Chapter 42: The Unchangeable Plot
Chapter 42: The Unchangeable Plot
Seeing the scene, Li Yaoxiang couldn't help but feeling that Konoha's four elders were cruel. Shisui said to them that he would do it regardless of his past sentiments.
Shisui was also the grandson of their old close friend, Uchiha Kagami. The four elders didn't even think twice. They collectively agreed.
In fact, before transmigrated, Li Yaoxiang once suspected that Shisui's plead didn't really matter. After all, Shisui's choice was made only after Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed.
For every Shisui's actions, wouldn't Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others pay close attention to him? And with the crystal ball of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two elders' many manpower; wouldn't they understand that Danzo wants to kill Shisui?
Therefore, based on various doubts, Li Yaoxiang suspected that Shisui's death was Konoha's four elders' decision. And now, after transmigrating here and seeing this picture through the crystal ball, it confirmed Li Yaoxiang's conjecture.
Although he had some sympathy for Shisui's experience, Li Yaoxiang was still hard-hearted and has no intention of changing Shisui's destiny. He didn't want to ruin his entire darkening plan because of his temporary weakness.
And one more important point is that Li Yaoxiang suspected that the people or things involved in the Uchiha Clan's destruction might not be as simple as it seems. He suspected that Uchiha Madara, Obito, and Black Zetsu, and the others hidden behind the scenes might also be involved.
You know, although these three all have a common goal, which is to collect the Tailed Beast!
This big clan; there will be a group of 2, 3, 4 members awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan in the future. How would they collect the Tailed Beast then?
If their member can control every Tailed Beast when the time comes, wouldn't Uchiha Clan become their biggest stumbling block?
In addition to the original work, when Itachi was wiping the clan, Obito was already there to help, making Li Yaoxiang more confident in his guess. Therefore, whether it's his own darkening plan that demands it or to avoid these big bosses, as long as Li Yaoxiang is a little sane, he cannot prevent this tragedy.
After clearing his thoughts, Li Yaoxiang stopped thinking too much.
However, one thing he was thankful for was that he didn't expect his random move in the dark chess would have such a huge effect in his favor.
Shimura Danzo did not get 'Kotoamatsukami'. In other words, in the days to come, Li Yaoxiang would no longer have to worry about Naruto being affected by Danzo's Kotoamatsukami!
This was good news for him! No longer need to be checked and balanced because of Kotoamatsukami! It made it more convenient to act!
But being happy can wait. In this period of time, it was not the time for Li Yaoxiang to be idle. After all, no one knows whether the butterfly effect will cause or prevent the death of Shisui, which can make a huge difference. Therefore, he must pay close attention to the movements of all parties, just in case.
...
Uchiha Clan's residence, Clan hall.
At this moment, almost all members of the Uchiha clan gathered in the clan hall.
The reason why there is such a grand scene was because they received the news of Shisui's death, which for them, like thunder from a clear sky. Because Shisui was an important ace in their plan to seize power.
In the entire Uchiha Clan, only Shisui could enter and leave the Hokage Residence at will. Therefore, as long as they do not want to cause a lot of casualties when they seize power, they must have a spy like Shisui, which could cooperate with them inside and outside.
It can be said that Shisui's death completely disrupted their overall plan.
"Damn it! Why did Shisui suddenly die?!"
"Did the village discover something?"
"The last person I saw when Shisui died is Itachi! Could it be Itachi..."
There were noises in the hall.
When he heard someone doubting his son, Uchiha Fugaku immediately interrupted: "Enough! Shisui's things end here! Now it's no use saying that! The most important thing at the moment is that we must know what the village attitude is. We must prepare in advance! The original plan; we put on hold for now. After this matter fades, everyone will make a decision. Moreover, now that there is no Shisui to cooperate with us both internally and externally, we are not in a good spot."
In the hall, most members of the Uchiha Clan were full of unwilling expressions. But the facts are exactly as Clan Leader Fugaku said. They had nothing to say.
In the end, they had to follow Fugaku's instructions to bide one's time.
...
Hokage Residence, In Conference Hall.
After confirming that Shisui had died, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu did not feel saddened by the death of their grandson but felt relieved.
Only Shimura Danzo's face looked as ugly as eating shit.
Seeing his old friends who didn't take it seriously, Shimura Danzo was unable to bear it and said: "What's wrong? Do you think this thing is over? Don't forget, we can't find Shisui's corpse until now! You believe the words of Itachi? Uchiha's problems have not been solved yet, so are you relaxing now?"
Mitokado Homura: "Danzo, there is nothing we can do. Without Shisui's report, we have no clue about Uchiha's internals. We shouldn't act careless. Do you want to see a large number of casualties in the village?"
Utatane Koharu: "That's right. In case other villages take advantage of it, it's not good."
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Let me probe the child, Itachi. He is a little different from other Uchiha Clan people. Maybe we can let him replace Shisui's position, so that the village loss can be minimized."
...
Hokage room.
Sarutobi Hiruzen called Itachi to meet him alone.
"Itachi, I've heard what happened. I am very sorry for Shisui's death. The loss of Shisui is a great loss to the village. The village can't stand anymore loss. I hope you can replace Shisui and fulfill his mission during his lifetime." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought he would need to use a lot of lip service before Itachi could accept.
"Of course, Lord-Hokage. Needless to say, I agreed to this matter. But I have a request."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly surprised, then nodded and said: "Say it."
"I need you to give me a period of time to solve the problem of clan. If it really cannot be changed, then I will act according to your arrangements. Before that, I will also explain the situation of the clan."
After a moment of consideration, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally agreed.
If the Uchiha Clan can be solved without a single dead, it is undoubtedly the best result for the village. So he had no reason to refuse.
