Shisui remained resentful even after the surgery was completed and his face was wrapped in bandages.
Eyes?
Don't you know how I lost my eyes?
As my younger brother, you personally gouged out my eyes!
And you're actually using this to mock me?
Can't you be a decent human being?
"How do you feel?"
Itsuki stared at Shisui and asked in a deep voice.
"Very good!"
Shisui paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Grandfather's eyes are very suitable for me. I can already feel my ocular power increasing."
When Itsuki took the Sharingan from Shisui, Shisui's power had actually decreased.
The source of the Uchiha's power was their ocular techniques.
Although it wasn't everything, it still accounted for the majority. Losing his eyes inevitably meant losing power.
Now, Uchiha Kagami's eyes had compensated for this.
Itsuki was full of anticipation.
Could Shisui push Uchiha Kagami's Sharingan to the Mangekyo Sharingan level?
Itsuki's Mangekyo Sharingan was wasted.
Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan was with Itsuki.
These were their original eyes.
The two pairs of eyes had merged into an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
However, Uchiha Kagami's eyes were a completely unrelated pair.
Theoretically, the possibility of them becoming Mangekyo Sharingan wasn't zero.
It couldn't be that Shisui's eyes, as the material for merging into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, meant he could never have Mangekyo Sharingan himself, right?
Was this thing cursed?
Nonsense!
Of course, this was all theoretical, the actual outcome remained to be seen.
Itsuki still had considerable trust in Shisui's talent.
"Where's Itachi?"
"At the clan office!"
Shisui's expression was odd, "The clan actually approved the proposal for Uchiha Itachi to become the deputy clan leader. Itachi has already started taking over some of the clan's affairs."
Sometimes, Shisui admired his younger brother.
Damn!
He actually pulled it off!
Deputy clan leader?
What the hell was a deputy clan leader? When did the Uchiha have such a position?
When the Uchiha reported it to the Hokage's office, it was said that even the Third Hokage was dumbfounded.
Uchiha Fugaku personally went to explain: Just like the Hokage and the Hokage's assistant, the Uchiha clan leader also needed a helper, and the Uchiha had designated this position as the deputy clan leader!
In the end, the Third Hokage agreed, citing the reason of not interfering in the Uchiha's internal affairs.
He even thoughtfully retained Itachi's Anbu status.
Itsuki sneered at this.
Of course he would agree, that was Uchiha Itachi!
The Itachi whom the Hokage said could think like a Hokage at seven years old.
Let alone deputy clan leader, even if they made him the clan leader, the Third Hokage wouldn't object.
"I have something to do, I'm going out!" Itsuki stood up, "You can find a coffin to sleep in yourself."
Shisui: "..."
That tone was way too casual, as if I wasn't sleeping in a coffin, but a bed.
"Where are you going?"
"The Hokage just summoned me."
Shisui was taken aback, "Just now? No one came just now?!"
"Before you arrived."
"Damn!" Shisui almost jumped up, "Then shouldn't you hurry? You actually..."
Thinking about the time his surgery took, Shisui broke out in a cold sweat.
The Hokage-sama had been waiting for at least four hours.
"What's the rush?"
Itsuki rolled his eyes, "He's not in a hurry to be cremated, and the body won't stink for a while. Are you worried he'll turn into a zombie and run away or something?"
Chapter 65: Lord Danzo, Are You Sunbathing Your Eggs Here?!
Shisui remained resentful even after the surgery was completed and his face was wrapped in bandages.
Eyes? Don't you know how I lost my eyes? As my younger brother, you personally gouged out my eyes! And you're actually using this to mock me? Can't you be a decent human being?

"Besides, even if he runs, it's not a problem!" Itsuki said proudly, "I'm a proud Uchiha, even if he turns into a zombie and runs, I'll catch him back."
"... You're really something!"
"Bye!"
"Sleep tight, no one will dare to cremate you if I'm not back."
Itsuki waved his hand and strolled towards the Hokage's office.
The plan had already been set in motion.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, summoning him this time was probably related to that as well.
Can't hold on anymore, huh?
Old monkey!
However, he also had to be careful.
The Space-Time Clone was indeed powerful, but its use required careful calculation. One mistake, and his life could be in danger.
Itsuki's Mangekyo Sharingan ability: Izanagi!
By sacrificing a large amount of chakra, he could summon a past version of himself as a special clone.
The more chakra he expended, the stronger the summoned clone would be.
Moreover, the summoned clone's chakra was constantly depleting.
And the depletion rate was quite fast!
Itsuki had experimented.
Currently, he could summon his strongest clone, which could last for a month if it didn't engage in combat.
Once it fought, and fought with full power, it wouldn't even last three days.
Just like in the battle with Nagato.
One of his clones was directly scrapped.
"Sigh!"
Itsuki sighed.
When he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan and discovered this ability, his first reaction was: I'm invincible!
Kill one of me, and two more will be born.
The Itsuki Legion was about to be established.
Later, he realized this was simply impossible.
As a top-tier ninja, once his chakra was exhausted, it couldn't be recovered in a short time.
The larger the chakra pool, the slower the recovery.
It was already quite difficult for him to maintain two clones now.
"Accelerate chakra recovery... Tsunade!"
Itsuki instantly locked onto the princess.
Or, a massive amount of chakra!
Tailed Beasts!
Worth a try!
Walking in front of the Hokage Building, Itsuki had already made several extensions to his grand plan.
He just needed to execute them step by step.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Itsuki froze.
What did he see?
A single eye!
Bandages!
A crutch!
An aura of coldness all over.
The one and only in the entire ninja world.
It was Danzo Shimura!
He stared coldly at Itsuki, his eyes filled with unconcealed killing intent.
That darkness made the office workers in the Hokage Building detour around him.
"Oh my!"
Itsuki smiled playfully, "Isn't this our Lord Danzo? What brings you here?"
He looked around and teased, "The sun is just right, are you sunbathing your eggs here?"
The office workers in the Hokage Building were stunned, and several almost burst out laughing.
Although the women blushed and glared at Itsuki, they couldn't hide their smiles.
Did anyone in Konoha like Danzo?
Count them!
Carefully count them!
If there's more than a handful, I lose!
Danzo was also taken aback, almost coughing up blood.
Are you speaking human language?
Sunbathing eggs!?
Go to hell, you sunbathe one and let me see.
He trembled with anger, staring coldly at Itsuki, and gritted his teeth, "Evil Uchiha Itsuki, don't be arrogant. Sooner or later, I'll find evidence of your betrayal to the village."
The two had long since torn off their masks.
After all, no matter how deep Danzo's schemes were, being publicly slapped twice wouldn't allow him to remain indifferent.
In fact, given the chance, Danzo wouldn't let any Uchiha off.
The same went for Itsuki.
If he found an opportunity, he would beat Danzo to death.
Of course, Itsuki had other options.
He had enough strength; the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was enough for him to single-handedly flatten Konoha.
The reason he was playing along was because he was worried about Madara, Black Zetsu, and even the Sage of Six Paths causing trouble in the shadows.
He didn't know what was going on with the Otsutsuki clan either.
For now, keep a low profile!
Besides, teasing Danzo from time to time was quite fun!
Of course, if they pushed Itsuki too far, he wouldn't mind sending them all to reincarnation.
Playing was one thing.
But if even the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan had to endure humiliation, then he would truly become a turtle.
"Stop talking nonsense, who betrayed the village?"
Itsuki curled his lip and said disdainfully, "Everything I've done is for Konoha!"
As soon as he said this, the surroundings instantly fell silent.
Including the office workers!
