The Shadow Clone guarding Shisui was taken aback for a moment, then called Naruto over from outside, where he had been training.
Naruto gave Shisui a suspicious look before saying, "So what if you know the Uchiha Clan's current situation? Don't tell me you think you can escape from here? You've already broken free of Kotoamatsukami's control. It's time to think about yourself."
"For example, enjoy the fun of being a bystander, just like me."
Shisui understood that he was a prisoner, and he admitted that Naruto made a lot of sense.
During these past few months as a prisoner, he had indeed lived comfortably. Though he had lost his freedom, he no longer had to worry about the village or the clan. He could peacefully be a useless blind man, needing only to think about what new dishes there would be tomorrow.
Yet in the dead of night, he could never stop himself from thinking of the clan, of his close friend caught between the village and the clan.
At that thought, Shisui sighed softly. "Avoidance can't solve the problem. I still want to know about the clan's situation. Besides, wouldn't telling me make things interesting for you too?"
Naruto was somewhat surprised by Shisui's change and said with a smile, "There's no harm in telling you. Ever since you disappeared, the relationship between the Police Force and Konoha hasn't eased at all. Instead, their conflict has intensified to the point that everyone knows about it."
"The newer ninja in the village all speculate that the Police Force and the higher-ups will erupt into conflict."
"In other words, your 'death' merely delayed the countdown to the Uchiha coup. It changed nothing. You might as well wait with me for the day the Uchiha are destroyed."
Shisui looked at Naruto
