Long Ye's chest had been pierced by a black rod. Not only could he no longer use chakra, but he had also completely lost control of every movement of his body.
If Shisui wanted to kill him, it would be just as easy. He only needed to control Long Ye and make him commit suicide. After all, while under his control, Long Ye had no room to resist at all.
The situation before them was that either of them could kill the other with a single thought. The key was who would make the first move.
Long Ye had no killing intent at the moment. The person before him was Shisui Uchiha, after all, once his most important friend. Besides, the two of them had no grudge against each other.
Long Ye only wanted to stop him because he was worried that Uchiha would make use of him.
Shisui clearly had no intention of killing him either. If he had wanted to, he would not have waited until now.
"Madara Uchiha was the one who saved you!"
Long Ye asked with a solemn expression.
"Who saved me is no longer important. Since I've come this far, there's no turning back. Now that you know it's me, will you still stop me?"
Shisui's expression was probing, as if he really wanted to know the answer.
Long Ye was silent for a while before saying, "Unless you can prove that you have nothing to do with Madara Uchiha, I still can't let you obtain the Nine-Tails."
"Oh? So the reason you're stopping me from obtaining the Nine-Tails is because of Madara Uchiha?"
Realization dawned on Shisui's face.
"That's right! He's a schemer. If he was the one who saved you back then, he couldn't possibly have refrained from laying a hidden trap
