Shisui's Urgency

Clang!

Ding!

Konoha.

A training ground somewhere within the Uchiha Clan Compound.

Two figures crossed paths.

The instant they landed, they simultaneously flicked their wrists.

Two kunai shot out, collided with a crisp clang, then ricocheted back toward them.

Uchiha Yishū, the rising star of the Uchiha.

Kazuki and Shisui were Kagami Uchiha's grandsons.

Either they looked helplessly at Kazuki's home, their expressions ashen.

Shisui sighed. "I was just about to go see him. Not long ago, I invited him, and he said he needed to think about it."

Happy?

Like hell!

Oppose him?

Faced with this situation, they had no choice but to sigh.

Kazuki's usual attitude and status gave him that confidence.

However.

Cheerful singing drifted out continuously, accompanied by a crackling racket.

"That feeling..." Itachi looked around and said quietly, "It feels a little like Lord Hokage."

If anyone asked, Kazuki would tell them very seriously that this was called rock music!

Sacred!

Especially Brother Shisui's expression—wasn't that a little exaggerated?!

Was Brother Kazuki some kind of Great Demon King?

"Itachi!" Shisui suddenly said, "What kind of person is Kazuki in your eyes?"

Being taken as a disciple by all three Sannin was indeed unprecedented.

Within the Uchiha, Kazuki was rated even more highly than Shisui.

"My God."

Protest?

Shisui suddenly recalled Kazuki's assessment: there were three people in the Uchiha whom one would never mistake, even at first sight.

But he had refused. What now?

Just as he had said, he could not see through Kazuki, much less predict his choices.

Cough, cough!

Itachi's words were full of admiration, and his eyes brimmed with envy.

Itachi added, "Brother Kazuki has always rejected 'those people' within the clan. He has even come to blows with them several times. I think he should be an inheritor of the Will of Fire, naturally on our side—our companion."

Gentle?

Even though Kagami Uchiha never fought or competed for anything, his home was still located in the Uchiha's core district.

The two stood motionless, silently testing their strength.

Shisui suddenly thought of a possibility, and his expression became even more solemn.

Neither Itachi nor Shisui had ever received an evaluation like "unseen in a lifetime."

"Hehe, Brother Shisui's Body Flicker Technique is still as outstanding as ever!"

Itachi, were you serious?

Were you joking?

A direct strike to the soul!

Shisui understood, yet he was still stunned.

Like going to war!

Hehe!

Whenever I think of Kazuki, my scalp goes numb and my body twitches as though struck by lightning.

How could that be?!

For the time being, there was no comment on the latter part of Itachi's words.

Right?!

Uchiha Clan Compound, Kazuki's home.

That feeling was very similar to when Shisui revealed his Mangekyo. Only, Shisui's was gentler, while Kazuki's carried a fierce aggression.

Shisui fell silent and stared at the ninja before him.

"Hey! Watch out!"

They had long since grown accustomed to Kazuki's noise attacks.

"Then I'll head back first!"

"There definitely won't be a problem!"

"La la la la la la, I'm a little expert at selling newspapers..."

"However!"

Shisui was dumbfounded.

Itachi was now an Uchiha jonin with the Three Tomoe Sharingan. He was far stronger than an ordinary Konoha jonin, and not much weaker than Shisui himself.

Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique and hurriedly left.

"Brother Shisui..."

If there was any greatest difference between the two sides, it was only...

Only those who possessed the Mangekyo could understand how terrifying it was.

Tear troughs, Uchiha Itachi!

The kind of eyes that could make children cry...

He said in a low voice, "After hearing what you just said, I suspect Kazuki has the Mangekyo too."

Whenever Danzo mentioned Kazuki now, his first instinct was to come over and eat him alive.

Just thinking about those methods sent chills down one's spine.

The earlier part was where the real problem lay.

Shisui gave a dry cough.

A trace of worry flashed through Itachi's brow.

The other man's expression changed slightly, as though he had sensed something. He swung his kunai and stabbed behind him.

Shisui subconsciously covered his eyes.

