Naruto: I can decompose everything
Chapter 40 Itachi's Rescue, Kakashi Takes the Blame
Kaleidoscope Sharingan?
These six words struck the center of the council hall like a thunderbolt, causing even Fugaku's pupils to suddenly contract.
In an instant, everyone except a few who had never heard of the kaleidoscope legend was shocked.
Only Uchiha Hazuki, standing to the side, was completely bewildered, her almond-shaped eyes filled with confusion. She quietly tugged at Uchiha Rin's sleeve and asked in a low voice:
"Rin, what is the Mangekyou Sharingan? Why is everyone so shocked?"
She only returned to her clan's territory a few months ago, and she only has a two-tomoe Sharingan, so she doesn't know anything about the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Rin quietly explained to her, "After the Sharingan awakens, it is divided into four levels: one tomoe, two tomoe, three tomoe, and then the Mangekyou Sharingan... Legend has it that above these is the even stronger Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, whose user, Uchiha Madara, was a powerful being comparable to the God of Shinobi, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama!"
There is also the Rinnegan, which, strictly speaking, is also an advanced form of the Sharingan.
However, he wasn't foolish enough to say such things aloud.
But clearly, he was overthinking it.
Upon hearing this, the other person's first reaction was: "The God of Shinobi? The First Hokage? Is he stronger than the Third Hokage? Wasn't the Third Hokage supposed to be the strongest Hokage?"
Uchiha Rin:? ? ?
He fell silent instantly, staring into her clear yet foolish eyes, unable to tell whether she was deliberately making a joke or had been completely brainwashed by Konoha's propaganda and genuinely believed it.
After hesitating for a moment, he was too lazy to explain the complicated power system, so he simply nodded perfunctorily: "Yeah, about the same level of power, comparable to the Third Hokage."
"I see!" Hazuki's face immediately lit up with envy, her tone full of longing. "The Eternal Kaleidoscope you mentioned is amazing! To be compared to the Third Hokage!"
Uchiha Rin: "..."
He felt that he and Uchiha Hazuki were talking in secret at this moment, otherwise if others heard them, they would probably rush over and beat them up on the spot.
Fortunately, she was clearly the only one who didn't understand the true value of a kaleidoscope.
After the initial shock, the surrounding tribesmen's emotions shifted from worry to excitement.
For the proud Uchiha, the words "Mangekyou" were enough to ignite their fighting spirit. As for who the murderer was and whether it would bring trouble upon them, their fervor for the ultimate eye technique was temporarily suppressed.
Uchiha Shisui took in everyone's reactions, feeling a little heavy-hearted.
The reason he had kept the fact that he had activated the kaleidoscope was because he had anticipated that his people would be like this.
This group of clansmen, who are inherently superior because of their Sharingan, have no idea about the costs and limitations behind the Mangekyou Sharingan.
After the Third Shinobi World War, he reviewed the clan's history and thus clearly understood that even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, he was still insignificant in the face of the overall power of Konoha's leadership. The so-called ultimate eye technique was by no means truly invincible.
But he couldn't say these words, and no one would believe him. Only those who had personally controlled this power could understand the helplessness within.
If it weren't for the need to uncover the truth and prove that the attack on Root was unrelated to the Uchiha clan, he wouldn't have insisted on bringing up the topic of the Mangekyou Sharingan at the clan meeting, despite the Third Hokage's advice.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Shisui suppressed his thoughts, raised his eyes again, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife.
Once again, they locked onto the main seat, where Uchiha Fugaku was positioned.
At that moment, Fugaku also pulled himself out of his reverie, his deep eyes meeting Shisui's gaze, and the oppressive aura around him grew even heavier.
He paused for a moment, then his deep voice broke the silence: "Kaleidoscope? Why would you ask that...?"
"Because I found traces of Susanoo at the location where the Root organization was attacked..."
Uchiha Shisui said calmly.
His tone was calm, yet every word struck like a hammer blow to everyone's heart.
In an instant, the Uchiha clan members became even more excited.
Susanoo! That is the signature ability of the Mangekyou Sharingan, an ultimate offensive and defensive armor formed by chakra, whose power or reputation even far surpasses that of the Sharingan itself.
Shisui's words are tantamount to directly confirming that the murderer possesses a kaleidoscope!
In an instant, the clansmen's eyes all turned to Fugaku again, a mixture of doubt, excitement, and curiosity, and something called ambition began to grow in their hearts.
There was not a trace of fear about an attack on the roots; there was only excitement.
Even the hawkish and dove elders on the sidelines were looking at Uchiha Fugaku with burning eyes.
Unfortunately, facing the intense gazes of the crowd, Fugaku Uchiha slowly shook his head, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable certainty:
"It wasn't me, and I don't know who the person with the Mangekyou Sharingan is... Perhaps you should consider investigating the Nine-Tails Night and who caused the Nine-Tails to go berserk."
"Night of the Nine-Tails?" Uchiha Shisui was taken aback.
Fugaku Uchiha nodded, looking at him meaningfully: "Although most of the clan members stayed within the clan compound that night, a small number were out on a mission. They might be those who secretly possess the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan... And only someone with that level of eye power could possibly control the Nine-Tails. Rather than doubting me, investigating the truth behind the Nine-Tails' night might be more effective in finding the real culprit behind the attack on Root... Besides, how did you know about the traces of Susanoo's power?"
In an instant, the entire room fell silent, and then everyone turned their gaze to Uchiha Shisui.
The reason is simple...
In the entire clan, there seems to be only one person who didn't return that day, yet might possess the Mangekyou Sharingan.
That was Uchiha Shisui himself!
As a direct descendant of the Second Hokage, and also someone the Third Hokage currently trusts.
On the night of the Nine-Tails' attack, he was indeed not in the Uchiha clan's territory, but was sent by them to another country to carry out some secret missions.
And what's worse is...
He knew perfectly well that he truly possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan!
And, most importantly, that last sentence...
If you don't possess the power of Susanoo, how do you know that it's a trace of Susanoo's power?
These words struck Uchiha Shisui's heart like a resounding bell.
Although he appeared at the Root site with the Third Hokage that day and was not suspected of committing the crime, he still hadn't told the Third Hokage the truth about how he had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.
So, if Fugaku Uchiha could guess the truth, could the Third Hokage guess it too?
In that instant, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Uchiha Rin, who was not far away, stared in disbelief, thinking to herself, "Wonderful!"
"Holy crap, is Fugaku Uchiha's political acumen really that impressive? He actually managed to turn the situation around like this? I was wrong, this guy is just weak-willed, but when it comes to methods, he's definitely much better than a young upstart like Shisui!"
Thinking this, he then followed the example of the other Uchiha clan members and stared at Uchiha Shisui.
For a moment, Uchiha Shisui felt extremely uneasy.
Ultimately, putting aside his immense strength, he was just an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. Although he possessed extremely powerful strength, he was lacking in other aspects.
How can one withstand this kind of pressure?
But just then, Itachi Uchiha suddenly spoke up: "It wasn't Shisui-nii. He was on a mission outside the village during that time, not in the village... He has an alibi..."
"Furthermore, based on my investigation over this period, besides our Uchiha clan members, there seems to be another person who possesses the Sharingan, has a grudge against Danzo, and was able to approach the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki during that time period..."
"Hmm?" Rin Uchiha looked up.
"Hmm?" Uchiha Shisui looked up.
"Hmm?" Fugaku Uchiha looked up.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Uchiha Itachi, watching him utter a name.
"Kakashi Hatake..."
