章節 3: 3. Danzo Captured Shisui's Sharingan?

The flowers bloom at both ends, each showing a branch!

At this moment, the combat members of the Uchiha clan gathered one by one. The Radical faction were full of fanaticism, while the Supporting faction were secretly worried.

"Family head, the mobilization of personnel is complete. Please give the order!" 

The Fourth Elder said excitedly. As a Radical faction, this was a scene he had dreamed of.

The Fifth Elder, who had always opposed him, couldn't say a word at this moment. The clan was under attack; if he continued to block the clan's actions, he would be condemned by the entire clan.

Although the fact that Shisui was hunted down had not been confirmed yet, no one doubted that Yagami would joke about it. To become a Jōnin at a young age required caution and skill.

"We'll talk about it when Yagami and the others return."

Fugaku returned to his usual serious expression, thinking that the village must have already begun to take action.

······

"Lord Hokage, the Uchiha clan suddenly halted their clan meeting, and the combat members are gathering. Before this, seven Uchiha Jōnin left the clan grounds and disappeared. Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi did not appear in the assembly."

An Anbu reported, and before the Third Hokage could respond, Danzo's voice came from outside the door.

"Hiruzen! There's no time to delay! The evil Uchiha clan has bared its fangs! I told you long ago that this clan cannot be trusted!"

Danzo rushed into the Hokage's office, barely concealing his satisfaction. He had just acquired Shisui's eyes, and now the Uchiha were giving him such an opportunity. It seemed tonight he would gain even more Sharingan.

The Third Hokage did not speak but sighed slightly, tearing off the Hokage robe to reveal the combat uniform beneath.

The only likely explanation for the Uchiha's movement was that Shisui had failed. As Hokage, he had to prepare for the worst.

"Notify everyone—Konoha has entered a state of emergency. Have the Jōnin and Elite Jōnin from the major clans surround the Uchiha clan!"

······

In an instant, Konoha's peaceful night was shattered. Shinobi were running across rooftops while civilians pretended to sleep in their rooms.

The gate of the Uchiha clan grounds was brightly lit, with members from all major clans gathered. Standing before them were the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura of the elder group, as well as Shimura Danzo.

The entire clan was surrounded by three layers of Konoha shinobi, all with solemn expressions.

The Uchiha clan's reputation in Konoha was poor, but their strength was undeniable. Each member was a versatile shinobi, and once provoked, they would not hesitate to kill…

After a while, the gate of the Uchiha compound opened, and hundreds of Uchiha members walked out under Fugaku's leadership, stopping at a distance from the Third Hokage and the others with a subtle air of confrontation.

Seeing that their own clan was surrounded, the Uchiha members murmured uneasily but soon fell silent.

Fugaku looked directly at Danzo, standing beside the Third Hokage, and ignored the Third Hokage's gaze as he asked:

"I would like to know, Lord Hokage, what the meaning of surrounding the Uchiha clan tonight is."

The heads of the major ninja clans looked at Fugaku in surprise, unable to understand his newfound boldness. They knew Fugaku had not acted this way before.

"Fugaku! You suddenly gathered so many Uchiha shinobi—what are you planning?" 

The Third Hokage asked sternly. The sight of the Uchiha standing united behind Fugaku added to the tension. They had considered the possibility of Uchiha taking a firm stance, but they hadn't anticipated such overwhelming support from the clan.

Just then, a messenger bird landed on Fugaku's shoulder. After reading the message it carried, a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes.

"Lord Hokage, I must ask you—Uchiha Shisui has been missing since you summoned him this afternoon. We received word earlier that he was being hunted. My clansmen, who went searching for him, reported back that Shisui was gravely injured and in danger. I ask that Lord Hokage provide an explanation."

"Nonsense! I haven't seen Shisui at all today. You evil Uchiha clan—I want nothing to do with you!" Danzo retorted coldly, though he felt uneasy. He had been certain that what he did to Shisui would remain a secret. How could anyone know?

"Oh, really? Then, Lord Hokage, can you recognize these people? Are they from your Anbu or Root?"

