"Caw, caw."
A group of crows hovered over the cliff, making a shrill and hoarse cry, which made people feel inexplicably sad.
Naka River under the cliff, riverside.
Dan and Tsunade are waiting here.
Tsunade frowned and looked up at the top of the cliff, thinking about what Dan had said to Shisui before.
He asked Shisui to perform a play, the purpose was to——
Let Itachi Uchiha awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Can the method of Dan really succeed?
Tsunade felt suspicious and curious about this.
After all, she now also has a pair of three magatama sharingan eyes, and can use them as freely as the Uchiha.
If she could witness the opening of a pair of Mangekyo with her own eyes, it would undoubtedly be a valuable experience and revelation for her, which would allow her to deepen her thinking and understanding of the Sharingan.
at this time.
Phew.
She saw a figure jumping down from a cliff more than a hundred meters high, falling like a meteor.
Here it is, Shisui.
With a plop.
Shisui fell into the water of Naka River.
This is the cliff-jumping scene arranged by Shisui, using the latter's suicide to stimulate Itachi to open his eyes. For a ninja, falling into the river from this height is not very dangerous.
But.
After waiting for a while, there was no movement on the river.
Tsunade took off her cloak with haste, plunged into the water, and after about half a minute, she fished Shisui out from the bottom of the river.
She placed him on the ground on the shore.
"cough..."
Shisui, who lost his eyes, choked violently and coughed up the water and blood in his lungs. He looked extremely miserable.
Something is wrong.
Tsunade frowned when she saw this, and immediately stepped forward to check Shisui, only to realize how bad his physical condition was.
"You were obviously poisoned, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
She looked surprised, and quickly took out the "universal antidote" she prepared and gave it to Shisui.
Later.
Tsunade used the chakra scalpel again to open the wound where Shisui was bitten by a poisonous insect.
As atomized chakra emitted from her palm, drops of toxins formed into green liquid and floated out of Shisui's body.
This is an advanced medical ninjutsu that can remove all toxins that harm the human body.
But Shisui struggled to speak and said to Tsunade:
"Tsunade-sama, thank you, don't waste any more chakra. I was poisoned by the ninjas of the Aburame clan. The poison has already spread throughout my body, and even you can't do anything."
Shisui just wanted Itachi to kill him because he thought he couldn't survive.
Tsunade was shaken all over, the movement of her hands slowly stopped, and her eyes became depressed.
She didn't have much friendship with Uchiha Shisui.
But this boy, who is only sixteen years old, has a sunny personality, a gentle and polite manner, and everyone will feel as comfortable as a spring breeze when getting along with him.
He is kind-hearted and wants to protect the peace of the village even if it costs him his own life.
On Shisui.
In a daze, Tsunade saw the shadow of her brother Naoki.
So she didn't want Shisui to die.
But as Shisui said, it was already too late.
Tsunade couldn't help but turned her head and looked at Dan on the side. She didn't speak, but her eyes were clearly asking the latter - you had expected it to be like this, right?
She doesn't understand.
Since Dan had seen through the true face of the Third Hokage, why did he instigate Shisui to see him and deliberately put the child into a near-death situation?
Because Shisui must die.
So far.
Under the influence of Dan, although Shisui's character seems to have changed a lot, he is still the naive idealist in his heart.
When a war really breaks out between Uchiha and Konoha, it is impossible to predict which side Shisui will end up on.
So Dan decided to let Zhisui die.
Shisui's death not only stimulated Itachi's potential, but also aroused the anger and hatred of the Uchiha clan. It was considered a well-deserved death.
but.
Dan was not interested in explaining these things to Tsunade. He walked up to Shisui, looked down at the latter, and asked lightly:
"What else do you want to say?"
Shisui did have something to say.
His face was calm, and he gradually revealed an expression of great enlightenment, and he slowly spoke:
"Dan.
I once thought that the Uchiha clan fell into narrow nationalism, and no one except myself could understand the will of fire.
I also believed that it was my mission to ease the relationship between my family and the village, and that I was the savior who brought peace to Konoha.
When I went to see the Sandaime this time, I was still self-righteous and wishful thinking that the other party would accept my proposal.
Until now.
I finally saw how stupid and arrogant I was, how ridiculous, pitiful and pathetic I was. "
Regarding Shisui's confession.
