Fire Demon Uchiha Shen - Chapter 18
Chapter 18: Doubt
Uchiha Shisui was waiting outside and smiled when he saw Shen coming out.
“I have to thank you this time. If you hadn’t come to me, I’m afraid something would have happened to me.” Shen patted Shisui on the shoulder and thanked him sincerely.
“Really? I thought Brother Shen could handle it by himself.” Shisui chuckled.
Shen’s pupils shrank slightly, but he still said with a normal expression: “How is it possible? It’s not like you don’t know my strength. There is no way that I can be that person’s opponent.”
“That’s a special Jonin level. Have you seen the Water Release Ninjutsu he used? It’s really scary!”
“I don’t know when I’ll get to that point.”
Shen changed the subject.
“Brother Shen, can I trust you?” Shisui suddenly stood still and stared at Shen and said.
“Huh?” Shen’s heart suddenly trembled.
What on earth did this guy find? Why is he so weird tonight?
“I remember that I vaguely heard his voice before the fight broke out with the bald ninja.”
“I didn’t pay attention to it before, but after the battle, I recalled it carefully.”
“I feel like what he said was – kill him!”
“Who do you think he said this to?”
Uchiha Shisui’s eyes were still clear, but it made Shen’s heart skip a beat.
He didn’t expect that Shisui actually heard the killing order.
“He was talking to his water clone.” Shen touched the back of his head and explained with a smile.
“Ohhh! So you defeated the clone?”
“If there is a spy from the Kingdom of Water in Brother Shen’s family at this time, his words can explain it perfectly.”
“What do you think?”
Shisui said lightly.
Shen was silent for a moment, shrugged and said: “Who knows? After all, that person is dead. Besides, you know the situation in my room. There is no one there at all.”
“Unless that person is hiding in the dark!”
“That would be terrible.”
Shisui stared at Shen for a while, sighed softly, and didn’t ask any more questions.
Shen was also helpless.
He just wanted to practice in peace, but he didn’t expect so many things to happen.
Although he trusted Shisui, he didn’t talk to him about everything.
Knowing the original work, he knew very well about Shisui’s character. This child was definitely on the side of the village, and in this overall view, he didn’t think Shisui would hide anything from the village for his sake, even if they had a good relationship.
A person who dared to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo about other gods’ divine illusions that modify other people’s wills, he really could share all the secret.
For Shen, he does not think that he is on the side of Konoha Village, and he does not even think that he is on the side of Uchiha.
A person who has traveled through time tells what his stance is on this world.
Then he can only say that he is just a refined egoist.
He only cares about people who treat him well.
The two of them were walking on the empty street. They were originally close partners, but at this time they seemed silent.
Soon, the two came to the Hokage’s office.
Shisui knocked on the door and walked in with Shen.
The huge office was crowded with people at the moment.
Almost all the high-level officials of Konoha Village had arrived. Shen glanced around and saw many familiar faces.
Orochimaru, Danzo, Fugaku, Hiashi, etc…
“Hokage-sama.” Shen nodded to the old man sitting behind the desk, pretending to be a little reserved.
“Shen, you weren’t injured tonight, were you?”
Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a kind smile and asked with concern.
“No, I was just a little frightened.” Shen whispered.
The eyes of everyone around him fell on Shen, making him feel a little pressure.
“It’s fine. Don’t worry. I came here to ask you a few questions. Just tell us the truth about what happened.” Sarutobi Hiruzen still looked kind.
“Ok.”
Shen said the words he had thought of before.
Basically most of it is the truth, except for the young ninja being omitted, and a water clone appeared.
In many cases it is very difficult to tell whether this is true or false.
After Shen finished speaking, an ANBU ninja immediately nodded at Sarutobi Hiruzen, meaning that what Shen said was consistent with what they had investigated.
At the same time.
Shen’s eyes glanced at Shisui.
If Shisui wants to question him, then this is the most appropriate time to stand up.
He just needs to tell everyone what he heard: Kill him! It can make Shen’s situation fall into a contradiction.
But fortunately, Uchiha Shisui didn’t speak, and his expression didn’t even change.
Shen was slightly relieved and continued immediately.
“Oh, by the way, when the bald ninja was talking to himself before, he mentioned something about the full moon.”
“I don’t quite understand it. It seems like the full moon won’t arrive for more than half a month.”
Shen pretended to be innocent and confused.
“Full moon?” Orochimaru’s golden vertical pupils narrowed slightly, “That should not refer to the full moon of the moon, but the full moon of Kirigakure’s genius ninja Mangetsu Hōzuki.”
“I think so too. There should be someone taking care of these Kirigakure ninjas. If the Kirigakure ninja didn’t deliberately deceive us, then the person taking care of them should be Mangetsu Hōzuki.” Danzo also spoke at this time.
“I see.”
Shen suddenly showed a look of realization.
This time he wasn’t faking it.
But he really reacted.
In fact, he didn’t really remember this person very well, but if he mentioned Mangetsu Hōzuki’s brother, he still had some impressions.
But he really couldn’t remember the name, but now that Orochimaru and Danzo mentioned it, his memory was immediately brought back.
“It seems that we have to take strict precautions. Kirigakure’s infiltration of Konoha this time is still unexpected.” Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
“I will send more manpower, and I will also deploy controls around the village. If Mangetsu Hōzuki dares to come, I will make sure he never comes back.” Danzo said with a cold expression.
“Well, I’ll leave this matter to you.” Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
Shen looked much more relaxed at the moment, and everyone’s attention was no longer on him. He could just stand aside and watch the show happily.
“Then next, we have to talk about the corpse.” Danzo finished his words and looked at Uchiha Fugaku.
“Captain Fugaku, should you hand over the body of the Kirigakure spy to our roots so that we can read his memory so that we can continue the next mission?”
“After all, there’s no use leaving that body in your hands.”
After the words fell, the whole office fell silent.
Most of the people looked like they were watching a show, knowing that this was a conflict between the root of Danzo’s leadership and the Konoha security force led by Uchiha Fugaku.
But at the same time, Danzo’s words were like thunder, exploding in Uchiha Shen’s mind.
“what?”
“That corpse can still read its memory?”
“Fuck!!!”
