Chapter 118 Shisui’s suicide note!
The bells in the ancestral hall rang on time.
This is a sign of a clan meeting, which is usually held once a week, but it has already been held this week, and the ringing again proves that something has happened.
Uchiha Itachi left the team and headed for the ancestral hall. Those who could enter the ancestral hall for meetings were not ordinary people, but people with some status in the clan.
Seeing that it was already full of people, Uchiha Itachi quickly walked to his seat and sat down. He was in an upper-middle position, which was equivalent to the existence of a high-level person. The empty seat next to him, Uchiha Shisui, was currently the youngest of senior management, but now I’m the only one left.
"Clan leader, Uchiha Shisui has been missing for nine days. We found this suicide note when we were looking for him at his home."
"what!"
Uchiha Fugaku stood up from his seat in shock.
People who heard the news started talking, and Uchiha Itachi gritted his teeth to face the news.
After receiving Uchiha Shisui's suicide note, Uchiha Fugaku looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a while to make sure that he had not missed all the information in it, he said, "What on earth is going on? Shisui's character is not like someone who would commit suicide easily in a suicide note." People, and the bodies disappeared without a trace.”
Should the truth about Shisui's death be revealed? Forget it, this will lead to something worse.
An Uchiha tribesman sitting in the corner stood up and pointed at Uchiha Itachi and said loudly, "Uchiha Itachi had left the village on the day Uchiha Shisui disappeared, and there were Genbu who followed him out of the village, and it seemed that the Genbu people had also been looking for him. Uchiha Shisui.”
Being beaten down and rake.
Frowning, Uchiha Itachi looked at this Uchiha tribesman whom he didn't know at all. He didn't expect that Danzo had already extended his minions into the Uchiha. As expected, things are unpredictable.
"Someone attacked me that day." Naturally, he was unhappy about being framed, and even more unhappy about being framed for killing Shisui. He crossed his arms and gritted his teeth and said, "So I chased that person out of the village, and then I found a root chasing me. Konoha and I Everyone knows about the high-level affairs, so it goes without saying what the purpose of the roots is. I killed the group of roots and continued to chase the people who attacked me, but in the end I still didn’t catch them.”
At first, everyone had some doubts, but after listening to Uchiha Itachi's words, they remembered that he had a higher hatred for Konoha's senior officials than everyone here. Although the rest of the matter was not explained, it didn't matter.
He stood up from his seat, took out a kunai from his bag, walked towards the man, pointed the kunai at him and said, "Who are you? Why are you sowing trouble among the Uchiha? I will only be discovered when I leave the village through the detectives of the sealing class." , and why do you understand it so clearly? It seems that you only appeared in the clan today, right?"
Frightened by Uchiha Itachi's angry voice, the kunai with cold light made him swallow a mouthful of saliva, and he rolled and crawled away from Uchiha Itachi.
"Ahhh! Aren't we from the tribe? Why are you like this?"
Looking at Uchiha Itachi's back and the Uchiha tribesmen who were constantly talking around him, Uchiha Fugaku frowned, "Quiet! Even if you have serious doubts, Itachi, you can't take action against your tribe. I know Shisui is your best friend. This If you are not suitable to handle this incident, please avoid it for now."
"But……"
"Get out!"
Finally, with a resentful look at the Uchiha clansman, Uchiha Itachi bowed respectfully to Uchiha Fugaku, "Yes, I'm rude."
Looking at Uchiha Itachi walking out of the door, Uchiha Fugaku had mixed feelings in his heart. Is this child probably unable to accept the news of Shisui's death?
"We need to investigate quickly about Uchiha Shisui..."
…………
……
Sitting on the high steps of the ancestral hall, looking at the blue sky with a depressed mood, all of this is developing according to Shisui's words. I hope that the final result will not be a bad result.
……
"What happened during the day today?"
"Have you dealt with that person?"
Picking up the tea cup, Uchiha Fugaku took a sip and said, "After investigation, it is an Uchiha war orphan adopted by Genbu. After passing the genjutsu review, they recently transferred a human to be placed among the Uchihas."
"Hey, this..." Uchiha Itachi thought of something and was silent for a moment. "Although I really don't want to say it, there is a reason for Shisui's death. I just happened to witness his death when I left the village."
The tea cup that was just about to be put down was squeezed tightly by Uchiha Fugaku, but then he let it go.
"He was blindly attacked by Danzo and chased by roots. He was the one who attacked me. I followed him all the way out of the village to deal with the chasing roots, but in the end... Shisui committed suicide by jumping off a cliff and falling into the river. Even the body was nowhere to be found.”
"Why did he commit suicide?"
He showed a helpless smile and said, "He said he was tired."
"This matter has been forgotten from now on. Uchiha cannot go to war with Konoha now. The surrounding villages are watching with eager eyes. Uchiha cannot guarantee that he can fight against other villages after winning. The child Shisui sacrificed for his family and the village. A lot." He stood up with his hands behind his back and looked at the emblem of the Uchiha clan. "Why do we Uchiha have people who understand Konoha, but Konoha...why don't we have people who understand Uchiha?"
I lowered my head and remained silent. I had never thought about many of the things my father said. Those...
"Have you opened your eyes?"
"Ah."
Without saying anything else, Uchiha Fugaku's wry smile came and he slowly walked out of the door...
