Chapter 192 The Price of Innocence (5K, Please Subscribe!) (1/2)
Qianhe walked along the bustling streets of Konoha, looking at the busy shops on both sides, at the happy couples with their children, and at the young lovers holding hands and laughing.
Qianhe knew that peace was not easy to come by. Although he had not participated in the Third World War, due to early graduation, many people had died in the local conflicts between Konoha and Kumogakure in the past few years.
Since graduation, the tasks he has performed have become increasingly difficult and dangerous.
During the Ghost Country mission, Qian He died twice. If he had been in the period of World War III, it would have been even more dangerous.
In order to protect this hard-won peace, how many unknown heroes sacrificed their lives, and how many of them can be remembered when their names are called?
Qianhe could understand Zhishui's eagerness, but Qianhe had already given him a chance.
He sincerely wanted to help Itachi, but Shisui only seemed to believe in himself.
Objectively speaking, Qianhe doesn't blame Zhisui, he just pities him.
Precisely because he was a genius, he was brainwashed by the so-called will of fire of the third generation, and all big problems were removed from his mind.
It was obviously easier to deal with high-level officials than the family. It was a good habit to look for problems within oneself immediately. However, he did not even think about whether others also had problems.
He said he believed in his companions and that people would live in peace, but he was so repulsive to Qian He's intervention.
If you don't have huge doubts about your own beliefs, you won't be able to awaken the ability of "other gods". You can't reason with it and directly force you to change your thoughts.
It is said that violence cannot solve problems, but Qianhe's method of "using violence to solve the problem" is still implemented.
Qianhe didn't expect that Itachi and Zhisui would completely believe him as soon as he opened his mouth. That was nonsense.
But after what he just said, Itachi was obviously thinking, while Zhisui and Qianhe only saw wavering.
There is no problem with the Will of Fire itself, but the problem lies with those who use themselves as the starting point to explain it.
Peace, bond, friendship, mutual understanding, what beautiful words, these are the connotations of the Will of Fire.
However, why is it that the third generation and Danzo are interpreted? Going against them is destroying the peace?
fart!
"Itachi, I will help you solve this problem, Shisui, go with peace of mind..."
Qian He murmured to himself, his eyes flashing.
...
November flies by and it’s the last month of the year.
December 5th.
For more than twenty days, Konoha was calm on the surface, but secretly there was an undercurrent.
Uchiha held a meeting again, and this time, they were really determined to take action, and the time would be at the end of the month.
In the afternoon, Itachi put on his ANBU uniform, put on his long knife and prepared to go out. Just as he was sitting at the entrance to tie his shoelaces, Fugaku in casual clothes came over with a serious look on his face.
"Itachi, are you going out at this time? Don't forget today's meeting!"
Hearing this, Itachi's face suddenly sank, then he turned back and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, father, the ANBU has an important mission, so I have to go, but I will come back as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Fugaku nodded.
When Itachi came to the Anbu and found Shisui, Shisui looked calm. When he saw Itachi, he immediately smiled and said:
"Itachi, you're here."
"Well, let's go, Shisui-san, today is the day to meet with the senior officials." Itachi said solemnly.
Then the two of them left the ANBU building together.
But halfway through, Shisui suddenly said: "Itachi, you go to the Nanga River next to Nanga Shrine and wait for me. Once I convince the higher-ups, I will go find you."
"This..." Itachi was stunned for a moment.
"Itachi, please believe me. I have always regarded you as my younger brother. I have never lied to you. I already have a way to resolve the conflict between the higher-ups and the village. Just wait for my good news."
Shisui's eyes were full of confidence.
"Okay." Itachi looked at Shisui's expression and finally nodded.
Once upon a time, Shisui was also someone Itachi admired, and Itachi regarded Shisui as his own brother.
Although they later had differences in concepts and conflicts, and their relationship was not as close as before, he was still one of Itachi's few close friends.
