Chapter 282: death of the believer
Chapter 282 Death of the Believer
Late May.
Shishui got the order and quietly came to a conference room in the Hokage Building.
When he came here, Shisui discovered that not only the third Hokage, but also the consultants, Koharu Mito, and the root leader Shimura Danzo were also here.
Although he was surprised, he didn't question anything.
These people are the comrades-in-arms of the third Hokage, and also the comrades-in-arms of their ancestor Uchiha mirror, and they are trustworthy elders.
I am also a secret member of Naruto directly under Anbu, so at this time, it is not a particularly important secret.
"Shisui, I called you here today because of the internal affairs of the Uchiha clan. According to Itachi's report, the radical faction of the Uchiha clan has set up a beheading operation team to target us, and is planning to use a large number of detonating symbols to attack various important facilities in the village, causing riots in the village and facilitating their actions. Is that the case?"
Mito Menyan asked first.
"Not only that, they also plan to hold Jinchuriki hostage and release Kyuubi."
Danzo also mentioned a sentence at this time, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed.
Zhi Shui did not hide anything, nodded and said: "Yes, they are indeed planning to do this, and the official action time is the 20th of next month."
Since Itachi reported this kind of thing, it would be a joke to conceal it.
Moreover, even if some information is shared, Shisui doesn't think it's a problem.
He already had a way to deal with it, which made the Uchiha family overcome this difficulty.
Hizan and Danzo were a little silent, while Koharu and Mitomonyan whispered a few words, and Shisui vaguely heard sensitive words such as "timely stop" and "forced suppression".
"In other words, there is less than a month left, right? Time is running out. I think we can take action against the Uchiha clan immediately. With Itachi as our internal support, suppressing the Uchiha clan is not a problem."
Danzo expresses his views, and his attitude is very tough.
"Sure enough, you shouldn't have too much trust in the Uchiha clan, and you have fallen to the point of a coup d'etat. Just like what Danzo said, Kirigakure's successful case has given them infinite reverie. I agree with Danzo's approach."
Mito Menyan sighed, the matter has really developed to this point, so it is no longer under their control, and correct countermeasures must be taken.
Ban Zhuan Xiaochun also nodded, expressing agreement.
Things have come to this point, we should proceed from the perspective of the overall situation of the village. If the Uchiha clan wants a coup, for the safety of the village, they should also take action before the Uchiha clan coup, so as to prevent Konoha from being severely injured and give the rest of Ninja Village a chance to take advantage of it.
Seeing that the three high-level officials wanted to use force to suppress the Uchiha clan at this moment, Shisui knew that at this time, he had to stand up.
"Three elders, can you listen to me?"
He has persuaded the three generations of Hokage to let the Uchiha clan's affairs be handled by himself.
Now, as long as the three elders are persuaded, the Uchiha clan can get back on track without having to conflict with the village, and the fuse for the Fourth Ninja World War will also be cut off.
"What do you think, Shisui? You are a descendant of Jing, and everything you do will be from the perspective of the village. If you have a better way, we can also be considerate."
Turning to Xiaochun who opened her mouth, looking at Shisui's resolute and slightly younger face, it brought her back to the years when she and Uchiha Kagami experienced **** battles decades ago.
The past is over, after the old man, he is already so old, and he still has the reputation of Shishen Shishui in the ninja world, the old friend should also smile when he knows it.
"Thank you very much. My method is to use illusion to control the patriarch Uchiha Fugaku, let him personally cancel the coup strategy at the clan meeting, and at the same time suppress the radicals."
"Impossible, Uchiha Fugaku's strength is a high-strength ninja that can be compared with Sannin. Taijutsu, illusion, and ninjutsu are all made by hand. Even if we meet him, we can't look directly at his Sharingan."
Mito Menyan took the lead in rejecting Shisui's proposal.
Because this method is too unreliable.
Sharingan not only has the name of the eye of copying, but also a series of names such as the eye of illusion.
No matter how good Shisui is, it is impossible to use Sharingan to make Uchiha Fugaku fall into the illusion.
For the application of Sharingan, Uchiha Fugaku has already reached the pinnacle.
"I know. That's why I should do this even more. Only in this way can bloodshed be avoided. This is what I rely on."
