Chapter 44: Kaleidoscope
Hokage Building.
By the time Zhishui arrived, it was completely dark.
A dark shadow hung over the building, and without the slightest hesitation, he walked into the building.
Before entering the Hokage's office, a shadow ninja landed in front of Shisui and reached out to intercept Shisui's path.
Shisui looked at the dark ninja and said, "I'm sorry, I have important matters to discuss with Hokage-sama right now. β
The shadow replied, "Hokage-sama is not here, he has already gone back from work to rest, you can come back tomorrow." β
There was a lot of toughness in the tone.
For the Uchiha clan, he doesn't have too much bad feelings, but he doesn't have too much good feelings, he just fulfills his duties as a dark ninja according to the regulations.
Shisui gritted his teeth and looked at the office door, he knew that the third generation of Hokage Ape Fei Hi was on the other side of the door and did not leave at all.
The reason for this is to exclude him.
This means that the three generations of Hokage already know the content of the internal gathering of the Uchiha not long ago.
Zhishui sighed, as if draining all the strength in his body, and returned the same way.
After the dark part watched the water stop, it disappeared from the hallway, as if it had never appeared.
When Shisui just walked to the main entrance of the Hokage Building, he immediately saw three figures, and his body was suddenly stunned.
The three people who appeared in the field of vision of stopping the water were none other than the advisor Koharu Zhuan, Mito Menyan, and the root leader Shimura Danzo.
Behind them, there were two members of the Shadows.
Seeing Zhishui appear here, the three of them were also slightly surprised.
"Mirror descendants? You're called Stop Water, right? β
Danzang was the first to speak, his eyes shining in the cave, as if he was caught in a memory.
Zhishui nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, Elder Tuanzang. β
"Well, you are very good, the name of stopping the water in an instant, even the old man is like thunder. is worthy of being the descendant of the mirror, and there is no face to lose the mirror. β
After saying this, Tuan Zang passed past Shisui.
Zhuan Koharu and Mito Menyan were also satisfied and nodded to the water stop, expressing their praise for the water stop.
Among the Uchiha clan, only Susui is different.
The Uchiha Mirror is a comrade-in-arms who was born and died with them in the past, and as a descendant of the Uchiha Mirror, he naturally cannot be equated with ordinary Uchiha people.
Zhishui was not in a good mood to stay here, and after seeing the three of Tuan Zang appear here, he knew that the matter was completely irreparable.
It is impossible for the three high-ranking elders to suddenly come to visit the Hokage during such a period, and there is only one reason why they all came here - that is, the three generations of Hokage summoned them here.
And the content of the meeting, Shisui can also guess, it must be for the content of the Uchiha clan's assembly.
Itachi, you've messed things up. Zhishui smiled bitterly in his heart.
Failing to stop Itachi in time was his mistake.
At the rally, the verbal altercation between Uchiha Yashiro and Itachi, he realized that it was not a second.
It's just that Itachi's decisiveness completely exceeded his expectations.
"What's next?"
Zhishui constantly thinks about this question.
If it happens, regret won't help, then you have to take action to solve the problem.
The way to boil frogs in warm water is no longer suitable.
Itachi's actions completely upset the delicate balance between the clan and the village.
Whether it is the family being harmed, or the village being devastated, involving countless innocent civilians and triggering a ninja war, it is all Shisui who does not want to see.
In this complex state of mind, Zhishui's mood quickly became irritable.
Even if his parents gave him this name, they hoped that no matter what he faced, he would be calm and not lose his calmness.
But in the face of the trade-off between the family and the village, he can't do this kind of state of mind like water.
Eventually, he made up his mind.
In this irritable state of mind, the torment revealed the writing wheel of his eyes.
In the darkness, the chakra emitted a red glow, and the three magatama slowly fused to form a pattern that looked like a giant magatama.
Kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.
The Uchiha clan's supreme pupil technique.
A tingling sensation welled up in the eyes.
Zhishui couldn't help but cover his eyes, and the hot stuff flowed into it, making his brain extremely heavy.
"Really, I didn't expect that in the end, I would need to rely on this kind of power to save the situation......"
A self-deprecating smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth.
It is precisely because of these eyes that the more I understand my past and present self, how impotent and fragile I am.
