Chapter 289: 282: Death Of The Believer
Late May.
Shisui received an order and discreetly entered the conference room inside the Hokage Building. To his surprise, not only the Third Hokage but also the advisors Koharu, Homura and Danzo were present.
Despite the unexpected gathering, Shisui refrained from asking any questions. These people were comrades-in-arms of the Third Hokage and Uchiha Kagami, his ancestor, making them trustworthy elders. Moreover, as a secret member of the Hokage's Anbu, this wasn't a particularly sensitive matter.
"Shisui, I summoned you here because of the Uchiha clan internal affairs. According to Itachi's report, the radical faction are planning an operation and they intend to use a large amount of exploding tags to attack various important facilities in the village, triggering chaos. Is this accurate?" Homura inquired.
"Not only that, they also plan to hold the Jinchuriki hostage, releasing the Nine Tails." Danzo added, casting a heavy atmosphere.
Shisui didn't plan on concealing anything, nodded, "Yes, they are indeed planning to do this, with the official action scheduled for the 20th of next month."
Concealing such critical information after Itachi's report would be absurd. Moreover, even if the information was shared, Shisui didn't think it is a problem. He already had a plan to guide the Uchiha clan through this crisis.
Hiruzen and Danzo fell into silence, while Koharu and Homura exchanged hushed words. Shisui vaguely heard phrases like "timely intervention" and "forced suppression."
"In other words, we have less than a month left, right?. Time is of the essence. I propose immediate action against the Uchiha clan. With Itachi as our inside support, suppressing the Uchiha clan is feasible." Danzo declared firmly.
