In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 14 Obito and Zetsu

no way.

Just like the White Fang of Konoha back then.

No matter how tolerant or great he is, the "strongest Hokage of all time."

We must never tolerate the emergence of anything in Konoha that exceeds the Hokage's control.

This is a matter of principle.

He bears the heavy responsibility of the entire Hidden Leaf Village on his shoulders.

Once Uchiha Shisui harbored malicious intentions.

Turning him, the Hokage, into a puppet would be far more dangerous to Konoha than turning him into the Nine-Tails.

Just as the third generation was lost in thought, a member of the secret service hurriedly knocked on the door.

"Oh no, Lord Sandai!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips curled slightly; even through the door, he could sense the other's urgency.

It seems Danzo has succeeded.

"Come in."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a slight surge of joy, but on the surface he remained expressionless and ordered an ANBU ninja to come in and speak.

With a creak, the office door opened.

The ANBU ninja quickly walked to the center of the room, knelt on one knee before Hiruzen Sarutobi, made a fist with his right hand and placed it on the ground, and lowered his head slightly until the Hokage asked him a question, at which point he raised his head.

"What happened?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, feigning ignorance, in a low voice.

The ANBU ninja took a deep breath and reported the information he had gathered about the Uchiha clan's territory: "Hokage-sama, Uchiha Shisui is dead."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flickered in the depths of Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

But feigning surprise, he abruptly stood up, his eyes wide, and asked in anguish, "What?! Shisui is dead? What happened?"

"Reporting to the Hokage, Uchiha Shisui is indeed dead. The ANBU ninja in charge of surveillance saw Uchiha Shisui's body with their own eyes."

"It is said to be a suicide, and a suicide note was left behind. However, the cause of death is still under investigation."

Seeing this, the ANBU ninja admired the Third Hokage's consideration for his subordinates, and after organizing his thoughts, he revealed all the information he currently possessed.

"but."

The conversation abruptly shifted, and the ANBU ninja suddenly said, "It seems that Uchiha Shisui's eyes have been gouged out. Moreover, someone saw that he was summoned by Root ninjas under Lord Danzo today."

Upon hearing the name "Danzo," the Third Hokage's cloudy old eyes immediately became deep and profound. It seemed that his old friend had made quite a gain.

However, we still need to give him a warning, lest he turn his bad intentions on us.

at the same time.

The Land of Water, the Hidden Mist Village.

Obito Uchiha is manipulating the Fourth Mizukage to systematically carry out his plan to persecute the Bloodstained Ninja in the Village of Blood.

To comfort the spirit of Nohara Rin in heaven.

Just as Obito was pondering his next move, the combined entity of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu emerged from the ground.

Black Zetsu said in a hoarse voice, "Obito, something terrible has happened in Konoha."

"How many times have I told you to call me Lord Madara?" Obito frowned beneath his mask and said coldly.

"Yes, Lord Madara." Black Zetsu replied respectfully on the surface, but secretly despised him in his heart.

Whether it's you or Madara Uchiha, you're nothing more than pawns in the resurrection of your mother.

Hearing this, Obito's tone softened slightly. "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

White Zetsu spoke first: "Uchiha Shisui, hailed as the strongest genjutsu ninja in the Uchiha clan, is dead."

"Uchiha Shisui is dead?" Obito was startled. "When?"

If we're talking about who Obito feared most in the entire Hidden Leaf Village after the death of the Fourth Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Danzo?

Uchiha Fugaku?

No, no, none of them. Before his divine power, these are nothing but clay chickens and earthenware dogs.

It is Uchiha Shisui.

The reason is simple: the other party has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and its abilities are extremely strange and powerful.

Even he, who had also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, dared not make direct contact with it.

How exactly did such a powerful figure die?

"Yesterday. The Uchiha clan is holding a funeral right now," Black Zetsu replied, his voice hoarse, like leaves falling in the wind, making it extremely distressing to hear.

White Zetsu added, "It's said to be suicide."

"You actually believe this nonsense?" Obito said irritably.

Black Zetsu continued, "Uchiha Shisui did indeed commit suicide. The Uchiha clan was about to stage a coup, and Uchiha Shisui was willing to commit suicide to prevent a civil war in Konoha, in order to demoralize and weaken the Uchiha clan."

However, before committing suicide, he seemed to want to use the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan to control Fugaku Uchiha, reorganize the Uchiha clan, and stop the coup.

It failed.

Danzo ambushed him and stole his right eye.

"Hmph, naive fellow. Someone with eyes and strength of that caliber actually fell into Danzo's hands in the end. How laughable." Obito sneered, his words filled with disdain. "Is Shisui's eye in Danzo's possession now?"

"No, it seems Danzo did not obtain the Sharingan."

"According to the information that the spore clones obtained from the Root organization, Danzo not only failed to obtain Shisui's right eye, but also had his left arm severed and stolen by a mysterious person who suddenly appeared at the moment he tried to take Shisui's right eye."

Black Zetsu sorted out his thoughts and recounted in detail the information he had gathered using White Zetsu's clone.

White Zetsu said gloatingly, "Danzo is now suspecting that you did it."

"A mysterious person? Interesting. It seems Konoha isn't as simple as it appears." Obito muttered to himself, then continued, "What about the left eye?"

"I don't know. However," Black Zetsu hesitated for a moment before adding, "Itachi Uchiha was the first to discover Shisui Uchiha's body."

"Itachi Uchiha was Shisui Uchiha's best friend. After Shisui's death, he also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. I think Shisui's left eye should be in his possession."

"Itachi?" Obito frowned. "Another troublesome guy."

"Ban, what are you planning to do?" Black Zetsu asked.

"Although the Uchiha coup was thwarted this time, it's only a matter of time before it breaks out again. After we've dealt with things here, we'll head to Konoha and find an opportunity to recruit Itachi into Akatsuki," Obito said. "Uchiha clan members who have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan are qualified and will be an asset in capturing the Tailed Beasts in the future."

"Also, try to find the guy who stole Shisui's right eye. To be able to snatch it from Danzo's clutches in Konoha, he must either be a user of space-time ninjutsu or an insider from Konoha."

"I understand." Black Zetsu replied respectfully, his figure slowly merging into the ground and finally disappearing.

The following day, Uchiha Shisui, the strongest genjutsu ninja of the Uchiha clan, known as "Shisui of the Body Flicker," died.

The news spread like wildfire.

The Uchiha clan lost the support of this strongest Mangekyou Sharingan.

Deeply affected.

For a time, morale plummeted, and even the Eagle Shield elders gave up and stopped mentioning the coup.

Konoha thus fell into a brief period of peace once again.

Of course, this is just a sign before the storm.
