Chapter 80: Chapter – 78 Naïve Shisui
One can't be too careful when it comes to problems that involve the Uchiha and Sharingan.
This is because the Sharingan has too many mysteries surrounding it, aside from the many forbidden techniques that a Sharingan is capable of; the likes of the Izanagi and the Izanami; against which you can't even defend if you don't know the details from beforehand, each Sharingan also has the potential to at least evolve into a Mangekyou, that in itself is completely mysterious.
Now that Danzo has transplanted Hashirama Cells and a large number of Sharingan that are embedded in that arm of his, it is very likely that he mastered some of these Forbidden Jutsu.
Kuroto has taken a lesson from Orochimaru's example.
Even though Orochimaru has Kage-Level strength, he lost very easily against Itachi; both the times he fought, Itachi easily defeated Orochimaru.
So, Kuroto obviously takes these lessons to heart.
Therefore, at this point in time, fighting against Danzo in head-on combat is a great risk.
I will have to look for some method if I want to solve Danzo!
With this thought in his mind, Kuroto returned home.
Right now, improving his strength is the most important. All of his plans are for this purpose only. Kuroto has always distinguished what's of primary importance and what's of secondary.
Mastering the Four-Symbols seal is the most important currently.
Because Kuroto believes that as long as he masters the Four-Symbols seal, it will become possible for him to understand as well as master other Uzumaki Fuinjutsu techniques.
Once he becomes proficient in Uzumaki Fuinjutsu, he should be able to break the seal used by Yondaime-Sama on the Dragon Vein, thus completing the next important step in his artificial tailed beast plan.
So, condensing all his thoughts, Kuroto focused on learning the Four-Symbols seal.
...…
After a while of studying, Kuroto recorded his experience in its practice one by one.
After he finished writing, Kuroto thought, "This time Team-11 did quite a good job, even slowed down the offensive of Cloud Village, it shouldn't be a problem to change the mission points for another sealing technique."
In Kuroto's prediction, it would take him around a week at most to completely master the Four-Symbols seal.
After mastering the Four-Symbols Seal, if he can learn one or two more of the Uzumaki Fuinjutsu technique, then he will be able to have a deeper understanding of it through his Tenseigan.
With the credit points of Team-11, changing another Fuinjutsu technique shouldn't be that big of a deal, right?
…
Early Next Morning, Kuroto went out.
Along the way, he picked up signs of dissatisfaction and small disputes among the villagers regarding the peace talks between the Konoha and the Cloud.
Without a doubt, many villagers are dissatisfied and angry about the sudden attack by the Cloud Village. After all, hundreds of ninjas died in this small conflict, every major clan except for the Uchiha also lost someone. So, the fact that Hokage-Sama easily accepted Cloud Village's peace talks left many of the villager's dissatisfied.
Even if the villagers understand the difficulties of Hokage-Sama and the lack of combat power within Konoha, but this can't bring back their loved ones can it?
The attitude of Cloud Village this time was like 'first slapping Konoha right in the face and then shaking hand for peaceful negotiation', as the ninja of the greatest shinobi village people can't easily swallow such insult.
However, Kuroto doesn't have any opinion in this regard.
He is more than clear that the current Konoha is no longer the Konoha of Shodaime-Sama or Nidaime-sama's era. When the Hokage was able to overpower and dominate the entire Shinobi World with their individual strength.
No matter how great the humiliation, you can only bear it if strength is insufficient.
Moreover, this is just the beginning, the troubles that Konoha will be facing in the future are no small either.
While thinking these things, Kuroto silently arrived at the agreed meeting place.
Not long after his arrival, Shisui's figure appeared in front of Kuroto.
As soon as he arrived, he spoke in an apologetic tone, "Kuroto-San, I am sorry to have kept you waiting!"
"It's alright, it's only been a while." After a short pause, Kuroto continued, "I have a very important thing to tell you this time."
"What is it?" – Shisui asked curiously.
