I don’t know if it was because of the clan leader’s warning, but Uchiha Shisui did notice some small abnormalities around him.
For example, there are vague sights and unfamiliar faces mixed in the crowd.
Either way, it makes the situation seem 'unusual'.
"Ms. Yu Yue, during this period..."
Uchiha Shisui subconsciously wanted to remind Yu Yue to go out less as much as possible and not meet guests alone.
But when Ugetsu looked at him with a questioning look, he changed his tone.
"No, nothing."
——Why bother to talk about something that hasn't happened yet and just add to other people's troubles?
Besides, isn't the reason I'm here so that Miss Yu Yue doesn't have to worry or be scared about these things?
Seeing Uchiha Shisui's worried look, Yu Yue felt a little guilty.
After all, this series of preparations were prepared by her after consultation with Uchiha Fugaku.
The purpose was to set up a trap for Uchiha Shisui to test the strength of the script and the feasibility of the plan.
Noticing that Yu Yue was still looking at him, the boy even kindly explained: "Ms. Yu Yue, don't worry. I was just overthinking."
No matter if there is something wrong or not, he will make it become 'nothing'.
It's clear that Shisui's determination is not just talk.
Soon, he found an 'opportunity'.
That day, Uchiha Shisui went to the various workshops of Ugetsu Shop to confirm the progress as usual.
In order to grasp the progress at the first time, he would walk like this every day as long as he had no other schedule.
This has been the case for many years.
Today is no exception.
However, as the boy was walking, he suddenly stopped.
"You must be tired after following me for so long."
He spoke without turning his head.
There was no one else on the fork in the road that he took specifically except him.
The surroundings were so quiet that it seemed as if everything was just his illusion, but the boy walked calmly towards an empty corner on the fork in the road.
In a flash, he dragged a person out from the originally empty corner.
The ninja, dressed in tight clothes and wearing a mask, probably did not expect that he would be caught by this boy who was many years younger than him, and was stunned for a moment.
"Who sent you?"
As he spoke, the boy's eyes changed.
It turned red.
However, facing the Sharingan that looked like a photo of Uchiha, the ninja said nothing.
The boy's expression became increasingly grim, and he issued an ultimatum:
"Confess early, and you'll avoid suffering."
However, the man tilted his head strangely, and then his limbs twisted unnaturally.
Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui quickly moved away from the man. At this moment, the man suddenly twisted and expanded, and then the whole person exploded.
Although Uchiha dodged quickly, there were still scratches on his exposed face.
When the smoke cleared, everything disappeared.
There was nothing left at the site except traces of the explosion.
The curly-haired boy lost his usual gentle appearance, and stared at the explosion with the cruel eyes of a ninja.
——If Yu Yue stood here, she would even doubt whether the person in front of her was the same boy she was familiar with.
Because apart from the same appearance, she would not be able to find any familiar qualities in the current 'Uchiha Shisui'.
On the other side, knowing that the mission had failed, Danzo Shimura just snorted coldly.
"As expected, you are the genius of the new generation of Uchiha."
While thinking this, Shimura Danzo still showed a bit of regret on his face.
——What a pity.
It would have been great if we could have caught him early and made him our own.
As a tool, he is perfect.
"What a pity, what a pity... cough cough cough."
As he spoke, Danzo Shimura started coughing again.
"Danzo-sama!"
The masked Root ninja beside him wanted to step forward to show concern, but was blocked by him with a rude wave of his hand.
"Do you think I'm so weak that I need to be sympathized with?"
He coughed and scolded his men harshly.
"Of course not."
The ninja immediately knelt on one knee on the ground.
"It's my fault."
"Forget it." Shimura Danzo waved his hand again.
"What did they say about the 'Akatsuki' who asked you to deliver the letter?"
Since internal forces could not be mobilized, Shimura Danzo naturally contacted "external forces" skillfully.
This is not the first time that he has joined forces with other forces to achieve his own goals.
And not only was it not his first time, he was also very skilled.
The person he found this time was also considered to be a semi-acquaintance of his.
The reason why he said "half" was because his real "old acquaintance" from the Hidden Rain Village, the Salamander Hanzo, was already dead.
This one now is the 'Akatsuki' that he once worked with Hanzo of the Salamander to kill the leader.
Even though he had joined forces with others to kill its leader in the past, Danzo Shimura believed that no one in the world would refuse the benefits.
Just like between ninja villages.
In the past, they always fought to the death, but when it comes to cooperation, won’t they put aside their past grudges and work together?
Therefore, Danzo Shimura was very confident that this new force after its rebirth would never reject the hand extended by him, a senior elder of Konoha and head of the Root.
After all, for these small rural forces, cooperating with me would definitely be beneficial with no harm.
