The final decision had been made.
Kill Qianyu.
Control the Uchiha.
But Danzō had his own agenda.
And Shisui knew—this was the final test.
"Hokage-sama," he said softly,
"I'm going."
"This will be the last thing I do to prove my loyalty."
He glanced briefly at Danzō.
Hiruzen understood.
"If killing my own clansman and controlling my clan still isn't enough—
then nothing ever will be."
Hiruzen sighed.
"You will always be my most loyal shinobi, Shisui…
Just like Uchiha Kagami once was."
"You are my Kagami."
Shisui's blood burned.
"I will repay your trust with my life."
He turned and left.
Danzō sneered.
"You trust him that easily?"
Koharu frowned.
"Let him try."
Danzō stood and walked into the shadows.
Hiruzen called after him sharply,
"You intend to seize his eyes, don't you?!"
"So what if I do?" Danzō replied coldly.
"You're crossing the line, Danzō!"
"You're all too soft," Danzō said. "Trusting an Uchiha."
The room fell silent.
Shisui walked alone.
His goal was simple.
Kill Qianyu.
Only then could peace be preserved.
But…
What if he failed?
If he died—
Who would inherit his will?
One name surfaced instantly.
Uchiha Itachi.
Before the battle, he had to entrust his will.
He found Itachi before reaching the river.
Only eleven years old—
yet his eyes held unfathomable depth.
"Not training today?" Shisui asked gently.
Itachi hesitated.
"I feel… something terrible is about to happen."
Shisui smiled faintly.
He explained everything.
"Qianyu-senpai did… all that?" Itachi whispered.
"Yes. And now I must stop him."
"If I fall," Shisui said quietly,
"then the one who must carry my will… is you."
He placed a hand on Itachi's shoulder.
"You must bring peace—
to the clan and to the village."
Itachi nodded slowly.
"I understand."
Shisui smiled.
"Good. Then I have no regrets."
Itachi suddenly looked up.
"Someone's following you."
Shisui chuckled.
"ANBU… Root… everyone wants to witness this."
Itachi's gaze hardened.
"Then I will witness it too."
Shisui nodded.
"Come."
"My final lesson—"
"To kill… for the sake of peace."
