Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

"Lord Hokage."

Uchiha Shisui looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, word by word, "I accepted Lord Danzo's mission to eliminate Chiba Soma, who is a traitor to the village."

The ninja lying on the ground, breathing no more, was Chiba Soma. The one questioning Shisui was Chiba Soma's younger brother, Chiba Shun.

Does Hiruzen Sarutobi believe it?

He certainly believed it.

But he believed it was useless.

We need to gain everyone's trust.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shisui before him, his eyes revealing no emotion whatsoever: "Shisui, hand over your quest scroll."

The water stopped flowing.

He stood still.

After he completed the mission, he handed the mission scroll to Danzo.

It was at that moment that he suddenly realized something was wrong.

But it was too late.

He couldn't possibly attack Danzo.

"Lord Hokage, he doesn't have the scroll at all!"

"That's his lie!"

"That Uchiha Shisui dared to slaughter fellow ninjas from Konoha at will!"

"Please, Lord Hokage, decide this matter!"

Chiba Shun was so emotional that his voice echoed throughout the Hokage's office.

Kakashi looked at the scene before him and asked, "Where did you find the body? And how did you know it was Shisui Uchiha's killer before Shisui confessed?"

Chiba Shun's gaze immediately fell upon Kakashi, as if Kakashi were an accomplice of Uchiha Shisui.

Chiba Shun's gaze had no offensive intent towards Kakashi; he calmly awaited Chiba Shun's reply.

"Lord Hokage, I discovered my elder brother's body at five o'clock this morning. I was on patrol outside the village at the time, and all the patrolling ninjas can testify to that!"

"As for how I discovered it was Shisui Uchiha's assassin, it was from the Uchiha clan crest left on my older brother's body!"

Chiba Shun took out a fragment of the Uchiha clan crest.

There was still blood on it.

“Last night, the Uchiha clan ninjas who were capable of killing my elder brother were either out on a mission, in the guard unit, or had not left the clan territory. Only Uchiha Shisui had the opportunity to make a move!”

Chiba Shun looked at Uchiha Shisui and sneered, "Since you say that Elder Danzo gave you this task, why don't you invite Elder Danzo to come and confront me? Do you dare, Uchiha Shisui!"

Rei Amamiya stared at Shun Chiba in surprise.

He originally thought this person was arranged by Danzo, but he didn't expect that this person was just a reckless person who wanted to seek justice for his elder brother.

Should we invite Danzo to confront him?

It seems this person truly loves his older brother.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Go and invite Elder Danzo."

The ANBU ninja nodded.

"No need to invite me."

"I am coming."

Danzo's deep voice came through.

He walked step by step into the Hokage's office, leaning on his cane.

Danzo glanced at the corpse on the ground, then looked at Shisui and asked, "Shisui, I only asked you to investigate him, why did you kill him?"

Rei Amamiya really wanted to facepalm.

Danzo would never admit to doing something like this.

If Danzo admits it, then that means...

Danzo is holding back a big move!

Chapter 279 Headshots Every Time!

Shisui looked at Danzo.

He wouldn't be surprised by anything Danzo said now.

Danzo's gaze met Shisui's, without the slightest fluctuation.

"Danzo, what do you mean by this?"

Clearly, Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't expected Danzo to admit it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had prepared for Danzo to deny it, but he didn't expect Danzo to admit that he had given the task to Shisui.

Although he only admitted to the investigation mission, he did not admit that he had Shisui kill Chiba Soma.

But this is unusual enough.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately became alert.

"Uchiha Shisui, what else do you have to say?"

Upon hearing Danzo's words, Chiba Shun immediately turned his attention back to Shisui.

He looked as if he wanted nothing more than to kill Shisui immediately to avenge his elder brother.

Danzo stood in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, his gaze also fixed on Shisui, and asked with a puzzled look, "Shisui, I'm curious, why did you disobey my orders and kill Chiba Soma?"

Danzo's words seemed to open up Chiba Shun's Ren and Du meridians.

His eyes lit up, radiating a sharp light.

"Lord Hokage!"

"I remember now!"

"When I found my older brother's body, I found this on his body!"

Chiba Shun pulled a tattered cloth from inside the clothes of Chiba Souma's corpse on the ground.

"Lord Hokage!"