I really don't want to use this power if I can.
β
"Hizai, what do you mean by letting us come over at this time?"
In the office where the Hokage was, the three of them had already arrived, and in the face of the summons of the three generations of Hokage Ape Tobi Hichi, Koharu took the lead in asking questions.
I don't know what the dark department sent to look for them at this time.
Hizaki sat there, took a puff from the pipe on the table, and after exhaling the smoke, said to the air around him, "Itachi, come out and tell me what you know." β
After the sun slashed, Itachi, dressed in a dark costume, quietly stepped out of the shadows.
Due to the mask on his face, outsiders cannot see what Itachi's facial expression is at the moment.
"Itachi Uchiha?"
Mito Menyan nodded secretly.
Like the instantaneous water stop, Itachi is also a rare genius of the Uchiha clan.
It is also the first Uchiha ninja in Konoha history to join the shadows.
His accession, although it caused quite a stir two or three years ago, was suppressed by them, and this opposition disappeared.
And Itachi also lived up to their expectations, and in just two or three years, he completed the task with 100% efficiency, and was promoted from an ordinary dark department to a dark team leader.
A year ago, he was specially promoted to the captain of the dark department, managing the dark department of four classes.
This is already a great expectation and importance for a thirteen-year-old boy.
What's more, it's even more rare to be from the Uchiha clan.
It is a ninja of the will of fire who can think outside the family and can completely dedicate everything to the village, which is the model student of the Konoha ninja.
Danzou also glanced at Itachi, then closed his eyes and sat there without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
"So, is something going on over there with the Uchiha?"
Turning to bed, Koharu asked.
Itachi bowed slightly to the three of them, and then replied, "Yes, the Uchiha clan held a secret meeting tonight, and the content of the meeting is ......"
The conflict between himself and Uchiha Yashiro was hidden, and the rest of the part was completely narrated by Itachi.
The radical ideology of the Uchiha eight generations of the head clan attempted to establish a political collective in the village that belonged exclusively to the Uchiha clan.
His father, Fugaku, acquiesced in such an act and did not stop it.
After hearing Itachi's brief and direct narration, Koharu and Mito Menyan both changed their faces.
They knew that the Uchiha clan had been unstable since the Nine-Tails incident, but they didn't expect it to really come to this point.
"If I'm not mistaken, a few years ago, Danzo predicted that the Uchiha clan would rebel in a coup d'Γ©tat, hoping that the shadows would take action......"
Mito Menyan turned his head and glanced at Tuanzo, who was sitting next to him, and said softly.
"I'm just making this reasonable guess based on the information I have. Ever since the sacrifice of the fourth generation of Mizumon to seal the Nine-Tails, the radicals of the Uchiha clan have coveted the position of Hokage. In addition, the coup d'Γ©tat of the fourth generation of Mizukage Shikura in the fog also gave them the illusion that they could rely on the coup to seize power...... This is where the bane comes from. β
Tuan Zang said these words calmly, causing several people in the room to ponder.
"It's a bit too absolute to say that a coup d'Γ©tat can't happen overnight. Moreover, it is only this possibility, and the Uchiha clan has not yet acted. β
The three generations of Hokage said there.
"By the time they do, it's too late."
Tuan Zang and Hizai faced each other-for-tat, and the gaze in his eyes did not back down.
"I think we can still negotiate with the Uchiha clan, and there is no need to fight each other."
"What if they did make a coup?"
"As the Hokage, I will take it all in!"
Hizashi said firmly.
"Humph!"
Tuan Zang snorted coldly, thinking that the day slash was just a nice thing to say.
"Alright, you two don't have to argue. At present, it seems that the Uchiha clan does not have to be a real coup, maybe it is just talk, and it can't be too sensitive. β
Zhuan Xiaochun looked at the two of them, Hizai and Tuanzang, who were targeting each other, and shook his head slightly.
"That's right, it will depend on what happens next. Itachi, you continue to listen to the Uchiha clan and report back to us in a timely manner. The future of the village and the clan is up to you. β
Mito Menyan looked at Itachi and said in a serious tone.
"Yes. So, I'll step back first. β
Itachi nodded, and his figure flashed, disappearing from the office, leaving space for Hizari, Danzou and the others to continue to discuss the affairs of the Uchiha clan.
