[Shisui came before the Sandaime to report, and also implored the Sandaime to give him a chance to change the distrust between the Uchiha Clan and the Village.]
[The Sandaime gave him mission authorization with great relief.]
[“Thank you, Sandaime.”]
[“Don’t mention it.
Seeing you reminds me of my former comrade, Uchiha Kagami.”]
(Senju Tobirama: I used to think Kagami would become a bridge between the Uchiha Clan and the Village.)
(Uchiha Kagami: I am very sorry, Teacher Tobirama.
I failed to live up to your expectations; I left too early.)
(Senju Hashirama: Isn’t there still Shisui?
It seems he inherited Kagami’s will.)
(Ōnoki: I heard Uchiha Shisui died by suicide.)
(Ao: It’s a real pity for such a brilliant person.
Konoha loves to produce geniuses, and Konoha’s geniuses love to commit suicide.)
(Senju Hashirama: Nani?!)
(Uchiha Madara: It is impossible to make changes with just one or two people.
You are all too naive.)
(Uchiha Tajima: Especially when that Danzō Shimura is in the upper echelons.
That man’s prejudice against the Uchiha is even more severe than Senju Tobirama’s.
Is this what they call ‘the student surpassing the master’?)
(Uchiha Izuna: Suicide?
I think it’s more likely he was killed by this so-called Danzō Shimura.)
(Senju Tobirama: How is that possible?
Although Danzō is very paranoid, he is definitely not that kind of evil person.)
Danzō Shimura is panicking right now.
This damned screen, it wouldn’t show that incident too, would it?
…
[Shisui went to see Itachi.
“I want to hear your opinion.
How serious do you think Fugaku-san is?”]
[“Serious about what?”]
[“A coup d’état.”
Shisui suddenly became serious.]
“A coup d’état?!”
Sasuke widened his Sharingan, looking at Shisui and Itachi above in disbelief.
How could Father possibly stage a coup d’état?
“Kakashi, you must know…”
When he turned his head to question Kakashi, he realized that he had slipped away at some unknown time.
Sasuke gritted his teeth in anger.
“This cannot be true.”
He was unwilling to accept this fact.
For someone raised with the Village’s traditional education, a coup d’état was a very negative term.
He still remembered the proud expression on his father’s and brother’s faces when they pointed to the Uchiha Clan crest on the Konoha Military Police Force uniform when he was a child.
But why…
The tragic scene of the Nine-Tails attacking the Village suddenly flashed through his mind.
“Could it be that manipulating the Nine-Tails to attack the Village was really the Uchiha Clan’s plan?”
“No…”
His mind was too chaotic; he couldn’t think rationally at all.
“Sasuke, why don’t we go ask Grandfather Sandaime after we finish watching everything?” Naruto suggested uncomfortably.
He definitely didn’t want to help Sasuke; it was just…
just, because I’m kind-hearted!
“Can we get an answer by asking?”
Sasuke was very confused.
The attitude of the high-level officials in the Village was obviously abnormal, and that one-eyed old man had a very strong hatred for the Uchiha Clan.
The Sandaime must be the same, right?
“How do you know if you don’t try?
It’s better than you guessing here alone.”
Naruto scratched the whisker marks on his cheeks.
“Or you could ask your father on that screen.”
Sasuke immediately clenched his fists again, bit his lower lip, and looked very dejected.
“Father was killed by Itachi, yet he still speaks for Itachi.
It’s been like this since I was a child; he has always liked Itachi.”
“I will never be able to compare to that man.”
The joy of seeing his father again was washed away by the barrage of him speaking for Itachi, leaving only unwillingness and confusion.
“Then what exactly should I do?!”
“How should I know?!”
[Shisui: “If possible, I want to eliminate these suspicions.”]
[“Do you think it can be done?”
Itachi’s expression was not optimistic.]
[“I don’t know, but we have to try.
Once the Uchiha launches a coup d’état, it will only lead to an unfortunate outcome for both sides.”]
[Itachi pondered:
“I also oppose a coup d’état, but if we want to change things, we can only use unconventional means.”]
…
In the Hokage Office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was arguing with Danzō about the Uchiha gathering.
[“Shisui will attend the gathering.
If Fugaku Uchiha wants to launch a coup d’état…”]
[Shisui interjected:
“Then I will use Kotoamatsukami.”]
[“Your ocular jutsu?”]
[“I’ve heard it can make the other party look like they are acting according to their own will without them knowing.”]
[Shisui: “I will make Fugaku-san consider a way to coexist with the Village.”]
[Danzō remained skeptical.
“Even if you change Fugaku Uchiha alone, there is no way to convince the others in the Uchiha Clan.”]
[“If the Uchiha changes, then the Village should change too,” Hiruzen said.]
[After the discussion ended, Shisui was called outside of Root by Danzō.]
[“Someone as suspicious as me won’t change my mind easily.”
He paused for a second, and his opened eyes suddenly carried sinister malice.
“At that time, will you use Kotoamatsukami on me too?”]
[As soon as he finished speaking, his right hand grabbed towards Shisui.]
[“I’ll take your Sharingan!”]
[A flash of red light, and the three tomoe in Shisui’s eyes rotated rapidly.]
[Genjutsu cast.]
[He subdued Danzō in one move.]
[When he turned to leave, his footsteps stopped abruptly.
He was punched in the abdomen.
Danzō had broken the genjutsu at some point.]
[He punched and kicked him, then reached out and grabbed.]
[With a crack.]
[Blood splattered.]
[Uchiha Shisui’s Sharingan was gouged out raw.]
(Senju Tobirama: ???)
(Senju Hashirama: Holy shit, what the hell are you doing?!)
(Ōnoki: Shocking!
No wonder they said there was a conspiracy behind the Uchiha Clan Massacre!
So Danzō Shimura was the conspiracy all along!)
(Tobi: Arie arie, who was it that said just now that Danzō is definitely not that kind of person?)
Tobirama’s face was so black it could drip ink!
(Raikage A: The Second Hokage misjudged him.
This Danzō Shimura is very insidious; even ghosts wouldn’t want to deal with him.)
(Chiyo: That may be true, but he was quite friendly to us as enemies, and even helped solve a Body Flicker Shisui.
Thank you very much.)
(Mei Terumī: Although it’s a pity that such a handsome young man died, I still want to thank Danzō.
Our Ao only had a distant encounter with him back then and was scared into having psychological trauma.
Now the trauma is gone.)
(…)
The Kage of other Villages were all expressing their thanks, which was extremely ironic.
(Uchiha Madara: Danzō Shimura, is it?
I have remembered you, you bastard.)
Although he hated the stupid Uchiha Clan, it was not up to an outsider to wipe out the Uchiha Clan.
You even dare to gouge out eyes?
You really have some nerve.
When I am resurrected, I will use you as the first sacrifice!
(Uchiha Izuna: I said it, this person looks sinister at first glance, with a gloomy look.
I think he just coveted the Uchiha’s Sharingan.
Everything he said was for the sake of the Village; it’s disgusting!!
Senju Tobirama, do you see?
This is the good disciple you taught!)
(Uchiha Madara: Hashirama, I told you long ago that your approach would create the darkness of the Village.
You see it now, this is the darkness of the Village.
Under the banner of the Village, look at what they have done?!)
(Senju Hashirama: Sigh~, as expected, people change.
I changed, and Danzō and Hiruzen changed too.)
(Senju Tobirama: Uchiha Shisui, is this true?
Tell me the truth!
And Sarutobi, did you know about this?!)
