"Itachi, what do you mean?"
Shisui's face was serious, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. The words just now carried a strong sense of attack. This filled him with fear.
Itachi's words were actually directed at that person. Is this the idea of Itachi alone, or the idea of most Uchiha? And if there are more people who think like that but keep their mouths shut!
Originally, Shisui regarded Itachi as a companion and comrade-in-arms.
He believed that the other party understood him and believed in him. He was a comrade who, like him, had broken away from the narrow thinking of 'family' and would work with him to change the family and allow Uchiha to completely integrate into the village.
What made him change?
He subconsciously looked at Fūnan.
Fūnan smiled and nodded to him.
The corners of Shisui's mouth twitched. Why are you nodding if you don't even know what I'm thinking? Fūnan, why can't you be more serious?
Itachi looked indifferent and said: "Fūnan-ani once told me something."
'Is it really Fūnan?' Shisui thought.
"Judge a person not by what he says, but by what he does."
"What do you mean?" Shisui raised his voice subconsciously and said: "Hasn't Master Hokage done enough for Uchiha?"
"Shisui, calm down!" Fūnan said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, the three of us are friends, and this is a conversation between friends."
'Your words are aggressive and point directly at that individual. And you're asking me not to get nervous? I'm sweating everywhere.' Shisui thought as he was in a mess.
"Shisui!" Fūnan showed a sad expression and said: "Aren't the three of us friends? Oh, my heart hurts so much!"
Shisui rubbed his hair irritably: "Fūnan, that's not what I meant. Don't make jokes. Be more serious."
"Okay." Fūnan spread his hands and said: "Itachi also asked the same question as you at the beginning, I just asked a question in return."
"What question?" Shisui stared at Fūnan nervously.
Fūnan spread his hands: "Please give an example."
"What?"
Fūnan looked at the dumbfounded Shisui in a funny way and said: "Didn't you say that that person has done a lot for Uchiha? Just give me an example."
"I don't need you to say a lot, just an example will do. Don't be like the old Hokage, all he does is talk and talk. What good is he if he only talks?"
Shisui opened his mouth to speak, but under the gaze of Fūnan and Itachi, he closed his mouth again.
What has the Hokage done for the Uchiha? Surely he has done something. But all of that seemed so insufficient right now. Saying it now would sound weak and empty.
He needs a decisive event to refute Fūnan! Were there any? It seemed not.
Maybe Shisui was a bit soft in his personality and is quite naive, but he had a positive quality: he listened to others!
Unlike Uchiha Itachi in the later period, he was really ruthless and would chop whoever he caught!
Looking at Shisui who was speechless, Fūnan shrugged.
"Actually, from the perspective of a bystander, you will find that the Sandaime is just cooperating with Danzō."
"What?"
"Shi-mu-ra Dan-zō." Fūnan said slowly.
"What Sarutobi Hiruzen did, traced back to the source, was just to keep appeasing Uchiha while letting Shimura Danzō punch Uchiha hard. The two brothers cooperated well."
"You punch him first, and I'll comfort him. When the Uchiha calm down, you hit him again, and so on!"
"The Uchiha have been gradually pushed to this point."
"Otherwise, how would you explain the current situation of the Uchiha clan?"
Shisui was breathing faster.
Fūnan continued: "Shisui, some things, no matter how much they are explained, will remain what they are."
"The most acute conflict between Uchiha and the village was the night of the Nine-Tails, the night when the Fourth Hokage died in battle."
That night, the Nine-Tailed Jinchūriki Uzumaki Kushina gave birth. An unknown Sharingan controlled the Nine-Tails, plunging Konoha into an endless sea of blood.
"That night completely separated the village and the Uchiha!" Fūnan said calmly: "The Uchiha were the subject of suspicion and malicious slander, and eventually moved away from the original clan area and moved to a remote corner of the village."
"With your current status, you should be able to find out that that night had nothing to do with the Uchiha clan. The question is, why did Konoha's higher-ups, whom you trust, refuse to show up from the beginning to the end? Furthermore, they never said a word in favor of the Uchiha clan. They even keep putting pressure on the Uchiha clan constantly."
"Especially in the village, there are constant rumors that the Uchiha clan is the one who controls the Kyūbi, blaming Uchiha for the village's losses, causing the village's hatred and resentment towards Uchiha."
"Even if someone refutes it, they will say: Uchiha did not support the Fourth Generation, which resulted in Namikaze Minato's death in the battle."
"Makes me laugh, wasn't that an order from the Third Hokage? Don't let the Uchiha leave your territory. Danzō and his people are staring at us to death!"
"The two huge forces, Uchiha and Root, just acted as spectators, as if they were deliberately trying to kill Namikaze Minato!"
"Huh? Someone really wants to kill Namikaze Minato, right?"
Fūnan touched his chin and fell into deep thought. He really never thought about this in the past.
