Shisui's Mouth-Fu!

After staying on Mount Myoboku for over a day, Jiraiya brought Sasuke back to Konoha.

Inside the Uchiha Compound, Jiraiya said, "Sasuke, I will consider what you told me. However, you must be careful yourself; that guy Orochimaru is no simple ninja. I'm leaving now. Once I finish an incredibly important mission, I will come to find you again." With those words, Jiraiya vanished.

Sasuke naturally knew that the release date for Jiraiya's Icha Icha Paradise was drawing near. This guy's "incredibly important mission" was nothing more than going off to peep.

"Sasuke. You're back?" At that moment, a familiar voice rang out. It was none other than Uchiha Itachi.

"Brother, is your mission over? Do you have time to train with me today?" Sasuke took a deep breath and put on an enthusiastic smile. Although he didn't agree with some of Uchiha Itachi's values, he was still a very competent training partner.

"No training today. Come, I'm taking you somewhere." Itachi walked over to Sasuke, crouched down, and said with a smile.

"Uh... I'm not a child anymore, do I really need you to carry me? I... don't look at me like that, as if I've done something wrong. Fine, I'll get on, okay?"

Faced with Uchiha Itachi's aggrieved expression, Sasuke climbed onto his back. Immediately, Uchiha Itachi vanished from the spot with Sasuke in tow.

Deep in a dense forest, Sasuke saw a familiar figure from afar: Uchiha Shisui. It seemed that Itachi's faith and psychological defenses had been breached by Sasuke. Was he planning to team up with Uchiha Shisui to brainwash him?

After landing, Uchiha Itachi set Sasuke down. "Brother, you brought me to see Big Brother Shisui—is there some special training method you want to teach me?" Sasuke asked tentatively.

"Sasuke, Itachi didn't bring you to see me for training. You wrote this, right?" Uchiha Shisui said, holding up a few sheets of paper.

They contained remarks praising the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the understanding of the Will of Fire written within them even surpassed that of Hiruzen Sarutobi himself. Some staunch executors of the Will of Fire had even hailed these words as truth after reading them. What they didn't know was that Sasuke had written them for Naruto to memorize, with the sole purpose of blinding Hiruzen Sarutobi. He hadn't expected it to blind Shisui as well.

"Yes." Thinking of this, Sasuke nodded.

"Since you have such a profound understanding of the Will of Fire, why would you say those things to Itachi?" Shisui asked, looking puzzled. In his eyes, someone with such realization...

By all accounts, he should have been an executor.

But... the reality was quite the opposite!

As for Sasuke, he couldn't help but grumble inwardly: My big brother is truly a simpleton; why does he go around saying everything to everyone?!

"An understanding of the Will of Fire, including some praise for the Third Hokage."

"Brother Shisui, do you still not understand?"

"What the Uchiha needs right now is not some great power, nor is it a strong ally."

"It is, rather, a stable environment."

"The reason I act this way is simply because I do not wish for my training to be disturbed."

After taking a deep breath, Sasuke spoke the words he had originally intended to tell Uchiha Itachi and Fugaku Uchiha directly.

If he hadn't run into Shisui this time, Sasuke would have almost forgotten.

The guy in front of him was about to die!

It was precisely this guy's death that made Uchiha Itachi completely firm in his belief that executing the Will of Fire was necessary.

In the end, he became the executioner who slaughtered his entire clan.

"A stable environment."

"Are you saying that you intend to strike at the village once you have grown to possess sufficient strength?"

A flash of sharpness crossed Shisui's eyes.

Coupled with the battle intent and killing aura accumulated from long-term combat missions, he released it all at once.

"Why would I strike at the village?"

"Once I have sufficient strength..."

"In the face of overwhelming power, the village... will only seek the protection of us Uchiha."

"As for the current conflicts, at their core, it is simply that we are not strong enough."

Sasuke spread his small hands, looking indifferent to everyone.

The two people before him.

Uchiha Shisui!

Uchiha Itachi!

These two might have surpassed their peers in terms of talent.

But their brains were truly not working well.

Uchiha Shisui.

After awakening his Mangekyo Sharingan, his first thought wasn't to change the village's perception of the Uchiha.

Instead, he told Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo this vital intelligence.

This guy was completely responsible for his own foolish death!

As for Uchiha Itachi... the events of the night of the clan's annihilation could never be washed clean.

Even if Kishimoto tried to force a redemption, black would always remain black!

"Strength!?"

"If recognition is obtained solely through power, then it will not last."

"Back then, we Uchiha..."

"But back then, were we ever pushed to this extent?"

"The Uchiha, forced to relocate!"

"The Police Force, treated as if it were non-existent within the village!"

"What is the village's attitude toward the Uchiha?!"

Before Uchiha Shisui could finish, Sasuke fired off three questions in a row, leaving him speechless.

"Sasuke, listen to what Brother Shisui has to say first."

"There are some things you haven't experienced..."

Uchiha Itachi did not continue.

Because what Sasuke had just said was exactly what he had experienced.

Moreover, this was the result obtained after the tireless efforts of both Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.

"Brother Shisui."

Sasuke called out.

Immediately, he activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

The moment his ocular power emerged, it directly triggered Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan.

"You've already awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan?"

"Itachi..."

Shisui spoke with some difficulty.

The process of awakening the Sharingan was never a peaceful one.

Shisui, who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, knew this all too well.

"Brother Shisui, wanting to save the current Uchiha Clan isn't something that can be achieved through constant fawning over the higher-ups."

"Right now, the only ones who can accomplish this are the three of us."

"Brother Shisui, the Third Hokage trusts you."

"As for me, there's no need to mention it. My performance has likely made Brother even more valued in the Third Hokage's eyes."

"So, from here on, we need to make good use of these identities to create a new enemy..."

"Or rather, to draw out a new enemy!"

"The Root organization!"

While Uchiha Shisui was lost in thought, Sasuke decided to strike while the iron was hot.

He immediately activated his "talk no jutsu" mode.

When facing someone with such a strong obsession, the effect of "talk no jutsu" was undoubtedly outstanding!

Finding the right direction was far more effective than an S-rank ninjutsu!
