Uchiha Shisui's heart wavered, but he immediately forced himself to avoid such thoughts.
Perhaps, he didn't dare to think any deeper.
"Regarding the village, war, and justice, we have plenty of other time to discuss those issues, but I'm here today about you beating a villager to death..."
"Including just now, I also personally saw you beat a thief's legs into comminuted fractures."
"Such methods are too vicious."
Qianyu didn't pay him any mind, finished his pancake, and looked towards Uchiha Shisui's portion.
"Are you going to eat?"
"I... I'm not very hungry..."
Yagami reached out, took it, and stuffed it into his mouth, eating in big bites.
"If you haven't figured it out yourself, don't come and discuss it with me."
"The reason I discussed the issues of war and justice with you is because the question you wanted to ask has already been discussed with you just now."
Uchiha Shisui was startled: "When?
"The hand-grilled elderly couple."
Uchiha Shisui's heart trembled.
He understood Yagami's meaning.
From the perspective of the hand-grilled Uchiha elderly couple, Yagami's actions were a permanent solution to eradicate evil, eliminating it completely and protecting their lives.
They were naturally extremely grateful to Yagami.
However...
"You're right, from the perspective of the hand-grilled couple, they might indeed strongly agree with your actions, Yagami."
"But those evil people might not necessarily be without a chance for redemption..."
Yagami finally revealed a mocking cold smile.
"This is the difference between you and me."
"You choose to stand on the side of the wicked."
"And I choose to stand on the side of the good."
Uchiha Shisui felt as if struck by lightning, his body trembled, and he couldn't utter another word.
Yagami, however, pressed on relentlessly.
"On the battlefield, your justice is the survival of the fittest."
"In life, you stand on the side of the wicked."
"Do you know who else chooses the same path?"
"Demons."
Uchiha Shisui felt an inexplicable surge of anger shoot straight up into the sky.
Bang!
He slammed the table and stood up abruptly.
"You executioner, how dare you call me a demon?!"
"Executioner? Speaking of killing, you've killed more than ten times what I have."
"Moreover, I only kill the wicked. What about the people you killed?"
"Can you guarantee they were all wicked?"
Uchiha Shisui's lips trembled slightly as he slumped back down.
Yagami finally finished Uchiha Shisui's portion of the pancake completely.
Afterward, he even unceremoniously drank his bowl of soup dry.
After eating and drinking his fill, Yagami clapped his hands and stood up.
"Uncle Teshiwake, he's paying today."
"Alright, Yagamk-sama, are you leaving?"
"Yes, it's time to continue patrolling the village."
"Alright, alright, please take your time, you're welcome anytime, the door here is always open for you..."
Yagamk rarely showed a hint of a smile, nodded, and walked out.
Uchiha Jing expressionlessly 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, followed closely behind Yagamk, and lowered his voice.
"Yagamk, even if it's not for the sake of the so-called struggle for justice..."
"You should understand it clearly in your heart, right?"
"Currently, the situation in the village, there's an undercurrent between the higher-ups and our Uchiha Clan, mutual suspicion, like a tightly stretched string that could snap completely at any moment."
"At such a critical juncture, why can't you restrain yourself a little?"
"This is for the sake of the Uchiha Clan, and also for the entire Konoha Village."
"Do you really want to cause a disastrous outcome?"
Yagamk looked deeply at Uchiha Shisui.
"For the sake of you paying just now..."
"I'll say one more thing to you."
"Uchiha Shisui, listen carefully..."
Yagami said word by word: "Even if my actions truly completely ignite the split between the Uchiha Clan and the Konoha higher-ups, or even lead to rebellion, mutual slaughter, and both sides suffering heavy losses..."
"This most tragic outcome you believe in your heart..."
"Compared to the originally destined outcome..."
"Is still ten thousand times better."
Uchiha Shisui was greatly alarmed.
"You, what are you talking about?"
Yagami said indifferently: "Don't you understand yet?"
"The originally destined outcome is ten thousand times more cruel, more bloody, more tyrannical, more appalling, and more disgusting than you can imagine."
"So... believe me, if I can cause the Uchiha Clan's rebellion, for the Uchiha Clan, that would be the most fortunate thing."
After saying this, Yagami no longer paid attention to Uchiha Shisui, straightened the collar of his uniform with both hands, and left on his own.
Uchiha Shisui was deeply shocked.
He looked at Yagami's back and finally couldn't help but shout out.
"Uchiha Yagami..."
"How far into the future have those eyes of yours seen?!"
Only Yagami's increasingly distant back answered him.
Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but tremble all over...
Akagane and Shiden, the two followers of Uchiha Shisui, stepped forward. Looking at the somewhat hysterical Uchiha Shisui, they were extremely puzzled.
What exactly did that man say to Lord Shisui?
To make this top expert of the Uchiha Clan lose composure like this...
...
Yagami didn't like Uchiha Shisui.
According to his theory, Uchiha Shisui might indeed not be a wicked person.
But he was a fool.
Voluntarily exposing the secret of his Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo was tantamount to seeking death.
Kotoamatsukami can unconsciously manipulate the will and thoughts of others.
For a ruler, this is simply a highly coveted absolute weapon.
However, such a powerful tool, which is practically brainwashing, no ruler would ever let it fall into the hands of anyone other than themselves.
Even if you consider yourself absolutely loyal.
His ultimate fate of a tragic suicide was essentially rooted in his own foolishness.
Uchiha Shisui's strength was certainly powerful.
But strength doesn't represent everything.
Even the most powerful expert might not be a fool.
"Captain Yagami!"
While he was thinking, two figures rushed over, they were two subordinates from his squad.
Uchiha Aoki, Uchiha Yamakaze.
Yagami frowned: "The Clan Leader ordered you two not to report to me."
"Appearing suddenly now, did something major happen?"
The two were panting, and exchanged glances.
"...Yes."
"Let's go."
Yagami was decisive and efficient, without a single wasted word, he immediately sprinted towards the direction the two had come from.
"Captain Yagami, we haven't even said what happened yet..."
"Talk as we go."
Yagami knew that since the two were so urgent, something major must have happened, and there could be no delay.
The strong wind whistled past his ears.
Yagami increased his speed to the maximum.
His two subordinates desperately chased after him: "Captain, please calm down a little, this matter is too sensitive, I think it's better to report to the Clan Leader first..."
Yagamk said in a deep voice: "Speak!"
Uchiha Aoki then hesitated before speaking.
"It's, it's something that happened on the Sarutobi Clan's side..."
"Sarutobi Clan?"
Yagami heart stirred, understanding what the two meant by 'too sensitive'.
However...
So what?
