"Ever since that incident, I have understood in my heart that darkness like me is inevitable in Konoha."
"But I also need your light."
"So, the only thing I won't do is lie to you."
"In my hand, I only have Shisui's right eye."
Danzo and Hiruzen met each other's eyes, their eyes showing unprecedented sincerity.
At the same time, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Because judging from Hiruzen's reaction, he wasn't lying either.
Shisui's left eye was indeed missing.
It didn't fall into his own hands.
It didn't fall into Hiruzen's hands either.
One can imagine who took away Shisui's left eye.
It's an Uchiha.
Fugaku, Zefeng, and that Itachi may all be the beneficiaries of this incident.
Especially that Japanese style.
He is not as weak as Fugaku.
He also doesn't have the will of fire like Itachi.
Not to mention his sharp edge, he is also a lightning escape genius.
Regardless of whether he got Shisui's eyes or not, this person must not be kept.
For a moment, Danzo couldn't help but have the idea of taking action against Zefeng.
Hiruzen fell into silence.
His brain was working rapidly, trying to connect the various clues together.
Danzo is indeed a dark person, but his loyalty to Konoha is no less than his own.
There was really no need for him to lie about such a big deal.
So……
Who took away Shisui's left eye?
"Even if Shisui only has his left eye left, he is still an excellent ninja. If the opponent is not strong enough, he is fully capable of escaping..."
Hiruzen thought to himself.
And he could do it at Nanga Shrine without being noticed by the Uchiha clan.
There is really only the Uchiha clan.
In addition, the qualification is that the strength is not lower than Shisui.
Most people can be ruled out directly.
Only Fugaku, Itachi, and the newly promoted Jonin Kazuo were left.
"Itachi is close to Shisui, and he has the mind of Hokage. There is no reason for him to take action against Shisui."
"Fugaku? As the leader of the clan, he has always trusted Shisui."
"Ze Feng, it doesn't feel possible."
After thinking about it, Hiruzen felt that the possibility of these three people was not very high.
Finally he took a deep breath.
"Danzo, do you remember the masked man who caused the Nine-Tails turmoil five years ago?"
Hiruzen spoke slowly and brought up the past.
The masked man not only possesses the Sharingan, but also knows Konoha's barriers well and can come and go at will.
According to what Namikaze Minato said before he died, the man wearing the mask was most likely Uchiha Madara!
"You mean Madara?" Danzo raised his eyebrows, "It's not impossible..."
Back then, he even knew everything about Kushina's delivery.
It shows that he has strong intelligence gathering ability.
It's not a fantasy to seize the opportunity this time and close Shisui's eyes.
Danzo just couldn't figure out what Madara wanted to do with Shisui's eyes?
Regarding Susanoo, Madara should be stronger than Shisui.
Is it possible that there are other secrets hidden in Shisui's eyes?
"In short, we must find out the whereabouts of Shisui's left eye as soon as possible." Hiruzen thought for a moment.
"Until the truth comes out, you'd better not show your face in front of others."
Although Danzo acted without permission this time, which made Hiruzen very angry, after understanding the details, he calmed down a lot.
Now is not the time to deal with Danzo.
Because on one side is Shisui who is already dead.
On the other side was Danzo alive.
Which one is more important, he naturally has a feeling in his mind.
If Danzo is questioned at this time, it will not only cause Konoha to lose an important combat force.
If you don't do it right, it will benefit Madara who is hiding in the dark.
"well……"
Hiruzen sighed, "For the sake of the stability of the village, if the Uchiha suffers any more, I will take the blame."
After finishing speaking, Hiruzen stopped looking at Danzo and turned around to leave the room.
"Hiruzhan..."
However, after watching Hiruzen disappear at the door, Danzo's eyes showed a trace of viciousness.
He must get Shisui's left eye.
…
After leaving the secret room, Hiruzen went straight to his office without stopping at all.
Koharu, Mito Kadoyan, and Uchiha Fugaku are all waiting here now.
"Hokage-sama."
As soon as he saw Hiruzen coming back, Fugaku immediately stood up from his chair and greeted him respectfully.
I hope he can make the decision for the Uchiha clan regarding Shisui's death.
"I have already met with Danzo."
Hiruzen spoke slowly while returning to his position as Hokage.
Fugaku frowned and waited quietly for the next step.
"Danzo confessed to what he did. He really wanted to seize Shisui's Sharingan, but failed..."
"Not only did Shisui escape, he also used genjutsu to control Danzo."
"In order to obtain Shisui's Sharingan, Danzo's people took advantage of the situation and launched a hunt for Shisui."
Hiruzen slightly changed the version Danzo said.
"But when we saw Shisui, his Sharingan was dug out." Fugaku vaguely felt that Hiruzen's words meant to excuse Danzo, and he quickly emphasized this matter.
"Is there a possibility that there are others who took advantage of Danzo, killed people with blind eyes, and pointed the finger at Danzo?" Hiruzen analyzed.
"Absolutely impossible."
Seeing Hiruzen's partiality revealed, Fugaku suddenly became anxious, "The place where Shisui was killed was near Nanga Shrine. There is a barrier for our clan there, except for the Uchiha clan."
"Anyone who comes near there will be sensed by us."
"But the only people who entered that area were those ninjas from the Root Organization."
In Fugaku's view, it was probably the root ninjas who had captured Shisui's eyes and handed them over to Danzo in other ways.
"Boundary?" Hiruzen nodded, "Indeed, except for the Uchiha clan, everyone else will be discovered immediately once they get close to it."
"But Fugaku, have you forgotten the masked man from five years ago?"
"He also entered Konoha without anyone noticing."
Fugaku will never forget what happened five years ago in his life.
It was precisely because of that masked man that their family was driven to the edge of the village.
Now that the old things were brought up again, Fugaku was left speechless for a moment.
Not that he was talking about the masked man.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude was obviously trying to excuse Danzo!
He didn't know what Hiruzen and Danzo said.
But I already understood in my heart.
The Hokage in front of him no longer intends to question Danzo.
only……
In order to prevent the Uchiha clan from causing any trouble again, Hiruzen did not bite the masked man to death.
"However, these are all my personal speculations. As for the truth and the whereabouts of Shisui Sharingan."
"It still needs to be investigated thoroughly before we can make a decision."
"Fugaku, since you are the leader of the Uchiha clan and the captain of the police force, I leave this matter entirely to you."
Hiruzen said softly, "As for Shisui and the bodies of those ninjas, please leave them to the ANBU for now."
Logically speaking, the Konoha Guards have limited powers and are usually not qualified to interfere in ANBU matters.
But in order not to intensify the conflict between Uchiha and the village.
Hiruzen thought it would be better to let Fugaku take charge.
