Escape From Konoha

Hokage Building.

When Shisui came here, it was completely dark.

Dark shadows enveloped the building, and Shisui walked into the building without any hesitation.

Before entering the Hokage's office, an ANBU ninja landed in front of Shisui and blocked his way.

Shisui looked at the ANBU ninja and said, "Sorry, I have important things to discuss with the Hokage now."

Anbu replied: "Hokage-sama is not here. He has gone back to rest after get off work. You can come back tomorrow."

The tone was full of toughness.

He doesn't have much bad feelings toward the Uchiha clan, but he doesn't have much good feelings either. He just fulfills his duties as an ANBU ninja according to regulations.

Shisui gritted his teeth and looked at the door of the office. He knew that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was on the other side of the door and had not left at all.

The reason for doing this is probably to exclude him.

This means that the Third Hokage already knows the contents of the Uchiha internal meeting not long ago.

Shisui sighed, as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and returned along the original path.

After watching Shisui leave, Anbu disappeared from the corridor as if he had never appeared before.

When Shisui walked to the main entrance of the Hokage Building, he immediately saw three figures, and his body suddenly froze.

The three people who appeared in Shisui's field of vision were Koharu, the advisor, Mito Kadenen, and Danzo Shimura, the leader of the root group.

Behind them were two ANBU members.

Seeing Shisui appearing here, Danzo and the other three were slightly surprised.

"A descendant of Kagami? Your name is Shisui, right?"

Danzo was the first to speak, his eyes gleaming as if he was lost in memories.

Shisui nodded and said respectfully: "Yes, Elder Danzo."

"Well, you are very good. Your reputation as Shunshen Shisui is well known even to me. You are worthy of being a descendant of Jing, and you have not disgraced Jing."

After saying this, Danzo passed by Shisui.

After moving to bed, Koharu and Mito Menyan also nodded to Shisui with satisfaction, expressing their approval for Shisui.

Among the Uchiha clan, only Shisui was different.

Uchiha Kagami was a comrade who lived and died with them in the past. As a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, he naturally cannot be equated with ordinary Uchiha clan members.

Shisui was not in a good mood to stay here. After seeing the three Danzos appearing here, he knew that the matter was completely irreversible.

It is impossible for the three senior elders to suddenly visit the Hokage at such a time. There is only one reason why they came here at the same time - that is, the Third Hokage summoned them here.

As for the content of the meeting, Shisui could also guess that it must be for the gathering of the Uchiha clan.

Itachi, you messed up. Zhishui smiled bitterly in his heart.

It was his mistake not to stop Itachi in time.

At the rally, Uchiha Yashiro had a verbal conflict with Itachi, and he realized that it would not take seconds.

But Itachi's decisiveness completely exceeded his expectations.

"What's next?"

Shisui kept thinking about this problem.

If something happens, regretting will not help, then you must take action to solve the problem.

Boiling a frog in warm water is no longer appropriate.

Itachi's actions completely broke the delicate balance between the clan and the village.

Whether the family is harmed or the village suffers a devastating disaster, involving countless innocent civilians and triggering a war in the shinobi world, Shisui is not willing to see it.

In this complicated state of mind, Shisui quickly became irritable.

Even though his parents gave him this name, they hoped that no matter what he faced, he would remain calm and never lose his cool.

But when faced with the choice between his family and the village, he simply could not achieve this level of calmness.

Finally, he made a decision.

In this irritable state of mind, the suffering caused the Sharingan in his eyes to appear.

In the darkness, the Sharingan released red light, and the three magatama slowly merged to form a pattern that looked like a giant magatama.

Mangekyō Sharingan.

The supreme pupil technique of the Uchiha clan.

A stinging feeling flooded into his eyes.

Shisui couldn't help but cover his eyes, and hot things flowed into them, making his brain extremely heavy.

"Really, I didn't expect that in the end, I would need to rely on this kind of power to save the situation..."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Shisui's lips.

Precisely because I got these eyes, I understood how incompetent and fragile I was in the past and present.

If possible, I really don't want to use this power.

"Hiruzhan, what do you mean by asking us to come here at this time?"

In the Hokage's office, Danzo and the other three had arrived. Faced with the summons of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Koharu went to bed and asked the first question.

