Chapter 40 Light and Darkness

"Hehe, when did you learn to flatter?"

Sandaime teased Shisui, but judging from his expression, it was very helpful.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Zhishui has a serious face, full of loyalty to the three generations.

Hearing the words, the third generation looked at the young man in front of him more and more kindly, and asked with concern:

"Recently, you have been asked to perform too many tasks. Your body should not be able to take it anymore, right? Well, you should take a good rest for a few days and go back to the clan to have a look. I have also heard that your clan seems to be quite critical of you. You You have to have a good relationship with them."

It seems to be concerned, but it is actually a test.

Shisui is not an idiot, he immediately heard the implication of the third generation, so he quickly bowed and replied: "Thank you, Hokage-sama, for your concern."

Then, he expressed his concerns about the Uchiha clan.

Because Shisui got too close to Konoha's high-level executives, it caused dissatisfaction among the radicals in the clan. At the clan meeting tonight, those people are very likely to attack him.

If the radicals gain power, the Uchiha clan will go further to the opposite side of the village.

"well."

After hearing this, Sandaime let out a long sigh.

Then, he was heartbroken and made a confession in front of Zhishui:

"This is all my fault.

During my reign, I failed to resolve the grievances between Uchiha and the village, and finally had to hand over this burden to the fourth generation. It never occurred to me that the fourth generation died young. In desperation, I had no choice but to return to this seat.

The current village has not recovered from the Nine-Tails Rebellion a few years ago, and is very weak.

The major ninja villages headed by Yunyin are all eyeing Konoha.

At this juncture, if something happens to the Uchiha clan again, it will be a fatal blow to Konoha, and internal turmoil will inevitably lead to external turmoil.

At that time, in case Konoha...

After I die, how can I have the face to go to the Pure Land to meet the first and second generation adults! "

After saying these heartfelt words, Third Generation seems to have aged a lot.

When Zhishui heard the words, he was deeply moved and couldn't help blurting out:

"Master Hokage, I will definitely stop the clansmen and never let the kind of thing you worry about happen."

Alright, what I'm waiting for is your words.

The third generation looked serious, looked at Shisui with burning eyes, and said emotionally:

"Shisui, your grandfather Uchiha Kagami is my best friend, and in my heart, I have always treated you as my own grandson.

Mirror is an amazing ninja who interpreted the will of fire with his whole life. I always firmly believe that you will be able to inherit the legacy of the mirror and protect the future of Konoha.

Everything is left to you. "

At this moment, he entrusted a heavy burden to the young man in front of him.

Shisui was shocked all over, then knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Uchiha Shisui, I swear to the death to complete the task!"

"well!"

The third generation showed a kind smile again, his eyes were full of relief.

First show concern, then stage bitter tricks, and finally move out the ancestors of Zhishui, and use the will of fire to engage in moral kidnapping.

The third generation of this combination of speaking skills has been practiced to the state of proficiency.

After watching Zhishui leave.

San Daime sat back in his chair and continued to meditate.

In order to deal with Uchiha, in addition to Shisui, he also has the Itachi chess piece in his hand, which can be said to be a two-pronged approach.

But even so, the third generation is still not at ease. After all, Shisui and Itachi are Uchiha's people after all.

Never trust an Uchiha 100%.

This is the advice given to him by the teacher of the third generation, the second generation of Hokage Senju Tomona.

I have to guard against it.

ten minutes later.

Kakashi appeared in the Hokage office.

"After much deliberation, no one in Anbu is better than you. Only you who have sharingan can know enough about Uchiha and have the strength to sneak into their clan. Kakashi, this task is entrusted to you .

Third Dai Muyu said earnestly.

He asked Kakashi to secretly enter the Nanga Shrine to spy on the information of the Uchiha Clan.

"yes."

Kakashi knelt on one knee, lowered his head and responded.

He, who has always been afraid of trouble, naturally has a big head for such a tricky task, but he has no room to refuse Hokage's order.

The third generation seemed to understand what Kakashi was thinking, and added gently:

"Remember, to protect yourself first, withdraw immediately if you find something is wrong, don't be brave."

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi responded again.

Although the third generation said so, Kakashi knew that this matter was related to the safety of the village, and he had to get valuable information no matter what.

Can't leave empty handed.

Kakashi walked towards the outside of the Hokage Building while thinking about the infiltration plan.

Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance at the corner of the corridor.

Danzo.

"Kakashi, I appreciate your performance in Anbu, and even want to dig you to the root." Danzo stopped Kakashi and got straight to the point.

Kakashi's face changed, and he declined, "Please don't joke, Danzo-sama."

"No, the root is more suitable for you than the dark part, because you have dark qualities."

Danzo's gaze was meaningful, as if he had already seen through the darkness deeply buried in Kakashi's heart.

He knew that the young man in front of him, who seemed to be loyal to the will of fire, actually had a lot of complaints against the third generation in his heart.

because.

The suicide of Hatake Sakumo was indirectly caused by the third generation.

And Danzo also hinted to Kakashi that the third generation claimed to be a pacifist, but inadvertently expanded the war and became the chief culprit in killing Obito and Rin.

Later, in order to reset, the third generation prohibited Anbu from participating in the war on the night of the nine tails, killing Kakashi's teacher fourth generation.

Although Kakashi did not believe these conspiracy theories of Danzo in the end, once the seeds of doubt were planted, they would quietly take root and germinate.

Isn't it.

"Master Danzo, if there is nothing else, I will go first."

Kakashi had no intention of entangled with Danzo, bypassing the latter and preparing to leave.

Danzo raised his crutches, stopped Kakashi again, narrowed his eyes and asked:

"The third generation came to you to infiltrate the Uchiha clan, right? It's too much for you to go alone for such a dangerous task."

Without waiting for Kakashi to answer, he took out a signal scroll from his arms and told Kakashi:

"Don't worry, the roots of my subordinates will be dispatched tonight to surround Uchiha's clan. Once you find that Uchiha has the intention of rebellion or is in danger, pull this signal scroll, and the roots will support you as soon as possible. you."

Danzo's words made Kakashi feel the seriousness of the situation again, but he asked calmly:

"Does Master Hokage know about this?"

Danzo shook his head, and said solemnly:

"The third generation is too indecisive. To deal with Uchiha, he must make a decisive decision and take thunderous measures. If he doesn't want to take the blame, let me, the Hokage, assist."

Kakashi fell silent after hearing this.

He has been a ninja for so many years, so he naturally knows that Sandaime and Danzo are the light and darkness of Konoha.

No one can live without someone.

So, even Danzo did such absurd and rebellious things as assassinating Hokage, and was finally forgiven by the third generation.

Some things, although the third generation objected to it on the surface, they secretly allowed Danzo to do it.

Is it the same this time?

After some hesitation, Kakashi still took the signal scroll from Danzo.

Watching Kakashi's back leave, Danzo's eyes flickered.

He couldn't wait to get rid of Uchiha. Apart from Uchiha threatening Konoha's peace, there was another reason, that is, Danzo coveted Uchiha's Sharingan.

But if tonight's operation fails, so be it.

Kakashi was sent by Hokage, and if things get serious, it will be the third generation's responsibility. At that time, Danzo can also take the opportunity to force Hiruzaru Sarutobi to abdicate.

No matter what, he wins.

Soon it was evening, and the sky was getting dark.

In the gym, I had dinner without any haste, and my nephew Uchiha Itachi also came to the door on time.

Itachi followed his father's instructions and took Duan to the clan meeting tonight.

"Close the door early and rest, I will go back as soon as I go."

Juan gave Samuel some instructions, and then went out with his nephew.

The uncle and nephew walked on the streets of Konoha, and they didn't speak a word all the way.

Arrived at the entrance of the clan.

Itachi raised his head inadvertently, and looked at the several tall buildings around the clan.

He could sense that Anbu had increased manpower significantly in the past two days, and he was probably in a high-rise building at this time, monitoring Uchiha's movements from all directions.

Looking at the land of the Uchiha clan again, there is a peaceful atmosphere, and ordinary clansmen are completely unaware of the upcoming danger.

Itachi finally glanced at the profile of his uncle, who was expressionless and couldn't guess what he was thinking.

I hope my uncle will not go crazy at the clan meeting.

Itachi prayed silently in his heart.

As night falls, a new moon hangs on the branches.

By the faint moonlight, the uncle and nephew came to the main hall of Nanhe Shrine, lifted the seventh tatami, and revealed a secret passage.

Along the long corridor, the two quickly approached the underground secret room where the clan meeting was held.

As soon as the door was pushed open, there was a lot of voices and a commotion.