If Kazuki could become a disciple of the three Sannin, he would surely be able to better bridge the relationship between the village and the clan, making the villagers acknowledge the Uchiha.

However!

"Brother Shisui, what are you thinking about?" Itachi asked curiously. "Something happy?"

How could you think that? That was far too rude. Had you been infected too, Shisui?!

Get serious!

Shisui simply revealed his Mangekyo. Itachi had known about it long ago anyway.

Mangekyo!

Could Kazuki have the Mangekyo too?

If so, it would naturally be best to win him over.

In Itachi's eyes, being qualified to become a pillar of the Uchiha Clan was already excellent. With a little guidance, Kazuki could become a pillar of the village.

At that moment, Shisui did not even know what expression to make.

Based on Kazuki's words, the person he had casually associated with was your father too!

Shisui was somewhat shaken. His aura became utterly listless, and even his hair drooped.

Happy?

It looked worse than crying.

Shisui sighed.

Itachi smiled. "Brother Kazuki is a very gentle person. He is talented too, and he was even taken as a disciple by the three Sannin."

"I will... do my best to persuade him!"

Short black hair and black eyes, with delicate features.

Another crisp clang rang out.

Itachi froze.

"Forget it!" Shisui sighed. "Itachi, I was just thinking about Kazuki."

A pattern like a Fūshuriken flashed through his eyes, like four pointed blades.

Shisui's fame had spread throughout the entire ninja world.

That damned, inexplicable sense of agreement.

Would he seem weak in front of Kazuki?

Insignificant?

Only twelve or thirteen years old.

It could be called a single strike straight to the soul!

Shisui's breathing quickened slightly. He said in a low voice, "Itachi, I'm going back first. I need to see Kazuki immediately."

The two withdrew at the same time.

Majestic!

At the same time, he had his distinctive tear troughs.

"You've improved quickly. You can already predict the trajectory of my attacks."

The sharp kunai was less than twenty centimeters from his body, its surface gleaming with cold light.

"Hm?"

"Brother Kazuki?" Itachi's eyes lit up. "What happened? Did you persuade him to join us?"

He was a monster who had awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan at barely ten years old.

Shisui: "...Are you sure?"

One of them gave a soft laugh, and his entire body faded from the spot.

Itachi thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I can't see through Brother Kazuki. His Pupil Power is too deep. Every time I stand before him, I feel my own weakness and insignificance."

Almost everyone around them was an Uchiha jonin or an Uchiha higher-up.

Itachi's expression changed as well. He said gravely, "Then it really is possible."

Uchiha Itachi!

Itachi had heard his father, the clan head, say that Kazuki was a born ninja. His talent was unprecedented in his lifetime, and he would certainly become a pillar of the Uchiha Clan.

Either the front door was tightly shut.

Nose, Uchiha Shisui!

Shisui did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Being taken as a disciple by those three masters at once is unique in all of Konoha. The three Sannin are also Lord Hokage's disciples. He will definitely understand us and join us!"

Even among the Uchiha, who had no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women, he was undoubtedly strikingly handsome.

Especially that unique ability!

For example, his Mangekyo ability, Kotoamatsukami.

The two fell quiet for a moment.

Though they were both exceptional, awakening the Three Tomoe early and becoming Uchiha jonin.

Those people were naturally the radicals within the Uchiha, members of the Hawk Faction.

Ding!

Itachi also felt that something was off.

Mangekyo!

If Kazuki had the Mangekyo too... then there would be far too many variables.

However!

The surrounding neighbors.

"Brother Kazuki?"

Want to know what kind of tormenting little demon Kazuki was?

Go take a look at the Ninjutsu of Darkness!

Even the infamous Ninjutsu of Darkness had nearly collapsed.

The two figures rushed forward, caught the kunai, and crossed paths once more.

With a startled cry, the vanished man reappeared, kunai in hand, blocking the other's thrust.

"It was as if the other person were a towering tree."

But!

"Huh?"

Several times, the two sides had nearly erupted into open conflict, causing a major scene.

Amid such a noise attack, Shisui returned.
