Change from the ninja world

Chapter 238 Uchiha Disaster

At dawn, the sky will be bright but not yet bright.

In the Uchiha gathering area, some ninjas had already begun activities, and after a while, they naturally discovered four corpses lying in an alley.

A murder occurred in the clan, which quickly attracted the attention of the Uchiha senior officials. A large number of ninjas surrounded the crime scene.

At first, they thought that an Uchiha ninja had been murdered, so they were all filled with indignation and clamored for revenge, but soon they discovered that this was not the case.

For a moment, the scene of the crime became strangely quiet. Everyone was silent, frowning, and looked at a loss.

It wasn't until Uchiha Shisui and his two friends squeezed into the crowd that the silence was broken.

"Give me a moment, give me a moment..."

Because Uchiha Shisui is currently in a state of disrepute within the Uchiha clan, he received the news even later and his actions were slower.

When he squeezed through the crowd and walked into the crime scene, he found the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku standing motionless, with several elders beside him.

"Clan leader, can I take a look at the scene?" Uchiha Shisui asked.

Uchiha Fugaku was like a stone sculpture that suddenly came to life. He turned his neck stiffly and glanced at Shisui, then nodded slowly.

After Uchiha Shisui received permission, he cautiously walked to the corpse and squatted down to observe. The mask that fell on the ground showed that the ninja who died here belonged to the ANBU. With just a glance, he knew that the two men died of mutual assassination. The ninja was most likely affected by a powerful illusion.

"Illusion..."

This made Uchiha Shisui's heart sink. Who has the best genjutsu in Konoha, and which clan is most famous for genjutsu?
However, things were not the worst, only worse. When Shisui left the two corpses and went to check the other two, he just saw clearly the animal mask on the other person's face, which made him stand up suddenly and his expression changed quickly. became pale.

"This...how is this possible?"

Uchiha Shisui looked a little unbelievable. Then he gritted his teeth and reached out to lift off the two masks. But when his fingertips really touched the cold masks, his palms even stiffened for a moment... This was Fear, like having to lift the lid off hell.

But no matter what, Shisui didn't stop. He still looked at the two masks, saw the faces under the masks, and confirmed their identities.

Of the two companions following Zhisui, one was slightly older, so his expression quickly became exactly the same as Zhisui's. The other ninja might be young and lacked understanding of the village, so he didn't know yet. What happened? He could only ask Zhisui: "Zhisui, what... happened?"

A group of ANBU ninjas died in the Uchiha settlement. The nature of the matter was indeed very serious, but it shouldn't make Shisui feel despair.

Uchiha Shisui bit the corner of his mouth. Because he used too much force, a string of blood beads slipped down. He suppressed his emotional fluctuations and said to the young ninja, "These two people are the Anbu Commander-in-Chief and the Commander-in-Chief. His deputy."

"Anbu... captain?"

The young ninja finally realized the seriousness of the matter. The ANBU was the Hokage's thug, and the ANBU captain was a high-level figure. In theory, his status, influence and power in Konoha were much stronger than any ninja clan leader.

However, the young ninja still didn't understand the seriousness of the matter.

Just listen to Uchiha Shisui continue to say, "Of course the War Master and Kage are just the secret code names of the ANBU, but the actual identities of these two people are not actually secret. They use the ANBU code names just to respect the rules and traditions of the ANBU. . Specifically, the identities of the ANBU commander and his deputy are... Sarutobi Shinsuke and his wife."

"Sarutobi... Shinsuke..."

Uchiha Shisui's voice was a little difficult, "Well... the captain of Konoha's ANBU is the eldest son of the Third Hokage."

"..."

Uchiha Itachi came to the outskirts of the crowd. He wanted to step forward, but after hearing Shisui's explanation from a distance, he stopped in his tracks, then silently turned around and left... What happened here involved the village. The eldest son, so at this time no one pays attention to the fate of the patriarch's son.

"Can you destroy the corpse..."

Someone was about to come up with a bad idea when suddenly, sharp whistles came from all over Konoha. Not to mention that it is impossible to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces. Even if the corpse and the crime scene can be destroyed, Konoha Anbu can track it down with only other clues. After destroying the corpses and eradicating traces, is it necessary to kill people and silence them? With so many Uchiha ninjas present, could they all remain tight-lipped and say nothing?

