11-15

Chapter 11: Awakening

Inside the Hokage's office, the sounds of arguing filled the air.

Danzo argued fiercely, holding his ground against the other three without backing down. No matter what they said, he wouldn't produce the Mangekyo Sharingan. He stood firm, his aura and presence commanding.

However, despite his outward bravado, Danzo was feeling the strain internally.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other two advisors were convinced that Danzo was the one responsible and demanded he hand over the Mangekyo Sharingan.

"You seriously injured two of the Uchiha's geniuses. I promised you one Sharingan, and you're still not satisfied? Danzo, you can't be too greedy!" they argued.

Danzo, on the other hand, believed it was Hiruzen who orchestrated the incident. As Hiruzen had pointed out, this was an inside job. It was impossible for shinobi from other villages to have done it. Within Konoha, there was almost no one capable of such a feat. If anyone could, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the man who had held the position of Hokage for decades—longer than the combined tenures of the First, Second, and Fourth Hokage. Who knew how much power he had amassed in secret?

Hiruzen, in turn, understood Danzo well. He knew Danzo had connections with rogue shinobi like Orochimaru and who knew how many other dangerous missing-nin he had recruited. He certainly had the means to pull off such an act.

Their argument continued until Kakashi returned.

"What did the Uchiha say?" The four men fixed their gazes on Kakashi.

As the largest clan in Konoha, no one could ignore them, especially those red-eyed maniacs.

Kakashi shook his head. "They didn't say much. They just told me what happened."

He added, "They even allowed me to investigate on my own, giving me complete access to the Uchiha's core area. They didn't even assign anyone to follow me. They just nodded casually as I left, as if they didn't care."

The four men fell silent. This was not a good sign. Calmness was often the prelude to an explosion.

Hiruzen turned to glare at Danzo.

"Danzo, see what you've done!" his eyes seemed to say.

Danzo glared back, undeterred, despite having only one eye. "Hiruzen, if you keep playing the victim, I'll have to turn against you," his gaze retorted.

"Sigh," Hiruzen sighed heavily. "With the Uchiha's recent situation and now this incident..."

The Uchiha's recent actions had become more overt. They were preparing for a coup to reclaim the Hokage position. For the four who currently held the village's power, this was a direct threat. They would not give up their power without a fight. But those red-eyed maniacs were formidable, making the situation even more complicated.

Danzo stated coldly, "We should strike first and eliminate them."

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Shut up!"

His suggestion was met with unanimous opposition from the other three.

Given the recent incident, the Uchiha would be on high alert, with security tighter than ever. An attack would mean a direct confrontation with heavy losses on both sides. The Uchiha had over thirty Jonin in their ranks, and it took at least three regular Jonin to handle one Uchiha Jonin. Who knew how many more were hidden?

Most concerning were the Mangekyo Sharingan. Shisui and Itsuki had them, but was there a third user among the Uchiha? The Uchiha were the victims now, having had their brightest talents' eyes gouged out. Attacking them now under such circumstances would only backfire. They couldn't expect other clans to support an assault on the wronged party. Using only the Sarutobi, Shimura, Utatane, and Mitokado clans was out of the question.

"Let's try to placate them for now," Hiruzen said solemnly. "But be prepared for anything. Danger is near."

The others nodded in agreement.

Danzo, however, snorted derisively. "Always so soft, Hiruzen. You acknowledge the threat but refuse to act preemptively. Foolish!"

Hiruzen glared at Danzo coldly. "Danzo, think carefully about what to do next. The Uchiha won't stop their investigation. You better hope you don't leave any evidence behind, or else..."

Danzo left in a huff. "So, you still think it was me?"

Despite his anger, the other three saw his fury as a sign of guilt.

"Greedy bastard!" Hiruzen muttered.

...

When Itsuki opened his eyes, the strong smell of disinfectant told him his plan had worked. Although he was in pain and couldn't see, he felt a sense of relief. The next phase could begin!