β
Minamiga Shrine.
After Itachi left the Hokage's office, he did not return directly to his home or to the shadows, but returned to Nanga Shrine alone.
Enter the shrine, turn the mechanism, and the steps leading to the underground will appear, and Itachi will walk down this secret passage.
Here, he saw the ancient stone tablets of the Uchiha clan.
But unlike in the past, in the secret room where there was usually no one, a mysterious person appeared, standing in front of the Uchiha stele, looking down at the stele, as if he was very fascinated.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Itachi did not hide his tracks and came to the mysterious man.
The other party is wearing an orange-yellow spiral mask and a red cloud coat on a black background, and his image is extremely mysterious.
"Itachi Uchiha."
The mysterious man called out the name of the weasel, turned sideways slightly, and in the small hole on the left side of the mask, the scarlet eyes of the three-hooked jade writing wheel appeared, making the weasel's body tremble.
"It's me."
Itachi barely managed to compose himself.
"I haven't seen each other for four or five years, long time no see."
The mysterious man accosted the weasel in a familiar tone.
Itachi's eyes showed a hint of hatred, and then suppressed it.
Indeed, he and this mysterious man have not seen each other for four or five years.
When he was still in the Mizuki Tezuki Squad, it was this man who killed Izumo Denma and forced him to open the Sharingan for the first time.
Although the image has changed, he will not feel wrong about this cold writing wheel.
This person is very dangerous.
"Are you the one who instigated the eight generations behind their backs?"
Itachi asked.
"Oh? Why do you think so? β
The man chuckled and asked with interest.
"If they had the courage, they would not have suddenly proposed a coup d'Γ©tat at this time, they would have acted earlier. And ......"
Itachi's voice narrowed as he said this.
"And what?"
"You've been paying attention to my growth, and even forced me to open the Writing Wheel, at that time, you deliberately killed Chuanma in front of me. Sensei Shui Wuyue is a good ninja, but if you want to kill him, you can do it with one move. And after you killed the horse, you left the ......."
Itachi tried to suppress the anger in his heart, but sadly, he couldn't do anything.
Izumo Denma, it can be said that he has one of his few friends.
Although the relationship was not good at the time, they were also comrades-in-arms who fought side by side.
And because this man wanted to open his eyes, Chuan Ma was tortured and killed in front of him.
That scene is still remembered in my mind and has become an indelible shadow.
"Remarkable. Indeed, I am leaving these messages so that you will notice my presence. β
The man clapped his hands and praised.
"And who are you?"
Itachi raised his head and looked at the man fearlessly.
After laughing twice, the man turned around and continued to look at the Uchiha Stone Tablet, and sighed lightly, full of vicissitudes.
"You can guess this kind of thing with your toes. What's more, it's a genius like you. β
ββ¦β¦β
Itachi was silent for a moment.
Indeed, this kind of thing should be known without thinking about it that way.
With the eyes of the writing wheel, he ignored the Konoha barrier and infiltrated the interior of Konoha Village, and acted without hindrance in the land of the Uchiha clan, and even the situation of this secret room was clear......
And the Uchiha male who was completely forgotten by Konoha.
There is only one person I can think of - Madara Uchiha.
"You should have died a long time ago, and now you are instigating the coup d'Γ©tat of the eight generations behind the scenes, what is it for?"
Itachi asked.
"Hehe, you are actually wrong about this, I didn't incite them."
Madara smiled.
"What?"
"Believe it or not, Uchiha Yashiro them, I haven't been in contact with them at all. It's just that the contradictions between the village and them have accumulated too much, and they just happened to explode at this time. I've always been here for one reason, and that's to get your power. β
"My power?"
Itachi was a little surprised.
But then he calmed down, he couldn't tell if Madara's words were true or false, and he couldn't be led by the other party.
"Yes. For me, as long as I get your power, the current situation of the Uchiha clan has nothing to do with me. β
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I won't betray Konoha like you."
Itachi said firmly, looking at Madara with hostility in his eyes.
"That's not for sure, a ninja like you whose life is full of thorns, Konoha doesn't have the right soil for you to survive. You'll definitely come to my side. β
Madara smiled meaningfully, turned and walked away, his breath vanishing in the secret room.