After Zhishui finished speaking, a gigantic Gouyu appeared in both pupils, shining with scarlet light, making people shudder.
The temperature in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point.
The eyes of the three Danzo who didn't know the truth suddenly widened.
Although it is different from the information in Konoha’s records, the Sharingan that is different from the basic shape of the hooked jade... There is basically only one possibility—
Kaleidoscopic Sharingan!
At this time, Hizhan saw Shisui displaying a kaleidoscope Sharingan, and immediately frightened his three old friends, he smiled and said: "This is the case, I have already handed over the affairs of the Uchiha clan to Shisui. In this way, the Uchiha clan will also slowly integrate with the village under Shisui's guidance."
Day Zhan expressed his point of view.
"What?"
The three of Danzo were a little puzzled, and didn't understand what Hirazan meant.
Zhishui explained: "My kaleidoscope sharingan exclusive pupil technique is called 'Bie Tianshen', which can invade the target's brain and modify the target's will without knowing it."
As soon as this remark came out, Danzo directly avoided the gaze of Shisui, and his body couldn't help trembling.
Don't be a god, this technique...must...
Thinking of this, fear and fear disappeared, leaving only fanaticism in my heart.
"I will use this technique to control Uchiha Fugaku's will, let him become my puppet, and officially announce the disbandment of the coup d'état. The radicals will not be able to bypass the patriarch to implement the coup, and their plans will go bankrupt."
Zhishui narrated casually, which also represented his self-confidence.
Seeing that the three of Danzo fell silent, and none of them took the initiative to speak, Hirizhan knew it was time to make up his mind.
"Shisui, your method, we agree. Act according to your will."
Ri Zhan agreed, and the three elders acquiesced, which was equivalent to passing all the high-level officials, and Zhishui was also delighted.
"Yes, Hokage-sama. I plan to do it at tomorrow's rally, so as not to have long nights and dreams. Then, I will take my leave first."
Zhi Shui took a deep breath, turned and left the conference room.
◎
Standing under the eaves, Fuyue folded his arms and looked thoughtful.
Behind him, Itachi was about to walk over.
Fuyue said immediately: "Itachi."
Itachi stopped and asked, "What's the matter, father?"
"Don't forget to attend the rally tomorrow."
Tomorrow's rally is very important. All the routes for launching the coup will be determined, including the Uchiha ninjas who participated in the coup. All of them must be strictly planned.
Itachi, as a powerful fighting force of the Uchiha clan, has the obligation to participate.
"Tomorrow I have..."
"You must attend."
Fuyue turned around and looked at Itachi with sharp eyes, his attitude was unprecedentedly tough.
Itachi looked up and looked directly into Fu Yue's eyes, and said without changing his tone: "Tomorrow Anbu has an important task, so please forgive me for not being able to go. I will go there and apologize later."
Yeah, tomorrow is the day when Zhishui will start.
If he appeared there, he would inevitably be suspected by the clansmen. It was he who changed his father's mind and thus was targeted.
In that case, it might destroy the plan to stop the water.
Seeing that there is only one step away from success, Itachi sincerely hopes that Shisui's plan can succeed.
In that way, he doesn't have to choose between the clan and the village.
If possible, he also wants to think from the perspective of a clan, but the more he thinks, the more he understands, how narrow and ignorant it is to think from the perspective of a clan.
Especially the stupid adults, how extreme and arrogant.
Ignoring Fu Yue's gradually gloomy face, Itachi continued: "Sorry, father, I have a date next, and I will be back before dinner."
After finishing speaking, he walked directly to the entrance without giving Fu Yue a chance.
"Itachi—"
Fu Yue chased after him a little angrily.
I don't know when it started, but there has been a difference of opinion between myself and my son.
Obviously the exchange was very pleasant that day, and Itachi didn't have the mood to resist, so why didn't he want to reconcile with the clansmen?
If these people are lost, he doesn't know how Itachi will be promoted to Hokage in the future.
The Uchiha clan is the first strong backing he wants to win over.
Lost the support of a clan, how to stand out from the Hokage candidates?
Those civilians... Although Hokage is judged through popular elections, the reality is not as good as ideal.
Since the election of the third generation of Hokage, it has embarked on a road of no return.
Because the third generation of Hokage was not selected through popular elections, but was directly appointed by the second generation of Hokage, bypassing the popular vote and making the democratically elected system a complete joke.
