The wooden door opened, and Shisui's figure came into the line of sight of Rei Amamiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Greetings, Hokage-sama."
Shisui's figure passed over Amamiya Rei, filled with deep longing. He lowered his head and bowed to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Get up."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Shisui with a smile on his face.
Shisui stood up, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards Rei Amamiya.
Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed Shisui's gaze and cleared his throat: "Shisui, you've had a tough six months."
Shisui shook his head, turned his gaze back to the Hokage, and firmly shook his head: "It's part of the mission, not hard work."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a look of relief, "Now that you're back, you should rest in the village for a while!"
"Thank you, Lord Hokage!"
"That's what Zhi Shui said."
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved to him, his gaze falling on Rei Amamiya: "Alright! Now that Shizuka is back in peace, you can rest assured! You haven't seen each other in a long time, go and catch up!"
Shisui blushed slightly.
Rei Amamiya stood up and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Thank you, Hokage-sama!"
He didn't want to stay in the office and help Hiruzen Sarutobi with these boring official duties.
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head helplessly, watching Rei Amamiya and Shisui walk away side by side.
After the door closed, Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a heavy sigh.
From any perspective, zero and still water can be considered a perfect match.
However, there is one thing that doesn't match: Shisui comes from the Uchiha clan.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was really worried!
Uchiha Shisui could be Zero's right-hand man, but he couldn't be Zero's husband.
If Rei Amamiya heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's inner thoughts, he would definitely put Hiruzen's mind at ease.
Because Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely making things up in his own mind!
"Zhishui, let's go eat barbecue."
Rei Amamiya suggested.
That way, when he's too lazy to act, he can cover it up by eating meat.
Zhi Shui nodded: "Okay."
BBQ shop.
Rei Amamiya told Shisui everything that had happened in the village while he was away.
"Itachi has joined the Anbu."
"The villagers have already forgotten about what happened to you..."
Of course, forgetting doesn't mean forgetting completely.
If anything happens again, the villagers will blame the Uchiha clan for everything.
"The relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan has also improved considerably..."
This is also a comforting thought for Rei Amamiya.
The tense relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan simply shifted from the open to the covert.
Chapter 300 You and she can never be together!!!
After finishing the barbecue, Uchiha Shisui returned to the Uchiha clan.
He had barely stepped into the clan's territory when he was notified to attend the clan meeting.
Uchiha Shisui walked towards the Naga Shrine.
His figure descended the stairs to the basement.
The Uchiha clan's fan-shaped emblem was projected onto the wall.
The candlelight reflected in Shisui's eyes.
He stood at the bottom of the stairs.
All eyes in the Uchiha clan were on him.
Zhi Shui's gaze swept over them one by one.
"Still water".
Uchiha Fugaku, who was sitting in the first seat, spoke.
Shisui nodded, walked to Fugaku Uchiha's side, and knelt down on the futon to the lower left of the clan leader.
Shisui glanced to the side and saw Itachi Uchiha's face.
Itachi looked much more mature, with a dark light in his eyes that was not befitting his age.
A complex mix of emotions welled up in Zhi Shui's heart.
He had just sat down when a voice came from the elders' seat opposite him.
"Now Shisui has returned to the village!"
"We have nothing to worry about anymore!"
The voice made Zhishui raise his eyes and focus his gaze on the elder who had spoken.
The elders' gazes were fixed on Zhishui.
One of the elders spoke up, "Zhishui, you've been away from the village for the past six months, so you may not know what has happened!"
Then, before Shisui could speak, a young member of the Uchiha clan spoke up indignantly:
"The village has intensified its surveillance of our Uchiha clan!"
"Not only that, the Konoha Guard... no longer has a single ninja from the Uchiha clan!"
"After they expelled our Uchiha clan members from the guard force, they were afraid of dealing with us, so they simply abolished the entire guard force!"
"Our Uchiha clan has been completely excluded from the village!"
"We cannot participate in Konoha's major decisions!"
"We don't have any of our people in Konoha's governing bodies!"
"Only Itachi is in the Anbu. Apart from him, no other ninja from our Uchiha clan holds an important position in the village!"
"..."
Shisui listened to the endless complaints.
He bowed deeply to the crowd, his forehead almost touching the ground.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault that everyone has been dragged into this."
His movements and sounds silenced the entire basement.
The ninjas who had been complaining earlier looked at Shisui's actions, exchanged glances, and said to him, "Shisui, we're not blaming you..."
After someone spoke up, everyone chimed in, "Yeah! Shisui! What does this have to do with you! It's clearly the village that's maliciously targeting us..."
Shisui straightened up and shook his head at them: "No! It's my fault!"
The young members of the Uchiha clan looked at Shisui with confusion, not understanding why he was forcibly taking on these responsibilities.
Isn't this clearly a deliberate targeting of the Uchiha clan by the village?
"Shisui, you disagree with launching a coup, right?"
In the ensuing silence, the elderly elder fixed his gaze on Zhishui and asked a question.
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze once again focused on Shisui, but unlike before, this time everyone's gaze carried a scrutinizing meaning.
The pressure felt like an invisible mountain pressing down on Zhishui's shoulders.
Shi Shui's expression remained unchanged.
He looked calmly at the elder before him and said firmly, "Yes, I do not agree to launch a coup."
"why?"
"Stop the water!"
"Have you forgotten how the higher-ups framed you?"
"Have you forgotten why you left the village for half a year?"
"How can the higher-ups treat our Uchiha clan like this? Can't we even resist?"
"..."
Countless questions flooded towards the still water.
Shisui lowered his eyes: "If we launch a coup, we will not succeed; we will only fail. And after we fail..."
Shisui looked up at them and asked, "What will happen to the Uchiha clan after their defeat?"
"We will not fail!"
"Yes! We will not fail!"
Someone immediately retorted.
“Shisui, Rei Amamiya has no defenses against you. If you want, you can easily make Rei Amamiya sleep through the night of launching the coup.”
The elder's words filled Shisui with an uncontrollable killing intent.
"And then what happened after the coup?"
Zhi Shui asked.
The elder calmly said, "After the coup, Rei Amamiya had no choice but to accept it."
If you can't accept it, then control Rei Amamiya and kill her.
Shisui fell silent.
"Shisui, you are a member of the Uchiha clan..."
"Do you think they'll trust you just because you don't have any disloyal intentions towards the higher-ups?"
"As long as your surname is Uchiha, and as long as your Mangekyou Sharingan hasn't disappeared, the higher-ups will never trust you."
"Oh, right."
"You like Rei Amamiya, right?"
"Rei Amamiya is a Wood Release ninja and will be the future Hokage."
"You and she can never be together."
"Shisui, you should think this through carefully!"
"..."
Shisui thought that it was enough for him to always be by Zero's side and protect her.
He wasn't greedy for the rest.
He had thought it through very clearly.
Shisui remained kneeling in place as members of the Uchiha clan walked past him one after another, leaving the basement.
In the end, only Shisui and Itachi beside him remained in the huge basement.
Shisui looked at Itachi.
Itachi looked up at the clan crest on the wall: "Shisui, I also disagree with launching a coup."
Shisui smiled at Itachi.
"I don't want war to break out in the village."
