Chapter 131 Sasuke: Itachi and Danzo must have teamed up to harm Shisui [Second Update]
"Is it something related to Danzo again?"
Kakashi Hatake opened the diary and glanced at the contents. Kitahara Kaede had previously written that Danzo had once tried to kill him, so this was the second time.
However, it is clear that Danzo never expected that Kitahara Kaede was aware of Danzo's existence and was very wary of him. Even when Danzo tried to attack him while concealing his identity, Kitahara Kaede did not hesitate to fight back!
It is precisely this decisive and ruthless personality that is surprising. Even someone like him, who knows about the existence of Root and its style, would find it difficult to make the decision to kill the Root team so quickly.
However, Kitahara Kaede had no such concerns; to be precise, he had absolutely no respect for the village's order whatsoever!
Kitahara Kaede only had awe for the strong, but he disdained and had no respect for Konoha's institutions and order. Hatake Kakashi had long ago discovered this.
In other words, in Kakashi Hatake's eyes, Kitahara Kaede presents a very strange state. On the one hand, he is timid and keeps clamoring for Naruto and Sasuke to save the world while he lies down and does nothing. But on the other hand, when he really takes action, he is more decisive than ever before!
Moreover, this person's sense of belonging to Konoha is vague; it's not that he has none, but it's not very strong either.
I feel like I could accept staying in Konoha, or not having it at all!
Although Kitahara Kaede never made such a claim, he still keenly caught the vague feeling it conveyed in her diary.
If Kitahara Kaede knew what Hatake Kakashi was thinking, she'd probably laugh out loud.
How could someone with a complete worldview from a previous life possibly have the same sense of belonging as those who grew up in Konoha? As for his lack of reverence for Konoha's institutions, that's even more normal.
It's like when Chinese people went to Thailand in their past lives. They might have been afraid of encountering all sorts of scams, telecom fraud, and local gangsters, but as for having any respect for the Thai King and the Thai government, that was a result of the fact that the new China hadn't been properly informed.
Kakashi Hatake looked down and immediately saw Danzo trying to lure Kitahara Kaede to the Root base.
It must be said that, based on his understanding of Danzo, he was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
However, the information that followed shocked him.
"Uchiha Shisui also had the Mangekyou Sharingan?" Kakashi Hatake muttered to himself.
However, considering that Uchiha Shisui earned the title of "Shisui of the Body Flicker" back then, he was arguably the undisputed number one Uchiha fighter at the time.
Fugaku Uchiha quietly acquired the Mangekyou Sharingan, yet even so, he was still subordinate to Shisui Uchiha. So it's quite normal that Shisui Uchiha also awakened his own Mangekyou Sharingan.
However, Danzo stole his Sharingan!
Given Danzo's personality, he was absolutely capable of doing such a thing, especially since this ability involved such a bug-like power as the ability to silently change a person's will.
It would be strange if Danzo didn't make a move!
Uchiha Shisui was indeed naive.
After so many years and so many things, Kakashi Hatake now has a much better understanding of these things.
Those who engage in politics think completely differently from ordinary people.
Such ability would make even himself wary, let alone Shimura Danzo.
"Come to think of it, the Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities are truly diverse; it's no wonder it's called the Mangekyou Sharingan," Kakashi Hatake remarked. "There's the genjutsu type Tsukuyomi and this genjutsu called Kotoamatsukami, and the ninjutsu type Amaterasu. I wonder if there are any that enhance taijutsu?"
"Wait, isn't that ninjutsu called Susanoo just a type that enhances taijutsu?"
Kakashi Hatake thought to himself.
It has to be said that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is a really useful bloodline limit.
He seemed to understand a little why Kitahara Kaede called this world the Legend of the Eyes.
"Danzo, Danzo, just how many sins have you committed?" Jiraiya looked at the entries in his diary and recalled some of the rumors from back then.
He had actually heard of Shisui Uchiha's reputation before; he was a super genius among the Uchiha clan, so Shisui's awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan wasn't too surprising to him.
What shocked him was that Uchiha Shisui trusted Konoha's higher-ups so much, and how Danzo had betrayed such a loyal Uchiha.
Back then, the Uchiha clan was divided into doves and hawks. Uchiha Shisui was a well-known dove who was loyal to the village. But those who were loyal to the village ended up like this, no wonder the Uchiha clan was eventually wiped out.
He was well aware of the darkness within Konoha's upper echelons, after all, how the three legendary Sannin had either betrayed, left, or wandered into exile.