If Itachi continues to fight coldly with his clansmen like this, then it is necessary for him to consider the replacement of the next heir.
Itachi like this cannot become the leader of the Uchiha clan.
Even the Uchiha clan cannot be subdued, let alone the higher-ranking Hokage.
This is the greatest ignorance.
Why would my son, who has always been excellent in ninja talent, be stupid about this kind of thing?
Chased to the entrance.
Fuyue was about to stop Itachi and reprimanded him at home.
As long as you can listen to it, there is always a chance to redeem it.
Yadao and the others were already very dissatisfied with Itachi's attitude, and had faint thoughts of isolating him, and even sent people to monitor Itachi's whereabouts.
As the patriarch, as a father, it is necessary for him to correct Itachi's mistakes.
But when he reached the entrance, Fu Yue was stunned.
Itachi had already walked out of the door, and beside him, there was a girl about the same age as Itachi.
Looking weak and weak, with a very clean smile on his face, he walked away with Itachi affectionately.
"..."
That girl, Fu Yue remembers, is called Izumi Uchiha.
It seems that she and Itachi were students of the same grade at the beginning, and she can be regarded as a genius girl in the Uchiha clan.
However, what shocked Fuyue was that Itachi had female friends. Judging by their attitude, Itachi didn't seem to reject it.
All along, he thought that Shishui was the only person who had a close relationship with Itachi.
Unexpectedly, there is a female friend secretly.
When did you come together?
Fuyue smiled wryly, and suddenly felt that as a father, he was too dereliction of duty.
All along, I have been strict with Itachi on how to be an excellent ninja, but I have always had little emotional care, and I don't understand what Itachi is longing for in his heart.
Do you need friends, or do you feel lonely when you are alone?
These, as a father himself, never knew, and never asked.
Thinking of this, Fu Yue's heart was suddenly filled with guilt.
Are you too strict with your son's education?
Perhaps the young son should not have been brought into the battlefield like Shura’s **** to experience the cruelty of war as an enlightenment education.
Since then, Itachi has become more hardworking, but also more indifferent.
As a father, he is a complete loser in educating his son.
◎
The time came to the next day.
On the platform of a tall building, Shisui came here following a ninja.
Here, he saw Danzo, who was standing opposite him with a calm face, not far from him.
"Elder Danzang, what can I do for you at this time?"
Zhishui asked.
Obviously, the strategy was drawn up yesterday, but at this time, Danzo invited himself to come to talk alone, which made Shisui very puzzled.
Danzo took a look at Shisui and said, "Your darkness is not enough."
Darkness?
Zhishui looked puzzled.
Compared with Itachi's inner darkness and depression, Shisui couldn't get into Danzo's eyes at all.
This is Danzo's truest view.
"Tonight is the time for the Uchiha assembly, do you still want to stick to your own approach?"
Danzo asked.
"Yes. It's the best thing to do so far."
Zhishui replied.
"But I can tell you responsibly that your plan will definitely fail."
“I believe in my abilities.”
"Your self-confidence is not worth mentioning. I have experienced three ninja world wars, and I have already seen through the reality of the ninja world. Even if you control Uchiha Fugaku, the radicals may elect another patriarch to power because of Uchiha Fugaku's cowardice, and a coup will still happen."
Danzo said calmly.
"But, if you don't try it, how will you know the final result?"
"You are still a child and don't understand the true face of this ninja world. Because the leader can be replaced at any time."
Danzo's eyes shone with ambition.
"This kind of words..."
Shisui frowned, Danzo's words were a bit outrageous, did he want to usurp the position of Hokage?
"So, your eyes, with me, can make Konoha stronger..."
"What?"
Zhishui was startled, suddenly felt something was wrong, subconsciously wanted to retreat.
It's too late.
There was a stabbing pain in the right eye, and Danzo was already holding a fresh eyeball that had been shining with a slimy light in his hand.
Danzo looked greedily at the eyes in his hand, then smiled and said to Shisui: "So, you are a child."
Itachi is a puppet who can fulfill his long-cherished wish, but Shisui will only hinder his actions.
Nichizane, exposing Shisui's ability to me is your biggest mistake, so your countermeasures to balance Uchiha and the village will be completely out of balance. Danzo sneered from the bottom of his heart.
