Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 281 Shisui's Professional Training

A week later, the news of Shisui's disappearance spread like wildfire, causing an uproar within the Uchiha clan, and even a clan meeting was held to discuss the matter.

Although Shisui has always been at odds with the radical jonin in the clan, his views tend to be dovish.

But no Uchiha would doubt Shisui's strength. Shisui possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan, which allows him to activate the legendary Susanoo and confront the tailed beasts head-on.

How could such a strong man suddenly disappear? There must be a big conspiracy behind this.

As the Uchiha ninjas searched, they soon found a suicide note in Shisui's home, which expressed Shisui's despair about the current situation of his family and village.

Shisui didn't know whether to stand on the side of the village or the side of the family.

Under the pressure of being caught in a dilemma, Shisui lost the desire to live and chose to commit suicide.

Fugaku and other Uchiha jonin did not believe the contents of the suicide note. Shisui could not be so fragile, and the owner of the Mangekyō Sharingan could not die in such a joking way.

Shisui must have been attacked by someone and died after his Mangekyō Sharingan was taken away.

The attackers are most likely the Konoha high-ranking officials led by the Third Hokage. The others simply do not have the strength to compete with Uchiha Shisui.

However, many ninjas pointed their suspicion at Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi is a genius who is no less than Uchiha Shisui, and he has a very good relationship with Shisui. If Itachi wants to take away the Mangekyō Sharingan and launch a sneak attack, his success rate is not low.

The most crucial thing is that Itachi's refusal to hand over the list of Anbu members has been regarded as a traitor within the clan, and Itachi has completely become a lackey of the Senju clan.

But no matter what, with the death of Shisui, the clan's top master, their coup plan was stillborn.

Without the Mangekyō Sharingan, the Uchiha would not be a match for the Senju clan.

However, the Uchiha jonin believed that the Uchiha clan would eventually find an opportunity for a coup. If they were not prepared the first time, they would prepare for the second time.

Itachi felt very wronged by the pointing and criticizing of his fellow tribesmen, and he hated these stupid tribesmen even more.

Shisui's disappearance had nothing to do with him, and it was even more impossible that the suicide note was forged by him. However, according to the information provided by Shinobi Crow, Shisui had fought a great battle outside Konoha Village before he disappeared.

I just don’t know if the attacker is the masked man or someone else. It’s also possible that Konoha’s top leaders took action.

No matter what, Brother Shisui used his life to stop the coup plan within the clan and delayed the time when the conflict between the family and the village broke out.

But it is predictable that the next coup within the tribe will be more violent.

As time went by, the news of Shisui's disappearance gradually spread throughout the entire Konoha Village. Many Uchiha ninjas who opposed Shisui were relieved about his death.

After losing Shisui, the powerful Mangekyo master, the Uchiha's strength will decline significantly.

Most of the ninjas felt sorry for Shisui's death. After all, Shisui was still a ninja of Konoha, and the existence of the Mangekyō Sharingan could also deter other ninja villages that were ready to make a move.

Now that Shisui, who was able to check and balance the tailed beasts, is dead, other ninja villages may take action soon.

Konoha has only enjoyed peace for a few years, and yet there is a risk of war so soon.

……

Shisui, who was staying in the Root organization's base, was indifferent to the rumors outside. He also wanted to see what the Konoha Ninja Village had to say about his death.

During the week he spent at the Root Organization base, he had learned how to play the role of the Root Organization leader.

This is inseparable from the subtle observation ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the help of Danzo himself. If Danzo had not made the Root a one-man show, his risk of exposure would actually be quite high. Just as Shisui was recalling his experiences over the past week, the Root knocked on the door and brought the news that the Hokage had summoned him.

Faced with the summons from the Third Hokage, Shisui's expression changed.

He didn't know if he could hide it from the Third Hokage and his advisory duo, but since he had decided to become Danzo, he would have to face these Konoha high-ranking officials one day.

After a cold snort showing his disdain for the Third Hokage, Shisui walked towards the Hokage building.

Seeing that Shisui expressed dissatisfaction with the Third Hokage, the Root Ninjas did not react much. Their leader always treated the Third Hokage with abusive attitude.

But no matter what outrageous things the leader does, he will be forgiven by the Third Hokage.

Not long after, Shisui met the Third Hokage in the Hokage's office. The Third Hokage was looking at him with a cold face, and his brows were full of dissatisfaction.

The Third Hokage doubts my identity, or is this how the Third Hokage treats Danzo?

While Shisui was thinking, the Third Hokage spoke up, "Danzo, have you heard about Shisui's disappearance?"

Shisui looked puzzled and began to play the role of Danzo:

"News on Shisui's disappearance? When did he disappear? I've been at the base the past few days and haven't paid much attention to the Uchiha."

The Third Hokage snorted coldly and said straight to the point: "It's impossible that you don't know about Shisui. That day, you didn't know about Shisui's Mangekyō Technique, but you were missing for a whole afternoon."

"Shisui also disappeared after that. It was obviously you who did it."

"In order to covet the Mangekyō Sharingan, you finally attacked Shisui. Shisui is one of the few Uchiha who has not moved towards the village!"

If it were in the past, Shisui would have been deeply moved to hear these words from the Third Hokage.

It was Danzo Shimura who wanted to deal with the Uchiha. The Third Hokage had been trying to ease the tension between the Uchiha and Konoha, even going so far as to reprimand the top brass for this.

But after stealing the identity of the leader of Danzo's organization, he knew that things were not that simple.

The Third Hokage did not have any thoughts about the Uchiha, but he acquiesced to Danzo's actions, and the act of actively telling Kotoamatsukami's secret was itself a hint.

The Third Hokage was afraid of Kotoamatsukami's power, but he didn't want to destroy his glorious image.

Is such a ninja really suitable to be the Hokage?

Shisui was very skeptical.

After pondering for a long time, Shisui began to make up a lie:

"Huruzen, I admit that I attacked Shisui, but it was all for the sake of the village. Shisui's Kotoamatsukami is too much of a threat to us, and I must get rid of him myself."

"Unfortunately, Shisui's strength was stronger than I thought. In the end, I was unable to defeat him and he escaped."

"You really did attack Shisui..." The Third Hokage said uncertainly: "But Kotoamatsukami must still be on you. Shisui is not such a fragile person. It is impossible for him to commit suicide."

Shisui also said with a grim expression:

"Do you really think I have the strength to deal with Shisui? If I really had taken down Shisui, I would have sent someone to take action against Uchiha a long time ago."
