Chapter 64: Shisui's Awakening

"Ugh!"

Just after yelling, Itsuki noticed the Anbu member, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and he said in a cold voice, "A Root member?"

"No, I'm not!"

The Anbu's voice was odd, "I'm from the Anbu."

"You two cousins, still distinguishing yourselves?"

"We do, definitely. We're distant relatives, our relationship is far apart!"

If we weren't separate, we'd be sent away by you.

Do you think I don't know that Root and the Uchiha are almost at each other's throats?

At this moment, the Anbu displayed an extraordinary desire to survive.

No emotions?

Screw that.

Itsuki looked at him suspiciously, "Why does your voice sound strange?"

"... I just got winded!"

The Anbu's words carried a deep sense of helplessness.

At the moment of extreme tension, someone jumped out of a coffin, and he didn't go to see the Second Hokage, which was already quite good.

However, the breath he had just held was now nowhere to be found.

"What does an Anbu member want with me?"

Itsuki didn't attack directly.

This person had no killing intent.

The funeral parlor had indeed been rigged by Itsuki.

If someone entered with killing intent, heh, sorry, Itsuki would let them know why flowers were so red!

Besides, the two represented different things.

One represented Danzo.

One represented the Third Hokage.

"The Hokage-sama has something for you!"

"What is it?"

The Anbu was even more speechless.

What is it? Do I look like I know?

I'm just a regular Anbu messenger, not an Anbu captain.

"Tsk, useless!"

Itsuki didn't mind, waved his hand, and said, "I understand, I'll go later!"

"Yes!"

The Anbu responded, then fled the funeral parlor as if escaping.

He needed a quiet place to find where the breath he had just held had gone.

He had a feeling that if he didn't handle it well, he would be sent away by this breath.

Just as he left, Shisui entered.

"Yo, isn't this Shisui of the Body Flicker? What brings you to my humble abode?"

Itsuki teased.

"Cut it out! I have serious business!"

Shisui's expression was grave, "Itsuki, the Hokage-sama just summoned me."

"Oh! What for? To have you kill me?"

Shisui said displeasedly, "Don't talk nonsense. He gave me a pair of Sharingan, said they were obtained from Danzo."

"Oh!"

Itsuki extended his hand, "Let me see."

"Hmm!"

Shisui didn't mind and handed Itsuki a glass container with a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan inside.

Itsuki revealed his own three-tomoe Sharingan and exchanged a glance with the eyes in the container, immediately noticing their extraordinary nature.

Just like there were strengths and weaknesses among Jonin, three-tomoe Sharingan also had varying levels.

The pair of three-tomoe Sharingan in front of him belonged to the kind that was very close to Mangekyo Sharingan!

"Come with me!"

Itsuki led Shisui into the inner room of the funeral parlor and took out a scroll. When opened, it contained various instruments.

He had studied under Orochimaru, the number one scientist in the ninja world.

Itsuki also understood bottles and jars.

He believed the Third Hokage understood this as well.

The facts proved him right.

These were Kagami's eyes!

Uchiha Kagami!

The Third Hokage didn't try to fool him with a fake.

A cold smile appeared on Itsuki's lips.

Kagami's death was indeed related to Danzo.

Or rather, it was related to the Third Hokage.

Not bad, not bad, hatred points, super doubled!

Shisui keenly sensed Itsuki's killing intent and couldn't help but call out softly, "Itsuki! What's wrong? Whose eyes are these?"

Itsuki said indifferently, "Kagami's eyes."

Shisui was first taken aback, then exclaimed in surprise, "Kagami? Grandfather?!"

"Yes!" Itsuki said calmly, "These will become your eyes."

His gaze shifted to the side.

There was another glass container there, and the pair of Sharingan inside had already lost their luster.

Those were Itsuki's eyes!

His former four-tomoe Sharingan!

Itsuki had once thought about exploiting a loophole.

He would transplant Shisui's eyes, and Shisui would transplant his.

Wouldn't that result in two pairs of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?

But obviously, it failed. +

After the successful transplant, his original eyes had completely dimmed and could no longer be used.

Itsuki had even considered having them exchange one eye each.

Now it seemed, it was better not to mess with that.

He didn't want to end up with two cyclops.

Shisui had indeed activated Susanoo with a single eye, but there was a qualitative leap between ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

If neither of them could activate it, then it was all over!

Forget about any plans.

Just wait for the original plot to unfold!

But!

What about the Uchiha clan?

Would they be swept up in the plot and become expendable?

Who the hell knew.

Better play it safe!

"Me? Transplant Grandfather's eyes?"

Shisui froze.

Itsuki calmly said, "Grandfather is blood-related to us, his eyes are undoubtedly the most suitable for you. With these eyes, you might be able to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan again."

"That's not what I care about!"

Shisui suddenly roared in a low voice, "Why? Why were Grandfather's eyes with Danzo?"

Itsuki said nonchalantly, "Maybe he entrusted them to Danzo before he died. You know, they were as close as one person. Danzo happened to be missing an eye, and Grandfather generously said: I'll give it to you!"

"Do you think I'm a child?"

"You're too confident!" Itsuki didn't even look at Shisui, saying casually, "You're not even as good as a child."

Shisui: "..."

Silence.

The already quiet funeral parlor became even more silent.

Finally, it was Shisui who broke the silence.

"Itsuki, do you look down on me?"

Itsuki acted surprised, "How is that possible? You're my beloved onii-chan!"

Shisui sighed, "Could your words be any more fake?"

"I... I don't dare, that's a profound question, haha!"

Itsuki couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, stop overthinking. Finish the transplant, and then you can go wherever you want to have fun."

Shisui paused slightly, "Itsuki, I'll prove it to you."

Itsuki blinked, remaining silent.

What was going on?

Was Shisui stimulated?

Because of his grandfather Uchiha Kagami's eyes?

Was it necessary?

"Are you going to prove that you, at seven years old, can also view the village with the mindset of a Hokage?"

"Itsuki!!!"

"Alright, alright, hehe, Shisui!"

"What?"

"Sometimes, being a little naive isn't a bad thing."

"There are many things you don't need to delve into too deeply."

"Because you don't know what the endpoint is."

Itsuki had already taken Kotoamatsukami, Shisui wouldn't be deliberately targeted.

After transplanting Kagami's eyes, his strength wouldn't decrease much, at least he would still be Kage-level.

This strength was enough for him to protect himself against anyone.

This was also Itsuki's goal.

It was his greatest protection for his brother.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that in the original story, it was precisely because of Danzo's betrayal that Shisui felt despair and ultimately chose to end his own life.

"Hehe!"

Shisui smiled bitterly, "You're the younger brother, you know!"

"No choice!"

Itsuki also sighed, "Who asked my brother to be so useless, even losing his own eyes."

"... Thank you!"