"Damn...damn..."
Realizing that his right eye had been taken away by Danzo, Shisui endured the severe pain, used Blink to retreat, and an angry light burst out from his left eye to stare at Danzo.
Kaleidoscopic Sharingan has been opened.
Danzo didn't care, but closed his eyes, making Shisui frown again. I don't know if it was because of the pain of losing his right eye, or because of Danzo's actions, which gave him a headache.
Kaleidoscopic Sharingan is a more advanced Sharingan pupil technique.
Sharingan casts illusions, and it needs to meet the eyes to complete the illusion.
But the kaleidoscope sharingan does not need it, as long as it can actually see the other party's eyes, it can directly cast illusions.
Danzo obviously knows many secrets of Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
This is obviously an important secret that only ninjas who have opened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan will know.
Why is Danzo so clear?
Danzo didn't give Shisui much time to think. With a wave of his hand, a large number of root ninjas emerged from the surroundings, about 20 of them, and Shisui's face changed drastically.
Without words, without hesitation, they swarmed forward, taking the most ferocious attack, intending to kill Zhishui and seize the kaleidoscope Sharingan on his left.
Shisui did not hesitate, and left the place with the instant body technique, no longer thinking about taking back the right eye from Danzo, but chose to run away directly.
Facing so many elite ninjas, he has already lost one eye, and in the end he has no choice but to lose.
Danzo didn't go forward to pursue him personally, but opened his eyes again, looked in the direction of Shisui's escape, and muttered to himself:
"Jing, if I do this, if you know me, you will understand me, right? This is all for the sake of the future of the village...Don't let others master the ability of God, this ability is too dangerous..."
◎
The sky was getting dark and the rally had already started. Itachi didn't plan to go to Nanga Shrine to attend the rally, but he also lied to his father that he didn't have any tasks for Anbu today, and he didn't respond to meeting the people in Nebu.
Because everything will come to an end today.
He came to the woods where he used to practice with a relaxed mood in the morning. There was no one there, and it belonged to him and Zhishui.
Didn't leave until evening.
Waiting for Zhishui to arrive here and telling him the news that the plan has been successful.
Thinking like this, Itachi felt relaxed. If he had those eyes, Shisui would definitely succeed.
Just as he was thinking, there was a slight movement behind him. Itachi turned around and looked at the person with some doubts.
"Zhishui, why do you..."
Zhishui looked very embarrassed at the moment, not to mention a lot of injuries on his body, his right eye was bleeding, and it had already died on his face.
Zhishui trembled, showing a wry smile.
"Sorry, Itachi, my operation failed."
"What, could it be father..."
"No, I didn't go to the rally, but was attacked by Danzo's people, and the Kaleidoscope Sharingan on my right was also taken away by him."
"!?"
Danzo!
Thinking of the old man with a gloomy face, Itachi's anger suddenly rose.
That man, why are you doing this?
Didn’t he give everything to protect Konoha?
Shisui's actions are for Konoha's peace, so it should coincide with his plan, right?
Why did you sneak attack Zhishui?
"I may not be able to stop the coup... I already understand that Danzo doesn't believe in our Uchiha clan at all. He will use his own way to determine the future of the Uchiha clan. And that future will definitely put the Uchiha clan in danger."
Shisui calm down.
"Then Zhishui, you..."
"Kaleidoscopic Sharingan, only with both eyes in hand can it display its full power. The people at the root are chasing me, and Danzo will always stare at my left eye. Therefore, I plan to give this eye to you for safekeeping. The only person I can trust now is you."
Shisui's hand left the left side, took off the left eye button, and put it in front of Itachi.
Itachi looked at Shisui's empty expression of losing his eyes. It can be imagined that he, who was attacked by Danzo, became at a loss about the fate of his family.
Itachi endured the heartache for his friend, and took over the kaleidoscope Sharingan from Shisui's eyes.
"I see, I will keep it safe for you."
Received Itachi's affirmation, Shisui also heaved a sigh of relief and smiled, then the smile disappeared, and he said in another tone:
"There is one more thing you must know."
"What?"
"That's me...the friend who killed me in the past."
"?"
Itachi is holding Shisui's kaleidoscope Sharingan, but he can't think in his head.
What does it mean to kill a friend...?
