Chapter 158: Blinding Danzo's Eyes Within the Clan
"Don't worry, mom. We are not planning to keep tolerating Danzo too. That's why I'm taking you guys to the clan head's house, as you may be in danger since we are going to use this incident to reduce Danzo's powers and influence to zero," Shisui said.
"Are you going to personally make a move against him?" Hae asked, easily guessing the reason why she had to take refuge.
"Yes, mom, but don't worry. I will not fight anyone," Shisui said with a smile.
Hae sighed after hearing that, though her stress level didn't come down much, as she knew about Danzo's scheming powers better than anyone in the Uchiha clan. Her own husband's demise was because of that. But being an elite Jonin of a clan came with many responsibilities, which Shisui had to follow.
"Just be safe always. Also, bring Kaida back before you do anything. I don't want that reckless fellow to put his life at stake when he is so young himself," Hae said.
"Yes," Yomi supported her completely.
"I was going to do that anyway. Don't worry, mom. He will be with me by the end of tomorrow's evening," Shisui said.
"You are really going to let him do those missions for one whole day, even though his life is in danger?" Hae asked.
"Mom, practically, he is more safe out there than coming back to Konoha. He is under the protection of Minoru-sama. Even I would have to think thrice before attacking someone under his protection. Also, Konoha is the base of the person who sent ninjas after him, so he is safer out there than in the village. But don't worry, I will bring him back before tomorrow evening," Shisui said.
Both Hae and Yomi became visibly more relaxed after hearing that, even though they were worried about the clan. Family always came first. If all three of them were in the clan head's house, their safety would be more or less guaranteed. Also, since there were very few people in Konoha who could actually hold their ground against Shisui, they were not worried about him, at least not as much as Kaida, who is still just a child and is trying to fight against a whole organization all alone.
"Mom, please take all the stuff you guys will need there. We will leave in 30 minutes," Shisui said.
"Okay, but where are you going now?" Hae said, seeing Shisui leaving the house.
"Nowhere, I'm just going to see something funny," Shisui said with a smile and left the house.
"These boys," Hae said after shaking her head at her son's casual behavior just after having such a serious task. "Come, Yomi, let me help you with packing."
They both went inside and started packing, while Shisui went to the roof of their house, after which he activated his Sharingan.
There is one thing that most people didn't know about the Sharingan and Byakugan. If we compare the basic one-tomoe Sharingan with the Byakugan, then the Byakugan will win 10 out of 10 times, but that is the case only in the initial phase of the Sharingan. As the Sharingan continues to evolve, the power difference continues to reduce.
When we compare the three-tomoe Sharingan with a Byakugan, it becomes almost equal. The three-tomoe Sharingan actually gives a similar range of vision, and an untrained Byakugan, even when range is not its best part, with an addition of extra powerful genjutsu and the ability to copy various jutsu, makes the Sharingan very overpowered, almost at the same level as the Byakugan.
(A.N: According to Kakashi, the Sharingan is inferior to the Byakugan, that's why I took so much time explaining this ^~^)
Now, if we compare a Mangekyo Sharingan with a Byakugan, then the story changes completely. The Mangekyo Sharingan has nearly the same level of vision range as the Byakugan, as well as the perception and reaction speed of the user, which is increased exponentially by the Sharingan. With increasing the power of already overpowered genjutsu to a new level and giving the user the power he really wished for, the Mangekyo Sharingan is way above the Byakugan, and Shisui possessed those eyes.
When he went to the roof, Shisui quickly activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and started looking around the Uchiha clan compound. At many places, a ninja would appear and suddenly make a person fall under a genjutsu, which would leave that person in a blank state for a minute before going back to doing what they were doing.
All of those ninjas were at least Jonin and possessed the three-tomoe Sharingan. This was a secret team of the clan head himself, consisting of 10 trained Jonin, who only took his orders, just like ANBU ninjas take only the Hokage's orders.
When Fugaku said to begin the plan "Illusion" at full force, all of those 10 Jonin went out to target all the known spies in the Uchiha compound. Even though there were some normal people on that list who were suspected of being spies, they were also targeted by those Jonin as well, since the only thing they were doing was making them fall under a genjutsu that everything was alright and nothing big was happening in the Uchiha compound. It didn't matter if the person was not a spy and a normal civilian; they wouldn't be harmed in reality, so everyone was a target of this attack.
This plan was used to give the Uchiha clan some precious days for planning their next move. From the day Fugaku came to know that many spies had infiltrated his clan, he began making a plan to counter those spies. Though he could easily take care of those spies, that would make the sender more alert, and they may then employ someone as a spy who is very hard to detect.
(A.N: Maybe someone like Fugaku's own son 😉)
That's why he let those spies roam in his compound while keeping an eye on them, though this had resulted in losing some valuable information of the clan and even costing the life of one of his Chunin one time when one of those spies somehow got the information of a secret mission that the Chunin had to complete. But these were some necessary sacrifices he made himself because he wanted his enemies to believe that they had successfully placed their spies in the Uchiha clan's compound.
Shisui was sitting on the roof of his house, enjoying the show, when he saw that an Uchiha ninja came near his house and used a genjutsu on a person who was a stall owner of a nearby stall. Seeing that, Shisui thought, 'At least he could have warned me about the spy near my house.'
