Chapter 3
"Huruzen, I think we should act sooner rather than later. Otherwise, by the time the Uchiha clan is well prepared, it will be too late for us to take action." If it were before, Danzo would still support Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan. After all, if he took action himself, he would be criticized to some extent. If he could let the Uchiha clan have internal strife, that would be the best.
But now, once the matter of Uchiha Shisui is reported back to the Uchiha clan, there will not be much time left for him and others to make arrangements. If it really comes to that, even if the Konoha high-level officials win in the end, it will be a miserable victory. You have to know that there is more than just Konoha in the ninja world. Once Konoha shows any signs of weakness, other ninja villages will surely rise up and attack it.
How long has it been since the Third World War ended? If the affairs of the Uchiha clan are not handled well, it will probably become the fuse of the Fourth World War.
This kind of consequence cannot be tolerated by Konoha.
"Okay, Danzo, I have to think about this matter again. Uchiha Shisui is missing now, and there is still hope for everything. Instead of thinking about it here, it is better to send more people to find Uchiha Shisui as soon as possible!"
After hearing Danzo's suggestion, Sarutobi Hiruzen also looked distressed. He was the incumbent Hokage. If he really wanted to attack the Uchiha clan directly, he would definitely be the one to take the blame in the end. Even Danzo couldn't bear such a pot.
I always let Danzo take the blame, but I didn't expect that this time it would be Danzo's turn to let me take the blame. Has my old friend become smart?
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who became Hokage again, felt the importance of power. Whether it was for himself or for Asuma or the Sarutobi clan, he could not abdicate at the moment, let alone be driven off the stage because of major mistakes.
"Humph! Hiruzen, you are too weak. Do we have to wait until the Uchiha clan is fully prepared before we can passively attack?"
Shimura Danzo, who was deeply influenced by the Second Hokage, had a deep prejudice against the Uchiha clan. Coupled with the temptation of the Sharingan, he really didn't want to gamble with the Uchiha clan's attitude with the current good situation.
"Danzo, I am the Hokage, this matter should be handled according to my words, and everything will be handled after Uchiha Shisui is dealt with." Ignoring Danzo's radicalism, Sarutobi Hiruzen insisted on his own ideas. Even if Uchiha Shisui was gone, he still had Uchiha Itachi who had been brainwashed successfully. Everything should be handled after Uchiha Itachi sent news.
"Humph! Hiruzen, you will regret this!"
Bang!!!
Ignoring Danzo who slammed the door and left, Sarutobi Hiruzen now had a headache about how to deal with the next incident.
He didn't know whether Shisui would come first or Uchiha Itachi.
Anyway, if something like this happened, these two would definitely ask him for an explanation.
They might even fight with him if they disagreed.
Now, he didn't have to worry about these two fighting.
Uchiha Shisui had been seriously injured by Danzo.
The only thing he had to guard against was his Mangekyō Sharingan.
He just had to avoid looking him in the eye.
There was even less to worry about Uchiha Itachi.
This kid was indeed extremely talented, even surpassing Uchiha Shisui, but after all, he was still young and not yet mature.
The only difficulty was how to continue to fool them into targeting the Uchiha clan. After all, the dirty work should be left to the Uchiha people themselves.
"Hokage, Uchiha Itachi wants to see you!" At this time, an Anbu suddenly came to deliver the message.
"Itachi? He came at this time? Is it because of Shisui?"Thinking of the bad things Danzo did, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know how to continue brainwashing Uchiha Itachi.
"Let him in first!" Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately adjusted his mood and restored his usual kind face.
""Sandaime-sama~" Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was handling the documents nonchalantly, Uchiha Itachi wondered for a moment whether he had received the news of Shisui's death.
"Is it Itachi? You came to see me so late, what's the matter? I have some documents here, I need to rest after finishing them, Itachi, if you come later, I might have already fallen asleep."Although Sarutobi Hiruzen guessed the purpose of Uchiha Itachi's visit, he pretended to be ignorant and said nothing.
"Sandaime-sama, Shisui... was killed!"Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen was still the same as usual, Uchiha Itachi was sure that the Third Hokage didn't know about Shisui's death.
"What? Itachi, you came here so late at night just to play this kind of joke on me? Shisui's strength is no less than that of a Hokage like me, who else in Konoha can hurt him?"Is
Shisui Uchiha dead? I don't know if Shisui revealed any information to the Uchiha clan before his death. But judging from Itachi Uchiha's attitude now, everything can still turn around.
Phew~ Fortunately, I didn't agree with Danzo's approach and acted in advance.
"It was Danzo, the elder Danzo of the Root, who attacked Brother Shisui."At this point, Uchiha Itachi was so excited that he even showed his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Hmm???
This pattern…………Mangekyō Sharingan!!!
Hiss~ He can open the Mangekyō at such a young age? It seems that the Uchiha clan can no longer be kept!
First it was Shisui, then Itachi. If we wait any longer, we don’t know how many Mangekyō Sharingans will appear in the Uchiha clan. At present, Konoha no longer has the Wood Release of the First Generation that can contain the Uchiha clan. It is better for such an unstable clan like the Uchiha clan to disappear.
"Danzo? Are you sure it's Danzo? He's an elder of Konoha, my brother, I've worked with him for decades, how could I not know him? Danzo's will of fire is definitely not inferior to yours and mine, there must be some misunderstanding here, is it possible that someone is pretending to be Danzo?"
It seems that Shisui has told Uchiha Itachi everything, this is not going to be easy, if Uchiha Itachi hasn't opened his Mangekyō Sharingan, he could be killed directly, but right now we don't know what Uchiha Itachi's eye technique is, so it's not advisable to act rashly.
"There is no mistake. Danzo led a group of Roots to hunt down Brother Shisui. Brother Shisui saw all this with his own eyes. No disguise can escape Brother Shisui's Mangekyō. Even if Danzo can disguise, are all those Roots' accomplishments disguised? In Konoha, besides the Roots, only the Hokage can mobilize so many ninjas."Even Uchiha Itachi, who was brainwashed by the Will of Fire since childhood, could hardly refute the Third Hokage when facing Shisui.
"So, the Root is indeed a big suspect. However, Itachi, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run. With Danzo's development of the Root over the years, I can only take it down now if I mobilize all the Anbu."
"Moreover, the Root is also a part of Konoha.
We cannot sacrifice Konoha's manpower because of someone like Danzo.
If both sides are defeated, it will give the enemy village an opportunity to take advantage.
I have to think of a perfect solution for this matter.
If someone does such a thing to Shisui, even if he is my teammate, I will never let him off easily!
" Seeing that he could not change Uchiha Itachi's attitude towards Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only find another way and use delay to increase Dayi's offensive.
"The Sandaime-sama has a good point, Itachi is short-sighted."Is this the Hokage-sama's magnanimity? The Sandaime-sama must feel bad to have teammates like this.