Yes, he had taken both pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan himself, severely injuring Shisui and himself in process

His primary goals were to ensure Shisui's survival and to acquire the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. In the original story, after Shisui's Mangekyo ability was revealed, Hiruzen and the others grew wary. Danzo attempted to take the Mangekyo, and although Shisui escaped, he lost one eye. Traumatized and fearing his eyes could cause conflict, he gave one to Itachi and committed suicide, pretending he had destroyed his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Itsuki found this incredibly foolish. With such powerful abilities, Shisui's actions were shortsighted. He should have used Kotoamatsukami to control both Hiruzen and Fugaku. With them under his control, Shisui could have easily stabilized Konoha. Even more, he could have had them form an alliance or even marry, ensuring peace.

Itsuki often shook his head at his brother's lack of foresight but knew he had to act to save him. Hence, he took his brother's Mangekyo with a heavy heart. Itsuki's system would eventually allow him to achieve the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, though it would take longer—about six months.

At fifteen, he had time to wait.

As for preventing the Uchiha massacre, that would be easy. He could trigger a conflict between two villages...

"You've woken up."

A gentle voice interrupted his thoughts.

Itsuki kept his eyes closed, probing, "Kurenai? Is that you?"

Chapter 12: Silence Speaks Louder Than Words

"Mmm!" A soft hand entered his palm, and the gentle voice of the owner rang out again, "It's me, Kurenai Yuhi. I came."

"Didn't you say you didn't want to see me?" Itsuki's voice choked up, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Kurenai froze.

When did she ever say she didn't want to see him? She clearly wanted to beat him to death!

Itsuki was the first person in the entire shinobi world to openly declare that he wanted to have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines.

At the time, Kurenai didn't understand what this meant. What palaces, what courtyards, what seventy-two...?

After understanding it clearly, Kurenai's family never opened their door to Itsuki again.

The once fiery love abruptly ended.

"Go as far away as you can!" she thought.

"Why aren't you speaking?" Itsuki sniffled and said, "Do you know you were wrong?"

Kurenai's eye twitched.

Goodness! My fault? What did I do wrong? Should I not have stopped you from achieving your grand dream?

Do you believe I won't beat you to death with a stick right now!

But!

Looking at Itsuki's intentionally raised hands and covered eyes, occasionally letting out slight sobs, Kurenai felt genuinely helpless.

This guy had his eyes gouged out, yet it felt like it had become his weapon.

She was caught off guard and powerless against him!

"Alright, alright!" Kurenai said weakly, "I was wrong, okay?"

Itsuki's voice quivered with a sob, "Are you admitting mistake?"

Kurenai: "..."

That's enough!

If you push me any further, I'll hang you up and beat you!

"No!" Kurenai grasped Itsuki's hand firmly, her elegant voice mixed with determination, "Itsuki, I genuinely know I was wrong. Please forgive me."

I shouldn't have met you!

No, I should have knocked you out with a stick when you pursued me!

Itsuki nodded in satisfaction.

During their conversation, people had gradually entered the hospital room, watching the two in silent dismay.

What should they say?

Back then, Itsuki's pursuit of Kurenai Yuhi was so intense that almost the entire Konoha knew about it.

However!

No one believed they would last. Kurenai was six years older than Itsuki.

Their personalities didn't seem compatible at all.

Or rather, who could endure Itsuki's crazy antics?

Especially not Kurenai, who was admired by countless young shinobi.

Moreover, many knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi intended Kurenai to marry his younger son, Asuma, making her his daughter-in-law.

Was this an interception?

At this moment, Kurenai was not even twenty-two, just an ordinary special Jonin specializing in genjutsu.

Apart from being beautiful and having a good figure, there was nothing particularly outstanding about her.

However!

Her father was Yuhi Shinku, known as the Red Sunset of Konoha, one of the best genjutsu users at the time, who died during the Nine-Tails' attack.

His genjutsu was said to be so advanced that even the Sharingan couldn't copy it.

If that was all, it wouldn't be a big deal, as even the greatest shinobi die someday.

But he had another significant identity: Konoha's shinobi instructor.

He was responsible for teaching Konoha's Chunin and Genin.

Who knows how many people benefited from his guidance?

Many of those shinobi had already become Jonin.