I don't know why Hiruzen sent ANBU to look for them at this time.

Hiruzen sat there and took a puff from the pipe on the table. After exhaling the smoke, he said to the air around him: "Itachi, come out and tell me what you know."

After Hiruzen finished speaking, Itachi, wearing ANBU clothing, quietly walked out of the shadows.

Because of the mask on his face, outsiders couldn't see clearly what Itachi's facial expression was at this moment.

"Uchiha Itachi?"

Mito Kadoyan nodded secretly.

Like Shunshen Shisui, Itachi is also a rare genius in the Uchiha clan.

He is also the first Uchiha ninja to join the ANBU in the history of Konoha.

Although his joining caused quite a stir two or three years ago, under their suppression, this oppositional voice disappeared.

And Itachi also lived up to their expectations. In just two or three years, he completed the mission with 100% efficiency and was promoted from an ordinary ANBU to an ANBU squad leader.

A year ago, he was specially promoted to ANBU captain, managing four ANBU classes.

For a thirteen-year-old boy, this is already a huge expectation and importance.

What's more, being from the Uchiha clan is even more rare.

He is a ninja with the will of fire who can think outside the family and completely dedicate everything to the village. This is the model student of Konoha ninja.

Danzo also glanced at Itachi, then closed his eyes and sat there without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

"So, what happened to the Uchiha?"

Xiaochun asked when he went to bed.

Itachi bowed slightly to Koharu and the others who were sleeping, and then answered: "Yes, the Uchiha clan held a secret meeting tonight. The content of the meeting is..."

The conflict between himself and Uchiha Yashiro was concealed, and the rest was completely narrated by Itachi.

The Yatsura of Uchiha is the radical thought of the first clan member and attempts to establish a political collective that belongs exclusively to the Uchiha clan in the village.

His father Fugaku acquiesced in this behavior and did not stop it.

After hearing Itachi's brief and direct narration, the expressions of Koharu and Mito Kadeni changed as they moved to bed.

They knew that the Uchiha clan had been unstable since the Nine-Tails Incident, but they didn't expect that it would actually reach this point.

"If I remember correctly, a few years ago, Danzo predicted that the Uchiha clan would stage a coup and rebel. He hoped that the Anbu would take action..."

Mito Kadoyan turned his head and glanced at Danzo sitting next to him, and said softly.

"I just made this reasonable guess based on the information I have. Ever since the fourth generation of Minato sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails, the radical faction of the Uchiha clan has coveted the position of Hokage. In addition, Kiri The Yindai Mizukage Shikura came to power through a coup, which also gave them the illusion that they could rely on the coup to seize power... This is the source of the disaster."

Danzo said these words very calmly, causing several people in the room to think deeply.

"It's a bit too absolute to say that. The coup cannot be realized overnight. Moreover, it is only possible, and the Uchiha clan has not yet taken action."

The Third Hokage said there.

"By the time they take action, it's too late."

Danzo and Hiruzen were facing each other tit for tat, their eyes unyielding.

"I think we can still negotiate with the Uchiha clan. There is no need to go to war with each other."

"What if they actually stage a coup?"

"As Hokage, I will take full responsibility!"

Hiruzen said firmly.

"snort!"

Danzo snorted, thinking that Hiruzen was just saying nice things.

"Okay, you two, stop arguing. At present, it seems that the Uchiha clan does not necessarily want a real coup, maybe it is just a talk, and you can't be too sensitive."

After turning to bed, Koharu looked at Hiruzen and Danzo who were targeting each other and shook his head slightly.

"That's right, we still have to wait and see what happens next. Itachi, please continue to gather information about the Uchiha clan and report to us in time. The future of the village and the clan is up to you."

Mito Kadoyan looked at Itachi and said seriously.

"Yes. Then, I will retreat first."

Itachi nodded, disappeared from the office in a flash, leaving space for Hiruzen, Danzo and others to continue discussing the Uchiha clan's affairs.

◎

Nanga Shrine.

After Itachi left the Hokage's office, he did not return directly to his home or ANBU, but returned to Nanga Shrine alone.

Entering the shrine, turning the mechanism, a secret passage leading underground appeared, and Itachi walked down this secret passage.

Here, he saw the ancient stone tablet with a long history of the Uchiha clan.

