It wasn't until it was completely dark that Itachi Uchiha left the cliff that had swallowed Shisui's figure.
"Tch, after all that dawdling, you've finally left?"
At the bottom of the cliff, Hyuga Kaze curled his lip in disdain. Such a sentimental guy had ruthlessly slaughtered his entire clan in less than a year. It was disgusting to watch.
A few days after breaking through his strength, Hyuga Kaze began using the Hollow World Walk to wander around Konoha Village. With his enhanced Martial Arts Awareness and Mind Mirror Technique, as well as his Byakugan with its increased vision, he explored the Root's base, the Hokage Building, and other clans.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Hyuga Kaze didn't take anything from the areas he had scouted out. Instead, he left something behind: the Flying Thunder God seal. He planned to come back and take everything at once when the time was right.
When Uchiha Shisui fought against the Root ninjas, Hyuga Kaze was wandering nearby and happened to witness the aftermath of the battle.
How could such a memorable scene be missed? So Hyuga Kaze set up his recording equipment and filmed the entire process of the Root ninjas' pursuit, Uchiha Shisui leaving behind a forged suicide note, handing it over to Uchiha Itachi, and then tragically leaping off the cliff.
After Uchiha Shisui's body crashed into the water and fell into a coma due to serious injuries, Hyuga Kaze emerged from the spatial interlayer in a blind spot on the cliff and stored Uchiha Shisui's body in the training room space.
Inside the space, looking at Uchiha Shisui who was on the verge of death, Hyuga Kaze scratched his head. He couldn't figure out what to do with Uchiha Shisui for the moment.
Hyuga Kaze saved Uchiha Shisui on a whim, feeling it would be a pity for this rare honest man in the ninja world to die so easily.
Shisui's injuries were extremely severe: poisoning, loss of an eye, and internal organ rupture caused by the impact. Hyuga Kaze's medical ninjutsu was completely ineffective in treating him. To heal such injuries, besides Tsunade, the only thing Hyuga Kaze could think of was the Rejuvenating Divine Light condensed by the Three Lights Rejuvenating Divine Talisman.
This was a reward from the newbie gift pack. Now all that's left is the Six Paths Rejuvenation Divine Light. Is it worth using this life-saving trump card for Uchiha Shisui?
So, Hinata asked himself, what should he do if there was no way to save him?
Are you suggesting we use Shisui's body to create Blood Shadow Clones?
That would allow Uchiha Shisui to utilize his physical talents, but the Blood Shadow clones he created earlier had already developed a certain level of intelligence, so cultivating a new one wouldn't be cost-effective, and his body, lacking the Sharingan, didn't seem worth modifying.
Then the only option is treatment. Hyuga Kaze has some doubts about whether the Rejuvenation Divine Light can restore Shisui's Sharingan.
If possible, after reclaiming Shisui's eyes, could the two Mangekyou Sharingan, which share the same origin, be combined into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?
Uchiha Shisui, who possessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, was an extremely useful combat asset.
After much deliberation, Hinata Kaze finally made up his mind to first treat Shisui's injuries himself, then implant the most stringent control seal into him, and finally use a sealing technique to stabilize Shisui's physical condition.
Let's wait until we find a better solution to break the seal and heal Shisui. If we could synthesize the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and let the revived Shisui face off against Uchiha Juro, how interesting that would be!
Although it was already pitch black, the Hokage Building was still brightly lit. Hiruzen Sarutobi had a large pile of official documents in front of him, but he had no interest in dealing with them. He was just smoking his pipe and puffing away. He was anxiously waiting for a result.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi had some doubts about the Uchiha clan gathering, he wasn't that worried. What he was most concerned about was Uchiha Shisui's condition, fearing that his death was not thorough or discreet.
Having dealt with Fugaku Uchiha too many times, Hiruzen Sarutobi was confident that he could completely suppress him. This guy was conflicted and indecisive; he had a fierce face, but in reality, he was weak and not like a ninja at all.
The Uchiha clan is not a threat. Why would they gather so many clansmen repeatedly to prepare for a rebellion, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know?
What gives Hiruzen Sarutobi the biggest headache right now is still his former favorite, Shisui Uchiha's exaggerated and unreasonable eye techniques.
He had heard Tobirama talk about the evil of the Uchiha clan many times, but it wasn't until Shisui revealed this eye technique that he truly understood the evil that was inherent in the very bones of this clan.
Even someone like Shisui, who seems to care deeply for the village, probably harbors a hidden seed of evil deep within his heart; otherwise, how could he have awakened such an ability?
Just as Hiruzen Sarutobi was trying to convince himself, an urgent voice came from outside the door from the Anbu.
"Lord Hokage, the Anbu has reported an emergency involving the Uchiha clan."
It seemed Danzo had accomplished his mission well. Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe, suppressed his inner relief and joy, adjusted his expression, and said in a deep voice, "Come in and talk."
The next second, the door opened, and a masked ANBU ninja quickly walked to the desk and knelt on one knee.
Although he knew perfectly well what was going on, Hiruzen Sarutobi still pretended to be very worried and asked, "What happened to the Uchiha clan?"
The ANBU ninja didn't dare raise his head, relaying the intelligence reported by the Uchiha clan's surveillance posts and the information previously gathered by another ANBU member: "Reporting to the Hokage, the Uchiha clan is holding another gathering tonight, but Uchiha Shisui did not participate..."
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned for a moment. This was not what was supposed to be!
Barely suppressing his turbulent emotions, Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly asked, "Not attending the clan meeting isn't a big deal, so why are you reporting it so nervously?"
The ANBU ninja quickly explained, "After the Uchiha clan meeting, they found Shisui's suicide note. It is said that he committed suicide because of too much pressure."
However, reviewing the surveillance footage revealed that Zhi Shui appeared to have been seriously injured before the gathering, with one of his eyes gouged out.
After a pause, under the pressure of Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze, the ANBU ninja continued, "According to the report from the ANBU who were arranged to provide backup, Uchiha Shisui has fallen into the Naka River from a cliff location in a blind spot of the surveillance."
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt both angry and somewhat relieved. He suddenly stood up, staring at the kneeling Anbu member with an anxious expression: "How could this happen? Where is Shisui now? Have you found him?"
"Reporting to the Hokage, the Naga River is swift and has several tributaries downstream. Although the Anbu have gone to search and retrieve it, they haven't found it yet. However, judging from Shisui's previous injuries, there's probably no hope of finding him after falling from that cliff!"
Hearing the Third Hokage's urgent voice, the Anbu ninja was moved and hesitated before revealing the remaining information: "The Uchiha clan has also mobilized a large number of ninjas to search for Shisui's whereabouts, but so far without success. In addition, according to surveillance footage, it seems that Elder Danzo was in the same area as Shisui before the incident."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart tightened, and he interrupted the Anbu's report, "Send more men to search for Shisui's whereabouts, and at the same time, be careful not to spread any rumors!"
After saying that, Hiruzen Sarutobi walked to the window, looked towards the Naka River, and silently prayed, "I hope the rolling eastward flow of the Naka River will carry you to a carefree place. I am the Hokage, and there are many things I have to do. Forgive me, Shisui!"
