The Unstoppable Coup, Shisui's Death!

Looking at the young man standing before him, Danzō felt that the darkness in his heart was insufficient.

The point of comparison was a ninja from his own clan... Itachi.

"Last night, the Uchiha held a heated discussion, didn't they? Uchiha Shimizu was particularly prominent."

Shimura Danzō said indifferently.

Shisui frowned slightly.

It was no surprise that Shimura Danzō knew of this; the leader of Root was also part of the Anbu.

But the meeting had only taken place last night, and there was already a reaction today.

It still left Shisui feeling somewhat surprised.

The village was truly... far too sensitive.

From the very beginning, the Uchiha never had any possibility of success.

Danzō looked at Uchiha Shisui standing before him.

The two were at the entrance of one of Root's bases.

Two statues stood on the left and right, and above the central doorway hung a horizontal plaque inscribed with a massive character: "Endure."

Shisui scanned the area; other than himself and Danzō, there was no sign of a third person at the entrance.

This situation allowed Shisui to relax slightly, as he had felt an inexplicable sense of unease from the very beginning.

"Lord Danzō, I came precisely to inform you of this matter, and furthermore..."

"And furthermore, it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to strike at Fugaku, wouldn't it?"

Danzō spoke, cutting off what Shisui intended to say next.

Shisui furrowed his brows.

"You even knew about this..."

"Do not misunderstand. I did not hear it from Hiruzen Sarutobi, nor did Itachi leak it to me. It is simply the result of my subordinates' investigation."

A bead of sweat trickled down Shisui's forehead.

He and Itachi had never truly integrated into the Anbu!

They had already avoided the Anbu eyes they were aware
