Chapter 273 Gift (Part 1)
The meeting between Hagoromo and Orochimaru lasted only a brief moment, and this kind of sneaky behavior was so hidden that no one noticed it.
Hagoromo stopped paying attention to Orochimaru's movements after that, or in other words, he couldn't pay attention anymore.
Hagoromo only knew that Orochimaru was indeed still in the village at this time, but where he had hidden himself might be known only to Orochimaru himself, and Hagoromo had no way of knowing.
From the exchange with Orochimaru, Hagoromo was vaguely aware of an extremely important thing - there was a high probability that Danzo would really make the first move against Uchiha.
There was nothing wrong with what Hagoromo thought. Danzo had never considered keeping Uchiha, but before taking action, he still had some things to do... He had to get rid of the strongest branches first before he could deal with Uchiha. Do it yourself.
Therefore, the first person Danzo has to deal with is "one of his own" and the current strongest Uchiha, Shunshen Shisui.
Although Shisui graduated from the regular "Will of Fire" middle school, Danzo Shimura did not trust him - just because of the surname "Uchiha".
Perhaps Danzo has enough trust in Shisui, but his attitude "has to" be distrustful, because he wants to seek legitimacy for his next actions.
In fact, it cannot be said that his pursuit is so twisted. Looking at the history and future of this world, a simple summary is the process of everyone seeking trouble for themselves, whether he wants to become one of the ten Jinchuuriki, or he wants to seize the Sharingan. Eyes are all the same, there is no difference in essence.
It's strange that the more powerful a ninja is, the less likely they are to reach Super Saiyan 4 by their own strength. It's normal to find someone to cheat on.
Therefore, it is normal for Danzo to want to take other gods as his own.
Shisui has fallen into a serious crisis without knowing it.
On the surface, the mission given to Shisui by Uchiha Fugaku is to use other gods to deal with Hagoromo, but in fact he has another secret mission:
Monitor Uchiha Itachi.
At this time, no matter how slow Uchiha reacts, they should have realized that there is a serious leakage problem within the clan. Whatever they do, Konoha will respond accordingly. If they haven't realized the problem yet, then they It’s not the eyes that are cursed, but the IQ that is cursed.
And this suspicion focused on Itachi Uchiha... Itachi was a ninja from the ANBU.
But no matter what, the rebellion is already imminent.
"The Uchiha rebellion is already imminent. It's hard to imagine that ordinary measures can prevent the worst-case scenario from happening."
The Hokage's office, the Sandaime and Danzo are all here.
The person who said this was the third person present, Uchiha Shisui.
"It's not unexpected that it has reached this point. Then we have to start preparing tough measures," Danzo said.
"Wait a minute, Danzo!" The Third Hokage stopped Danzo from continuing.
"In this current situation, Shisui, according to the previous strategy, next..."
"Yes, Hokage-sama, I will use the other gods on Fugaku and let him consider ways to coexist with the village and take action... at the Uchiha gathering tonight." Shisui said.
This was a decision he made long ago.
"You are too naive. Can the dissatisfaction of the entire Uchiha be quelled by just changing Fugaku's will? Can the rebellion be stopped in this way?"
Danzo was very realistic when considering the issue. At this time, Fugaku's opinion was not important anymore. From Danzo's point of view, changing the clan leader's mind would not help. At most, it would delay the rebellion for a while. And this is not what Danzo wants to see. He solves all the hidden dangers in one fell swoop. From his point of view, it is better for Uchiha to be destroyed, so that it can truly be solved once and for all.
"Changes are mutual. As long as one party takes the first step, we are willing to continue in a positive way... Shisui, act according to your ideas, and I will have an ANBU support you."
At this time, the Hokage would not accommodate Danzo. The two had fundamental conflicts in their overall strategies. The Third Hokage insisted on his own ideas. He did not want to see bloodshed anyway.
He is the Hokage, and even if Danzo is dissatisfied now, he is not allowed to openly resist.
And the ANBU ninja that the Hokage said would provide support and cooperation with Shisui, if there was no mistake, must be Uchiha Itachi.
After further detailed discussions, Shisui left first. For him, tonight's Uchiha gathering was the top priority.
