By the time Genya returned to the Uchiha Clan Compound, the sun was already high in the sky.
He planned to settle the score with Shisui and Itachi.
He hadn't forgotten how those two had used genjutsu to make the villagers egg him on last night.
A thorough beating was inevitable. How thorough depended on his mood.
Shisui's house wasn't far from the entrance to the compound. Genya walked over and knocked.
No answer. He knocked a few more times, but still no one answered. He frowned. Just then, an Uchiha clan member passed by and hurriedly bowed upon seeing him.
"Lord Genya, are you looking for Shisui?"
Genya nodded.
"Yeah. Is he home?"
The clan member shook his head.
"Lord Shisui left the village on a mission with Lord Itachi early this morning."
Genya froze.
"Huh? A mission?"
He blinked, making sure he hadn't misheard.
The clan member blinked too, making sure he hadn't misspoken. The corner of Genya's mouth twitched.
They'd left the village on a mission.
First thing in the morning.
They'd used genjutsu to stir up the crowd last night, then left first thing this morning.
That was far too convenient.
"Do they really need to go this far to avoid me?"
Genya muttered, his voice full of disbelief.
"It's just a beating."
The clan member hadn't caught his words and asked cautiously.
"Lord Genya?"
Genya waved him off.
"Nothing. Go about your business."
The clan member bowed and hurried away.
Genya stood there with his hands in his pockets, staring at Shisui's closed door. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Those two sure ran fast. Fine. You can run, but you can't hide forever. Just wait until you get back.
He turned to go find Naruto. The kid had sung so
