"How long are you back this time?" Shinji looked at Shisui.
"About a month or so. It just happens Itachi is in my squad in ANBU. Can let the other teammates familiarize themselves with each other. Starting next month, we'll have regular missions," Shisui looked at Itachi. It was currently wartime; ANBU had quite a few missions.
"No problem. I can handle the work in ANBU," Itachi Uchiha said, somewhat excited. For him, being in ANBU with Shisui was the most suitable thing. After all, he still had many things needing guidance. Shisui being his superior was presumably a pretty good decision.
"That's good. In the future, our Konoha and the Uchiha clan will both get better and better," Shisui smiled gently. These were the most suitable times. He himself was in ANBU, and Itachi Uchiha, whom he regarded most highly, was also in ANBU. This was presumably the best way things could proceed.
"Damn it! I want to join ANBU too! I want to team up with Itachi!" Suddenly, Deidara jumped out somewhat unhappily. He had agreed with Itachi Uchiha before that as soon as Itachi graduated, they would immediately form a ninja team and go out on missions. For this opportunity, he had been training day and night with Itachi Uchiha.
"Deidara, you can't enter ANBU," Shisui suddenly said with a smile.
"Why? I'm clearly stronger than Itachi!" Deidara said somewhat unconvinced. On what grounds? Wasn't this bullying an honest person?
"Because you're not a Konoha native with a clean background, Deidara. You were brought over by me from Iwagakure. In an organization like ANBU, it's impossible for you to enter," Shisui sighed, only able to continue explaining this matter to Deidara. Because it wasn't some objective reason, but this political background check, you couldn't pass.
"Hmph!" Deidara snorted somewhat dejectedly, then turned his back, refusing to look at them.
"Deidara, how about this? ANBU ninjas sometimes, to hide their identity, will have a ninja team identity on the surface. Itachi, you guys usually form this team. Anyway, you wouldn't be thinking of constantly taking missions, right?" Shinji interrupted their conversation. This matter was simple if put simply. With Deidara's personality, he definitely wouldn't keep doing various tasks all the time. And ANBU ninjas, if they had no missions on weekdays, would also form teams with other ninjas to do missions for money.
"This seems pretty good," Hearing this, Deidara's eyes lit up again. What he wanted wasn't some mission, but just to be together with Itachi Uchiha. Uh... sounds somewhat off...
"This way should be fine, right?" Shinji looked at Shisui.
"This way indeed doesn't violate ANBU's management regulations," Shisui said after a light chuckle.
"Alright then. You guys go chat. Shisui, I have something to talk to you about," Seeing Deidara had already started chatting with Itachi Uchiha about future team matters, Shinji directly asked Shisui to follow him up to the study.
In the study, a table. Shinji sat in the main seat, while Shisui was opposite.
"What's wrong, Boss Shinji?" As soon as he sat down, Shisui was quite relaxed, speaking directly to Shinji. It had been some time since he last came, but here with Shinji, he didn't feel estranged at all.
"How have things been on the border battlefield recently?" Shinji didn't get straight to the point, but asked slowly.
"Alright. Nothing major happened. Just doing some simple tasks normally every day," Shisui picked up a book on the desk and flipped through it casually.
"Really?" Shinji looked somewhat disbelievingly at Shisui.
"Okay, still somewhat dangerous. Look at these," Shisui pulled open his shirt. There were still some crisscrossing scars on his body.
"Really is dangerous," Shinji said with some emotion. Remember, Shisui's current strength was no worse than an average Kage-level. Especially after activating the Mangekyō Sharingan, no one knew what level his strength would rise to.
Looking at the somewhat unfocused gaze in Shisui's eyes, Shinji knew it was time to give that thing to Shisui.
"Actually, it's alright. I can handle it all," Shisui seemed to answer nonchalantly, but subconsciously reached up to cover his eyes after seeing Shinji's gaze.
"Is that so... By the way, how have you been using your Mangekyō Sharingan?" Shinji keenly noticed Shisui's action. Looks like he had used his Mangekyō Sharingan quite often. And he had given him a bottle of 'Zhen Shi Ming' eyedrops before; looks like it was already used up long ago.
