Chapter 799 The Strongest Uchiha Acts

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

“No… don’t… why… why are you…?!” The fact that Uchiha Shisui would take action was out of Mizuki’s expectations.

According to his prediction, after having accused Hyuga Kuroto of being a traitor, at most, he will be enquired by the village in regards to the details of what he heard. For the inquiries, he already had a solid story ready with him, and since Hyuga Aoyama had promised to help him, with the support of the Hyuga Clan, he would have been able to avoid anything too troublesome and get promoted to the rank of a Jonin.

After becoming a Jonin, and with his reputation restored, Mizuki planned to continue to work at the Ninja Academy. By then, Kuroto would have lost his position as the Principal of Konoha Ninja Academy, and he would be under the protection of the Hyuga Clan, so even if Kuroto wanted revenge, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.

This was all well thought out, and he believed that his plan would be successful, but it never occurred to him that Uchiha Shisui would interfere, and now everything has become a mess.

Uchiha Shisui will be the most benefited if Kuroto loses the position of the Principal of Konoha Ninja Academy because the person who is most likely to inherit that position is none other than him, yet he chose to support Kuroto, and that too in such a reckless manner!

“Don’t… don’t come here!” Mizuki panicked and screamed as he tried to hide behind Elder Aoyama.

Facing Uchiha Shisui, all the courage and arrogance in Mizuki’s heart blew away, he really didn’t dare to face someone like Uchiha Shisui, that too in the situation when Shisui is ready to use his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Elder Aoyama was no different from Mizuki, feeling Shisui’s killing intent, his back was covered in a cold sweat, but unlike Mizuki, he believed that even someone like Uchiha Shisui wouldn’t dare to touch him, so he calmed his nerves and spoke in a stern tone, “Uchiha Shisui… what are you trying to do? Have you forgotten that this is council…!”

Shisui ignored Elder Aoyama’s words and didn’t stop his footsteps.

The unfazed expression of Shisui made Aoyama’s heart shudder, he gulped nervously as he took a few steps back in fear.

Only now did Elder Aoyama–who has never really faced any strong enemy in his life–realize how terrible it is to face a Uchiha with Mangekyou Sharingan.

Within in Hyuga district, he can slander the Uchiha Clan and their Mangekyou Sharingan all he wants, but now that he is face-to-face with Uchiha Shisui, he realizes that just being able to speak under this tremendous pressure takes a lot of courage.

In the face of this heavy pressure, Elder Aoyama fell out of breath and his body subconsciously moved to the side, making way for Shisui to approach Mizuki.

All the members of the council also looked at everything happening before them with blank expressions.

Although Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Asuma have repeatedly mentioned how much influence Kuroto has on the young Uchiha, such a response from Shisui on Kuroto’s casual instruction was still out of Sandaime Hokage’s expectations.

Tsunade and Jiraiya looked at each other with gloomy expressions. Although Shisui’s actions were not completely out of their expectations, they were still quite unhappy with how Shisui made a move without Hokage’s permission. And now that Shisui has moved, there is nothing they can do… currently, Shisui is only moving against Mizuki, if they make any wrong move, the lives of others present in the Council will also be in danger.

The one most shocked is undoubtedly Fugaku.

He couldn’t understand Shisui’s thoughts. Shisui would most likely become the next Principal of the Konoha Ninja Academy if Hyuga Kuroto loses his position. Yet Shisui is taking action to help Kuroto, and that too without consulting him, the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan.

Sitting across Fugaku, Hiashi’s expression also changed. Hiashi had considered a lot of emergency scenarios that may arise, even the chances of Kuroto taking action against Mizuki or Elder Aoyama were also taken into account, however, the possibility of Shisui taking action was not something he thought of.

More than shock, Hiashi is confused. This is really absurd. Why would the Mangekyou bearer of the Uchiha Clan decide to act upon Kuroto’s casual instruction?

The Patriarchs of Ino-Shika-Cho also felt absurd, they even noticed the desperate expression on the face of Hiashi, but none of them dared to make a sound upon noting the killing intent on Shisui’s body.

Everyone realized that this was no bluff, Uchiha Shisui was really serious. There is no telling how Shisui will react if someone interferes with his actions. Offending Uchiha Shisui just to help the Mizuki is really not a wise choice, no matter how you look at it.

Let alone the Patriarchs, even the Anbu standing on guard didn’t dare to move.

Although their duty is to make sure that no such situation occurs, however, that is only under normal circumstances. Who in their right mind would try to stop Uchiha Shisui?

Since no one made any attempt to stop Shisui, in the silent hall, only the sound of Shisui’s footsteps and Mizuki’s continuous begging resounded, “This… this is a misunderstanding… don’t come here… don’t… you… you… why are you…!”

Ignoring Mizuki’s begging, Shisui aligned his gaze with Mizuki’s as his Mangekyou Sharingan whirled.

Shisui didn’t have to make any effort and Mizuki was already under his Genjutsu.

With Mizuki under Genjutsu, his begging and crying disappeared. Kuroto looked in the direction of Elder Aoyama and questioned with a scornful smirk, “Answer me… why are you trying to frame me?”

Mizuki answered with a blank expression, “In order to get my revenge. Because of you, my reputation was ruined and I lost my job at the Konoha Ninja Academy, so I wanted to do the same to you.”

“Ohh?” muttered Kuroto as if surprised, and asked, “And how is Hyuga Aoyama involved in this?”

Mizuki answered, “When I was frustrated and resentful towards you, Hyuga Aoyama approached me and convinced me to frame you.”

Mizuki then explained the entire process of how he got in contact with Elder Hyuga Aoyama and how the two of them made the plan of framing Kuroto.

Seeing that Mizuki was confessing everything, Elder Aoyama’s face turned livid and he shouted hysterically, “He… he is talking nonsense. This is all a lie…! I had no part in whatever his plan was! This had nothing to do with me, I was just trying to protect the village from a traitor.”

Hiashi lowered his head in shame.

Kuroto ignored Elder Aoyama’s yelling, and asked another question from Mizuki, “Why did you think of using Orochimaru to frame me?”

There was no hesitation in Mizuki’s tone of voice as he answered, “Orochimaru-sama once mentioned to me that you are a troublesome guy. I have to be especially careful when dealing with you. I wanted to ask Orochimaru-sama for help, however, I couldn’t get in touch with him this time because of some reason, so, I just decided to use Orochimaru-Sama’s name. You were his former disciple, so using his name made more sense.”

Hearing Mizuki’s confession, the expression of everyone in the Conference once again changed. Based on what he said, it is not difficult to determine that Mizuki often contacts Orochimaru.

It turns out that the person who was accusing Kuroto of being a traitor is actually the traitor himself.

This confession of Mizuki shocked even the Hyuga Elder. Aoyama looked at Mizuki in disbelief as he questioned, “You… you are Orochimaru’s eyeliner in Konoha?”
