Outside Konoha Village.
After the Chunin Examination, Kumogakure ninjas left Konoha early in the morning, preparing to return to the village.
But there is still one person left.
“Is Samui here ?”
The Fourth Raikage frowned and looked in the direction of the Uchiha clan.
Could something happen?
Just as he was worried, he saw a figure appear, approaching quickly from a distance.
It’s Samui.
“I’m sorry, Lord Raikage, I’m late.” Samui apologized after joining the Kumogakure people.
“Did something happen?”
Raikage keenly noticed that Samui looked frightened, as if she had just experienced some kind of danger.
Samui took a deep breath, and then told her truthfully what Dan wanted her to convey to the Raikage:
“The Uchiha clan is about to launch a coup…”
After hearing this, Raikage couldn’t help being shocked, and his eyes were as wide as bells.
Come back to your senses.
“Cee, Darui, stay here, continue to monitor the movements of Konoha, and remember to proceed with caution.”
Raikage first gave orders to his left and right men, and then said in a deep voice to Samui and others, “The rest of you will follow me and rush back to Kumogakure at full speed!”
If what Uchiha Dan said was true, then Kumogakure would naturally not miss such a good opportunity.
After the Fourth Raikage returns to the village, once he gets the exact news, he will mobilize an army and go south as quickly as possible to capture Konoha!
……
When Dan returned to the Muscle Modification Department, he happened to run into Tsunade who was about to go out.
“Your necklace.”
Under Tsunade’s surprised gaze, he took out the crystal necklace and handed it to her, “This is what Samui asked me to return to you.”
“…Thanks.”
Tsunade said thank you with a surprised look on her face.
She had given up at first, but she didn’t expect that this precious necklace would be back in her hands at this time.
“Where is Samui?”
Tsunade asked while holding the necklace, wanting to thank the other party in person.
But Dan’s answer made her eyes widen:
“She went back to Kumogakure. Samui is Kumogakure’s spy, don’t you know?”
Is there such a thing ?
Seeing Tsunade’s dull expression, Dan casually asked her how the Hashirama cell culture plan was going.
Tsunade came back to her senses and said to him seriously:
“I have cultivated a batch of new cell plants, but for Uchiha who has not turned on the kaleidoscope, rash transplantation may still be risky. Do you want to select candidates and let me perform transplant operations for them?”
Dan shook his head and once again said something that surprised Tsunade:
“There is no time. From now on, our cooperation is suspended. You should leave here.”
“Why?”
Tsunade was puzzled. Did she do something wrong to make him unhappy?
“Because Uchiha is about to stage a coup. From this second on, if you don’t want to be affected, it’s better to keep a distance from Uchiha.”
Dan said calmly.
A coup?
Wait, Tsunade was too frightened and felt a little dizzy.
“Why the coup? Aren’t things going well between Uchiha and the village now? Even Danzo was overthrown by you, and you became the Hokage’s assistant…”
After she recovered, she stared at Dan in disbelief and began to question.
Dan also stared at Tsunade with his eyes, and said slowly:
“It’s not that we want a coup, it’s that the Third Generation fell for the Fourth Raikage’s plan to tear us, thinking that Uchiha and Kumogakure were colluding.
Just now, the Sandaime had taken the lead and sent people to capture Samui, planning to use her as a witness to label Uchiha as a traitor.
At this point, if Uchiha doesn’t rise up to resist, he may be close to annihilation. “
It turns out…that’s it.
“I will go find the Sandaime right away! I will explain everything to him, let him put aside his suspicion, and stop his dangerous behavior against Uchiha.”
After Tsunade learned the whole story, she offered to be a lobbyist.
“Do you think the Sandaime will believe you? In his eyes, you and Uchiha are no different now, they are all the same.”
Dan said sarcastically.
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, but she still didn’t intend to give up. She gritted her teeth and asked with a frown: “No matter what, please let me try.”
She wants to protect the peace of Konoha.
“No need to trouble you. If you are looking for a lobbyist, I have a better candidate.”
Dan smiled, turned around and walked forward, saying to Tsunade, “If you want to see a good show, come with me.”
Tsunade was startled and quickly chased after him.
Dan has decided to take action.
But as Tsunade said, the Uchiha clan has been very happy recently, and their relationship with the village has become much easier than before.
In this situation.
This Samui incident alone may not be enough to make the tribesmen determined to launch a coup.
At this time, a real trigger is needed to completely arouse the hatred and anger of the Uchiha clan.
In Dan’s view.
The trigger he was looking for was Uchiha Shisui.
The two came to Shisui’s house.
In the yard.
Tobi and the two brothers Fujin and Raijin got together and were playing and making a fuss.
Shisui looked on helplessly, with a look of despair on his face.
Until Dan and Tsunade arrived.
The three living treasures immediately calmed down and became honest. After all, they had all been severely beaten by the two of them.
“You guys go out to play, I have something to talk to Shisui.”
