If You break the third shahada or Wilayat of Ali, are you out of Shia? Are you an apostate? Will you go to hell? Can you still be Shia?

Why is it necessary to leave the third shahada? Why would he be the source of confusion for those who look up to him? Would he go into heaven if he confuses others with his such conduct? Will that make him worthy to be called as Shia in his eyes? 

Concealing one's faith is allowed only when there is threat to life.

What do you mean break the 3rd shahada?

If you stop believing that Imam Ali is the direct and immediate successor of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) then you are not shia.
