Chapter 6

Meanwhile, At the Foundation base in Konoha Forest

Danzo had asked Shisui to come to the base. Danzo was in his usual white kimono and had covered is right arm with bandages so that no one would see the hand made by Hashirama Senju's cells embedded with mangekyou Sharingan which he could evolve into Rinnegan if he wanted. He was as solemn as ever. No one dared to talk to him. He was cool and patient. He did not even blink as he waited for Shisui.

He was going to take Shisui's eyes so that he would be able to keep both Izuna and Hiruzen from killing him by using over three rinnegan and one Mangekyou Sharingan, he would be able to survive. He had a few other Foundation members standing guard so that they could help him get Shisui's eyes.

A few minutes later Shisui arrived. He was in his normal uniform. He kneeled and paid his respects to Danzo almost fully knowing what might happen to him. Danzo opened his the bandages covering his right hand and went straight for the eyes of Shisui. Shisui was surprised and barely managed to dodge Danzo but Danzo struck a huge blow to Shisui using his Hashirama arm and Shisui for a second was temporarily knocked off balance. At this moment Danzo managed to acquire one of Shisui's eyes Shisui had to stop his second eye from being taken by Danzo. He stabbed Danzo in the gut and managed to find himself some time and tried to get out of there where he would use Amaterasu and obliterate his lost eye and this base but was attacked by over ten Foundation shinobi. He had to something. He used Amateresu and Inferno Control to kill two of the shinobi. He wanted to get out of here quickly so that he could come back later with was reinforcements such as the likes of Itachi, Izuna-sama and Sandaime-sama. He was limited to the usage of only Amaterasu and genjutsu. If he kept on using them, he would be as good as dead.

Danzo kept his footing and said, "Shisui, your eyes and life are mine. No matter what you do your eyes will eventually end up in my sockets. I will protect the village no matter what the cost and no matter how dirty the means, I will protect the village. The Uchiha will rebel unless Izuna chooses to pay them what they are demanding and if Izuna fulfils their demands, the village will rebel against Izuna. Izuna is in a position where he can neither accept nor decline the demands of the Uchiha and cannot protect the village and a lot of lives will be lost. What do you want Shisui? Do you want to watch your village burn in the hands of the Uchiha, then the remaining villages, or do you want the village to be wrecked by Civil War then by another Great Shinobi War?"

Shisui was unable to answer Danzo's question. He wanted neither. He wanted the Uchiha to back down on their demands and stop their coup but he couldn't. Danzo did have a point. The Gondaime Hokage was not in a position as of now. Just when Shisui was thinking of this, Danzo charged at Shisui with such blinding speed and once again hit Shisui and went directly for his eye. Shisui barely stopped Danzo from taking his remaining eye. He jumped as far back as he could.

Danzo screamed at him, "Tell me your answer Shisui, tell me!"

Shisui was already occupied and had another demon wind Shuriken at him which he barely dodged but this time it managed to injure his hand badly.,

Shisui had to buy himself some more time so he figured taking this talk further would both allow him to gain more chakra, think of some strategy and get to know what Danzo wanted to do. So he said, "What is your answer to this question, Danzo?"

Danzo was not expecting this but was prepared for it anyway. He started moving towards Shisui. He had thought that Shisui wouldn't be able to escape alive and said, "Shisui, which is more important to you, your village or your clan?"

Shisui needed a little more time and this conversation would give him a little more than just time and he said, "The village, of course". He then backed a little to escape Danzo.

Danzo had expected the answer and said, "Then you know that I cannot let the village be struck by civil war by any means. The village is more important to me than the Uchiha. Had Minato still been alive, this situation would be much different, but no, Izuna is the current Hokage and though he might be much better and have more guts than Minato himself, since the attack of the Kyubi,, his image among the villagers has drastically worsened. Thus, we either change the Hokage which is not possible so, my answer is to exterminate the Uchiha."

Shisui could not say that he hadn't been expecting this answer for a part of him also knew that it was the only choice acceptable between the current choices of the Hokage. But still he didn't like to see his clan destroyed. There had to be another solution. He spoke, "Is that all you can do. There is always a way to save everybody."

Danzo was not surprised by his answer. He sighed and the other shinobi in the area used wood style against him to bind him. Though Shisui was surprised at the usage of wood style, he had trained enough with Izuna to know that wood style was extremely weak against fire style and Shisui used Amaterasu against the wood style user who was pushed back by this and taking advantage of Shisui being occupied, Danzo struck him with a lot of force and Shisui was pushed back completely.

Danzo said, "There would have been a way to save everybody if the Hokage were anybody except Izuna right now. The civilians completely despise him because he pushed them out of the administration and took huge taxes from them and upon that the civilians hold him responsible for the attack of the nine tails on the village. Right now, with Izuna as Hokage, there is no other way but to exterminate the Uchiha and your eyes are extremely important to me if I am to succeed."

Shisui said, "Danzo, you shall never succeed!"