With just one sentence, the three guys ran out of the yard as if they had been granted amnesty.
“Dan, what’s wrong?”
Shisui asked curiously, having a premonition that it was very important for Dan and Tsunade to come to him.
Sure enough.
Cutting to the chase, he told Shisui that the Sandaime suspected Uchiha of colluding with Kumogakure and sent people to capture Samui.
And Dan also said:
“I have been to the Anbu prison, but Danzo is missing. Obviously, the Sandaime went back on his word, secretly released Danzo, and prepared to take action against the Uchiha clan.”
“How… is this possible? Lord Hokage, he is not that kind of person.”
Shisui took a step back, unable to believe that the Sandaime would do this.
Dan shook his head and stared at Shisui expressionlessly:
“You are wrong, Sarutobi Hiruzen has always been like this.
He has been Hokage for decades and has been hypocritically playing the role of a good old guy.
He clearly had countless opportunities to sit down with the Uchiha clan, negotiate calmly, and resolve the conflicts between the two parties, but he never did that.
On the contrary, he deliberately indulged Danzo, Koharu, Homura and others, and pressured the Uchiha clan step by step.
The person who really wants the Uchiha clan to die is him, Sarutobi Hiruzen! “
Hearing this, Shisui felt as if he was struck by lightning, and took a few steps back again, until he could no longer retreat and pressed against the wall.
“But……”
Seeing that Shisui was in despair and pale, Dan suddenly changed the subject and said, “In order to protect this hard-won peace between the family and the village, I can give the Sandaime one last chance.”
“…Really?”
Shisui’s eyes lit up, and his hope rekindled.
Dan walked towards Shisui, his eyes burning as he said:
“I heard that the Sandaime regards you as his own grandson, the closest and most trusting to you. So, you go find him.”
Shisui quickly asked: “Dan, what do you want me to do?”
“You only need to tell the Sandaime that you will use Kotoamatsukami to prevent the Uchiha clan’s coup and maintain peace in Konoha. As long as he chooses to believe you, then I will cooperate and cancel the original coup plan.”
He finally said these words.
“Is it that simple?” Shisui was stunned.
“Do you think I need to lie to you?”
Dan smiled slightly and patted Shisui on the shoulder, “Go, Shisui. The peace of the village and the future of the family are entrusted to you.”
Shisui took a deep look at Dan.
“I see.”
He took a deep breath, turned around with firm eyes and walked out of the door, quickly walking out of the yard.
Watching Shisui’s leaving figure.
Tsunade was confused.
“Kotoamatsukami, what is that? Why can it stop Uchiha’s coup?”
She couldn’t help but ask.
“Kotoamatsukami, it’s Shisui’s Mangekyo ability, the most powerful illusion in the world.”
Dan didn’t hide it and told Tsunade about the ability of this technique, “It can invade the other person’s mind and modify their will without them being aware of it, thereby achieving permanent mental control over others. That guy Tobi was hit. That’s why it betrayed Obito and joined the Uchiha clan.”
“What?!”
Tsunade was shocked. She had never thought that there was such an illusion in the world.
etc.
She suddenly realized something, her eyes flickered for a moment, and her face became cloudy and uncertain.
Dan saw through Tsunade’s thoughts at a glance, and said with a half-smile:
“It seems that you have begun to wonder whether you fell victim for it, which would explain why you are so close to the Uchiha clan and have helped Uchiha so much. Right?”
Without waiting for Tsunade to answer, he said again:
“Don’t worry, it takes more than ten years of resting period for Kotoamatsukami to activate each time. Unless you have Senju Hashirama’s chakra, you can quickly restore your pupil power and shorten the cooling time. And as you know, Shisui actively refused to transplant Hashirama’s cells .”
“I see.”
Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still doubtful.
Seeing her suspicious look, Dan couldn’t help but shook his head and sighed:
“Actually, it’s not just you who is afraid of being manipulated by Kotoamatsukami, I’m also afraid of it. By the way, Sandaime will also feel the same.”
When Tsunade heard this, her pupils shrank immediately, and she immediately understood what he meant.
This technique of “Kotoamatsukami” is really potent.
For Uchiha and Konoha senior officials, this is a power that both sides must fight for and hold in their hands.
Uchiha’s Kotoamatsukami. In fact, he has been able to control the Sandaime long ago, let him abdicate in favor of others, and give the position of Hokage to Uchiha.
It’s just that Shisui doesn’t want to do this.
And if the top leaders of Konoha get Kotoamatsukami, they can also use them to deal with Uchiha, making this clan surrender forever and never be able to make any trouble again.
Thinking of this.
“You mean, after learning about the abilities of Kotoamatsukami, the Sandaime will steal Shisui’s Mangekyō Sharingan? Will he really do such a thing?”
Tsunade’s eyes were filled with surprise.
“Let’s wait and see. What kind of person the Sandaime is, we will know soon.”
With a long look, Dan looked in the direction of the Hokage Building.
