Chapter32

Shisui was having a very bad day. During his shift in Anbu, he was tasked to escort a noble to the Fire Capital, and it wasn’t a pleasant experience. They had to stop at various spots just because the noble wanted to enjoy the scenery. To top it all off, Shisui had to be on guard for any sneak attacks or bandits. Furthermore, the guards the noble had were not even doing their job right; it seemed as though those samurais were treating it like a vacation.

Shisui really wanted to relax like them, but he couldn’t. Due to the recent financial struggle and shortage in manpower in Konoha Anbu, ninjas like him had to take these missions and bring some money to the village. In addition to that, the village wanted to promote their ninjas to have more people give missions to them. So if someone messed up these missions, the backlash would be too much for the village to bear.

This was especially true for an Uchiha like him. Shisui knew that most of the higher-ups in Konoha would directly blame his clan if he made any mistakes. And he couldn’t afford that, especially at a time like this when the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan was at its worst.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

So he somehow endured it and completed his mission. Since he was exhausted mentally he hurriedly returned to the village to get some good rest for the day. But his bad luck didn’t let him do as he pleased.

Just after he was about to go to bed to get some sleep a Root ninja came and told him to come to the Root headquarters. Since the summon is from an elder of Konoha, Shisui had to come there as soon as possible. So he could begrudgingly put on his ninja uniform again and rush to the Root headquarters. As an Anbu ninja he knew where the Root headquarters was.

Due to his hurry he didn’t even inform Fugaku about his summon. This is a procedure the Uchiha do when someone from the higher ups summons them. They want no more misunderstanding after all.

‘ Now that I think about it I should have spoken to clan leader Fugaku about everything ‘ Shisui thought with a grim face.

His situation isn’t quite what you could say good. One of his eyes is missing while he is poisoned. And worst of all he is surrounded by Root ninjas who are at minimum jonin level shinobi.

His only saving grace is the Susano he forcibly managed to summon. But even that is too taxing for his body due to the huge consumption of chakra and the loss of one of his eyes. He can feel himself almost nearing his limit.

His only hope is to kill as many Root members so that Danzo would call them back. After all he doesn’t need to waste more of his valuable Root ninjas to kill a near death ninja when he can get his hands on his corpse after his death. After all, he is the darkness of Konoha , who would question his actions if the Hokage is quiet about it.

And so with that as the only hope Shisui acted and fought desperately. With his susano’s absolute defence he didn’t worry about any attacks as he went on the full offensive. And soon he was able to kill more than 5 Root ninjas.

But even after all these casualties the order for retreat didn’t come. It looked like he had underestimated Danzo’s greed for his remaining eye. Shisui quietly began to steady his breathing. It seemed he would have to use all his trump cards to escape from this situation.

But just as he was about to make a move, a sudden chilling sensation enveloped him, sending shivers down his spine. The atmosphere around him grew tense, and an eerie silence descended upon the area, causing even the bravest of Root ninjas to freeze in shock. In that fleeting moment of distraction, their fate was sealed.
