As night fell, dark clouds obscured the last rays of the setting sun.
On the edge of the Naka Shrine, the Uchiha Clan is holding another clan meeting.
In the tranquil forest, Uchiha Shisui's eyes flickered as he watched Fugaku wife, who had seen off their clansmen, in the distance, pondering for a long time.
'Although Kotoamatsukami is the strongest Genjutsu I possess, even if it succeeds on the first try, I cannot go too far and change Fugaku's personality. But the longer it drags on, the greater the variables become...'
Having learned from his previous mistake, Shisui was determined never to repeat the same mistake as Uchiha Huayue. Fugaku, known as the "Evil Eye Fugaku," was considered one of the strongest beings among the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Thinking of this, he lightly brushed his fingertips across his right eye. Seven years had passed since he last used his right eye, and the Kotoamatsukami in his right eye still had not been restored to its working state.
'You only get one chance. If you fail, you'll be ostracized by the entire Uchiha Clan, and he won't forgive me, his best friend, for attacking my parents without my permission.'
With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Shisui subconsciously recalled his friend and younger brother, whom he had always regarded as brothers and cherished.
'I'm sorry, Itachi, for using Genjutsu on your parents without permission, but that way you won't have to become an outcast struggling between the village and your clan.'
The emotions in his heart gradually turned into determination: for the peace of Konoha, he would never regret sacrificing everything!
The Three Tomoe spun wildly, transforming into exquisite black and red Fuma Shuriken, each precise to the millimeter. The strongest eye Genjutsu the Uchiha bloomed in the darkness.
After waiting for a long time, until the last Uchiha clansman who participated in the conspiracy left, Fugaku and Mikoto finally headed home.
'Now!'
With one hand Hand Seals, the Body Flicker Technique is ready to be unleashed.
Just as Shisui was about to make a move, his direction suddenly changed, and he darted into the dense forest in the distance.
The next second, the weeds rustled, and dozens of Kunai disappeared into the tree trunk, followed closely by more than ten members of the Anbu.
Caw! Caw! Caw!
A flock of crows took flight, and Fugaku turned to look, a strange feeling rising in his heart.
"What's going on over there?"
Mikoto asked in a low voice, Fugaku closed his eyes to sense for a moment before shaking his head slightly.
"It's probably just a stray cat. Let's go home."
When Mikoto heard her husband say this, she didn't ask any further questions and simply stayed by Fugaku's side.
Beside the Naka River, in front of another Shikigami Shrine.
"You are Lord Danzo's subordinates?! I see. It's because you feared the Power of God. I never thought that I was ultimately not trusted by Konoha."
In front of the empty shrine, with the help of the dim moonlight, Shisui could clearly see the attacker's true face. His face turned ashen, and he seemed to recall someone's opinion of Konoha.
"The village has always suppressed the Uchiha openly and covertly. Whenever a talented individual emerges, they try to recruit them to counter it. I never expected it to be true."
Clap clap clap!
The crisp sound of clapping echoed inside the shrine. A figure emerged from the darkness, his head wrapped in bandages, his cunning old face full of admiration.
"As expected of Body Flicker Shisui, he ranks among the top three in Konoha in Body Flicker Technique, and is a genius in the Uchiha Clan second only to Body Flicker Gengetsu."
" Danzo! What exactly do you want to do?"
Faced with Shisui's bewildered, furious, and even somewhat disappointed Shisui, Danzo expressionless and cut straight to the point.
"Being able to control someone's will without them noticing, Power of God is immense, but how many times can you use your Genjutsu?"
As soon as he said it, Shisui froze on the spot, his face turning extremely ugly.
Admittedly, Kotoamatsukami is very powerful and has the potential to use eye techniques in secret, but Shisui knows best how effective it actually is.
This is his last chance. If he fails, he will inevitably face hostility from the entire Uchiha Clan.
What do you mean by that?
"You think that stopping Uchiha Fugaku will completely ruin this coup against Konoha? Fugaku is just a target pushed to the forefront by the entire Uchiha's militant faction."
"Once Fugaku announces that he is abandoning his coup attempt against Konoha, the next day the Uchiha Clan activists will choose to support Uchiha Huayue, and things will be even worse."
Danzo, he subtly approached Shisui, whose pupils trembled slightly, and Shisui lost his composure because of these words.
Indeed, the Uchiha Clan currently has two rulers: one is the all-powerful Fugaku with his Evil Eye, and the other is the secret pillar and the source of the Uchiha Clan's confidence.
"No, as long as we can buy some time, the Third Hokage will definitely be able to come up with a proper way to deal with the Uchiha!"
"Just a little longer, just a little longer! If there really were a proper solution, given the Third Hokage's personality, would he have dragged it out to this point?"
Danzo's question was like a sharp knife, piercing Shisui's heart, and even his face turned slightly pale.
"You have always known that the Third Hokage was simply incapable of stopping the Uchiha Clan's rebellion against Konoha, let alone escaping unscathed from it."
"Whether the coup with Chido succeeds or fails, Konoha that ultimately achieves its goals is nothing more than an empty shell."
As the figure stepped within a few steps, Danzo sneered inwardly, his right hand slightly hooking a finger, his eyes, though covered by bandages, filled with greed.
"Therefore, for the prosperity of Konoha, entrust your eyes to me, and let them be used for more useful purposes, Shisui!"
In an instant, Danzo's ambition was exposed to Shisui, who was wholeheartedly devoted to Konoha. Before his cane even hit the ground, he had already rushed in front of Shisui.
Sharingan!
Their eyes met, and in just one glance, Danzo completely lost consciousness and was taken hostage by Shisui.
In the distance, a large number of members of the Anbu were about to rush forward, but were instead driven back by Shisui.
"Stop! If you want your Lord Danzo dead, then come forward! I'm sorry, Lord Danzo, it seems I have no choice but to plead with Mr. Huayue to verify my identity."
"Your words just now will be used as evidence in court and handed over to the Third Hokage..."
Before the words were finished, the kidnapped figure turned into an illusion, and an old, withered hand pierced into the eye socket, holding a fresh eyeball in its hand.
"That will have to wait until you're alive enough to see Uchiha Huayue. Your eyes are quite good; you're qualified to be a substitute for this eye."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Mangekyō Sharingan, which had never been seen before, appeared before Shisui's eyes.
"Speaking of which, Danzo, who inherited the Second Hokage's ideology, is quite strange. For some reason, I could vaguely sense the Sharingan's power in his eye, which was covered by bandages."
The sound echoed, Shisui knelt on the ground, panting heavily.
"I can't believe his guess was right. Danzo, you bastard, what do you take the Uchiha for!"
