"Did you kill Shisui?"
In the hall.
After seeing Hyuga Sho, Uchiha Itachi's Three-Tomoe pupils shifted, flashing with an ominous red light.
"Did that 'Madara' tell you again? Or did Danzo manipulate you?"
Facing Uchiha Itachi, Hyuga Sho remained calm and composed.
"I just want to know the answer..."
After a brief silence, Uchiha Itachi asked,
"After suffering several setbacks, especially the incident a year ago when Uchiha Shisui jumped off the cliff..."
Itachi had grown a lot.
"I took advantage of Uchiha Shisui's stubbornness, hoping he would become my subordinate. Unable to accept it, he chose suicide."
"..."
Uchiha Itachi fell silent again.
He seemed to be considering whether those words were true.
"Even if what you say is true..."
The next second.
Killing Intent appeared in Uchiha Itachi's eyes.
"I didn't come this time to avenge Shisui. I came to stop you."
Itachi was already prepared to bear the guilt.
To kill the man known as the White Devil, Hyuga Sho.
To return the village to the right path.
Rather than let him lead the village, bind Konoha to a war chariot, and drive it toward the abyss.
"Even if you put the Fifth Hokage... Tsunade, on the throne, you'd probably control everything from behind the scenes, wouldn't you?"
Just like he controlled the Hyuga Clan and the Uchiha Clan.
Even... the Konoha High Command.
All of Konoha trembled because of this man.
They prostrated themselves before his ambition.
Hyuga Sho was an existence even more terrifying than Shimura Danzō.
Such a threat absolutely could not be allowed to remain alive.
"Oh?"
Hyuga Sho raised an eyebrow.
"I underestimated you... Uchiha Itachi."
In terms of intelligence,
thirteen-year-old Uchiha Itachi could crush Uchiha Shisui by several dozen streets.
He had actually seen through, at a glance, what Sho intended