No matter what I leak, it will be enough for them to make a fortune.
Therefore, although he asked, he was actually confident of winning and was just waiting for the other party to agree with trepidation.
However……
"What's wrong?"
Facing his subordinates who had remained silent for a long time, Danzo Shimura frowned.
"he……"
Of course the subordinate knows that his answer is definitely not what the leader wants, but since the leader has brought it up, he certainly cannot help but respond.
I had to close my eyes and speak out in one breath:
"They refused and said they would not cooperate in the future and asked you not to contact them again."
——In fact, the original words also included 'Don't blame them for being rude if they come again', but if these words were repeated to Danzo-sama verbatim, he was afraid that Danzo-sama would not be able to bear it and something bad would happen to him again.
That would be a really serious sin.
So he could only choose such an implicit statement to explain it.
"Sure enough...what did you say?"
Because he didn't anticipate the second possibility, Danzo Shimura didn't even react for a moment.
What followed was a suffocating silence, and the subordinates didn't even dare to look at Shimura Danzo's face.
Based on his understanding of Shimura Danzo...
Sure enough, the table in front of him followed the same fate as the previous tables and cracked directly.
"They refused?"
Shimura Danzo squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
"……Yes."
The subordinate hesitated for a moment, then picked out a less provocative sentence from the ones he hadn't said before and added:
“They said they would never forget what you had done before…”
"ha!"
Shimura Danzo was so angry that he almost laughed.
What have you done before?
Do they still want to bring up the former leader's affairs?
Don't be ridiculous, that was a long time ago.
As a force, shouldn't we look forward and choose stronger partners?
The Hidden Rain Village was able to survive to this day because they chose themselves between Akatsuki and themselves!
"Short-sighted, no wonder you haven't achieved anything yet."
Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth in hatred.
He certainly didn't think he was wrong.
And since I am not wrong, the ones who are wrong can only be those ungrateful little brats.
Yes, Danzo Shimura sent someone to contact Akatsuki on the day he decided to take action.
Although he has been dormant for so many years and has not been able to return to the decision-making level, after all, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
The necessary information and understanding are still there.
That's why he had carefully chosen Akatsuki, a force that was secretive and erratic, and would do anything for money.
Only this kind of desperate person can use it with confidence.
——On the Akatsuki side, Nagato and Konan were also amused by Shimura Danzo's shameless request.
The murderer comes to the victim’s relatives and friends to discuss cooperation... That’s not too shameless, right?
Although Xiao takes on any job.
But this is Danzo Shimura!
He is the murderer who killed Yahiko!
Before they even went to find him, he came to them on his own.
Xiaonan punched the wall hard.
The reason why they didn't take action before.
It's not that they have forgotten the blood feuds.
It’s only because I’ve chosen a more important goal that I’ve put these things aside for now.
Now that Shimura Danzo's letter of cooperation has arrived, it's really like new and old grudges are coming together.
Not killing the messenger was already their greatest mercy.
"Especially since they have to deal with the Uchiha this time..."
As the exclusive partner of Yuyue Store.
Of course, Xiaonan knew how close the Uchiha and Ugetsu store were.
Bo, wouldn't that be equivalent to ruining Miss Yu Yue's business and causing her to suffer huge losses!
Especially since Uchiha Shisui is Miss Utsuki's gold medal assistant, how could he still work with peace of mind beside Miss Utsuki when something happened in his own clan?
By then, Miss Yu Yue will not only lose business, but also lose her top employees. Even the work process will be hindered...
How is this possible?
Not to mention Yahiko's blood feud, just considering the profits they can get from the Ugetsu Shop, there is no way they will cooperate with Shimura Danzo.
That old guy must be getting senile.
So Nagato and Konan rejected the person without any hesitation.
When Uchiha Obito, who had to search for his companions himself, came back and learned that such a thing had happened while he was away, Shimura Danzo was so angry that he almost died.
Forget about redeeming it, it's good enough if I don't get killed by him.
After hearing what Black Zetsu said, Uchiha Obito angrily found Konan and Nagato:
"Why are you refusing!?"
What a great opportunity to weaken Konoha and cause chaos, how could they refuse it!?
"Do you know what the hell you are doing!?"
Uchiha Obito didn't even bother to maintain his character. With a slap, another desk was declared scrapped.
However, in the face of his anger, Konan and Nagato looked numb and continued to do their own things without caring.
"Are you guys listening?"
"I heard it." Xiaonan took the time to reply, "But so what?"
Their goal is to make the world feel pain, not just create a little chaos in a certain ninja village.
Besides, they still have to rely on Yu Yue Store to make money.
Only those who manage the household know how expensive firewood and rice are, especially now when the income and expenditure are barely balanced .
