Chapter 203 Encounter
After listening to Hiruzen Sarutobi's instructions, Uchiha Shisui nodded slightly, indicating his approval and acceptance. Then, without hesitation, he turned and left the Hokage Building, his steps firm and swift, as if he already had a clear goal and plan in mind. His figure flashed like lightning through the corridors and staircases, rushing towards Hyuga Kanan's location.
Hiruzen Sarutobi specifically instructed that it should not be revealed that he had dispatched Shisui Uchiha to carry out this mission, a request that Shisui wholeheartedly agreed to. He was well aware of the tense relationship between the Hyuga clan and the Konoha leadership. If he were to openly engage in battle with Kanan Hyuga on orders from the Konoha leadership, it would undoubtedly exacerbate the conflict. This would make resolving these conflicts in the future far more difficult and require significantly more effort.
Uchiha Shisui understood that caution was paramount at this moment. He decided to carry out the mission quietly, avoiding unnecessary attention and trouble as much as possible. He would rely on his wisdom and strength to handle this incident in the most appropriate way, completing the mission without harming the relationship between the Hyuga clan and the Konoha leadership. In his heart, maintaining peace and resolving conflicts remained his most important mission.
At this moment, Hyuga Kanan continued his resolute advance towards the Hyuga clan's territory, seemingly unconcerned about the Root ninjas' potential re-pursuit once they recovered. In truth, his earlier restraint wasn't out of mercy or fear of Konoha's power, but rather out of a desire to avoid further entanglement with the village. However, this was his final act of tolerance towards Konoha. If the Root ninjas persisted in obstructing his journey, he would show no mercy. After all, he had already given Konoha ample face; if they continued their obstruction, it would only prove they were courting death. While Hyuga Kanan always disliked trouble, he was never afraid of it.
After leaving the bustling, lively area of Konoha, the surroundings became increasingly quiet, and they drew ever closer to the Hyuga clan's location. Just then, Hyuga Kanan's expression suddenly darkened, as if shrouded in a shadow.
He discovered that a group of Root ninjas had appeared ahead, and they were clearly prepared to attack, adopting an aggressive posture. It was obvious that Konoha hadn't taken his earlier warning to the Hyuga clan seriously; these Root ninjas were still present.
"You're really asking for trouble! Fine, since your Konoha Village is so ungrateful, then don't blame me for being impolite!" Hyuga Kanan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with anger and determination. He coldly stared at the Root ninjas in front of him, his face frighteningly gloomy, and uttered a single sentence without any mercy.
The Root ninjas nearby didn't say much, nor did they give Hyuga Kanan a chance to raise his aura and suppress them. They launched an attack directly on Hyuga Kanan. They had received orders from Shimura Danzo to take down Hyuga Kanan with all their might.
Seeing the various ninjutsu attacks coming at him, Hyuga Kanan lightly touched the ground with his feet, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. Countless ninjutsu bombarded the surrounding ground and houses, raising clouds of dust.
As the dust settled, Hyuga Kanan reappeared, standing behind the group of Root ninja. More than twelve Root ninja remained motionless. Hyuga Kanan continued advancing towards the Hyuga clan's territory, while the Root ninja who had remained in place instantly collapsed to the ground, lifeless. Blood gushed from holes in their chests near their hearts, confirming that they had been pierced through the heart by Hyuga Kanan's sword finger in that instant.
In the distance, the ANBU ninjas dispatched by Hiruzen Sarutobi to monitor the situation had beads of sweat on their foreheads. Just moments ago, they hadn't been able to detect or sense when Hyuga Kanan had made his move. They had only vaguely seen a white figure move like a ghost among the Root ninjas, and then, all of them, they were lifeless. The ANBU ninjas didn't even have time to react before it was all over. Undoubtedly, if they had been in that situation themselves, the outcome would have been no different. At this moment, they dared not make any further moves, and could only watch helplessly as Hyuga Kanan calmly departed, no longer daring to follow or monitor him. They clearly remembered that when Hyuga Kanan left, he had glanced in the direction of their hiding place, meaning that he had already known their presence but had chosen to ignore it. However, if they, the ANBU ninjas, continued to follow him, it was hard to say whether he would continue to ignore them.
