The Real World.
In front of the grand Buddha statue in Konoha, Shimura Danzo is covered in blood, painfully clutching his eye sockets.
This old man is recalling the illusionary world he experienced, somewhat incredulously feeling the somewhat hollow eye sockets in his palm, wondering what exactly is happening!
It was just...
An illusion.
Why did the eye he took from Uchiha Shisui disappear completely in the real world after it was taken from him in the illusionary world, even the wound in the eye socket remained, as if all this had actually happened...
"It was you..."
Shimura Danzo looked up at the man in the mask in front of him: "Uchiha Obito, it was you who used the illusion to take my eye!"
"That wasn't your eye!"
The man in the mask scoffed disdainfully, kicking Danzo and sending him flying: "I should thank you for that, Danzo. Without you, it wouldn't have been easy to take Uchiha Shisui's eye..."
"Bastard..."
"I really didn't expect Shisui's eye to be a Kotoamatsukami..."
The man in the mask, looking at Shimura Danzo lying on the ground in pain and cursing angrily, chuckled and soothed his emotions: "Well, from now on, you don't have to worry about Uchiha Shisui using Kotoamatsukami on you anymore."
"You bastard..."
Shimura Danzo continued to curse at the masked man.
This was truly more troublesome than ever before, the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan that can change wills had fallen into the hands of the rogue ninja from the Konoha, Uchiha Obito!
If Uchiha Obito were to use Kotoamatsukami on the ninjas of the Konoha, or even on the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Konoha would face an unimaginable crisis...
No.
This information cannot be lost.
Right, he absolutely cannot die here!
Because this message must be passed back, to prevent Uchiha Obito, the rogue ninja, from using Kotoamatsukami to control the ninjas in the village in the future, Shimura Danzo, enduring the pain in his eye sockets, got up and ran towards the direction of the Root's base!
"Run... Run..."
The man in the mask didn't care at all about Shimura Danzo's escape, even watching his retreating figure, murmuring to himself: "Remember everything that happened today, remember it was Uchiha Obito who took the Kotoamatsukami that can change wills..."
Then.
The man in the mask looked towards the distant forest.
Inside the forest, on Uchiha Shisui's body appeared a green, tall torso of Susanoo, continuously firing green chakra arrows from Susanoo's chest, defeating and killing a group of pursuing Root ninjas!
"Not bad in strength…"
The man wearing the mask watched as the green Susanoo dissipated, slowly removing his own mask and his body gradually changing, revealing his true face.
Akihara Kagura.
To increase the fame of his superior, Uchiha Obito, Akihara Kagura even worked during his rest time, taking over the task of retrieving Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami for his superior.
This way, the rest of the ninja world would surely fear his superior's name even more, and everyone would know that his superior, Uchiha Obito, was not to be trifled with!
At any moment in the ninja world, someone could be controlled by Uchiha Obito's Kotoamatsukami, anyone could become a puppet of Uchiha Obito's genjutsu!
"There's another Kotoamatsukami."
Akihara Kagura saw the Susanoo disappearing in the distance and chased after it in the direction of Uchiha Shisui: "However, there are things more precious than Kotoamatsukami..."
Atop a cliff.
Uchiha Shisui had dealt with a group of Anbu ninja chasing him and immediately contacted Uchiha Itachi, who was nearby to assist him, asking him to meet.
"Shisui!"
Uchiha Itachi was surprised to see his friend with only one eye left.
"I originally wanted to use Kotoamatsukami to stop the coup."
Uchiha Shisui, covering his eye socket, felt despair over his inability to change the situation, making him numb to the pain of his wounds: "Lord Danzo did not believe me, took away my right eye, and insisted on resolving everything in his own way, I fear he won't spare my left eye either..."
"Before that."
Uchiha Shisui reached for his left eye and forcefully gouged it out, handing it to Uchiha Itachi: "I entrust this eye to you, my dear friend, please protect the future of Konoha and the Uchiha!"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi looked at his friend, who had lost both eyes, with deeply furrowed brows.
If he couldn't protect the last remaining Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan and it fell into the hands of Shimura Danzo, things could become even more troublesome.
A ninja crow suddenly flew down from the sky, landing on Uchiha Shisui's palm, grabbing the eye, and then disappearing into a flurry of feathers.
This was Uchiha Itachi's summoning animal.
After releasing his ninja crow summoning, Uchiha Itachi softly continued to ask: "I've accepted it, what do you plan to do?"
"If I die, perhaps the situation might change?"
Uchiha Shisui closed his eyes, which had lost their sight, and slowly backed up to the edge of the cliff. "Ever since I used Susanoo during the Chunin Exam, all the clan members thought my Mangekyo Sharingan and Susanoo could suppress everything. This led everyone to become more and more aggressive. In fact, I had considered suicide long ago…"
"Shisui!"
