Chapter 7 How far into the future have your eyes seen?
Uchiha Shisui's heart wavered, but he immediately forced himself to escape this thought.
Perhaps, he dared not think any further.
"We have plenty of time to discuss issues like the village, war, and justice, but I'm here today because of the villager you killed..."
"Including just now, I personally witnessed you beat a thief so badly that both of his legs suffered comminuted fractures."
"Such methods are far too cruel."
Chiyu ignored him, finished her pancake, and looked at Uchiha Shisui's.
"Do you want some or not?"
"I...am not very hungry..."
Qianyu reached out and took it, stuffed it into her mouth, and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.
"If you haven't figured it out yourself, don't come here to discuss it with me."
"The reason I'm discussing the issue of war and justice with you is because we've already discussed the question you wanted to ask."
Uchiha Shisui was taken aback: "When?"
"The elderly couple who burned their own food."
Uchiha Shisui was startled.
He understood what Qianyu meant.
From the perspective of the Uchiha Tessho couple, Chiba's approach was to eliminate the problem once and for all, eradicate evil completely, and protect their lives.
They were naturally extremely grateful to Chiyu.
however……
"You're right. From the perspective of the Teyaki couple, they would probably wholeheartedly agree with what you did, Chiyu."
"But even the wicked may have a chance to reform..."
Qianyu finally revealed a mocking sneer.
"This is the difference between you and me."
"You chose to stand on the side of the evildoers."
"And I choose to stand on the side of the good people."
Uchiha Shisui felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his whole body trembled, and he could no longer utter a word.
Qianyu, however, pressed on relentlessly.
"On the battlefield, your justice is the survival of the fittest."
"In life, you find yourself taking the side of the villain."
"Do you know who else will choose the same path?"
"demon."
Uchiha Shisui felt a surge of anger rising to the sky for no apparent reason.
boom!
He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly.
"You executioner, how dare you call me a demon?!"
"Executioner? When it comes to killing, you've killed more than ten times as many people as I have."
"Besides, I only killed evil people. What about the people you killed?"
"Can you guarantee they're all bad people?"
Uchiha Shisui slumped back down, his lips trembling slightly.
Chiba finally finished off Uchiha Shisui's pancake.
Then, without any hesitation, he drank his bowl of soup clean.
After finishing her meal, Qianyu clapped her hands and stood up.
"Uncle Hand-Roasted Meat, he's treating us today."
"Alright, Lady Chiyu, are you leaving?"
"Well, it's time to continue patrolling the village."
"Alright, take care. You're welcome to come anytime; our doors are always open for you..."
Qianyu rarely showed a smile, nodded and walked out.
Uchiha Kyo, expressionless, extended his hand towards Uchiha Shisui.
Uchiha Shisui gave a wry smile, took out his money pouch, and paid the bill.
He walked out the door, following closely behind Qianyu, and lowered his voice.
"Chiba, even if it's not for the sake of so-called justice..."
"You should know the answer in your heart, right?"
"The current situation in the village is like a tightly strung string, with undercurrents of suspicion and distrust between the higher-ups and our Uchiha clan, which could break completely at any moment."
"At such a critical moment, why couldn't you have restrained yourself a little?"
"This is for the sake of the Uchiha clan, and also for the sake of the entire Hidden Leaf Village."
"Do you really want to trigger an irreversible end?"
Chiyu gave Uchiha Shisui a deep look.
"Since you just treated me to dinner..."
"I'll just say one more thing to you."
"Uchiha Shisui, listen up..."
Chiyu said, word by word, "Even if my actions completely ignite a rift between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha leadership, or even lead to a rebellion, mutual slaughter, and both sides suffering heavy losses..."
"This is the most tragic ending you've come to believe in..."
"Compared to the ending that was originally destined..."
"It would still be ten thousand times better."
Uchiha Shisui was terrified.
"What are you saying?"
Qianyu said indifferently, "Don't you understand?"
"The ending that was originally destined was a thousand times more cruel, bloody, brutal, heinous, and disgusting than you can imagine."
"So... believe me, if I can incite a rebellion within the Uchiha clan, that would be the most fortunate thing for the Uchiha clan."
After saying this, Chiba ignored Uchiha Shisui, straightened her uniform collar, and left on her own.
Uchiha Shisui was deeply shocked.
He stared at Qianyu's retreating figure and finally couldn't help but shout it out.
"Uchiha Senba..."
"Just how far into the future do your eyes see?!"
The only response he received was Chiyu's increasingly distant figure.
Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but tremble all over...
Red Gold and Purple Lightning, two of Uchiha Shisui's followers, stepped forward, looking at the somewhat hysterical Uchiha Shisui with great confusion.
What exactly did that man say to Lord Shisui?
To think that the strongest fighter in the Uchiha clan could be so flustered...
……
Chiba does not like Uchiha Shisui.
According to his theory, Uchiha Shisui might not actually be a bad person.
But he was a fool.
To deliberately reveal the secret of his Kotoamatsukami Mangekyou Sharingan in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura is tantamount to courting death.
Kotoamatsukami can unconsciously manipulate the will and thoughts of others.
For rulers, this was an absolute weapon they had always dreamed of.
However, no ruler would ever allow such a powerful tool for brainwashing to fall into the hands of anyone other than himself.
Even if you think you are absolutely loyal.
His eventual tragic suicide was essentially rooted in his own stupidity.
Uchiha Shisui was certainly very powerful.
But strength doesn't represent everything.
Even the most powerful person can be a fool.
"Captain Chiba!"
As he was pondering, two figures rushed over; they were two of his subordinates from his squad.
Uchiha Aoki, Uchiha Yamakaze.
Qianyu frowned: "You two are following the clan leader's orders not to come and report to me."
"Why are you suddenly appearing? Has something major happened?"
The two were panting and exchanged a glance.
"……yes."
"Walk."
Qianyu acted swiftly and decisively, without uttering a single wasted word, immediately rushing towards the direction the two had come from.
"Captain Chiba, we haven't said what it is yet..."
"Let's talk as we walk."
Qianyu knew that since the two were in such a hurry, something big must have happened, and there could be no delay.
The wind howled in my ears.
Qianyu pushed her speed to the limit.
Two subordinates chased after him frantically: "Captain, please calm down. This matter is too sensitive. I think it would be best to consult the clan leader first..."
Qianyu said in a deep voice, "Speak!"
Uchiha Aoki then spoke hesitantly.
"Yes, something happened to the Sarutobi clan..."
"The Sarutobi clan?"
Qianyu's heart stirred, and she understood what the two meant by being too sensitive.
but……
so what?
