Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
chapter-107

Under Shimura Danzo’s orders, the Root ninja who was responsible for Uchiha Kurumi’s death appeared in the lands of the Uchiha Clan.

His arrival immediately caused an uproar, if not for the fact that Uchiha Fugaku himself came forward, it wouldn’t have been strange if the Root ninja died under the siege of Uchiha Clansmen before he could even reach the Clan Head’s house.

Uchiha Fugaku took the Root ninja into a secret room and only allowed Shisui to be present during the interrogation.

After all the clansmen left the secret room, Fugaku crossed his arms over his chest and questioned coldly, “So, why did you come here? I don’t believe that with his character; Shimura Danzo would just send you here to die!”

The Root Ninja gulped nervously in the presence of both Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui, without any hesitation, he immediately explained every detail of the incident, and finally added, “I was worried that the person hidden in the shadows would control either me or Uchiha Shinichi to cause more damage, so I left in a hurry without any explanation.”

Listening to the Root ninja’s explanation both Fugaku and Shisui fell into contemplation.

If what the Root ninja said is really the truth, then this matter is really not as simple as it may seem at first glance, and according to Fugaku’s analysis, it also means that aside from the Hokage Faction, there is someone else that is targeting the Uchiha Clan while being hidden in the shadows.

After a bit of reasoning, Fugaku questioned, “So, according to your explanation both you and Kurumi were being manipulated?”

The Root hurriedly nodded.

Fugaku asked again, “Then can you tell me what kind of Jutsu controlled you? Was it some kind of Genjutsu? Or some kind of secret technique like the Shadow Possession Jutsu? Or some kind of Body Possession Jutsu?”

The Root ninja shook his head with embarrassment, “I am sorry, I don’t know!”

Fugaku frowned, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes. Obviously, he didn’t believe the Root Ninja’s words.

At this time, Shisui suddenly activated his Sharingan and asked in a deep voice while looking into the eyes of the Root Ninja, “Was everything you said just now true?”

Without even realizing it, the Root ninja was already under Shisui’s genjutsu and stated with a sluggish expression, “Yes!”

With the Root ninjas confirmation, Shisui nodded towards Fugaku, “Everything he spoke is true, as for the better understanding, he is either himself not clear or just doesn’t know it all!”

Nodding at Shisui’s confirmation, Fugaku asked in return, “What is your personal opinion on the matter?”

Shisui replied without any hesitation, “The fact that someone wants to provoke conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the Village is without a doubt true, Fugaku-Sama, we mustn’t let that person’s motive succeed by playing along with his script!

Even when I was in the Anbu, through some investigations I have found that even the Kyuubi’s rebellion was under someone’s directive, if we aren’t careful then things would get worse!”

While contemplating over Shisui’s response Fugaku waved his hand and added, “Alright, send him out!”

“Yes!” – With a courteous bow, Shisui deactivated the genjutsu applied on the Root ninja and left with him.

…

Outside the building.

Uchiha Shinichi who heard that the Root Ninja who killed Kurumi right before his eyes dared to arrive at the Uchiha Clan, was now feeling very excited. Initially, he also wanted to join the interrogation along with Patriarch, but since Fugaku-Sama only allowed Shisui inside, so he was impatiently waiting outside to take revenge against the bastard.

‘Anyway, it’s not like he will be allowed to leave here alive, so it’s fine if I wait for a little, after all, revenge is a dish that’s best served when cold.’ – thought Shinichi when he remembered. Shinichi completely believes that Patriarch will not let the bastard leave and let him have his revenge!

Squeak…

At this time the door of the building slowly opened.

Shinichi Uchiha who was impatiently waiting outside the door immediately stared at the Root ninja who followed behind Shisui’s back, with clear rage in his eyes.

Driven by his emotions, even his Sharingan activated itself.

Looking at Shinichi’s raging expression, Shisui felt sad, he could more or less understand how Shinichi would be feeling right now, but even if wanted to help him, Shisui had no choice and said apologetically, “Shinichi, calm down, the matter of Kurumi’s death is not as simple as you think it is, so don’t act impulsively!”

Shinichi was taken aback by Shisui’s words, but then he suddenly realized something and shouted with anger, “What the hell do you mean, by don’t act impulsively!?”

“Don’t let anger cloud your judgment, the patriarch ordered me to send him away!” – Shisui stated helplessly.

“How is this possible!? You can’t be serious Shisui?” – Shinichi took a step back in a shocked expression, and muttered in a monotonous voice with his head bent, “Could it be that even Patriarch gave in?”

Shisui noticed that Shinichi’s emotions were getting unstable by the second and his chakra was flaring ragingly, so Shisui was getting worried about what kind of action Shinichi might take while being clouded in emotions, so taking a step forward Shisui immediately activated his Mangekyou and cast a simple genjutsu on Shinichi.

In just a moment, Uchiha Shinichi fainted while being under Shisui’s genjutsu.