Then, Danzo also said goodbye, or it would be more appropriate to say he walked away in a hurry.
The Hokage should have been the only one here now, but at this moment Hagoromo walked out of the shadows... He was always there, but he didn't know where he was hiding before.
"Then Sandaime, I will take action next."
"Hagoromo, your mission is to ensure that Shisui is not interfered by anyone during the implementation of the operation. Do you understand? Don't do other unnecessary things." The Third Hokage warned.
"I see."
Did Hagoromo understand? He wished he really understood.
…………
Night was approaching, and the shadows were about to cover the last twilight. In front of a secluded shrine, Danzo had the last crucial conversation with Shisui, who was about to perform a key mission.
"What's the matter, Danzo-sama? The meeting is about to start. I need to use the pupil technique on the clan leader before he expresses his attitude at the beginning of the meeting." Shisui said.
He couldn't make Fugaku's attitude reverse 180 degrees at once. It wasn't that other gods couldn't do this, but it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the clan.
Everything needs to be subtle, which is very difficult.
"If your and the Sandaime's plan succeeds, Fugaku changes, Uchiha changes, but the attitude of the village does not change after that, what are you going to do?" Danzo asked.
His question hit home.
What Shisui hopes is that after changing Fugaku and Uchiha, Konoha will also gradually improve its attitude and treatment towards Uchiha. In essence, he still wants to do it for Uchiha... Shisui has never thought about destroying the clan. Too extreme.
"The Sandaime promised me that he would definitely do this."
"The attitude and people's hearts of the villagers cannot be changed just by the Third Hokage's words. It is more likely that nothing can be changed. So... what are you going to do then?"
"I……"
Before Shisui could answer, Danzo had already said, "You will use your pupil technique on all high-level officials in Konoha, including the Sandaime."
Danzo's attitude at this time has been very clear. He is afraid of other gods.
At the same time, I also long for other gods.
"Your genjutsu is too dangerous. Such a technique cannot be kept in the hands of Uchiha... I will accept these eyes."
Before he finished speaking, Danzo struck in shock at Uchiha Shisui in front of him!
In terms of strength, Danzo cannot be Shunshen Shisui's opponent, even if the latter does not use the ultimate eye power.
But in such a confrontation...the problem is that Shisui's attack was too soft, and he didn't anticipate enough of Danzo's response.
Shisui only released ordinary illusions on Danzo. At this moment, the opponent was indeed subdued by him instantly.
However, Shisui didn't know that Danzo also possessed a Sharingan.
Moreover, after undergoing the transformation of Wood Release, under the combined effect of the power of Senju and Sharingan, Danzo has been able to use one of the ultimate Sharingan Eye Techniques.
Izanagi...
This is a pupil technique that can erase one's disadvantageous situation in one fell swoop!
So Danzo broke away from Shisui's genjutsu and launched a surprise attack on the latter who was not prepared enough!
A Mangekyō Sharingan, like a USB3.0, was instantly picked off by Danzo.
The pain of being attacked and losing his eyes put Shisui in an extremely unfavorable state, but what was even worse was that the root ninjas who were ambushing him quickly rushed out and surrounded him.
Is it painful to lose your right eye? But what was most painful for Shisui at this moment was that everything he had originally planned had come to nothing.
But he couldn't die here, he still had the last hope, so after releasing a huge fire ball, Shisui quickly escaped using the teleportation technique for which he was famous.
"Chase!"
Danzo gave such simple orders to his men.
After receiving the order, all the roots immediately started chasing Shisui.
Danzo was the only one left here, but before he could appreciate his new eyes, another person's voice rang out.
"Speaking of which, this is the Uzumaki clan's shrine..."
"Besides, my girl's sixth birthday is coming soon. It's painful to find a suitable gift. God knows what little girls of that age like?"
"So...can you hand over what you have to me, Danzo-sama?"
(Note 1: Shisui died when Itachi was 11 years old. The rebellion happened two years later, so it has been condensed here.
Note 2: In the TV original, Shisui himself told Danzo the information about other gods. Before that, it seemed that only the third generation knew this technique, and then Shisui's eyes were taken away overnight. Danzo... what a scary old man, he doesn't even stay overnight to steal things. )