Explain rationally to Konoha and help catch the murderer? If things happened to the Hyuga clan, Konoha would definitely be willing to do this, but this is Uchiha... Let's not say that Konoha doesn't believe in Uchiha, and Uchiha doesn't believe in Konoha at all.

Some people are already thinking this... Konoha finally found an excuse to completely destroy the Uchiha clan. This is even a legitimate excuse, because the Uchiha clan has no excuse for the death of Sarutobi Shinsuke.

The nature of this incident at the moment will be more serious for the Uchiha clan than the previous Nine-Tails Incident that resulted in the death of the Fourth Hokage. After all, the responsibility for this incident is clear no matter how you look at it, it belongs to the Uchiha.

Now it doesn't matter who did it, whether it was the murderer or not, what matters is how to deal with it next.

"Fugaku, it's time to get ready." A gray-haired Uchiha elder said to Fugaku.

This was also said to all the Uchiha ninjas present.

It is undeniable that the Third Hokage is a rational and tolerant person, and what he values ​​most is the core interests of Konoha. But the question is who can guarantee that the current Third Hokage can still remain rational. Naruto is old and has a twilight spirit about him, and now his most cherished eldest son is dead. The cause of death of this eldest son is murder!

Sarutobi Nosuke had been in battle for a long time and died in the war. That was benevolence, but what about dying in Uchiha?

It can be said that once this scapegoat is taken away, the Uchiha clan will no longer have any room for change. And after thinking about it carefully, I found that this can't be regarded as a scapegoat, even though they seem a bit innocent... Uchiha Obito, isn't he still an Uchiha?
Uchiha Fugaku opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything. He could only nod... It's not that ANBU had never died in Uchiha, but this time the nature was too serious.

Uchiha Shisui wanted to retort, but Fugaku stretched out his hand to stop him, "Shisui, we will talk in detail later."

Then he continued to arrange, "Leave two people here to guard the scene. If any Konoha ninjas arrive, hand the body to them. Don't get entangled or conflict... The rest of you, follow me back to the shrine." The end is coming. The Uchiha clan, on the other hand, no longer had the arrogant and unruly temperament they had before. Instead, they were more resentful of fighting for their own good.

…………

Most of the Uchiha ninja followed the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku to the Uchiha clan's Nanga Shrine, including Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Fugaku called Shisui into a room alone. He lowered his voice and said, "I will try my best to suppress the voices of riots within the clan, and at the same time assist the ANBU to find out the truth. There is something fishy about the death of Sarutobi Shinsuke. He is a top elite jounin." , Who can kill him silently? There is no such ninja in the Uchiha clan! Naruto also understands that as long as the truth is found, everything still needs to be discussed!"

These words seemed sincere, but in fact they had other intentions. The rift between Konoha and Uchiha could only get bigger and bigger. It was too difficult to restore trust, and Fugaku didn't dare to gamble.

Uchiha Shisui, after hearing these words, trusted the clan leader.

"Clan leader, I will work hard to maintain communication channels between the village and the clan."

"Also, if it comes to an emergency situation, I will not choose to fight, but will flee with the Uchiha clan. You have to understand my helplessness. It is already my responsibility not to cause more damage to Konoha. It's the limit, I hope the village won't kill them all," Fugaku said again.

Escape from Konoha, this may be Fugaku's real plan, because he understands the strength comparison between the two sides. He, the patriarch, is sober, and what he wants is not rebellion, but division.

However, there was still a problem with his words, as if it was Konoha's fault to kill them all. But in fact, once Uchiha escapes, Konoha will use all its strength to destroy it. There is no room for negotiation, and the reason does not even need to be explained.

But Shisui didn't notice the contradiction in these words, because he is the kind of person who hopes for the best for both parties. In his opinion, it is better for Uchiha to leave than for Uchiha and Konoha to fight to the death... Obviously, he is too idealistic and does not understand politics very well.

