Chapter 183: Uchiha Are a Clan of Love

In order to prevent any accidents, Uchiha Kage did indeed send a shadow clone to follow Naruto and Sasuke.

Let's put that aside for now.

After Uchiha Kage changed his outfit and put on his mask, he discovered something strange.

That is—

Clearly, Orochimaru had already attacked Hiruzen and the others, yet up to now, inside the barrier of the Four Violet Flame Formation, no significant commotion had been heard.

It was as if the people inside were politely having a tea party, rather than engaging in a life-or-death battle.

"That's really strange."

While picking up ninja fragments that had fallen during the battle between Konoha and Sunagakure ninjas around the arena, Uchiha Kage glanced several times into the interior of the Four Violet Flame Formation using his Byakugan.

"Also, besides the first two Hokage, Orochimaru actually summoned two more helpers… One should be Kazekage Rasa, the other is… Shisui?"

This was truly an unexpected character appearance.

"Naturally evil Uchiha brat, I'll make you die again!"

Just as the somewhat curious Uchiha Kage approached the barrier, he heard a voice from inside the barrier coming from Tobirama.

Following that was the sound of a huge water torrent created by Water Style, and the sound of water vaporizing due to Fire Style.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

The ground also began to shake.

Uchiha Kage looked out, and after his gaze pierced through the barrier, he quickly discovered a verdant green Susanoo blocking the massive torrent of water.

"Second Hokage, the Uchiha Clan isn't full of maniacs. They also have many, many kind and ordinary people...", If Shisui at this moment were a living person, he would surely be crying tears of blood now.

But unfortunately, he was now only a cold corpse revived by Edo Tensei.

"..."

'What's going on?'

'Why is Shisui fighting Tobirama?'

'And Orochimaru and Hiruzen, who are supposed to be the main characters, are just standing by and watching?'

Uchiha Kage was a bit unable to understand the scene before him.

———

"What did you do?"

Watching Shisui slowly turn around step by step, and then face him.

Cold sweat began to appear on Orochimaru's pale face.

No matter how he formed hand signs, the opponent wasn't under his control at all.

"So that's it, no one has told you the ability of my Mangekyō Sharingan yet, Orochimaru," Shisui's sudden rebellion plunged everyone present into shock.

"Even I couldn't escape that forbidden technique, and this Uchiha actually..."

'The ability of the Mangekyō Sharingan?'

'What an evil eye.'

Tobirama looked at the Mangekyō Sharingan in Shisui's eyes, and Uchiha Madara's proud face flashed in his mind.

"A special ability of the Mangekyō? You..."

Only now did Orochimaru recall that no one, it seemed, had ever told him about Shisui's ability.

'That bastard Danzo...'

'Damn it, did he deliberately keep a hand hidden from me?'

"My dōjutsu can change a person's personality, so I used my dōjutsu to replace the personality that was under your control. Now, unless you undo Edo Tensei, you won't be able to stop me, Orochimaru."

Of course, such a powerful dōjutsu also had many limitations.

For example, every time it was used, it had a long cooldown period.

Just like now, one of his eyes could no longer activate the technique.

So only one Mangekyō remained.

"Forbidden techniques shouldn't be misused, Orochimaru. Looks like you ignored your teacher's advice again and are now suffering the consequences."

Seeing Shisui turning toward Orochimaru, Hiruzen let out a big sigh of relief.

If Shisui had gone down on their side, it would be three versus four.

The previously hopeless situation had now been reversed in an instant.

"Shut up! I'll undo it right now..."

Watching Shisui's rebellion and hearing Hiruzen's taunt, Orochimaru's pale face turned red with anger.

"Do you really want to undo Edo Tensei?", Shisui calmly interrupted.

"If I'm not mistaken, once this technique is undone, not just me, but also the First and Second Hokage, and the Fourth Kazekage whose personality you erased, will all disappear, right?"

"Then what do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru indeed hesitated.

If Edo Tensei was canceled, the situation would turn into a one-on-two.

Him alone against the Third Hokage and Uchiha Itachi…

He would definitely lose.

So, he really couldn't undo Edo Tensei.

"I said, let me talk with the previous Hokage for a while. Maybe after the conversation, I might help you kill the Hokage and destroy Konoha."

