big brother shina: reborn in the Uchiha clan

Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Shisui’s Gambit



The following evening, Shisui made his move. The elders had scheduled another secret meeting, and Shisui saw it as his chance to use Kotoamatsukami and end the coup before it began. Shina and Itachi were close by, hidden in the shadows, ready to intervene if anything went wrong.

"You sure about this?" Shina asked in a low voice as they crouched on a rooftop near the meeting hall.

Shisui nodded, his face calm but resolute. "This is the best chance we have. If it works, we can stop the coup and avoid bloodshed."

Itachi placed a hand on Shisui's shoulder. "Be careful. We'll be watching."

Shisui smiled faintly. "I know. Thanks."

Inside the meeting hall, the atmosphere was tense. The elders were deep in discussion, their voices low but urgent.

"We've waited long enough," one elder said. "It's time to act. The longer we delay, the more vulnerable we become."

Another elder nodded in agreement. "We need to send a message to the village, show them that we won't be controlled."

As the conversation continued, Shisui stepped into the room. The elders turned to him, their expressions a mix of surprise and suspicion.

"Shisui," one of them said. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to stop you," Shisui said calmly, his Sharingan activating.

The elders tensed, some reaching for weapons, but Shisui held up a hand. "I'm not here to fight. I just want to talk. Please, hear me out."

There was a moment of hesitation before one of the elders gestured for the others to stand down. "Speak quickly, then."

Shisui took a deep breath. "I understand your fears. The village hasn't always treated us fairly, and the mistrust between us has only grown over the years. But starting a war won't solve anything. It will only bring destruction—to the clan, to the village, and to everything we've worked to protect."

One of the hardliners scoffed. "Spare us your idealism, Shisui. Peace is a lie. The only way to secure our future is to take control."

Shisui's gaze hardened. "You're wrong. Peace is possible, but only if we're willing to fight for it—not with weapons, but with understanding and cooperation."

The elders began to argue among themselves, their voices rising. Shisui knew he had to act before the situation spiraled out of control. Activating his Mangekyō Sharingan, he unleashed Kotoamatsukami on the elder who had been leading the charge for the coup.

The room went silent as the elder's expression changed. His eyes, once filled with determination and anger, softened. He looked around the room, as if seeing it for the first time.

"This… this isn't the way," the elder said, his voice trembling. "We've been blinded by our fear and anger. War will only destroy us."

The other elders stared in shock, some looking uncertain, others suspicious.

"What's happening?" one of them demanded.

Shisui stepped back, his breathing heavy. "He's realized the truth. Now it's your turn. Think about what you're risking, what you're throwing away. Is this really what you want for the clan?"

Outside, Shina and Itachi watched anxiously as the minutes dragged on.

"Something's happening," Shina muttered, his eyes scanning the meeting hall. "The chakra in there just shifted."

Itachi activated his Sharingan, his gaze focused. "Shisui's using Kotoamatsukami. Let's hope it works."

Inside, the mood was beginning to shift. Some of the elders were starting to question their plans, their resolve wavering.

But not all of them were convinced. One of the hardliners stood abruptly, his eyes blazing. "This is a trick! Shisui is manipulating us!"

The elder formed hand seals, preparing to attack. But before he could act, the doors burst open, and Shina and Itachi entered, their Sharingan spinning.

"Alright, that's enough," Shina said, his tone sharp. "You want to start a fight? You'll have to go through us first."

The elder hesitated, his gaze flickering between the brothers and Shisui. Finally, he lowered his hands, his frustration evident.

"This isn't over," he said, his voice cold.

Shina smirked. "Oh, I think it is."

---

As the elders dispersed, Shisui, Shina, and Itachi regrouped outside.

"Did it work?" Shina asked, his tone hopeful.

Shisui nodded, though he looked exhausted. "For now. The coup is on hold, but some of them are still resistant. We've bought time, but we're not out of the woods yet."

Itachi frowned. "What's the next step?"

Shisui sighed. "We keep watching, keep pushing for peace. And we prepare for the worst, just in case."

Shina clapped a hand on Shisui's shoulder. "You did good, Shisui. Rest up—we'll handle things from here."

Shisui smiled faintly, his exhaustion evident. "Thanks, you two. I'm lucky to have you."
