Chapter 106 Double-sided(3/3)
Not only did he see the red eyes in Kyuubi's eyes, but Minato's last words also convinced him that there was a major problem within the Uchiha clan.
It was just the issue of how to deal with Uchiha that gave Hiruzen a headache.
Fortunately, the emergence of Shisui successfully solved this problem.
He is willing to be the eye that oversees the Uchiha clan and reports all the Uchiha clan's movements to them.
Judging from the current situation, although the Uchiha clan is dissatisfied with the village, they are not going to go to war. With Shisui's information, he can also adopt strategies in time to stabilize the hearts of the Uchiha clan and prevent them from going to war here.
There was great chaos.
Therefore, every time Shisui sent him a message, he paid special attention to it.
"A few days ago, I made a friend in the clan. His name is Uchiha Itachi."
"Itachi Uchiha?"
The name Hiruzen felt familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
"He is the son of the Fugaku clan leader, and he has a talent far better than mine."
Shisui said this.
Hiruzen was slightly surprised. In his opinion, few people in the village could match Shisui's talent.
He has a talent far superior to Shisui. If he hadn't known that Shisui was not a big talker, Hiruzen would have suspected that Shisui was deceiving.
"I think he has a moldable foundation to be able to be a guy on my side."
It's 'I', not 'we', which shows Shisui's position.
Although he became the high-level eyes and supervised the Uchiha clan, it was only due to the responsibilities of the Konoha ninjas.
He does not want to be a weapon used by one party against the other, but only wants to do a good job as a bridge.
His surname has always been Uchiha. Even if he jumped out of the clan, the blood of the Uchiha clan is still flowing in his body. This is undeniable.
Hiruzen thought for a moment, stared at Shisui's extremely calm face and asked, "Are you sure?"
If he were just an Uchiha clansman with outstanding talents, Hiruzen would not attach so much importance to him, but Itachi was different. In addition to possessing talents that Shisui praised, he was also the son of the leader of the Uchiha clan.
Even if he has not yet joined the Uchiha clan association, his status and influence are extraordinary.
The Uchiha clan's problems cannot be solved in the short term. We must be prepared for a long-term battle.
"Sure."
Shisui nodded.
He thought of what Itachi had said to him, to become a better ninja than anyone else and to end all the conflicts in the world... As long as he was guided well, he would be able to become a bridge connecting the village and the clan like him.
He alone is still too weak in the clan.
The most important thing is that his identity cannot be exposed.
"You will guide him. If necessary, I will suck him into the ANBU and train him."
Hiruzen immediately decided on such a thing.
Hiruzen's decision surprised Shisui.
ANBU?
"Elder Danzo's side..."
If someone from the Uchiha clan is allowed to join the ANBU, the leader of the ANBU will definitely stand in his way.
"Ignore him, I will take care of Uchiha matters myself and won't let anyone get involved."
Hiruzen said firmly.
Shisui felt at ease, as long as the Third Hokage said this, it wouldn't be a problem.
"Moreover, Shisui, you also need to join the Anbu, which will facilitate your future actions."
Hiruzen said this and handed over a piece of paper.
Shisui took it and there was a location written on it.
"Tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon, go to this place to pick up ANBU's tokens, including clothes and disguise props. Your identity cannot be exposed. No third person except me will know that you are ANBU."
"yes."
Zhishui's heart froze.
In other words, he is a single person and a single team, and he only needs to be responsible for the Third Hokage.
And with the status of Anbu, things will be much easier.
"About the Uchiha clan... has the insider been uncovered?"
"Sorry, there is still no progress so far."
Shisui shook his head.
"Keep following up and don't let up."
"Yes...but, Hokage-sama, is there really an insider within Uchiha?"
Shisui asked bravely.
Just because there is a dangerous defector ninja like Uchiha Ruri in the Uchiha clan, it would be too arbitrary to conclude that there is an insider within the Uchiha clan.
Hiruzen hesitated for a moment, then walked to Shisui and whispered a few words softly.
Shisui's eyes widened immediately.
Mangekyō Sharingan?
When the Fourth Hokage died, did something like this still happen?
If that's the case, it's no wonder the senior management takes it so seriously.
Shisui took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down.
"I know, Hokage-sama, I will definitely find out the traitor!"
Shimei's face is firm.
If that traitor is allowed to continue to stir up trouble within the Uchiha clan, sooner or later the entire clan will be dragged into the water and become completely hostile to the village.
"Leave it to you. If you find any problems, report them to me to avoid falling into the enemy's trap."
Shisui nodded and disappeared from the room.
The Third Hokage also took a deep breath and left the room.
Returning quietly to the office in the Hokage Building, Hiruzen was about to continue processing today's documents when an ANBU appeared in the office.
The other person wore a mask, had silver hair, and carried a short chakra knife on his back.
Put a document into the hands of the Third Hokage.
"Hokage-sama, this is an urgent message from Group Three."
This ANBU is Kakashi, reporting to Hiruzen.
"Urgent?"
Hiruzen suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart and quickly opened the file bag, took out the documents inside and read through it.
There is only one thing mentioned above - the daimyo of the Land of Rain died unexpectedly, and Amegakure is being attacked by unknown people and is asking for support.
"Kakashi, you will lead two teams of Anbu to go to the Hidden Rain Village immediately to investigate the situation there!"
Heading to Aegakure? At this time?
Hiruzen suddenly issued this order, which made Kakashi feel suddenly.
Chapter completed!