Just as Hyuga Kanan was about to reach the Hyuga clan's territory, a black figure suddenly appeared before him, seemingly stepping out of thin air and blocking his path. This figure was dressed in the attire of an ANBU ninja, exuding a powerful and mysterious aura, along with an incredibly intense killing intent. Compared to the ordinary ANBU members who had previously monitored him, the intensity of this person's aura was simply incomparable.
Hyuga Kanan scrutinized the ninja dressed as an Anbu member with great interest. His gaze fell upon the crimson Sharingan beneath the mask, and he immediately recognized the man. Possessing such unique Sharingan, this person was clearly not the renowned Copy Ninja Kakashi, but rather a member of the Uchiha clan.
In Hyuga Kanan's original memories, only two Uchiha clan members could become members of the Anbu. One was Uchiha Shisui, known as "Shisui of the Body Flicker," famous for his exceptional genjutsu and teleportation abilities; the other was Uchiha Itachi, the genius ninja burdened with a heavy destiny. Hyuga Kanan secretly wondered which of them the person before him was.
The newcomer was none other than Uchiha Shisui, hailed as a once-in-a-millennium genius of the Uchiha clan. He had just emerged from the Hokage Building and rushed over at astonishing speed. However, despite his efforts, he still couldn't reach the scene in time. The horrific sight before him filled him with immense grief—Konoha ninja had already been brutally murdered! For Uchiha Shisui, who held himself in high esteem and considered protecting Konoha his duty, this was an utter disgrace, and his anger flared instantly.
Thus, the scene unfolded where Uchiha Shisui blocked Hyuga Kanan's path. Initially, Uchiha Shisui intended to calmly communicate with them, trying to persuade these former traitors to repent and return to the Konoha ninja family. After all, he firmly believed that even rebels harbored some affection for Konoha deep down; otherwise, why would they risk returning to the village?
But reality dealt Uchiha Shisui a heavy blow. The other party was so cold-blooded and ruthless, mercilessly killing Konoha ninja, showing absolutely no trace of their attachment to Konoha. Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui knew further words were futile and completely abandoned any thought of persuasion. Clearly, these people were no good; their actions demonstrated that they had absolutely no connection to Konoha.
Hyuga Kanan looked at the Uchiha member with murderous intent on his face, a surge of curiosity and anticipation rising within him. He secretly guessed that whoever the other party was, they must have already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan! Hyuga Kanan had always been deeply interested in this peculiar ability that granted one the power of various world rules from birth.
The Uchiha clan is perhaps the branch closest in bloodline to the mastermind behind the scenes, and the Sharingan bloodline eye techniques they inherited exhibit extremely unique characteristics. Hyuga Kanan yearns to delve deeper into their research, exploring just how many kinds of world-ruling power are contained within the Sharingan.
He knew that the mysteries of these rules might reveal more secrets about the nature of the world, and could even be the key to his breakthrough. Facing the Uchiha clansman before him, Hyuga Kanan decided to observe him carefully, hoping to gain some valuable clues and inspiration.
He stared intently into the other's eyes, trying to detect the subtle changes and fluctuations of power hidden within them. Every glance, every blink, seemed to contain endless mysteries and profound meanings. Hyuga Kanan was completely absorbed in this eye contact, not missing a single detail.
He wants to unveil the mysteries behind the Sharingan and explore its secrets and power. This is not only a pursuit of improving his own strength, but also a courageous challenge to the unknown world. In this fantastical world, Hyuga Kanan is determined to keep moving forward, unraveling the mysteries, and pursuing higher levels of knowledge and achievement.
Uchiha Shisui had never encountered anyone like this before—knowing full well that his eyes were the renowned Sharingan, yet he still stared at him without fear, seemingly not taking the Sharingan, which was famous throughout the ninja world, seriously at all! Not only that, but that person even had an expression on his face as if he were investigating something… This was simply the greatest insult and contempt for Uchiha Shisui!
After all, as a proud member of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Shisui had absolute confidence in the bloodline limit inherited from his family! Now, to be so disrespected by others, how could he not be furious and enraged? Therefore, Uchiha Shisui made up his mind: no matter what, he had to teach that guy a painful and profound lesson so that he would know the true power of the Sharingan!
The Uchiha clan is blindly confident in their clan's bloodline limit. Even Uchiha Shisui, who is least like the Uchiha clan, inherited the most arrogant personality trait of the Uchiha clan, which is that he believed that the most powerful bloodline limit in the ninja world is the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.