Yagami, who had just arrived, interrupted Danzo's denials, mocking him. Yagami had assumed Danzo would stay hidden within Root, yet here he was, still scheming against Uchiha.

Hearing this, the Third Hokage and others turned to look. Yagami led the way, and two others behind him were carrying a stretcher.

"Fugaku! What does the Uchiha clan mean by this? How dare you attack Konoha shinobi!"

The Third Hokage questioned with a dark expression.

"Third Hokage, you ask what the Uchiha clan means, but I, too, would like to ask what Lord Hokage's intentions are! The leader summoned Shisui in the afternoon and took his Sharingan. Now, we demand an explanation! Because our clansman went missing, the entire clan searched for him—is that an issue?"

As the Uchiha clan head, Fugaku held his ground and faced the Third Hokage with unwavering determination. Yagami observed him, wondering if Fugaku's newfound resolve was a means to boost his standing within the clan, as Fugaku had a firm approach to clan matters but was somewhat lacking in politics.

A stir spread among the surrounding shinobi as they saw Shisui's injuries and noted the empty sockets where his eyes should have been.

"Lord Danzo took Shisui's eyes!"

"Impossible! Danzo is Hokage's assistant. He's always despised the Uchiha, but would he really steal a Sharingan?"

"Quiet! Such words are not to be spoken…"

Shisui struggled to sit up and spoke weakly:

"Lord Third Hokage, Danzo summoned me this evening. He took my Sharingan while I was reporting, and his Root shinobi hunted me down. Had my clansmen not arrived, I would be…"

Shisui trailed off, but everyone present was an elite shinobi. Given Shisui's current condition, it was clear that without the Uchiha's intervention, his fate would have been sealed.

Instantly, all eyes turned to Danzo.

The Bloodline Limit is highly sensitive in the ninja world, whether to a clan or a village; it is a matter of life and death. Stealing another's Bloodline Limit was a grave offence—especially when committed by a high-ranking village official.

Danzo's face darkened, and the confidence he had initially vanished. Standing beside the Third Hokage, he seemed lost in thought.


章節 4: 4. Shisui's Left Eye

The Third Hokage glanced subtly at Shisui. Based on his understanding, even if such a thing had happened, Shisui wouldn't openly accuse Danzo in such a setting. Shisui's loyalty lay with the village, and during the day, he had even approached the Hokage, hoping to quell Uchiha's unrest using Kotoamatsukami.

But how did it come to this?

While it wasn't beyond Shisui, who still had an idealistic sense of loyalty, to oppose Danzo, Yagami clearly had ways of influencing a straightforward young man with such unwavering faith in the village.

In short, if the truth was not addressed, Uchiha might well turn against the village immediately. Without Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, there was no choice but to negotiate, especially with Shisui lying on a stretcher.

······

Sensing the critical gazes of those around him, Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke calmly:

"I sought to improve the relationship between Uchiha and the village and prevent further conflict, but given the situation, I am left with no choice but to reveal the truth. Yes, I summoned Shisui, but he attempted to assassinate me, and I had no choice but to retaliate in self-defence…"

"Are you kidding us?" Yagami interrupted sharply, the red Three-Tomoe Sharingan glaring at Danzo. "Do you take us all for fools?"

"Hmph! Say what you want, but it is true that Shisui attacked me. Everyone in Root can verify it!" Danzo replied defiantly.

His statement left those around speechless. If Shisui had truly attempted an assassination, Danzo would have reported it to the Third Hokage immediately; holding back for the sake of the village seemed out of character.

"Then I declare that Shimura Danzo intended to assassinate the Hokage today—and all of us in Uchiha can testify to it!" Yagami responded with a cold smile.

The Third Hokage's mouth twitched; he understood the situation fully but couldn't respond to that accusation directly, knowing Danzo's actions had indeed crossed boundaries.

"Enough! Now that we've clarified the situation and Shisui has been found, this matter can..."

