Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan-Chapter 888 The Absurd Scene
Seeing that Kuroto remained indifferent, Yui blurted out anxiously: "Kuroto-kun, this matter is truly grave. Even if you return to the Hyuga District, no one will utter a word against you… not even the elders!"
After the previous dispute with the elders of the main family, Kuroto relocated to his alternate residence outside the Hyuga District. He wished to minimize his dealings with those old men and avoid any unnecessary complications.
However, the current situation is complex and intricate. The Uchiha family is plotting a revolt, and Yui is deeply concerned about Kuroto's well-being. She urges him to move back to the Hyuga District, where he would be safer.
In the past, she would never have dared to express such a request to Kuroto. She understood all too well that men sometimes value their reputation even more than their own lives. Not to mention, Kuroto, who is still the Hokage and excessively proud in certain matters.
Yet, after participating in several high-level meetings, Yui finally comprehended the imminent Uchiha clan rebellion, therefore, she could no longer keep silent.
After speaking, she anxiously looked at Kuroto, hoping he would accept her plea. Simultaneously, she worried that he might become upset with her for pressuring him into something he might not want to do.
Observing her concerns, Kuroto sighed and nodded. "Very well, since you are so worried, I will heed your advice."
Yui asked quickly, "Really?!"
She knew very well that Kuroto might appear lazy and lacking motivation on the surface. However, deep down, once he made a decision, he would pursue it relentlessly, disregarding the consequences due to his proud nature.
Therefore, upon hearing Kuroto immediately accept her request, Yui was even taken aback and asked again to be certain.
"Yes, well… I really can’t refu–" nodded Kuroto nonchalantly.
Before he could finish his words, suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed through the corridor. Notably, the footsteps were calm and unrushed. What surprised Yui, even more, was that the individuals who arrived didn't bother to knock on the door. Furthermore, it seemed to be more than one person. Thus, Yui questioned Kuroto with a skeptical look, "Kuroto-kun… at this late hour… who has come?"
Kuroto responded casually, "Hmm… a few colleagues have come to report the progress on an important matter."
Kuroto had already noticed the brief skirmish in the courtyard earlier, so he was aware before the sound of footsteps reached them. He knew that Shisui, Shinichi, and Itachi had arrived, and they did so stealthily while discreetly subduing the four members of the Hokage Guard Platoon
"Oh," nodded Yui, not paying it much mind. As the Hokage, it wasn't unusual for subordinates to visit his house to report on important matters. She then said, "Well… in that case, I should take my leave."
Just as she turned around to leave, the three Uchiha entered the room.
Yui, who had just turned around, noticed the presence of the three Uchiha and was astonished. "Uchiha Itachi, Shisui-kun, and Uchiha Shinichi!"
Realizing the identities of the three individuals, Yui swiftly retrieved a kunai from her sleeves. Like a fierce protector, she stood in front of Kuroto and urgently spoke, "Kuroto-kun… you must leave, quickly!"
The Uchiha Clan had become a living nightmare for her, and the fact that three of them had arrived at Kuroto's house at this hour could only mean one thing—they had revolted.
Shisui, Itachi, and Shinichi looked at Yui with blank expressions, feeling awkward. The situation with the four members of the Hokage Guard Platoon outside was a different matter. They dared not subdue Yui, nor did they know how to explain the situation to her. They looked towards Kuroto for guidance.

Observing the awkwardness, Kuroto smiled and placed a hand on Yui's shoulder to calm her down. "Yui, don't be nervous. They are not enemies… I summoned them here."
In response to Kuroto's words, Shinichi, Shisui, and Itachi genuflected before Kuroto, respectfully addressing him, "Hokage-sama!"
"What?!" Yui was taken aback, frozen in disbelief as she stared at the three Uchiha.
Kuroto patted her shoulder, bringing her out of her shock, and said, "Go and bring Kurenai and the others inside. Instruct them not to fire any signal flares or cause any commotion. I will explain everything afterward."
"But…" She was at a loss, pointing at the three Uchiha genuflecting on the ground.
The scene before her was completely different from what she had imagined just moments ago. The three Uchiha not only refrained from engaging in a fight, but they also genuflected before Kuroto! While she could accept this behavior from Shisui due to her awareness of their friendship, Itachi and Shinichi doing the same was entirely unexpected…
It felt as if the scene before her was a Genjutsu, but no matter how many times she checked or disrupted her chakra flow, she realized that the scene was not an illusion—it was reality!
Seeing her stunned expression, Kuroto urged, "Yui, don't stand there in a daze. Go."
"All right," Yui suppressed her doubts and worries, placing her trust in Kuroto. She proceeded to the courtyard and, after dispelling the Genjutsu on the four members of the Hokage Guard Platoon, she called them inside.
Following Yui, Kurenai and the others remained extremely vigilant. They didn't relax their guard despite witnessing Shisui, Shinichi, and Itachi bowing respectfully before Kuroto. The skirmish moments ago had already revealed the vast difference in power, and they understood that they stood no chance. If it came to a fight, their only hope would be to sacrifice their lives to buy enough time for Kuroto to retreat.
They were also concerned about the possibility that Kuroto might be under the control of the three Uchiha, which could explain their unexpected presence.
Kuroto was aware of the doubts in their minds but chose not to address them. Instead, he looked at Shisui and inquired, "So… tell me… Uchiha Fugaku's entire plan."
Shisui nodded and began to divulge the entire details of the coup d'état plan. As he spoke, the surprise on the faces of Yui and the members of the Hokage Guard Platoon became increasingly apparent. With every piece of information that came out of Shisui's mouth, their jaws dropped unconsciously as they witnessed the shock unfolding before them.
The level of detail Shisui provided was astonishing. He revealed who was in charge of freeing prisoners from the prison, who would follow his command, the leaders of the bounty hunters, rogue-nin, and wandering samurais within the village, the targets of the raids on important facilities, the individuals assigned to pursue the former Hokage, Hokage's Hand, and the other elders, the planned formations, timing, and even the secret codes. Shisui left no stone unturned.
Even Yui, who had attended the meeting earlier in the day and was aware of the minor details shared by Izumi, was dumbfounded at this moment. Shisui's information far exceeded what Izumi had disclosed during the meeting.
While the five stunned individuals were still trying to recover from the shock, Kuroto stroked his chin thoughtfully and asked with a furrowed brow, "Is this everything?"
Yui and the members of the Hokage Guard Platoon were rendered speechless by Kuroto's question. The Uchiha Clan's plan was already horrific, and if it unfolded as they had intended, it would spell disaster for Kuroto.
In contrast, Itachi pondered for a moment before speaking up, "Well, there is something more… Based on what Otou-sama mentioned, a third party might be involved in the coup. Although I attempted to gather information about this third party, he did not disclose their identity. However, he did stress that we need not worry about resistance from the Hyuga Clan, suggesting that this third party is likely connected to the Hyuga Clan and will target them on the night of the rebellion."
Upon hearing that the third party might have ties to the Hyuga Clan, Yui grew nervous as she tried to analyze potential candidates.
Kurenai and the others exchanged bewildered looks. The scene of Uchiha Itachi, the son of the Uchiha Patriarch, revealing his father's plan before Kuroto was truly absurd and difficult to believe.
