In Naruto as Zhongli

Chapter 10: INAZ - 9

Chapter 10 - INAZ: Chapter 9---

A rich aroma of tea quickly filled the entire All-Purpose Shop.

"It smells so good, Tsunade-sama actually has such exquisite tea." Shinji brought the teacup to his nose and sniffed it, good tea.

"I swiped it from the old geezer, should be pretty good." Tsunade said nonchalantly, the tea was indeed swiped from Sarutobi Hiruzen, making him heartbroken.

If she hadn't lost all her money at the casino, she wouldn't have gone to swipe tea as a reward.

"The Third Hokage's tea, no wonder." Shinji smiled, Tsunade rarely drank tea, it was rare for her to carry tea leaves.

"Let's get back to the point, how do you know about my situation?" After finishing a cup of tea, Tsunade's eyes gradually became serious.

She was too shocked the other night to think about where Shinji got all this information, but the more she thought about it, the more it felt wrong.

A lot of the information was top-secret, how did he get his hands on it.

"Buddha said, it cannot be spoken, just like a 'contract', following the rules of the 'contract', it is actually hoping that people can follow 'fairness'."

Shinji suddenly said something that left Tsunade baffled.

"Some things are best not to delve into, and... I have a 'contract' with an old friend, I can't reveal some things."

Shinji picked up his teacup and took a sip, instantly, his mouth was filled with the aroma of tea.

"You won't be malicious towards the Leaf?"

"I'm originally from the Leaf, how could I be malicious towards the Leaf? Tsunade-sama should have investigated me before you came, right?"

Shinji smiled lightly, seemingly not bothered by Tsunade's questioning.

"..." Tsunade fell silent, she had indeed confirmed Shinji's identity with the Anbu before she came, there was no problem.

"Right, your shackles... should have been broken, right?" Shinji suddenly raised his head, his black eyes fixed intently on Tsunade's eyes.

Looking at Shinji's eyes, Tsunade felt inexplicably nervous.

"What do you think?"

"I think you've already broken the shackles, haven't you?" Shinji recalled the system prompt, that prompt was proof that Tsunade had already gotten rid of her heart knot.

"That's true, but I still want to say thank you, Shopkeeper Shinji." Tsunade hesitated for a moment, but finally expressed her gratitude.

"You're welcome, I've already accepted your payment, so our 'contract' is considered fulfilled." Shinji smiled, pouring Tsunade another cup of tea.

"Is this the 'contract' you keep talking about?" Tsunade rested her hand on the tea table, her slightly revealing clothes exposed a large expanse of white.

"Yes."

...

Silence, the two of them just looked at each other, occasionally picking up their teacups and taking sips.

Just then, Shizune, still in her child form, walked in, carrying a pink piglet in her arms.

"Tsunade-sama, so you're here?" Shizune had been following Tsunade for so long, she had somehow gained the ability to

Shisui fell silent after hearing Shinji's words, then sat back down.

"Then what do you have... forget it, never mind." Shisui got up, he almost wanted to ask Shinji if he had any solutions.

But on second thought, he didn't sense any chakra from Shinji, which meant he was just a simple civilian in front of him.

Everything he said was probably information he heard from somewhere.

"Your Uchiha clan, you've been considering rebelling, haven't you?" Shinji saw Shisui get up and just said this calmly.

However, just this sentence, Shisui's pupils widened, his actions were unclear, the sword behind him was already at Shinji's neck.

It seemed that as long as Shinji didn't say the right thing, the sword in Shisui's hand would be pressed down.

Because, it was just before the Nine-Tailed Fox incident that their Uchiha clan, under the leadership of Uchiha Fugaku, was still willing to coexist peacefully with the Hokage lineage.

After all, Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage, and Uchiha Fugaku was a good friend of Minato Namikaze, and Kushina was Uchiha Mikoto's best friend.

But, until the Nine-Tailed Fox incident.

Everything changed. Not only because of the Sharingan that appeared in the Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes, but also because of an unknown reason, the Uchiha clan didn't help with the Nine-Tailed Fox incident.

This made the atmosphere between the Leaf and the Uchiha clan plummet to freezing point.

Especially, at this critical moment, Minato Namikaze died!

And the one who took his place was Sarutobi Hiruzen, who reappeared as the Third Hokage, and Root, under Sarutobi Hiruzen's tacit approval, began to stir up trouble.

Moreover, after returning from his mission, he had heard the voice of rebellion in the clan again.

Especially Uchiha Kagami, the elder of the Uchiha clan, went directly to Uchiha Fugaku's house and started talking about restarting the rebellion plan.

All of this was heard by Uchiha Itachi, who turned around and told Shisui.

Therefore, it was Shinji's words that truly shocked him.

How did he know about this?

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything else." Shinji said with a chuckle, he even extended two fingers to move the sword in Shisui's hand outward.

He wasn't playing Zhongli yet, if he was cut down, he really wouldn't know what to say.

"Hmph! Don't spread such false information!" Shisui also knew he was being too emotional.

But if he acted a little more aggressively, it would be easy for people with ulterior motives to think that their Uchiha clan was really planning to rebel!

"Whether it's false or not, Shisui-kun, you should know better. Or... are you going to use Kotoamatsukami?"

"What else do you know?!" Shisui was startled.

He hadn't told anyone about his awakening of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Not Uchiha Fugaku, not even Uchiha Itachi or anyone in the village, in other words, this was something only he knew!

PS: The original story didn't say when Shisui awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, let's just assume he has it now.

"I know a lot of things, after all..." Shinji wanted to say "after all, I've been in this world for a long time," but he thought better of it.

Although Shisui was usually gentle, who knew if he could maintain his composure when his secrets were known to others.

Clang!