That's potential!

If they were asked to die for Kurenai, it wouldn't happen, but in many situations, they wouldn't mind helping her.

If she were to compete for the Hokage position, this help would be considerable, stronger than many shinobi clans.

So, with Asuma, guided by hints from the Hokage, constantly approaching Kurenai, and numerous ordinary shinobi pursuing her...

Yet, Kurenai ended up with Itsuki, a seemingly unserious kid in many people's eyes.

Who knows how many jaws dropped at the time?

At this moment, many people unintentionally glanced at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Seeing his face darken.

What are you looking at?

As if there's something between me and Kurenai!

Inside the hospital room, a brief silence fell.

"Itsuki, what really happened?" Kurenai couldn't help but ask.

This question brought everyone's attention back.

If possible, they absolutely didn't want to see Itsuki.

He was a troublesome little demon!

He made you feel helpless and frustrated from the inside out.

Everyone present had felt that pain, the pain from Itsuki!

But!

This incident was too significant.

From Konoha's top four, Uchiha clan leader, and two elders, to ordinary clan representatives, almost everyone came.

Itsuki asked in return, "Where's my brother?"

Fugaku Uchiha replied in a deep voice, "Shisui has woken up, but he hasn't said anything. He's been silent."

Oh, my foolish oniisan... no, my dear brother!

He hasn't said a word!

Even though he drank my tea and fell unconscious!

My efforts in gouging out your eyes to save your life weren't in vain!

"Sigh!" Itsuki sighed.

Where could you find such a brother who cared for his sibling so much!

"No need to sigh!" Danzo's sinister voice sounded, "Say what you need to. Don't think about lying. Let me tell you..."

The moment Danzo spoke, Itsuki's body trembled violently.

His expression turned fearful.

Danzo's words were abruptly cut off.

"Hmm?"

This scene drew many eyes to Danzo.

The Uchiha high-ups' gazes were especially sharp.

Goodness!

It really was you!

Danzo Shimura!

You have some nerve to dare break into our Uchiha territory and harm our geniuses!

We won't let this go!

Danzo: "..."

Judging by your reaction, could it really be me?

But why do I have no recollection of it?

Hiruzen, what exactly did you do?

"Ahem!" Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed dryly, glaring at Danzo.

I didn't want you to come in the first place.

You insisted on coming!

Happy now?

You did something, didn't you? Don't you have any idea?

Do you think everyone else is a fool?

Hiruzen turned his head, about to speak with a smile, but suddenly froze.

Many people's eyes were on him.

Because!

Itsuki trembled even more violently upon hearing his voice.

"Heh!" Uchiha Itachi let out a cold laugh.

That laugh spoke volumes.

It was just short of directly pointing at Hiruzen and saying: it was you two who did it.

Itsuki might not have said anything, but his expression said it all.

Hiruzen's face turned green.

Danzo, on the other hand, had a few more traces of disdain in his eyes.

Hiruzen, do you have no idea what you've done?

"What is going on here?" Mitokado Homura couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Uchiha Itsuki, speak up. Stop trembling and tell us everything you know. I'm warning you, stop acting mysterious!"

And so, Itsuki's trembling intensified.

As Kurenai held his hand, she couldn't hear murmur, "Scared..."

Mitokado Homura: "..."

The Uchiha's gazes turned even sharper.

Goodness, you were involved too.

There are four of you; we're still missing one!

Koharu Utatane, sensing the subtle stares, couldn't take it anymore.

She stepped forward and said angrily, "What do you mean? Uchiha Itsuki, are you implying that Hiruzen, Danzo, and Homura did this?"

Itsuki's response was to grab the blanket, cover his head, and hide under it.

Konoha's top four: "..."

He didn't say anything, but the blame pointed straight at them.

Goodness gracious!

It can be done this way!

 (End of Chapter)

Chapter 13 Who Do You Want It To Be?

"Uchiha Itsuki!!!"

A roar echoed.

elder Mito glared at Itsuki, gritting his teeth and saying, "What exactly do you mean? You haven't said a word, pretending to be mysterious, what are you trying to do? You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

The representatives of the Hyuga clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, and other ninja clans were all looking at Itsuki suspiciously, their doubts growing.