However, before starting, Kuroto activated his Byakugan and confirmed that no one was spying on them, then whispered: "Yesterday, I encountered Danzo-sama, and discovered a really disturbing thing about him!"
Shisui was shocked, "What, did you also meet Danzo-Sama yesterday?"
When Kuroto heard Shisui, he frowned a little. A bad premonition surged in his heart, and to confirm this he asked Shisui, "Did you also meet him yesterday?"
Shisui replied, "Well, Danzo-Sama invited me to join Root, but I refused. Did he invite you too Kuroto-San?"
Ignoring Shisui's question Kuroto hurriedly asked, "Don't tell me you confessed about awakening the Mangekyou to him?"
Shisui nodded, "We did talk about the contradiction and isolation of the Uchiha and the village. To reassure Danzo-Sama and the Advisors of the Konoha Council. I confessed about my Mangekyou to Sandaime-Sama and Danzo-Sama. They promised to me that if necessary, I am allowed to stop Uchiha Clan's extreme intentions."
However, Kuroto wasn't too happy about this, as his face sank.
He bonked Shisui's head in frustration, "Stupid!"
While rubbing his head, Shisui asked in confusion, "What's wrong Kuroto-San?"
"In regards to this issue, I called you here in the first place!" After a short pause, Kuroto continued: "Yesterday, I was able to discover through the Byakugan that Shimura Danzo has transplanted Hashirama cells and a large number of Sharingan. He has already used the forbidden art of Body Transformation to beyond recognition!"
"What!?" Shisui froze as soon as he heard Kuroto.
However, Kuroto only glanced slightly at Shisui and said with a sigh, "That old coot has coveted the power of the Sharingan more than anyone in the world and you just told him about having awakened the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan, isn't this simply delivering the sheep to the Lion's Den?"
The best countermeasure that Kuroto thought of yesterday was to inform Shisui about Danzo's obsessiveness for the Sharingan and then induce Shisui to use Koto Amatsukami on Danzo, to solve the problem 'Danzo' once and for all.
But he never thought that Danzo acted so fast, on the very same day, he not only solicited him but also enticed Shisui to join the 'Root'.
What worries him more is that Shisui actually confessed about his Mangekyou to Danzo and Sandaime-Sama.
Of course, Kuroto doesn't know of the stimulus Shisui received at the Uchiha Clan meeting yesterday. Some of the Uchiha completely expressed their intentions of a Coup d'état, although the Patriarch didn't express his opinion, most of the opinions were united, therefore Shisui opted to confess to Hokage-Sama.
After worrying for a while, Shisui murmured, "Kuroto-San, I did something stupid, didn't I?"
"Damn right you did an extremely stupid thing!" - Looking at Shisui's depressed state, Kuroto sighed and asked again, "In addition to Susanoo, the Mangekyou should have more abilities, right?"
Without hesitation, Shisui immediately replied, "Yes, my Mangekyou grants me access to Koto Amatsukami in each eye, a unique genjutsu of the highest calibre, that allows me to cast a powerful yet subtle mind-controlling genjutsu on the target."
"Did you talk about this to Danzo and Sandaime-Sama!?"
Shisui nodded nervously, "Well, I am planning to use this genjutsu to change the intention of the Uchiha Clan, and stop the Coup. So, to convince Hokage-Sama of my ability to be able to do this, I didn't conceal about it either!"
"You really are naïve Shisui. True, you can stop the Uchiha from launching the Coup, but what will you do about Danzo's intention against the Uchiha? Now, the elders of the Konoha Council will no longer trust you completely, moreover, there is a hundred percent guarantee that Danzo will do everything in and beyond his power to get his hands on your Mangekyou."
Shisui seemed really tensed now
"Remember, if Danzo asks to meet you in private, there is only one intention, he will be after your Mangekyou. So, be careful, because if you aren't, then who knows what sort of trouble he might cause for the Uchiha as well as for the rest of the village if he does manage to obtain your Mangekyou Sharingan…"

Chapter 81: Chapter - 79 Konoha Elder Council Meeting
Shisui didn't expect the matter to become so serious, now he was sort of panicked.
