Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 588 Crisis Temporarily Averted

Seeing Uchiha Shisui sealed and lying on the ground, Uchiha Yatsuho finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He coughed up the blood from his chest and slowly stood up.

However, at that moment, in the ruins of another building, Guren and the others, who had just been thrown back, also struggled to their feet and were about to rush towards the location of Uchiha Shisui.

However, with so many Jonin from the Uchiha clan present, how could a few young Chunin possibly dare to act rashly?

Several Sharingan genjutsu were unleashed in succession, and the people who were still charging forward all fell unconscious.

Only Guren was a step behind the others, but after glancing at the unconscious Uchiha Shisui, she simply closed her eyes and lay down with her companions.

After taking these people down, the Uchiha clan members ignored the five insignificant individuals.

Everyone's eyes, including those Uchiha who were still injured and bleeding from the impact, were focused on Shisui lying on the ground.

Everyone's eyes gleamed with a morbid fervor.

"As expected of the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan! For Shisui, who has only just awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at such a young age, it already possesses such power!"

Uchiha Hachimoku's eyes were filled with undisguised envy and longing.

Previously, Uchiha Shisui's eye techniques, whether it was the one in his right eye that blasted more than thirty people away with a single blow, almost wiping them out, or the one in his left eye that seemed to completely ignore external attacks, were both incredibly powerful and bizarre.

If Shisui hadn't been so young and if they hadn't been prepared beforehand, they might not have been able to defeat him so easily.

However, having witnessed the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Uchiha clan members present were even more confident in their ability to achieve final victory.

If we can ambush and defeat Fugaku Uchiha, we can retrieve his eyes.

And in the process, awaken a few more pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan.

After that, they were full of confidence even if they had to deal with the entire Miyake Ninja Village.

At that moment, a younger Uchiha ninja, clutching his chest and limping, walked up to the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha.

He asked in a low voice.

"Lord Yatsuhoku, should we take Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan...?"

As he spoke, the young Uchiha bent his index and middle fingers and made a gesture in front of his eyes, as if he were gouging out an eye.

The rest of the Uchiha clan members present all cast strange glances at him, but none of them wanted to say anything to stop him.

They had already witnessed the power of the kaleidoscope.

As agreed beforehand, after defeating Fugaku Uchiha, his pair of Mangekyou Sharingan would be given to the Eighth Hokage Uchiha for transplantation.

Because the current Uchiha Eighth Hokage has no close relatives left.

Based on their understanding, it was virtually impossible for the Eighth Hokage to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan again.

Furthermore, as the strongest and most prestigious among them, and having personally killed his son to test the conditions for activating the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha certainly had the right to question Fugaku Uchiha's eyes.

But now that we have an extra pair of kaleidoscopes, shouldn't the opportunity be given to someone else, whether it's this pair of eyes or Fugaku's eyes later?

However, after a slight struggle, Uchiha Yatsuho firmly shook his head and stopped the man's suggestion.

"No, the Sharingan can only be truly compatible with the original owner. Even if you are of the same race, it is difficult to unleash the full power of the eye after transplantation."

"We will return to Konoha to overthrow the Hokage, and Shisui will become an important fighting force among us. We can't just let him go to waste."

Upon hearing this, some people frowned, while others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The young Uchiha who had just spoken hesitated again, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"But, Shisui..."

Although it was somewhat shameful to repeatedly mention the matter of gouging out the eyes of a fellow clansman, this person still wanted to try to persuade him again.

Uchiha Hachidai understood his thoughts. Judging from Uchiha Shisui's behavior just now, it seemed that he did not want to stand with them. However, after hesitating for a moment, Uchiha Hachidai refused again.

"Let's keep him under control for now. After we deal with that traitor Fugaku Uchiha, let's try to persuade him."

'

Upon hearing this, another slightly older Uchiha came closer and offered a reminder.

"Lord Yatsuhoku, the scrolls we used to target Fugaku Uchiha were already used up, and everyone is injured now. Should we still proceed according to the original plan?"

In fact, this person was one of those who did not agree with directly gouging out Uchiha Shisui's eyes.

Unlike Fugaku Uchiha, who "harmed his clansmen," he believed that young children like Shisui Uchiha still had a chance to be reformed.

The reason why the plan was only mentioned after the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha decided not to take Shisui's eyes was because he was worried that the other side would forcibly "requisition" Shisui's eyes in order to enhance their immediate combat power.

However, the question he raised was clearly to the point.

These people's original plan was to persuade and win over Uchiha Shisui, or to threaten him through his teammates.

They were to have Uchiha Shisui help them return to the Restoration Force base, lure Uchiha Fugaku out, and then ambush and kill him.

These people learned through intelligence that Fugaku Uchiha had taken good care of Shisui Uchiha during his time with the peacekeeping force.

They believe that Fugaku Uchiha transferred his love to Shisui Uchiha, a young genius from the same clan, because he had lost two biological sons in succession.

But now, not to mention that Uchiha Shisui is unconscious.

Even after he wakes up, these people would not allow Uchiha Shisui, who has just awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and is clearly not of one mind with them, to reunite with Uchiha Fugaku.

In addition, the most important sealing scroll was consumed, and everyone present suffered injuries of varying degrees, making it seem difficult to proceed according to the original plan.

Uchiha Hachimoku's brows furrowed at that moment.

The military strength of the peacekeeping force itself is not to be underestimated, and Kisame Hoshigaki, known as the "Tailless Tailed Beast," is no match for them.

If they couldn't lure Fugaku Uchiha into their pre-arranged trap without any warning, their plan would have virtually no chance of succeeding.

"Let's retreat first! Although the barrier isolates the sound, the collapse of the buildings can't be concealed for long, and the sealing scroll needs to be prepared again. Let's postpone the plan for now!"

After speaking, the Eighth Hokage looked around and continued to give orders.

"Clean this place up and cover it up a bit, and take these people with you when you're done."

"Neither the departure of so many of us from the village, nor the disappearance of these Chunin, can be concealed for long."

"We need to contact the Hidden Cloud Village and tell them we need more support!"
