Shisui's speech left many of the ninja present confused.
It was not that they doubted Shisui's words, but that he had been too objective. He had not slandered the Third Hokage or spoken up for the Uchiha in the slightest; he had merely criticized the Third Hokage's favoritism and inaction.
However, his words resonated with many Konoha jonin.
Unlike ordinary Chunin and genin, they had access to the Third Hokage and could sometimes truly experience just how disgusting that sort of inaction was.
Hyuga Hiashi in particular had a gloomy look flash through his eyes, though he quickly composed himself.
During the Cloud Village Envoy Incident, the Hyuga Clan had clearly been the victims, yet they had been forced to hand over the killer. Back then, the Third Hokage had seemed to give the Hyuga Clan a choice, but in truth, there had been no choice at all.
If they did not hand over the "killer," then once war broke out, the Hyuga Clan would not be able to escape blame.
And in the face of such provocation, the Third Hokage had been far too weak, utterly unbefitting of a Hokage.
Meanwhile, in a corner of the crowd, Sasuke's face had turned livid. His nails dug deeply into his flesh, and even the Cursed Seal on his body showed signs of activating, stirring restlessly.
"Don't stop me, you two! I need to get to the bottom of this!"
Sasuke shouted hysterically. Even Karin and Haku working together could not calm him down. In the end, Kushina had to step in to stabilize Sasuke's Chakra.
"Silly child, don't forget that you still have clansmen in Uzushio Village."
Hearing those words, Sasuke gradually calmed down. Still, he carved these truths into his mind. There were three key figures behind Uchiha Night.
