Chapter 130
However, they also didn't fully trust Shisui.
After all, Uchiha Shisui was also an Uchiha.
"Shisui, Itachi... I'll leave it to you two..."
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi revealed a relieved smile, greatly anticipating that these two young men could resolve the Uchiha dispute.
If it could be resolved peacefully, that would truly be wonderful.
After all, the Uchiha Clan were comrades from the past; violence couldn't be rashly used against them... After the meeting ended.
Danzo called out to Itachi.
"Hiruzen's meaning just now... is that in an emergency, he will protect Konoha with his life. Don't doubt it, he's that kind of man..."
Danzo sneered.
Hiruzen Sarutobi also had a bottom line.
That bottom line was that the Uchiha couldn't endanger Konoha.
Which meant... they couldn't go to war with Konoha.
Because if a fight broke out, then Hiruzen Sarutobi, as Hokage, would have no choice but... and would inevitably fulfill his duties as Hokage.
This was a fundamental fact.
Itachi's heart pounded faster when he heard Danzo's analysis.
Because, just as Danzo said.
If it really came to a fight, Hokage-sama would certainly not stand idly by.
Although Hokage-sama was very benevolent, he also had an unchangeable bottom line.
"But, Shisui's side..."
"Are you talking about using 'Kotoamatsukami' to change Uchiha Fugaku's mind?"
Danzo snorted with laughter.
"Naive."
He instantly pulled a long face.
"The entire Uchiha harbor immense hostility towards the Village. Do you think merely changing your father's mind can stop those fanatical clan members...?"
"!"
Itachi recalled the scenes from every secret Uchihameeting he attended.
The fanaticism of the clan members flashed in his mind.
Without a doubt.
The coup wasn't just his father's idea.
It was the idea of the entire Uchiha!
"You understand now, don't you...?"
Danzo narrowed his eyes, revealing a sinister and terrifying expression.
"If your father suddenly changes his mind, what do you think... your clan members will think?"
They would definitely think that Uchiha Fugakuhad a problem.
Regardless of whether they realized Uchiha Fugaku was under genjutsu.
The fanatical Uchiha Clan members would definitely impeach Uchiha Fugaku.
Then replace him with a new leader.
From the development of events, it would definitely happen this way.
Because this was... the so-called tide of events!
Gulp.
Itachi swallowed.
"Then, Danzo-sama, what do you think I should do?"
Watching the hooked Itachi, Danzo's smile became slightly gentler.
Though to Itachi, it seemed even uglier and more terrifying.
"Conflict is inevitable, and the only one who can resolve that dispute is you, Itachi..."
Danzo leaned closer to Itachi, extended his hand, and patted his shoulder.
"Once a civil war breaks out in the Village, other countries will invade amidst the chaos. That future... none of us want to see..."
Danzo used emotional words to entice Itachi.
"So, the only way, with no other options... is to..."
Annihilate the entire Uchiha Clan.
Itachi: "!!!"
"Of course, your sister... can still be spared. If necessary, your lover can be too..."
Danzo suddenly changed his tone, offering Itachi a carrot.
"Kill these fanatical Uchiha, and you and that girl named Uchiha Izumi can form a new Uchiha Clan..."
"Danzo!"
Just then, a low shout joined the conversation.
It was Uchiha Shisui.
Danzo frowned, looking at the young man.
"What are you saying to Itachi?"
Uchiha Shisui's tone was unfriendly, showing no respect for Danzo.
"Itachi... let's go, you don't need to listen to him."
Shisui motioned for Itachi to distance himself from Danzo.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking..."
Shisui smirked, pulling Itachi back.
"Your scheme... will not succeed!"
After speaking, he strode away, acting very arrogant.
And this arrogant demeanor made Danzo's cheek twitch.
A ruthless expression appeared, then returned to calm.
Uchiha Shisui... the path to his death is drawing near... Chapter 74. Naruto: Uchiha Shisui Must Die!
"Go notify Uzumaki Naruto immediately! Tell him to act at once!"
Danzo roared in a furious tone to his subordinate in the shadows.
Uchiha Shisui must die.
Because Kotoamatsukami was too dangerous.
His very existence was too much of an eyesore.
Of course... more importantly, the Uchiha Clan's coup plan absolutely could not be stopped by Uchiha Shisui.
A plan almost half a century in the making.
After finally oppressing the Uchiha Clan and forcing them to revolt, if they were to back down now, there would be no other chance.
Uchiha Shisui must die.
The Uchiha Clan must also perish!
...At Naruto's house.
Early in the morning, Sako came over to visit.
"Yo, Uzumaki Naruto, good morning..."
Sako, whose expression was becoming increasingly cheerful, gave off a feeling of optimism and positivity.
Every morning during the half-awake, half-asleep dream state, she would receive knowledge from an unknown place.
Through months of accumulation, that knowledge finally transformed into power.
Her body also grew significantly at the same time.
Not only Naruto grew taller, but Sako did too.
Unlike Hinata, who noticed Naruto getting taller.
Sako, who grew almost synchronously with Naruto, didn't fully perceive Naruto's change.
She still interacted with Naruto as she always had.
And... she brought today's portion of food.
"Here... something for you to eat. My mommy made it this morning..."
Sako handed the bag to Naruto, skillfully walked into the house, and began to look around the environment.
"It's very clean and tidy..."
Recently, Naruto's house had become increasingly bright.
Sako thought this was a good thing.
Then she heard the sound of cleaning and saw the Hyuga maid emerge from the kitchen.
"Hello..."
Sako immediately greeted her.
Having seen her clean Naruto's room many times, Sako had confirmed that Naruto indeed had some connection with the Hyuga Clan.
However.
Because of the significant age difference between Hyuga Natsu and Naruto.
Sako didn't think of any romantic stories.
She only assumed that this maid named Hyuga Natsu was just there to help out.
After all... what does a boy like Naruto know about cleaning?
Sitting down in the living room.
Sako happily watched Naruto eat and praised her mother's cooking.
"How is it? My mommy's cooking is great, isn't it?"
"Mmm, mmm..."
Naruto's cheeks were stuffed full as he ate, looking like he was thoroughly enjoying his meal.
Watching the interaction between the two children.
Especially Naruto's innocent and simple-minded appearance.
Hyuga Natsu, standing nearby, understood.
