Throughout the entire Naruto story, the annihilation of the Uchiha clan due to a rebellion was undoubtedly a major event.
In the original plot, as a result of the Nine-Tails attacking Konoha, tensions between the Uchiha clan and other villagers escalated. Eventually, the marginalized Uchiha clan planned a coup to seize control of the village by force, intensifying the conflict.
Amid this impending crisis, Shisui intended to use his "Kotoamatsukami" Mangekyō Sharingan to prevent this. Unfortunately, Danzo did not believe in him and directly took away his right eye.
After having his eye taken, Shisui realized the situation was irreparable. He entrusted his left eye to his friend, Itachi, and chose to commit suicide by jumping into the Naka River.
During this period, Shisui, known as the "Shisui of the Body Flicker", was one of the most skilled among the Uchiha clan. His death significantly weakened the Uchiha clan, halting the rebellion.
However, this cessation was brief. Over a year later, the reorganized Uchiha clan prepared to launch another rebellion. Upon learning this news, Danzo used Sasuke as leverage, forcing Itachi to turn against his own people, aiming his blade at his fellow clan members.
Ultimately, Itachi found Madara, also known as Tobi, and together they massacred the entire Uchiha clan from top to bottom, then joined Akatsuki.
In the following decade, Itachi engaged in a continuous cycle of love and conflict with his younger brother, Sasuke, and ultimately died by Sasuke's hand, ending his tragic life.
If Itachi's death marked the end of the Uchiha clan's annihilation, then Shisui's death was the beginning of the Uchiha clan's annihilation!
Therefore, upon hearing the news of Shisui's death conveyed by Fukaku, Zhang Miao was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"I remember many members of the Uchiha clan fleeing to us before. Logically, the Uchiha's power had been greatly weakened. In such a situation, they didn't have the strength to launch a rebellion. If that's the case, why did Shisui die? Was it an accident?"
When Zhang Miao uttered the word "accident," even he found it hard to believe. After all, Shisui was an elite of the Kage level, and his death couldn't possibly be a mere accident for such a high-ranking shinobi!
In fact, just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Fukaku immediately shook his head.
"It wasn't an accident. He committed suicide after Danzo took his eyes. The body has been brought back. Boss, how do you intend to handle this?"
"Uh..."
After hearing Fukaku's words, Zhang Miao's mouth twitched several times, a hint of peculiarity flashing in his eyes.
"To think you're asking me how to handle this... Speaking of which, since you've found Shisui's body, shouldn't it be possible to save him? Why not save him?"
"Because, boss, you said we shouldn't meddle in the affairs of the Uchiha clan in Konoha!" Fukaku answered without hesitation in response to Zhang Miao's question.
Hearing Fukaku's response, Zhang Miao's mouth twitched again a few times before he sighed deeply.
"Ah, yes, I did say that. You're right. Since you've brought Shisui's body back, bring it to me!"
For Zhang Miao, who possessed the "One's Own Life Reincarnation Jutsu", a corpse was akin to a living person. All he needed were some ordinary ninja fragments.
Moreover, now that he had established the Temple of the Nether King in Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and even in Konoha, Zhang Miao had a stable source of ordinary ninja fragments. Under these circumstances, the amount of ordinary ninja fragments needed to resurrect Shisui could be considered negligible.
Fukaku was unaware of Zhang Miao's thoughts. Upon hearing his words, he immediately nodded and then turned to the young man standing at the door, calling out to him.
"Come in!"
As Fukaku's words fell, a young man carrying a huge scroll walked in through the door.
Upon seeing this person, Zhang Miao's eyes widened suddenly.
"Uh... Shisui? Didn't you die?"
As he said this, Zhang Miao suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead, "No, you're not Shisui, you're Shiketsu!"
It turned out that the person entering at this moment was none other than Shiketsu, a shinobi recruited by Zhang Miao using the ninja fragments of Shisui.
When Zhang Miao called out his name, Shiketsu immediately placed the scroll he was carrying on the ground and kneeled before Zhang Miao.
"Greetings to the boss. Following Fugaku-sama's orders, I am responsible for monitoring the situation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha and the Land of Waves. I heard about the connection between Shisui and the boss, so I brought his body back. Please rest assured, I did not alert anyone in Konoha while doing this!"
Upon hearing Shiketsu's words, Zhang Miao nodded immediately.
"Good job. I'll have a new task for you later. You can rise for now!"
"Yes, boss!" As Zhang Miao's words fell, Shiketsu immediately agreed and then stood to the side.
Once Shiketsu moved aside, Zhang Miao's gaze fell upon the huge scroll on the ground, and he furrowed his brow.
"It seems that the sealed content in this scroll should be Shisui's body. The seal for this kind of scroll, if I remember correct should be 'rabbit'".
At this point, Zhang Miao immediately reached out to open the scroll on the ground. Placing one hand on the sealing technique of the scroll and forming a "rabbit" hand seal with the other hand, he uttered in a low voice.
"Release!"
Upon his command, the scroll suddenly emitted a burst of white smoke. After the smoke dissipated, a pale-faced figure appeared before Zhang Miao. Who else but Shisui?
At this moment, Shisui's eyes were shut, his face pale, and the skin on his hands slightly wrinkled, suggesting he had been immersed in water for a long time.
Seeing him in this state, Zhang Miao sighed helplessly.
"Ah, it seems that Shisui suffered a lot before his death. Nevertheless, this is for the better. At least, he won't have to get involved in those absurd power struggles anymore."
Saying this, Zhang Miao placed both hands on Shisui's body and took a deep breath.
"One's Own Life Reincarnation!"
As Zhang Miao's voice rang out, a greenish light immediately radiated from his hands. As these rays appeared, Shisui's originally pallid complexion gradually began to regain a healthier hue.
When the green light dissipated from Zhang Miao's hands, a notification echoed once again in his mind.
"Ding! Consumption of 1600 ordinary ninja fragments completed. One's Own Life Reincarnation Jutsu successful. Shisui has been resurrected!"
As this system notification sounded, the previously prone Shisui slowly sat up, then knelt down before Zhang Miao.
"My Lord, Shisui greets you and thanks you for granting me a new life!"
Even though Shisui had been resurrected, his eyes remained tightly shut. Seeing this, Zhang Miao furrowed his brow.
"The One's Own Life Reincarnation Jutsu can heal wounds, but it seems it cannot restore the Mangekyō Sharingan. It appears we'll have to find another way for Shisui's eyes!"
Thinking this, Zhang Miao nodded lightly and addressed Shisui.
"Alright, Shisui, there's no need for such formality. From today onwards, you're no longer Shisui of Konoha; you are Shisui of the Land of Waves!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
As Zhang Miao finished speaking, Shisui immediately nodded.
"The Shisui of Konoha has died. What's alive now is the Shisui loyal to the Nether King!"
Right after Shisui's words, another system notification resounded in Zhang Miao's mind.
"Ding! Congratulations to Your Holiness for bestowing grace upon Shisui. Obtained 7-star Kage-level, Uchiha Shisui Ninja Fragment x10!"
Hearing this system notification, Zhang Miao couldn't help but break into a wide grin.
"Another source of 7-star ninja fragments! This will significantly speed up the refinement of the Shinigami's Mask!"