Uchiha Itachi's face changed, and he was about to step forward!
"I have already written my will."
Uchiha Shisui continued to step back, and with one step falling into the air, he went down: "Don't stop me, Itachi, the fire was started by my own hands…"
"That was to save me!"
Uchiha Itachi leaped forward, trying to catch the other!
However, they missed each other, and Uchiha Itachi could only watch helplessly as Uchiha Shisui's body fell down, pain instantly flooding his brain!
"Only this way…"
"Can extinguish the flames that I started with my own hands."
Uchiha Shisui finished his last words in life and fell calmly.
"Shisui!"
Uchiha Itachi felt as if he could not sense his own perception!
The death of his dear friend nearly drove Uchiha Itachi's brain to collapse, also causing him a great shock, and a unique chakra appeared in his brain...
This unique chakra, exclusive to the Uchiha clan, reflected on Uchiha Itachi's three tomoe Sharingan, causing the three tomoe to immediately spin and connect, transforming into a pair of windmill-like Sharingan!
Even one of the eye sockets bled!
This is the Amaterasu Eye!
The Amaterasu Eye, historically known as the strongest physical attack in the Uchiha clan, once used, would impose a huge burden on the body, causing the eye socket to bleed...
The other Mangekyo Sharingan...
The Mangekyo Sharingan, historically known as the strongest genjutsu attack in the Uchiha clan!
This is a psychic reflection of the eye that could greatly enhance the power of the Uchiha clan, known as the Mangekyo Sharingan!
At the age of eleven, Uchiha Itachi finally obtained the power that everyone thought he would eventually get, but the price of this power was the death of a dear friend!
Uchiha Itachi looked down at the Naka River below the cliff, but could no longer find Uchiha Shisui, who had jumped into the river to commit suicide. He could only turn around and leave this place with a face full of sorrow.
The Naka River continued to flow.
This river, which once witnessed the rise and fall of the Uchiha clan, once again witnessed a pivotal moment in the history of the Uchiha clan, even providing a final resting place for a powerful Uchiha.
The moment Uchiha Shisui jumped into the Naka River, he no longer resisted the river water rushing into his mouth and nose, letting the river water enter his body, only wishing to drown in the river water as soon as possible.
Just as Uchiha Shisui's body was drifting along with the river, on the verge of death, a force suddenly pulled his body out of the water!
"Banshō Ten'in!"
Accompanied by a strange force, Uchiha Shisui's body involuntarily flew out of the water, landing on the rocks at the riverbank.
Uchiha Shisui involuntarily spit out the river water he had choked on, but the water had been in his body for too long, and he had already lost consciousness.
Even if someone performed first aid, it might not be possible to save him.
"I have a question…"
The newcomer walked over to Uchiha Shisui's side, looked at the unconscious suicide victim, and asked indifferently, "Does your soul wish to go to the Pure Land, or would you like to stay in the present world to observe?"
"It seems there's no consciousness to answer."
"Let's assume it's for revenge against you and Uchiha Itachi…"
The newcomer's voice was somewhat elusive, muttering to himself, "Since it's to take revenge on you and Uchiha Itachi, let's let you watch everything that happens in this world closely!"
"First, let the soul linger in the present world… Human Path."
The newcomer suddenly stretched out his palm, placed it on Uchiha Shisui's head, and calmly pulled out Uchiha Shisui's soul!
This was one of the abilities of the Rinnegan!
Anyone who possessed the Rinnegan could not only automatically master the six types of chakra nature transformations but could also communicate with the yin and yang, and the netherworld!
Uchiha Shisui's soul left his body instantly!
At this moment!
Uchiha Shisui's soul finally realized what was happening. He saw the person who appeared next to his body, it was Akihara Kagura, whom he had seen before!
However, Akihara Kagura at this moment was different from when Uchiha Shisui had seen him alive, actually possessing a pair of Rinnegan eyes, which only the legendary Sage of the Six Paths was said to have!
"Then…"
"Use Yin-Yang Escape to create a chakra receiver."
Akihara Kagura's palms condensed into a series of pitch-black rods, forcefully stabbing into Uchiha Shisui's body, gradually allowing this body to reuse chakra again.
This is the process of creating Six Paths puppets with the Rinnegan.
As Akihara Kagura finished inserting the chakra receivers, the body of Uchiha Shisui seemed to come back to life, his previously lost eyes suddenly opened wide, revealing a pair of Rinnegan identical to Akihara Kagura's!
"Stuff the soul back in..."
With a wave of his hand, Akihara Kagura inserted the soul he extracted using the power of the Rinnegan slowly into the completed Six Paths puppet!
"This is..."
Uchiha Shisui incredulously felt his own cold body and incredulously looked at Akihara Kagura in front of him: "Akihara Kagura, who exactly... are you?"
"Someone who wants to take revenge on you."
