"Shisui you really.."
"You really spied on me huh."
Sato shook his head as if he was disappointed with Shisui, he waved his finger and said in a fake sad voice.
"All my actions, from meeting Naruto, to befriending Ino-Shika-Cho and fighting the Inuzuka clan, you were there this whole time."
"Watching me and judging me, you wanted to see if I am worthy of your trust isn't it?"
Sato narrowed his eyes at Shisui and the man started to sweat a little under Sato's gaze.
"Ha.. haha.. I thought I hid myself well."
Shisui gave an embarrassed smile and Sato just shook his head.
"Let me guess, the moment you saw that I successfully helped the Hyuga clan, you couldn't help yourself and rushed to meet me."
Shisui was no longer surprised at this point, he simply laughed helplessly, he couldn't hide anything from Sato it seems.
"Yes.. I did promise to be your henchman before, but I wasn't sure about your willingness to help us, please forgive me, this was all for the future of the Uchiha clan."
Shisui first asked for forgiveness with a bow, then straightened himself up and said.
"But when you helped the Hyuga clan and resolved the situation without any bloodshed, I realised that you can actually help us Uchiha."
"You know Sato san, you are the only one who even wants to help the Uchiha at this point."
"And I believe if you did it for the Hyuga clan, there is no reason you couldn't do the same for us."
Shisui said this seriously, he might be naive and too trusting of others at times, but when the time calls for it, he was still a kage level Ninja with the ability to make decisions.
Shisui had a very strong resolve to do things right, it was this resolve that made him ready to use Kotoamatsukami on Fugaku to stop the coup in the orginal story.
And it was this same resolve that let him make the decision to finally join Sato.
Shisui was someone who was always unsure before making a decision, but when he does make one, he was the type to stick to it until the very end.
"Excellent!"
Sato heard Shisui's perspective and clapped with satisfaction.
He knew Shisui's personality and he was pretty sure he had tamed the beast this time around.
"Shisui Uchiha, I can finally call you an official member of my Headhunter squad!"
"Glad to see you join my group for real this time."
Sato smiled at Shisui and Shisui smiled back in relief.
But before his relief can last long, Sato dropped a bombshell.
"Now for your first task, send me to the hidden cloud's guest house."
Shisui was startled and he looked at Sato with a confused look.
"But the guest house is right there a few blocks away, do you need me to send you?"
"And that's hidden cloud's territory right now, is it even okay for me to go there with you?"
Sato just laughed lightly after hearing the question, something which made Shisui nervous.
Sato shook his head and didn't reply immediately but slowly started walking with Shisui, only after a minute had passed, he spoke.
"Your worries are right Shisui, you sending me home will be misunderstood by Konoha, but that's exactly what we are looking for."
"You want to save the Uchiha right, for that we need the Uchiha to realise that they need to be saved in the first place!"
Sato had a very simple plan to deal with the Uchiha problem, one that will make the Uchiha want to follow him after being saved.
After all it was very important that they follow him when everything was done, otherwise he would only make the hidden leaf stronger, and that wasn't good for him at all.
Shisui himself wasn't as sharp as Sato was about Konoha's game, so he didn't understand how doing this could help the Uchiha.
Sato could clearly read Shisui's doubts on his face, he decided just to explain what his plan was in simple words.
"Shisui, are the Uchiha disappointed with Konoha? I am talking about all the Uchiha being disappointed with Konoha."
Shisui looked thoughtful for a while before saying.
"No, a lot of them are still hopeful that Konoha will recognise them, and the remaining ones don't know that Konoha hates them in the first place."
Sato smiled and snapped his fingers at that.
"Exactly, the first thing we need to do is show everyone Konoha's true face, and for this we need Konoha to take the initiative to attack the Uchiha."
"If I am right, Shisui Uchiha walking home with 'The headhunter Sato' is not something Konoha wants to see."
"You contacting the hidden cloud after what we did to the Hyuga clan will make Konoha upset, very upset."
Smiling at an anbu sitting on a roof and spying at them, Sato turned his head.
"When Konoha is upset at you, they will take out their anger on the Uchiha clan, and this is exactly what we want."
"It will take some time, but as long as Konoha keeps targeting Uchiha again and again, they will snap."
"What we have to do now is speed up the process, you coming with me to the cloud's guest house will start this fun game of power."
Sato's idea was very simple, he wanted to completely destroy the relationship between Konoha and Uchiha.
As long as Konoha openly wanted to kill the Uchiha, the clan will become desperate, and this is when Sato will show up to give them hope.
Coupled with a few other things he will do in the meantime, his chances of taking over the Uchiha clan were very high.
"But Sato sama."
"Won't doing something like this cause a lot of chaos?"
Shisui asked with a curious face, he thought he was missing something about this situation again, and Sato will somehow stop the chaos.
But against all odds, Sato agreed with him.
"Yes, it will cause a lot of chaos, and I will do nothing to stop it."
"Don't look at me like that Shisui, Konoha banned me from roaming around the village, I still haven't forgiven them for that."
"This is my revenge, if I can't roam around Konoha, I will cause so many problems in this village that they can't get out of their offices either."
Shisui looked at Sato speechlessly, he just realised that his new boss was a very petty person.
Now that Konoha was being targeted by someone with such a scary personality, he was wondering how the village will look like the next day.
After all, Sato made sure that both the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan have pissed off Konoha high level very badly today.
"Sato sama, you really.."
Shisui shook his head in disbelief but Sato didn't care.
He knew what Shisui was thinking, Konoha was definitely going to be chaotic tomorrow but it didn't matter to him anymore.
All his work in Konoha was done by now, he took care of the Inuzuka clan, made friends with Naruto, controlled the Hyuga incident, and finally started the countdown to Uchiha massacre.
He frankly had nothing to do in Konoha anymore.
Which was good, as today was his last day in the village, he was returning to the hidden Cloud village tomorrow morning.
His mission to Konoha was finally over, now he had a whole another agenda going on.
'I want to replace Darui and become the next generation of Raikage!'
