Danzo's Ambition!

Chapter 44 Danzo's Ambition!

A dark and windy night!

The gloomy sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and a bright moon pierced the night sky, shining on a thin telephone pole.

As if because he had not been exposed to light for a long time, Uchiha Shisui, who was squatting on the telephone pole, couldn't help but tremble slightly, but he quickly regained his usual deathly expression.

only……

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump...

Although Shisui appeared outwardly normal, the rapid, pounding of his heart betrayed that he was not as calm as he seemed.

"For the sake of the village and the Uchiha clan, I have no other choice!"

The razor-sharp Mangekyou Sharingan slowly rotated within Shisui's eye sockets, while the constantly engorged and dilated capillaries beside it caused the whites of his eyes to gradually diminish...

at last!

Uchiha Shisui closed his eyes with a hint of pain, and when he opened them again, he had completely returned to normal.

Just as Shisui witnessed Jin leading the Uchiha clan and Hiruzen Sarutobi and other Konoha leaders to completely break ties, he already knew that his clan and village were on the verge of a dangerous situation.

Impeach the Hokage!

This completely offended the Hokage, who had uttered the precious words "the village believes in the Uchiha," and also pushed the Uchiha clan to the opposite side of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

And that Danzo guy...

As the embodiment of the "Will of Fire" in Shisui's mind, how could the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, be so despicable? Clearly, Danzo, the black sheep, was behind all of this.

The Hokage... the Hokage was just... showing consideration for their friendship...

But no matter what happened in the past, the village and clan are now on the verge of destruction. Realizing that he had to do something, Shisui still responded decisively to Hiruzen Sarutobi's suggestion and silently left the Uchiha clan's barbecue party.

Just ...

Why did Jin's eyes look so meaningful before he left?

But none of that matters anymore!

Recalling Danzo's furious outburst in the Hokage Building, constantly accusing the Uchiha and frantically trying to incite the clan and village towards war, Shisui almost couldn't suppress the overwhelming killing intent within him.

However, the intense will of fire within him allowed Shisui to barely suppress this impulse.

Furthermore, by actively revealing his Mangekyou Sharingan and its techniques, he finally found a glimmer of peace for his clan and village.

That's right.

Although it was clear that under King's series of heavy blows, Hiruzen Sarutobi had temporarily lost the ability to rally all forces in Konoha to attack the Uchiha clan.

Furthermore, the so-called impeachment of the Hokage and the nomination of Fugaku Uchiha as a Hokage candidate all seem to create a harmonious future.

However, Shisui knew that all of this was just a false bubble. Even if it looked so beautiful and tempting, it would only lead to two results in the end.

The destruction of the Uchiha clan!

The Uchiha clan and the village perished together!

But this was something Shisui absolutely refused to accept, but the situation was now beyond his control, even though he possessed a pair of kaleidoscopes that would make anyone wary...

and so.

Still water is gambling!

If the clan can compromise, then the Hokage, who can utter the essence of the Will of Fire such as "the village believes in the Uchiha," should surely be able to handle the relationship between the village and the clan.

Recalling the Third Hokage's trembling hands resting on his shoulders and his resolute eyes filled with trust, Shisui was certain he hadn't misjudged him.

Under the illumination of the Will of Fire, the Hokage will surely guide his clan and village toward a better and more harmonious path.

and so!

"Chieftain, I'm so sorry!"

As the last trace of hesitation in his heart was extinguished by Shisui, the blade-like Mangekyou Sharingan reappeared in his eye sockets.

brush!

As the phantom of still water dissipated into the air, dozens of kunai were embedded deeply into the utility pole from extremely tricky angles.

Having easily dodged all the kunai, Shisui, now solidified once more, stood before several Root ninjas wearing black cloaks and animal masks.

"Lord Danzo, is there something you need from me?"

Shisui ignored the Root ninjas holding kunai and with cold killing intent on their faces, and instead looked at the figure slowly emerging from the darkness behind them.

"As expected of the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

As Danzo slowly spoke, two shadows suddenly appeared beside Shisui.

Clang! Clang!

As two shuriken attacked Shisui's vital points, Shisui, unaware of Danzo's intentions and unwilling to kill, could only fight and retreat, using his prized Phantom Body Flicker Technique to continuously fly through the narrow streets.

"Shisui-sama, what a fast phantom!"

As the figure emerging from the dark woods was fully illuminated by the moonlight, Shimura Danzo, dressed as an old, weak, sick, and disabled man with a bandage wrapped around his right eye and his right hand slinged to his chest, finally spoke again.

"Step down!"

With Danzo's order, the Root organization that had been attacking Shisui finally stopped and silently hid in a dark corner once again.

"Danzo, what exactly do you want to do?"

At this moment, Shisui was getting impatient. He really wanted to kill this fool who had been stirring up trouble.

However, due to the special relationship between Danzo and the Third Hokage, coupled with the current special circumstances of the Uchiha clan and the Hokage lineage, Shisui refrained from taking action against Danzo.

Ah!

I must teach Danzo a lesson sometime in the future. For example, I can use genjutsu to put him into an infinite loop and make him feel that humiliation of being trampled underfoot by Uchiha Jin!

"The matter at hand is of utmost importance. How can I trust you to complete the mission without testing your abilities first!"

Danzo's face was full of superior leadership air, and there was no hint of apology in his tone. Instead, a strange smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Foolish Uchiha!

It's amazing how easily I managed to deplete a portion of your chakra. And this foolish naiveté will surely be etched in your memory today.

"Did the Hokage send you to assist me?"

A hint of hesitation flashed in Uchiha Shisui's eyes, but considering that Danzo was also in the Hokage Building at the time, he felt that it was not impossible.

Danzo did not answer Shisui's question. Instead, he slowly walked up to Shisui, narrowed his left eye slightly, examined the person in front of him, and then slowly continued.

"If we take action against Fugaku Uchiha and control the Uchiha clan to stop their plans for a coup, but the village doesn't change its treatment of the Uchiha clan..."

At this point, Danzo stared intently at Shisui, a cruel smile spreading across his face as if he were a vulture eyeing a carcass.

"What would you have done then?"

Danzo's sudden question made Shisui's heart tremble. This was a question he had always wanted to avoid but could not escape.

But recalling Hiruzen Sarutobi's trembling yet powerful hand resting on his shoulder, Uchiha Shisui gritted his teeth and answered resolutely.

"The Third Hokage promised me; he led the village and the Uchiha clan to peace!"

"ridiculous."

Upon hearing such a naive answer, Danzo couldn't help but reveal a merciless sneer on his face, while Shisui's naive reply only strengthened his resolve to seize "Kotoamatsukami".

The conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha was only a matter of time.

Even if they control Fugaku Uchiha, it will only buy them a little more time. However, the evil Uchiha are beyond redemption, and the only option for Konoha is to completely eliminate them.

therefore.

Using Kotoamatsukami to control Fugaku?

What's the point of manipulating such a weak, incompetent, and indecisive person? How could Shimura Danzo accept such a waste of talent?

It should be understood that this great power, capable of manipulating people's hearts and rewriting their will, can only be fully utilized under the command of "The Darkness of the Ninja World"!

If Shimura Danzo could obtain this power, it would be equivalent to having the right to control Konoha and the ninja world, and he would lead Konoha to its true peak.

As long as it can be controlled...

Hiruzen Sarutobi!