Although many times Shisui's ideas seemed to Itachi to be empty talk, who doesn't yearn for beautiful things?
"Don't worry." Shisui patted Itachi on the shoulder, then used the teleportation technique and left.
Shisui had his own reasons for not letting Itachi go.
After all, what he was going to say next might not be easy for Itachi to accept.
If you forcibly use the illusion of "other gods" to change a person's mind, is that person still himself?
Shisui himself didn't know, of course, he felt that this was what he had to do and it was the right thing to do, but he felt a little sorry for Itachi.
But Shisui believed that Itachi would understand him afterwards.
For some reason, Qian He's words suddenly appeared in his mind when he was halfway.
However, as Shisui got closer and closer to the Hokage Building, he gradually put Qianhe's words behind him, and his belief became stronger and stronger.
Arriving at the door of the conference room, Shisui took a deep breath and then pushed the door open.
I saw that the Third Hokage, Danzo, Koharu Koharu, and Mito Monen had already arrived.
After the screen retreated, there were only five of them in the entire conference room and the surrounding area.
"Shisui, how's the situation?" The Third Hokage was the first to speak, straight to the point. The Uchiha clan's problems have been around for a long time, and it's also his biggest headache.
"The Uchiha clan has decided to rebel, and tonight's gathering is to mobilize all clan members to participate in the deployment!" Shisui said in a deep voice.
"It has come to this..." The third generation sighed, his face full of regret.
"In this case, let's take the initiative!" Utatane Koharu's eyes were cold.
Danzo on the side looked at Shisui, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and said: "From the look of you, it seems that there is a way to solve it?"
At this time, the eyes of the third generation of Hokage lit up, and hurriedly said: "Shisui, do you have a way?"
Although he had made all preparations, the third generation was unwilling to fight if he could avoid it.
"Yes, third generation, Danzo." As he said, Shisui showed the three-magatama Sharingan, and then the three magatama in his eyes quickly turned, and a black curved four-cornered dart pattern appeared with the pupil as the center.
"What is this!?"
"Mangekyo Sharingan!?"
"What!"
"I didn't expect you to?"
The four senior executives reacted differently. The third generation was shocked, and Danzo was surprised with a hint of joy.
As for the other two advisors, Utatane Koharu was horrified, and Mito Kado En was afraid. Looking at Shisui's scarlet eyes and the mysterious power of the Mangekyō in his eyes, both of them subconsciously stepped back and leaned back on the back of the chair.
The third generation quickly calmed down, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Shisui closed his Sharingan, knelt on one knee and said respectfully:
"Third-generation, because I lost Uncle Taichi on the battlefield, I awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
With this pair of eyes, I am fully confident that I can stop the Uchiha coup."
Danzo on the side narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Even the Mangekyō Sharingan is not enough to deal with the entire Uchiha clan.
In addition, you have opened the Mangekyō but have been hiding until now, your mind cannot help but make people suspicious.
Do you want to use the Mangekyō to control the Nine-Tails to deal with the Uchiha?"
Hearing the Nine-Tails, the faces of the third generation and the other two consultants changed suddenly.
Even the third generation, who had the best Qi training, showed fear in his eyes. If there was another Nine-Tails Rebellion, Konoha might be finished. This time, the fourth generation did not stand up, and he had not yet fully understood the "Shiki Fuujin" left by the fourth generation, and dared not imagine the consequences of releasing the Nine-Tails.
Although Danzo's words had loopholes, the third generation and others could not calm down at all when the Nine-Tails was mentioned.
Upon hearing this, Shisui said earnestly:
"Danzo-sama, I took the initiative to expose my Sharingan to show my sincerity.
I don't want the Uchiha clan's coup to affect the peace of the village more than anyone else!"
At this time, the third generation also calmed down a little. After glancing at Danzo, he said to Shisui:
"Go on, tell me your plan."
