Naruto: The secret in the wood escape barrier

"Shisui, Shisui, he——"

"Yes, it's just as you thought, he's dead." Qing Ji replied coldly.

At this time, Fugaku was so angry that he was trembling all over, and the instigator was right in front of him, but he had no way to kill him, because the current situation was indeed as Qingji said, even if Qingji was killed here, the Uchiha clan would not be able to kill him. It is difficult to have an opportunity to negotiate peace with Konoha on an equal footing.

Keiji pointed at the Sharingan in Fugaku's hand.

"Huh huh huh... You can take it back and check it yourself. It's absolutely true." Qing Ji's mouth was crooked and he smiled coldly.

Fugaku looked at the Sharingan in his hand, and in front of his eyes appeared the energetic Shisui who was chatting with him not long ago. But at this time, the Sharingan in front of him was alone in a container, as if he was telling the world It declares the misfortune of its owner and tells his injustice that he cannot rest in peace.

This eye no longer has freedom, just like its owner experienced the tragic fate of being unable to choose.

At this time, this Sharingan seemed to be weeping blood. It desperately wanted to break free from its imprisonment and regain freedom.

Fugaku's hands were still trembling. This sudden change caught him off guard. Like Shisui, he was forced into this situation for no reason.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Qing Ji: "Where is Zhisui's body?"

"It has been burned." Qing Ji answered lightly, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Burned..." Fugaku felt sorry for Shisui. He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and continued to ask: "Then why is there only one eye here and the other one?"

"Snatched by people sent by Konoha."

"How is that possible? Why does Konoha want to steal Shisui's eyes?"

"Because Konoha sent people to secretly cooperate with Shisui," Qingji said matter-of-factly: "It turned out that Shisui was dead. As soon as Shisui died, he naturally wanted to recover his Sharingan. Everyone knows that Shisui's Sharingan is a Konoha naturally refuses to hand over such a sharp weapon to others."

"Where is the person you were talking about?"

"Already ran away."

"How can you prove that he is from Konoha?"

"Fugaku, I can't prove it, but you should understand that the result is the same. We don't have much time left. Regardless of whether this person is from Konoha or not, Konoha will know about Shisui's death sooner or later. By then, it will turn into a massacre of Uchiha. Konoha is like this. Instead of being killed, it is better for us to do it now——"

Shock, anger, regret, despair...

The fire of hope that had just been ignited in my heart not long ago was completely extinguished.

A few black clouds obscured the sun as it gradually rose into the sky. The light and shadow in the room overlap, reflecting on Fugaku's face, just like his struggling heart.

The wind in the courtyard also changed from its previous softness. It roared through the trees, blew through the corridor, and poured into the room.

"It's changed."

Qing Ji raised his eyes and looked at the clouds outside the window and said.

The cold wind blew across his cheeks, and the chill was overwhelming. It was like a knife cutting Fugaku's face, but it hurt in his heart.

He knew very well what he was facing now.

Shisui was dead, and there was no way out. Even if Minato had the intention, other people in Konoha's top management would think that the Uchiha side was sabotaging negotiations and attempting a military coup, and they would definitely join forces to kill him.

Nowadays, it is true that the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string.

"Yes... the weather has changed..." Finally, after a long silence, Fugaku looked up at the sky outside the window and sighed longly.
