Chapter 347 - 32

Chapter 32: Persuading ShisuiTsunade left the Village with Naruto, Robin, and Shizune before dawn the next day. Before that, the Third Hokage had done something that made Tsunade very happy; he sent someone to deliver a bag of money for her travel expenses.Sure enough, Tsunade was overjoyed when she saw the money. It was enough for her to gamble away for a while, but Naruto, knowing her nature, immediately took the money away, leaving Tsunade to have been happy for nothing.Since Shisui had not yet woken up, they temporarily stayed in the cave where he was being kept. Naruto had originally intended to return Shisui's Sharingan to him, but considering their primary mission was to recruit Orochimaru, and not knowing whether Shisui would join them after waking up, Tsunade performed the Sharingantransplant surgery on Naruto right there.Tsunade's medical skills were superb; she was truly the "Number One Medic" of the Ninja World. A few hours after the transplant, Naruto was already able to use the Mangekyo Sharingan, and he felt absolutely no signs of rejection.Because Danzo's arm had been destroyed by them, the technique Robin had cast on him also vanished. However, it didn't matter, as they could obtain the information they wanted from Orochimaru.Sure enough, members of Root found Orochimaruagain and asked him to transplant another arm containing Hashirama cells onto Danzo. Although curious, Orochimaru didn't ask any questions and agreed. Both parties agreed to meet again at Danzo's hideout in a week.Two days later, Shisui woke up. Although he couldn't see, he immediately sensed four people around him. He asked: "Where is this? Did you save me?"At this moment, Tsunade was leaning against the wall drinking. Without turning around, she downed the rest of the wine in her bottle, let out a hiccup, and replied: "Obviously, who else would have saved you if not us!""As for who I am, we may not have met, but you must have heard of my name. My name is Tsunade.""W-what? Are you the legendary Sannin, the granddaughter of Shodai(1st)-sama, Princess Tsunade?" Shisui asked, somewhat shocked.Hearing this, Tsunade sighed, rested her chin on her hand, and said: "Those titles are really long, but you're probably right."After receiving confirmation, Shisui said anxiously: "Lady Tsunade, the situation in the Village is not optimistic right now. It is extremely prone to civil unrest, and the Third Hokage is overwhelmed. Please, go back and help him!"Tsunade looked a bit impatient. She didn't want to explain anything further to Shisui, so she simply remained silent. Naruto, standing to the side, stepped forward and said: "Shisui, we already know about these things, and we only left the Village a few days ago."Shisui sensed that the person speaking was not very old. He was curious about the relationship between Naruto and Tsunade, and didn't know why Tsunade would let a child speak for her, especially since he could feel that his own eyes seemed to be on this child.However, upon hearing what Naruto said, he was stunned, and then said with some agitation: "What? Since you already know about this, why don't you help the Village solve the problem?""Lady Tsunade, is it because you are afraid of Danzo?""You must know, once the Village falls into civil unrest, other nations might take advantage of the situation, and by then it will be too late.""Can you really bear to watch the Village that Shodai(1st)-sama built be destroyed just like that? Or is it that..."Before he could finish, Naruto interrupted him: "Shisui, don't be so agitated. The situation isn't as bad as you think, or rather, compared to another matter, this one seems rather trivial."Shisui asked in confusion: "Huh? What do you mean? Could there be anything more important than the survival of the Village?"Naruto patiently explained: "That depends on your perspective. You must have already sensed that your Sharingan has been transplanted into me. This matter is too inconceivable to explain, and it's a long story, so I've decided to use the Sharinganto transmit a vision into your mind. You'll understand once you see it.""However, before that, I hope you can listen to a few more things from me. First, compared to the survival of the entire Ninja World, where does the Village rank in your heart? You can answer this question in a little while.""Second, you must know about the existence of Sage Art! Sage Art must be learned from the three great Sages, but do you know their origins?""And the vision you are about to see was told to me by an existence even more ancient than those three.""Alright, that is all I have to say to you."After speaking, Naruto immediately activated the Sharingan on Shisui, presenting the pre-prepared vision in his mind. This was the Naruto world on its original trajectory, and the subsequent scene of the Ninja World being destroyed by the Ōtsutsuki was something Naruto had modified and added himself. (Sorry, I haven't watched Boruto)A massive amount of information flooded into Shisui's mind. He began to watch it very seriously, fearing he might miss a single detail.About half an hour later, Shisui said with an expression of disbelief: "Is, is this true? Does that mean in twenty-plus years, the Ninja World will perish? And only you can stop all this from happening?"Naruto shrugged and said: "Although calling myself a savior might seem a bit too arrogant, that is the actual situation.""This is also the reason why I chose to save you, because if we want to fight against the Ōtsutsuki, we need to integrate all the power of the Ninja to have any hope. And as a genius of the Uchiha Clan, you are naturally someone I want to recruit.""Alright Shisui, the situation is now laid out before you. So, what is your choice?"Shisui did not answer his question directly, but instead asked in return: "If I don't agree, are you prepared to kill me?"Naruto smiled and replied: "Of course not. If you don't join us, I will temporarily restrict your movements.""Because my primary goal right now is to recruit Orochimaru, and you know that he isn't someone who trusts others easily. This is also the reason why I transplanted your eyes; because dealing with him will likely require the use of Kotoamatsukami.""After I subdue him, I will find a way to shorten the cooldown time of Kotoamatsukami and then use it on you. However, doing that would cause a lot of trouble for my plans, so I hope you can sincerely help us."Shisui fell into silence again. With his head lowered, he seemed to be struggling internally. After a long while, disregarding his own weak body, he stood up abruptly and said resolutely: "I agree!"