Itachi took a deep breath when he saw where Madara had disappeared.
Uchiha, Konoha, Madara...... Things are getting more and more complicated.
What should I do myself?
β
"The plan is going well, Ah Fei."
On the shadow rock of Konoha, Madara wearing a red cloud coat on a black background stood on the shadow rock of the original Hokage blowing the evening breeze, and next to him, a mixture of white and black absolute came out of the rock, and Bai Jue said with a smile.
No longer the low and hoarse who was at Nanhe Shrine just now, calling himself Madara, Bai Jue, whose real name is Ah Fei, let out a long breath.
"Oops, playing Madara-sama is really exhausting, and these god-like chatter lines you designed make me want to complain too much. I almost couldn't help it just now, and I wanted to ask him what it was like to poop. β
Hei Jue and Bai Jue were embarrassed for a moment, if they had asked this kind of question in front of Itachi just now, that scene would ...... It's terrible enough.
"Anyway, it's left enough fear and jealousy for Uchiha Itachi to keep him doing what we do. Danzou will also cooperate with us. β
Black Jedi said.
"Is Tuanzang really willing?"
Ah Fei couldn't help but ask.
Kuro replied affirmatively, "Definitely, not only Danzo, but also the three generations of Hokage." β
"Huh?"
Hei Jue's statement surprised Bai Jue and Ah Fei.
Forget about the group, how could the three generations of Hokage join in? Isn't the other side a neutral?
Hei Jue sneered: "If the Konoha high-level really plans to make peace with the Uchiha clan, in the past two or three years, Itachi has joined the dark department, and the three generations of Hokage have many opportunities to contact and negotiate with the Uchiha clan." And then that didn't happen. The three generations of Hichisha refused to negotiate the conflict with the Uchiha clan, and just endured and waited for the Uchiha coup to happen. β
"Impossible, right?"
"If you can't keep up with the times, the ninjutsu doctor who is dying of age will also be unable to do things because of aging. He didn't have the time or confidence to balance the contradictions between the Uchiha clan and the village, and since he couldn't balance the contradictions, there was only one solution left to solve this contradiction...... It is enough to coldly engrave the name Uchiha in history and become a remnant of history. What cannot be controlled will be destroyed, this is the reality. β
A hint of coldness flashed in Hei Jue's eyes.
Ah Fei couldn't help but swallow his saliva, frightened by Hei Jue's statement.
"The will of the human body will gradually decline as the body ages, and there are too few existences like Madara-sama in the ninja world. Konoha is obviously already going downhill, and when the matter here is over, he can shift the focus of the matter to someone else. Don't forget, who killed Madara-sama. The enemy we should guard against the most is not Konoha. β
The black gaze is faint, and it is exceptionally bright in the dark.
β
Next.
Shisui once again came to the Hokage Building, and met the three generations of Hokage apes flying to the sun.
This time, instead of stopping him like he had done last night, the Shadows let him go straight into the office and meet the Hokage.
After Zhishui entered, Zhishui found that the breath in the office began to disappear, and the dark parts had all been withdrawn, leaving only him and the three generations of Hokage here.
After a brief silence, Zhishui suddenly didn't know how to speak.
However, in this wordless silence, it was Ri Choi who took the lead in breaking the embarrassment.
"Shisui, are you here because of the Uchiha clan gathering last night?"
Hearing that Ri Shu had already asked, Zhishui knew that it was impossible to hide it, and he was relieved in his heart, nodded and said, "Yes." β
Hizai sighed, and his smile revealed a hint of helplessness: "You, you're still so conservative, if it weren't for Itachi, maybe we wouldn't know anything about things there." β
Shisui was a little ashamed in his heart, as the hidden dark part of Konoha, he should have reported the content of the Uchiha clan's gathering here as soon as possible to prove his loyalty to the village.
However, if that kind of content is exposed, the slightest carelessness will put the clan and the village into a place of no return.
Until a solution is found, Zhishui doesn't think it's something that can be easily revealed.
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, I ......"
"Don't blame yourself so much, things have come to this point, neither of us expected. I also understand your mood at the moment, you are the descendant of the mirror, you don't need to be restrained by me. Regardless, I always believe in your loyalty to the village. β
The attitude of the day is always gentle, with a sense of intimacy.
