Shisui said firmly, "With my Mangekyou Sharingan."
The group was shocked to hear this, as they were unaware that Shisui had already activated the Kaleidoscope.
A hint of shock flashed in the Third Generation's eyes: "Do you know the consequences of doing this? You will be accused of using illusion magic against your own people."
Shisui said earnestly, "I understand, but I am prepared to do this for the sake of those I want to protect. I'm counting on you, Third Hokage."
He gave Zhishui a deep look: "In that case, I won't stop you. Go ahead and do it."
Zhi Shui bowed his head and said excitedly, "Thank you so much!"
The Third Hokage continued, "But before things become irreversible, you can still back out. You still have time to think about whether there are other options. Shisui, what do you say?"
He remained silent, while Danzo turned and stared intently at him, as if trying to see into his soul.
Itachi watched this scene from the side, then turned to Iori with a happy expression and said to him, "You see, the Third Hokage is indeed a good person. Even when we wanted to stage a coup, he still wanted to protect us."
Iori sneered, "You're getting ahead of yourself. Besides, being reliable in words and being reliable in practice are two different things. Let's go, let's continue."
As Iori spoke, time moved forward to evening, and the two appeared in a forest.
Shisui stood on a tree, gazing at the distant Uchiha clan territory, lost in thought.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound broke the silence as several kunai flew in from the shadows. Shisui activated his Sharingan, his figure blurring as he swiftly dodged the attack.
As soon as they landed at their destination, several ninjas attacked from the darkness. Shisui reacted quickly and repelled the enemies.
Seeing the enemy constantly attacking, Shisui felt that he should change locations and not stay in the same place.
After fending off the enemy, he quickly ran away from the forest.
"Is this the Anbu? Did one of our own people actually attack Shisui? Damn it, they say one thing and do another!"
Itachi angrily slammed his fist against a nearby tree, only to find that his hand passed right through it.
Iori didn't take the opportunity to smear Danzo, but objectively said, "This is Danzo's root. Although the Third Hokage also bears some responsibility, he is not primarily responsible."
Shisui landed in the open space outside, looked at the masked figures, and said, "So you really are from Root? Then who is the mastermind behind this...?"
"Such swift movements, no wonder you are called Shizuru-sama."
A voice came from the woods, and as the voice drew closer, a man emerged from the shadows—it was Shimura Danzo, the Hokage's assistant.
"Danzo, what are you planning? Why are you interfering with me!" he said angrily.
"Able to infiltrate the mind of an opponent and create illusions that feel like reality... Kotoamatsukami, you actually intend to use such a precious power to stop a coup?"
"I never expected that the descendants of the Uchiha clan would not know the true use of the Sharingan."
"Even if you suppress them with your eye techniques, as long as the Uchiha clan still exists, the village's suspicion of their coup will not be eliminated. Even if you achieve temporary success, it will only be temporary."
"It's only a matter of time before the village and the Uchiha clan become enemies. In that case, let's take this opportunity to wipe out the entire Uchiha clan. Isn't that for the good of everyone in the village?"
Danzo said slowly.
Iori turned to look at Itachi and, noticing he was deep in thought, patted his head, signaling him to continue reading.
"Danzo, you've been planning this from the very beginning..." Shisui said angrily.
Danzo looked up at the sky, as if remembering the deceased Uchiha Kagami, but then said seriously, "This is also for Konoha. Don't worry, I will make effective use of your Sharingan."
He charged forward, forcing Shisui to fight back. Because this place was too close to the Uchiha clan's territory, Shisui dared not go all out. If he were discovered, it could very likely trigger an early coup.
After several rounds of hesitant and restrictive fighting, the two began to pant. Danzo, seeing that he could not defeat Shisui by himself, waved his hand and ordered the Root ninjas to launch a siege.
After being distracted by the Root ninjas, Shisui was caught off guard and Danzo got close to him.
"Watch out!" Itachi shouted from the side, but he couldn't touch anyone and could only watch everything happen.
Seeing Danzo approach, Shisui glared at him and used genjutsu to control him. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he did not expect that under Danzo's bandages was a three-tomoe Sharingan.
He used Izanagi, and in the instant Shisui relaxed his guard, he took away Shisui's right eye. Shisui, in pain, retreated and knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.
Danzo arrogantly said, "Give me your other eye as well!"
Seeing that things were going badly, Shisui threw a smoke bomb to the ground. Smoke billowed up, blinding everyone. When the smoke cleared, Shisui had disappeared.
Upon seeing this, he shouted, "Quickly, after him! He's so badly injured, he can't have gone far!"
"Yes!" The Root ninja accepted the order and quickly gave chase.
Deep in the forest, the Root ninjas caught up with Shisui. Severely injured, Shisui was caught off guard and inhaled several puffs of poisonous smoke, leaving him kneeling on the ground, unable to move.
The Root ninjas surrounded him, and the leader said, "Don't attack his face, attack his feet."
"I still have things to do!" Shisui struggled, his eyes turning into kaleidoscope shapes, and a green giant blocked the attack for him.
A series of chakra arrows shot out from Susanoo's chest, killing several ninjas, but Shisui also lost his power, and the giant dispersed after a tremor.
Itachi watched helplessly as this unfolded; he was powerless to intervene and could only feel anger rising within him towards Danzo.
The Root ninjas surrounded him, intending to take Shisui away.
At that moment, several fire dragons flew in and killed the people in front of them. The future Uchiha Itachi, carrying Shisui, landed on a nearby tree.
"Don't you still have a mission?" Shisui asked weakly.