The main reason was Itsuki's past behavior, which was a bit explosive.

Every single one of them had been thoroughly toyed with by him.

The current situation naturally made them even more suspicious.

Simply put, it didn't fit Itsuki's character.

He wasn't one to take a loss.

It was always his enemies who suffered.

Besides, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo were one thing, but what were Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu doing there?

They were a pair of incompetent fools.

You had them infiltrate the Uchiha's core area, attack the Uchiha genius, and even succeed...

It wasn't that they looked down on them, it was that they despised them!

Itsuki remained silent, covering his head with a blanket.

Fugaku, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly said, "Itsuki, the Uchiha clan members are all here, Elder Homura is also here, if you have anything to say, just say it, the clan members support you."

Hearing this, Itsuki, who had just been trembling, suddenly froze.

He carefully poked his head out and said, "Clan leader? You're here?"

"Yes, I am!"

"Will you always be here?"

"Yes!"

"Liar, don't you poop? You're holding it in!"

Fugaku: "..."

Itsuki suddenly said in horror, "You're not going to poop here, are you?"

Fugaku took a deep breath.

Calm down!

Must stay calm!

The more critical the moment, the calmer one must be.

Fortunately, Itsuki let him off the hook.

"Elder Homura?"

"Ahem, I'm here too, we're all here!" Homura quickly said, "Child, don't be afraid, the clan leader and I, and Elder Setsuna are all here, the Uchiha clan members are also here, we will take turns protecting you here, don't worry, no one can bully you."

There was some regret in his voice, and his expression towards Hiruzen and Danzo was filled with hatred.

Because Kurenai Yuhi was by Itsuki's side, they didn't get close, but they forgot that Itsuki, who had just been attacked and lost his sight, should be very scared... right?

"Is it really you?"

There was some doubt in Itsuki's voice.

"Yes!"

Homura said softly, "Don't worry about us being fake, I can tell you some secrets that only we know."

"Oh!" Itsuki thought for a moment and said, "Then tell me in detail, why does Lord Danzo hate me so much?"

As soon as he said this, the entire room fell silent.

Kurenai couldn't help but pinch Itsuki hard.

He had to cause trouble, didn't he?

The Third Hokage reacted the fastest, grabbing Danzo with a backhand, otherwise, the enraged Root leader would have already pounced on Itsuki like a tiger.

He would definitely strangle him to death!

You dare to mention this again!

I'll fight you to the death!

The others were also speechless.

It was indeed the same Itsuki!

After confirming his identity, the trembling and fear from earlier were definitely fake, all an act.

"Itsuki!"

Fugaku's voice became deep, "This is not the time for jokes, this is a very serious matter, it concerns all of us."

Don't you know why Danzo hates you?

You made him lose face, this is something that all the ninjas in Konoha know.

God knows how many people idolize you because of it.

Do you have to publicly expose this shame?

No!

You're not only exposing the shame, but you're also taking two photos and threatening to spread them.

Danzo was already fuming.

"Alright, alright, just a joke, to lighten the mood, do you have to be so serious!"

Under the dual scolding of Kurenai and Homura, Itsuki sighed deeply and said, "To be honest, I'm not sure what happened either."

The people present frowned slightly but patiently listened to Itsuki continue.

The people standing here didn't lack patience.

Even Danzo could quickly calm down in front of Itsuki... as long as Itsuki didn't continue to provoke him.

The Mangekyo Sharingan had that much charm.

"I was joking with Shisui and poured a pack of laxatives into his cup."

Seeming to notice everyone raising their eyebrows, Itsuki added, "A large amount, even Might Guy would have to stay in the bathroom for a day and be carried out on a stretcher."

Everyone's expressions were quite interesting.

Is that what we want to know?

You're just proving that you and Shisui are brothers!

And why use Might Guy as an example?

Oh, he's strong and calls himself a beast, so that's fine.

Itsuki continued, "At that time, the problem arose, someone switched my medicine."

"Switched?"

