"Don't worry, boy. I am actually doing it for myself. If what you and your clan head said is true, that any other ninja I send with you may see something they should never see," Shibi said, shaking his head.

From what he remembered about the information Fugaku gave, many Aburame ninja who went missing during missions were under Root. And even though Shibi already knew what lay ahead of them, when Shisui brought up the topic of Root bases where they may have been conducting experimentation, Shibi became sure that no one other than him should see this. Otherwise, he would not be able to meet the eyes of his ninjas when they confronted him about this and sought revenge for them.

Shisui nodded his head and said, "I am sorry, Shibi-sama, but we have to move now. We have to get all the information before the morning sun rises."

"Fine."

Both Shisui and Shibi went out of the Aburame clan headquarters while Shisui helped with the movement jutsu. Since with his expertise in the Body Flicker Jutsu, it would be almost impossible to detect him in the dark when he decided to move secretly, as he would be long gone before anyone could turn their head to look for him.

There was a reason Shisui was known as Shisui the Teleporter. Within 40 minutes, Shisui and Shibi came back to the Aburame clan headquarters, both of them able to successfully complete their mission without any problems.

With Shisui's speed, they reached every location within seconds, and the only time needed was for Shibi to secretly send his bugs inside those Root bases. He had to make ways for them from underground paths so that none of the seals would become active, which took most of the time.

Also, Shibi used the bugs that were good at digging and didn't use chakra for it, since he didn't want any sensor inside the bases to sense his bugs.

After he used poison to melt the walls of the Root bases and sent some of his bugs inside, once his bugs were inside, it didn't take long for them to find out most of the information about the bases.

The same thing was repeated at the other two bases before they went back.

But even though they had completed their mission, none of them were happy about it because of what they found inside those Root bases.

Only two of the three Root bases were used for experimentation. In those bases, they found many containers containing eyes of dead Uchiha, brains of Nara clan ninja, skeletons of ninja from the Aburame clan, a complete skull of a Hyuga clan ninja with his eyes damaged, and much more.

It took every ounce of discipline and sheer willpower not to attack and kill every single ninja and researcher present in those bases, just from sheer anger at seeing the condition of their clan's shinobi.

After dropping Shibi at his office, Shisui said, "Thank you very much, Shibi-sama. With this, Danzo will definitely not leave without any consequences now."

"Let's just hope that is the case. Otherwise, I would have to personally kill him by my own hand and go rogue the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, I will not be able to sleep," Shibi said.

"That makes two of us, Shibi-sama. I will definitely join you on that noble mission," Shisui said while bowing a little.

"Hahaha, let's just hope that situation never arises," Shibi laughed, but Shisui could feel an immense amount of guilt behind it, having been in the dark about the condition of his clan's ninja for so long.

Giving the man some alone time, which he was in desperate need of, Shisui took his leave and went back to the Uchiha clan.

Fugaku had already gone back to his office. Knowing this, Shisui directly went to his office and told him about everything they found about the bases.

"Don't react like that. We already knew that Danzo had eyes of our ninja. With the number of corpses that went missing from their missions and the completely clear memories of those they went after, it was clear as day that someone else was behind that," Fugaku said, seeing Shisui's condition when he was telling about the containers containing eyes of dead Uchiha.

"But Fugaku-sama, just two bases contained nearly 10 pairs of eyes. We don't even know how many more of our ninja can't even rest in pure lands because of the condition of their bodies.

They are being treated as test subjects. I am sure they would have been happy if they died as warriors and ninjas during the mission, but due to that fucking cyclops, they died as lab rats and were being experimented on even after their death," Shisui said with anger apparent in his voice.

"I know, and I am almost as angry as you, if not more. I am supposed to protect my clan's ninja from such things. This was my responsibility, which I failed to complete. But I will try to rectify my mistake tomorrow," Fugaku said, and these words were like a promise to himself and to those ninja who died such a miserable death.

"Fugaku-sama, I want to personally blow up one of those bases tomorrow," Shisui said.

"Okay, I will assign you five Jonin proficient in such jutsu, and the next one will be left to Minoru-sama," Fugaku said.

Shisui nodded his head.

"Now go back and rest. Tomorrow is going to be the longest day of our lives."

With three of the most powerful forces in motion inside Konoha, things were super turbulent in the shadows of Konoha, and the person responsible for all this was having his fan moment at the moment.

Kaida and Itachi were standing on the roof, looking at the moon, when Itachi said, "Do you want to make a bet on who would win in our spar?"

"Okay, what do you want to bet?" Kaida asked.

"The loser would have to follow the winner's orders for a full whole week," Itachi said.

"And we're only going to use kenjutsu and genjutsu, right?" Kaida asked.

"Yeah, I will not use ninjutsu," Itachi said, as if he was giving the biggest handicap to Kaida.

"Fine by me, be ready to follow my orders for a full week," Kaida said with an ear-to-ear smile.

(This conversation was the result of what happened when Kaida came back after the meeting with Kakashi.)
