Shisui shook his head, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and mystery. "Itachi, this matter is more important than my body." As he said this, he took out a tattered scroll from his arms.

"What is this?" Itachi looked at the scroll in confusion.

"This is a forbidden scroll I got by chance. It records a powerful and dangerous eye technique." Shisui said slowly, staring into Itachi's eyes, "I know we have the responsibility of the village, but I feel that undercurrents are surging. We may face a huge crisis in the future. This power may be able to deal with it."

Itachi was shocked. Forbidden techniques often come with huge risks. "Shisui, using forbidden techniques may bring unpredictable consequences."

"I understand, but I have been studying it for a while, and it won't get out of control as long as it is controlled properly. Also, I hope that if something happens to me one day, you will take over and protect the village." Shisui handed the scroll to Itachi.

Itachi took the scroll after hesitating for a moment, "I understand, but you must take care of yourself." Shisui smiled, and the figures of the two under the moonlight seemed to foreshadow the upcoming changes.

It will cause panic among the tribe. But they have not given up on this idea and may take some action in private.”

Itachi clenched the scroll in his hand, his expression becoming grim, "What they are doing will only split the Uchiha clan. The situation inside and outside the village is already complicated, and we must not allow chaos inside."

"So you have to be careful. Yashiro and the others have always been jealous of your abilities. Now that they have finally got this opportunity, they will definitely not let it go easily." Shisui reminded.

"Okay, I understand. But the most urgent thing is to find out the secret of this forbidden technique." Itachi looked down at the scroll in his hand.

"Yes, I still have some ideas about this forbidden technique that I haven't had time to tell you." Shisui had just finished speaking when he suddenly looked around warily, "Someone is coming, let's talk about this for today."

After saying that, Shisui disappeared in a flash. Itachi also quickly used the instant body technique to leave the place. In the dark, several dark shadows quietly emerged.

"Humph, there really is something fishy going on. The aura just now was definitely Shisui. He actually dared to study forbidden techniques privately." One of the black shadows snorted coldly.

"It seems we have to find an opportunity to snatch the scroll." Another black shadow echoed in a low voice, and then the few of them disappeared into the darkness again.

Itachi took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, "Shisui, you don't have to do this. If you are discovered, you will be in great danger."

Shisui shook his head, his eyes determined, "We are all doing this for Konoha, for the future of Uchiha. I do this because I don't want to see my family go down the path of destruction."

At this moment, the air around them seemed to solidify, and a powerful chakra wave approached quietly.

"Oh no, they've discovered us!" Shisui's face changed.

Several ANBU members appeared before them, led by none other than the Yashiro's trusted confidant sent to monitor Itachi.

"Shisui, you are suspected of possessing a dangerous forbidden scroll. Come with us."

"You have no right to take this scroll. This concerns the safety of Konoha." Itachi stepped forward and said.

"Hmph, stop quibbling. Uchiha people have never been trustworthy." The confidant sneered.

Shisui took a step forward, his eyes flashing with determination, "Then don't blame me for being rude."

Instantly, Shisui activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, and the powerful power of his eyes shocked everyone. "If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for not caring about the friendship between us fellow villagers."

The Anbu members showed fear on their faces, but remained in a stalemate and the battle was about to break out.

Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight, a melodious flute sound suddenly came from the sky. Everyone was stunned. This sudden flute sound disturbed the tense atmosphere. A figure slowly floated down. It turned out to be the Third Hokage.

"Everyone stop." The Third Hokage said majestically. The Anbu members saluted one after another, and Shisui and Itachi breathed a sigh of relief. The Third Hokage looked at the scroll in Shisui's hand and said, "Shisui, although the forbidden technique you studied may endanger the village, I believe your starting point is to protect Konoha. But this matter cannot be stopped here."

Shisui responded respectfully: "Hokage, I am willing to accept any punishment, but please give me time to prove that this forbidden technique can be used to protect Konoha." The Third Hokage pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I will give you a month. If there is any unusual behavior during this period, I will not let you off easily."

Itachi looked at Shisui worriedly, but Shisui gave him a reassuring look. Although the Anbu members were unwilling, they could only obey the Hokage's order and retreat. Itachi knew in his heart that this month would be full of variables, not only whether Shisui could succeed, but also the threats from within the family and from secret enemies.

In that case, let's act as soon as possible. "Itachi said. The two turned and walked towards the settlement of the Uchiha clan. Along the way, Itachi always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching them from behind, but every time he turned around, there was no one.

As they approached the clan's territory, they found an oppressive atmosphere all around them. When they entered the clan, many of the clan members looked at them with suspicion. Itachi and Shisui walked straight to where the clan leader was.

When the clan leader saw them coming, he frowned and said, "Why are you two coming back at this time? Are you going to betray the family?" Shisui stepped forward and looked the clan leader straight in the eyes, "Clan leader, I have no intention of betraying the family, but launching a coup will only bring ruin to the Uchiha clan." As he spoke, Shisui quietly activated Kotoamatsukami.

However, an accident happened. The clan leader was not affected. Instead, he sneered: "Shisui, do you think I am defenseless? Someone has already told me your plan and gave me a way to resist your eye technique." Itachi was shocked and the situation became serious in an instant. At this time, the enemy hidden in the dark seemed to be ready to move.

Shisui was startled, but soon calmed down and asked, "Who told you?" The clan leader snorted, "You don't need to know that." At this time, Danzo slowly walked out from the shadows, "It was me." Shisui's eyes flashed with anger, "Danzo, why do you want to destroy the peaceful solution?" Danzo sneered, "The Uchiha clan has always been a hidden danger. If we don't take this opportunity to wipe them out, they will become a big problem in the future." Itachi clenched his fists, "Danzo, you are provoking a war." Danzo disagreed, "For the stability of Konoha, some sacrifices are inevitable." Just when the atmosphere was tense, the Third Hokage hurried over. "Enough, Danzo, stop your conspiracy." Danzo said dissatisfiedly, "Sarutobi, you are always so indecisive." The Third Hokage said seriously, "If the Uchiha really intends to rebel, it will not be too late to deal with it. We should not kill them now." Shisui looked at the Third Hokage and felt grateful. But Danzo did not intend to stop. He secretly signaled the Root Ninja to take action. For a moment, the battle was about to break out. Shisui knew that he had to stop it at this moment. He rushed towards Danzo regardless of the danger and tried to use Kotoamatsukami again, even at the cost of his life to save the situation.
