Who Can't Escape Reality?

Yun Yan was speechless for the umpteenth time. He looked helplessly at Uchiha Shisui, and couldn't help but confirm his thoughts once again:

"Uchiha Shisui, are you sure? It's the entire Konoha that has wronged your Lord Hokage, not the other Lord Hokage Konoha?"

Uchiha Shisui seemed to have lost all sense of reason at this point, as obsessive as a madman. He nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with absolute certainty:

"That's right! The entire Konoha Lord Hokage down. The Lord Hokage has worked diligently for Konoha for decades, sacrificing everything, and this is how the people of Konoha treat Lord Hokage! They're even forcing Lord Hokage to step down! It's absolutely outrageous!"

Yun Yan couldn't help but scratch his head. Hearing Uchiha Shisui's words, his mind automatically reversed them:

That's right! It was the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, who wronged the entire Konoha. Hiruzen Sarutobi has plagued Konoha for decades, bringing it to this state. Now, the people of Konoha are demanding that Hiruzen Sarutobi pay the price and step down. This is absolutely reasonable!

Yes, as expected, translating Uchiha Shisui's words completely in reverse makes much more sense.

Similarly, this also shows that Uchiha Shisui's brain is completely broken. Yun Yan suddenly felt that talking to someone like him was a complete waste of time; it was beyond a matter of talking past each other.

Shaking his head, Yun Yan stopped arguing with Uchiha Shisui about these meaningless things and went straight to asking about his original purpose:

"Alright, no matter how unwilling you are, the outcome is already decided. Hiruzen Sarutobi is about to be completely finished this time. This is an unchangeable fact, and it is what all the people of Konoha have been hoping for."

Unless, Uchiha Shisui, you can slaughter every last person Konoha, leaving no one alive and no one left to oppose Konoha Hiruzen Sarutobi."

At this point, Yun Yan calmly looked at Uchiha Shisui and directly asked him:

"Can you do that?"

Uchiha Shisui's face immediately turned pale. He stammered for a long time, his face turning extremely ugly, and finally shook his head in dejection.

Sure enough, he couldn't do that. He wouldn't kill everyone in Konoha for his so-called ideals and beliefs. He didn't have the guts or the determination.

Seeing Uchiha Shisui's reaction, Yun Yan unsurprisingly sneered twice and continued his sarcastic remarks:

"Alright, I knew you'd be like this. Strictly speaking, you're the same kind of person as Itachi Uchiha."

"Perhaps you can slaughter your entire clan for some so-called bullshit faith or ideology, but you still can't bring yourself to do it to the entire Konoha Village."

At this point in Yun Yan's speech, a question mark appeared Jonin Uchiha Shisui's head. He really didn't understand what Yun Yan had just said.

What do you mean we could slaughter our entire family for some so-called bullshit faith or ideology? How could we possibly do such a thing?

Well, he admitted that when the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the Konoha High Command was irreconcilable, and when the atmosphere between the two sides was quite tense, Uchiha Shisui did have similar thoughts.

He had indeed considered that if things really came to that, he would have no choice but to sacrifice his family for Konoha, prioritizing the greater good over his own.

That was just a thought that Uchiha Shisui had once had deep in his heart, but Itachi Uchiha didn't have it. Uchiha Shisui didn't know what Itachi Uchiha was thinking.

Hehe, it's just that Yun Yan doesn't know what Uchiha Shisui is thinking right now.

If he knew, he would definitely continue to mock and ridicule, saying things like, "You two are exactly the same, your brains are practically both full of holes, I have no hope for either of you."

Getting back to the point, after deciding not to discuss these trivial matters with Uchiha Shisui, Yun Yan went straight to asking the question he had been trying to figure out:

"By the way, Uchiha Shisui, I haven't asked you yet, why did you attack Izumi? Why did you attack the people around me? Where did you get the guts?"

