Based on the Chuunibyou
Shisui was deeply shaken upon hearing these words. No matter how Danzo's words sounded, Shisui couldn't believe them. This was because Shisui had served as the Fourth Hokage's bodyguard during the Night of the Nine-Tails! This was a closely guarded secret of the Anbu.
Even Danzo, who had infiltrated the Anbu extensively, wouldn't waste his time and effort on something so trivial.
If Danzo had to keep track of who the guards were for each particular generation of the Hokage, then Danzo job would be far too exhausting.
At this moment, Shisui deeply realized Danzo's ambition. He never expected that Danzo would even want to eliminate the Danzo.
Eliminating the Hokage from Konoha is not something a normal person would say.
Root, who had hindered Root, dared to plot against them. Shisui couldn't imagine what else they wouldn't dare to do.
Uchiha Shisui frowned, his eyes flickering, hesitating whether to activate Kotoamatsukami directly to straighten Danzo.
Danzo had been observing Uchiha Shisui's face and noticed that Shisui's eyes were filled with hesitation, occasionally flashing with determination, as well as a vague, inexplicable sense of danger, which made Danzo somewhat suspicious.
"Danzo! Your idea is correct, but the problem is that the information about Jinchuriki is handled by the First Squad, not by our Sixth Company. Although I am the captain of the Sixth Company, I don't even know who the Jinchuriki are."
Secondly, the Fourth Hokage is highly respected by the villagers. If a decapitation operation were to be carried out, would it cause unrest in the village?
Shisui decided to appease Danzo for now, find a way to leave, and then return to consult the Fourth Hokage before making a final decision.
Kotoamatsukami is too powerful, and its use places a tremendous burden on the body, requiring more than ten years of rest to recover its eye power. The decision must be made only after consulting the Hokage. It must never be used lightly based on personal likes or dislikes.
"We already have information about the Jinchuriki, so don't worry, Shisui. All we need to do is bring the Jinchuriki here quietly."
As for launching a decapitation strike, we need your help.
"Shisui, you are a member of the Fourth Hokage's clan, and you are renowned throughout the Shinobi World as Body Flicker Shisui. I believe the Fourth Hokage will lower his guard and agree to your invitation."
Danzo's soft-spoken words revealed the powerful intelligence system of the Root.
When the Jinchuriki arrive at the Root's base, they will undoubtedly become Danzo's trump card against the Fourth Hokage.
"I understand! Although the Fourth Hokage is my clansman, as you said, he is far too dangerous! As a guardian in the shadows, I must be responsible for Konoha! I am willing to serve you!"
Danzo, when will you launch your operation!?
Uchiha Shisui's face was serious, his eyes filled with determination.
Danzo was somewhat surprised by Shisui's words, and a deep unease flashed through his heart. To Uchiha Shisui, the Fourth Hokage was like a mentor, and the two had always had a harmonious relationship, a fact that Danzo was well aware of.
Danzo had initially thought it would take considerable persuasion to convince Shisui to defect. He was surprised at how easily he had succeeded, which stirred a flicker of doubt in his Danzo.
"Shisui feels very different from before... Moreover, Shisui gives me a dangerous feeling, like, like Uchiha Nara and Uchiha Fugaku, could it be...?"
Danzo, deep in thought, considered a terrible possibility. After a long silence, Danzo made up his mind and said in a low voice:
"Tonight, we will meet at the entrance of the Shiranui clan's territory in Konoha and rescue the Jinchuriki first."
Then, you go to the Fourth Hokage's residence and try to lure him there. You could do this by using information about the Jinchuriki, or through other means related to your friendship with the Fourth Hokage.
Once we lure the fourth generation here, with your help and the combined efforts of myself and my many subordinates, this revolution is sure to succeed.
For Konoha! For Shisui! We must bear all of this!
Upon hearing these words, Shisui's eyes flashed with struggle. After a few breaths, Shisui seemed to have figured something out, and with a firm gaze, he said in a deep voice:
"I understand! I will complete the mission, for Konoha!"
Danzo watched Shisui's exaggerated performance, his unease reaching its peak. As a cunning old fox who was well-versed in the ways of power, Shisui's performance could not fool him at all.
Uchiha Shisui should at least have asked about the aftermath of launching the decapitation revolution. Or he should have carefully inquired about the strength of the Root members and compared it to the Fourth Hokage's strength. His quick agreement must have been a trap.
Danzo had seen far too many ninjas who achieved fame at a young age in Konoha's more than fifty-year history. Although Shisui was among the most outstanding, in Danzo's eyes, Shisui's mind was still too immature.
Danzo stood up from the futon, bowed slightly with a solemn expression, and said:
"Shisui! I'm entrusting this to you! The peace of Konoha requires our sacrifice!"
Upon seeing Danzo's posture, Shisui immediately stood up, bowed in return, and loudly proclaimed:
"Yes, sir!"
After Shisui finished responding, he turned and walked towards the door, preparing to return to the ground along the route he had taken.
"I am here, awaiting your good news, Shisui."
Danzo watched Shisui's retreating figure and whispered his words of advice once more.
Upon hearing this, Shisui paused for a moment. He nodded with his back to Danzo, left Danzo's office, and quickened his pace toward the stairwell.
Danzo sat down, slowly closed the scroll he had shown to Shisui, and then got up and put it back on the wall cabinet.
After tidying up, Danzo walked out of the room and gently clapped his hands.
Snap! Snap!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Thirteen figures Body Flicker Technique appeared in front of Danzo, kneeling on one knee to await orders.
"Don't let Uchiha Shisui leave the base. Take his eyes. Law, ring the emergency bell and order everyone to annihilate Uchiha Shisui who has infiltrated the organization."
"Hi!" X13
Brush!
Thirteen figures used the Body Flicker Technique and vanished from their original positions.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A moment later, a loud bell rang out from the underground base.
This underground base is intricate and complex, with numerous rooms and passageways. The path leading to the Shisui is one of the routes within the base, and even if you were to leave from here and run away, it would take at least fifteen minutes.
Danzo's delay, Uchiha Shisui was unable to leave the base.
"There must be something wrong with Uchiha Shisui. No matter what, we must keep the secret of this base."
Moreover, that dangerous feeling that Uchiha Shisui had seemed familiar... I hope it will be fruitful."
Danzo watched the figures of Root members in their Anbu uniforms moving about the base, a resolute thought flashing through his mind.
The Mangekyō Sharingan houses a strange Dōjutsu. Danzo originally intended to ambush Shisui directly, but after careful consideration, he decided to send his subordinates to capture him while he observed from behind.
After leaving Danzo's office, Uchiha Shisui ran quickly, crossing several bridges, when he heard a piercing bell suddenly ringing from inside the base.
Shisui felt a sense of unease and quickened his pace, rushing forward. He only needed to turn one corner to reach the stairwell entrance, and by going up the stairs, he could leave this place.
