The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

After hearing Danzo's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent, took out his pipe and started smoking again.

As the strongest Hokage in history, he must be a bright being. How could he attack his loyal subordinates?

He is very confident about his glorious image in Shisui's mind, and believes in Shisui's loyalty to the village and himself.

However, Uchiha Shisui's eye technique was too extreme, completely beyond his control. He couldn't take even a tiny risk. If Shisui was bewitched by the Uchiha family and used Kotoamatsukami on himself, wouldn't the entire Konoha fall under the evil rule of the Uchiha clan?

As the symbol of light protecting Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen would never allow such a thing to happen, but he couldn't say it too directly.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen hid his face in the smoke and gave his old friend a look that said you know what's going on.

The meaning in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes was: Trust Shisui, you lead the power of the Root as a supplement, supervise Uchiha Shisui to complete the brainwashing of Fugaku, and then take the opportunity to take action. All actions must be kept confidential.

This not only changed the thinking of the Uchiha clan leader, but also reduced the top combat power of the Uchiha clan and shocked the entire Konoha family.

Danzo Shimura quickly gave him a look that said "I understand", turned around and left with a proud and arrogant look.

As expected, she is my old friend. Sarutobi Hiruzen was very pleased! However, he did not expect that the meaning that Shimura Danzo understood was completely different from what she conveyed.

Danzo's eyes conveyed: I understand you, Hiruzen. I will kill Shisui as quickly as possible.

Deep down, Danzo was very excited. Once he took Uchiha Shisui's eyes, his dream would be just around the corner!

It can only be said that Sarutobi and Danzo did not have enough tacit understanding between them, and they also adopted a communication method that was so easily distorted.

After Shimura Danzo left, Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a while, then told the Anbu waiting outside the door, "Send someone to summon Uchiha Itachi."

This time Shisui is doomed to die, and there will be one less chess piece in his Uchiha clan, so he has to train him more intensively.

In the evening, Uchiha Shisui walked quickly towards the family gathering place.

This time, he has made up his mind to use the Bietian Divine Eye Technique to change the tense situation between the village and the family.

Thinking of his best friend Uchiha Itachi, the son of the clan leader who understood him and supported him so well, as well as the Hokage's complete trust in him, Shisui felt that he would definitely succeed.

Unexpectedly, when he was halfway there, he came across a deserted and dilapidated temple and Elder Shimura stopped him.

There were several unknown and ferocious statues on the side. Shisui felt that those angry eyes seemed to be staring at him, and he felt something uneasy in his heart.

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Uchiha Shisui asked, "Danzo-sama, is there something you want to stop me for? The meeting is about to begin."

Shimura Danzo lowered his head, the exposed half of his face showing a gloomy expression, and his tone was chilling. "If you used Kotoamatsukami on Uchiha Fugaku and changed the Uchiha clan's mind about rebellion, but the village did not change its attitude towards the Uchiha clan, what would you do?"

Knowing deep down that it would be difficult to deal with the Uchiha clan's awakened Mangekyō masters, Danzo Shimura did not choose to take direct action. Instead, he threw out a soul-searching question to shake Uchiha Shisui's resolve.

Shisui was even more confused, but he was still confident in the Hokage's promise, so he answered firmly, "Hokage-sama promised to make changes."

"Even if you convince Hiruzen, the villagers' suspicion of the Uchiha clan will not disappear."

Danzo was disdainful in his heart, thinking that he was so naive. Such a person could not control Kotoamatsukami, so he should leave it to me to protect Konoha.

"I understand. Just give me time and I will..."

Shisui tried to continue explaining his sincerity and plans, but was abruptly interrupted.

"What's more, there are people like me who are suspicious and will never change their minds easily. What will you do then?"

Danzo took the opportunity of conversation to close the distance, and the Sharingan hidden under the bandage was ready to activate at any time.

"Danzo-sama, please do not doubt..."

Shisui wanted to continue explaining but was interrupted by Danzo again, "Are you going to use Kotoamatsukami again and change my mind then?"

Taking advantage of the moment when Uchiha Shisui was shocked by the words, Danzo quickly stepped forward, pointed his hand directly at his eye sockets, and wanted to dig out his eyes!

"Leave these eyes of yours to me."

Uchiha Shisui was shocked, but his intuition from long-term battlefield combat allowed him to react quickly. He grabbed the wrist to intercept and performed the illusion in one go.

Despite being shocked and disappointed, Shisui did not proceed. He wanted to use Kotoamatsukami to change the clan leader's mind first, so that Elder Danzo's prejudice could be slowly eliminated.

"It's just an ordinary illusion, it will be lifted soon."

Just as Shisui got up and rushed to the clan meeting place, Danzo, who had been drooping and dazed, suddenly appeared in front of him, punched him in the abdomen with a heavy punch, temporarily making him unable to resist, and then quickly gouged out one of Shisui's eyes.

The piercing pain in his eyes was nothing compared to Shisui's inner sorrow of being unable to save his family and village. What followed was the Sharingan that Elder Danzo revealed to dispel illusions, which chilled him to the bone!

While Shisui was adjusting his physical and mental state, Danzo had already replaced his own eyes with Shisui's and summoned a group of Root ninjas.

"Fire Style! Great Fireball Technique", Uchiha Shisui suppressed the pain in his body and mind, and sent out a huge fireball towards Danzo and the Root Ninja.

"Water Style! Water Wave!" These Root ninjas were well prepared and simultaneously launched a counterattack. The scene was immediately covered in steam caused by the impact of water and fire. Shisui immediately used the instant body technique and left.

Outside the Uchiha clan's territory, Uchiha Itachi had been waiting for Shisui's arrival, but he didn't expect that what he saw in the end was the miserable appearance of his good friend.

Just like in the original work, Uchiha Shisui gave his only remaining eye to Uchiha Itachi, leaving behind the final inheritance of responsibility!

Uchiha Shisui retreated towards the cliff behind him, "If I die, the situation will definitely change. The family coup will also end. I have left a suicide note."

"Wait a minute, Shisui," Uchiha Itachi rushed forward to grab Shisui's hand.

But Uchiha Shisui was very determined. He fell back off the cliff, smiled in the air and uttered the last words: "Don't stop me, if you still consider me a friend."

Shisui's figure finally disappeared in the dark environment. Uchiha Itachi felt that in the last scene, in Shisui's empty eye sockets with blood, there seemed to be a pair of bright eyes looking at him and the village he loved.

Accompanied by severe pain, Uchiha Itachi suddenly closed his eyes and felt several hot streams dripping from his eye sockets. When he opened his eyes again, the world was different!

Don't worry, Shisui, I will protect the glory of Konoha and the Uchiha clan. Feeling the changes in his eyes, Uchiha Itachi made up his mind.
