Chapter 169 Zhishui's Way of Survival

  The night is getting darker, and the full moon is rising.

  In the land of the Uchiha tribe, two teenagers, one big and one small, walked side by side on the street.

   Itachi suddenly raised his head and said softly, "Brother Zhishui, do you have something on your mind?"

"Um!?"

  Zhishui was frowning and thinking, when he heard Itachi's sudden question, he was slightly taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Is it so obvious?"

  Itachi nodded slightly, his black eyes were as calm as water, clearly reflecting a bitter face.

   "It's not a big problem."

  Zhishui rubbed his brows vigorously, and sighed, "I just heard some bad things from the villagers."

   "It's Mr. Orochimaru's business."

  To Shisui’s surprise, Itachi guessed it right away.

   "I also heard about Oshemaru-sensei, Hinata, and Yun Yin, but I only learned about it from my classmates."

   "It has been passed on to the ninja school, which is a bit unusual."

  Zhishui's brows were deeply frowned, smelling a bit of conspiracy.

  He is still young, but he has also experienced the big incident of Hatake Sakumo's suicide. The current atmosphere of public opinion is obviously caused by man-made.

   "It can't go on like this."

   Zhishui murmured, he was very preoccupied, usually he would separate from Itachi ahead of time, but this time he came outside Itachi's house.

   Itachi looked at Zhishui and suggested, "If Brother Zhishui doesn't understand, why not ask your father, he must know something."

   Shisui paused at the gate, followed Itachi to Fuyue.

  Listening to Shisui's explanation of his intention, Fuyue pondered for a moment, then said slowly,

   "This involves village secrets, I can't disclose it to you, but I can guarantee that Master Orochimaru will be fine."

  Zhishui frowned slightly, but the word 'village secret' made him daunted.

   "How about staying for dinner tonight?"

  Fuyue glanced at Itachi, his gaze was a little gentle,

   "Itachi has improved a lot during this time, and I am very grateful for your guidance during this time."

  Although some members of the family underestimate the quiet Shisui and feel that he is no longer Uchiha Shinsuke's opponent, Fugaku knows Shisui's strength very well, not to mention that his kaleidoscope Sharingan may still recover.

   "It's Itachi's talent is good, I didn't do anything."

  Zhishui shook his head, and under the disappointed eyes of the father and son, declined Fuyue's invitation to a family banquet,

   "Patriarch, I still have some things to do, so I won't disturb you today."

  Seeing that Zhishui deliberately distanced himself, Fuyue nodded slightly, but he didn't care. He knew Zhishui's temperament. If there was something wrong with the family, Zhishui would never sit idly by, and today's invitation was not a win-win.

  …

  At the gate, Itachi's small face was calm, but his eyes were obviously a little depressed. He was alert, and he also felt that Zhishui seemed unwilling to stay in his house for a long time.

  Shisui rubbed Itachi's head and said with a smile, "I don't really hate it, but there are some things that need to be scrupled."

  Nowadays, the Uchiha clan has untied the shackles of the past, and their power in the village can be said to be in full swing.

  But if it is too conspicuous, it will be targeted. After all, the "prestige" in a unit of time is rated to be conserved. How can it be installed by Uchiha?

  Shisui only saw that the village and Uchiha eased the relationship, so how could he want the family to have too many conflicts with other ninjas and ninjas.

  At this moment, it is necessary to be a bridge of communication between the two parties. He chose to stand on the opposite side of the family, defending outsiders, and suppressing powerful clansmen in conflicts.

  Bringing your elbows out will obviously be criticized by the clan, and to make other ninjas trust that they can give justice, they must also deliberately keep a distance from the clan while ensuring the right to speak within the clan.

   It is not easy to do this, but for the sake of the family and the village, Zhishui is willing to do so.

   Being estranged from the patriarch who represents the interests of the family is just one of them. If he had to get to know the future patriarch of the family, Shisui would not approach Itachi on purpose.

  Of course, after clearly realizing Itachi's temperament, Shisui treats him as a younger brother.

   Smiling and waving to Itachi, Shisui walked on the street and disappeared into the night after a while.

  …

   On the way home, Zhishui was thinking about the information revealed by the patriarch, when he passed a corner, he stopped suddenly.

   "Tsk tsk tsk...very keen perception."

  A slender figure walked out of the shadows with a sinister smile, Shisui was slightly startled, and asked in surprise, "Master Orochimaru?"

   I didn't expect the person who troubled me to appear in front of me so easily.

  Just as he was about to ask, Orochimaru waved his hand, "I'll talk about what I want to say later, I'm here to fulfill the agreement this time."

  Flipping his hand, he took out a small nutrient tank from the scroll, and in the light green solution, an eyeball floated up and down.

  Although there is no difference between this thing and human beings, Zhishui recognized it as his own eyes at a glance, a little unbelievable, "You mean, its eyesight has recovered?"

   In this case, in fact, Shisui has long given up any hope, not only because of medical technology, but also because of his belief in Orochimaru's character.

  And even from the perspective of the village, it seems that it is not a good thing for him to have a Kaleidoscope Sharingan. Uchiha's recent power has been too great.

   "Only one piece of vision has been restored, and it will take some time for the remaining one."

   Orochimaru saw that Shisui didn't seem to be that happy. After thinking about it, he smiled,

   "Don't worry, not many people know about this matter, and the old man doesn't even know. Whether to conceal or expose depends entirely on your own thinking."

   "Thank you, Oshemaru-sama." Shisui heaved a sigh of relief before accepting the eye replacement surgery calmly.

Seeing Orochimaru put away the replaced Sharingan, Shisui's heart moved, but he didn't say much, he tested his kaleidoscope Sharingan, and said in surprise, "What's going on, the pupils of my eyes The strength has actually increased?"

  Oshemaru laughed and said, "It's normal. If you undergo physical strengthening surgery, your pupil power will continue to rise, but this will not work until both of them recover."

  Yamato’s Chakra, which symbolizes Yang Dun, is not as powerful as the Yin Dun of Kaleidoscope Sharingan itself, but the two have initially merged, producing a little omnipotent power, which will naturally promote the improvement of pupil power.

   Not only that, Yamato's own physique will also be stimulated, which is why Orochimaru left the Sharingan.

After Shisui tested the Kaleidoscope Sharingan for a while, he restored it to its original state. He looked at Orochimaru, pondered for a moment, and asked, "I heard some news about you in the village in the past two days. They explain…"

   "I know about this matter, and I was the one who caused it."

   Orochimaru smiled, and directly summarized the content of the meeting that day, without Fuyue's scruples.

   "I see." Zhishui suddenly realized.

   "Compared to this matter, there is one thing I need your help with."

  A glint of light flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, "In a few days, the pocket will attack the roots..."