"Does Hokage-sama mean to let this go?" Yagami cut him off with a mocking tone, his face hardening as he glared at the Third Hokage. "Shisui's eyes are still in Danzo's hands, and you want us to leave it at that? You, as Hokage, would allow the blatant theft of Uchiha's Sharingan? Do you really think Uchiha can be pushed around so easily?"

Fugaku, standing silently by, activated his Sharingan, his chakra flaring as he spoke:

"Sarutobi Hiruzen! Return Shisui's eyes immediately, or else..."

At his words, every Uchiha present activated their Sharingan, their crimson eyes fixed intently on the Third Hokage, tension thickening the air.

The Third Hokage's expression darkened, silently cursing Danzo in his mind. What was he thinking? Now, not only had he botched his actions, but the entire village might have to bear the consequences.

But the problem now was that Konoha could not afford a battle with Uchiha.

"Danzo! Hand over Shisui's eyes!"

Sarutobi's words darkened Danzo's face even further as he struggled to understand how things had spiralled to this point.

"It's true that I had a conflict with Shisui, but I didn't take his Sharingan!" Danzo insisted, unwilling to part with the power of the Sharingan and hoping to make a final attempt to defend himself.

"Danzo, do you really believe our Uchiha clan can't sense our own Bloodline? Do you think covering your eye with a tattered bandage will hide that Shisui's Sharingan is in your eye socket?"

Yagami 's voice turned cold as he continued, "You're still trying to play tricks here. Is this how Konoha's leadership treats its own shinobi? First, it's our Uchiha's Sharingan; next, will it be the Hyuga's Byakugan or the secrets of other great clans?"

With those words, Yagami removed his Konoha forehead protector, his gaze filled with hostility.

Seeing this, the other Uchiha members present began to remove their forehead protectors as well, silently signalling that, without a proper explanation, they were ready to abandon the village.

The surrounding shinobi, after hearing Yagami's words, looked at the Third Hokage and Danzo with wary expressions.

Sarutobi Hiruzen cursed inwardly. Yagami's words struck right at the core of Konoha's foundation. If trust in the Hokage's lineage were to crumble, Konoha would collapse from within. And Uchiha—a clan known for its fierce pride and unity—hadn't yet scratched out the Konoha insignia on their forehead protectors, but the message was clear: without justice, Uchiha would sever ties with the village.

If Uchiha rebelled on their own accord, it would be one thing; the village would deal with it accordingly. But now, this was beginning to look like Konoha forcing Uchiha into a rebellion. If this became known, Konoha would be the laughingstock of the entire ninja world.

"Lord Third Hokage, Danzo's eye is clearly not his own. No clan would stand for having its Bloodline Limit stolen. Hokage-sama, please give us an explanation."

Hyuga Hiashi spoke up, clearly disturbed by Yagami's implications. As a descendant of Konoha, he had no guarantee that what was happening to Uchiha today couldn't happen to Hyuga tomorrow. The disgrace of the Byakugan taken by Kirigakure still haunted the Hyuga clan.

"Danzo! Return Shisui's eyes to Uchiha immediately!" the Third Hokage ordered with a grim expression as the surrounding shinobi turned their gazes to Danzo.

Damn it! Can Uchiha truly sense their own Bloodline Limit? If I'd known, I wouldn't have come…

But now, with no way out, Danzo grudgingly unwrapped the bandage over his right eye, revealing the three-tomoe Sharingan underneath.

The surrounding shinobi erupted in murmurs, shocked to see that Konoha's leadership had taken a Uchiha's Sharingan and implanted it. Many clan members glared at Danzo with suspicion, recalling Yagami's earlier words. Even clans without Bloodline Limits guarded their secret techniques. Who was to say Danzo wouldn't set his sights on them next?

Danzo felt the hostile stares but could do nothing, forced to allow a medical ninja to remove the Sharingan.

After the procedure, Danzo, humiliated and weakened, turned to leave. Confronting Uchiha under these circumstances was out of the question, and he wanted nothing more than to escape the judgmental eyes of the crowd.

"Wait! Where's Shisui's left eye?" Yagami stepped in front of Danzo, blocking his path with a cold, unwavering gaze.
