Two days later.
Shisui and his four people returned to the village; the medical team immediately took the injured companion away. If it were later, Shisui would have to go eat tomorrow.
Shisui and the other two arrived at the Hokage building to meet with the Hokage and report on the mission.
As captain, Sarutobi Shinnosuke briefly explained the entire mission and took the initiative to assume all responsibilities. Shisui also briefly recounted the battle after they separated.
However, some places have been modified and the incident is not mentioned, much less that he saved the two tails.
After hearing the report from the three people, the third generation's eyes flickered but he said nothing; no one knew what the third generation was thinking at that moment.
"Alright, I'm aware of the specific situation, Shinnosuke. This mission failed. As captain, you have an inescapable responsibility, so you must accept the punishment."
"I will accept any punishment."
Shinnosuke didn't argue or refuse; he simply accepted it calmly, which made Shisui unable to stop himself from glancing at Shinnosuke a few more times. Based on his observations on the way back, Shisui had to admit that he looked down on Shinnosuke.
As a third-generation descendant, though he didn't inherit the talents of his generation, he was still able to become an ANBU captain. He was by no means an ordinary person. The venomous snake lurking in the shadows was more terrifying than an angry bison.
Shisui was a little more cautious with Sarutobi Shinnosuke. During this mission, he and Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Shinnosuke disagreed. Along with their opposing viewpoints, the two were almost enemies, if not life-or-death enemies.
There was another enemy, the captain in charge of the ANBU. Shisui felt powerless. Could it be that beautiful people were so easily hated?
"As for the matter of ' Yama ,' you don't need to worry about that for the time being. I'll arrange for someone else to investigate his identity. No matter who he is, I won't forgive him as long as he's an enemy of Konoha !"
Upon hearing this, Shisui raised his eyebrows. If the Third Hokage 's words meant anything, he wasn't just talking about ' Yama ', he was also talking about him.
But it doesn't matter, ' Yama ' is him anyway.
The Third Generation and Sarutobi Shinnosuke never expected the curious and angry 'Saru Demon ' to be standing openly in front of them. Thinking about this, Shisui couldn't help but feel a little proud—so what if the 'Ninjutsu Professor' was fooled by him?
The third generation looked at Shisui and praised him: " Shisui, thanks to you this time. Without you, Sarutobi Shinnosuke alone wouldn't be able to handle the Two-Tails jinchuriki of Kumogakure. The responsibility for the failure of this mission lies with ANBU. It has nothing to do with you; you completed your task well, so you don't have to accept the punishment.
"Thank you, Third Generation!"
Shisui agreed and didn't delay, even though he was the one to blame, Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the other three were too weak; if they were stronger, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Shisui 's somewhat white eyeballs and asked with concern, "Are your eyes alright, Shisui ? "
"The problem is serious."
Shisui 's expression was serious, his tone full of concern.
This response left the third generation stunned. Most people would say there wasn't a big problem at the moment, that the situation was fine, etc. Shisui suddenly said, "The problem is very serious," and the third generation didn't know how to answer.
However, the third generation responded quickly, with a warm expression: "I'll ask the best medical ninja to examine you later. If you have any requests, just ask."
If it were anyone else, upon hearing this, their heart would undoubtedly swell with emotion. Lord Hokage cared deeply for him, but Shisui knew perfectly well that the concern was feigned and that the true purpose was to determine the condition of his eyes.
"Thank you, Hokage -sama, but I don't think it'll do any good. This is a side effect of the Mangekyou Sharingan. " Sharingan. The more you use it, the faster you'll lose your sight. During this period, the continuous high- "The intense battles have consumed too much of the students' power, so, Hokage -sama, I would like to request a period of rest."
Shisui did not object and graciously accepted. First, it was a publicly funded inspection. It was a unique opportunity that could not be wasted. Second, it was also to reassure the third generation, to appropriately show weakness, and to reduce their concern and worry about him.
Shisui is very aware of his situation, he seems calm and everything returns to the stable state of the past, but in reality he is in a dangerous situation at all times.
As long as I still have the Mangekyo Even with the Sharingan, as long as he still possesses kotoamatsukami, the top leadership, headed by the Third Generation, will continue to distrust him and will not stop his actions, before the side effects of the Mangekyo The Sharingan disappears. Resolved at this stage, Shisui needs to demonstrate his ability to let the Third Generation be. One can rest assured and expect to see the image born.
The third generation nodded and said, "Alright, let's wait until you complete your training before undertaking the mission."
"Thank you, Hokage -sama!"
Shisui felt happy; with this training time he could have time to do other things.
Then, the third generation worried about Shisui for a few more words, and then Shisui left the Hokage building and took the Hokage 's court order to the hospital for a physical examination.
After Shisui left, the smile on the Third Hokage 's face gradually disappeared and was replaced by seriousness: "Is it possible that ' Yama ' is Shisui ?"
"impossible!"
Shinnosuke was convinced: "I have fought with ' Enma ' and the opponent has the limit of the Arashi bloodline. Based on this alone, it is absolutely impossible to be Shisui."
Upon hearing that Enma possesses the Lanton, the doubts in the mind of the Third Hokage disappeared; however, he possesses the Arashiden lineage, harbors resentment towards Konoha, and is not a ninja from the village of Kumogakure. So, who is the other part?
With the cooperation of Shinnosuke and two Anbu, he was able to steal the Water of Heroes and kidnap Shibuki, the leader of Takigakure Village. His strength surpasses that of a Jonin. How come you've never heard of someone so strong?
After thinking for a while, there was no response. The third generation set aside their divergent thoughts, raised their heads, looked at Shinnosuke, and said in a deep voice, "You must know what this mission represents. It will not only allow you to forge friendships in the Hidden Village, but all of this is paving the way for your future."
That light look appeared and Sarutobi Shinnosuke felt a cold expression on his face. He slowly lowered his head. In his eyes, Sarutobi Shinnosuke could read his father's deep disappointment in him.
After a pause, the third generation sighed, "Asuma has limited talents and character flaws. So far, he still wanders outside the village, serving as the so-called 'Guardian of the Twelve'."
"I've always had high hopes for you. I don't want you to just be the leader of the Sarutobi clan in the future. I hope you can become the one who inherits the Will of Fire and leads Konoha 's future."
"But you failed completely. Your performance on this mission will cause many people to lower their assessment of you. My proposal to allow you to work as a consultant can only be shelved."
"I'm sorry, Father!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke lowered his head even further. He hadn't just lost face, he'd made his father lose face with him. He'd lost almost half a year of preparation. A deep guilt and shame spread through his heart. He couldn't. He couldn't help but hate that person. ' Yama ,' he thought, 'if it weren't for him, none of this would have happened.'
And Uchiha Shisui.
The guy who disappeared at the critical moment wouldn't have allowed these things to happen if he were here.
"Don't just apologize. Reflect on why this mission failed. During this time, you must not carry out the mission. I will take care of the rest."
The third generation sighed and waved their hand to indicate to Sarutobi Shinnosuke should leave.
Upon seeing this, Sarutobi Shinnosuke could only swallow the words that were on his lips, he walked to the door in despair, unscrewed the door handle, and Shinnosuke was about to close the door, suddenly, he heard his father sigh softly in the room.
"It would be great if Shisui were from the Sarutobi clan..."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was surprised when these words echoed in his mind.
