"Ahem, who are you? Why did you save ?"
Shisui was in a state of confusion. He could only feel soone had saved him, and that he hadn't died!
But,
He no longer wanted to live!
Who saved him?
It could have been the injuries or perhaps the poison from Danzo that made him unable to think straight!
From the mont he was saved,
He remained in a dazed state!
"Shisui, don't you rember? You still owe an answer!" Genya looked down at the faint Shisui. During this ti, he had used dical ninjutsu to treat Shisui's injuries, ensuring that he wouldn't die.
"Answer? What answer do I owe you?" Shisui couldn't hear clearly as if his ears were covered in a layer of oil, making his hearing muffled. His mind was in a fog.
He didn't even hear Genya's voice!
Instead, he kept thinking in his mind!
Who did he owe an answer to? What answer?
He couldn't rember!
Finally, Shisui let out a bitter laugh and shook his head. "Answer? I'm afraid I can't give you one right now!"
Right now, he was at the end of his strength.
"No, you can give it to ." Genya said seriously, staring at the dazed Shisui. He asked again, "I'll ask you again. Between the village and the clan, which side will you choose?"
Buzz~~
These words exploded in Shisui's mind!
Village or clan, which to choose?
The weak Shisui suddenly sat up straighter. His hollow eyes fixed on Genya, as if trying to see through him!
"Are you... Uchiha Genya?" he asked, his voice filled with cautious inquiry.
At this mont, countless questions raced through his mind. How did Genya end up below the cliff? And why did he save him?
Also,
Genya's strength doesn't seem weak at all!
One question after another flashed through his thoughts.
It was as if the mont Genya confird his identity, all these questions would spill out.
"Heh... it seems you haven't forgotten our agreent," Genya said, looking at Shisui who suddenly seed more awake. He smiled. "I told you I'd ask you this question again. It might have been a few days, or maybe even years. Now, I'm asking you again!"
"How did you end up at the cliff..." Shisui's mind was buzzing, his thoughts muddled. He still naively wanted to ask Genya, but—
Genya cut him off, not allowing him to continue asking questions. Instead, he directly asked, "Answer this question first. Which side will you choose? The village, or the clan?"
Hearing Genya's serious tone, Shisui beca serious as well.
The village... or the clan?
Which side should he choose?
Shisui suppressed his confusion and thought carefully.
Who should he choose?
Should he still choose the village?
He had done so much for the village, even willing to use his ultimate genjutsu to change the Uchiha clan's mindset, to prevent them from rebelling.
But what did he get in return?
Danzo's encirclent and suppression?
For his Mangekyō, Danzo even tried to kill him, and before that, he had already started hunting Uchiha clan mbers, using their Sharingans for experints!
And worse,
He used the Sharingan to perform forbidden techniques of the Uchiha clan to deal with Shisui.
In that mont, as he jumped off the cliff, he thought of many things, many!
Did the Third Hokage not know about all of Danzo's actions? He was the Hokage, after all, in charge of all the intelligence.
How could Hiruzen Sarutobi not know about what Danzo Shimura had done?
I'm afraid...
Everything was probably allowed by him, wasn't it?
And with Danzo's encirclent, there must have been so involvent from the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!
If Sarutobi hadn't approved, Danzo wouldn't have dared to act so boldly against so close to Konoha.
Why hadn't I realized this before?
Now that I've figured it out, it may be too late...
Just a mont ago, when I was being surrounded by the Root, I still held back, trying to avoid too much conflict. How laughable...
They wanted my life, yet I kept thinking about the village!
In the end, I lost my right eye and ended up jumping off the cliff.
It was my only choice...
If I hadn't thrown myself off that cliff, things would have beco even more chaotic. When the Third Hokage intervened, the Uchiha clan might have really been wiped out from the village.
The silence in the cave lasted for a long ti before Itachi finally spoke: "Are you asking if I would choose the village or the clan?"
Uchiha Shisui leaned back against the wall, as if losing all strength. It seed like he had given up, or maybe he had made a firm decision: "I've already given everything for Konoha. The mont I jumped off the cliff, Uchiha Shisui died. If I had the chance to live again, I'd choose to live for myself, to live for my clan. But unfortunately... I think this is where it ends for ."
After saying this, Shisui suddenly coughed violently, even spitting out blood!
He couldn't hold on any longer.
"Heh... You choose your clan, huh? Looks like you've figured things out," Genya said with a smile. "It seems that after facing death, you've co to understand so things. The clan still needs you!"
"Needs ? I'm down to my last breath, how can I help the clan?" Shisui closed his eyes and once again showed a trace of sorrow. "If you hadn't saved just now, I'd probably be dead by now."
As he spoke, Shisui seed to recall sothing and asked, "Did you already guess that I would jump off the cliff? Or was it just a coincidence that you were waiting below, passing by?"
This question echoed in his mind. He couldn't understand how Genya had saved him.
Did Genya already predict that he would jump off the cliff?
It was hard to understand.
"It wasn't a coincidence that I passed by, and I wasn't waiting down here for you!" Genya said, stressing each word. "Actually, I didn't expect them to attack you at this mont!"
If he had predicted that Danzo would act so early, he would've already set a plan in motion! He would have brought back an unhard Shisui, and taken care of Danzo and his people. But now... he could only bring back a crippled Shisui!
"Then how did you save ?" Shisui was stunned, and his heart was uneasy.
If it wasn't a coincidence and not a well-planned move, how did he save him?
"Have you heard of the Flying Thunder God Technique?" When Genya said this, his previously gloomy mood lightened. "You should be thankful. If I hadn't happened to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique on my way here, you'd probably already be dead!"
When he was coming today, he had just learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, or else Shisui would really have been finished!
At the sa ti, Genya also proved that he could indeed practice the Flying Thunder God Technique!
But after saving Shisui, he tried to contact the Flying Thunder God seal he had marked within his clan, but there was no response at all! It seed that his understanding of the Flying Thunder God Technique was still lacking.
"Flying Thunder God Technique?"
When Uchiha Shisui heard this, he repeated it over and over, his face filled with shock.
