Snatching Shisui First: A Fifty-Fifty Match Is Only Fair

"Not at all, I'm used to this stuff." Gojo Satoru's lips curled up slightly.

"Heh, you little brat."

"If you end up with a face full of pimples, no girl will even give you a second glance," Shisui said casually with a smile.

Gojo Satoru twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile so bright it could blind someone.

"I make a living by cultivating a persona, not by relying on my looks."

"If a woman doesn't love you anymore, no matter how incredibly handsome you are, it's useless."

He deliberately put on a serious expression.

"Someone will fall in love with my unique soul, not just my stunningly handsome appearance."

"Hehe."

"What kind of nonsense are you watching all day?" Shisui Uchiha couldn't help but laugh.

Does this count as a generation gap?

I really don't understand what these young people are thinking these days.

He put away the scroll and picked up the topic again.

"However, there's some truth to what you said."

"So now I have to go and kill that woman who even despises my handsome face." Shisui's expression changed very quickly; one second he was all sunshine and light, the next he was filled with murderous intent.

Is this considered a "darkening"?

Gojo Satoru's lips twitched twice as he looked at Shisui Uchiha, whose demeanor had undergone a complete 180-degree turn.

"Hey, your public image has been shattered, don't you know that?"

This art style is so different from before.

After the two of them finished their commotion, Kakashi began to explain the mission.

"According to intelligence analysis, after the missing-nin Uchiha Tsuki set out to attack Konoha, he headed straight for the Land of Water."

"Judging by her pace, she should still be on the territory of the Land of Fire."

"We need to catch her before she completely leaves the Land of Fire."

"Once she slips into another country's territory, it will be difficult for us to search for her freely."

"The Sharingan is so coveted, so we have to be careful when we move around and not let anyone notice us."

"At that critical juncture..."

"Wait a moment."

"I remember the mission said to kill missing-nin, not capture them alive," Shisui Uchiha suddenly asked.

His facial expression was the same as usual, with no noticeable change.

Gojo Satoru rested his chin on his hand and gave Shisui a strange look.

Heartbroken guys are scary!

Is this the power of a deadly bond?

"Even if she's missing-nin, we need to investigate the situation thoroughly before making a decision. Besides, we don't even know if she's carrying any important intelligence." Kakashi didn't back down.

After saying that, he turned to look at Uchiha Itachi beside him and gave him a wink, wanting to hear what Itachi thought.

"If there is resistance during the arrest, kill them on the spot." Uchiha Itachi's voice was flat and cold.

Gojo Satoru couldn't help but complain as he watched these two people change their attitudes as soon as a mission started.

"Do you guys all have split personalities? Does that weird switch go off whenever there's a mission?"

"And then there's Shisui. Isn't she your old flame? If you're too arrogant, no girl will like you. Be careful, you'll end up in a nightmare chasing after her."

Shisui Uchiha feigned nonchalance. "A dead lover is a good lover."

"Besides, this is a mission; ninjas on missions are not allowed to bring personal feelings into it."

No wonder!

Gojo Satoru looked at the two people in front of him and muttered to himself.

No wonder they became such good friends; later, Itachi even carried on Shisui's legacy and stayed to protect Konoha.

These two are so alike, it's like they're made in the bone!

Regardless of the perspective on things or the approach to making decisions, we inexplicably ended up on the same path.

That would be terrible. If everything unfolds exactly as it did in the original story, on the night of the massacre, Itachi would have to personally kill his own brother and take care of him too.

He hasn't built up enough experience yet, so he can't unleash many of his skills. When Itachi awakens his Mangekyo and teams up with Obito, along with Danzo and the people from Konoha, he might actually suffer a major setback.

Although it's exciting to constantly teeter on the edge of morality, he's not willing to risk his head by banging it against a tree.

Thinking of the hellish lineup and god-like melee on the night of the genocide, Gojo Satoru secretly made up his mind.

Since his older brother insisted on teaming up with Obito, he decided to undermine him beforehand and snatch Shisui, this super gift package, away.

In a duel, a 50/50 chance is the only fair match.
