Volume II: Konoha's Night Owl Chapter 17: Shisui

A week later Hiruzen gave Shisui and Bokuto the permission to clear up the suspicion on the Uchiha Clan, Danzo met with Hiruzen to discuss about the unrest that is going on with the village and the Uchiha Clan.

"The Uchiha are assembling again tonight." Danzo said with a stoic face to Hiruzen.

"I know about it as well. But we cannot interfere with their clan rituals." Hiruzen said with a calm face.

Hearing this anger slowly started well up inside Danzo and he said "Rituals indeed! They're going to fan the flames of distrust against usus, then use it to unite the clan. They are preparing for a couple d'etat."

Looking at Danzo, Hiruzen said "And the one to nip it in the bud is ..." Then looking at the door he said "Shisui."

As he said that the door opened and Shisui came in.

"Shisui Uchiha?" Danzo said.

"Shisui will attend the assembly. And if Fugaku Uchiha incites a rebellion... "

"I will use my Kotoamatsuami." Before Hiruzen could finish Shisui interjected.

"Your visual Jutsu." Danzo asked.

"He will have no clue that Shisui is controlling his actions. He will believe that his words are his own." Hiruzen said.

"I'm going to make Fugaku think about co-existence with the village." Shisui said.

Hearing this Danzo spoke "I don't think that controlling only Fugaku will put an end to the Uchiha's dissatisfaction."

"No. If the Uchiha will change, then we if thr Leaf must change too. Let us improve our relations with the Uchiha." Hiruzen said.

"That is my hope." Shisui told both of them after Hiruzen finished what he was saying.

"I will assign one ANBU behind the scenes. I'm counting on you, Shisui." Hiruzen told Shisui

"Yes sir." Shisui agreed with it.

Unknown to all three of them, Bokuto was listening in on their conversation in a different location and he thought 'So things are going as it should have gone. I just hope that this will be successful.'

As the time neared for the meeting in the Naka Shrine, Danzo called Shisui for a private meeting. As he's the one of the elder of thr village council and the Third Hokages teammate, he went to meet Danzo.

When Shisui reached the place he saw Danzo standing there alone, nearing him Shisui spoke "What is it, Lord Danzo? Its almost time for the assembly to start."

With his stoic face Danzo spoke "Even of you use your dojutsu on Fugaku to get the clan to cooperate, what if the village doesn't change?"

"Lord Hokage has promised to make it change."

"Even if Lord Third is satisfied, the distrust among the Leaf will not go away."

"I realize that. But in time... "

"Besides, someone who's always suspicious like me will never change. What will you do then?"

"But Lord Danzo. ... "

"When that time comes, will you use your Kotoamatsukami on me too?"

"I'm.. "

"Your Sharingan.... shall be in my safekeeping!"

Saying that he tried to pluck out the eyes of Shisui. But, at the last moment Shisui used Genjutsu on Danzo to stop him from doing anything.

"It's only Genjutsu.... You will snap out of it shortly." Saying that Shisui walked away from there. But before he could take his third step he was punched in his guts, and Danzo who was in the Genjutsu faded away from behind Shisui.

Just as he was about to take the eye of Danzo his right hand was cleanly sliced by a sword that had lightning element coating on it. As his right hand fell down on the floor, Danzo looked at the new arrival at the scene and said "What is the meaning of this Bokuto Nara?"

Picking up the arm from the floor, Bokuto made three shadow clones and gave it to the clones to protect and said "Well, I'm saving my friend from the hands of a warmonger."

"As I have thought. You're also a threat to the village." Taking two steps back, Danzo said "Take them down."

But no one came on his call, confused he looked at the place where his Root Ninjas where supposed to be and saw eight Jonins of Konoha subdued his personal guards. And seeing the one who is in the forefront, Danzo muttered "Wicked Eye Figaku."

"Danzo." That's all said by Fugaky.

Looking at Danzo, Bokuto said "If you surrender peacefully, you won't lose anymore of your limbs."

Danzo snorted at that and said "That was only a fluke, kid. Don't get it into your head."

Saying that he ran towards Bokuto, with the intend of kill.

Sighing Bokuto used his Swift release and easily sliced off Danzos right leg. As he lost his footing, Danzo fell down while screaming, and looking at Bokuto with a hateful face. But before he could react he was put in a Genjutsu by one of the Uchiha who came with Fugaku.

Looking at Danzo who is in Genjutsu, Bokuto spoke "Fugaku-san, I'll be taking him with me."

"Alright. But what about these guys?"

"Keep them in Genjutsu every time they try to break it."

"Okay."

Looking at the confused Shisui, Bokuto spoke "I'll tell you everything after this is finished."

Shisui nodded at Bokuto, trusting his friend, after that Bokuto teleported away from the spot.

As his friend left Shisui looked at Fugaku, seeing Shisui looking at him Fugaku said "He will explain it to you. That's what he told me to."

"I understand."

"Shishi, go and call Itachi, we need to go somewhere. And the rest of you guys."

"Yes sir."

"Keep an eye on them and make sure that they won't escape from your hands."

"Yes sir." The seven Uchiha clansman obeyed their Clan Head.

At the Nara Clan compound, Bokuto appeared with Danzo and made sure that he was still in Genjutsu and made him go unconscious, by pressing some of the pressure points on Danzos neck.

After that was done he went and found his uncle Shikaku Nara, seeing Bokuto in the Clan compound Shikaku was confused so he asked Bokuto "What are you doing here? Did you finish the mission?"

"I'm not here for that." Taking a deep breath he said to Shikaku "Uncle, I need your help to call in an emergency meeting with the Hokage and all the Clan Heads in the Village."

"Why?" Shikaku asked him.

Taking a deep breath, Bokuto started to tell Shikaku everything that he have done in the past week after making sure that there were no one spying on them.

After hearing all that, with a grave face Shikaku asked Bokuto "What you've said now, is that all true?"

"One hundred percent true. This why I'm asking you to arrange a meeting in an hour."

Nodding at Bokuto, Shikaku stood up from his seating position and said "Fifteen minutes. In fifteen minutes, all the clan heads will be in meeting room with Lord Third."