But unlike in the past, a mysterious man appeared in the secret room, which was usually empty. He stood in front of the Uchiha stone tablet, looking down at the stone tablet, seeming to be very absorbed in it.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Itachi did not hide his tracks and came to this mysterious man.

The other party wears an orange spiral mask and a black red cloud coat, and his image is extremely mysterious.

"Itachi Uchiha."

The mysterious man called out Itachi's name and turned slightly. In the small hole on the left side of the mask, the scarlet three magatama Sharingan appeared, making Itachi's body tremble.

"it's me."

Itachi managed to calm down.

"We haven't seen each other for four or five years. It's been a long time."

The mysterious man spoke to Itachi in a familiar tone.

There was a hint of hatred in Itachi's eyes, but he suppressed it immediately.

Indeed, he and this mysterious man had not seen each other for four or five years.

This was the man who killed Izumo Denma and forced him to activate his Sharingan for the first time when he was still in Team Minazuki Yuzuki.

Although the image has changed, he will not feel wrong about the cold Sharingan.

This person is very dangerous.

"Did you instigate Yashiro and the others behind their backs?"

Itachi asked.

"Oh? Why do you think so?"

The man chuckled and asked with interest.

"If they had the courage, they would not suddenly propose a coup at this time, but would act earlier. And..."

When Itachi said this, his voice became softer.

"And what?"

"You have always been paying attention to my growth, and you even forced me to open the Sharingan. At that time, you must have deliberately killed Denma in front of me. Master Minazuki is a good jounin, but if you want to kill him , you can do it with one move. And after you killed Chuanma, you left directly..."

Itachi tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, but sadly, he couldn't do anything.

Izumo Denma can be said to be one of his few friends.

Although the relationship was not good at the time, they were still comrades fighting side by side.

And because this man wanted to open his eyes, Chuanma was tortured and killed in front of him.

That scene still lingers in my mind and has become an indelible shadow.

"Amazing. Indeed, I left these messages just to make you aware of my existence."

The man clapped his hands and praised.

"Then who are you?"

Itachi raised his head and looked at the man without fear.

After laughing twice, the man turned around and continued to look at the Uchiha Stone Tablet, sighing softly, full of vicissitudes of life.

"You can guess this kind of thing just by using your toes. Besides, you are a genius like you."

"..."

Itachi was silent for a moment.

Indeed, you should know this kind of thing without thinking so.

Possessing the Sharingan, he ignored the barrier of Konoha and sneaked into the Konoha Village. He could move around the Uchiha clan without any hindrance. He even knew the situation of this secret room...

And the Uchiha male who was completely forgotten by Konoha.

There is only one person I can think of - Uchiha Madara.

"You, who should have been dead long ago, are now behind the scenes instigating Yashiro's coup. What is your purpose?"

Itachi asked.

"Haha, you are actually wrong about this. I did not incite them."

Madara smiled.

"What?"

"Whether you believe it or not, I have never had any contact with Yashiro Uchiha and the others. It's just that the village has accumulated too many conflicts with them, and they happened to erupt at this time. There is only one reason why I come here from beginning to end, and that is To get your power.”

"my power?"

Itachi was a little surprised.

But then he calmed down, and he had no way of judging whether Madara's words were true or false, and he couldn't let the other party lead him.

"Yes. For me, as long as I get your power, the current situation of the Uchiha clan has nothing to do with me."

"I've let you down. I won't betray Konoha like you."

Itachi said firmly, looking at Madara with eyes filled with hostility.

"That's impossible to say. For a ninja like you whose life is full of thorns, Konoha has no soil suitable for your survival. You will definitely come to my side."

Madara smiled meaningfully, turned around and walked away, his breath disappearing in the secret room.

Itachi saw where Madara disappeared and took a deep breath.

Uchiha, Konoha, Madara... things are getting more and more complicated.

What should I do?

◎

"The plan is going well, Hobby."

On Konoha's Shadow Rock, Madara, wearing a black-and-red cloud coat, stood on the Shadow Rock of the First Hokage, blowing the evening breeze. Next to him, a mixture of White Zetsu and Black Zetsu emerged from the rock. White Zetsu said with suppressed laughter. .

