The only other possible guess is that only someone close to him could successfully land a fatal blow in one hit.
After all, a sneak attack can achieve a one-hit kill.
But this person must be someone Shisui trusted and was defenseless against, and they must possess a certain level of ability.
Someone who could succeed in a sneak attack even when Shisui was off guard.
This is Root, after all. Who else could kill Shisui and bring him here?
The answer is already obvious.
Although Shisui was a member of the Uchiha Clan, he voluntarily joined the Anbu and gained the Third Hokage's trust.
As far as they knew, Shisui was quite loyal to the Third Hokage.
Only the Third Hokage had the ability to sneak attack him, bring his corpse here, and gouge out his eyes.
Their perception of the Third Hokage was completely refreshed in their hearts.
To think the Third Hokage would actually do the same things as Danzō... how is he any different from Danzō?
The lofty image of the Third Hokage collapsed in their hearts.
Perhaps the Third Hokage isn't as upright as he previously seemed, and has a dark side too.
Even Akimichi Chōza, who was previously confused, had a bad feeling as he looked at the quiet scene.
"Could it be that the Third Hokage did this?"
The others felt heavy-hearted and didn't answer. It was likely nine times out of ten; there was one and only one suspect.
And Uchiha Yatsushiro didn't name the murderer earlier probably because he was afraid they wouldn't cooperate.
Akimichi Chōza was too shocked to speak at this moment. The head of a village actually assassinated his own Anbu member; this was truly a very heinous scandal.
Yamanaka Inoichi asked at this moment.
"Shikaku, are we going to hand the body over to the Uchiha Clan now?"
Shikaku sighed.
"Hand it over. After all, we are the Konoha Military Police Force now. Even if we don't support the Uchiha Clan, we won't support the Third Hokage either."
"The Third Hokage has to bear the consequences of his own actions."
When searching here earlier, seeing the large quantity of human organs, he was horrified. To think so many human experiments were conducted... and where was this equipment obtained?
He even found specimen materials labeled Senju Nawaki.
Who was Senju Nawaki?
He was the only male heir of the Senju Clan's main house who died on the battlefield. It was said he triggered an explosive tag trap, and even his internal organs were blown away.
How bizarre. If the explosion was strong enough to destroy the organs, a complete body shouldn't have been found.
When the Second Hokage died, rumors circulated in the Leaf Village about wanting to create another Wood Style master.
He had heard about these things back then.
Now it was confirmed. Naturally, the one conducting this experiment was the village higher-up, Danzō.
To think Danzō would do such a thing to a descendant of the Senju Clan. It was truly detestable, truly damnable.
But how could such a large experiment take place without the Third Hokage's permission?
If this matter were exposed, the Third Hokage's reputation would be completely ruined.
Shikaku felt very helpless. Did he really misjudge the Third Hokage?
Actually, there was no need to do such things even for the sake of the village.
Soon, they transported Shisui's body to the Konoha Military Police Force branch and sent someone to notify the Uchiha Clan.
On the other side, Hyūga Hiashi led people to search another Root base.
With a top-tier powerhouse like Hyūga Hiashi personally leading the team, along with the Byakugan Kekkei Genkai, Root couldn't resist at all.
Upon entering the base, they were shocked by the various human experimentation equipment in the laboratory.
There were so many skeletons of children.
Although they didn't find Shisui's body, it proved that Danzō deserved to die.
Shortly after, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Yatsushiro, who were still in the Hokage Building, received the notification to head to the four clans' Konoha Military Police Force branch building.
And Ryōsuke, who was in the clan grounds, also received the notification.
He was escorting the Third Hokage to the branch, preparing to put the Third Hokage on trial.
This time, he must seize the opportunity to kill the Third Hokage, because the other party still held considerable hostility toward the Uchiha Clan and had even made a move.
Now that Danzō, who held the greatest malice toward the Uchiha Clan, was dead, the Third Hokage was next.
Then the Uchiha Clan would be completely safe in the Leaf Village, and there shouldn't be anyone left who dared to cause trouble.