Shisui's sudden statement not only made Tobirama furious, but also flustered Hiruzen and Uchiha Itachi beside him.

"Shisui, you..."

'What's going on? Whose side is Shisui on now?'

"As expected, a naturally evil Uchiha..."

"Tobirama, I told you not to say such things. See, now it's caused trouble."

Hashirama glanced angrily at his younger brother, then tried to look as gently as possible at the Shisui in front of him.

"You can ask anything you want, as long as you don't harm the village… By the way, how did you die?"

Having awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan at such a young age, and apparently died early as well.

Hashirama was somewhat curious about Shisui's story.

"I was forced to death by the upper echelon of Konoha, Danzo, your disciple. He gouged out my eye."

Shisui briefly recounted the cause of his death.

"Tobirama, this is your doing again!"

"Big brother, it was Danzo, not me..."

'That brat Danzo did well. A Mangekyō Sharingan user does need to be eliminated.'

Tobirama inwardly affirmed Danzo's actions.

"He's your disciple, so it's no different than if you had done it."

"I…"

Facing his unreasonable big brother, Tobirama turned his head angrily, then glared at Hiruzen not far away.

According to Hashirama's logic, today's mess was all Hiruzen's fault.

"But I don't care about death, only the village and… the Uchiha clan."

Shisui looked again at the Second Hokage in front of him.

"I want to know, what is evil? What did the Uchiha clan do wrong to be called an evil clan by you?"

"A good child, even now still thinking of the village."

Hashirama highly praised this remark by Shisui.

"Hmph, already offering to help destroy Konoha, what's the point of asking that?"

"Tobirama!"

"I know, I'll speak now."

Though Tobirama wanted to break free, not only was his big brother restraining him, but also Orochimaru's control prevented him from moving.

"Kid, the Uchiha are actually a clan of love. The reason they are said to be evil is because they are too obsessed with love, to the point that after losing it, their personalities drastically change, becoming deranged… And the Sharingan is the external manifestation of the Uchiha's mental breakdown and fall into evil!"

"I have never undergone a personality change, even after awakening the Mangekyō."

Obviously, Shisui was not satisfied with this answer from the Second Hokage.

"Of course, there are a few exceptions, for example…"

Tobirama recalled Uchiha Kage, who was born with the Mangekyō Sharingan, and his always loyal disciple Uchiha Kagami.

"You look very much like one of my disciples, Uchiha Kagami. Are you his descendant? Maybe your lineage is just an exception."

Calming down and noticing Shisui's appearance.

Tobirama quickly played the emotional card.

"We're not exceptions. I've seen many gentle and kind clansmen who awakened the Sharingan and never had personality changes. Second Hokage, your research is the real exception."

Shisui closed his eyes and recalled for a long time.

A very long time.

Kind clansmen, peace-loving clansmen, they made up a large part of the Uchiha clan.

Yet Konoha raised the butcher's knife indiscriminately…

"Moreover, based solely on such exceptions, or rather, prejudice, to strike at the entire Uchiha clan, such a Konoha, such a Hokage..."

If at the moment of his cliff-jumping suicide, Shisui still held a sliver of hope.

Now, Shisui had fallen into pure despair.

He had hoped Uchiha Itachi would use his eye to stop the Uchiha radicals, hoped the Third Hokage would choose a path of peace.

But sadly, with the Third Hokage's tacit approval, and under the coercion of Danzo and other high-ups, the person he trusted most, Uchiha Itachi, took his eye and slaughtered the entire clan.

Now, he was "resurrected" from the dead, only to be called evil again by the Second Hokage, the one he once respected most.

And what's more, the entire clan was deemed evil.

The village he trusted, the Hokage he trusted, would annihilate an entire clan based solely on that reason…

In the end, who is truly evil?

"You… how dare you say it's just prejudice? I did a lot of experiments to reach that conclusion!"

'This Uchiha who doesn't believe in science.'

Whether it was rage or being hit where it hurt, Tobirama exploded with all his chakra.

"Tobirama…"

"Shut up, big brother! If it weren't for Uchiha Madara back then, you wouldn't have died at all!"

Saying he's prejudiced against Uchiha Itachi?

But have you ever heard, Uchiha killed his parents and siblings, and in the end, even the big brother he loved most died at Uchiha Madara's hands?

So what if he's prejudiced, he's not allowed to be?
