Shisui did not look away.
He stood on the balcony of Hokage Building, with the street of Konoha behind him and Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi in front of him.
The noise in the distance came, and the ordinary people in the village did not know that the Land of Lightning battlefield had reached the door of Kumogakure, nor did they know that the missing little girl in Uchiha District had pushed Konoha and Uchiha to the most dangerous edge.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was silent for a moment, and his voice slowed down.
"Shisui, you should understand that the village will not allow anyone to harm Konoha's children."
Shisui Hearing these words, his heart felt like something was pressing down on him.
He once believed this.
He even used this sentence as the reason for his allegiance to Konoha.
But now, Yaonai is missing.
The child who was protected by Ren personally in the clan was taken away in Konoha center under the eyes of Hokage and ANBU.
Shisui raised his head, his tone was not out of control, but it was more chilling than angry.
"Third generation sir, Ren Clan Leader asked me to bring you a word."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's fingers tightened slightly.
Several ANBU who were in charge of escorting in the dark also raised their heads at the same time, and their eyes behind the masks fell on Shisui.
Shisui ignored them, just looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said word by word:
"Ren Clan Leader made it clear that he has no intention of competing for Hokage Position."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's brows moved slightly.
Shisui continued:
"He will not support anyone from the Uchiha Clan competing for Hokage Position."
"Uchiha is sending troops to Kumogakure this time not to use military exploits to force Konoha to hand over power, nor to push Uchiha over Hokage Position."
"Please remember this clearly, Third Generation Sir."
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not answer the call immediately.
He originally thought that Shisui came to force Ren into the palace, and to use Kumogakure's victory on the battlefield to put pressure on Hokage Building.
But the first words Shisui said turned out to be Ren unintentionally Hokage Position.
This should have given him a sigh of relief.
But instead of feeling relaxed, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt even heavier.
Because if Ren had not come for power, then his subsequent anger would not have been suppressed by political exchange.
Shisui looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's reaction and his voice became even colder.
"But the kidnapping of Yaonai has completely touched the bottom line of Ren Clan Leader."
"This is not an ordinary clan member missing."
"Yaonai is his sister, the child he raised personally, and the default little princess of Uchiha Shrine."
"Those people in Temple, from being weak to their current fighting strength, were all cultivated by Ren Clan Leader."
"Nanami, Tekka, and every Temple disciple, all regard Yaonai as their biological sister."
"Yaonai calls them brother and sister on weekdays, and they are willing to risk their lives to protect her."
Shisui Having said this, the hands hanging in the sleeves were held tighter.
"Sandaime-sama, you may not realize the seriousness of this matter."
"On the Land of Lightning battlefield, Temple disciples have penetrated Kumogakure Pass. After experiencing continuous attacks, Tailed Beasts blockades and Cloud Ninja harassments, they are already extremely murderous."
"Now that they know that Yaonai is missing, everyone is extremely angry."
"As long as Ren Clan Leader gives the order, they will immediately change the direction of attack and fight back from Land of Lightning to Konoha."
A ANBU in the dark breathed erratically for a moment.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't look back, but the wrinkles on his face became deeper.
Shisui took a step forward.
"At that time, this war will not be about Uchiha seizing power."
"It won't be a Uchiha coup."
"It's not just to let anyone sit on Hokage Position."
"That would be revenge."
"Ren Clan Leader will take the entire Uchiha Shrine and aim the blade at Konoha."
"The purpose is not to force you to abdicate, not to negotiate, not to exchange benefits, but to completely destroy Konoha."
After saying these words, the sound of the wind on the balcony seemed to be muffled.
Hiruzen Sarutobi finally spoke, his voice hoarse.
"Shisui, do you know what you are talking about?"
Shisui did not give in.
"I know."
"Sir, Third Generation, I don't want Konoha and Uchiha to go to war more than anyone else."
"But this time, I can't stop Ren Clan Leader."
"I'm not qualified to stop him."
When he said this, there was heavy guilt in his eyes.
"Ren Clan Leader gave Yaonai to me for protection, but I failed to protect her."
"If Yaonai is hurt at all, I will stand beside Ren Clan Leader."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face finally changed.
Shisui is the most special Uchiha from Konoha.
He was once the person Hokage Building most hoped to win over, and the person most likely to maintain a balance between Uchiha and the village.
But now, even Shisui says this.
This means that Hokage Building has almost lost the last person who can persuade Uchiha.
Shisui continued:
"Ren Clan Leader believes that this matter must be related to Konoha Leadership."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes darkened.
Shisui did not avoid his gaze.
"Kumogakure Delegation can't do this alone."
"It is impossible for them to accurately grasp the rotation of the guards around Yaonai, it is impossible for them to avoid Military Police Force's inspections, and it is impossible for them to wipe out all traces after passing through the Konoha Barrier and ANBU routes."
"Unless someone inside Konoha helps them."
"Third Generation Lord, Ren Clan Leader asked me to tell you in person."
"Three days."
"Yaonai must be recovered intact within three days."
"She cannot be injured, tortured, sealed, or lose a hair."
"If Yaonai does not return to Uchiha District safely after three days, Uchiha Clan will stop attacking Kumogakure."
"Then, Uchiha Shrine will turn to Konoha."
Shisui's voice was extremely steady, but it was like a knife being placed directly on Hokage Building's neck.
"At that time, Uchiha and Konoha will fight to the death."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shisui and didn't speak for a long time.
He wanted to use the majesty of Hokage to suppress this young man.
But Shisui was standing there, polite and calm, but he had already delivered Uchiha's ultimatum to him.
After a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly:
"I will let ANBU search for Yaonai with all its strength."
Shisui lowered his head slightly.
"I hope that the third generation of adults will really go all out."
"Because this time, Konoha cannot bear the anger of Ren Clan Leader."
After saying that, Shisui turned and left.
ANBU wanted to stop him, but Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand to stop him.
The figure of Shisui jumped down from the edge of the balcony, and disappeared outside Hokage Building after a few ups and downs.
It wasn't until Shisui left for a long time that Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around and walked back to the office.
As soon as the door opened, Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura all looked over.
Utatane Koharu asked immediately:
"What did Hiruzen, Shisui say?"
Mitokado Homura also frowned and said, "Is he coming to force you to abdicate on behalf of Ren?"
Danzo said coldly:
"I have said before that Uchiha will not miss this opportunity."
However, as soon as the three of them finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face instantly darkened.
He did not answer Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, but looked sharply at Danzo.
"Danzo."
Danzo narrowed his one eye slightly.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi walked up to him in one step, his voice filled with anger.
"Where is Yaonai?"
The expressions of everyone in the office suddenly changed.
Utatane Koharu suddenly looked at Danzo, and Mitokado Homura also stood up.
Danzo's hand holding the crutches was slightly firm and he said coldly:
"Hiruzen, are you questioning me?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi slapped his palm on the table.
"Let me ask you, where is Yaonai!"
