"I'm not saving him!"
Uchiha Yan gave a self-mocking smile. "Maybe I'm just a fool! I'm doing this for the Konoha ninja who died because of the plan. They can't have sacrificed themselves for nothing.
"They died nameless in the darkness. No one knew how they died, and no one knew what they accomplished, yet they were still willing to die. I admire people like that.
"If not for them, why would I need to arrange all this, have Jinyan secretly set an ambush along the way, and then ask you and the others to help, Konan? Danzo would have died long ago."
"I see! Understood. Leave this to me, but I can't guarantee I'll be able to save the Konoha ninja."
"That's enough! Thank you."
Uchiha Yan no longer hoped to kill Danzo. He only hoped Shisui wouldn't die. Otherwise, who knew how long he would have to wait to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Uchiha Yan hadn't lied to Black Zetsu in those last words. Some people couldn't be allowed to die for nothing. That will to protect their home at the cost of their lives couldn't be extinguished.
He had already done everything he should. Now he could only hope Genji hadn't discovered the plan and merely wanted to share the Byakugan with Kumogakure to ensure he could keep it.
After all, if the Land of Water stood alone and Konoha attacked Kirigakure with everything it had, he wouldn't be able to withstand it either.
With each country holding one Byakugan, Konoha would have to exercise restraint and wouldn't dare attack both countries at all costs. At most, it would send a few people to harass them to appease the Hyuga Clan.
As long as Genji hadn't seen through the plan, the two sides would surely become locked
