My Ninja Cat Thought I Was Weak, So I Stole Thunder Fruit

Chapter 59 Suffer again Uchiha, call me to bear

"Since that incident, I have understood in my heart that Konoha cannot do without my darkness."

"But we also need light like you."

"So, the only thing I won't do is lie to you."

"In my hand, only Shisui's right eye."

Danzo met Hiruzen's eyes with unprecedented sincerity.

At the same time, there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

Because judging from Hiruzen's reaction, he wasn't lying either.

Shisui's left eye was indeed missing.

Did not fall into his hands.

It didn't fall into Hiruzen's hands either.

One can imagine who took Shisui's left eye.

It is the people of Uchiha.

Fugaku, Hefeng, and that Itachi may all be the beneficiaries of this incident.

Especially that Hefeng.

He is neither weak like Fugaku.

Nor does it have the will of fire like Itachi.

Not to mention the sharpness of the whole person, he is also a Lightning Style genius.

Regardless of whether he got Shisui's eyes or not, this person must not be kept.

For a moment, Danzo couldn't help but have the idea of ​​attacking Hefeng.

Hiruzen, on the other hand, fell silent.

His brain was running fast, trying to connect all kinds of clues together.

Danzo is indeed dark, but his loyalty to Konoha is no less than his own.

There is really no need for him to lie about such a big deal.

So……

Who took Shisui's left eye?

"Even if Shisui only has his left eye left, he is still an excellent ninja. If the opponent is not strong enough, he is fully capable of retreating..."

Hiruzen thought to himself.

And it can be done at Nanga Shrine without being noticed by the Uchiha clan.

Really only the Uchiha clan.

Coupled with the limitation that the strength is not below Shisui.

Most people can be ruled out directly.

Only Fugaku, Itachi, and newcomer Jōnin Hefeng remain.

"Itachi is very close to Shisui and has a Hokage mindset. He has no reason to attack Shisui."

"Fugaku, as the head of the clan, he has always trusted Shisui."

"Hefeng, it doesn't feel possible."

After thinking about it, Hiruzen thinks that the possibility of these three people is not very high.

Finally he took a deep breath.

"Danzo, do you remember the masked man who caused the Nine Tails unrest five years ago?"

Hiruzen spoke slowly, bringing up the past.

The masked man not only possesses the Sharingan, but also knows Konoha's enchantment like the back of his hand, and can come and go freely.

According to what Namikaze Minato said before he died, the masked man is most likely Uchiha Madara!

"You mean Madara?" Danzo raised his eyebrows, "It's not impossible..."

Back then he knew everything about Kushina giving birth.

It shows that it has a strong intelligence gathering ability.

Seeing the opportunity this time, it is not a fantasy to accept Shisui's eyes.

It's just that Danzo can't figure it out, what does Madara want Shisui's eyes for?

Regarding Susanoo, Madara should be stronger than Shisui.

Could it be that there are other secrets hidden in Shisui's eyes?

"In short, the whereabouts of Shisui's left eye must be found out as soon as possible." Hiruzen thought for a while.

"Until the truth comes out, you'd better not show your face in front of other people."

Although Danzo acted without authorization this time, Hiruzen was very angry, but after understanding the details, his mood calmed down a lot.

Now is not the time to deal with Danzo.

Because on one side is the dead Shisui.

On the other side is Danzo alive.

Whichever is more important, he naturally has a weight in his heart.

If Danzo is blamed at this time, Konoha will not only lose an important combat power.

If it is not done well, it will benefit Madara who is hiding in the dark.

"Ugh……"

Hiruzen let out a long sigh, "For the sake of the stability of the village, no matter how much you suffer Uchiha, I will bear the blame."

After finishing speaking, Hiruzen stopped looking at Danzo, turned and left the room.

"Hiruzen..."

But after watching Hiruzen disappear through the door, Danzo's eyes showed a trace of viciousness.

Shisui's left eye, he must get it.

...

After leaving the secret room, Hiruzen went straight to his office without stopping.

Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Uchiha Fugaku are all waiting here now.

"Master Hokage."

Upon seeing Hiruzen come back, Fugaku immediately got up from his chair and greeted him respectfully.

I hope he can make a decision for the Uchiha clan in the matter of Shisui's death.

"I've already met Danzo."

While returning to his Hokage position, Hiruzen spoke slowly.

Fugaku frowned, quietly waiting for the next sentence.

"Danzo confessed to what he did, he did try to take Shisui's Sharingan, but failed..."

"Shisui not only escaped, but also used illusion to control Danzo."

"In order to get Shisui's Sharingan, Danzo's people took advantage of the trend to hunt down Shisui."

Hiruzen slightly changed the version of what Danzo said.

"But when we met Shisui, his Sharingan was poached away." Fugaku faintly felt that Hiruzen's words meant to excuse Danzo, and quickly emphasized this matter.

"Is there a possibility that someone else took advantage of Danzo, killed people with eye-catching eyes, and pointed the finger at Danzo?" Hiruzen analyzed.

"No way."

Seeing Hiruzen's partiality, Fugaku became anxious, "The place where Shisui was killed was near Nanga Shrine, where there is a barrier of our clan, except for the Uchiha clan."

"Anyone who approaches there will be perceived by us."

"The only people who can enter that area are those ninjas from the root organization."

From Fugaku's point of view, it is likely that the root ninjas took Shisui's eyes and handed them over to Danzo in other ways.

"A barrier?" Hiruzen nodded, "Indeed, except for the Uchiha clan, everyone else will be spotted immediately if they get close."

"But Fugaku, have you forgotten the masked man from five years ago?"

"He also entered Konoha without anyone noticing."

Fugaku will never forget what happened five years ago.

It was because of that masked man that their family was driven to the edge of the village.

Now that the old matter is brought up again, Fugaku is momentarily dumbfounded.

It's not about the man in the mask.

It's the attitude of Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is obviously exonerating Danzo!

He doesn't know what Hiruzen said to Danzo.

But I already understood in my heart.

The Hokage in front of him no longer intends to question Danzo.

only……

In order to prevent the Uchiha clan from having any further troubles, Hiruzen didn't bite him to death because of the masked man.

"However, these are also my personal guesses, as for the truth and the whereabouts of Shisui Sharingan."

"We still have to investigate clearly before we can make a decision."

"Fugaku, since you are the head of the Uchiha clan and the captain of the garrison, I will leave it to you to take charge of this matter."

Hiruzen said softly, "As for Shisui and the corpses of those ninjas, I will leave them to Anbu for now."

Logically speaking, the Konoha Guard has limited powers and is usually not qualified to intervene in Anbu's affairs.

But in order not to intensify the conflict between Uchiha and the village.

Hiruzen thought it would be better to let Fugaku be in charge.