Then, Uchiha Fugaku chatted with Uchiha Shisui in detail for half an hour, which made Shisui feel a lot more at ease, because the clan leader and him had the same idea. As long as everyone works together, the result will definitely not be the worst... ...Before, Fugaku had never explained his thoughts to Shisui in such detail.

"Okay, you go and do your own business. I'll try to appease everyone." Half an hour later, Fugaku felt that time was almost up, so he said to Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui nodded, "Clan Leader, we will work together from two directions and work together to solve the current problem."

"Okay." Uchiha Fugaku said with a smile.

In the strange eyes of other tribesmen, Uchiha Shisui left Nanga Shrine excitedly, and then he walked quickly towards the Hokage's office building. He had to explain the current matter to the Hokage, and he must convey it well. The meaning of the patriarch.

However, when he arrived in front of the Hokage's office building, he was instantly blocked by four teams of ANBU ninjas.

A total of sixteen ninjas were ready.

"Everyone, I want to see the Sandaime. I have something important to report."

The ninja who led the team said in an indifferent voice, "Uchiha Shisui, your eyes are too dangerous. How can I let you come into contact with the Hokage at this time?"

"..."

This reaction made Uchiha Shisui unexpected, because the village's senior officials had always supported his actions, but why did their attitude suddenly change at such a critical period?

"Why? Everyone, this is a very urgent situation concerning the village and Uchiha."

"Why?" The leader of the team felt that Uchiha Shisui was unreasonable. "What are you asking? You have already made a choice between the village and Uchiha."

"what?"

"Uchiha Shisui, let me ask you, when you saw the specific situation, why didn't you report it to Lord Hokage as soon as possible. Is this how you repaid the trust of Lord Hokage and the higher-ups? Then what did you do? What did you do? Conspiracy with Uchiha!"

Zhisui's face, which had just recovered before, became bloodless again. He was speechless and understood why he was being treated like this now.

At such a critical moment, he first followed the Uchihas to Nanga Shrine, and then stayed there for more than half an hour. From the village's point of view, this was already a sign of standing in line.

No wonder, no wonder Chief Fugaku would communicate with him so seriously and cordially.

Uchiha Shisui lacked political sensitivity. If he really wanted to clear up the misunderstanding, he should have come to the Hokage to report as soon as he saw the body, so that the village would continue to retain trust in him, but he Following the steps of the Uchiha clan in a daze shows that he is very unreliable politically.

Since Uchiha Shisui was not one of their own, how could the ANBU ninjas let him see the Third Hokage. Perhaps the Hokage himself is willing to meet him at this time, but the Hokage will not receive Uchiha Shisui's application at all. This is what the so-called subordinates do. Uchiha Shisui is too dangerous.

At this point in time, there was absolutely nothing wrong with ANBU ninjas doing this. They just performed their duties faithfully.

The only thing to blame was Shisui himself not being sharp enough.

For Uchiha Fugaku, whether the Uchiha clan chooses to passively protect themselves, break out of the siege and escape, or fight to the death, Uchiha Shisui's combat effectiveness is indispensable.

But the problem is that Shisui himself is too naive. He is still praying for peace, as if he cannot understand the dangerous situation at this time.

Since Uchiha Shisui is unwilling to take sides, then Uchiha Fugaku can only help him take sides. Uchiha Fugaku didn't need Uchiha Shisui to be of the same mind as him. Didn't Shisui not want to see both sides bleed? Now it was Uchiha who was bleeding, so could Shisui just watch?

Shisui wants to protect both Konoha and the Uchiha clan. For Uchiha Fugaku, if the Uchiha clan wants to take the initiative to rebel, then Uchiha Shisui will undoubtedly be an obstacle, but if Konoha wants to deal with Uchiha If so, there is no need for Fugaku to persuade him, Shisui will know what he should do.

Doing things for both sides, but not being regarded as one of them by either side, this is the path Uchiha Shisui chose.

As long as Uchiha Fugaku delays Shisui's actions, then at this critical moment, the trust Shisui has established in Konoha's top management will be instantly wiped out. After all, he trusted you just to let you play a role at the critical moment. Now the critical moment is here. , what is your role?
All I can say is that playing politics with your heart is dirty.