"Yes!" Itsuki said in a cheerful tone, "The medicine I gave Shisui was switched, and after he drank it, he fell into a coma, and that's how someone easily got their hands on him. Sigh, Shisui, he's not complete anymore."

"..."

You can't really say that's wrong.

Mitokado Homura asked, "What about you?"

"Me? I'm a medical ninja." Itsuki said, "I learned medical ninjutsu from Lady Tsunade, everyone here should know that."

Many people nodded subconsciously.

The Sannin all acknowledged Itsuki as their student, this was something everyone knew, which made many of them uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, Itsuki couldn't be easily touched, and Tsunade never paid attention to them, her temper was notoriously explosive.

After becoming the Fifth Hokage, she actually calmed down a bit.

The current Tsunade was the true Princess Tsunade!

Among the Sannin;

Orochimaru taught the deepest, truly treating Itsuki as a disciple.

Tsunade only taught medical ninjutsu.

As for Jiraiya... let's not mention him.

"I was also tricked, but I discovered it early and dealt with it in time. In my daze, I seemed to see someone walking towards me." Itsuki's voice became low, "I used all my strength and barely saw that it was..."

"Who?"

Fugaku's voice was filled with urgency.

The others were the same.

This involved two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan, anyone's eyes would turn green.

It would be best if they could get it themselves, but even if they couldn't, they had to find a way to destroy it.

"The following is paid content. Also, I want to ask, who do you want it to be?"

Everyone fell silent.

The oppressive atmosphere made Kurenai shiver.

She quickly pinched Itsuki and whispered, "Don't mess around at a time like this, be careful of getting scolded."

Oh my god!

All the big shots of Konoha were here, it could be said that the people here could definitely decide the course of the entire village.

Even her father would have to kneel here, yet Itsuki dared to tease them.

Itsuki closed his eyes and ignored Kurenai.

"Itsuki!" Homura said in a deep voice, "Look at the situation now, don't mess around."

Itsuki said helplessly, "Elder Homura, I also want to see what the situation is now, but the problem is, I can't see!"

Everyone was stunned, their expressions a bit strange.

Could it be that Itsuki wanted to...

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment and said, "Itsuki, if you have any requests, you can tell us."

"Lord Hokage is straightforward, you can't tell from his appearance."

The Third Hokage had just put on a perfunctory smile when he suddenly froze.

You can't tell from my appearance?

Damn it, what's wrong with my appearance?

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 14: The Mirror's Eyes!

The Third Hokage's eyes twitched.

What's wrong with my appearance?

Although I'm old now, I used to be a handsome man, famous throughout Konoha.

Why did Teacher Tobirama choose me?

Being handsome was one of the reasons!

Danzo and the others couldn't compare to me at all!

The Third Hokage's face turned pale, his expression grim.

He suddenly remembered a saying circulating in Konoha: Others jump around to practice taijutsu, the Third Hokage jumps around to imitate a monkey!

As evidenced by the Second Hokage's words, he even affectionately called the Third Hokage "monkey."

He felt like he had discovered the truth.

He knew who spread the rumor.

"Clan Leader Fugaku!"

"You speak, Itsuki!"

Itsuki said faintly, "My eyes are gone, I wonder if the clan can transplant a new pair of eyes for me?"

Eyes?

Transplant?

Sharingan!

The people present instantly understood Itsuki's plan.

Since the Mangekyo Sharingan was gone, he would transplant a pair of ordinary Sharingan, he couldn't stay blind forever.

As for whether there were spare Sharingan... The Uchiha clan definitely had them!

The Sharingan was the core strength of the Uchiha.

No one would believe that the Uchiha higher-ups hadn't secretly collected the eyes of their clan members.

The people present were all high-ranking officials of Konoha, they knew very well that several of the Uchiha's forbidden techniques required sacrificing eyes.

So, wasn't it normal to have a few spare eyes?

"Yes!"

Unexpectedly, it wasn't Fugaku who answered Itsuki, but Setsuna.

This old man, whose cold aura was no less than Danzo's, revealed a sinister smile and said, "I happen to have a good pair of three-tomoe Sharingan, Itsuki, I'll give them to you."

