Chapter 193: Pain of Truth (part 2)

There was no way someone would be able to kill Shisui if he decided to run away, but that didn't mean Hae wasn't worried. To calm Shisui down, she had tried to keep a tough appearance. But when she saw that he was fine, all of the tough act she was putting on crumbled like a sandcastle, and a wave of emotion hit her.

 

Shisui gently patted her shoulder. "It's all right, Mom. Don't cry," he said, but he was also crying with her.

 

Kaida was just standing there, doing nothing. There was no way he could say anything that would calm them down, and honestly, he wanted them to cry to let the emotions flow. If they suppressed these emotions, it would be much more painful.

 

'That bastard,' Kaida thought. 'Until now, I was thinking he was just a moron who did those awful things because he thought it was important for the village. But that bastard actually did all that because he was jealous of his own teammates. And if things had gone as they did in the anime, that bastard would have killed the son of his best friend without even thinking about his friend's last words. Why? Because he wanted his eyes.' Seeing his family crying increased the anger inside him.

 

After some time, they both calmed down.

 

"Let's go to our house," Shisui said. Since there was no way Danzo or Root in general could even try to do anything now, there was no reason for them to keep living in Fugaku's house.

 

"I'll send Yomi with someone," Fugaku said.

 

Shisui nodded his head, and all of them went on their way.

 

After reaching their home, Shisui used genjutsu on his mother and put her to sleep. Because of crying so much and the strain of those hard emotions, she was exhausted. Shisui could handle it a little better because of being an elite jonin and seeing worse things in his career. But Hae was just a civilian and was devastated thinking about the betrayal her husband would have felt in his last moments. That's why Shisui put her to sleep so that she could get some rest. After that, he and Kaida went to the hall. Kaida had already made a shadow clone which brought herbal tea to the hall.

 

"Here," Kaida said, giving Shisui a diary.

 

"What's this?" Shisui asked, taking and reading the book.

 

"This book contains hundreds of ways to torture someone, and this is a solution which increases a person's pain tolerance capabilities so that they can't die from extreme pain," Kaida said while taking out a potion from his pocket.

 

"Don't be a nice guy and use three or four of those methods when you get your chance on that bastard. Don't even think about giving a swift death to that bastard. All that talk about forgiveness is just bullshit," Kaida said.

 

"I wasn't planning on going easy on him either," Shisui replied.

 

"Brother, can I join you on your mission?" Kaida asked. He was genuinely worried about Shisui's safety; with his current emotional state, it would be difficult to make rational decisions.

 

Shisui just turned to Kaida and said, "Are you worried about me? Don't be. There's literally no one who would be able to catch me if I decide to run away, and I'm still sane enough to know the fights I can't win." He ruffled Kaida's hair.

 

Just then, he sensed someone coming near the gate.

 

"Take care of Mom and Yomi till I come back," Shisui said.

 

"Don't worry," Kaida replied. But he noticed how Shisui took both the book and the potion, knowing Danzo was going to face something worse than hell.

 

Shisui went to the gate and opened it, only to find an ANBU ninja standing there.

 

"Sir, the team is ready and will leave as soon as you are. We have the location," the ANBU ninja said. Clearly, he was part of the team.

 

"I'm ready. Let's go," Shisui said, and both of them disappeared from the house.

 

Kaida thought to himself, 'Even though the plan was successful, it still feels awful. That bastard actually killed his comrade, his friend, and still thinks he's the most suitable candidate for becoming Hokage? The only good thing is that we don't have to worry about Danzo and ultimately the Uchiha massacre anymore. Even though this will change the story completely, I will now have the dream team: Shisui Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy are sure shots. Then Fugaku Uchiha, Jiraiya, Tsunade, maybe Hiruzen too. Let alone Akatsuki, even people like Tobi and Madara without Rinnegan will struggle against this team in the future. Obviously, currently, they're not strong enough to compete against Akatsuki, let alone Madara Uchiha.'

 

When Kaida was thinking about the changes he had caused in the future, a knock on the door happened.

 

"What happened?" Yomi asked, entering the house as the Uchiha jonin who escorted her took his leave. Since both Kaida and Hae were abruptly called by Fugaku, she was worried if something bad had happened.

 

"First, take a seat," Kaida said, pointing toward the sofa. Then he proceeded to tell the story.

 

"How can such a person be an elder of Konoha, betraying his friend, killing children, experimenting on allies?" Yomi said.

 

"I don't know, but for now, please be with Aunt Hae. Brother put her to sleep for now, but when she wakes up, she'll need someone to support her," Kaida said.

 

"Don't worry, I'll be with her," Yomi said and went to Hae's room while Kaida went to the kitchen. He took out some herbs and pork bones and started making a herbal soup for everyone to calm their minds.

 

Meanwhile, Shisui was present in a room with 8 other ninjas.

 

"All eight of you have a single job: save as many innocent people as you can, then run away from the base. I will handle the rest, and I will not take any objections," Shisui said.

 

"Yes, sir." Since 7 of them were ANBU ninja, they knew how to follow orders, and the last person, an elite Jonin from the Hyuga clan's branch family, was not that arrogant and also agreed to the orders.