“I had a bad feeling, so I sped back,” Future Itachi replied.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble," Shisui forced a smile.
Chapter 132 Live-streaming the Uchiha Clan Massacre to Itachi (The End)
Future Itachi and Shisui arrived at the Naka River. Shisui said to Future Itachi, "It seems that the Uchiha clan's coup is unstoppable because of the interference of the Root people."
“If a civil war breaks out like this, foreign countries will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and war will be inevitable. Just when I was thinking of using Kotoamatsukami to stop the coup, Danzo stole my right eye.”
"He doesn't trust me at all. He stole my right eye and probably wants my left eye too. Before he takes it from me, I'll give it to you."
"You're the only one I can trust. Please protect the honor of the Uchiha clan and the village!"
Shisui handed his left eye to Future Itachi.
"What I'm going to give you isn't just my left eye, but also the Mangekyou Sharingan!" Shisui said calmly.
Both Itachi and Itachi looked at him in great shock.
"Anyway, I won't live much longer, so consider this my final gift. I'll leave the rest to you."
After Shisui finished speaking, he fell towards the Nanga River. The river instantly swallowed his figure, leaving only ripples spreading on the surface of the water.
Seeing this, Future Itachi's eyes revealed a kaleidoscope.
Itachi watched this scene in silence, his heart filled with complex emotions. He asked Iori, "Is this what you wanted me to see? I understand, Shimura Danzo, he must die."
Iori gave him a strange look, thinking to herself, "This is just the beginning; the main event hasn't even started yet."
He fast-forwarded through time. Two whole years had passed between Shisui's death and the night of the clan's massacre, and he had no interest in watching it slowly with Itachi.
However, out of a wicked sense of humor, he kept a lot of the parent-child interactions between Itachi, Fugaku, and Mikoto. Itachi was a little confused, but thought it was normal and didn't question it.
With Shisui's death, the Uchiha clan lost a top fighter, and the pendulum of the coup was temporarily put on hold.
In the future, Itachi tries to mend the rift between his clan and the village, but he is like a headless fly, completely outmaneuvered by the Third Hokage and Danzo.
From a third-person perspective, Itachi finally understood how foolish his future self was; he was easily manipulated by others, like a puppet on a string.
"How are you feeling now?" Iori asked leisurely.
"Even the Third Hokage can't be trusted!" Itachi replied angrily. Looking at his future self constantly getting caught up in missions, while the higher-ups never truly trusted him, he finally understood their true colors.
The Third Hokage may have said nice things, but he couldn't control Danzo's actions at all. Under Danzo's instigation, the relationship between the Uchiha and the village became increasingly tense.
On the eve of the clan's decision to launch a coup, Fugaku, as a father, asked Itachi in the future for help, but Itachi in the future appeared indifferent and heartless.
He reported the intelligence about the impending coup by the Uchiha to the Konoha leadership. Among the leaders present, only the Third Hokage insisted on resolving the issue through peaceful negotiations.
Faced with this situation, under the influence of Uchiha Madara, he joined forces with Madara on the condition that he would not attack the village or Sasuke, and together they destroyed the Uchiha clan.
This scene enraged Itachi to the extreme. His eyes turned bloodshot with anger. Why was his future self so foolish? Did this choice really align with Shisui's wishes?
Looking at Itachi's current state, Iori just thought the breakdown therapy was really effective. If Itachi could still believe the Konoha higher-ups after he got out, Iori had no choice but to send him away ahead of time.
However, Itachi's anger could not interfere with the future trajectory. He could only watch as "Madara" and his future self joined forces to slaughter his clan.
The old, children, women, and babies were all killed without exception. Whether they were ninjas or civilians, as long as they were Uchiha, they were all killed.
Itachi looked at his future self, his hands covered in blood, and was unable to say anything more.
Until he saw his future self walking towards his home.
Fugaku and Mikoto sat on the cushion with their backs to Itachi in the future.
Fugaku said, "I don't want to kill my own son. Promise me, I'm entrusting Sasuke to you."
Itachi could no longer bear it all. He roared and charged forward, but he could never touch his future self.
The future Itachi hesitated for a moment, and tears slowly streamed down his face.
Looking at his hesitant son, Fugaku calmly said, "This is the path you have chosen. Compared to you, our pain is only momentary. Even if we have different ideas, I am still proud of you."
Seeing his future self kill his parents with two blows, Itachi's eyes widened in fury, and he was beyond furious.
Time seemed to stand still as Iori walked up to him and asked, "How are you feeling now?"
Itachi calmed down a bit and seriously considered the logic of his future self within the illusion. Then, he realized with despair that this was indeed something he would do.
He knelt down helplessly, feeling all his strength drain away: "Am I really such a fool and scumbag? I didn't even spare a child of a few years old and my own parents."
Iori squatted down and looked at him, saying, "Nothing has happened yet, it's not too late to change things now."
Itachi nodded silently. He had received so much information today that he still couldn't process it all.
After Iori canceled the illusion, the world slowly began to crumble. Itachi continued to ponder in silence, suffering greatly.
Back in reality, Iori greeted him and then left alone.
Itachi slowly walked out of the base, stepping on the stone-paved streets of the Uchiha district, heading towards his familiar home.
The streetlights flickered on both sides of the street, and the noise of pedestrians rose and fell, but all of this seemed so distant to Itachi's ears.
A sudden, indescribable fear surged within him, and the image of the civilians lying in pools of blood in the illusion seemed to reappear before his eyes.
Their faces gradually overlapped with those of pedestrians in reality, sending chills down his spine.
The time in the illusion is eight years later, and many people's faces already look very similar to those from back then.
