Clutching his limp, drooping shoulder, he stared at C.C with shocked eyes.
"I suppose I'm a friend of Shisui Uchiha..." C.C returned to her seat and, seeing the takoyaki knocked over by the shuriken, glared at him.
"Go buy me another order
and bring it back!"
"Yes!"
Terrified by C.C's gaze, the Konoha Military Police Force member, dragging his immobile shoulder, fled in a sorry state.
"A green-haired woman is looking for me?" Shisui Uchiha looked at the person before him in surprise. "Did she say what she wanted?"
"No, she just said she has something important to tell you."
"Alright, I understand."
On his way to the Konoha Military Police Force, Shisui Uchiha couldn't stop thinking. He had never met a woman with green hair. Regardless, he'd find out who she was and her purpose for seeking him out once they met.
Shisui Uchiha pushed open the door to the Konoha Military Police Force office and saw a woman with long green hair and strange clothing sitting inside.
"Yo~! You're finally here, I've been waiting impatiently." C.C saw Shisui Uchiha enter and put down her toothpick, elegantly wiping the sauce from the corner of her mouth with a smile as she looked at him.
"Who are you?" Shisui Uchiha asked, his gaze cold.
"Are you sure this place is safe? Won't it expose our conversation?" C.C smiled mysteriously, her golden eyes narrowed.
Suddenly, the surrounding scenery turned black and white. C.C was brought into the world of genjutsu by Shisui Uchiha.
"What do you think of this place?"
"It's very good." C.C nodded, then warned Shisui Uchiha, "However, I advise you not to attack me. I'm just a clone right now, and using Kotoamatsukami on me would just be a waste of your ocular power~!"
"So, what's your purpose in finding me, strange woman? I don't think we've met." Shisui Uchiha's cold voice carried a hint of impatience.
"Oh? What's wrong? Did something happen?" C.C sensed a hint of anger in his words. Uchiha Clan members really aren't good at hiding their emotions. If I were like them, I probably would have been captured and brainwashed by Danzō long ago.
"Uchiha... Itachi?"
C.C guessed, uttering Itachi Uchiha's name while observing the expression on Shisui Uchiha's face. Seeing the obvious distortion on his face, C.C revealed a knowing smile.
As expected, a traitor is always a traitor. Even after the coup d'état and leaving Konoha, Itachi Uchiha still became a traitor and told the Third Hokage about the Uchiha Clan's plan.
Then, if Danzō knew about this for the sake of the Uchiha's Sharingan, given his personality, he would undoubtedly spare no effort in instigating the Konoha higher-ups to pressure the Third Hokage. Even the Hokage couldn't make all the decisions in Konoha.
"It seems the destruction of the Uchiha Clan is only a matter of time."

"Shut up!!!"
Shisui Uchiha instantly appeared before C.C, the blade of his short sword pressed against her fragile neck. A slight downward press would sever her head.
"The Uchiha Clan is facing internal and external troubles. How far do you think extinction is?" C.C didn't even glance at the short sword at her neck. If Shisui Uchiha dared to kill this clone, then the Uchiha Clan might as well be wiped out.
"There's a traitor within, and the Konoha higher-ups are coveting you from the outside. Your eyes are truly valuable, especially with Kakashi as a well-known example."
"You are..." Shisui Uchiha looked at this woman who gave him a sense of familiarity and retracted his short sword.
"You still don't recognize me? I'm Naruto Uzumaki." C.C spread her hands speechlessly and mocked, "And you call yourself Uchiha? You can't even see through my Transformation Jutsu. Give those eyes to someone who needs them. By the way, you can just call me C.C in this form."
"How did you end up like this at the Konoha Military Police Force?" Shisui Uchiha looked at C.C in surprise, ignoring her taunting words.
"I had to do this to get away from the Anbu! I'm so sick of being followed by the Anbu!" Thinking of those Anbu members, C.C gritted her teeth in anger. They even sent female Anbu ninjas to follow her to the restroom! It felt like she was under "protection" – or rather, surveillance – from the Anbu twenty-four hours a day.
If the Nine-Tails hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known. How could there be so many coincidental encounters in the restroom?
"If I'm not mistaken, the traitor among the Uchiha is Itachi Uchiha, right?"
"How did you know?!"
Shisui Uchiha's face turned extremely grim.
"It was just a guess at first, but through your reaction, I can confirm I was right. Itachi Uchiha betrayed the Uchiha Clan, and he even let you know about it."
"He told the Third Hokage about the Uchiha Clan's desire to leave Konoha, and the Third Hokage hopes to resolve it through negotiation."
"Do you think the Uchiha Clan and the Konoha higher-ups can resolve this through negotiation?" C.C looked at Shisui Uchiha with a half-smile.
"No."
Shisui Uchiha shook his head. At this point, even if the Third Hokage wanted to resolve it through negotiation, the Konoha higher-ups who were coveting the Uchiha Clan wouldn't agree.
"Exiling the Uchiha Clan to a corner of Konoha, to put it nicely, is to maintain Konoha's security and stability. To put it bluntly, it's to kick the Uchiha Clan out of Konoha's power circle, making you Uchiha obediently guard the house for Konoha, and forcing you Uchiha to fight on the battlefield when needed. The corpses of Uchiha clan members who die might even have their eyes dug out."
"Stop talking..."
The genjutsu world fluctuated violently. Shisui Uchiha remembered the bodies of Uchiha clan members who died on the battlefield. None of them returned to the Uchiha; they were taken by Konoha. Even if he didn't want to think about it, he understood that those clan members' eyes must have fallen into the hands of the Konoha higher-ups.
Thinking of clan members who fought and died for Konoha, only to have their eyes gouged out by the very Konoha they were loyal to after their deaths.
Shisui Uchiha's feelings could only be imagined.
Even so, C.C wasn't done tormenting Shisui Uchiha. Covering her face, she laughed heartily and revealed an even more cruel reality that Shisui Uchiha found difficult to accept.
"What obedient dogs! Unfortunately, this dog is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with its master and wants to bite back. Do you think Konoha will keep a disobedient dog?"
"Look at me! Shisui Uchiha!"
C.C lifted Shisui Uchiha's head, forcing him to look at her. Her golden eyes instantly turned blood-red, pupils slitted, filled with madness and hatred.
Upon seeing such eyes, Shisui Uchiha instinctively activated his Mangekyo Sharingan to meet her gaze.
"I'll answer for you! Konoha won't let disobedient dogs go. Not only will they not let them go, they'll kill them! Skin them! Eat their flesh! Drain their marrow! Squeeze every last bit of their worth dry!"
"And then they'll pretend. To be uninvolved, conceal the truth, and act. Like benevolent saviors, adopting any orphans the Uchiha Clan might leave behind!"
"Stop talking!!!"
Shisui Uchiha shouted, and the genjutsu world shattered instantly.
C.C looked at Shisui Uchiha, who was covered in sweat and gasping for breath, with a blackened smile on her face, malice radiating from her.