No longer the low and hoarse voice he had at Nanga Shrine just now, Bai Zetsu, who called himself Madara and whose real name was Abi, let out a long sigh of relief.

"Oh, I'm so exhausted from playing Madara-sama. These god-like chatter lines you designed really make me want to complain. Just now I almost couldn't help but ask him what it feels like to defecate."

Black Zetsu and White Zetsu felt ashamed. If they had asked such a question in front of Itachi just now, the scene... would be really bad.

"In any case, Uchiha Itachi has been left with enough fear and jealousy. This fear and jealousy will make him continue to follow our steps. Danzo will also cooperate with us."

Heijue said.

"Is Danzo really willing?"

A Fei couldn't help but ask.

Black Zetsu answered affirmatively: "It will definitely happen, not only Danzo, but also the Third Hokage."

"Eh?"

Bai Jue and A Fei were both surprised by Hei Jue's statement.

Forget Danzo, why would the Third Hokage join in? Isn't the other party a neutral?

Black Zetsu sneered: "If the top management of Konoha really planned to negotiate peace with the Uchiha clan, in the past two or three years, Itachi joined the ANBU, and the Third Hokage had many opportunities to contact and negotiate with the Uchiha clan. But this did not happen. The third generation Hiruzen refused to negotiate with the Uchiha clan on conflicting issues and was just patiently waiting for the Uchiha coup to happen."

"impossible?"

"The ninjutsu doctor who has failed to keep up with the times and is aging will also be unable to do things due to aging. He no longer has the time or enough confidence to balance the contradiction between the Uchiha clan and the village. Since he cannot balance The contradiction in this, then, there is only one way left to solve this contradiction... It is enough to engrav the name Uchiha coldly on history and become a remnant of history. I can't control it. will be destroyed, this is the reality.”

There was a trace of coldness in Hei Jue's eyes.

A Fei couldn't help but swallowed, being frightened by Hei Jue's statement.

"People's will will gradually decline as the body ages. There are too few people like Madara-sama in the ninja world. Konoha is obviously going downhill. After things here are over, things can be settled. The focus has shifted to other people. Don’t forget who killed Madara-sama. The enemy we should be wary of most is not Konoha.”

Hei Jue's eyes were faint, especially bright in the darkness.

◎

The next day.

Shisui once again came to the Hokage Building and met the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This time the ANBU did not stop him like last night, but let him enter the office directly to meet the Hokage.

After Shisui entered, he found that the atmosphere in the office began to disappear. All the Anbu had withdrawn, and only he and the Third Hokage were left here.

After a brief silence, Shisui suddenly didn't know how to speak.

However, in this wordless silence, Hiruzen was the first to break the awkwardness.

"Shisui, are you here because of the Uchiha clan gathering last night?"

Hearing that Hiruzen had asked the question, Shisui knew that it was impossible to hide it, and he breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Yes."

Hiruzen sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his smile: "You are still so conservative. If it weren't for Itachi, maybe we wouldn't know anything about what's going on there."

Shisui felt a little ashamed. As a hidden ANBU of Konoha, he should report the contents of the Uchiha clan's meeting here as soon as possible to prove his loyalty to the village.

However, if that kind of content is exposed, the clan and the village will be plunged into irreversible danger if they are not careful.

Before finding a solution, Shisui didn't think it was something that could be revealed easily.

"Sorry, Hokage-sama, I..."

"Don't blame yourself so much. Neither of us expected that things would come to this point. I also understand your mood at the moment. You are a descendant of Jing, so you don't need to be restrained by me. No matter what, I always believe that you are right. Village loyalty.”

Hiruzen's attitude was always gentle, with a sense of intimacy.

"Yes. It was my lack of consideration, Hokage-sama."

Hearing Hiruzen say this, Shisui felt even more guilty.

"According to Itachi's report, we have already discussed the matter of the Uchiha clan gathering. Although Danzo seems to advocate the use of force to suppress it, I think the situation is not that extreme. There is still room for relaxation between the village and the Uchiha. Time. It is not appropriate to continue to stimulate the Uchiha radicals at this time."

Hiruzen's words made Shisui relax.

At least from the current point of view, Hiruzen, as the Hokage, still hopes to value peace.