He was furious because he couldn't stand some of the dark side of Konoha's higher-ups, but seeing this still made him incredibly angry.
Uchiha Shisui was clearly a good person, but he was too naive, and as a result, he was ambushed by Danzo.
No wonder Kitahara Kaede said that if there is something in the ninja world that no one takes the blame for, then it is assumed that Danzo did it.
He's so wicked.
"No, I have to remind the old man." Jiraiya couldn't help but think that this Kotoamatsukami ninjutsu was too dangerous; it could actually change a person's will silently.
The original owner, Uchiha Shisui, is dead, which means that this Mangekyou Sharingan likely fell into the hands of Shimura Danzo.
If he uses this trick to change the old man's will, then everything will be over.
"No, no." Jiraiya suddenly realized something. "Could it be that Danzo's future status as the quasi-Sixth Hokage, or the 5.5 Hokage that Kitahara Kaede jokingly mentioned, was also achieved through this technique?"
"
He had always found it strange that the village had chosen Shimura Danzo as the sixth leader.
He's an old man the same age as the Third Hokage. People of the same age, whether it's the Third Hokage or the Third Tsuchikage, are trying to find a successor. The other villages have already changed generations to the fourth generation.
Konoha already had a Fourth Hokage; if he hadn't died, the one sitting on the throne now would be the young and vigorous Fourth Hokage.
Is it reasonable for an old-fashioned remnant to suddenly appear as the sixth generation?
He must have secretly done something using this god.
"If he has such a powerful weapon, why doesn't he use it? He hasn't used it all these years?" Jiraiya wondered. "There's only one possibility: this Kotoamatsukami isn't as useful as it seems. Either the preparation time is too long, or the interval between ninjutsu uses is too long, making it unusable as a regular ninjutsu."
Jiraiya quickly formed his own judgment.
He seemed to have figured out why Danzo hadn't used it for so many years, which also aligned with his understanding of ninjutsu. While many ninjutsu had amazing effects, they also had various limitations.
Such amazing ninjutsu can be said to be the pinnacle of genjutsu, and naturally, it comes at a great cost.
For example, while Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi could indeed torture a person to the point of collapse in that magical reading space, it also came at a huge price. Perhaps this is why Itachi Uchiha dared not continue to entangle with the few Jonin of Konoha.
Otherwise, a single glare from him could take someone down; he's practically invincible.
"Does Brother Shisui also have a kaleidoscope?"
Sasuke Uchiha was shocked when he saw the records in the diary.
He never imagined that so many people possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, which he considered the ultimate power.
Given the circumstances at the time, the Uchiha clan possessed at least three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan, making them unprecedentedly powerful.
The powerful Uchiha clan hastened its own demise.
Uchiha Sasuke tried his best to recall what happened back then, but many years had passed and his memory was starting to fade, especially since he was still a child at the time.
All I know is that I often pester Itachi Uchiha to play with me, but I often run into Shisui Uchiha, and the two of them always look preoccupied.
Then one day, news suddenly came that Uchiha Shisui had died.
The suspect was none other than Itachi Uchiha.
There is no doubt that the two had a very good relationship; he had witnessed it firsthand.
However, Itachi Uchiha later killed Shisui Uchiha, and under intense stimulation, he finally awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.
This is a self-consistent statement!
After all, this is a very reasonable deduction considering the conditions for awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan.
This was also an established fact that he once firmly believed in.
However, Kitahara Kaede has now provided another possibility: Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan has actually been stolen by Shimura Danzo. What exactly is going on?
"No, this makes more sense." Sasuke Uchiha suddenly said. "If Shisui had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan back then, Itachi Uchiha would definitely not have been a match for him. The most likely scenario is that Itachi was able to do so by sneaking up on Shisui after Danzo stole his Mangekyou Sharingan."
He might even be in league with Danzo, colluding with him.
At this moment, he recalled the video of him chasing Shimura Danzo, in which Danzo complained about Uchiha Ryu leaving him behind. The implication was clear: they were likely conspiring in some way.
"That must be it, Itachi Uchiha, Danzo, you both deserve to die."
"Uchiha Sasuke said."
Meanwhile, inside the Akatsuki organization, Itachi Uchiha had just swallowed a medicine to treat his body.
Compared to his previous negative attitude towards treatment, he is now much more positive. The future is full of challenges, and he has to find a way to prolong Sasuke's life.
When he saw the diary entries about Uchiha Shisui and Danzo, he couldn't help but show a look of nostalgia and guilt.
