Hizashi stood to the side, dumbfounded. That actually worked? He really had said nothing, and Shisui had gone off to do it? Were all Uchiha clan members this gullible?
Watching Shisui leave, Hizashi could not help asking:
"Was Shisui always like this? How did he awaken his Sharingan?"
"Everyone has talent, just in different areas. You don't need to dwell on it.
With Shisui's two-tomoe strength, dealing with the Main Family shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Probably not. After all, they don't have much combat experience. Even a draw would be a considerable blow to the Main Family, considering Shisui is only nine."
"Good!"
Uchiha Yan nodded slightly. "Once you get back, have the Branch Family cooperate. After Shisui drives him to the breaking point, he'll ask to become part of the Branch Family himself.
He'll have lost all face by then, so pretending to be from the Branch Family won't be much more embarrassing. Tomorrow, we should head out to look for traces of the Three-Tails, too."
Hizashi's brow furrowed slightly. "I read the intelligence. It's only been two years since Rin Nohara died. It isn't time for the Three-Tails to revive yet. Can we find him now?"
"Tailed beasts are masses of chakra. During their revival, chakra slowly gathers in a particular area.
The Three-Tails is a mud turtle and likes places with water. We can search the major lakes. Besides, he was once sealed inside a Kirigakure ninja, so he won't have a favorable impression of a place like the Land of Water.
By my calculations, the Three-Tails will revive in one of the large lakes in the smaller countries. We'll search them one by one."
"That doesn't leave many. We don't need to search the small countries to the north; they don't have many large lakes.