The ward fell silent again.

"Setsuna, what are you trying to do?"

Homura's gaze was unkind.

"What?" Setsuna retorted, "Homura, you don't want to transplant eyes for Itsuki?"

"Hmph!"

Homura snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

Transplant?

That was for sure!

Even without the Mangekyo Sharingan, Itsuki was still a genius ninja, a pair of ordinary Sharingan was enough for him to become one of the few powerful elite jonin.

But!

This pair of eyes was given by Setsuna of the hawks, it always made people feel that he had ulterior motives.

So, he directly said, "I also have a pair of eyes here, I'll give them to Itsuki."

Looking at Itsuki, he added, "Compared to the eyes in Setsuna's hands, I think Itsuki would want mine more, because mine are the eyes of your deceased father!"

Hearing this, even Uchiha Itsuki couldn't help but be stunned.

My father's eyes, how could they be with you?

Damn it, you touched my father's body!?

Facing the questioning gazes around him, Homura's expression remained calm.

However, Itsuki's words made him crack.

"You killed my father?"

Homura's mouth twitched.

Why would you think in that direction?

Can't you be normal?

I was an old friend of Kagami, I watched your father grow up, in your eyes, am I that sinister?

Homura quickly explained, "Itsuki's parents died in the Third Shinobi World War, at that time, I happened to be their captain, before dying, he hoped that I would take his Sharingan and give it to Itsuki and Shisui when they became adults, or when they were in danger."

Everyone present fell silent.

Uchiha gifting eyes!

An open secret.

The Sharingan had a wide range of uses, many jonin, if possible, would have their eyes removed before dying and leave them to the clan or their children.

Therefore, Homura's words were not questioned.

Setsuna sneered and said, "Even if the eyes in your hands belong to Itsuki's father, Itsuki may not choose them."

"What do you mean by that?"

Homura shouted.

Even without evidence, people would subconsciously think that the eyes of blood relatives were better.

The Uchiha were based on bloodline.

"Hehe!" Setsuna sneered, walked slowly to Itsuki, and whispered something in his ear.

Itsuki's expression couldn't help but become strange.

"Let's talk about this later!" Itsuki paused and said, "Lord Hokage, can I have a few words with you alone?"

Everyone fell silent, then left the ward in an orderly manner.

They already had a vague guess in their hearts.

Only two people were left in the room.

"Speak, what do you want?" The Third Hokage's words carried a hint of indifference.

He was already prepared for the other party to make exorbitant demands.

However, Itsuki broke the Hokage's indifference with a simple sentence.

"I want Kagami's eyes, Uchiha Kagami's!"

"What did you say?"

The Third Hokage shouted angrily, "How could I possibly have Kagami's eyes? Kagami was my comrade, the person my teacher Senju Tobirama valued the most, the inheritor of the Will of Fire, he died for Konoha on the battlefield, his body missing, where would I find his eyes?"

"I'll add money!"

"... No amount of money will do!"

Was this about money?

"Is that so?" Itsuki said in a troubled tone, "The main thing is, a few days ago, someone gave me a dream."

"A dream?" Sarutobi Hiruzen almost laughed out of anger.

At least find a decent excuse?

Someone gave you a dream, so you're sure that Uchiha Kagami's eyes are in my hands?

Did Senju Hashirama give you the dream?

"Yes!" Itsuki sighed, "I dreamed of Lord Tobirama, the Second Hokage told me that the eye Danzo covers with a bandage is Uchiha Kagami's Sharingan!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

He sighed and said, "Itsuki, I know you're feeling bad..."

"Why would I feel bad?" Itsuki asked in surprise, "I feel pretty good!"

"If I weren't injured, I'd even get up and dance for you."

"...You lost your eyes."

Itsuki shook his head repeatedly and said, "Lord Hokage, you have to believe me, the Mangekyo Sharingan is really not a good thing, it's the source of disaster."

"Losing it, I feel relieved."

"Just like back then, when Lord Danzo chased me for three miles naked with a knife, and I successfully escaped."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell silent.

