumors spread.

Kazuki pondered for a long time, then a shadowy, aged figure appeared in his mind.

Uchiha Setsuna!