"Alright, I guess. Just that my vision feels a bit blurry recently," Shisui saw he couldn't hide it from Shinji, so he didn't hide anymore, admitting it openly.
"Sigh, when you finished those eyedrops, just send someone back with a letter, and I'd send some more up to you. Why wait until now..." Shinji said somewhat helplessly. Shisui was good at everything, just liked shouldering everything himself.
"Hehe, mainly busy. Where's the time to write letters? Besides, didn't I come over now?" Shisui chuckled hehe. Only before Shinji did he seem like a youth.
"Sigh. But I have something here just right for you. But you have to listen to me. Cannot go for revenge for now. You are not his match right now," Shinji's expression suddenly became serious.
"What revenge?" Shisui said, somewhat confused. He didn't quite understand Shinji's words.
"Anyway, this matter concerns you, and also concerns your father. What I want to give you is this," Shinji didn't answer Shisui's words, but took out a pair of eyes from the system space. Yes, a pair. Shinji, through previous point accumulation, successfully used the Hero Copier to replicate one of Kagami Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan, just enough to make a pair. After all, the atmosphere had already been dragged here; just giving one felt somewhat strange. So, Shinji simply completed the set directly.
"These are... eyes?" Shisui bent down somewhat puzzledly, looking at the pair of eyes in Shinji's hand. Without chakra activation, the Mangekyō Sharingan at this time also just had the appearance of white sclera and black pupils. But Shisui looked at this pair of eyes, always feeling a sense of familiarity in his heart.
"Yes. These are the eyes of your Uchiha clan. Also a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan," Shinji stated directly, believing this information would shock Shisui.
"Mangekyō Sharingan?!" Shisui's reaction was indeed as Shinji expected. Mangekyō Sharingan were already rare; now a pair actually appeared before him.
"Yes. And these are... Kagami Uchiha's... meaning your father's Mangekyō Sharingan!"
Crack! Just as the words fell, the sky outside, which was clear just moments ago, suddenly flashed with streaks of lightning. The sky rapidly darkened.
"Why the sudden thunder?" In the All-Purpose Shop, Itachi Uchiha was originally playing with Sasuke Uchiha, just happened to see this chaotic scene of heaven and earth. Dark oppressive clouds, fierce winds, and lightning like world destruction, all seemed to indicate something different.
"Waaah waaah!!!" Just then, perhaps frightened by the sound of thunder, Sasuke Uchiha in Itachi Uchiha's arms suddenly began crying loudly. Instantly, an inexplicable oppressive feeling appeared in the hearts of everyone in Konoha village. It seemed some ferocious giant beast was awakening.
...
Three places in the ninja world: Mount Myōboku, Shikkotsu Forest, Ryūchi Cave. Great Toad Sage, Slug Sage, White Snake Sage all opened their eyes simultaneously.
"An era of chaos is approaching. There seems to be some deviation in the events I prophesied," Great Toad Sage on Mount Myōboku frowned, a trace of worry in his senile face.
"Strange scenes. Don't know when things changed," Slug Sage in Shikkotsu Forest coiled on the ground, its body size making its head invisible.
"The spiritual energy between heaven and earth seems to have changed. This world seems increasingly incomprehensible," White Snake Sage in Ryūchi Cave opened its eyes, the pupils seeming to have a hint of dragon transformation. Instantly, the three longest-lived beings in this world spoke their words. But they seemed unable to see even the little bit of future they could originally glimpse. Everything seemed to have changed, but they couldn't say what exactly was different.
...
...
"Whose eyes are these!?" In the study of the All-Purpose Shop, Shisui stood somewhat incredulously, looking at the pair of eyes placed in the culture dish in his hand. No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing this pair of eyes just now. Turns out these were actually his father, Kagami Uchiha's eyes?
"It's your father, Fugaku Uchiha. You shouldn't be unfamiliar with this name, right?" Shinji smiled faintly. He knew how shocking this news was for Shisui.
"Why... are my father's eyes here with you?" Shisui looked at the eyes in his hand, feeling mixed emotions for some reason.
"I retrieved these for you. Also intended for you to use," Shinji's fingers tapped continuously on the desk. This rhythm made Shisui feel lost in a fog.
