"Is that Shisui's left eye?" Sasuke said as he saw a Sharingan in the crow's eyes.
He immediately jumped with all his power and grabbed the crow that was flying in a circle above Itachi's body.
"I'm sorry, little one," Sasuke apologized and plucked out the Mangekyo Sharingan from the crow's eye,s, which caused the crow to die.
"Gluttony," Sasuke said as a black vortex appeared from his hand, which absorbed Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan.

After absorbing Shisui's left eye, Sasuke wondered what went wrong and soon realized his mistake.
'Shit, Since I didn't bring Karin with me, she didn't help scatter my scent, which probably led Leaf ninjas to stick together instead of searching for me independently.
My guess is that Itachi clone couldn't use Kotoamatsukami on Naruto since he was with everyone this time.
They must have defeated Itachi's clone, which led to the crow to come back towards its owner,' Sasuke thought as he accurately guessed what happened.
'This is bad; without Itachi's Kotoamatsukami, no one will be able to undo Edo Tensei,' Sasuke thought as he realized he messed up.
He looked towards Itachi's body and decided to absorb it since there was no reason to leave Itachi's body now.
"Gluttony" Sasuke said as he absorbed Itachi's body.
Sasuke's original plan was to kill Itachi and leave his body behind for Kabuto to collect his DNA for Edo Tensei but he changed his plan after seeing Kotoamatsukami.
'Wait, couldn't I have still cast it on Edo Itachi? Why have I become so dumb?' He said as he face palmed due to overlooking such a simple thing.

"Wait what?" Sasuke was shocked after seeing the system's notifications. He didn't expected to receive both of those weapons after absorbing Itachi's corpse.
'Maybe Susanoo is related to your body too alongside your eyes. I mean Madara used Susanoo while being blind' Sasuke thought as he decided to leave.
'I should head back to that inn first' Sasuke thought as he disappeared.
However, Sasuke had no idea that he was being watched from afar by two individuals.
"Are you not going to approach Sasuke?" Zetsu asked Obito as they watched Sasuke leave.
"It could be dangerous to approach him now due to him having Kotoamatsukami" Obito said as he watched Sasuke leave as he left behind a dead crow.
To be honest, Sasuke's existence had started to annoy him.
He was fooling around with the Leaf ninjas when Zetsu appeared and told Obito that both of the Uchiha brothers vanished from the hideout.
Obito said his goodbye to the Leaf ninjas and tasked Zetsu to find them. He didn't want Sasuke to run away since he considered him his asset.
He knew that Itachi wouldn't kill Sasuke because he had seen through Itachi a while ago. He even knew that Itachi was a spy of the Leaf which is why he confronted him in the past.
The only reason why Obito never took any action was because Itachi threatened him with Kotoamatsukami after explaining what it did.
He threatened Obito to brainwash him if he took any action against the Leaf which is why he was waiting for him to die.
Although he could have blitzed Itachi but that wouldn't have solved the problem since Itachi's crow was the one that had it.
He also didn't try to attack the crow because he was sure that Itachi kept something secret. Maybe Kotoamatsukami would affect him if he tried to touch the crow.
So in the end, he kept using Itachi for his goal of Infinite Tsukuyomi without hurting the Leaf Village.
Itachi and his threat of Kotoamatsukami was also the reason why he never tried to control the 3rd Hokage as he did to the Mizukage and ran the whole of The Hidden Leaf Village.
So, Obito was extremely annoyed when he found Sasuke alongside a dead crow with Itachi nowhere to be seen.
He wanted to attack Sasuke right there before he could understand Kotoamatsukami but Sasuke suddenly disappeared which made Obito shocked since he knew what jutsu he used to run away.
"What is Kotoamatsukami either way?" Zetsu asked Obito.
"Kotoamatsukami is the strongest genjutsu that cannot be blocked by any means. Once it is casted, The target will listen to any command of the caster but it can only be used once every ten years" Obito explain about Kotoamatsukami.
"Such a powerful genjutsu!" Zetsu was shocked after hearing about Kotoamatsukami.
"Not only does he have Kotoamatsukami, he also has Flying Thundergod. He must be eliminated at all costs," Obito said as he felt regret for not killing Sasuke when he had the chance.
"How can we kill him if he has Kotoamatsukami?" Zetsu asked.
"We have to make him use Kotoamatsukami first before killing him" Obito said as he made a plan.
He didn't want to fight Sasuke head-on because he could have escaped from his Kamui by using Flying Thundergod and using Kotoamatsukami on him.
"Didn't you wanted Sasuke on your side? We can tell him the truth about Itachi and try to win him over" Black Zetsu said.
"We can try but I don't think that will work. I have a feeling that Itachi might have told him about me. We can't take any risk." Obito said.
"Where should we start?" Zetsu asked.
"First, go and search The Hidden Sound Village. Something is very weird there. Most of the people that were set free from Orochimaru were civilians but there is no news about ninjas.
More importantly, some of our informants who were sent to gather information have died to Sound ninjas which means that the ninjas are alive and are working for someone" Obito said.
"And you suspect that Sasuke is the one behind everything ?" Zetsu asked.
"Precisely, everything about it is well organized and has been given some thought. I believe that either Sasuke or some underling of Orochimaru is running the Hidden Sound Village". Obito said
"Ok" Zetsu said as they both left the area.
