The sun gradually rises.
The sun dispels the darkness little by little.
Today's Konoha Village is still basking in peace.
At this time, by the lake near the Uchiha clan.
The darkness surrounding a figure is dispelled, revealing his true face.
It's Danzo.
At this moment, Danzo no longer had the gloomy and dark aura of the past; he appeared extremely disheveled.
He hadn't washed for several days, and his body stank.
His hair was messy like a bird's nest!
The scariest thing was his eyes.
They were covered with bloodshot veins, and his face was stained with tears, which were still flowing!
These days.
Danzo never closed his eyes.
Even though it was painful as if he was about to die, he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
But, after all, people have limits.
Not everyone is an ultimate creature like Naruto.
Although, relying on inhuman perseverance, Danzo persisted for several days.
But in the end.
Danzo still couldn't take it anymore.
The moment his eyelids dropped uncontrollably.
Danzo just felt dizzy!
The world was collapsing!
Because everything he insisted on had been destroyed!
"Damn it!!!"
Danzo hammered the ground heavily with both hands.
Even if he knocked on a stone, causing the back of his hand to bleed, he didn't care at all.
There was only endless unwillingness in his eyes!
Obviously, he persisted for so long.
In the end, it fell short!
All his efforts during this period had been in vain!
"Why!"
"Why haven't you opened your eyes yet!"
"What the hell is going wrong?"
"Am I not religious enough?!"
"Is my posture wrong?"
"Or, am I just a little bit short?"
Danzo's hand was pounding on the ground frantically.
Already bloody.
But he didn't care.
Because, at this time, the pain in his heart far exceeded the pain in his body.
He could no longer feel the pain in his hands!
Why?!
Why?!
Is it because I'm not talented enough?
Am I even inferior to that Naruto?
Staring at the lake without sleep for days and nights!
Pious kneeling, eyes never moved an inch!
But exactly why!
Why haven't you opened your eyes yet!!!
Danzo's heart was filled with resentment.
He wasted so much time, wasted so much effort.
In the end, the bamboo basket fetched water in vain.
Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will break their defenses.
Even with a dark mind like Danzo.
This ending is also unacceptable.
"Hehehe, hehehaha, hahahahaha!"
Danzo let out a piercing laugh.
He covered his cheeks with bloody hands.
Through the red fingers, one could see his increasingly crazed eyes.
He kept laughing until he was short of breath and started coughing constantly.
Finally.
He stopped.
After taking a deep breath, Danzo's sanity seemed to come back.
He looked fiercely in the direction of the Uchiha clan.
The resentment contained in his eyes was as frightening as the essence!
"Since there has been no progress."
"Then I won't practice the Sharingan anymore."
"Isn't it just the Sharingan?"
"Just grab it!"
"What a simple thing, why should I make it so complicated!"
"Hahaha..."
Danzo belongs to the category of giving up on himself.
Originally, he thought that the Sharingan awakened by himself could be switched on and off like Naruto's.
You don't have to keep running to consume Chakra like Kakashi.
But now?
Don't care!
Let's not talk about whether a Sharingan awakened by oneself is so easy to use.
The premise is to have it!
It doesn't matter if it costs a little more Chakra!
At worst, just a few more injections of First Hokage's cells will do!
In front of the deserted shrine.
The twilight glow illuminates the area.
Danzo stood silently in front of the statue, his face pale.
His hands have been bandaged and treated, and have almost recovered.
After two days of rest, his mental and physical strength also returned.
Sitting here, Danzo is waiting.
A tasty prey arrives.
Not long.
The prey has arrived.
"Lord Danzo, I don't know what you want from me?"
The visitor opened a pair of Sharingan with three tomoe.
It's Uchiha Shisui.
"It's almost time for the village assembly."
He just got an assignment from the Third Hokage.
He will act as a bridge between the Uchiha and the village.
Use his pupil technique, Kotoamatsukami, to change Fugaku's mind.
Let the rebellion disappear invisibly.
This time was originally a very critical time.
Danzo skipped the Third Hokage and called him, although he was puzzled, he still came.
Danzo turned and looked at him silently.
"If you cast your pupil technique on Fugaku and convince the Uchiha, yet nothing changes in the village, what would you do?"
Shisui said without hesitation.
"The Hokage promised me that the day will change."
"I trust Lord Hokage."
Danzo lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"Even with the lobbying of the Third Hokage, the villagers' suspicion of you will not disappear easily."
Shisui said.
"I know, but just give it time..."
Danzo cut him off.
"Also, a skeptical person like me doesn't change his mind easily."
"What will you do then?"
Shisui felt something was wrong.
"But, Lord Danzo..."
Danzo interrupted Shisui again.
"When that time comes, will you use your Kotoamatsukami on me too?"
Shisui's eyes widened.
He finally understood that Danzo was not kind.
Danzo raised his head slowly, revealing his bloodshot eyes.
"Although I once thought about cultivating the Sharingan myself, and then leading your Uchiha clan."
"But the plan appears to have failed."
"Since I can't practice the Sharingan, I'll have to take yours."
"Your Sharingan, I accept it!"
Finished.