Then you must feel really good.

But my feeling isn't so great.

Every time he faced Itsuki, he felt like he was facing a hedgehog, unable to find a place to start!

The ward fell completely silent.

After a long time.

Itsuki carefully asked, "Lord Hokage, are you still alive?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes twitched.

You should say: Lord Hokage, are you still there?

Forget it!

Sarutobi Hiruzen said faintly, "I'm still alive, are you disappointed?"

"How is that possible? If you were dead, I would definitely be very sad."

The Third Hokage smiled coldly.

Hypocrite!

His smile was so wide it almost reached the back of his head.

"I will ask Danzo, if Kagami's eyes are in his hands, I will give them to you."

"Not to me!" Itsuki corrected, "My eyes are ready, it's Shisui who needs eyes now."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed slightly, and the scales in his heart tipped again.

Uchiha Kagami's Sharingan was undoubtedly a very powerful pair of eyes.

He was really unwilling to give them to Itsuki, but if it was for Shisui, it seemed... not impossible to consider.

That child's Will of Fire could be felt from afar.

And!

Damn Danzo!

It's best if Kagami's eyes aren't with you, otherwise, you'll have to explain yourself to me.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

(End of Chapter)

Chapter 15: The Sudden Appearance of Wood Release!

Everyone returned to the ward.

They had to know about Itsuki and Shisui's situation, and the whereabouts of the two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Itsuki, who was it?" Fugaku asked.

"Itsuki is me, full name Uchiha Itsuki, male, fifteen years old..."

"Stop, stop, Itsuki!" Fugaku said weakly, "That's not what I asked, I asked who the person you saw was? Really, stop messing around, I order you as the clan leader!"

Itsuki said dissatisfiedly, "Then you should make it clear, you're already in your forties, both the clan leader and the captain of the Konoha Military Police Force, yet you can't even speak clearly, no wonder the Uchiha are declining, it turns out the leader is the problem."

"Clan leader, why are you leading everyone into a ditch?"

Fugaku: "..."

Damn it.

Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Homura, you two old geezers, why are you nodding in agreement!

So the Uchiha becoming like this is my fault.

Isn't this blame too heavy!

I can't carry it!

Fugaku suddenly felt that Danzo was quite handsome.

Itsuki's expression became serious, "Actually, when I was groggy, I didn't see one person, but several people, the clue is on one of them."

"What clue?"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

Itsuki pursed his lips, his expression struggling.

This scene made many people nervous.

Dude, stop messing around, just finish what you have to say, okay?

If you keep going, you'll really get beaten to death.

"Itsuki!"

Kurenai's eyes were sharp, gripping Itsuki's hand.

Itsuki sighed faintly.

These people are useless!

Their tolerance is too low, this is nothing!

Forget it, the eye-gouging incident should be over!

He couldn't wait to let these people experience other programs.

You know, to avoid the night of the clan's extermination, he had prepared several programs.

"First of all, I want to tell everyone that I was tricked at the time, my mind wasn't clear, so everything I saw may not be true."

Everyone remained silent.

Only Homura spoke.

"Just tell us, tell us everything you saw, whether it's true or not, we'll judge for ourselves."

"Okay!" Itsuki said energetically, "I suspect that the person who took my and Shisui's Sharingan is Senju Hashirama! That's right, the First Hokage!"

"..."

The entire room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Kurenai's expression was numb.

Senju Hashirama?

Why don't you say the Sage of Six Paths!

The God of Shinobi crawled out of the ground for your eyes?

Seeing that everyone's expressions were not right, Itsuki became anxious and shouted, "Do you think I'm kidding you?"

Fugaku said coldly, "Aren't you kidding us?"

"Although I am kidding you, I am very serious about kidding you, there is a fundamental difference between the two."

Three tomoe appeared in Fugaku's eyes, his expression distorted.

He was really anxious.

Two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan!

Those were Mangekyo Sharingan!

With two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan, the Uchiha would have more confidence in facing the Hokage faction.

The village's hostility?

Haha!

Endure it!

