Chapter 210: Final countdown
"How are you, boy?" Fugaku asked. Even though his tone was casual, one could still feel hidden care behind it.
"I'm holding up fine. I just wanted to know if this whole closing Root base thing is complete or if it will take some more time," Shisui said.
"You know that many people are waiting for this answer, right? He has killed more than 50 talented Uchiha Ninjas in the shadows. Their families want to know when they can get hold of that 'thing,'" Fugaku said.
"You don't have to worry about that. When I get my hands on him, just call all those families. I am sure they will be satisfied with what is going to happen to him," Shisui said.
Fugaku could feel a shiver down his spine. The way Shisui simply said that was not good. The boy in front of him was a symbol of innocence. Even on missions where he had to kill someone, he always made sure they died the most painless death possible.
And that boy was saying that he is going to torture someone, and that too this casually. But then Fugaku remembered how close Shisui was to his father and knowing how his father died and that he was not even told his father's last words. The anger was valid. Fugaku just sighed and said,
"All of the Root bases are mostly closed, and they have already got everything they could from Danzo. I had already asked Hokage-sama to hand over Danzo, and he said that he would give him to us by tomorrow morning. He will be held in the basement.
I will talk to the others about how Danzo will get what he deserves. So do whatever you want, but you have only a single day. If you want, you can kill him. We already got everything we wanted from him, though Inoichi.
Even though we didn't get all of his memories, Hokage didn't hide anything related to the Uchiha from us," Fugaku said.
"Danzo was responsible for the death of Sakumo Hatake too," Shisui said.
"I know. As I said, I got some of his memories," Fugaku said, but he knew what Shisui was trying to say.
"Tomorrow, Kakashi will join me and Kaida," Shisui said like he was telling Fugaku.
Fugaku's eyebrows went up.
"I understand Kakashi, but are you sure you want to bring Kaida with you? He is still a child," Fugaku said.
Shisui, for the first time, smiled a little and then took out a small book.
"He was the one who gave me this book for tomorrow," Shisui said while passing the book to Fugaku.
Fugaku took the book and skimmed through it, but he stopped at some parts. Some of the torture methods were new even for him.
'I may have underestimated that boy a little,' Fugaku thought, but he understood why Shisui wanted to bring Kaida with him. To perform these tasks, they would need the help of a medical ninja, and others might get trauma for their life seeing someone in that state.
Fugaku now actually pitied Danzo for the first time, but was he going to stop Shisui? Of course not. Danzo deserved every bit of this.
"Do whatever you want. You can either kill him or let him live. But if you do that, I will just hand him over to someone else," Fugaku said.
"I'm not planning on doing that in the slightest," Shisui said. Fugaku nodded, and Shisui left the office.
He returned to his home, only to find his mom and Yomi peacefully sleeping and Kaida practicing in the garden. He had placed some tags to stop the sound of his practice from coming inside the house. But since he stopped his training and looked toward Shisui as soon as he made the slightest noise,
Kaida could hear everything even with the tags. They were a little advanced versions of isolation tags. Shisui looked toward the garden and decided to blow off some steam too.
He went to Kaida and took out his katana.
"Let's spar," Shisui simply said.
Kaida just nodded with a smile and took out his sword, while also activating his Sharingan. Shisui also did the same, but he didn't activate his Mangekyo Sharingan, only his three-tomoe Sharingan. And they started attacking each other.
Both of them were quite fast, but Shisui was both older, meaning having more experience as well as a more powerful body. He was five years older than Kaida, and that was shown in the spar. But Shisui was sure that this strength difference would not be maintained for long. Kaida was already pretty close to his strength level.
Within a year or two, they both might have the same strength. This was just how much of a cheat Senju blood was. It has to be noted that Shisui himself was a prodigy, a genius of the Uchiha clan. If Kaida could reach his level by being so much younger than him, one could imagine the benefits.
After crossing their swords many times, Kaida stopped between the clash and asked,
"So what did the clan head say?"
"Tomorrow."
"What about Kakashi?"
"He doesn't have a problem. He said I have complete custody of Danzo for tomorrow. I can even kill him if I want… but he will have to pay for his crimes before that," Shisui said while doing a downward slash with his sword.
"He sure will," Kaida said while stopping the slash with his sword.
(Next day)
Kaida went to the Hatake compound to call Kakashi.
"Danzo is waiting for us. How long are you going to sleep?" Kaida said without knocking on the door.
Before he could say anything else, the door opened, and Kakashi was standing there fully ready.
"Where is he?"
"Not here, so control your bloodlust, buddy. Let's go," Kaida said and gestured for Kakashi to follow him.
Kakashi quietly followed behind Kaida. They both used the Body Flicker Jutsu to arrive at the Uchiha headquarters. Shisui was already standing there.
"Danzo was sent here in the middle of the night. He is currently in the basement," Shisui said.
Kaida nodded his head. They both started walking toward the building while Kaida just sighed. Even though both of them were trying their best to hide it, a little amount of killing intent was still leaking from their bodies.
