Chapter 41: Dark chess works, butterfly effect
In the jungle.
After leaving Hokage Residence, Shisui did not walk back to Uchiha Clan's residence from the right path. Instead, he entered the jungle. He intended to bypass the side because he knew that this matter could no longer be delayed.
He intended to start today!
But when he just wanted to move forward, he was suddenly attacked! He avoided this wave of attacks with a jump. But the attackers had no intention of stopping.
The attacks were endless.
Finally, after avoiding a series of attacks by this group of attackers, Shisui took the opportunity to escape from the jungle to get a better field of view.
Because of this, he finally saw the true face of the attackers!
Root ninjas!
It was the same as his original guess. But, even when the truth was in front of him, he still couldn't relieve his heart because he didn't understand whether the Root's attack on him this time was made by some people, or...
Shisui no longer dared to think anymore.
It didn't take long for the secret mastermind who planned the attack. Shimura Danzo walked out of the jungle unabashedly and expressed his views blatantly.
It is said that the ability of Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan should not be used for such small things as "politics change".
Because the village would no longer take Uchiha Clan lightly again, Uchiha Clan will also walk to the opposite side of the village sooner or later. He did not conceal his intention to make Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan be his.
Both sides have an equal chance of winning. So, in order to probe the strength of Shisui, Danzo first ordered his subordinates to retreat, and then the two began to fight.
During the fight, Shisui can be said to hold back at all times. There was no killing intent at all.
But just as the battle between the two was about to end, Shisui's mind flashed involuntarily 2 years ago, a commoner who left Konoha and inadvertently asked him a few words!
'Wouldn't so many people want to have it? Do you think a non-Uchiha can own Sharingan?'
As soon as these two sentences flashed, Shisui's view of Danzo became involuntarily suspicious. He looked subconsciously at Danzo's right eye wrapped in bandages.
After hesitating for a while, he made a decision. That is, he was going to verify a probability that even he himself found unbelievable!
'Mangekyo Sharingan!'
He looked directly at Danzo's right eye. He began to feel it carefully.
Just as expected He got the answer he didn't want most!
Konoha's high level, Shimura Danzo!
Sure enough, he transplanted a Sharingan from his clan! Even though Danzo, at this time, wasn't using Sharingan, but that feeling of his pupil's power of the same clan, he would not mistake it!
'Asshole! What exactly does this mean?!'
'If someone from the top Konoha covets our clan's Sharingan, does it mean that regardless of the development between the village and the clan, it will never have a good result for Uchiha Clan?! If for the sake of the big picture, we sacrificed ourselves, it won't matter at all?'
The thought that it was because of this unscrupulous thing that causes harm to the clan made Shisui unable to bear it.
That's right. For the village, maybe he will sacrifice clan...
For the reputation of the clan and for the continuation of the clan, he would not hesitate to bear the infamy of using Genjutsu against his own clan members.
'But anyway, this guy who glares like a tiger watching his prey to my clan's eyes absolutely can't leave alive!'
The village and the clan... but first, eliminate this tumor that hurts Konoha!
At this moment, when Shisui faced Danzo, he finally moved his killing intention! In the next attack, he would not keep his hand anymore!
Sensing it, Danzo wanted to call his subordinates to come to the rescue, but unfortunately, it was too late. The serious Shisui used the Mangekyo Sharingan. Danzo finally couldn't escape Shisui's ultimate move and eventually fell down.
A group of Root ninjas flashed to the edge of the jungle. Looking at Danzo's corpse, they were all at a loss.
Shisui had no mercy on the fallen Danzo.
Seeing the group of Root ninjas in front of him, Shisui turned around and left without any intention of doing anything.
But at that moment, the words from the civilian who left Konoha flashed again in Shisui's mind. 'Since your ninjas' abilities are so weird. Say... Is there an ability that can bring people back to life?'
As soon as this sentence floated through his head, Shisui suddenly became alert!
'Izanagi!'
Thinking of Danzo's right eye, Shisui thought of Izanagi. But all this was too late. Because when he was about to jump off, Danzo took the lead. Danzo came from behind and gave him a fatal blow.
"Pu..." Shisui's mouth was full of fresh blood.
But it was unlike in the original series. Shisui was vigilant in advance. Although he did not escape Danzo's fatal blow, he managed to escape from Danzo's palm that wanted to capture his eyes.
After Danzo pulled his hand, Shisui, who was suffering from serious injury, couldn't help kneeling down on one knee. A lot of blood oozed out of his mouth. He looked up and stared at Danzo. "...Why?"
As if Danzo had already won, he had no plans to hide it. He walked toward Shisui and said, "Let your eyes make the most contribution to the village."
Shisui sneered, really...
In order not to let Danzo's treachery succeed, Shisui took out a Smoke Bomb and smashed it.
Then he tried his best to escape from the scene.
Of course, Danzo would not allow him to leave. So, he ordered the Root ninjas to chase him down.
In the process of chasing and fleeing, it was exactly the same as the development of original work. Itachi appeared when Shisui was about to die. His timely appearance saved Shisui from the Root's hands.
After telling Itachi the reason for the incident, Itachi obeyed Shisui's instructions. However, he didn't take Shisui to treatment but instead came to the cliff of Naka River.
[TL note: The Naka River, Naka no Kawa, Viz: Nakano River, literally meaning: River of Southern Joy is a river flowing through Konohagakure. The river is located on the land where the Uchiha clan once lived and prospered, and at some point, it passes through a deep ravine.]
Although Shishui can use 'Izanagi' to recover from his injuries, he did not do so because he knew that it would not help.
Regardless of whether the attack was made by Danzo or the village's decision, the other party will not give up his eyes as long as he survives for a day. It may start the riot in advance.
Therefore, to prevent everyone from getting hurt in order to fight for his eyes, Shisui chose the river to kill himself, just like in the original work.
Before dying, he entrusted his will to Itachi. He also handed over his pair of Mangekyo Sharingan to Itachi, hoping to help Itachi solve the conflict between the clan and the village.
And thus, Itachi also opened his Mangekyo Sharingan!