Danzo went up with a Body Flicker Technique, made a surprise attack, and pointed his left hand directly at Shisui's eyes!
But Shisui was prepared!
He held Danzo's hand with one hand and cast an illusion on Danzo in an instant!
Danzo didn't take any precautions and immediately fell into the illusion, falling into a deep sleep.
"It's just an ordinary illusion, and he should wake up soon."
Shisui breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't expect that Danzo wanted to steal his eyes.
But it's okay.
He didn't let Danzo get away with it.
He also has the opportunity to repair the relationship between the Uchiha and the village.
Shisui turned to leave.
But he didn't see it; the moment he left.
Danzo's figure actually disappeared!
The next moment.
Danzo actually appeared in front of Shisui.
At this distance, the unsuspecting Shisui was attacked by surprise, and there was no time to react.
A few quick heavy blows made him completely lose his ability to resist.
Subsequently.
Danzo pulled out suddenly and directly took off Shisui's right eye.
The eyes were removed, and severe pain instantly swept through his whole body!
"Ah!!!"
Shisui screamed and retreated quickly.
Danzo did not pursue but took off the bandage on his right eye.
There, a Sharingan lost its light and turned pale.
Apparently, this is exactly the Forbidden Technique, Izanagi!
Seeing all this, Shisui just felt incredible.
"Sharingan..."
He didn't understand why Danzo had a Sharingan!
Also, what exactly did he say just now!
Practice?
Sharingan can also be obtained through cultivation?
Shisui didn't want to understand all this.
There was no time for him to figure it out.
He only knew one thing.
That is to never let Danzo take away the other eye!
At this time.
Several Root members appeared and landed beside Danzo.
Seeing this.
Shisui quickly formed seals.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
The huge ball of fire pushed forward.
But the ninja at the Root also reacted instantly.
"Water Barrier!"
The Water Style used jointly by several people blocked Shisui's attack.
But the contact of water and fire caused a lot of steam to appear.
When the steam dissipated, Shisui's figure had already disappeared!
"Body Flicker Technique?"
A Root member looked up.
Danzo immediately frowned and said.
"Chase!"
The Root ninja instantly disappeared in place.
Night gradually fell.
At this time, in a dense forest near the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Itachi leaned against a boulder and waited.
He had been waiting all afternoon.
But he didn't complain.
Because the person he was waiting for was his best friend.
At this time.
Several fallen leaves fell from the sky.
Itachi looked up.
"Is it Shisui?"
However, only the leaves continued to fall.
Shisui's figure did not appear.
"Itachi...you, you come with me."
Itachi felt something was wrong.
But still followed Shisui's figure.
Soon, they came to a cliff.
This was the secret place they used to come to play when they were children.
It is also the secret place of the two.
Up to now.
Only when discussing something important.
They will meet here.
Shisui stood on the edge of the cliff.
With his back to Itachi.
He said slowly.
"The Uchiha's coup cannot be stopped."
"Once Konoha starts a civil war, other countries will definitely take advantage of it."
"War is inevitable."
Itachi frowned.
Of course, he knew this too.
Shisui continued.
"I wanted to use Kotoamatsukami to stop the coup."
"But my right eye was taken by Danzo."
Shisui turned around, allowing Itachi to see his still bleeding right eye.
"He didn't believe me."
"He insisted on protecting the village in his own way."
"I'm afraid he won't let go of my left eye."
"Before that, I entrust this eye to you."
Saying that, Shisui reached out and took off his other eye without hesitation.
Itachi stared at Shisui firmly.
If you want to stop it, you know it's impossible.
"Shisui, you..."
At this moment, Uchiha Itachi's heart ached unbearably.
Various emotions of anger, doubt, and grief filled his mind.
But Shisui could still laugh when he took off his own eyes.
It can be seen that he seems to have let go of everything.
He closed his eyes, clasped his left hand tightly, and said with a smile.
"I can only ask you, my best friend."
"Protect this village."
"And the name of Uchiha, too."
Shisui held out his left hand.
In the palm of his hand was his left eye.
There was a long silence.
Itachi closed his eyes.
A crow flying in the distance.
The crow landed on Shisui's hand and then disappeared into countless feathers.
At the same time, Shisui's eye disappeared.
Itachi opened his eyes with an extremely solemn expression.
"Your eyes, I did accept them. What are you going to do next?"
Although the heart is very painful.
But in the face of his best friend's determination, he cannot easily let him down.
This is the friendship between them.
Shisui smiled, then said with a serious face.
"I've been targeted. If I don't leave, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the whole family."
"Before I die, I have two very important things to tell you."
Itachi frowned tightly.
He knew.
At this time, as Shisui said, these things were very important.
He had to take every word Shisui said to heart.
"First things first, my Kotoamatsukami is probably not working."
Hearing this, Itachi's eyes widened in shock!
Shisui's Kotoamatsukami.
That is the Mangekyō pupil technique known as the strongest illusion technique.
Will it fail?
It was unimaginable to Itachi.
But if Kotoamatsukami fails, isn't Shisui's plan impossible to proceed?
Then why are you giving your eyes to me?!
