"So, Shisui, how did you end up losing your precious Sharingan?" Shiroken asked him. Monari also arrived at the sa ti.
Shisui was now wearing a blindfold over his eyes, to save the sockets from getting infected. He was in a much calr state now.
"I... What happened to my clan now?" He asked first.
"Dead, they were all killed by a boy and a man in a mask," Shiroken replied.
Hearing this, Shisui's face contorted. "I did not want this. I wanted peace and coexistence but had no option left. The Uchiha clan was planning to rebel against the village because we were seen with suspicion ever since the 9-tails' attack. Everyone thought we controlled the beast.
"I... I knew that if the Uchiha Clan rebelled, we would all die a very grueso death, but not before damaging the village as a whole, and even starting the 4th Shinobi war.
"I wanted to use my Mangekyo Sharingan's ability, Kotoamatsukami, the technique that allowed to enter the mind of any individual within my field of view, and manipulate them by giving them false experiences, making it seem as if they were doing things of their own free will. It is regarded as a Genjutsu of the highest calibre, due to the victim being entirely unaware that they are being manipulated.
"But... before I could use it, I was ambushed and my eyes were taken from . This is all I can tell, I do not want to sell the village secrets to soone I don't know. As long as I am alive, I will be a Konoha Shinobi." Shisui told his story, albeit incomplete.
But Shiroken didn't mind and neither did he care. He did not save the boy for his eyes, clan or intel. He just did it because the boy was injured.
"Hahaha... you can rest easy, child. I know more than you do about your village anyway. Maybe not about the current events but I did et both your 1st and 2nd Hokage. They were scums to be honest, with a very myopic and distorted view of peace. Your 2nd Hokage was the one who started the Konoha Police, wasn't he? And he made Uchiha do the job, and this created more distrust in the public for them.
"Your village was ant to fail from the start, as its foundation was based on friendship, but its entirety of existence only saw hatred. Anyway, you are welco to stay here if you want, or if you want we can send you to your village, but you will most likely get killed there, so choose your options wisely. Now, I need to et another Uchiha." Shiroken left him, heading to the girl he had saved.
Monari stayed though, she didn't et many Uchiha anyway and there weren't many left now.
"Know this, the Uchiha Clan was destined to fail. They tried to kill once when I was small. Just because I overheard so of them planning to kill their lord. I was just 10 back then. They killed my family when they couldn't find . A clan that does not have each other's back is not worth being a part of." She bellowed.
Shisui was surprised that there was another Uchiha here. "When did all this happen?"
"Umm... I think 80-90 years ago." She replied.
But this shocked and confused Shisui, "That's even before the formation of Konoha. But... you don't sound old."
She chuckled, "I am old in the number but not the body. We are a clan of special people, with special abilities. You will understand when you can see again. Have rest until then."
...
In the next room, Shiroken was talking to the little 13-year-old Uchiha girl. She was in a state of shock and sorrow.
She was hugging Shiroken's waist from her bed and crying loudly with no end in sight.
"WAAAAA..."
Shiroken patted her head, "Easy now, I know your pain."
"Why-Why did Itachi do that? I thought he was kind... It does not make sense..." She muttered.
"These are the answers you must work hard to find yourself. Itachi is still alive after all." He suggested.
*SNIFF SNIFF*
She held back her tears and nodded, "Yes, I must find him. I will go now."
He held her in her seat, "A boy who could kill the entire clan of Uchiha would be so easy to stop? Are you strong enough to stop him? Won't he just kill you at first sight?"
She seed to realise it now. Desperation seeped into her…
Suddenly her eyes started to bleed and the 3 tomoe started to revolve around.
Shiroken knew this was the evolution of her eyes.
Then all of a sudden, the pattern changes. A flower-like design appeared in her eye, with 5 red dots in the middle of it, surrounded by a circle of leaves.
"AH! WHAT'S HAPPENING?" She scread in pain.
"Calm down, you just awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. Just try not to use it or it will turn you blind." He advised her with a straight face. Nothing shocked him anymore, not after fighting a literal alien from space.
She knew about this legendary Sharingan but never thought she'd have it herself. But her focus was now on getting stronger, to find and catch Itachi.
"I want to go back to my village." Izumi requested.
*STEPS*
Monari entered, "Sure, go ahead if you want to get killed."
She was then told about the Uchiha massacre and the possible hand of the Hokage in it. Initially, she refused to accept it but when she was taken to the now blind Shisui, she accepted everything.
She was young and not a very strong Shinobi, so she never knew about the planned coup of the Uchiha clan. Now, she understood why Itachi killed the clan. But, how could she just accept the murder of her parents, the kids of the clan?
Shisui tried to calm her chaotic mind.
"I hope you are not angry with Itachi. He had no choice, it was either kill the clan or let it start a war and then get slowly killed, with the hatred for the Uchiha clan increased to the limit. If you want to bla soone, bla all sides. What happened was not the result of just a few weeks of tension. It ca into existence and increased ever since the defection of Madara Uchiha." Shisui told her. He knew Izumi a little. After all, to him, Itachi was like a little brother and it was obvious he would know the girl his brother was interested in.
"Then... what are you going to do?" She asked Shisui.
Shisui had no answer, "I don't know. I am nothing without my eyes. Maybe I can use Susanoo but that's it. For now, I will stay here, and try to understand this strange country. This place sounds so strange. And Lord Shiroken is supposed to be hundreds of years old, yet he sounds so young. I wonder who these people are."
*Cough*
"I am still here," Shiroken voiced. Shisui was probably unable to sense him and thought there were just 3 people in the room.
Shisui got shocked, "I... I didn't..."
"It's okay, I don't bite unreasonably. You talk to each other, I will go out now." He left them be.
At the mont, he had 4 people here. Three of them were from Konoha. But the small boy in a coma was still unknown. And the girl with Isobu was also asleep.
Shiroken went out to see the capital that had been made to honour the village of Dama. As he got to the streets, each Nidama clan mber would cheerfully greet him or try to show him what they do in the village. It was fairly easy to recognise a mber of the Nidama clan, as all Clan mbers had so extra visible muscles and were taller than the average person, this goes for female and kids too. On top of that, all of them wore an armband with 9 dots, interconnected with lines and all of it surrounded by a circle. It represented the 9 Saint Beasts and the halo of Shiro's dical abilities on their heads.
But, as Shiroken started to get to the outer regions of the capital, he saw people from different backgrounds. But, the most striking ones were a lot of redheads.
~Wait... are these people from the Uzumaki clan?~ He wondered.
He went and straightforwardly asked an old looking Uzumaki, sitting by a small shop. The shop was crowded with custors, but the family of the old man handled them, while he sat outside and looked at the busy streets.
Shiroken sat beside him on the bench and kindly asked, "When did you all from the Uzumaki clan arrive here?"
The Old man's eyes shined when he heard that. Shiroken imdiately knew this old man had nobody to talk to for a while and now had finally found an opportunity to speak to his heart's content.
