Chapter 4 - Chapter 04

"Later Itsuho. It has some kind of cursed mark. Though I know your sealing techniques are good. But I don't think it is a good idea to touch it and what if the curse might affect you." Then he pulled out his other eye while he try to lecture his own sister who is having a panick attack.

"You!!!!" Itsuho shocked as her eyes widened at the sight of her older brother pulled his other eye with terror knowing what he meant by the gesture, abandoninghis own identity as an Uchiha shinobi.

"I was planning to use my right eye ability to stop the Uchiha coup. Unfortunately now it seems there is no way to stop it." Shisui said in exhaustion both physically and mentally as he turn head like he is looking at them.

"If internal warfare breaks out in the leaf, the neighbouring countries will invade and another war will begin....is that what you want to say brother?"

Itsuho muttered as her dull eyes looked at her brother with clenched fists as he chuckled wryly since she took his words right from his mouth.

"Did you forget what my existence means? haven't I already powerful enough to deterrent a war?!"

Itsuho gritted teeth as she retorted as she held by something.

Shisui turned his head to her as he can see what is in her mind while sighing. "You know sister. It is true you are powerful. But you are a human too. When...."

His tone slowly started to crack as he paused.

"....Do you know what I feel when my little sister was treated like a weapon by my superiors? Do you know how I feel when you always return from a battles of wars like a half living bloody mess!! No matter how much you grow up and matured, you are always be my littlesister who I cared than my own life!!!"

Soon Itsuho's eyes widened as both siblings started to crumble down.

"I never ever want you to go to another battle field like that never ever!!!"

Shisui's agonised voice echoed through the cliff down there as Itsuho stunned.

"I couldn't take it anymore. Seeing my little sister becoming more and more inhuman!!!!"

Shisui tried to calm down as he took a deep breath to endure his own helplessness as somehow he could sense the conflicts and dilemma that going through her head.

"Brother...."

Itsuho muttered but no sound came out as she collapsed on the ground.

"That's why I want to stop this before it escalate to that extent. But..... When I tried to stop all this with Kotoamtsukami, Danzo stole my right eye. That man doesn't trust me at all. He is planning to go extreme to protect leaf. I suspect he will come after my left eye." Shisui said grimly.

"We two will protect you elder brother. They can't attack another fellow leaf ninja that easily, beside they won't dare to do that with me here. If he try to do anything funny, it is end of his power play in front of everyone!"

A gilnt appeared in her eyes as her usual smile or any expression of despair on her face is gone as she tried to stand up; an emotionless look that can make others chill down to spine appeared on her face with the ice cold way now she looked.

"No Itsuho Danzo has his foundation as his back up. If something happens, they will be the one protect leaf from shadows. You alone can't take down all of them.

Even if you do so the outcome will still the war. I don't want my sister to be call as a war monger again or be like that way, a half dead bloody mess that always haunt me in my nightmares."

Shisui shook his head as he gave her a soft smile. Despite how unsightly it was, it is clear that is a smile from a brother who want his sister to have nothing but best.

"Brother...."

She muttered still unconvinced as she clenched her fists and bit her lips as she feel the heartbreak that her brother feels for her.

"So I am giving my remaining eye to Itachi before Danzo has a chance."

He showed his hand that containing bleeding eye without giving her time to react.

"You two are the only people I can trust. Itachi, Itsuho protect the village and the Uchiha name as well" Shisui said while giving Itach his left eye as Itachi crow got the it before disappearing.

"And you Itsuho...." the girl hesitantly nodded as her lips trembling. "Use it well and at least try to stop war before it happens. I don't ever want you to fight like that ever again" he smiled at her.

"Brother....." Itsuho felt the warmness that flowing through her face mixed with saltiness as she slowly reach him.

'I'll hide you away whether you like it or not. Once I become hokage....i will promise there won't be anymore wars after that'

"Shisui...I" Itachi called him worried and concerned about what is going on his brother figure's mind as there is some uneasiness in his tone.

"And that isn't the only thing I need to give you two." He looked at them. "I am going to give you new powers too"

There was a silence as Itsuho started to shudder in terror understanding what he mean. "The mangekyou sharingan" Shisui said.

"You can't brother/Shisui"

Itachi and

Itsuho shouted with trembling voice at the same time as Itsuho took fast steps to near him.

"I am not going to last long anyway" he said as he accepted the fact. "Take it as a gift of parting"

"No! Shisui listen to me... let's go, we need to treat you....and you said you will let me treat—"

"Itsuho!" Shisui interrupted the girl as he looked at her with a gentle smile.

"What with the looks on your faces" Shisui laughed while stunning both of them as they looked at him incredulously. "Even like this I can still see you two easily. Specially you Itsuho....my beautiful little sister.

That kind of expression doesn't look good on you though I really want to see it now... you know. Even to you Itachi. You two must remain calm, that what you two always are, so promise...."

"I....I promise brother" Her tightly shut lips trembled as she hugged him tightly.

"I'll hide you, You know we just need to restrain root for month, after that I will be the hokage. With that we would able to stop all this coup or war or anything that comes to us!"

"Too late for that Su-chan" Shisui bitterly smiled. "Many clansmen saw me today. If I disappeared without traces. They will naturally suspect the higher ups and you won't have time to stop them. Beside I'm positive you two can do this without me here" his smile never faded. "Don't worry it will be fine"

"I will carry on your will for the Uchiha" Itachi said.

"I'll carry on your will to see the future you can't see brother but there is no way I'll let you go!"

tears started to flow as she stubbornly hugged him tighter, knowing the look he giving to her filled with despair.