Akihara Kagura's eyes were fixed on him, as if looking at a corpse.
"Let's try and see..."
With his consciousness, Akihara Kagura commanded: "Let me see if you retain the abilities you had in life. I remember if a soul of the deceased exists within a Six Paths puppet, it should be able to use some of its original jutsu abilities..."
Boom!
Uchiha Shisui involuntarily raised his finger!
Uchiha Shisui's body instantly created a group of clones, his original body constantly switching between them, utilizing the unique teleportation technique he could use!
All of Uchiha Shisui's clones instantly vanished, leaving only the original, who clasped his hands together and exhaled a huge fireball!
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Not bad."
Akihara Kagura nodded in satisfaction.
The next moment!
Green skeletal structures emerged from Uchiha Shisui's body, clearly his once-used Susanoo, even faster than when he activated Susanoo in the past!
"Is it your Susanoo?"
Akihara Kagura touched his chin, musing to himself: "I thought after you used it, it would be the Susanoo I used. The abilities that can be retained are all from when the person was alive..."
"And..."
"Once Susanoo has been activated, can it still be activated even without the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
"..."
Uchiha Shisui was somewhat panicked.
Because all his movements were not under his own control, but rather his body involuntarily completed them, he has now become a puppet manipulated by Akihara Kagura!
"It seems my first creation is not bad, retaining all the abilities from before death except for the Kotoamatsukami. Other than that, everything has been preserved..."
As Akihara Kagura experimented, he speculated on the results: "Perhaps it's also related to the fact that the puppet was made from the real body before death."
"So..."
"There's only one experiment left."
Akihara Kagura controlled Uchiha Shisui, who was in front of him, to raise his hand.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Uchiha Shisui's body suddenly exploded with a repulsive force!
This powerful repulsion instantly shattered the reef, but when it touched Akihara Kagura's body, the repulsion was pushed back, sending Uchiha Shisui's body flying!
Soon.
Uchiha Shisui's body flew back.
"The experiment is complete."
Akihara Kagura was very satisfied with his first creation, summarizing the results of his experiment: "First, the Six Paths puppet should preferably be the puppet's body before death, avoiding the use of inferior substitutes like the Reanimation Jutsu, and it's best to choose a puppet with strong abilities;
Second, the Six Paths puppet ideally requires the puppet's soul from before death, which can be extracted in advance using the Human Path, ensuring the puppet retains its combat strength from before death to the greatest extent;
Third, the chakra consumed by the Six Paths puppet is all my chakra, which cannot automatically recover and is entirely dependent on my chakra transmission..."
"With that said..."
Akihara Kagura seemed to have completed his experimental hypothesis, continuing leisurely: "The Six Paths puppet is not controlled by the eyes, but through a chakra receiver, sharing the field of vision. Therefore, his eyes should be the manifestation of my eyes..."
After saying this, Akihara Kagura's Rinnegan began to fade, soon turning into a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, which startled Uchiha Shisui's consciousness inexplicably!
Uchiha Shisui's Rinnegan Eyes also transformed into a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, his soul almost shockingly overwhelmed. This pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, compared to the legendary Rinnegan, shocked Uchiha Shisui's soul even more!
"Akihara Kagura, you are a member of the Uchiha clan!"
The soul of Uchiha Shisui seemed to have found its kindred, and upon being granted the control over the puppet, he pleaded, "Kagura, please help Itachi, help him stop the coup d'état by our clansmen. You have the power to change all of this!"
...
The eyes of Akihara Kagura returned to normal.
As Akihara Kagura's real eyes turned back to normal, the body of the Six Paths puppet that was Uchiha Shisui also reverted to normal eyes.
If no one could see the array of chakra receivers embedded in Uchiha Shisui's body, they might even think he was no different from a living person!
"Kagura."
Uchiha Shisui looked at what might be the most terrifying genius in the history of Konoha and continued to plead softly, "At least stop what's happening tonight…"
"It was resolved when you died."
Akihara Kagura provided an answer, looking at Uchiha Shisui and then suddenly asked, "Have you forgotten? Last year, in the exam, to save Uchiha Itachi, you used Susanoo to kill the Wooden Dragon, which was the root cause of all this?"
...
The soul of Uchiha Shisui calmed down suddenly.
"From today onwards, you are Tendo Shisui!"
Akihara Kagura looked at his Six Paths puppet and named his first creation.
After naming him, Akihara Kagura proactively addressed a preservation issue, "Tendo Shisui, I will seal and preserve you first, to prevent your body from decaying without chakra conduction..."
...
The soul of Uchiha Shisui was silent, not knowing what to say.
"By the way, you're a genius, so you must know sealing techniques, right?"
Akihara Kagura looked at his creation, Tendo Shisui, and continued to ask, "If you do, teach me how to seal things in scrolls first…"
...
The soul of Uchiha Shisui was truly silenced by this genius.
