As Shisui spoke, the atmosphere on the scene turned deathly silent.
The Uchiha are proud, but they are absolutely not stupid!
Now that they truly understood the strength of the enemy compared to their own, they knew the Uchiha were far from being a match for the enemy. It seemed that just protecting the clan tonight would be a victory.
For a moment, everyone was silent!
No one knew what to say. It seemed that apart from the Radical Faction's support, the neutrals and the fence-sitters remained silent.
Seeing this, Shisui felt incredibly frustrated!
At this moment, he truly realized how formidable Uchiha Jin from his own world was.
He clearly held the script, had experienced so much over the past few years, and had even been given short-term training by Uchiha Jin before coming here.
But what about now?
Forget about helping the clan in this world survive the Night of the Massacre; not a single person had listened to him until now.
Even though he had said so much, the Radical Faction still wanted to fight, the Moderate Faction was still hesitating and considering, and the fence-sitters remained indifferent.
He had clearly stated that the Night of the Massacre was damn well happening tonight!
Would these idiots just move already?
Shisui looked up at the sky in speechlessness. Could he really save the Uchiha Clan by teaming up with a bunch of people like this?
He now realized completely that he was far inferior to Uchiha Jin!
That person could quickly determine the movements of the Konoha Higher-ups around the Nine-Tails Attack Night and use his own methods to completely suppress the entire Uchiha.
This ability was simply terrifying!
Thinking of this, after pondering for a long time, he took another step back.
"Everyone, there is no time left!"
"The Night of the Massacre is tonight; there is no time for you to consider."
"You don't believe me? It doesn't matter, it's not important!"
"I only have two requests now: first, gather the elderly, the weak, women, and children, as well as the civilians, and send them into the shrine's basement to protect them first, can you do that?"
"If the Night of the Massacre tonight is fake, then no one will lose anything, right?"
"If it is real, then it could save their lives!"
"The second point..."
"The Uchiha of the Police Force must all secretly return to the clan grounds, and the Police Force will be replaced by Shadow Clones first."
"I will say this one last time!"
"Even if I judged this wrong, everyone present, regardless of faction, will not pay any price for it."
"If I judged it correctly, then I can save your lives."
"Wake up, clansmen!"
"Stop playing those damn power games; none of you have the ability for it, and I never thought about seizing your power."
"To be blunt, if you weren't Uchiha, I really wouldn't care if you died!"
"With this pair of Mangekyo, even if I became a Rogue Ninja, I could still live very well outside!"
After saying this.
Shisui felt a bit parched and sat down without saying another word.
At this moment, he looked dejected.
He had even secretly made up his mind that if he still couldn't convince this group of idiots, he would completely abandon this mission.
If they wanted to die, then let them die!
Although this didn't seem like Shisui's personality, it was because he knew clearly in his heart that this was not the world he belonged to.
In his own world, his clansmen were all living well!
The Uchiha before him were just a group of familiar strangers.
If he could save them, he would try his best.
If these guys were still so stubborn, then even if he were punished upon returning, he couldn't be bothered to continue talking nonsense with these idiots here.
On the other side.
As Shisui's words fell, the eyes of everyone present began to change.
Obviously.
They also sensed the change in Shisui's emotions; it was a look of complete disillusionment with them, a look that showed he couldn't even be bothered to care about their lives or deaths.
This made them feel angry at first, but finally, it turned into deep helplessness!
The anger was because...
Shisui actually looked down on them!
But considering his Mangekyo, and thinking that if Itachi really became an enemy—and he indeed possessed a Mangekyo—who else but Shisui could hold off Itachi?
Therefore.
Uchiha Amano spoke first: "I support Shisui. If you all refuse, I will lead the Moderate Faction to act on our own."
"All the elderly, weak, women, and children of the Moderate Faction will move into the basement immediately after the meeting ends, and they will all be replaced by Ninja Shadow Clones."
"As for the Ninjas of the Moderate Faction, two squads will remain to guard the elderly, weak, women, and children at the shrine, and everyone else will be under Shisui's command to fight the enemies of the Night of the Massacre tonight!"
"Furthermore, I promise."
"If the Night of the Massacre really descends tonight, then all Ninja members of the Moderate Faction will unconditionally obey Shisui's orders from this day forward!"
Hiss!
Following Uchiha Amano's words, everyone present gasped.
Yashiro, also of the Moderate Faction, wanted to speak but hesitated for a moment, and finally let out a sigh.
He wanted to say that Shisui was still young, not qualified to take over the Moderate Faction, and his attitude was also problematic.
Even the matter of his resurrection made him somewhat distrustful of Shisui!
But...
Thinking that if the Night of the Massacre really happened tonight, it would prove that the Konoha Higher-ups had made up their minds, would he have any reason to oppose it then?
If Shisui was fake, why would he help the Uchiha?
Of course.
If the Night of the Massacre did not happen tonight, then Uchiha Amano's promise would not count, and in that situation, his opposition would be meaningless.
Uchiha Siming also spoke upon hearing this: "I am also willing to cooperate on my end. If the Night of the Massacre really happens, it proves that the Konoha Higher-ups can no longer be trusted."
"At that time, I am also willing to hand over the command of my faction to Shisui!"
Uchiha Sifang also expressed agreement.
Finally.
Although Uchiha Setsuna wanted to charge directly into the Hokage Building, he knew that relying solely on the Radical Faction was not enough, so he had no choice but to begrudgingly agree.
Of course.
He did not promise to hand over command!
Because he couldn't trust the Moderate Faction's Shisui in terms of operational style.
Finally.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Fugaku let out a sigh, pondered for a moment, and then spoke solemnly.
"Since everyone agrees, let's go execute it immediately."
"Also..."
"If Itachi truly chooses to betray us, I will voluntarily resign from the position of clan leader."
"Time waits for no one, let's all take action."
"Dismissed!"
After speaking.
Fugaku did not pay attention to the others and immediately left the place first.
The others looked at each other, none of them expressing an opinion!
Because if it were confirmed that Itachi was really a traitor, then even if Fugaku didn't speak up voluntarily, they would no longer recognize his status as clan leader.
Finally.
After everyone nodded to Shisui, they all left one after another to go back and prepare.
"Shisui..."
"I hope you are right!"
Uchiha Amano showed a bitter expression.
And, regarding this.
Shisui did not continue to say much more, but spoke directly: "There are many spies and scouts hidden by Konoha within the clan; the Uchiha's movements cannot be hidden from their eyes."
"I will go and take them out!"
After speaking.
Shisui left the place with a Body Flicker Technique, immediately drawing his short sword, and the killing intent in his eyes began to grow increasingly intense.
At this moment, he immediately began the slaughter!
