Chapter 276: Lord Danzo, what do you want to do?
"Danzo-sama invited me to discuss the future of the Uchiha?"

Uchiha Shisui was stunned at first, then showed a surprised expression.

After seeing Shisui's expression, the Root Ninja didn't say much. He left a warning of "You'd better hurry to the appointment" and disappeared into the forest.

After the Root ninjas left, Shisui opened Danzo's handwritten letter, which detailed the meeting place and time. Judging from the handwriting, it was confirmed to be Danzo Shimura without a doubt.

When Shisui finished reading the contents of the scroll, it suddenly caught fire and turned into a ball of ash.

After seeing this scene, Uchiha Shisui fell into deep thought.

He had just reported to the Third Hokage in the morning about a possible coup within the clan, and in the afternoon Danzo sent someone to invite him to meet. Wasn't Danzo too well-informed?

And what exactly did Danzo want to do by inviting him? Did he really want to discuss the future of Uchiha with him?

Judging from the relationship between Danzo and his grandfather Kagami, Danzo might really want to help Uchiha, but he vaguely felt that Danzo must have ulterior motives in making a private appointment to meet.

Otherwise, the meeting place between the two parties would not be set near the root base.

When Shisui was lost in thought, Bai Ye, who had just left, reappeared with an apple in his hand. After taking a bite, he said:
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Danzo definitely has no ill will towards you."

"He just wants to take away your Sharingan and send you to the Pure Land. What bad intentions could such a good person have?"

"..."

Bai Ye's sarcastic tone made Shisui fall into silence, but he also pointed out the reason why Danzo invited him to meet.

However, he should have only told the Third Hokage about Kotoamatsukami's information, so why did Danzo know it?
As if he had guessed what Shisui was thinking, Bai Ye said calmly:

"Shisui, you don't really think that the Third Hokage didn't collude with Danzo? The reason why Danzo's Root exists is to do things that the Hokage can't do."

"Your eye technique Kotoamatsukami threatens the Hokage, so the Hokage will naturally find someone to deal with you, otherwise the Third Hokage will be uneasy."

Hearing this, Shisui sighed softly.

He has always believed in the Third Hokage and believed that the Third Hokage dealt with the Uchiha because there was something wrong with the Uchiha. The Third Hokage has been trying to resolve the conflict between the village and the Uchiha.

Now that I think about it, he was being a little wishful.

Fortunately, he has found someone to be loyal to. If he continues to trust the Konoha high-ranking officials, he and the Uchiha will sooner or later be destroyed by these high-ranking officials.

Recovering his gradually scattered thoughts, Shisui asked Bai Ye: "Master Bai Ye, should I politely decline? Or should I go over and complete the meeting with Danzo?"

Bai Ye glanced at Shisui and recalled the meeting between Danzo and Shisui in the original time and space.

In the original time and space, in order to prevent a coup by his tribe, Shisui went alone to seek Danzo for help. As a result, Danzo took away his Mangekyō Sharingan. After becoming disillusioned with the village, he chose to jump off a cliff.

However, that was all the naive Shisui from the original time and space.

Under his guidance, Shisui had long since given up hope on the Konoha Village and placed all his goals on the continuation of his family.

After a moment of silence, Bai Ye said calmly:

"Of course I will go to the appointment. I also want to see what means Danzo will use to deal with you. Don't worry and go boldly. I will cover you."

"Yes, Lord Bai Ye."

…After witnessing Bai Ye disappear again, Shisui walked towards the meeting place.

Not long after, Shisui arrived at the meeting place, which was a dilapidated temple with two hideous statues placed at the entrance.

In the open space in front of the statue, Danzo, with bandages wrapped all over his body, had been waiting here for a long time.

After seeing Danzo's figure, Shisui immediately lowered his head and said anxiously: "Danzo, did you ask me to come here to help the Uchiha and the village resolve the conflict?"

Danzo glanced over Shisui like a venomous snake in the shadows examining its prey.

When the eye fell on Shisui's eyes, Danzo paused for a moment. He wanted to get Shisui's Kotoamatsukami Sharingan so much. With Kotoamatsukami, he could become the Fifth Hokage.

After retracting his slightly aggressive gaze, Danzo shook his head gently: "Shisui, you are a smart child, you should know that the conflict between the village and the Uchiha cannot be resolved."

"Itachi reported to me what happened at the Uchiha clan meeting. That group of Uchiha is not planning to launch a coup, but is already preparing for it. For the sake of the peace of the entire village, the Hokage and I cannot sit idly by."

Shisui's face darkened, and he said anxiously:

"I said that I would use Kotoamatsukami to control Chief Fugaku. As long as I control Chief Fugaku and order him to cancel the coup, the tribe members will not launch a coup again."

Danzo sneered and looked at Shisui with sympathy:

"Shisui, your idea is too naive. The conflict between the Uchiha and the village cannot be reconciled. Even if you control the current leader of the Uchiha, Uchiha Fugaku, there will be other radical Uchiha jumping out."

"You can control one Uchiha, can you control all of them?"

Facing Danzo's questioning, Shisui fell silent for a long time before he said, "Danzo-sama, I can't control all the clan members, but is there really no way for the Uchiha and the village to live in harmony?"

"It's not like there is no solution?" Danzo kept the question in suspense and paused intentionally.

Shisui looked Danzo in the eyes, as if he wanted a concrete answer, "Danzo, what is the solution? I really need the village's help."

Danzo walked towards Shisui and said, "As long as you are willing to hand over your Mangekyō Sharingan, I will help you resolve the conflict between the Uchiha and the village."

Before he could finish his words, Danzo suddenly jumped up and pounced towards Shisui.

Shisui's face changed slightly, and he quickly distanced himself. He only glanced at Danzo, then used his Sharingan to control Danzo, sighed softly, and said:

"Danzo-sama, you should get some sleep for now. Once I stop Chief Fugaku, I will come and apologize."

Suddenly, Danzo, who was originally controlled by the Sharingan illusion, raised a faint smile, and when Shisui turned to leave, he performed the instant body movement technique.

The next moment, Danzo punched Shisui in the abdomen and then reached for Shisui's eyes.

Danzo never thought of seizing the Mangekyō Sharingan by just talking. The words he said before and the behavior controlled by illusion were all to make Shisui let down his guard.

When Danzo touched Shisui's cheek with his right hand and was about to take away his Sharingan, Danzo finally realized that something was wrong.

After a bang, Shisui, who was attacked by Danzo, turned into a ball of smoke and disappeared.

Not far away, Shisui looked at Danzo who launched the attack and said expressionlessly: "Danzo-sama, what do you want to do? Why can you get rid of the influence of the Sharingan illusion?"