The third generation does not want to delegate power, and the fourth generation gradually begins to take power. This is the contradiction!
Shisui said weakly: "That's not Hokage-sama's order, it's Danzō's order."
Fūnan glanced at Shisui and chuckled: "I accused him unfairly, do I need to apologize to you? I assure you that I would do it sincerely."
"...There's no need". Shisui said.
"Even if it was Danzō's order, the Third Hokage didn't even do something as simple as speak in favor of the Uchiha clan. Tell me, he has done a lot for Uchiha?"
Fūnan shook his head.
To be fair, as the Hokage, the Sandaime wanted to believe in Uchiha, and he also wanted to recognize Uchiha as a member of the village.
But...
He felt more fear and caution towards the Uchiha.
In their perception, the Uchiha, who are prone to extremes, are like a volcano that can explode at any time.
But the Uchiha clan is too powerful.
As Hokage, the old Sarutobi Hiruzen hopes for stability. The best way to weaken Uchiha is, for example, rejection by the village. Isolating the Uchiha, leaving them alone and facing the hatred of the people, that was the best way to weaken them.
However, Fūnan is an Uchiha, and from his perspective he just wants to say: "Damn, what have I done to you to make you provoke me all the time?"
Therefore, the two sides are destined to conflict.
Shisui remained silent.
After a long time, he murmured: "Is there really no way for the village and Uchiha to get along with each other?"
Fūnan pouted. "Even a scared rabbit can bite, but when an Uchiha's eyes turn red, it's much scarier than a rabbit."
Shisui looked in a daze. Fūnan's words had a huge impact on him. He subconsciously touched his eyes. There must be a way! For example, these eyes...
After Fūnan noticed Shisui's actions, he said nonchalantly: "Actually, there are ways for the village and Uchiha to coexist."
"What?" Shisui's eyes widened suddenly, like a drowning man grasping at his last hope.
He grabbed Fūnan and said eagerly: "What did you just say?"
"Calm down, Shisui!" Fūnan smiled and pushed Shisui away.
A stinky man, stay away from me.
"I don't want Konoha to be destroyed, and I don't want Uchiha to be harmed. It's the best of both worlds."
Shisui nodded quickly.
"So..."
"So, in the near future, listen to my words obediently. I will intervene and change all of this."
Fūnan looks confident.
"This…"
Shisui was a little hesitant. Intervention? Does this mean you want to take power?
He trusted Fūnan very much, but he was also a little afraid. He knew very well how decisive his friend was. As long as he makes up his mind, he will cut off any retreat and fight to the end!
This point has been confirmed by countless enemy during the Third World War.
Konoha's Yellow Flash couldn't compare with Fūnan in terms of the number of enemies he killed.
Fūnan, the bloody fire. Will that bloody flame ignite in Konoha?
With Fūnan's temper, he would definitely not mind starting a war!
If Uchiha Fūnan is active again, the Uchiha clan's combat power will inevitably skyrocket. It is completely different from the period when Uchiha Fugaku was in charge of the Uchiha clan.
That might as well be...
Fūnan looked at him with a smile and said: "Shisui, unless there are powerful beings like Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara, no individual can change the status quo. You can only trust me, and besides, you are a human being, not a puppet. If any action I ask you to do hurts the village, you have the right to refuse. The decision is in your hands."
"Of course, you can also choose to use those eyes."
Fūnan stared into Shisui's eyes and said: "Use it on the clan leader, use it on me!"
"But, do you think this will solve the problem? I promise, the result will only be worse."
Shisui glanced at Itachi subconsciously. He only told Fūnan about the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Itachi said calmly: "Shisui-aniki, I know everything about you. How much do you know about me? How much do you know about Fūnan-ani?"
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the three magatama's Sharingan was spinning rapidly, and finally turned into a shuriken-like pattern.
Mangekyō Sharingan!
Shisui's hands were trembling, and his expression was horrified.
"Itachi, you..."
Uchiha actually has two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan!
As the owner of the Mangekyō Sharingan, he is very aware of the power contained in these eyes.
If the clan members knew that the family had two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan... Shisui didn't dare to think about it at all.
Wait! Fūnan...
Shisui turned his head sharply and looked at Fūnan, staring into his eyes. He has a strong intuition. Itachi trusts Fūnan so much. And Fūnan was talking about changing both the village and the clan.
Fūnan chuckled and said: "Shisui, the look in your eyes is very scary."
Shisui had a serious and unchanged expression.
"All right!"
Seeing Shisui's persistence, Fūnan spread his hands, and three magatama first appeared in his eyes.
This is nothing. During the Third War, he and Fūnan already had three magatama.
What he wanted to see was the deeper power within those pupils. Fūnan did not disappoint Shisui.
The three magatama slowly merged to form a strange triangle pattern. A cold and desperate atmosphere filled the air, making it difficult for Shisui to breathe.
The third pair of Mangekyō Sharingan!
