Chapter 966 Uchiha's Bond

The reason for doing so is nothing more than to guard against the Uchiha clan. Shisui knew this in his heart, but the situation was urgent and there was no room for delay.

"I must see the Hokage now. This is related to the safety of Konoha." Shisui said seriously. The Anbu ninja was unmoved, "I said, the Hokage is not here. If you force your way in, it will be against the rules."

Shisui's eyes became firm, he knew that if this matter was delayed any longer, the consequences would be disastrous. Suddenly, Shisui used the instant body technique, bypassed the Anbu ninja and rushed to the office door. The Anbu ninja was startled and hurriedly chased after him to stop him. Just when he was about to touch Shisui, the office door opened.

The Third Hokage stood at the door and said slowly, "Let him in." The Anbu ninja stopped and stepped aside. Shisui hurried into the office and bowed deeply to the Third Hokage, "Hokage-sama, the Uchiha clan has recently noticed some unusual movements in the village, as if there are external enemies secretly spying on us. At the same time, the emotions of the young ninjas in the clan are fluctuating greatly. I am worried that there is a connection between the two. I hope that Hokage-sama can pay attention to it and discuss countermeasures with me."

The Third Hokage frowned, his eyes solemn, "Shisui, your worry is not without reason. However, there is no definite evidence to show that the two are related." Shisui said anxiously, "Hokage-sama, my Mangekyō Sharingan can sense the approach of danger, and this feeling is very strong." The Third Hokage pondered for a moment and said, "Then do you have any preliminary ideas or suggestions?" Shisui replied, "I think we can secretly investigate the traces of those suspicious outsiders first, and at the same time appease the emotions of the young ninjas in the Uchiha clan to prevent them from taking extreme actions." The Third Hokage nodded, "This matter must not be made public, so as not to cause panic among the villagers. I will arrange for the Anbu to investigate quietly. As for the Uchiha clan, it will be up to you to stabilize the situation." Shisui accepted the order, "Yes, Hokage-sama. But what if someone in the clan refuses to listen to advice and insists on taking action?" The Third Hokage sighed, "Try to persuade them. If there are really extremists, use force to stop them when necessary, but do not cause large-scale casualties." Shisui agreed, and then quickly left the Hokage's office, ready to carry out this difficult task.

Shisui first came to the clan's training ground, where many young ninjas were training, with resentment and anger in their eyes. Shisui stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, I know that everyone has many dissatisfactions in their hearts, but the situation is complicated now, and there are unknown enemies outside the village coveting us. Our internal strife at this time will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage." Some people remained silent after hearing this, but there were still a few radicals who retorted: "Shisui, are we Uchiha going to be suppressed forever?" Shisui opened his Mangekyō Sharingan, and a powerful aura emanated, "I understand your thoughts, but acting impulsively now will only bring disaster. Look around, this is our home, Konoha Village. Once there is a civil strife, it will be destroyed." The radicals were shocked by Shisui's momentum, but they were still unwilling to give in. At this time, Itachi, who had been watching from the side, walked forward, "Brother Shisui, let me help you." Shisui looked at Itachi and nodded slightly. Itachi turned to the young ninjas and said, "My fellow clansmen, I know you think it's unfair, but our current strength is not enough to compete with the entire Konoha high-level. If we act rashly, other clans will definitely unite to deal with us." Everyone heard Itachi's words and began to discuss in a low voice. Just as everyone was discussing, an Uchiha clan member hurried over, "It's bad, the eighth generation has gathered some clansmen and said he wants to go to the Hokage to ask for an explanation." Shisui's face changed, "How can you be so reckless." After saying that, he immediately rushed over there, followed by Itachi.

When they arrived, they saw Yasashiro and a group of clan members blocking the Hokage's office building. Shisui and Itachi quickly walked through the crowd and came to Yasashiro. Shisui said sternly: "Yashiro-sama, what are you doing? This will only intensify the conflict." Yasashiro roared with red eyes: "Shisui, we Uchiha have had enough of this discriminatory treatment. We must get an explanation today."

At this time, the door of the Hokage's office opened again, and the Third Hokage walked out slowly. He looked at everyone calmly, "Everyone in the Uchiha clan, I understand how you feel, but now is definitely not the time to cause trouble. There are dangers everywhere outside the village, and we must unite internally."

