Under the cover of night, Leaf Village exuded an air of peace.
In the Seventh Division Office of the Police Force, moonlight streamed in, casting a disheveled room into a soft glow, where three figures stood.
"The intelligence was fake? A diversionary tactic by the enemy country? Then why!"
At this moment, Kakashi was deeply consumed by self-blame. The two tomoe in Uchiha Yoru's eyes, radiating a sharp and lethal aura, kept echoing in his mind. He knew that if he dared to leak this information, the other party would likely kill him.
"If this is true!"
Kakashi suddenly thought of a possibility, and his eyes instantly filled with fear and tension.
The Third Hokage, as described by Danzo, was a terrifying conspirator. However, the information he just received suggested that Danzo was also a ruthless individual. In contrast, the Uchiha Clan, despite being heavily oppressed, bore the responsibility of protecting Konoha.
"Protecting Konoha, is this the duty of the Police Force?" Kakashi muttered to himself, recalling the declaration he made when he first joined the Police Force. The Police Force was filled with a resolve to protect Konoha and the village, which seemed to be the very reason for its existence.
"This is the true Uchiha Clan!"
Kakashi's face twisted into a bitter smile. The Uchiha Clan's protection of Konoha seemed somewhat ironic, but it was something he had personally experienced.
Pride, strong self-esteem, arrogance, and haughtiness—these were the traits of the Uchiha Clan. But beneath these traits, he sensed a hidden face.
The Third Hokage was a conspirator, Danzo was a ruthless individual, and the Uchiha Clan was somehow involved in the Nine-Tails Incident. At this moment, Kakashi's mind was in chaos, and he felt a deep sense of unfamiliarity.
Konoha! This peaceful and warm village, seemed not as good as he had imagined. Beneath its surface lay endless darkness.
"The Nine-Tails was controlled by the Sharingan, and Root secretly collected Sharingans! Could it be!" Suddenly, a possibility struck him, and his eyes were filled with deep fear, as if he were suffocating.
Touching the Sharingan in his left eye, Kakashi's heart was filled with fear. "The Nine-Tails was controlled by the Sharingan, but the Sharingan is not exclusive to the Uchiha Clan. So, what if!"
If Root and Danzo had indeed collected Sharingans, then the Nine-Tails Incident would have another suspicious lead. And since Root was part of the Hokage's system, did the Third Hokage know about this? What role did he play in all of this?
Kakashi's expression was complex as he looked at his classmate. He didn't even notice the numbing sensation from the lightning chakra in his body gradually fading away. Similarly, Uchiha Shisui was also unable to remain calm.
At this moment, Shisui's three-tomoe Sharingan was spinning wildly, but it eventually stopped. In the Police Force office, bathed in moonlight, Uchiha Yoru sat calmly on a chair.
"Big Brother Yoru!"
Shisui wanted to say something but didn't know how to start. Uchiha Yoru looked calmly at the two of them, seated on the chair, and said calmly, "Let's pretend nothing happened tonight. Forget about tonight. Shisui, you are still my clansman, and Kakashi, I still consider you a comrade. Even on the battlefield, I would still trust you with my back."
Uchiha Yoru slowly closed his eyes and sat on the office chair, seemingly enjoying the moonlight. However, to the two of them, he appeared to be the one who bore everything and moved forward.
The intelligence they had just received, with the strong insight and replication abilities of the three-tomoe Sharingan, was deeply etched in their minds.
At this moment, Uchiha Yoru secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had waited for three days, and the fish had finally taken the bait. He had initially intended to lure Kakashi, but unexpectedly, Shisui was also a bonus.
The intelligence he had deliberately hidden in the office was simple: information about Uchiha Clan members who had died unexpectedly or seemingly destroyed their own eyes before dying during the Third Shinobi World War.
Various clues suggested that the village's Anbu or Root was secretly plotting to collect Sharingans. So far, six pairs of three-tomoe Sharingans were reported missing.
All of this was true, but whether it was Root or the Anbu, the evidence he added was also true.
To deceive someone, no! To bring Kakashi into his team, the most important thing was to never fake anything, because the fake would eventually be exposed.
When did Danzo start transplanting Sharingans? This was not clearly marked, but from the information in the anime, it can be inferred that Danzo had already transplanted Sharingans before the Uchiha Clan's destruction.
First, when Kakashi was in the Anbu, Danzo ordered Nara Shikaku to retrieve Kakashi's Sharingan. Second, Danzo used the forbidden technique Izanagi to take Shisui's right eye.
From this, it can be deduced that Danzo had already obtained the power of the Sharingan before the Uchiha Clan's destruction. After all, the transplanted and cultivated arm was the work of Orochimaru. Shortly after the clan's destruction, Itachi joined Akatsuki, and after Orochimaru's defeat, he became obsessed with the Sharingan. At that time, Orochimaru would not have been so kind as to help Danzo.
Therefore, it can be inferred that Danzo's arm, with the Sharingan transplants, was created before Orochimaru's betrayal.
"Yoru!" Kakashi, clutching the wound on his shoulder, looked at his old classmate with a complex expression. In this atmosphere, he silently left the office using the Body Flicker Technique, a black dot disappearing into the night.
When only the two of them were left in the office, Shisui's face turned serious as he said solemnly, "Big Brother Yoru, my surname is Uchiha! I am a member of the Uchiha Clan, and I have the right to know everything!"
As he spoke, Shisui's expression was filled with shame, as if all the darkness was borne by Big Brother Yoru, while he, despite his strength, knew nothing.
"Big Brother Yoru! Please! I am also a member of the Uchiha Clan!"
In the end, Shisui knelt in a very formal seiza posture, bowing his head. He would not rise until he heard the answer he wanted.
Seeing Shisui's determination, the calm facade on Uchiha Yoru's face slowly faded, and a weary sigh echoed in the dimly lit office.
"Shisui, you must remember, the honor of the Uchiha name. Konoha was founded by the Uchiha and Senju Clans. Now that the Senju Clan is no longer, the Uchiha Clan must shoulder the responsibility of protecting Konoha."
At this moment, Uchiha Yoru's face was filled with resolve, as if he were telling Shisui that his thinking was too narrow. How could he only think about the clan?
Shisui's heart was suddenly jolted, and he silently blamed himself. Yes, when did his thinking become so narrow? He only thought about being part of the Uchiha Clan and forgot about the village.
Changing someone's beliefs is never easy, and Uchiha Yoru never intended to destroy anyone's beliefs. Instead, he aimed to replace their vague beliefs with his own.
At this moment, Shisui didn't even realize that his beliefs were gradually becoming clearer. In his heart, the resolve to protect Konoha with the Uchiha Clan grew stronger, and he unconsciously began to see Konoha as a creation of the Uchiha Clan.
The village belongs to the Uchiha!