Shisui stabilized Shinichi’s fall and whispered calmly, “Now stay asleep, and let your emotions calm down!”

The Root ninja looked at Uchiha Shinichi who was easily subdued by Uchiha Shisui and finally relaxed a little. He also knows that the Uchiha Clan is not something he can deal with without Danzo-Sama’s backing!

So, even if he is a Root ninja, he isn’t acting arrogantly while being inside the enemy territory, after all, his identity is useless when facing a rogue who doesn’t give a damn about it!

After seating Shinichi on a bench on the side, Shisui urged the Root Ninja, “Let’s go!”

There is no shortage of the raging Uchiha around, Shisui knows this full well that the longer the Root Ninja stays here the more complicated variables will pop out in the simple equation of his life; making it extremely difficult to determine the final result.

So, as soon as he leaves, the safer the Uchiha Clan will be!

The Root ninja also nodded hurriedly and began to walk.

But before they can take even a single step forward, a cold and indifferent voice suddenly came from the side that sent chills down Shisui’s spine, “Does that mean Kurumi’s death was meaningless?”

Shisui was taken aback and turned around abruptly.

The person who spoke was none other than Shinichi, and this shocked Shisui even more.

Although Shisui didn’t use a very strong genjutsu on Shinichi, he did cast it using his Mangekyou. And according to common sense, Shinichi Uchiha with his fully matured Sharingan should not be able to recover so quickly, at the very least half an hour of sleep was a must.

But here he is standing with an indifferent expression in less than 15 seconds!

And contrary to his previous shock and rage, the indifference in his eyes at the moment sent shivers down Shisui’s spine, he had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, even a single wrong move might just lead everything into Doom!

Calming his heart, Shisui tried explaining, “Shinichi, I will explain everything to you later, things are far complica-…”

“Shut up!” – Shinichi interrupted Shisui coldly. “I know what you want to explain but I don’t care! Does it really matter? I saw him kill Kurumi with my very own Sharingan, will the Sharingan also lie to me?

Every time I see Kurumi’s heart being pierced, there is only one thought in my mind, ‘He Must Die!’ I don’t care what sort of conspiracy is being brewed behind the scenes, HE-MUST-DIE-FOR-HE-KILLED-KURUMI!”

Word by word Shinichi revealed his determination to kill the Root ninja along with the intense blood lust oozing off of him.

Even looking at him was scary, coupled with the three tomoe that were rapidly spinning in Shinichi’s Sharingan, even Shisui couldn’t help but gulp nervously.

Shaking his head to come back to his senses, Shisui shook his head, “I am sorry Shinichi, I can’t let you kill him!”

Shinichi nodded and slowly stretched his hands into the ninja bag round his waist, and drew two Kunai in each of his hands, and muttered while taking a fighting stance, “Then I guess I’ll have to start with you!”

However, before the matter could escalate any further, Uchiha Fugaku walked out of the building and shouted in an authoritative tone, “That’s enough both of you!”

Seeing the appearance of Patriarch, Shinichi’s indifference wavered as he asked expectantly, “Patriarch, y-you will definitely avenge Kurumi’s death, right?”

But unfortunately, he got nothing but disappointment as he heard Patriarch’s flat response, “He is not the murderer.”

Shinichi tried arguing, “But Kurumi was killed by him, I saw it with my own eyes, who do you trust more; a Root member or a shinobi of the Uchiha Clan!?”

Fugaku looked deeply at Shinichi, and from just one look he determined that Shinichi couldn’t be convinced with words alone so waving his hand, he ordered the Jonin standing around him, “Send him to the prison room and let him stay there until he calms down!”

“Yes!” – several Uchiha Jonin took action at the same moment and quickly subdued Shinichi, and dragged the desperately struggling Shinichi to the Konoha Police Station.

While Shinichi was being dragged away, Fugaku spoke to Shisui, “Take him away!”

Shisui nodded immediately and without delaying any longer, he quickly led the Root ninja out of the Uchiha Clan.

…

Outside Uchiha Clan Gate.

Shimura Danzo stood by; along with several Root Anbu; while tapping his crutch impatiently as he waited for some signal.

Noticing that the Root ninja was successfully brought out by Uchiha Shisui, Danzo’s brows frowned and he sighed, seemingly disappointed with the result.

Shaking his head, Shimura Danzo left with his men after giving a cold glance at Shisui from the corner of his eyes that went unnoticed by Shisui…

…

On Kuroto’s side.

Hyuga Kuroto, who secretly sneaked back into the village and rushed towards his home thought in confusion at the changing atmosphere of the Village, “Huh, what unexpected thing happened while I was away? Why does it feel that the atmosphere of the Village has changed greatly?”

As a former member of Anbu under Hokage, Kuroto is naturally aware of many secrets routes that can be used for sneaking in and out of the village, so while secretly entering the village, Kuroto was quite surprised at the tight security that was obviously strengthened compared to normal times, so he is little doubtful as to what situation is being brewed in Konoha during his absence…