Shisui continued: "That happened before I met you. I have another close friend in the village. I have been with him since the ninja school, and the relationship is getting better and better. But I am also jealous of his talent, because he can be one step faster than me in everything, and the tasks are good, and the rest of his talents are far better than me."
Itachi quietly listened to Shisui's narration without interrupting.
"After graduation, I was in a team with him. During a dangerous mission, our team was ambushed by the enemy. He also died in that mission. The reason was that I refused to save him...Because I was jealous of his talent, so in that mission, he who should have survived was sacrificed because I refused to save him."
Itachi didn't expect such a terrible darkness to lurk in Shisui's heart.
Jealousy?
So, does killing a friend mean this?
“And when I returned to the village, the village seniors, who didn’t know anything about it, thought that I had escaped from such a predicament and called me a hero. My best friend’s parents also expressed their understanding and didn’t blame me... In fact, he didn’t deserve to die. As long as I stretched out my hand, he could have survived, but I didn’t do that... After that, I have been living in the shadow of my best friend’s death. It was also at that time that my kaleidoscope Sharingan opened its eyes."
Shisui smiled self-deprecatingly, and looked at Itachi from the hollow part that lost his eyes.
"I'm bored. Because of this kind of boring jealousy, I caused my friend to die in pain in front of me. I can't forgive myself for that. Even if I awakened the kaleidoscope Sharingan, I don't want to use this kind of power. These eyes are opened because of him, and I am not qualified to use this kind of power. But, for the sake of the family, I must use these eyes. But now..."
It's too late.
I am being hunted down by Nebu. In order to get his eye, Danzo will do whatever it takes, and even take action against the Uchiha clan in advance.
At that time, Uchiha and the village's high-level **** battle, Konoha and the country of fire will never have peace, and the enemy country will take advantage of it.
The peace that countless ancestors exchanged with blood will be completely ruined by his actions.
"this is not your fault…"
"Don't comfort me, Itachi. I am very aware of my weakness, so I am very grateful that I was able to meet you later and you accepted me."
"Yeah?"
Itachi recalled the days when he met Shisui, and didn't know what to say.
If Zhishui is jealous, he can only refuse to save the past...
So, when you get along with yourself, is there any so-called jealousy?
Itachi shook his head, for some reason, he couldn't imagine it anymore.
Zhishui has transformed, he is no longer the weak and jealous Zhishui of other people's talents.
From the death of his best friend, Zhishui learned how to manage himself, instead of relying on jealousy to make himself grow.
"This matter involves the secret of kaleidoscope Sharingan eye opening. Let me tell you this secret, I hope you will do the last thing for me..."
"What?"
"Kill me, get Kaleidoscope Sharingan..."
Itachi's body shook violently, and he looked at Shishui in disbelief.
"Please, Itachi, please save the Uchiha clan, the last reputation..."
When he said this, Zhishui had already burst into tears.
Itachi didn't know why Shisui was crying.
But from Zhi Shui's face, he saw endless despair.
Why despair?
Even if there is Danzo causing trouble, it has not yet reached the point of complete failure, and there is still power to restore it. As long as Hokage is persuaded and talks with Uchiha, everything still has a chance.
"I watched my best friend die because of jealousy, I kept wandering between the village and the clan, and now it's the end of my life..."
Neither can I forgive myself who killed my best friend, I can’t forgive myself who didn’t protect my family, and I can’t forgive myself who started to obey the village, and I can’t bear the outbreak of war, seeing countless innocent civilians displaced, wives and children separated...
Over the years, I have really done a lot of stupid things.
Perhaps from the very beginning, they should not have been in contact with the third generation of Hokage, nor should they have joined Anbu.
You should oppose Itachi joining Anbu and avoid contact with Itachi and high-level officials.
"Therefore, Itachi, after you get the kaleidoscope Sharingan, you must live and not die..."
Even alone.
As long as he is alive, Uchiha still has hope of revival.
With such hopeless Zhishui, at the last moment of my life, I thought a lot, and finally understood all the things I didn't understand before.
Zhi Shui remembered a sentence that many people often say.
The moment of death is not the moment when the body stops moving, but the moment when the faith collapses.
If possible, Shisui hopes Itachi will never understand the truth of this.
Hold on to your ignorance and firm your way.
