Chapter 37: Shisui’s Advice

By the time Shimura Danzo reacted, Uchiha Shisui had already controlled the skeleton hand and gently inserted it into the stone wall next to him, just like inserting it into tofu.

With the skeleton’s arm exerting force gently, Uchiha Shisui’s body was easily lifted up and rushed towards the cave entrance.

When the Root members heard Danzo Shimura’s order and reacted, their kunai, shurikens and various hidden weapons were all bounced away by the skeleton version of Susanoo.

Since Uchiha Shisui was protected by the skeleton version of Susanoo, Danzo Shimura knew that even if he chased after him, he would not be able to keep Uchiha Shisui.

Danzo waved his hand and asked his men to chase after them, while he followed slowly behind. Although it was unlikely that he could keep Uchiha Shisui, what if, what if the time of Uchiha Shisui’s Susanoo was up, wouldn’t he be able to pick him up?

. . . . . .

Uchiha Shisui endured the pain, controlled the skeleton arm, and led him to the cave entrance.

After a short while, Uchiha Shisui finally escaped from the cave. Shisui looked up at the sky and felt as if he was in another world. The sky was still the same sky, but the feeling was different.

Although he had escaped from Shimura Danzo’s Root base, Uchiha Shisui knew that now was not the time to relax. The pursuers behind would be here soon, so he had to run away quickly.

Moreover, Uchiha Shisui could feel that his Susanoo was about to expire, and his Mangekyō Sharingan was now causing him to twitch in pain. If it weren’t for his previous training, he might have collapsed.

And now, it was his own body that could no longer hold on. Uchiha Shisui had also tried before escaping. He had already drunk all the antidotes he carried with him, but it had no effect at all. Moreover, the poison in him seemed to be angered by his act of drinking the antidote, and the speed of its invasion was accelerating.

Uchiha Shisui did not delay at the cave entrance, and headed directly towards the Uchiha clan’s territory in Konoha Village. Otherwise, if his Susanoo timer expired after a while, and the pursuers caught up with him, that would be bad.

······

The Root’s base is still quite far from Konoha Village. Otherwise, if it is seen by the wandering Konoha villagers, or by the Genin who take on some collecting missions around Konoha Village, and then leaked out, it would be bad.

In fact, this distance is just a piece of cake for a jonin, but for Uchiha Shisui now, it seems out of reach.

As he got closer and closer to Konoha Village, Uchiha Shisui felt that he was getting closer and closer to his limit. He had lost consciousness below his chest. The poison in his body had already attacked there. Once it reached his heart, he would die. Moreover, Susanoo had reached the limit of what it could endure. Shisui only felt a throbbing pain in his head, which was a sign that his mental strength was about to be exhausted.

Uchiha Shisui only felt that his mind was also in a trance. Now he could still control Susanoo to run away, relying entirely on instinct and the little clarity he maintained with all his strength.

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui suddenly felt a pain in his heart, which was because the poisonous insect had attacked his heart. With this pain, Uchiha Shisui finally couldn’t hold on any longer, and the skeleton version of Susanoo also disbanded. Shisui’s body fell heavily to the ground. When his body fell to the ground, Shisui’s mind regained a little clarity, but his body had reached its limit and could no longer move.

“Alas, in the end, you still didn’t keep your promise to Qiu Shan? I hope Qiu Shan can use this opportunity to lead the tribe out of the fate of being exterminated.”

Uchiha Shisui opened his eyes. His body was no longer able to keep his Sharingan open, so now he only had black pupils and black eyes. He looked at the birds flying in the sky and smiled with difficulty. He felt his eyes getting darker and darker, and his consciousness became more and more blurred. He felt as if he was about to slide into an endless abyss.

Just when Uchiha Shisui was about to lose consciousness, he suddenly heard Uchiha Kyouyama’s voice calling him. Uchiha Shisui thought he was hallucinating, but at this time a clearer shouting voice came into his ears again, letting Shisui know that Uchiha Kyouyama was coming to find him. He tried to open his mouth, but could only make a weak sound.

Just when Uchiha Shisui was anxious and afraid that Uchiha Qiushan had not noticed him, he suddenly felt the ground around him shaking, and then his vision was blocked. Uchiha Shisui tried hard to focus his eyes, and what he saw was Uchiha Qiushan’s anxious face.

Uchiha Qiushan saw that Shisui didn’t even have the strength to speak, so he quickly used the Palm Immortal Technique to check his body to see if he could be cured.

When Uchiha Qiushan’s Palm Magic came into contact with Shisui’s body, he felt something was wrong and quickly tore off Shisui’s clothes on his chest. He saw that his whole body was purple from poisoning and his cells were already necrotic. The Palm Magic was no longer able to save him.

When Uchiha Shisui saw Qiu Shan’s expression, he understood what was going on. He knew his own body, and he didn’t think that Shimura Danzo would lie to him. If he said that others couldn’t save him, then it was likely that he really couldn’t be saved.

Uchiha Shisui tried to pull the corners of his mouth, but he could only whisper: “My agreement with you is complete. I have brought my body back intact, and the rest is up to you.”

When Uchiha Qiushan saw Shisui’s appearance, although he knew that he had a backup plan, even if Uchiha Shisui died, he would probably appear in front of him alive and kicking in a few hours, but he still couldn’t control the sadness in his heart.

Then, Uchiha Shisui tilted his head and said to the boy who had been standing beside him from the beginning: “Itachi, take good care of yourself in the future. Don’t think too much. If you encounter any problems, you can ask your brother Qiu Shan. He has a smart mind. Don’t forget that you still have a younger brother to take care of. Only by taking care of yourself can you take care of others.”

It turned out that the Uchiha clan members who followed Uchiha Qiushan this time, and Uchiha Itachi who returned from a mission a few days ago, heard that they were here to save their most respected brother Shisui, so they followed together. Uchiha Qiushan had been thinking about Shisui, so he didn’t notice that Uchiha Itachi had sneaked in.

When Uchiha Itachi saw that his closest brother Shisui was about to die, he seemed unable to accept it. Although his expression did not change much, his clenched fists and shrinking pupils revealed his inner unrest.
