Chapter 42: Itachi Awakens the Mangekyo Sharingan



A few days later, news of Shisui's disappearance spread throughout the Uchiha clan.

After losing Shisui, the most powerful Uchiha, the coup plan of the garrison force suffered a major setback.

Even the strongest of the clan has disappeared inexplicably, even if a coup is launched, the chances of success are miniscule.

It is not so difficult to accept the status quo of being treated differently than to die.

But the Uchiha Ninjas were more concerned about another thing, where did Shisui go?

Did he defect and leave the village, or was he assassinated, why can't they even find his body?

After searching in vain for several days, the Uchiha Jonin turned his attention to Itachi.

When the coup clan meeting was convened that day, only Itachi and Shisui did not attend.

Itachi must know the inside story, or he himself was the murderer who killed Shisui.

Under such circumstances, several Uchiha Ninjas stood in front of Fugaku's house, waiting for Itachi to show up.

Surrounded by his subordinates, Fugaku pushed open the door with an ugly face, looked at the menacing Uchiha Jonin, and scolded, "Yatsushiro, what do you guys want to do?"

Uchiha Yatsushiro said bluntly, "Captain, we suspect that Itachi killed Shisui!"

Fugaku said with an uncertain expression, "Shisui and Itachi are close friends, how could Itachi kill Shisui?!"

"Shisui is indeed Itachi's best friend, but what if Itachi covets Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan? It is the legendary eye. In order to take away the Mangekyo Sharingan, Itachi may kill Shisui!"

Hearing this, Fugaku fell into deep thought, Itachi might have really killed Shisui.

Itachi in the study listened to the conversation outside the yard without saying a word.

His face was covered with a lingering haze. He had found a suicide note left behind in Shishui's room.

Shisui committed suicide, hoping to prevent the Uchiha Clan's coup by committing suicide, and left him the ideal of the Mangekyo Sharingan, the clan and the village to live in peace.

The suicide note and ideals are still there, but brother Shisui's body has disappeared.

If he hadn't been familiar with Shisui's handwriting, he would have begun to wonder if it was a forged suicide note.

But the status quo of the clan made Itachi feel irritated.

Shishui used his life to prevent the coup from happening, but this group of people didn't know what was going on, and even suspected that he killed Shisui and sabotaged the coup.

Is such a tribe really worth saving? Sooner or later they will be killed by their arrogance!

Emotions stimulated the brain, and a large amount of yin attribute chakra gathered in his eyes.

Unknowingly, Itachi had a ferocious face, and his three tomoe Sharingan also became the shape of a shuriken.

At the same time, the information of Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu also appeared in Itachi's mind.

"Mangekyo Sharingan!"

Itachi was a little surprised, but soon his eyes regained firmness, and he was no longer confused about the future.

Sharingan is the eye of inner reflection, and the Mangekyo Sharingan has already told him the direction in which the future is headed.

After disappearing from the study, leaving behind a few crow feathers, Itachi appeared on the street outside the yard.

Using both fists and kicks, he beat back a few jounin easily.

Itachi grabbed Yatsushiro's neck and hit him against the wall, and then gave out a strange look,

"People like you are not worthy of Shisui's companionship. If you want to tell me what to do, first get the same eyes as mine."

After speaking, Itachi threw Yatsushiro to the ground and left without looking back.

Half a minute later, Yatsushiro got up from the ground, looked at Itachi's back, and said with lingering fear, "Itachi has also awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and it is completely different from Shisui's eyes."

The rest of the jonin were also shocked when they heard this, it was a Mangekyo sharingan after all.

Fugaku on the side fell into contemplation.

If Shisui is not dead, it is not impossible for the Uchiha to sit on the throne of Hokage.

More than ten minutes later, Itachi appeared in the Hokage Building, and saw a group of Konoha executives.

Faced with the doubts of Konoha's senior management, Itachi said that Shisui chose to commit suicide for the sake of peace between the Uchiha and the village, in order to prevent the coup from happening.

After hearing this, the third Hokage and the elder advisors all sighed, and felt sorry for Shisui.

The Third Hokage looked at Itachi in front of him, with a complicated expression.

"It's a pity about Shisui, and the bridge of communication between Uchiha and the village has lost again, Itachi, are you willing to act as a new bridge?"

Itachi nodded, "This subordinate is willing to act as a new bridge, but the whereabouts of Shisui's body is temporarily unknown, and I hope the village can help."

"I'll send someone to look for it. After all, Shisui is the hero of the village, and his corpse must not be exposed to the wilderness."

Third Hokage sighed, losing Shisui as his subordinate, it would be a lie to say that he is not sad, but Shisui's Kotoamatsukami can indeed pose a great threat to him.

At this time, Danzo on the side said abruptly, "It is best to find Shisui's body. Kotoamatsukami must not fall into the hands of the other ninja villages. They are treasures belonging to the village."

Itachi glanced at Danzo, and then said, "Masters, I will take my leave first. The people of the clan are not emotionally stable, and we need to prevent them from thinking about a coup d'etat again."

After Itachi left, the Third Hokage looked at Danzo and blamed him, "Danzo, are you trying to destroy the only bridge between us and Uchiha? Shisui just died!"

Danzo said disapprovingly, "Hiruzen, don't forget Shisui's eyes, Kotoamatsukami is likely to be in Itachi's hands, which is a very big threat to us."

"We haven't found the real reason for Shisui's suicide yet? You may have intervened in it. Isn't the recent staff transfer a bit strange?"

The Third Hokage's eyes were cold, and he responded unceremoniously, but because the elder advisor was still there, he did not expose Danzo.

At this time, the advisory duo came to smooth things over, "Okay, stop arguing, let's think about how to deal with the guards. Shisui's death can only delay the time of the coup, and the Uchiha will launch another coup sooner or later."

As soon as this remark came out, the Third Hokage and Danzo immediately quieted down since the elder advisor was right.

After pondering for a while, the Third Hokage said, "I believe that with Itachi, the village can live in peace with the guards. The Uchiha have never lacked people who can understand the will of fire."

Danzo said with a gloomy face, "I think it's better to act first. We should take advantage of Uchiha's lack of preparation, lead people to destroy Uchiha in advance, and completely solve this hidden danger."

The third Hokage glanced at Danzo, "Are you taking the lead? Uchiha is a member of the village, not an enemy. If you take the lead, what will other ninja villages think of the Hokage Building?"

"Uchiha is already the enemy of the village."

Danzo looked serious, and then left the Hokage office directly, intending to summon Itachi at the root.