So what…
Uchiha Obito was almost irritated to death by these light words.
However, Nagato's finishing blow came again:
"It's not like you don't know about our hatred for Shimura Danzo."
"Why don't you cooperate with your biggest enemy first, and then make demands on us."
Cooperate with Kakashi and Minato-sensei?
How is that possible!
Uchiha Obito almost said it.
But fortunately, he still had a trace of rationality, which prevented him from losing his temper.
Reveal your identity.
But in this case, there is really no way to continue to blame.
The matter had to be left unresolved.
Only Black Zetsu was angry, but not that angry.
——After all, Uchiha Obito has been stubborn and has failed to deliver more than once or twice.
This result was probably within his expectations.
So he just rolled his eyes fiercely again, then ran away and disappeared.
If you can't see it, it's better not to look at it.
In the end, it depends on myself to resurrect my mother.
As expected, Otsutsuki Hagoromo’s bloodline is just not good!
After Shimura Danzo's request for cooperation failed, he got angry and put the matter behind him.
After all, it is just a small force that is ignorant of the times.
How can Shimura Danzo not get things done without them? You must be kidding. When he was in power, these youngsters were not even born yet.
He doesn't have enough manpower in the Uchiha clan now.
But Yuyue Store is different.
Meanwhile, the 'test' of Ugetsu and the Uchiha clan also began to close step by step.
Because they could not find any other breakthrough, Ugetsu and Uchiha Fugaku could only choose a bloody script that any normal person would find unbearable, not to mention the Uchiha.
And because it was so tragic, Uchiha Fugaku even said "sin" a few times in his heart.
But the arrow has been drawn and there is no reason to regret it.
However, one day, when the script was about to be performed, an accident happened.
Because Uchiha Shisui received a notice from the Anbu ninja that the Hokage wanted to see him about something, he said goodbye to Ugetsu and left Ugetsu Shop.
However, he didn't walk far before he realized something was wrong.
"This isn't the direction of the Hokage Building."
Upon discovering that Uchiha Shisui had seen through his plot, the 'Anbu' leading the way no longer pretended.
Instead, he directly joined forces with his companions to start fighting.
These ninjas of unknown origin attack fiercely and sharply, far exceeding the strength of ordinary ninjas.
If an ordinary ninja suddenly faced such an attack, he would probably be unable to escape.
But the one standing here at this moment was Uchiha Shisui.
The 'Uchiha genius' who was active on the battlefield at a young age.
Faced with enemies that were more numerous than himself, he calmly began to fight.
And at one point there were signs of suppressing several people.
——The battle was clearly going on quite fiercely, but no one came to investigate.
This was obviously prepared in advance.
And there might be traitors in Konoha who are colluding with them.
Who is the enemy?
Is he an enemy of the Uchiha? Or is he a competitor who is dissatisfied with the booming business of the Ugetsu store?
Facing the enemy's violent attacks, he could even think while fighting.
However, his enemies were no pushovers either.
Not only do these people have outstanding individual strength, but they also have great coordination.
They soon found a breakthrough.
“Got it!”
The ninja who manipulated the steel wire used the steel wire to weave a net and trapped Uchiha Shisui in it.
The wires bound his limbs tightly, with such force that they even dug into his flesh.
Looking at the blood flowing from the boy's body, a look of joy appeared on the face under the ninja mask - it worked!
This is...
However, there was no panic on the face of the tied-up boy, and he even smiled.
"What are you laughing at—"
The man walked forward angrily, but found that his body was as if restrained by something and he could not move at all.
“How, how…”
"What are you doing!"
The panicked voice of his companion sounded from the side. The moment the man turned around, he realized that he and his companion had been controlled by the steel wire without him knowing when.
The taut steel wire tightened around the limbs, and if one dared to move rashly, one might end up with one's head and body separated.
The man's eyes were bloodshot.
He had no idea what was going on.
At this moment, a relaxed young man came into his sight.
The red-eyed boy was looking at him with a cold expression.
"Sharingan! It's a genjutsu!"
The man screamed.
"This is all an illusion!"
"So when did it start to be an illusion?"
A smile appeared on the boy's cold face.
"Is it me who is tied up, or you who are tied up at this moment?"
He looked at the people who were tied up by the steel wires like a dragnet, just like a hunter looking at his prey on a spider web.
Men don’t dare judge.
I don’t know how to judge.
They only know one thing
thing.
That is, no matter what they do, it's too late.
Uchiha's Sharingan is such a terrifying existence.
After defeating the enemy, Uchiha Shisui quickly returned to Ugetsu Shop.
Without knowing who the enemy is, the Uchiha clan has enough fighting power.
Miss Yu Yue's place is the most dangerous.