"Yes, thank you, third generation." Shisui looked at the third generation gratefully, and then continued:
"The awakened ability of my eyes can change a person's thoughts and will permanently without knowing it.
As long as I use the Sharingan to rewrite the will of the clan leader, I can suppress the clan members and then stop the Uchiha coup.
This can also guarantee the peace of the village to the greatest extent, and no one will bleed."
Shisui's face was full of confidence, and he was also a little clever.
He waited until today to confess to the top leaders, hoping that the top leaders would understand that the matter was imminent. The Uchiha's assembly tonight confirmed the coup and riots could happen at any time.
At this time, even if the village is prepared, it will have to pay a huge price.
And once he really uses the Mangekyo to control Fugaku and then prevent the coup, this is undoubtedly the best outcome for the village, and the village will not suffer any losses.
Although Shisui believes in the village, he is not an idiot and naturally knows what the village is doing secretly.
Even if he fails, it will not be too late for the village to take action.
Of course, this result is what he and the third generation do not want to see.
This is the best method Shisui can think of, and he thinks the top leaders will definitely accept it!
After listening to Shisui's explanation, the third generation and others were shocked again!
"Are you saying that you can permanently change a person's will? ! ! There is also such an illusion?" Utatane Koharu's face turned pale, this is really terrible.
At this time, Danzo's eyes flashed with eagerness, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and said:
"How can we believe that you are not deceiving us?
And if there is such a powerful illusion, why don't you help the Uchiha clan control us old guys?
Wouldn't this just fulfill the Uchiha clan's long-standing wish to be in power?
That is, the position of Hokage..."
Danzo didn't finish his words, but everyone present would understand what he meant.
The eyes of the third generation and the two advisors flickered, and what Danzo said was indeed very reasonable.
Shisui hurriedly explained: "Danzo, my Mangekyo illusion is powerful, but it can only be used on one person at a time, and after using it once, it will take at least several decades to use the 'Kotoamatsukami' illusion again.
If you want to attack the upper echelons, you can only control one person, and there is no way to change the village."
"You mean, if there is a way to control all of us, you will not choose to control Fugaku, right? And how can you prove that the interval of several decades between the use of illusions you mentioned is true?"
Danzo immediately caught the loophole in Shisui's words and switched the concept.
Shisui was speechless by Danzo's question. He didn't know how to refute. He could only look at the third generation with sincere eyes, "Third generation!"
At this time, the third generation Hokage struggled in his heart, but looking at Shisui, he thought of his former teammate Uchiha Kagami.
"I believe in Shisui, just like I once believed in Kagami. Shisui is Kagami's descendant. I think he will protect Konoha like Kagami.
Shisui, I support your approach."
As he said, the third generation looked at the two consultants on the left.
When Koharu Utatane and En Mitomon heard the third generation mention Uchiha Kagami, they couldn't help but recall the time when they supported each other.
After the Second Ninja World War, the third generation first ascended to the position of Hokage. Several of their teammates tried their best to help him, and Kagami even died in the mission.
Looking at Shisui, they seemed to see the shadow of Uchiha Kagami.
Thinking of this, the two consultants nodded to the third generation. Although they didn't speak, their attitude was already very obvious.
Seeing the three people reach a consensus, Danzo lowered his head, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
After getting the consent of the two, the third generation turned his head to look at Danzo.
"Humph!" Danzo snorted coldly and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, the third generation turned his head to look at Shisui and said, "Shisui, you go and do it.
However, in order to ensure that unexpected situations do not occur, from today on, the village will still closely monitor the movements of the Uchiha.
We must prevent all unexpected situations from happening.
And even if you control Fugaku, the remaining Uchiha clan members must be appeased.
If you fail, we..."
"Thank you, third generation! It is right to make more preparations, but I will never fail!" Shisui's face was full of gratitude, and he finally succeeded!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Then I will prepare immediately. At today's meeting, I will rewrite the will of the clan leader, so that the coup can be stopped.
