Chapter 288 Uchiha Brothers

"I haven't fought him in a while, so I don't know how much he has improved."

Silently repeating what Bai Ye had just said, Shisui showed a surprised look and said cautiously: "Master Bai Ye, do you mean that you know the ninja who influenced Itachi behind the scenes?"

Bai Ye nodded, looked at Shisui and said:
"There are not many ninjas in the ninja world who can freely cross the Konoha barrier, and there are even fewer ninjas who target Konoha and Uchiha. If nothing unexpected happens, the ninja who secretly influences Itachi is the masked man."

"Masked man?" Shisui seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but couldn't remember who it was.

Seeing that Shisui was confused, Byakuya reminded him, "He is the masked man who attacked Konoha seven years ago and caused the disappearance of the Fourth Hokage and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Hearing this, Shisui's expression instantly became serious.

Although he was outside on a mission when the Nine-Tails Night occurred, he still had some understanding of this biggest turmoil in Konoha's history, and understood how much Konoha paid to quell this turmoil.

If four generations of couples had not died in that turmoil.

The Uchiha and the village will never reach the point of breaking up. The worst result is that the Uchiha will be severely suppressed by the Senju clan, and completely cut off from the idea of ​​becoming Hokage.

Bai Ye did not stop exposing the news, and then said a bombshell news:
"Seven years ago, the masked man escaped from Konohagakure and has been active in the black markets of various countries in the ninja world. I have also conducted a lot of investigations on him and obtained some news that surprised me very much."

At this point, Bai Ye paused deliberately, and then said: "The masked man who attacked the village is an Uchiha ninja. He has a Mangekyō that can activate time power."

"Kaleidoscope of space-time abilities?"

Shisui's face was filled with disbelief, and he murmured, "But apart from me, there shouldn't be anyone else in the family who has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Besides, even if he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, why would he attack the village? What good would this do other than making the clan members suspicious of Konoha's higher-ups?"

Shisui had never seen the masked man, but that didn't stop him from doubting the masked man's brain.

Although the ninjas in the family are impulsive and easily get carried away, they will never do such a useless thing, unless the masked man's goal is simply to destroy Konoha.

Seeing Shisui's puzzled look, Bai Ye said with a half-smile:

"From the looks of it, you may not know as much about the masked man as I do. Have you ever thought that there are other places where Uchiha exist besides Konoha?"

Shisui was stunned for a moment, then he said to Bai Ye: "Master Bai Ye, are you trying to say that the masked man is not from Konoha, but from Uchiha Madara?"

Bai Ye nodded, and then said: "During the past few months in Konoha, I have looked up information in the library. After Uchiha Madara left Konoha, he stayed outside for two years."

"Two years is enough time for Uchiha Madara to cultivate offspring. I have reason to suspect that the masked man is the offspring of Uchiha Madara. As for what the goals of Uchiha Madara and the masked man are, I still don't know."

"But what is certain is that their target is definitely not limited to Konoha."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have continued to exert influence on Uchiha Itachi, manipulated Uchiha Itachi's life trajectory, and even let Uchiha Itachi go to extremes in order to cultivate a pair of qualified eyes."

After a pause, Bai Ye continued, "When you act later, be careful of Itachi's Sharingan. His Sharingan is likely to be of the same level as yours."

Shisui was stunned and looked up at the moon in the distance. He originally thought that resolving the conflict between his family and the village was the most difficult thing in the world, but he didn't expect that the water in the ninja world was deeper than he imagined.

It turns out that the people who attacked the village during the Nine-tail Night might really be Uchiha, and the power of Uchiha is far stronger than he and his clan members imagined. However, these Uchiha who drifted outside did not regard them as their clan members.

Shaking his head gently, trying to clear his mind of all the distracting thoughts, Shisui decided to focus on saving his clan members, and the future matters could wait until the Uchiha.

After tonight, there will be no more Uchiha in Konoha.

After saluting to Byakuya, Shisui waved his hand and led his Root ninjas towards the direction of the Uchiha clan's territory.

Bai Ye did not stay any longer. After sensing Obito's chakra, he disappeared on the spot.

Not long after, Shisui led the Root ninjas to the outskirts of the Uchiha clan's territory.

After inheriting Danzo's identity, Shisui naturally inherited everything that Danzo had, including the control over the dozens of Root ninjas under his command.

Except for a few jonin, all the other Root ninjas were tools that were cursed.

Although they saw the conversation between Shisui and Byakuya, they did not dare to raise any objections. Everything Lord Danzo did was for Konoha, and they were following Lord Danzo to protect the roots of Konoha.

After entering the clan's territory, Shisui smelled the smell of blood in the air and frowned.

After walking a few steps forward, Shisui saw the Uchiha civilian lying in a pool of blood, and said to his men with a grim expression:

"You take these Uchiha to the Root base, and the rest of you go find and deal with the remaining Uchiha. Remember, I want living Uchiha. Only living Uchiha can continuously contribute the Sharingan."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

After sending away most of the Root ninjas, Shisui chased after Itachi's location while sensing the remaining chakra in the air.

But even though I know that he and Uchiha Itachi have taken two completely different paths.

But I didn't expect that Uchiha Itachi would really attack his clan members. He was even crazier than I imagined. I just didn't know if Itachi could make up his mind when facing his parents.

Pouring chakra into his calves, Shisui activated the instant body-flickering technique and disappeared from the spot the next moment.

Just over ten seconds later, Shisui arrived at the clan leader's residence.

Outside the clan leader's residence, there were several radical Uchiha lying in a pool of blood, including some clan elders with three magatama. These people were all supporters of clan leader Fugaku, and their strength had long reached the level of jonin.

Shisui didn't have much of a favorable impression of these radical jonin in the clan, but he still formed seals with his hands and had his shadow clones send a few of them for treatment.

If you want to gain Lord Bai Ye’s attention in the future, you will have to rely on the power of these people.

Gathering his thoughts that were gradually dispersing, Shisui looked inside the mansion, tightly gripping the katana in his hand, and mentally prepared himself for battle.

Being able to defeat several jonin in a short period of time, Itachi's strength is probably not much different from his.

Although he did not get rid of Itachi here, he still wanted to teach Uchiha Itachi a profound lesson. It was also the last time for him, as an older brother, to educate his younger brother.