As a result, the two pairs of eyes were just lost like that, I'm so anxious I'm about to have a brain hemorrhage, and you're still messing around here, do you really think I wouldn't dare to discipline you?

Itsuki, I'm the clan leader!

"Itsuki!" Kurenai said faintly, "If it was Lord Hashirama, with his strength, the Mangekyo Sharingan would be meaningless in front of him."

That was the God of Shinobi, would he care about the Mangekyo Sharingan?

Moreover.

If he was still alive, would there still be a great war in the ninja world?

He would have rushed to people's homes and kindly asked: Do you want peace, or nuclear peace!?

Itsuki complained, "I didn't lie."

"Then you said you saw Senju Hashirama?"

"But I really saw Wood Release!"

"Hmm?!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Wood Release?"

Senju Hashirama and Wood Release were two different concepts.

Although everyone knew that Wood Release was a secret technique unique to Senju Hashirama.

But...

Some people still didn't believe it and glared at Uchiha Itsuki.

Others were lost in thought.

Back then, because of Tobirama's policy of civilianization, the Senju, the strongest clan at the time, were directly dismantled and integrated into Konoha.

Now, except for Tsunade, there were no pure Senju clan members.

However!

There were quite a few people with Senju bloodline in Konoha.

Could it be that a mutant had appeared?

"I don't believe it, this guy is just making things up!"

Mitokado Homura said coldly, "Uchiha Itsuki, what exactly is your conspiracy?"

Itsuki was about to speak, but the Third Hokage quickly interrupted.

"Alright, Itsuki, continue, and by the way, if you saw Wood Release, just say Wood Release, don't drag the First Hokage into it."

Itsuki said in surprise, "From what Lord Hokage is saying, could it be that there's other Wood Release in Konoha?"

"Ahem, how is that possible?"

Itsuki curled his lips and said, "I'm blind, but my ears aren't deaf, I could smell the unnaturalness in your words."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "..."

He subconsciously looked around and keenly noticed that the people around him were intentionally or unintentionally looking at him.

... Is it that obvious?

"Alright, everyone look here!" Itsuki clapped his hands and said, "Stop looking at the Third Hokage, he's getting shy."

"By the way, where was I?"

"You saw Wood Release!"

"Right, Wood Release!" Itsuki said, "The moment those people gouged out my eyes, the intense pain stimulated me, and I used a Fire Release to counterattack, causing quite a commotion, so those people ran away."

"That's the whole story!"

Many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he's finished!

In summary:

Someone plotted against Shisui and Itsuki, gouging out their eyes, and one of them could use Wood Release.

When Itsuki's eyes were being gouged out, he used Fire Release to counterattack and repelled the enemy.

Such a simple matter, you dragged it on for so long!

Danzo said sinisterly, "Then what about the injuries on you and Shisui?"

"The other party obviously intended to silence us, and when I launched the Fire Release, they also attacked me."

Everyone fell silent again.

The Fire Release that Itsuki unleashed was too strong, erasing all traces.

It could be said that the only clue was in Itsuki's mind.

He was the only one who saw the attackers.

Mitokado Homura said coldly, "Uchiha Itsuki, nothing you say is trustworthy, everyone, I suggest we directly search for the answer in Uchiha Itsuki's mind."

After speaking.

Many people looked at Mitokado Homura with the eyes of an idiot.

Among them, many also carried killing intent.

"Homura! Don't talk nonsense!" The Third Hokage shouted, then said to everyone, "Let's go out and talk!"

Everyone silently turned and left.

Itsuki suddenly said, "Elder Mitokado, your suggestion is very good, I hereby express my support for your proposal."

Mitokado Homura's body stiffened instantly.

Damn it!

I'm so used to being arrogant, I forgot that this time the target was Uchiha Itsuki.

This was an existence even more terrifying than Uchiha Fugaku.

He even drove Danzo to madness.

How could I be so ignorant as to cause trouble for him!

I've been too complacent recently!

Mitokado Homura walked out of the room trembling, constantly thinking about what to do.

She didn't want to experience what Danzo went through.

Should I side with the Uchiha in this Mangekyo Sharingan incident?