Just as the Yashiro was about to speak, Itachi stepped forward and said, "Yashiro-sama, what the Hokage-sama said is correct. If we Uchiha want to truly change our situation, we can't solve it by making trouble. The only right way is to make contributions in resisting foreign enemies."

Yasashi clenched his fists and hesitated. Some people in the crowd began to echo Itachi's words. The Third Hokage continued, "I promise that as long as we get through the current difficulties, I will re-evaluate the status of the Uchiha in the village." Yasashi finally put down his hands and bowed to the Third Hokage, "I hope that Hokage will keep his word." Then he led the tribe members to gradually disperse. Shisui and Itachi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the crisis was temporarily resolved. The Third Hokage stood on the steps in front of the building, looking at them with a calm expression. Yasashi saw Shisui and Itachi rushing over, and snorted coldly, "Don't try to stop us."

Shisui took a step forward and said sincerely: "Uncle Yashiro, doing this will only deepen the misunderstanding and will not benefit our Uchiha clan." Yashiro said angrily: "We have endured enough. Why are we always suspected?"

At this time, Itachi said, "Uncle Yasashige, the Hokage has promised to investigate the threats outside the village and will reconsider our Uchiha status. Making trouble now will only backfire." Yasashige was stunned when he heard this, and the clan members behind him began to waver. The Third Hokage said at the right time: "Uchiha warriors, Konoha cannot do without you. As long as you abide by the rules, I promise to treat you fairly." Yasashige hesitated for a long time, and finally put down his raised fist, and the clan members slowly dispersed. Shisui and Itachi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are we just going to keep swallowing our anger?" a young ninja asked unwillingly.

Itachi replied calmly: "Of course not. What we need to do now is to improve our own strength and win the trust of the villagers. Only when we are strong enough and integrated into Konoha can we truly change our situation."

Shisui continued, "Itachi is right. And the Hokage has already agreed to secretly investigate the threats to the safety of the village, including whether there is a dark force behind the incitement of the young ninjas in our clan. We should not act rashly at this time."

The young ninjas gradually calmed down after hearing this. Shisui and Itachi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the situation had been stabilized for the time being, and the next step was to deal with potential crises step by step according to the plan.

At this time, a figure walked out from the corner. It was Uchiha Itachi. He said calmly, "Brother Shisui is right. What we need now is to calm down." When everyone saw Itachi come forward, their attitude softened a little.

Shisui looked at Itachi gratefully, and then continued, "I just came from Hokage-sama. Hokage-sama has promised to investigate those who are spying on the village from outside. We must also believe that the village will not treat the Uchiha clan unfairly."

However, a sneer suddenly broke out from the crowd. "Huh, can you trust the Hokage's promise?" A mysterious man wearing a mask appeared. Shisui became alert, "Who are you? Why did you sneak into the Uchiha clan?" The mysterious man smiled and said, "I'm just here to pass on a message. You Uchiha will never be able to turn things around. The Konoha high-level officials have long regarded you as a thorn in their side." After saying that, he disappeared.

Shisui felt a chill in his heart, and he realized that things were far more complicated than he had imagined. But he looked at his clan members and said firmly: "No matter what, we can't lose our composure. I will definitely find out the truth." The clan members looked at Shisui with some trust in their eyes. Disaster is coming. The Hokage has promised to secretly investigate external threats, and we must also exercise restraint. "Everyone felt Shisui's determination and gradually calmed down.

Afterwards, Shisui ran around the clan, conveying the Hokage's intentions and calming the clan members. However, Shisui knew in his heart that this was only a temporary calm.

One night, when Shisui was on patrol, he saw several figures from the tribe sneaking out of the village. Shisui followed them quietly. He saw that those people were meeting a group of mysterious people in black robes.

"You are finally here. We Uchiha have had enough of Konoha's oppression. As long as you can help us overthrow the Konoha regime, we are willing to pay any price." One of the Uchiha clan members whispered.

Shisui was shocked. He didn't expect that there would be such a radical person in the clan who colluded with outsiders. He showed up without hesitation, "You are committing treason. Stop this stupid plan!"