As for the next thing, I will trouble you, the third generation."
"Thank you for your hard work, Shisui. It was originally our job to protect the village, but now it is difficult for you."
"You are serious, the third generation."
"Go."
"Yes."
After Shisui left, Danzo stood up directly, "How can you pin your hopes on the Uchiha clan? You will regret it!"
As he said, he left directly.
The third generation and the other two consultants stayed in the conference room to discuss the aftermath.
"Shisui."
At this time, Shisui had just walked out of the Hokage Building, and Danzo came out from behind and called him.
Shisui's face changed slightly, and he bowed and said: "Danzo."
"I need to know more about your plan." Danzo said lightly.
"This...Okay." Shisui hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
He knew Danzo's prejudice against the Uchiha clan, but he also hoped to convince Danzo.
The two came to the back mountain.
Danzo said directly: "If you change the Uchiha clan, what if the third generation can't do what you promised?"
Shisui was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly: "No, I believe in the third generation, he will keep his promise."
"Even with the third generation's lobbying, the villagers' suspicion of the Uchiha clan will not change easily."
"I understand, but I believe that as long as I spend more time..."
Danzo interrupted Shisui's next words, he lowered his head slightly, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes: "A person as suspicious as me will not change his mind easily, what will you do then?
If I don't change, will you use that technique against me?"
"How could it be, Danzo, I..."
Shisui was still thinking about the words to persuade Danzo, and saw Danzo suddenly appear in front of him in an instant.
"I'll take your Sharingan!"
Shisui was shocked. He didn't expect Danzo to attack him, but he was also an elite who had experienced many life-and-death battles. He reacted almost instantly.
He instantly opened his Sharingan, and the three magatama moved slightly. The moment they looked at each other, Danzo's body softened and fell down.
Shisui grabbed Danzo's arm, "It's just an ordinary illusion. You will recover soon..."
Since the Mangekyō Sharingan was opened and the top illusion was awakened, Shisui's illusion in the three-magatama state became more powerful.
If the power of an ordinary ninja's illusion is 1, it can only be used against people who are weaker than themselves, then the power of the three-magatama is at least 3, which is no problem against people of equal strength.
And Shisui's three-magatama is more than twice the normal three-magatama. Just using illusions, even if someone is stronger than him, he will not be killed by him if he is not careful.
What's more, he didn't even use the Mangekyō. His left eye must be used to deal with the clan leader, and he must not use it.
In order to save pupil power, Shisui didn't even want to waste the short-lived "Kotoamatsukami" of his right eye on Danzo.
The surge in strength in a short period of time made Shisui swell up unconsciously.
After all, after obtaining "Kotoamatsukami", he felt that he could do everything.
However, overconfidence will eventually come at a price. Just after Shisui controlled Danzo, he turned around and left without even looking at him.
"Ah!"
Shisui suddenly screamed, looking at the fist that hit his abdomen and Danzo who suddenly appeared in front of him, his eyes were full of shock.
At this moment, Shisui hesitated for a moment, and then his Mangekyo instantly opened, ready to use his right eye to deal with Danzo.
However, just as he was thinking, his right eye was taken away. Seeing Danzo's hand reaching towards his left eye again, Shisui quickly used the teleportation technique to avoid it.
"Why..." Shisui half-crouched on the ground. The severe pain in his right eye made him break out in cold sweat. He covered his bleeding right eye with an expression of disbelief.
At this time, Danzo slowly took the bandage around his right eye and walked towards Shisui...

Qianhe's family.
Qianhe stood on the balcony, looking at the setting sun and the sky dyed red by the sunset, and couldn't help but murmur:
"The sky is going to change..."
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Xiang Ling tilted his head and looked at Qian He with a puzzled expression.
Qian He glanced at the rippled void in front of him, and a shadow entered his body. Then he smiled at Xiang Phosphorus:
"I mean I want you to go to bed early tonight."
"oh..."