Dan nodded in agreement and commented:
"People can only truly recognize themselves when they are dying. Congratulations, Shisui."
Hearing this, Shisui smiled.
Yes, he finally saw himself clearly, but it was too late.
So he could only say one thing to Dan:
"Dan, the future of the family... I leave it to you."
This time, Shisui only talked about his family and not the village.
"Don't worry, Konoha will pay the price. The Sandaime and Danzo will eventually be nailed to the pillar of shame in history because of what they have done over the years."
Dan said calmly.
But contrary to Shisui, Dan only said that Konoha would pay the price, but did not mention what would happen to the Uchiha clan.
Shisui did not respond to his words.
With a faint smile on his face, he lost his last breath and returned to the pure land.
Tsunade, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
She stood up suddenly and asked with an angry look:
"Shisui is obviously a member of your clan, and he has shown loyalty and trust to you. But you don't care about his life at all, and you don't feel any sadness about his death, and you even congratulate him?"
"Of course, congratulations. Shisui finally got rid of the brainwashing of the Will of Fire and is no longer the stubborn guy. To be honest, I like him much more now."
After Dan said this, he showed a faint smile.
Seeing him like this, Tsunade's eyes widened:
"But does this make any sense? He is dead and he is only sixteen years old!"
"So what, can't I just go back and find a way to resurrect him? Isn't there a forbidden technique for resurrecting the dead that exists in this world? For example, your second grandfather Senju Tobirama developed a technique called Edo Tensei."
Dan said disapprovingly, as if someone's death was just a small matter.
In fact.
In this world, death is indeed not that pessimistic, because it only means the death of the body, not the end of the soul.
After a person dies, his soul will go to the Pure Land.
As long as there are suitable means, the soul of the deceased can be summoned back from the Pure Land and resurrected in various forms.
Tsunade was stunned.
While she was stunned, Dan picked up Shisui's body and strode away.
The living part of the play he asked Shisui to act has been completed, and there is still a posthumous part to be played.
Shisui is more useful dead than alive.
soon.
Dan returned to the clan and found his brother-in-law Fugaku.
"Dan, what's going on? Shisui, he..."
Fugaku was horrified when he saw Shisui's body.
"Gather all the clan members, brother-in-law. The time has come for the life and death of the Uchiha clan." Dan said this to Fugaku with a sharp look in his eyes.
Less than a quarter of an hour.
Nearly eight hundred people from the Uchiha clan came from all directions and gathered in the open space in front of the Muscle Reform Department building.
At the top of the steps, Fugaku and Dan stood side by side, looking heavy and serious.
Seeing the appearance of the two people, the tribesmen couldn't help but whisper and speculated whether something bad had happened.
Until everyone has arrived.
Fugaku then said in a deep and sorrowful voice: "Shisui is dead!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, exploding in the crowd.
Shisui...dead? !
All the tribesmen had a look of shock on their faces, unable to accept such a thing for a while.
At this time.
Inabi and tetsubi walked out of the building with their heads lowered, carrying a stretcher. Under Fugaku's order, they placed the stretcher in front of the steps and lifted the white cloth on it.
Shisui's body was revealed.
"The Sandaime deceived the Uchiha clan!"
Fugaku suddenly raised his voice and revealed the truth about Shisui's death to the tribe with a look of grief and anger. "On the surface, the Sandaime made compromises with Uchiha and paralyzed us with interests, but secretly he planned to destroy the Uchiha clan. In order to save the family, Shisui , went to negotiate with the Sandaime alone, but was attacked by the latter in a sneak attack, took away the Mangekyou Sharingan, and unfortunately died!"
After hearing Fugaku's words, they saw Shisui's miserable death state.
Everyone in Uchiha came back to their senses and couldn't help but feel angry.
Also present were Tobi and Fujin Raijin.
"Brother Shisui!"
The brothers threw themselves on Shisui's body and burst into tears. Although they are not very smart, they can still tell that Shisui is really good to them and has always regarded them as friends.
Tobi stood aside helplessly, feeling unbelievable about Shisui's death.
"Hoo~"
Fugaku took a deep breath and took a step forward.
Then, the Uchiha clan leader issued a declaration of war to Konoha in front of all the clan members.