When the tribesmen saw Shisui, they were stunned at first, and then they said viciously: "Shisui, don't meddle in other people's business. Do you think the Hokage will really treat us Uchiha fairly?"

Shisui shook his head firmly, "No matter what, this method can only bring destruction." After that, he fought with the traitors and the black-robed man. With the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Shisui gradually gained the upper hand. Seeing that the situation was not good, the traitors wanted to escape. Shisui used his pupil technique to control them and decided to bring them back to the clan to deal with them according to the clan rules. Thinking and keeping an eye on suspicious people. However, he found that there was a mysterious person in the clan who was inciting the emotions of the young ninja. Shisui followed quietly and found that there seemed to be a larger conspiracy group behind this person, whose purpose was to provoke a full-scale war between Uchiha and Konoha. Shisui knew that this matter was difficult, so he decided to find out the core figure of this conspiracy group first to prevent the crisis from getting worse.

After Shisui captured the traitor, he hurried back to the clan to report the incident to the clan leader. The clan leader was shocked and immediately called a clan meeting to discuss countermeasures. While the meeting was going on, there was a sudden noise outside. It turned out that the black-robed man who had escaped earlier had attracted more helpers to attack the Uchiha clan.

Itachi and Shisui were the first to rush out to fight. Those black-robed men had strange movements and cooperated well. But Itachi and Shisui cooperated with each other and fought with the power of Sharingan. When the battle was fierce, the mysterious masked man appeared again. "Do you think you can resist? This is all destined." Shisui shouted angrily: "Who are you? What is the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes?" The mysterious man laughed wildly, "It doesn't matter if I tell you, the power of Uchiha is too strong, and the Konoha high-level has been wary for a long time, and we can use this to stir up disputes and reap the benefits." Shisui and Itachi were angry and worried after hearing the words of the mysterious man. But now they must repel these black-robed men first. Itachi's eyes were stern, and the power of Mangekyō Sharingan was fully opened, performing a powerful fire escape technique, and the flames swept towards the black-robed men. Shisui used pupil techniques to interfere with the actions of the black-robed men, and the two of them worked together to temporarily repel the black-robed men's attack.

At this time, the elders of the clan also joined the battle, and the Uchiha clan showed a strong will to resist. Seeing that the situation was not good, the mysterious man wanted to slip away. Itachi was not willing to let him go, and he flashed and blocked the mysterious man's way. "If you don't tell me all the conspiracies today, you can't leave." Itachi said coldly. The mysterious man suddenly took out a smoke bomb and threw it on the ground, trying to escape while the smoke was thick.

Shisui arrived in time. He locked the mysterious man's position with his Sharingan and shot a kunai, hitting the mysterious man's leg. The mysterious man fell to the ground and was subdued by Itachi. Under the questioning of Itachi and Shisui, the mysterious man finally revealed the hiding place of the power behind him. The Uchiha clan decided to take the initiative to destroy this conspiracy organization that attempted to destroy peace. Itachi and Shisui became the key forces of this counterattack. They embarked on the journey with firm beliefs.

Itachi's eyes were stern, "I will never let you succeed." He and Shisui simultaneously burst out with stronger power, their Sharingan flashing with light. The two stood back to back, dealing with wave after wave of attacks.

When the battle was at a stalemate, other masters in the clan also joined the battle. They worked together and gradually turned the tide of the battle. The black-robed men began to retreat step by step.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious man knew that his plan had failed, and snorted coldly, "I'll let you go today, but you'll be in trouble in the future." After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.

The relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha was eased to a certain extent after this incident. Everyone understood the importance of unity and external confrontation. Itachi and Shisui also became more determined to protect their family and village. They knew that there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future. The secret man appeared again, standing on a high place, and sneered.

"You Uchiha are doomed to perish." As he spoke, he formed seals with his hands, and a strange force enveloped the battlefield. The Uchiha began to feel heavy and their movements slowed down.

At the critical moment, Itachi endured the pressure and activated the new ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan. A ray of light broke through the darkness and broke the seal of the mysterious man. Shisui took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and fought side by side with Itachi to repel the black-robed man and the mysterious man.

After this battle, the Uchiha clan was still in fear, but more united. Itachi and Shisui knew that the forces behind this conspiracy were not simple, and they had to be more cautious to protect the peace between the clan and Konoha.