If the Hokage resolutely adopted a policy of forceful suppression against the Uchiha clan, that would be the worst thing.

"However, all this is based on the fact that the Uchiha clan has not yet carried out a coup, and there is still room for relaxation. Once the coup begins, it cannot be resolved through negotiation. I hope you can understand this, Shisui."

"I understand this, Hokage-sama."

"That's good. I hope you and Itachi will continue to buy time for me, giving me enough time to think of countermeasures. There is no need to worry about Danzo, I will suppress him and won't let him do anything random. .So, next..."

When Hiruzen was about to express his thoughts, Shisui hesitated for a moment, then as if he finally made up his mind, he immediately interrupted and said:

"Hokage-sama, I have a better way to solve this matter."

"Um?"

Shisui's words directly caught Hiruzen's attention, and he wanted to know what solutions Shisui had.

If it is feasible, it can prevent the village and the Uchiha clan from fighting each other.

Zhisui took a deep breath and spoke the secret that had been hidden for a long time in a calm tone:

"Hokage-sama, do you know our Uchiha clan's legend about the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"Mangekyo Sharingan?"

Hiruzen's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Shisui with shocked eyes.

Mangekyou Sharingan, he naturally knows this kind of eye.

His teacher, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, is the person who has studied the Sharingan most thoroughly.

Among the large amounts of documents he left behind, many contain secrets about the Sharingan.

Among them is part of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Shisui suddenly mentioned this kind of thing at this time, and Hiruzen had a bold idea in his mind.

"Zhisui, are you..."

Shisui raised his head and met Hiruzen's eyes.

The three magatama in the eyes began to change, forming a giant magatama-like pattern, breaking away from the basis of conventional magatama.

A feeling of palpitations rose from the bottom of Hiruzen's heart, and he tried his best to suppress the surprise in his heart.

At this moment, Hiruzen had an intuition that Shisui could threaten his life.

"Lord Hokage, this is my Mangekyou Sharingan, and it is also the source of my confidence to prevent the family coup."

Shisui's words were full of confidence.

"It's impossible, even if it's the Mangekyō Sharingan..."

"I can do it, Hokage-sama. My Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique is called Betsutenjin. It can erode the opponent's brain and modify the will without being noticed by anyone. As long as I use this eye technique, I can control The Fugaku clan chief told him to oppose the coup. No matter how hard Yashiro and the others tried, it would be useless because they could not go beyond the clan chief’s authority to launch a coup.”

Shisui's firm voice sounded in the office, which also represented his determination.

In Shisui's view, Hiruzen's method was too slow and not suitable for the current situation.

It is possible that while they were thinking about countermeasures, the Uchiha clan suddenly launched a coup.

This is what Zhishui is most worried about.

Therefore, Shisui did not avoid Hiruzen's sight and stood firm in his stance and responsibilities:

"Let the Uchiha clan's affairs be resolved by the ninjas of the Uchiha clan. Please rest assured, Hokage-sama, I will handle this matter properly."

In this way, the Uchiha clan, which was feared by the senior officials, ceased to exist.

After that, he had enough time to cooperate with the Third Hokage's actions to ease the relationship between the village and the clan.

As for Itachi... Zhishui sighed inwardly.

His original intention was that after Itachi joined the ANBU, as the young master of the Uchiha clan, he could establish a bridge of communication with the village's senior officials and the Uchiha clan.

However, judging from the current situation, Itachi has not done this task well.

On the contrary, because of his existence, the conflict between the family and the village further broke out, forcing him to reveal his Mangekyō Sharingan at this moment.

(PS: All I can say is, try to improve the BUG part in the original work. The behavior of the Third Hokage in the Uchiha Genocide Chapter is really weird. Compared with the Third Hokage in the main film, his image is completely different. On the other hand, He said that he wanted to negotiate with the Uchiha clan, but since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he has not taken any actual action. Instead, he acquiesced in Danzo's oppressive behavior of the Uchiha clan and drove the Uchiha clan into a corner. Even if he knew about the Uchiha clan, If you want a coup, you always say "let me think about it" without taking any actual actions. You ignore the problem and only start to deal with it half-heartedly when it goes to the extreme. In my opinion, this is really not what a qualified leader should do. Things that come out. Hesitation is a kind of cruelty.)
