"An unstable element within Konoha, a suitable replacement vessel, I am merely an obstacle to the future Hokage, nothing more."
His cold words, like gasoline poured into a raging fire, ignited Shisui's anger towards Danzo.
However, his physical condition and the presence of the Danzo Anbu Ninja protecting Danzo forced him to suppress his anger.
"You ambitious schemer, Konoha will never fall into your hands... Fire Release..."
"Water Release·Water Crush Wave!"
In an instant, the carefully selected Anbu members, who were tasked with targeting the Uchiha Clan's Fire Release Ninjutsu, formed hand Hand Seals, and curtains of water shot into the sky!
However, after the Water Release technique appeared, Uchiha Shisui smiled coldly, and the hand seals he had not yet completed suddenly changed.
The emerald green Kuma burned fiercely, soaring into the sky and separating the surging water curtain.
The next second, half of the skeletal giant's body became illusory, covered in armor and burning with green flames. The core on its chest, the Flame Tomoe, shone brightly!
" Susanoo ninety-nine."
The emerald green arrows resembled a rain of pear blossoms, splashing up countless dust and smoke, while the evaporated water vapor spread in all directions.
"Protect Lord Danzo!"
One after another, Kunai blocked the path of the light arrow. When the dust settled, Susanoo, who had stood between heaven and earth, had long since disappeared.
'Even though he lost one Mangekyō Sharingan, he can still use Susanoo. There's a secret within the Uchiha Clan Orochimaru n't yet discovered.'
After a moment's hesitation, Danzo his hand in acknowledgment.
"Chase!"
As the group of Anbu around him scattered to search, a rare hint of regret appeared in Danzo's eyes.
"It's a pity that we can't get our hands on the other Mangekyō Sharingan. Body Flicker Shisui Body Flicker Technique is amazing; even in this situation, he can still use it. There are just too many geniuses in the Uchiha Clan."
Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen shared the same view on this point, and Danzo considered the remaining Uchiha Clan to be the biggest source of unrest in Konoha.
"How well is the forgery of Uchiha Shisui's suicide note?"
"Everything is done."
With a slight nod, Danzo smiled broadly. His missing right eye had completely adapted to this Sharingan, which was full of youthful vitality and had once made Danzo 'love it'.
"I wonder how Uchiha Huayue's so-called Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan differs from Shisui's eyes? I'll just have to look forward to it."
Danzo and his entourage of Anbu turned and left. Long afterward, paper butterflies flew from the surrounding trees to a hidden corner unknown to anyone.
Konoha, near the Naka River, a secret corner unknown to most.
Shisui, panting heavily, still didn't forget to erase the smell of blood and traces of his presence. His once handsome face became unusually distorted.
"An unstable element in Konoha, a suitable replacement vessel, and an obstacle to the future Hokage. Danzo, your ambition has completely darkened Konoha."
With a fierce glint in its remaining eye, Shisui aimed at the remaining eye and dug it out forcefully!
laugh!
Blood splattered, Shisui formed a hand Hand Seals. A crow flew towards him and swallowed the blood-stained eye whole.
"Go, give it to Itachi. I will never allow my eyes to become accomplices in harming the Uchiha. Your judgment was correct, Uchiha Huayue. What a pity..."
His eyes were empty, and Shisui, waiting to die. Blood and viscous fluid were quietly filling his eye sockets.
"You must make it in time, Itachi. Let me help you one last time before I die..."
At this moment, not far outside Konoha, Uchiha Itachi, who had completed his Anbu mission and was heading back to Konoha with Kakashi, suddenly changed the look in his eyes behind his mask.
"Captain Kakashi, I'm sorry, I have some things to take care of and need to return to the village first. Please."
Kakashi, who led the way, was a little puzzled, but still nodded in agreement.
"Now that the mission is complete, you may leave first. If you encounter any problems that you cannot handle, you can report to the Third Hokage."
Itachi nodded slightly, quickened his pace and left the team, heading towards the Uchiha Clan without any attempt to conceal his intentions.
After Itachi walked away, the other team members went up and asked.
"Captain, are we just going to let Uchiha Itachi leave like this? Judging from his anxious look, it's very likely that Konoha and the Uchiha have gotten into a fight..."
"You mean to say that the Uchiha's offensive has been so strong that the village hasn't even had time to send out Ninja Hawk yet, and Konoha hasn't weakened to that extent."
"Besides, if things are really that bad, there's no point in us going back. At least I'm not confident I can stop Uchiha Huayue; I'm only prepared to die at his hands."
At this moment, the members of the Anbu squad remained silent, and the member who had first raised the question was even more embarrassed, bowing his head and saying nothing.
Indeed, with the Third Hokage present, one more of them wouldn't make a difference. If even the Third Hokage is powerless, then losing a few of them wouldn't make much difference either.
"However, I still hope things don't come to that point, Uchiha..."
Kakashi's gaze, obscured by his Forehead Protector, held a complex emotion. He truly did not want to kill his close friend's clansman, nor did he want to die at the hands of another friend of his close friend.
Time flies, and after a night, the sun is high in the sky.
As Uchiha Itachi stepped into the secret hideout he had arranged with his best friend, the overwhelming smell of blood stirred his brain.
"You've finally arrived, Itachi."
Before Itachi could speak, Shisui turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. His eyes, which were considered one of the best in the Uchiha, were now completely empty.
" Shisui! What on earth happened?"
"I'm sorry, Itachi, this is also a punishment for me, a punishment for trying to change your parents' minds through Genjutsu."
Itachi trembled all over, staring at Shisui in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly.
"Could it be... Father..."
"No, it was Danzo. When I tried to use Kotoamatsukami to change Fugaku's mind, he ordered the Anbu to attack me and take my eyes."
For a moment, Itachi remained silent, paused for a moment, and then sorted out the message he had just received.
" Danzo..."
"Itachi, promise me, no matter what, you must stop the conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha. Consider this my last request as the incompetent older brother."
"I can't hold on much longer, so let me use the last of my life to open up hope for change for you."
After saying this, before Itachi could stop him, Shisui, his face pale, walked step by step to the edge of the cliff.
"If you're my friend, don't stop me. You're a genius even better than me, Itachi. I'm counting on you."
As the figure vanished, memories flooded back. Itachi lunged toward the cliff, forced to watch helplessly as Shisui, whom he regarded as an older brother, disappeared from his sight.
" Shisui!"
Tears rolled down, and blood flowed along with the tear stains. The three jet-black Tomoe instantly transformed into a brand new Mangekyō.
"I promise you, Shisui, I will stop Konoha from harming the Uchiha and will never allow the Uchiha's honor to be dishonored!"
