Chapter 524

Shikaku Nara looked solemn.

Yes.

Through Hiruzen Sarutobi's simple narration, he could keenly perceive that something was wrong from these clues.

But, at the same time.

To truly understand all this, more evidence was needed to support it.

He couldn't define it hastily.

"The Uchiha, something is wrong, huh." Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly. "Ask directly, Shikaku."

His eyes flickered.

Actually, Shikaku Nara didn't even need to speak; he could actually vaguely perceive that the things the Uchiha were making a fuss about were very wrong.

However.

Too many things had happened in the past two days; Shisui was now even bleeding and sacrificing to fight against Jin Uchiha.

Even an Uchiha elder had died, which made him relax his vigilance slightly.

But...

Hearing Shikaku Nara say this, his heart tightened again.

Could it be that he had really been deceived?

He put down the teacup, lit a pipe of tobacco, and subconsciously sat up straight.

After puffing out smoke for a while, he prepared to listen to Shikaku's guess.

"Hokage-sama."

"When Shisui found you last night, how exactly did you talk?"

"Is it convenient to tell me?"

Shikaku Nara didn't talk nonsense.

As a wise man, even when thinking about problems, one must understand the specific situation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was calm.

If it were someone else, it would definitely not work!

How could the Hokage's authority be questioned by others?

But, Shikaku could.

After all, he was a strategist.

However.

Hearing this question, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but fall silent, and after a long time, he shook his head helplessly.

"How did we talk?"

"Heh, we didn't talk at all!"

"Shisui came up and said a lot of things, and then revealed his Mangekyo before I could even speak."

"Seeing the Mangekyo, my heart was in chaos."

"After all, Shikaku, you know that the Uchiha's Mangekyo can be called the ultimate weapon."

"And while I was in a panic, I don't know how, but I agreed in a muddle."

"But at the time I thought, agreeing didn't really matter."

"Shisui has a Mangekyo, but Jin Uchiha also has one; how could it be so simple for Shisui to build a faction?"