He always felt that he was doing the right thing, and those crazy people are the wrong ones; but after listening to Kuroto-San's words, he is starting to realize that by confessing about his Mangekyou to Sandaime-Sama and Danzo, he actually dragged the Uchiha one step closer to their doom.
Shisui bowed towards Kuroto and said sincerely, "Kuroto-San, please trust me, I would never use Kotoamatsukami on my companions, please believe me!"
Kuroto shook his head, "Shisui, it has nothing to do with whether I believe you or not. In the face of someone was who has the ability to modify other's will at any time, no matter who the person may be, they will feel an instinctual fear and suspicious of you, even if it is me!"
Shisui was a little lost now, "But I…"
"Regardless of whether you are loyal to the village, whether you are an upright and kind person, as long you have that ability, you will be considered a threat by others." Taking a short pause to let Shisui digest his words, Kuroto continued, "In the end, it is the technique Kotoamatsukami that makes others too uncomfortable to accept it so easily."
By now Shisui realizes the crux of the matter, so he hurriedly asked, "Kuroto-San, then… is there some way for me to help the Uchiha?"
Listening to Shisui's question, Kuroto put one hand on his chin, in a thinking posture, and after a little consideration, he said, "For the time being, I have no good method to help you out, but you better not do anything unnecessary. Let the peace talks between Konoha and Cloud get completed, which will take some time, and the village won't risk doing something to the Uchiha in this period. As for the future, give me some time to think about an effective way to help out with the Uchiha problem."
Shisui's personal problem isn't that big of an issue, Kotoamatsukami is indeed worrisome, that is the reason it will be difficult for him to be trusted by the advisors of the Konoha Council, but he will have to make do with that.
After all, who told him to just go out there and confess about his Mangekyou and its abilities to Danzo and Sandaime-sama so brazenly.
Following Kuroto's assurance, Shisui nodded silently.
Kuroto thought a little about Obito hidden behind the scenes and doesn't have very good intentions against the village, so he decided to warn Shisui about it a little, "One more thing Shisui, remember to pay close attention to any suspicious people near your clan."
"What do you mean by suspicious people, Kuroto-San?"
"During the Kyuubi's rebellion, although I wasn't in the village, the information I have collected so far indicates that the Kyuubi was indeed controlled by the Sharingan!"
Shisui's face suddenly sank, "Kuroto-San, do you really suspect that the Uchiha planned Kyuubi's Rebellion?"
"It's not about whether I suspect or not, The Kyuubi was controlled by the Sharingan, so the suspicion inevitably falls upon the Uchiha." Glancing at Shisui, who seems to be getting more and more depressed, Kuroto nodded to himself and continued to induce, "Besides, it doesn't necessarily have to be an Uchiha from the village, you get what I mean!?"
Shisui suddenly lifted his head in shock.
He has heard about some of the Uchiha that went missing or left Konoha for no reason. Among them, the name of Uchiha Madara, who founded Konoha together with Shodaime-Sama, was the loudest one.
If the descendants of these 'Missing' Uchiha have been left outside the village, then it would make sense if they have a Sharingan.
"Does that mean there is an outsider with Uchiha's blood, who planned the Kyuubi's rebellion?" – Shisui asked.
"It could be, I am not too sure either, but it wouldn't hurt to be cautious, right?" Kuroto said.
Shisui nodded, he has always felt that Kuroto-San is trustworthy and what he said makes logical sense too.
After the two chatted for a while longer, Shisui left.
Looking at Shisui's figure walking away, Kuroto shook his head in melancholy.
As the most gifted ninja within the Uchiha, Shisui is simply impeccable in every aspect, it's just that he is too immature at understanding and figuring out people's hearts.
His kindness, undying loyalty, and habit of naively trusting others became the cause of his death.
Shaking his head in sadness, Kuroto walked away.
Hokage Building, Council Meeting Room.
Sandaime-Sama was discussing the matters of the peace talks with the Cloud Village with other advisors of the Council, mentioning the secret mission of Anbu Team-11, he lightly tapped his desk.