When Yun Yan asked him this, Uchiha Shisui suddenly became righteous and indignant. He seemed to have transformed into a righteous person facing a heinous villain, condescendingly accusing Yun Yan:

"Of course, it's to set things right!"

Yun Yan could hardly believe his ears. After picking at his ear with his little finger, he asked again incredulously:

"Wait a minute, could you please repeat that? What did you say you wanted to do this for?"

Uchiha Shisui, once again with righteous indignation and a haughty, condescending expression, repeated himself to Yun Yan:

"To set things right!"

Yun Yan's expression was quite subtle. He had already gleaned a lot from the phrase "correcting the wrongs," and asked Uchiha Shisui with a half-smile:

"This idea of 'setting things right' sounds really interesting."

If I'm not mistaken, the "chaos" in "rectifying chaos" you're referring to isn't me, is it?

Could the "correction" in this "rectification" refer to Sarutobi?

Uchiha Shisui nodded with a smug look on his face, even agreeing wholeheartedly.

"That's right, you guessed it, that's exactly it. I didn't expect you, the culprit, to be so self-aware."

Yun Yan sighed, feeling somewhat tired and weary, and then continued to question Uchiha Shisui:

"Your method of 'setting things right' isn't exactly a plan to get rid of me!"

"After you kill me, you can put your Lord Hokage back in the highest position of power in Konoha, let Hiruzen Sarutobi continue to rule Konoha, and let him continue to hold power, right?"

Uchiha Shisui nodded again:

"You guessed right, that's exactly it. I discovered long ago that you were the mastermind behind this whole thing. It was all your doing that the Lord Hokage ended up in this state."

"Once we eliminate you, the culprit, everything will fall into place, the Lord Hokage will be able to clear his name and regain control of Konoha, restoring Konoha to its former peaceful and tranquil state."

Because there were so many things to criticize in those words, Yun Yan rubbed his hair, unable to hide his disgusted expression.

He had been brewing this in his mind for a very long time, but finally couldn't suppress the urge to complain. His expression was somewhat broken as he glared at Uchiha Shisui and bluntly questioned him:

"First, am I the mastermind behind this?"

At first glance, that seems to be the case. After all, I have indeed forced Hiruzen Sarutobi into this situation, and I strongly requested that this public trial be initiated. Hiruzen Sarutobi is no match for me.

Second, when did I ever plot against your Lord Hokage?

As the saying goes, a clear conscience fears no accusation. If your so-called Lord Hokage hadn't done those despicable things, how could he have fallen to this state? How could people be demanding his resignation? How could he be being called upon and killed by the entire Konoha Village?

Third, you're planning to kill me?

Where do you get the confidence, the audacity, and the guts to try and deal with me?

You think you can beat me? You think you can take me down? You overestimate yourself.

Fourth, do you still intend to exonerate your Lord Hokage?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputation in Konoha is now completely ruined; he's practically a rat in the street.

His deeds have already made him infamous. Even if you kill me, without anyone else stopping you, will the people of Konoha allow Hiruzen Sarutobi to power again?

Fifth, what does it mean to return Konoha to its previous peaceful and tranquil state?

Forgive my bluntness, but Konoha's previous state could not be considered peaceful and tranquil; it was more like a place of weakness, corruption, and vulnerability, which gave people a false impression of peace and tranquility.

Go ask anyone on the street if they'd be willing to let Konoha return to its previous state.

"Uchiha Shisui, could you please answer these five questions I asked in turn, and clearly?"

Uchiha Shisui was stunned, somewhat dizzy from the five questions Yun Yan had thrown at him in succession.

However, Uchiha Shisui has a very good habit: if he can't face the bloody and painful facts, he will directly deny the facts, avoid the facts, and refuse to acknowledge them.

Therefore, Yun Yan saw that after a moment of confusion, Uchiha Shisui's eyes suddenly hardened again. He stood before Yun Yan, his aura high and his voice booming as he answered:

"It's okay! None of that matters!"

Yun Yan almost fell over.
