"Shisui has only recently joined the Anbu and is still undergoing special training. There are no missions scheduled for him at the moment."
"That's good, it'll be perfect for me to borrow it for a while."
Akira Hatake's blunt words made Sakumo Hatake raise an eyebrow, feeling slightly annoyed.
"My secret service finally found a promising talent, and you want to leave without giving me a reason? There's no such thing as an easy life."
Even close brothers should keep clear accounts, and the same applies to fathers and sons.
In matters of official business, Hatake Sakumo is absolutely meticulous. He would never bend the law for personal gain, and even if Hatake Akira wanted to get in through his connections, he wouldn't be allowed to.
"It's about my plan. The Akatsuki is short-handed right now, so they have to borrow Uchiha Shisui, who has great potential and strength, from you."
"Furthermore, Uchiha Shisui has not carried out any missions so far, so the possibility of him being exposed is very small. In this way, we can distance ourselves from his relationship with Konoha as much as possible."
"This one……"
Upon hearing Akira Hatake's plan, Sakumo Hatake felt much more at ease. "I have no objection, but you have to ask the person in charge if they agree."
"Of course, if Shisui doesn't agree, I certainly won't force him."
Akira Hatake nodded, and soon after, Sakumo Hatake sent someone to bring Shisui Uchiha to him.
"Sakumo-sama."
"Lord Ming."
Uchiha Shisui bowed respectfully to the father and son, straightened up, and stood very seriously opposite them.
“Great, he’s the person I need.”
Akira Hatake was very satisfied with Shisui Uchiha. He walked in and looked him up and down, his gaze finally settling on Shisui's eyes.
"Shisui, tell me, how many tomoe have you awakened in your Sharingan?"
"It's already at the three-tomoe level." Uchiha Shisui had some doubts, but he still answered Hatake Akira's question truthfully.
"The Uchiha clan has produced quite a few geniuses in recent generations!"
Akira Hatake sighed, then looked at Shisui Uchiha very seriously, "So... do you want the Mangekyou Sharingan?"
"..."
Uchiha Shisui was a little stunned, his mind not quite keeping up with Hatake Akira.
Is communication between people this direct nowadays?
But after considering it for two or three seconds, Uchiha Shisui nodded, "I think so!"
Almost all members of the Uchiha clan have zero resistance to the Mangekyou Sharingan, and Uchiha Shisui was no exception.
"it is good!"
Akira Hatake patted Shisui Uchiha on the shoulder. "You have talent, strength, ambition, and a strong sense of responsibility. This mission is perfect for you."
Hearing Akira Hatake's praise, Shisui Uchiha's eyes lit up.
After the Uchiha clan reconciled with the Konoha leadership, all the Uchiha clan members were deeply grateful to Akira Hatake.
Even if it's not that serious, I wouldn't hold any grudge against Akira Hatake.
Furthermore, influenced by Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha also longed to enter Akira Hatake's field of vision so that he could contribute to the prosperity and strength of Konoha.
Uchiha Shisui was able to join the Anbu because of this mindset.
It's easy to see from the original timeline that Uchiha Shisui was absolutely blindly loyal to Konoha, willing to turn against his own clan to protect the village's interests.
While it might be an exaggeration to say that, judging from what Uchiha Shisui did, in his heart, Konoha was definitely more important than the Uchiha clan.
Akira Hatake was actually somewhat resistant to using Uchiha Shisui's ideas, since what he had Uchiha Shisui do was something that couldn't be done in the open.
Moreover, even if it were discovered, Akira Hatake and all the Konoha high-ranking officials would never admit it, and in serious cases, they might even list Shisui Uchiha as a rogue ninja.
Therefore, Akira Hatake must provide Shisui Uchiha with some compensation, and he must do so in a way that is worthy of Shisui's sacrifices.
"Lord Ming, I have always wanted to contribute to the prosperity of the village. Please feel free to make arrangements if needed!"
Uchiha Shisui was somewhat excited. He hadn't carried out a mission since joining the Anbu, and now that a mission had come his way, he was naturally eager to get started.
"Yes, it's good that you have this intention, but I need to make all the pros and cons clear to you."
Akira Hatake never hides anything from people; he always prioritizes mutual consent.
You give, and I will compensate you in other ways. Don't speak ill of me; it's only right that I use you.
In short, this is Akira Hatake's style of doing things, and it can be considered upright and honest.
"After you accept my mission, you will be away from the village for a long time. The exact time is uncertain and depends on the progress of the mission."
"Furthermore, when you are on a mission, your original identity will be automatically relinquished, and the village will issue you a death certificate."
"In other words, once you accept this mission, until the mission is completed, whether you live or die, Konoha will no longer recognize your identity."
"Of course, as compensation, I will give you a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, and if you use them sparingly, you don't have to worry about the risk of going blind."
