Chapter 289 Konoha Traitor
"Since you have chosen to stand on the side of the village, then be a man and kill my mother and me cleanly. Our pain will only last for a moment, but the pain in your heart will last for a long, long time."

After entering the mansion, Shisui soon overheard the conversation between Fugaku and Itachi.

Unlike what Shisui had imagined, after knowing that Itachi betrayed Uchiha and chose the village, clan leader Fugaku did not get furious like before. Instead, he accepted it all quietly and began to comfort Uchiha Itachi.

After seeing this scene, Shisui couldn't help but frown.

If Uchiha Itachi could still be comforted after committing the crime of exterminating his clan, then what about those clansmen who fell in a pool of blood, and what about those clansmen who followed Uchiha Fugaku to launch a coup?

Does the entire Uchiha clan have to pay for the conflict between father and son?

In just a moment, Shisui felt sorry for the radical tribesmen lying in a pool of blood outside, and the last good impression he had for Itachi was gone.

Itachi is too selfish. Itachi's life has always been arranged.

But Itachi also quietly arranged the lives of other people, including the sacrificed tribesmen and Sasuke who was deliberately spared.

At this moment, Itachi noticed the footsteps behind him, turned around and frowned:

"Danzo, didn't I agree to your terms? Why did you come here? Are you worried that I won't complete the deal with you?"

Shisui shook his head, then said: "The deal between you and me has come to an end. You can leave the rest to the Root. The Root will handle everything for you. You can leave now."

Itachi frowned:

"I can't give you the Uchiha Sharingan. This is not part of our deal. If you insist on attacking me, I don't mind doing it to you. I'm already a renegade ninja, and renegade ninjas have no scruples."

Shisui sneered, then said to Uchiha Itachi:

"I am very disappointed in you. You have forgotten our agreement and your promise to protect the Uchiha. You are not even as good as Uchiha Fugaku. You don't even have the courage to take action against the Konoha high-ranking officials?"

"Promise, courage?"

Itachi's expression became uncertain. He didn't know why Danzo said these words to him.

Fugaku and Mikoto, who were waiting for death on the side, also stood there in a daze. They couldn't figure out what was going on and why an old fox like Danzo would suddenly say such things to Itachi.

However, as expected, a crisis arose in the deal between Itachi and the village.

After hesitating for a moment, Itachi opened his Sharingan. Three pitch-black magatama appeared in his eyes and quickly changed into the shape of shurikens.

But unlike Shisui's four-bladed Mangekyō, Itachi's Mangekyō has three blades.

After opening the Mangekyō, Itachi almost realized that something was wrong with Danzo. There seemed to be traces of covering up by ninjutsu on Danzo's body. This person was most likely not Danzo, but another ninja.

But why did the other party disguise himself as Danzo, and where is Danzo now?
After taking off the mask that concealed his identity, Shisui revealed a familiar face. He also opened his Mangekyō Sharingan and stared at Itachi.

After seeing this familiar face, Itachi could no longer remain calm and said in surprise: "Shisui, why are you Shisui?"

Itachi had guessed the true identity of the person in front of him by many people, but he had never thought that the Danzo in front of him was actually Shisui. When he thought about the conversation and transaction between him and Danzo this month, Itachi felt as if he was in another world, and even wondered if he had been caught in some advanced illusion.

Itachi's loss of composure immediately attracted the attention of Fugaku and Mikoto. They also saw Shisui, who had canceled his transformation technique, with shock written all over his face, and he was speechless.

They simply could not imagine that Shisui, who had been missing for several months, would appear in the clan territory in the form of Danzo, and even reach some kind of deal with Itachi to destroy the Uchiha.

After forcing himself to calm down, Itachi questioned, "Shisui, why did you become Danzo, and why did you give me the order to exterminate my clan members?"

Shisui sneered and said:
"The afternoon when the clan leader decided to launch a coup, I received a request from Danzo. In order to obtain the Mangekyō Sharingan, Danzo attacked me by surprise, but I ended up killing him."

"From then on, I gave up the identity of Shisui and started using the identity of Danzo."

"As for why I gave you the order to eliminate the Uchiha? Of course it was to save the Uchiha. If you dared to attack me at that time, I would naturally reveal my identity and cooperate with you, and we would save the Uchiha together."

After a pause, Shisui continued:

"But Itachi, what you did made me very disappointed... It made me dare not continue to trust you."

"When faced with Danzo and the Senju clan, who were stronger than you, you chose to compromise. When faced with your clan members, you chose to strike hard, using their lives in exchange for the survival of a few. Even after reaching an agreement with me, you attacked ordinary people in the clan."

"Itachi, have you ever thought that if I had compromised with Danzo at that time, it would not just be the name of the Uchiha clan that disappeared tonight, but all the clan members."

After hearing what Shisui said, Itachi, Fugaku and Mikoto were all immersed in shock and could not forget it.

They almost knew Shisui's plan. Shisui wanted to take advantage of Itachi's opportunity to eliminate Uchiha and make the name of Uchiha disappear from the ninja world forever, just like the dissolution of the Senju clan.

However, if Uchiha loses his pride, he will lose the chance to become Hokage.

What’s the difference between that and being dead? Uchiha values ​​honor more than life.

Thinking of this, Fugaku couldn't help but speak:
"Shisui, since you have secretly controlled the Root, why don't you inform us? After the Root and the security forces join forces, the success rate of our coup will be greatly improved."

"Maybe there's a chance to become the Fifth Hokage!"

"I can not become the Hokage, and let you become the Hokage as Danzo. As long as there is a Hokage in Uchiha, it will be enough."

Shisui glanced at Fugaku and sneered:
"Patriarch Fugaku, why are you so narrow-minded? Even if we become Hokage, we can't deal with the Senju clan. It's better to stay in the Root honestly. We have the power of Hokage but don't have to become Hokage."

"And the ninja world is not just Konoha, nor is it just the Land of Fire."

"He always limited his sights to the Konohagakure, and spent all his time concentrating on the intrigues with the Senju clan. No wonder Patriarch Fugaku ended up being killed by his own son."

After scolding Uchiha Fugaku, Shisui looked at Itachi and said, "Konoha traitor Uchiha Itachi, before you kill your entire clan and leave Konoha, I have to punish you, the traitor."