"The Sandaime always said that the thing that Konoha ninjas must protect is jade.
What is jade?
I once thought that jade was the next generation of the village, but in the eyes of the Sandaime, Danzo and others, they themselves were jade, the incarnation of the will of fire.
As for us, the Uchiha clan, in jade's eyes, we are nothing but stones not worth mentioning.
Maybe the Sandaime believed that sooner or later the stone that hurts his feet would be stepped on or thrown into a pit.
But he forgot that the self-proclaimed noble jade is fragile, but the stone is very hard. As long as you fight hard, you can fight with the opponent to death!
Uchiha does not believe in the so-called will of fire. We must have our own will of stone.
For the sake of Uchiha's freedom, I declare——
Uchiha officially breaks with Konoha and will fight until death! "
At this moment, Fugaku was impassioned.
Finally here.
Fugaku realized that the future he saw after launching Amabie, the day when Uchiha and Konoha would fight to the death, was today.
"Fight until death!" "Fight with Konoha!"
The tribesmen were also excited and shouted.
at this time.
A strong chakra fluctuation suddenly came from the periphery of the crowd.
Everyone in Uchiha turned around, only to realize that it was Itachi.
His pair of Mangekyō Sharingan emitted a strange scarlet light, which frightened the people of the tribe and spread to both sides to make way for him.
Itachi stepped forward and walked through the crowd.
"Itachi, your eyes..."
Fugaku couldn't help being surprised and happy when he saw his son's Mangekyō Sharingan.
They saw Itachi walking up the steps, coming to Dan's face, and spreading out a palm towards the latter, with a bloody eye in the palm.
"Uncle, these are Shisui's eyes. He asked me to hand them over to you."
Itachi said calmly.
"Okay." Dan said only one word.
As soon as he finished speaking, a crow suddenly appeared and landed on Itachi's hand.
Then, Shisui's eye floated up, blended into the crow's left eye, and became one with it.
"Caw."
The crow cawed, and one of its wings disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a few feathers that fell lightly to the ground.
Shisui's left eye was sealed.
Next.
Itachi turned around, walked to the stretcher, and lifted it with his own hands.
"I want to ask the Sandaime for an explanation regarding Shisui's death." He said expressionlessly, his voice was as cold as frost, and his whole body exuded strong murderous intent.
So.
Following the clan leader Fugaku's order.
Two hundred Uchiha ninjas walked out of the gate of the clan and headed straight for the Hokage Building.
Only a small number of combatants were left to guard the clan land and the rest of the people.
Whoosh.
Tsunade suddenly appeared with a serious face.
Before she could speak, she took the initiative and said:
"I don't want to get involved in the war between Uchiha and Konoha, but I want to protect Hashirama's cell research results and not let it fall into the hands of some people."
Dan heard the words, nodded, and then said to Mikoto beside him:
"Sister, please stay and help Tsunade."
Having Mikoto and Tsunade together will definitely put her mind at ease.
"Yes." Mikoto agreed with a worried look on her face and followed her brother's arrangement.
Next.
"Tobi." Dan shouted to Tobi, who immediately spread out his body and wrapped around him.
Whoosh.
Dan figure flashed and disappeared from the place.
While the Uchiha clan rushed towards the Hokage Building and attracted the attention of the whole village, Dan planned to act alone first and go to get something somewhere in the village.
With the sound of footsteps approaching from far away.
The two hundred ninjas of Uchiha, all fully armed and murderous, led by the father and son Fugaku and Itachi, went straight towards the Hokage Building.
"what happened?"
"It's not good, the Uchiha people seem to be causing trouble again."
When the villagers on both sides of the street saw this scene, they all looked frightened and hurriedly hid in their homes and closed the doors and windows.
The news reached the police department.
Captain Hinata Hiashi led a large group of police force members and hurriedly arrived and stopped the Uchiha clan halfway.
As soon as Hiashi appeared, he noticed the body on the stretcher carried by Itachi, Inabi and others.
That is... Uchiha Shisui?
Hiashi was suddenly startled and have a very bad premonition. Finally, he bit the bullet and asked:
"Chief Fugaku, what are you doing?"
The only response to him was Itachi's angry shout:
"Get away!"
