Chapter 120 Shisui

Hiruzen fell into deep thought, not knowing what to do. He couldn't just let them go but on the other hand, there was Arthur who contributed a staggering 70 percent of the Konoha tax. If he chose Uchiha over Arthur, that would certainly destroy Konoha's economy, so he sighed with a defeated look and decided to let them go.

" You are a dangerous man, Arthur. If it wasn't for my involvement, your company would have Konoha in its palm, but I restrained that even so you still hold so much power."

He never imagined this would happen to him but in the end, there was nothing he could do but close his eyes for this.

" You won't regret your decision."

Arthur said calmly, leaving behind the horrified Anbus who couldn't understand what was happening because Hokage just allowed the defection of Uchiha. Even if they wanted to say about this, the looks of the leaders weren't good, so they obediently shut their mouths.

" Shisui, go find out what he is planning and report back to me."

He ordered Shisui to spy on him out of caution since he didn't trust Arthur that much. The threat of Uchiha was beyond his scope and coupled with Arthur who had everything in his hand, they were already beyond the ninjas of the village.

" I understand."

Shisui said solemnly, lowering his head to observe Arthur who was leaving but to his horror, he saw Arthur was smiling at him with a calm look. He said something in his mouth which made him sweat.

" Don't be rude, boy."

That was his words and he was warning Shisui in his manner. No matter how hard he tried to fool Arthur it was futile because he was a man who witnessed many things. Shisui was just a kid whose chest hair was still short him like others. He couldn't deceive Arthur whose ability was to see everything through.

Somewhere around Konoha

" Damn it!"

Danzo hit his table with anger as he took a deep breath to calm down. He couldn't help to look at the note and plan that he prepared for years which had been scrapped due to a certain figure whom he always abhorred.

" Lord, should we stop the plan?"

Fu bowed down with a calm face, knowing Danzo wouldn't stop here despite his disadvantage. He was an ambitious man who utilized his arsenal with everything that he got. However, this time his opponent wasn't a simple man who would be crushed by Root or him.

" We will hasten our plan, but firstly locate Shisui and get his eyes."

Danzo didn't hide his desire to obtain Shisui's eyes while thinking it was a good tool against Arthur whose power exceeded him. The Jutsu of Shisui could change Arthur who opposed him and potentially make him his subordinate which meant he would control not only Konoha, he would control other countries and villages as well.

" Understood. We will immediately depart now."

Fu gestured for the ninjas to move as he disappeared into the shadow. Danzo got up from his seat, revealing a sinister face under the light of the candle.

" Come out, brat."

Arthur sat on the ground with a calm face as others followed his suit. They didn't say anything except look at the figure who was emerging from the woods with an awkward face.

" Did you deliberately lead me here to talk?"

Shisui asked with curiosity, believing this man wouldn't kill him unless he wanted to kill him.

" You need to polish your stealth skill, kid. Sit here."

Arthur pointed at the tree bark near him with a calm face while taking out a little bag from his pocket. The bag had a metallic color with blue lines around it to indicate it had something to do with space-type energy that he collected from Infinity Gem.

" Now talk. Do you want to save your clan or do you want to destroy them?"

Arthur took out a bag of cookies from his bag chewing it calmly albeit Shisui couldn't speak due to shock.

" Oh, it is delicious. Can I have some?"

Pheonix grabbed a cookie from the bag as others also watched him with amusement. They understood this young man was hesitant about his clan and the village, so it was a good show to watch.