Chiba Shun immediately presented the tattered cloth in his hands to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Rei Amamiya's gaze swept over Shun Chiba in front of him.

Before Chiba Shun could look up, he withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on the fabric on the table.

This tattered cloth looks like an ordinary handkerchief used for wiping things.

There was nothing on it except for bloodstains and some dirt.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the tattered cloth in front of him and handed it to the ANBU ninja beside him.

The ANBU ninja took the tattered cloth with both hands and dipped it into the water in front of everyone.

After the rag was completely soaked, the ANBU ninja lit a match and slowly heated the rag.

The blue handwriting came into Rei Amamiya's view.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also saw the contents of the above text clearly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression darkened slightly.

Rei Amamiya glanced at Danzo.

He said that it was most appropriate to entrust Danzo with the task of sowing discord between the Uchiha clan and Konoha.

Danzo worked so hard!

He spent all his time holed up in his groin, plotting how to eliminate the threat of the Uchiha clan!

The content displayed on the tattered cloth is about the Uchiha clan's plan for a coup.

This piece of cloth was taken from Chiba Soma's body, and Chiba Soma belongs to the Dark Division.

It was an open secret that the village's higher-ups had sent ANBU ninjas to monitor the Uchiha clan.

Now, Chiba Soma, who was working for the Anbu, has been killed by Uchiha Shisui, and this piece of evidence remains on Chiba Soma's body.

Doesn't that give you a reason for Uchiha Shisui to kill Chiba Aozaki?

"So that's how it is!"

"So that's how it is!"

Chiba Shun trembled violently, his eyes quickly turning bloodshot. He charged towards Uchiha Shisui, shouting incoherently, "So it was your Uchiha clan that plotted a rebellion! No wonder you wanted to kill my elder brother too!"

Chiba Shun, who was rushing towards Shisui, was stopped by Amamiya Rei.

Rei Amamiya looked at Shun Chiba and advised, "Calm down. If Shisui Uchiha really intended to murder your older brother, why would he admit it so easily?"

Chiba Shun's breath hitched. He paused, unable to explain why. He returned to his original spot, panting, and said to Amamiya Rei, "Even if he doesn't admit it, there's nothing we can do. The evidence is right in front of us!"

Rei Amamiya shook his head and said to Shun Chiba, "It's not that simple."

"Everyone knows Uchiha Shisui's strength, how could he possibly leave such conspicuous evidence on a corpse?"

Rei Amamiya pointed to the Uchiha clan crest that Shun Chiba had been clutching tightly in his hand.

Chiba Shun gritted his teeth; his resolve was wavering...

but……

"But he admitted it himself!"

"Shun Chiba said."

Rei Amamiya shook his head: "I'm not questioning the fact that Shisui Uchiha killed Soma Chiba, but rather his motives for killing Soma Chiba."

"If Uchiha Shisui really killed Chiba Soma to cover up the Uchiha clan's affairs, we probably wouldn't even be able to see Chiba Soma's body now."

Rei Amamiya glanced down at Chiba Souma's corpse, then stared at Shun Chiba: "And now, not only is Chiba Souma's corpse laid out right in front of us, but it's also full of 'clues' aimed at Uchiha Shisui..."

Chiba Shun pursed his lips, gripped the Uchiha clan crest tightly in his hand, and furrowed his brows.

That's right!

That's too deliberate!

It's as if everything is emphasizing that it was Uchiha Shisui who killed Chiba Soma for the sake of the Uchiha clan!

"Lord Hokage, I believe this matter is deliberately orchestrated to frame the village's ninjas."

Rei Amamiya looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Everyone in Konoha knows that you and Uchiha Shisui are very close friends, so of course you're speaking from his perspective."

Danzo glanced at Rei Amamiya and said slowly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and looked at Rei Amamiya.

If this matter is not handled properly, it could very likely implicate Rei Amamiya.

Rei Amamiya's reputation must not be affected.

Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Rei Amamiya, "Don't get involved in this matter."

This is what Rei Amamiya said.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi said this, he was able to refuse to save Shisui even if he saw him "dying".

Otherwise, given the persona he established in Konoha, how could he possibly not help Shisui?

"Konoha has a lot of missions lately..."

After saying this, Hiruzen Sarutobi called out, "Kakashi."

Kakashi stepped forward.

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued, "You and Rei Amamiya go and handle the mission requests in the village."
