"Change Fugaku's mind? Make the Uchiha clan stop rebelling?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Shisui, a trace of surprise flickering in his eyes!
He and Danzo exchanged glances.
Their initial plan was to have Uchiha Shisui and Itachi personally take on the mission, making them fight against their own clan, leading to mutual bloodshed. They would then step in to clean up the aftermath.
But now…
Shisui had stepped forward and said something like this?
He claimed that, with a little time, he could change the Uchiha clan's rebellion? That he could make Fugaku stop rebelling?
However, what they intended wasn't for the Uchiha clan to simply submit—it was for the Uchiha clan to vanish completely. Disappear without a trace.
"I can change the clan leader's will!" Uchiha Shisui nodded seriously, his eyes filled with resolve.
But his face held a trace of pleading.
He hoped Hokage-sama would give him a chance.
"Hmph, you make it sound so easy. But what if you fail?" Danzo sneered, looking at Shisui with disdain. He sneered, "Do you really think Fugaku's will is so easy to change?"
"I can change it!" Shisui nodded firmly again.
"How do you plan to persuade them?" Danzo scoffed as he sat back down, his tone dripping with contempt. "Tell me, what's your plan?"
"Both of you must know that once the Sharingan unlocks the Mangekyō, new abilities emerge," Uchiha Shisui said, looking at Sarutobi and Danzo. He deliberately left out further details.
"What's your new ability?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, his curiosity piqued.
He knew that when the Sharingan unlocked the Mangekyō, it would not only allow access to new powers but could also awaken unique abilities.
But unfortunately,
He had no idea what Uchiha Shisui's new ability was.
And he couldn't figure out why Shisui was so confident he could change Fugaku's will.
"My ability can be considered genjutsu, or maybe not!" Uchiha Shisui said with confidence as he looked at the two. "My ability allows me to change a person's thoughts. For example, if I tell Fugaku to be loyal to Konoha, he would follow it without question!"
Huh?
As soon as these words were spoken, the room became extremely quiet. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo both showed shock on their faces!
Such a power?
It's terrifying!
If Uchiha Shisui used his genjutsu on them to force them to step down from the Hokage position and swear loyalty to the Uchiha clan, would Sarutobi Hiruzen also have to obey?
It was clear: the Uchiha's powers, especially when used for evil, were that dangerous!
The two of them exchanged a look, and the shock was clearly visible in their eyes.
This ability was too frightening.
From now on, they could never let Shisui get close to them. This power was too dangerous. If they weren't careful, he might even alter their memories!
Luckily, Shisui's thoughts were still simple for now.
"Is that really your ability?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a smile.
"Yes. But using this ability consumes a lot of chakra, and it takes a long time to recover after using it!" Uchiha Shisui, trusting the Third Hokage, revealed his ability and its drawback.
He trusted Danzo as well.
"Then tell me your plan," Sarutobi Hiruzen said casually, taking a puff from his pipe and looking at Shisui.
"I plan to use my Mangekyo Sharingan ability during the next clan meeting to change the clan leader's mindset!" Uchiha Shisui shared his thoughts and how he planned to use his abilities.
Itachi, listening to Shisui's plan, nodded in agreement.
This plan was good!
Even though it involved changing his father's will, it could prevent a disaster from happening!
It was a win-win!
At least they wouldn't have to see the bloody consequences.
Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to Uchiha Shisui's plan and laughed. "Haha. Great, this plan can end the coup without a fight. This is the result I wanted to see!"
"Focus on this matter for the next few days. You don't need to join Anbu missions for now."
Sarutobi's smile was still as fake as ever. He was also using this chance to keep Uchiha Shisui away from him!
He didn't want Shisui getting too close. Right now, Shisui was an unstable factor. He feared that Shisui might actually change his mind!
It was better to stay away from him.
"Hiruzen…" Shimura Danzo clearly wasn't happy.
"This is decided. If Shisui can end this crisis without a war, that's the best outcome!" Sarutobi glared at Danzo, signaling him to stop talking.
Danzo wisely kept quiet after that.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama! I will change the clan leader's mind!" Uchiha Shisui said, nodding excitedly. This time... the Hokage had given him a chance, and he was determined to complete the task!
"Think carefully about how you should handle this matter!" Sarutobi waved his hand, signaling Shisui to leave. He also gave a final warning. "Shisui, this is your one and only chance!"
"Understood!" Shisui nodded and left the room with Itachi.
They were still speaking excitedly as they walked away, likely thanking the Third Hokage for sparing the Uchiha clan.
Once they were far enough, Danzo couldn't hold back his doubts anymore. "Hiruzen, you're really just going to give up on eliminating the Uchiha clan? This is a golden opportunity!"
"The Uchiha clan is evil. How could I let them go?" Sarutobi took another puff of his pipe, his expression turning cold. "Moreover, a power that can change someone's mind and will should never exist. It should never appear!"
"Hmph. Only the evil Uchiha clan could possess such a power!"
After hearing about Shisui's ability, Sarutobi Hiruzen had completely decided to eliminate the Uchiha clan.
A clan that is not controlled… someone from it has awakened such a terrifying ability. He cannot allow people like this to exist in Konoha. They must die!
"As I thought, the Uchiha clan must be destroyed!" Shimura Danzo said, showing a sinister smile. "Shisui's ability has made them too dangerous to ignore!"
"Danzo, according to our previous plan, it's time to act. Kill Shisui!" Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff from his pipe, his eyes narrowed as if thinking about something.
At first, he had planned to keep Shisui alive for a while longer, but now that Shisui has this kind of ability...
Hmph,
He won't be allowed to live anymore. Such power should not exist!
He cannot have such unstable factors in the village. It's like having someone who is your enemy and could kill you at any time, always by your side.
So, sorry, Shisui.
"I will do it!" Shimura Danzo said with a slight smile, finally able to take action against the Uchiha! Those Uchiha eyes will be his!
After receiving the order from Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo stood up and walked out.
Now that he knew about Shisui's abilities, he had to figure out a way to deceive him and then act!
"Wait!" But just as he was about to leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen called out to him.
"What else?" Danzo turned back to ask.
"If you fail, you know what to do, right?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo, speaking slowly.
"Don't worry!" Danzo replied with a calm smile. "I will make sure it's done cleanly. If I fail, it will be my responsibility, and I'll commit suicide. I won't let Shisui get any information!"
After saying that, Danzo opened the door and left. The room was left with only Sarutobi Hiruzen, who continued to smoke his pipe.
In his eyes, there was an unclear darkness.