"Retrieved from whom?" Shisui didn't respond to Shinji's words, but asked tremblingly. This was what Shisui cared about more. Why were his father's eyes in someone else's hands? Shisui still remembered, when his father died, he was only 2 years old, but still had some corresponding memories. He watched his father's body being buried. And at that time, clearly his father's eyes still had eyeballs. But why? Could it be someone pried open his father's grave and took these eyes away? Desecrating ancestral graves, an irreconcilable feud. Thinking of this, the aura on Shisui's body was almost uncontrollable. An oppressive aura continuously emerged from him.
"If I were to guess, when your father Kagami Uchiha was buried, his eyes actually weren't his original eyes anymore."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, back then, Kagami Uchiha's eyes had already been taken away by someone. And the eyes on the corpse were just ordinary eyes taken from who knows where," Shinji looked at Shisui, already on the verge of eruption, yet his words didn't stop.
"Hahahaha! So who exactly was it?" Shisui looked at Shinji, his eyes unknowingly turning into the pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan. And following his actions, streaks of blood tears flowed down from his eyes.
"Konoha's Darkness, Hokage Aide, Root Commander! Shimura... Danzō!" Shinji didn't hide anything else, directly revealing the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Shi! Mura! Dan! Zō!!!" Shisui grit his teeth tightly, his heart completely filled with anger. What he wanted now was to cut this culprit, the person who dug out his father's eyes, into a thousand pieces! Forcefully keeping his Mangekyō Sharingan open, Shisui intended to go out and finish this street punk. But.
"Sigh, I knew this would be the result..." Shinji sighed, then flashed before Shisui.
"Boss Shinji, get out of the way!" Shisui still had some rationality left, didn't attack directly upon seeing someone appear before him.
"You rush over to Root now, and then what?" Shinji ignored Shisui's words, just looking at him expressionlessly.
"Then I'll kill him!" Shisui said fiercely, hatred almost consuming his entire being.
"And then? You go over like this, afraid you'll be killed by that group of Root ninjas before even reaching his Root office?" Shinji didn't follow his words, but directly talked about the subsequent arrangements. Yes, you possess the Mangekyō Sharingan now, and your strength is not to be underestimated. But let alone Danzō's true strength and trump cards, just those Root ninjas who always regarded Danzō as supreme wouldn't let him see Danzō so easily.
You are strong now, but the current you probably isn't a match for the Third Raikage back then. Back then, even someone as strong as the Third Raikage fell under the attack of so many Iwa ninjas. Let alone you, whose endurance isn't as strong as the Third Raikage's, with an overused Mangekyō Sharingan?
"Then what should I do? Just let him live?" Shisui grit his teeth, streaks of blood continuously flowing from his mouth.
"Later, there will be opportunities. But not now. The current you doesn't possess the strength to challenge the entire Root alone," Shinji looked at Shisui. Your current strength is still insufficient. Only upon reaching the supreme level, the Super Kage level, can one dominate the entire ninja world. And further down the line, you need at least Six Paths level to even appear on screen, otherwise, you won't get any screen time at all.
"Really?" Shisui seemed to suddenly find mental sustenance, a trace of pleading in his eyes. He didn't want this to be like water in a mirror; he truly wanted to be able to complete his revenge against Danzō in the future.
"Of course... So you need to be obedient now. Now is not the time for you to directly confront Danzō. Besides... if you attack Danzō now, have you thought about the consequences?"
"Consequences?" Shisui asked somewhat confusedly.
"Going after Danzō now, regardless of success or failure, and regardless of whether Danzō was truly wrong first, what do you think Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other Hokage Aides will think?" Shinji held up one finger.
"They will think this matter was plotted by our Uchiha clan?" Shisui murmured. It wasn't that he couldn't figure these things out, just that the news Shinji gave just now was too appalling. Thus, the scene just now occurred.
"Yes. They will immediately assume this matter was plotted by your Uchiha clan. The purpose is to create discord between the Hokage and the Hokage Aides. And wanting to use this opportunity to eliminate Danzō, the person who always hated the Uchiha clan."
