Naruto: This Uchiha is too Evil - Chapter 17

This matter involved two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan.
Wherever they were, they were a formidable force that couldn’t be ignored.
Konoha, already in turmoil, now faced even more undercurrents.

Many major ninja clans began to reduce the number of missions for their ninjas.
Many doubted Itsuki’s words, believing that not a single truth came out of his mouth.
Even dogs wouldn’t believe him.

However, who dared to gamble?
What if it was true?
This concerned entire ninja clans!

Itsuki aimed precisely for this mindset.
He loved seeing people who didn’t believe him have no choice but to follow his plans.
HThey couldn’t avoid paying because hehad sacrificed his Mangekyo Sharingan,
Although the eyes were still in his hands, the pain of being gouged out was real.

Moreover, some people vaguely knew there was a Wood Release user, just with little detail.
Never underestimate those ninja clans that existed since Konoha’s founding.
Their influence was deeply entrenched, surviving the Warring States period, and they certainly had their ways of survival.

Additionally, existence leaves traces.
Let alone this Wood Release user had undertaken missions outside; it was impossible to evade everyone’s sight.

Danzo and the Third Hokage began to suspect each other.
Danzo believed Sarutobi Hiruzen took the Mangekyo Sharingan because he had already taken the Wood Release user.
The Third Hokage thought if Danzo could create one Wood Release user, why not a second?
This one-eyed man probably had several Wood Release users up his sleeve.

Danzo, the Third Hokage: He’s hiding something!

Hokage’s Office

The four guardians of Konoha gathered once more.
“Have you ever considered that this could be an act orchestrated by Uchiha Itsuki himself? He’s making fools out of all of us!” Danzo’s voice grew colder.

Yesterday, after Uchiha Itsuki woke up, the high-ranking officials of Konoha, major ninja clans, and representatives of civilian ninjas held a meeting.
The results were not favorable to Danzo.
He was fuming inside.

“Everyone is suspicious, but does it help?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen said coldly, “Shisui had the Mangekyo Sharingan, it’s possible he orchestrated it, but what about Itsuki? Did anyone know he had the Mangekyo? Before today, no one knew.”

“As for that Uchiha Muto, the registered Uchiha Jounin in the village doesn’t include him. Who knows where he came from.”

“Besides, Tenzo! His Wood Release targets not just the Tailed Beasts, but also the Uchiha. Many have deliberately hidden information about the Uchiha. Would that irresponsible brat Itsuki know about it?”

Hiruzen’s face darkened;
Shisui’s attitude was also strange!
He seemed to be hiding something.

They didn’t trust Shisui but acknowledged his love for the village.
So, was his silence to protect someone?

Danzo and Hiruzen’s gazes met, and stared profoundly at each other.
After a long while,
Homura Mitokado sighed, “What do we do now?”

“Investigate slowly!”
Hiruzen’s face grew even older.
He was over sixty, an advanced age for a ninja, and his physical and mental states were no longer what they used to be.
Yet, he couldn’t let go of such power.

Danzo stood coldly, saying, “I’m not one to wait passively.”
“Danzo!” Hiruzen scolded, “You better not act recklessly. The Uchiha are a powder keg right now. If something happens, I can’t protect you.”

“Hmph!”
The only response was a cold snort.
With the sound of his cane hitting the floor, Hiruzen sighed deeply.

As the main character left, Homura and Koharu exchanged glances and bid farewell to Hiruzen.
When he was finally alone in the room, Hiruzen muttered to himself,
“Is this a scheme? There are flaws everywhere. If it’s a scheme, why is it so rough?”
“If it’s not, Danzo, what are you planning to do?”

After chatting with Itsuki for a while, Jiraiya left with a sentence: “If you need help, just ask.”
Kurenai went to see him off.
At this moment,
The ward door opened, and someone entered, silently watching Itsuki.

Itsuki raised his head slightly and looked at him.
Neither of them spoke.
Itsuki broke the silence, “Shisui, don’t you think we’re being stupid? Two blind people, staring at each other. Can you see me, or can I see you?”

The visitor was indeed Shisui.
With his system, Itsuki had long become a sensory ninja. Shisui’s every move couldn’t escape his perception.
“Why did you do this?”
Shisui’s voice was low.

When he woke up,
From Itachi, he learned what had happened and almost lost his mind.
Itsuki usually liked to fool around, but it was too outrageous this time.
Moreover, he was worried about his Mangekyo falling into the wrong hands.
Kotoamatsukami’s effect was too terrifying.
It could trigger a world war.

Itsuki countered, “Shisui, do you think I did it? That I gouged out your eyes?”
Shisui remained silent.

“Oh my God!” Itsuki let out a soft sob, muttering, “My brother suspects me? Boohoo! I don’t want to live anymore.”
Shisui, expressionless, said, “You don’t have eyes. How are you crying? Tears from empty eye sockets? Do you want to describe the feeling?”

Itsuki: “…”

“Shisui, you’ve grown up.”
Itsuki sighed.
Shisui remained indifferent.

Itsuki smiled lightly, “Alright, to be honest, it was me. I won’t hide it from you!”
Shisui’s voice involuntarily rose, “Why?”

Itsuki’s voice was airy as if it could dissipate at any moment.
“For Konoha!”
“What?”
Shisui had considered countless answers, but this wasn’t one of them.
Itsuki repeated, “For Konoha!”

“Go on!”
Shisui took a deep breath.
Before coming, he was curious if Itsuki did it.
Because Itsuki also lost his eyes.
Hearing Itsuki admit it, he felt relieved.
At least Itsuki wasn’t hiding from him, unlike the excuses he gave to Hiruzen.

Itsuki glanced at Shisui.
Initially, he planned to tease him, but now he’s seeing Shisui. Forget it!
Teasing him further would break him.
It is better to speak some truth and let him relax.
Sustainable development means not treating Shisui as a disposable tool, used once and thrown away.
That would be impolite!

While Shisui was vulnerable, it was time to show his strength!

“I am a genius of the Uchiha clan, a Jonin at just over ten years old. Shisui, you know my strength.”
“…Continue!”

“Strength brings status, naturally attracting followers!” Itsuki smiled, “So, in the Uchiha, I am not without a foundation. On the contrary, I have several Jonin under me, to be exact, six!”
“They are scattered throughout the Uchiha, collecting information for me.”

Jonin?!
Shisui’s hand trembled slightly.
The Uchiha had nearly thirty Jonin; secretly, there were a few more, totaling around forty.
That was more than a tenth of Konoha’s Join!
Such was the strength of Konoha’s strongest clan.
But!
Among these forty Jonin were Itsuki, Shisui, and even Fugaku, and elders like Zongyi and Setsuna!
The clan head and elders also had their loyal followers.
Removing them, where did Itsuki get six Jonin to serve him?

With Jonin serving him, what about ordinary Uchiha?
Shisui suddenly felt a chill, as if his bones were exuding coldness.
He had never truly understood his brother.
Six Uchiha Jonin, led by Itsuki, was a force that couldn’t be ignored anywhere.
Unconsciously, Itsuki had become the fourth faction within the Uchiha, outside the clan head’s faction, the Dove faction, and the Hawk faction.

Ridiculously, Shisui had always treated him as a naughty kid!
Yet, he had already become a king.