"In addition to compensation for your abilities, you will receive due compensation after the mission is completed, including mid-level positions in the village that you can choose freely."
"These are basically the advantages and disadvantages. Think it over carefully and decide whether you want to take on this task."
"This is a secret mission. There will be no record of it in the village's documents. The only people who know that you are going out on a mission are me, my father, and the Hokage."
Akira Hatake reiterated this point before patting Shisui Uchiha on the shoulder, "Think it over carefully, don't rush to answer."
"Lord Ming, no need to think about it anymore, I'll take this mission!"
Uchiha Shisui agreed without hesitation, and Hatake Akira was not surprised by it.
Uchiha Shisui had a giving personality; the village's interests came first. Even without rewards or compensation, if Akira Hatake or the higher-ups of Konoha made a request, Uchiha Shisui would do his utmost to carry it out.
Now, Akira Hatake not only told Shisui Uchiha about all the advantages and disadvantages besides the mission details, but also repeatedly emphasized them, leaving Shisui with no reason to refuse.
Whether you say it's Akira Hatake attacking people's minds or that he exploited Shisui Uchiha's psychology, it's a matter of mutual consent, and no one can really say anything about the other.
"Very well, then come with me."
Akira Hatake turned to look at Sakumo Hatake again, "Father, I'm taking Shisui with me. Don't forget his records and death certificate."
"And remember, you must make it as convincing as possible, preferably even keeping it from the Uchiha clan, otherwise it will be difficult for me."
"Alright, brat, I know, there won't be any problems!"
With Sakumo Hatake's assurance, Akira Hatake didn't stand on ceremony with him and left the Anbu base with Shisui Uchiha.
Orochimaru's testing ground.
"Shisui, that's all for your task. If you don't understand anything, ask me now."
Akira Hatake had already explained to Shisui Uchiha the mission he was to carry out.
Uchiha Shisui, too, had lost his previous restlessness and remained silent.
After a moment of silence, Uchiha Shisui raised his head and looked at Hatake Akira very seriously. "Lord Akira, during my missions, do I have to kill a lot of innocent people?"
"As long as you can achieve your goal, you can choose not to kill innocent people."
"But what if it's unavoidable?" Uchiha Shisui asked with a wry smile. "What if..."
"That's up to you." Hatake Akira couldn't guarantee anything for Uchiha Shisui either. "You just need to know that although what you did was dark, it was a great deed for generations to come. After the ninja world is at peace, your descendants will thank you."
"Lord Ming, I believe you."
Uchiha Shisui's eyes suddenly sharpened. "For the village, for the entire ninja world, I will complete my mission!"
"I also believe you won't let me down."
Akira Hatake patted Shisui Uchiha on the shoulder again, then led him straight to Orochimaru's laboratory.
"Oh? Uchiha Shisui?"
Orochimaru saw Uchiha Shisui following behind Hatake Akira and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Akira, you really have a big budget!"
"It's nothing special, just for the sake of peace in the ninja world."
"Ha, I wonder when, the man known as the God of War who single-handedly took down most of the combined forces of Kazuya and Fudo, Akira Hatake would have such lofty ambitions."
Orochimaru was probably still angry about Akira Hatake abducting Kimimaro Kaguya, which is why he was acting strangely.
"Alright, Orochimaru, I'm all ready. I wonder if you're ready too."
Akira Hatake, too lazy to argue with Orochimaru, ignored him and went straight to the point.
"The necessary materials have been prepared."
Orochimaru stopped there, nodding to Akira Hatake, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Kimimaro and Shisui Uchiha. "I wonder which of the two will start first?"
"There's a difference between first and last?"
"There's only one available culture tank, so we have to do it one at a time."
Orochimaru explained the reason, and Akira Hatake also fell into thought.
After a moment, Akira Hatake made a decision. "Shisui, you go first."
"Yes, Master Ming!"
Uchiha Shisui did not resist and stepped forward to Orochimaru's side.
Following Orochimaru's instructions, Uchiha Shisui stripped naked and entered the culture tank, where Orochimaru then injected a lot of strange liquids.
Akira didn't ask these questions, and even if he had, he probably would have been completely baffled.
Since Orochimaru doesn't need Akira Hatake for the time being, Akira Hatake naturally turned his attention to Kimimaro Kaguya.
"Kimimaro, how are you feeling about your illness?"
"Lord Ming, I am in good health and can still fight with all my might!"
"What I mean is, are there any signs that your symptoms are getting worse?"
"Lord Ming, my illness... really doesn't affect my fighting ability..."
Kaguya Kimimaro's reason for existence was to become a tool in the hands of others, to fight for her master until her death.
So no matter how Akira Hatake asked, Kimimaro's answer was always the same, which left Akira quite helpless.
Akira Hatake always wanted to correct these problem children whenever he encountered them, but now was not the time, so he had to suppress his feelings.
"In that case, let me take this opportunity to see your current physical limits."
