"Are you following me to ask me why I did this?"

Seeing the appearance of Shisui, Yu seemed to have guessed what he wanted to ask.

"No..."

"In a way, I should thank you."

However, somewhat unexpectedly, Shisui actually thanked him.

"Thank me?"

Hearing this, Yu was stunned. He originally thought that when Shisui caught up, he would angrily ask why he wanted to attack Uchiha Clan.

"Thank you for showing mercy to them, and thank you for waking them up."

Feeling Yu's stunned gaze, Shisui said sincerely, with a somewhat complicated tone, but also a bit relieved, "After this time, I think Uchiha Clan will clearly realize his own strength and give up the idea of launching a coup."

"I hope so..."

Seeing Shisui's sincere eyes and grateful tone, Yu sighed, "But this time I'm not just doing it for you, I'm also doing it because of Teacher Sarutobi's wishes and orders."

"What does Lord Hokage mean..."

"It seems that if Uchiha Clan really launches a coup this time, it will inevitably end in a tragic end."

Hearing Yu's words, Shisui gave a helpless smile and turned his gaze to Konoha in the distance, his expression seemed a little sad, "You said... if it were you, and one day you had to choose between the village and your family, which one would you choose?"

Konoha and his family have to choose one?

Hearing Shisui's words, Yu's heart moved slightly. Just from the question and tone, he could clearly feel the powerlessness and helplessness Shisui felt at this moment.

"The village and the family?"

Withdrawing his gaze, Yu looked towards the more distant and vast sky, "It depends on your heart, which one is more important, your tribe or your companions..."

"Clans and partners..."

After listening to Yu's words, Shisui murmured softly, "My tribe and my friends are the most important things in my life. It's really hard to choose..."

"Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?"

Looking up to the sky and sighing, Shisui couldn't help but show helplessness on his face, and suddenly turned his head to Yu, "Yu, if it were you... what would you choose?"

"Me?"

Seeing Shisui staring at him, Yu smiled calmly, his eyes looking into the sky were slightly lost in thought, "I don't have to be as complicated as you, with so many ties. My principles in life are very simple. I will always remember whoever is good to me, and I will not forget easily whoever treats me badly."

"I only need to care about the people I care about. As for other people... they have nothing to do with me..."

Saying softly, Yu turned to look at Shisui, and saw the conflicting thoughts in his heart. He and Itachi were now caught between the village and the family, and of course they did not want to hurt either party. It is no wonder that in the anime, he would want to use Kotoamatsukami to resolve the conflict between the two parties.

It's a pity...

Later, it was destroyed by that unscrupulous old fox Danzo...

Thinking of this, Yu couldn't help but feel even more disgusted with Danzo, a sinister, ruthless and dark character.

"Do you only need to care about the people you care about? I really envy you..."

Looking at Yu's actions, Shisui sighed, "If I could choose, I would rather choose to be like you, not in the family, at least I don't have to be caught in the middle like now..."

Hearing this, Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect Uchiha Shisui to have such an idea.

Also, how can a fish know the joy of a fish without being a fish? People outside the besieged city want to come in, while people inside the besieged city want to go out. Maybe in Shisui's eyes, people like him at least don't have too many worries and fetters.

"It's getting late... I should go report the mission to Teacher Sarutobi."

After being lost in thought for a moment, Yu reached out and patted the dust on his body, and said to Shisui, "You seem to talk more than usual today..."

"Are you going back?"

Shisui also withdrew his thoughts, stood up and said to Yu with a smile, an inexplicable look flashed through the scarlet Sharingan, "See you next time, I'm really lucky to have you as my friend."

Friend... Looking at Shisui's frank eyes, Yu smiled, turned and left, waving his hand, "Goodbye then! Also, you have to be careful about Danzo..."

"Master Danzo?"

Hearing the name Yu suddenly mentioned, Shisui was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Yu suddenly said this. When he was about to ask something, he found that Yu's back had already gone away.

At least I messed up like this...

Shisui didn't have to commit suicide like in the plot to demoralize Uchiha Clan and delay his tribe's coup plan, right?

Along the way, Yu thought silently in his heart that the matter between Konoha and Uchiha Clan was over for now, then he should leave for Iwagakure to find Nonō and bring him back...

"Well done!"

"You did a great job on this mission Yu!"

In Hokage's office, Third Hokage was praising Yu in front of him without hesitation, "In this way, at least Uchiha Clan will no longer have the courage to launch a coup, and we don't need to take drastic measures."

It is possible to avoid using force to solve problems that can be solved without force. This is the consistent style and decision-making of Third Hokage since he took charge of Konoha.

"But the noise you made was a bit too big..."

But as he spoke, Third Hokage couldn't help showing a helpless expression on his face, "A man actually went to pick out their entire Uchiha Clan. Those arrogant guys probably won't even be able to sleep now."

"Then what else can we do?"

Hearing Third Hokage's words, Yu rolled his eyes angrily, "Uchiha It's not like you don't know the temperament and character of those guys. If necessary force is not used, do you think they will calm down and listen to what I have to say?"

It's not that Yu wants to complain, but many characters in anime are indeed set up like this. Only when your fist is bigger than theirs, they will calm down and listen to you carefully.

"No matter what..."

"Sarutobi, this time Uchiha Clan's matter has finally been resolved satisfactorily."

At this time, the two Konoha High Command Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu also spoke.

Although they now have irreconcilable conflicts and disputes with Yu, they cannot deny Yu's strong strength and excellent ability to perform tasks.

"Hmph... what a naive idea..."

A low cold snort came out somewhat inappropriately. At this time, only Danzo next to him still had a gloomy face, "Do you think that the hidden danger of the Uchiha Clan has been solved?"

"According to my opinion, the entire Uchiha Clan should be completely eradicated this time to avoid future troubles!"

In order to get more power about Sharingan, he originally planned to completely eradicate the entire Uchiha Clan this time, but he didn't expect that the plan would be destroyed again by Yu.
