Chapter 47: The Matryoshka Doll Recurs Again and Again



Inside the interlayer of space, Hyuga Kaze watched the famous scenes from the Naruto world and couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.

It has to be said that witnessing such a scene in person was extremely interesting. He even used that ultra-high-definition camera and projector to film it, hoping to project it out for all the villagers of Konoha to see the bromance between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura sometime in the future.

Because he lost control of his emotions when he met Itachi Uchiha, he released some of his hidden aura, and Hyuga Kaze sensed that Itachi's emotions were fluctuating.

So, after ordering a bunch of dumplings at the dumpling shop to shut Anko up, he used the excuse of going to the toilet to use his virtual world travel ability to come to the Hokage's office to monitor him. Unexpectedly, Uchiha Itachi didn't say anything, but instead saw Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen's usual bromance.

After Shimura Danzo left, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked lost, frowning as he muttered to himself, "Mist spies, Danzo, the Uchiha clan, Jinchuriki... this situation is really a headache. Minato, if only you were still here!"

Hearing this, Hyuga Kaze curled his lip in disdain, "You haven't finished what you were saying, have you? How useful it would be if Minato Namikaze were still here."

Just as he was about to leave after watching the show, a voice came from outside the door, "Lord Hokage, Uchiha Shisui requests an audience."

Upon hearing Shisui's name, Hinata Kaze immediately became interested, turned around, and enthusiastically turned on the camera again, ready to record more exciting scenes.

Upon hearing that Uchiha Shisui was requesting an audience, Hiruzen Sarutobi reacted swiftly, switching his emotions in the blink of an eye and reverting to his kind and gentle demeanor.

"Let Shisui come in directly!"

As the office door opened again, a black-haired ninja with a tuft of hair and a small katana carrying him entered. He was none other than the famous Shisui of the Body Flicker Technique.

"Lord Hokage," Uchiha Shisui said as soon as he entered the room, quickly stepping forward and kneeling on one knee in greeting.

"Shisui, is there something you need to see me about?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was warm and gentle, as if he were talking to his own child.

Shisui was originally assigned to a long-term mission on the border, but three years ago, a scoundrel slandered him in the village, causing tension in Konoha and unrest within the Uchiha clan. As a result, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to recall Shisui six months ago to serve as an informant to keep an eye on the Uchiha clan.

Shisui looked at the kind-faced Hokage and couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. The pressure he had been under within the clan recently seemed to have eased somewhat.

"Last night, the Uchiha clan held another clan meeting. Some clan members were very dissatisfied with the current situation of the clan and were quite agitated in their words, but they have calmed down under the suppression of the clan head, Fugaku. I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, some clan members are too narrow-minded and do not understand the greatness of the Will of Fire. They still have grievances about the relocation of the clan's territory. I will cooperate with the clan head to change the clan members' minds."

Compared to the Third Hokage who worked tirelessly for the village, Uchiha Shisui really felt that some of his clansmen were too extreme. He deeply loved the village and did not want the gap between the clansmen and the village to become too large.

His face twitched subtly, and Hiruzen Sarutobi closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them again, his tone becoming even gentler.

"You've had a tough time, Shisui. It's my incompetence as Hokage to put you in such a difficult position between the village and the clan. I can understand that the Uchiha clan has grievances against the village. I believe Konoha is a harmonious family. We are all one family, and it's normal to have some conflicts and frictions from time to time. These conflicts can be resolved through communication. As long as the misunderstandings are cleared up, everything will be fine."

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's righteous words, Shisui was even more moved. He felt ashamed of the Third Hokage, who had devoted himself to Konoha without complaint. The behavior of his clansmen truly made him feel ashamed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's attacks continued.

"Some members of the Uchiha clan hold a grudge against me, so I'll have to rely on you from now on. As the strongest member of the Uchiha clan, I hope you can use your prestige to become the link between the Uchiha clan and the village."

"You flatter me too much. I will do my best to ensure that everyone can receive the baptism of the Will of Fire and understand your good intentions."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled with satisfaction, “Where the leaves dance, the fire will never cease; the firelight will illuminate the village and allow new trees to sprout.”

Inside the room, upon hearing these words, Uchiha Shisui's aura surged even higher, and he expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Hiruzen Sarutobi for his guidance.

Inside the spatial interlayer, Hyuga Kaze was complaining, "I've tried using Fire Release in the forest before. Where the leaves are flying, the fire can't spread. You have to put out the fire quickly and turn it into something non-flammable, you idiot! You should know that setting fire to a mountain is a death sentence."

Completely unaware that a sixth brother was secretly watching the filming and even making sarcastic remarks, Uchiha Shisui, encouraged by Sarutobi Hiruzen, became incredibly energetic and his aura swelled up.

Finally, after Hiruzen Sarutobi instructed him to make more contact with clansmen like Itachi Uchiha who had a broad vision and were able to accept the illumination of the Will of Fire, he left with a glorious and resolute expression.

After Uchiha Shisui left, Hyuga Kaze glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen's instantly gloomy face. Before Hyuga Kaze could put away the recording device, a guy with an even gloomier face barged in.

It's the famous Danzo Nabe-gakure Shimura!

Seeing his best friend suddenly push open the door and come in, Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a nonchalant tone, "Why are you back again?"

"I just saw Uchiha Shisui leave. In my opinion, the Uchiha clan cannot be trusted, and he is no exception. You mustn't be fooled by him. We should take action against the Uchiha clan as soon as possible!"

"It's like you think taking action can solve everything," Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself, speechless. Then he let out a long sigh and explained, "Shisui is different. He is a descendant of Kagami and possesses the most unwavering Will of Fire. I believe in him."