Hatake Kakashi, who was waiting outside the meeting room, walked inside upon hearing the tapping sound and explained the details of exactly what he knew, about the entire process and events in completing their task, from the time of leaving Konoha to the time of returning to Konoha.
After Hayate Kakashi was finished with the explanation, Sandaime-Sama said indifferently: "Alright that would be enough, withdraw!"
Kakashi nodded respectfully and left the meeting room.
Utatane Koharu said after Kakashi left, "So, that was really the case huh? Team-11 harassing Cloud's transportation line slowed down their offensive as well as forced the Nibi's Jinchuriki to retreat at the rear? Team-11 has done a great job, they are heroes of Konoha!"
Mitokade Homura also said in praise, "Well, they should be promoted and rewarded appropriately for their work."
However, Shimura Danzo had other thoughts as he suddenly said, "You received this report? The news I received from the information network of Root tells the other story!"
Not only Mitakade Homura and Utatane Koharu; but even Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo, waiting for his explanation.
Being the center of attention, Danzo said coldly, "Cloud Village slowed down their offensive less because the Team-11 harassed their transportation line but more because of the heavy losses they suffered at the rear. According to the secret intelligence, more than three hundred Cloud ninjas, including several elite Jonin, died overnight, which prompted even the Raikage to leave the village in search of the enemy responsible.
As far as my sources indicate, the Team-11's name came for being responsible for this work!"
"What…!?"
Advisor Koharu and Homura looked at each other in shock.
When Sandaime heard of this, he suddenly remembered that Uchiha Shisui took the initiative to confess to him about awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, and his face suddenly sank, the tobacco pipe fell and he was left speechless.
However, without waiting for Hiruzen to recover, Danzo stood up and asked, "Why didn't your Team-11 report of this? What made them hide such a glorious feat that is worthy of high rewards?"
Utatane Koharu asked Hiruzen seriously, "Team-11 has that kind of combat power?"
For the four members of Team-11 to be able to wipe out more than three hundred cloud ninjas overnight, they must have at least one person with Kage-Class combat power.
Sandaime was left with no choice and stated, "Uchiha Shisui awakened the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan!"
As soon as she heard this, Koharu was surprised: "That power? Did Kagami's grandchild actually awaken it?"
Homura whispered to himself, "Wouldn't he become another Uchiha Madara?"
However, Danzo didn't stop, "Hiruzen, you seem to be hiding something!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced murderously at Danzo.
However, Danzo wasn't afraid, and said, "Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou allows him to cast the highest level of genjutsu called 'Kotoamatsukami', which can modify the will of others subtly without making them realize! In other words, he can make anyone into his puppet without even letting the puppet know of it!"
"What!!?" If until now they were shocked, now they were panicked.
Danzo smiled coldly as he said, "Letting an Uchiha have such a dangerous technique in his possession is too harmful, I propose to take immediate coercive measures against Uchiha Shisui!"
In the brief shock and panic, Homura immediately said, "Agreed!"
Sandaime-Sama shook his head in denial, "Uchiha Shisui is the bridge between the village and the Uchiha. If we take any coercive measures against him, it will only stimulate the Uchiha Clan. Now the peace talks with the Cloud village are in progress, so at this critical moment if any turmoil breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable."
There was no reply from Utatane Koharu, she remained silent the entire time as if she was mulling over something.
However, Danzo ignored her, and since he expected Hiruzen Sarutobi to say this, so he didn't force it and said, "Then put Uchiha Shisui on the monitoring list, and the 'Root' will be responsible for this task!"
After pondering for a while, Sarutobi finally nodded.
Danzo was very satisfied by Hokage's concession, and he suddenly remembered the scene where Special Jonin Hyuga Kuroto refused his solicitation by refusing to join the 'Root', so he said again, "That's not enough Hiruzen, Team-11 concealed information, their loyalty is questionable, I propose to list all the members of Team-11 under monitoring…"