I don't know the identity of the enemy, nor how many people there are...
Uchiha Shisui's heart sank.
He was very upset.
——How could I fall into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain so easily?
...Now I just hope it's not too late.
At this moment, he still didn't know what was waiting for him in Yuyue Store.
When the boy finally rushed back to Yuyue Store.
The once bustling store was now silent.
The light of the setting sun splashed on the walls of the store like blood.
There are no more guests coming and going, and no one can see the colleagues who should be working hard here.
If it were any other time, the boy would definitely be able to realize that something was wrong with the environment at that moment - for example, although it was almost evening, the sunset would not appear in such a position so early.
The color of the sunset is not really as red as blood.
But the previous attack had clouded the boy's judgment, so that he could not think of anything except rushing in and rushing to Miss Ugetsuki's side.
The house that should have been familiar now seemed so strange.
Although I didn't smell much blood, the silent atmosphere made me feel suffocated.
What happened? How far have we progressed?
How is everyone?
Did Miss Yu Yue evacuate to a safe environment in time?
Too many thoughts came to my mind.
Instead, it made Uchiha Shisui lose the ability to think.
He just rushed into the store with all his heart.
He didn't care about the blood or the people who fell to the ground.
He was only worried that if he was a step slower, he would make an irreparable mistake.
Uchiha Shisui never feared his own death.
The only thing he fears is losing.
Losing peace, losing people’s smiles… losing the most important person in your life.
Finally, he saw the door that he could imagine : "Ms. Yu Yue!"
Uchiha Shisui rushed in
Come.
Uchiha Fugaku, who was controlling the illusion, was stunned - you came so quickly, and I haven't finished yet.
Although the illusion of the Sharingan can be extremely realistic.
With the kaleidoscope in my possession, I can do my best to perfectly reproduce the script prepared by Ms. Ugetsuki.
But after all, they are facing Uchiha Shisui, who also has the Sharingan and is extremely alert, so the kind of 'crude illusion' that tells a whole story at a glance is definitely not going to work.
So Uchiha Fugaku took advantage of Uchiha Shisui's absence to spread the illusion bit by bit.
Because Miss Ugetsu's room is of utmost importance.
Therefore, he put in 120% of his energy, trying not to find even the slightest flaw.
But this will slow down the process.
——No one expected that Uchiha Shisui would come back so soon.
They had originally planned to send someone to call him back.
But now that things have come to this, I can only continue.
Therefore, Uchiha Fugaku had to skip the complicated communication and fighting process, and directly let Uchiha Shisui see the scene of "the homeless Uchiha stabbing Miss Ugetsu with a knife" as soon as he opened the door.
Blood dripped down the blade and onto the ground.
The spreading smell of blood is so heartbreaking.
——My heart almost stopped beating because of this.
At that moment, Uchiha Shisui's mind went blank.
Miss Ugetsu, who was full of energy and responded to him with a smile before leaving, is now just skewered on a knife, lifeless.
There was no breath, no movement.
Only blood.
There was only blood that seemed to have no end in sight, flowing endlessly along the floor.
It’s surprising how such a small body can hold so much blood.
"ah……"
Uchiha Shisui felt that his world was filled with blood.
Red, red, red.
Everything was bright red as far as the eye could see.
Even when the enemy turned towards him, the boy was unable to respond in time.
Reason, judgment, everything came to a standstill.
Only regret, only pain...
No, to describe what was happening before my eyes simply as pain would be too light.
It must just be despair.
Indescribable
, unacceptable.
Even death would be easier than this... despair.
The boy even lost the ability to breathe.
In his world, there is only red.
It couldn't be erased, covering his entire field of vision and staining his eyes red.
The black magatama began to spin rapidly without the control of its owner.
Finally, after merging with each other, a complex windmill-like pattern was formed.
And this is the higher-level form of the Sharingan that the Uchiha have always dreamed of .
'Mangekyo Sharingan'.
Ahhh…
So much pain, so much hatred...yes, revenge.
He must...
"Shisui! Wake up!!!"
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came.
Although the boy's heart was being devoured by hatred and despair, the habit formed over a long period of time still made him subconsciously look for the owner of the voice.
Then, he saw a complete and living Yu Yue looking at him anxiously.
And the one who was blocking and protecting her from coming in front of her was none other than the head of the Fugaku clan, who had a complicated expression on his face.
What on earth is this…
The boy fell into confusion, but at the same time, one thing clearly emerged in his mind.
That is...
Miss Ugetsu is still alive.
No stabbing.
There was no blood all over the ground.
Ahhh…
Something warm liquid flowed out of my eye sockets.
Then came the anxious voice of the girl:
"Wait, wait...Shisui, don't cry!"
What should I do? !