"Yes. It's me who didn't think it through, Hokage-sama. β
Hearing what Hizai said, Zhishui felt even more guilty in his heart.
"According to Itachi's report, we have already discussed the matter of the Uchiha clan's gathering. Although Danzou seems to advocate the use of force to suppress it, I don't think the situation is yet to be so extreme, and there is still time for the village and the Uchiha to de-escalate. It is not advisable to continue to provoke the radicals of the Uchiha at this time. β
The words of the sun slash made the water stop relax.
At least from the current point of view, as the Hokage, Hizai still wants peace to be precious.
If the Hokage resolutely adopts a policy of military suppression against the Uchiha clan, that will be the worst part.
"However, all this is based on the fact that the Uchiha clan has not yet couped and there is room for mitigation. Once the coup d'Γ©tat began, it could not be resolved by negotiation. I hope you can understand this. β
"I understand this, Hokage-sama."
"That's good. I hope that you and Itachi will continue to buy me time and give me enough time to think of a solution. There's no need to worry about it, I'll suppress him and won't let the roots come to me. So, next ......"
Hizai was about to say his thoughts, but Zhishui hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind, and immediately interrupted:
"Hokage-sama, I have a better way to deal with this."
"Huh?"
The words of stopping the water directly attracted the attention of the day slash, and I wanted to know what solution there was to stop the water.
If it worked, it would prevent the village from fighting the Uchiha clan.
Zhishui took a deep breath and told the secret that had been hidden for a long time in a calm tone:
"Hokage-sama, do you know the legend of our Uchiha clan about the Kaleidoscope Sharingan?"
"Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye?"
Hizaki's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Zhishui with shocked eyes.
Kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes, this kind of eyes he naturally knows.
His teacher, the second generation Hokage Senju, is the person who has studied the Wheel Eye the most thoroughly.
Many of the large documents he left behind are secrets about the writing wheel.
Among them, there is a kaleidoscope writing wheel eye part of the content.
Zhishui suddenly mentioned this kind of thing at this time, and Ri Chop had a bold idea in his heart.
"Stop the water, don't you ......"
Zhishui raised his head and exchanged his eyes with the sun.
The three magatama in the eyes began to change, forming a gigantic magatama-like pattern, detaching from the foundation of the regular magatama.
A feeling of palpitations rose from the bottom of his heart, trying to suppress the surprise in his heart.
At this moment, Hizai had a hunch that stopping the water could already threaten his life.
"Hokage-sama, this is my kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, and it is also the source of my confidence to stop the family coup."
Zhishui's words were full of confidence.
"Impossible, even if it's a kaleidoscope writing wheel......"
"I can do it, Hokage-sama. My Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye Pupil Technique is called Betianjin, and it can erode the opponent's brain and modify the will without anyone noticing. As long as I use this pupil technique to control the words of the Fugaku patriarch and let him oppose the coup, no matter how much they are persecuted, it is useless for them to cross the authority of the patriarch to launch a coup d'Γ©tat. β
The firm voice of stopping water sounded in the office, and it also represented his determination.
In the view of stopping the water, the method of daily slashing is too slow and does not adapt to the current situation at all.
It is likely that while thinking about countermeasures, the Uchiha clan suddenly staged a coup d'Γ©tat.
This is where the water stop is most worried.
Therefore, Zhishui did not avoid the attention of the sun, and firmly established his position and responsibilities:
"The affairs of the Uchiha clan will be left to the ninjas of the Uchiha clan to solve. Rest assured, Hokage-sama, I'll take care of this. β
In this way, the Uchiha clan, which was feared by the higher-ups, no longer existed.
After that, he also had enough time to cooperate with the actions of the three generations of Hokage to ease the relationship between the village and the clan.
As for the ferret...... Zhishui sighed in his heart.
His original intention was to hope that after Itachi joined the Shadows, he would establish a bridge of communication with the village leaders as the young master of the Uchiha clan and the village leaders.
However, as it stands, Itachi is not up to the task.
On the contrary, because of his existence, the contradictions between the family and the village broke out further, and he was forced to expose his kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes at this moment.
