After leaving the Cremation Shop, the Third Hokage's expression was grave.
He walked straight to the confinement room.
Danzo, seated in the corner, opened his eyes and met his gaze coldly.
Though he only had one eye, his presence was not the slightest bit weaker.
I just refuse to accept you!
The Third Hokage slowly said, "I just came back from Uchiha Yishū."
He had only fused with Shisui's eyes and had yet to fully adapt to this power.
But!
"The reason I saved you was because you had a great figure."
[Kekkei Genkai: Mangekyō Sharingan {Pupil Power: Level 7 (14%)}]
With these eyes, Yishū finally had the courage to face Uchiha Madara.
Nagato?
[Lightning Release]
"You're beautiful!"
Yet Yishū had transplanted a pair of eyes that did not belong to him...
As Yishū moved, the bandages unraveled layer by layer.
"They're only Three Tomoe, not Mangekyo!" the Third Hokage impatiently interrupted. "Besides, these eyes will be given to Shisui. I trust that child."
Yishū cackled strangely. "Do you think I saved your life because I have a kind heart? Wrong. I'm an evil Uchiha."
Danzo finally spoke. "You're giving Kagami's eyes to Uchiha Yishū? You should understand just how powerful those eyes are."
Back then, Tobirama Senju had valued Kagami Uchiha not only for his character, but also for his talent.
The Third Hokage shook his head. "They most likely aren't his own eyes. I arranged for a sensory ninja to examine Yishū. There are slight rejection reactions between his body and the transplanted eyes. That would not happen if they were his own."
Kotoamatsukami's ability was extremely formidable.
[Water Ball Technique: Level 6 (84%)]
Moreover, after being used once, its cooldown was between five and six years.
[Dragon Fire Technique: Level 6 (66%)]
What about Uchiha Yishū's eyes?
"Probably not!" the Third Hokage said quietly. "The sensory ninja I arranged was Inoichi Yamanaka."
Two eyes meant two uses.
This was only the Eternal Mangekyo ability brought by Shisui. Yishū himself was also a Mangekyo user and possessed a unique power.
Then there was his Chakra amount, which had doubled to 21 cards. He was not far from 22 cards either.
The woman let out a faint sigh, slowly rose to her feet, and said, "Must it be this way? I was originally very grateful to you."
Kagami's pupils had only been Three Tomoe as well.
[Great Fireball Technique: Level 6 (69%)] [Water Dragon Bullet Technique: Level 6 (89%)]
Cackle, cackle, cackle!
Yishū could not be blamed for being excited. The Eternal Mangekyo was simply too incredible.
This ability had been completely inherited and strengthened by Yishū.
[Chakra: 219,031 points!]
"Tomorrow, I'll give Kagami's eyes to you."
The supposed loss of the Mangekyo seemed more like a trap aimed at him.
[Ninjutsu]
It had been inherited by Yishū!
Uchiha Kagami's Three Tomoe were Sharingan that were extremely close to becoming Mangekyo.
The Third Hokage's tone grew heavier. "Konoha needs peace right now. I don't want another disturbance over a pair of Sharingan."
Danzo fell silent.
[Chakra: 21 cards (90%)]
Heh, so what if they were Rinnegan?
After all, they were not his own eyes. Against their owner, Yishū was confident he could win.
[Ninjutsu: Level 6 (88%)]
With these eyes, Yishū could finally begin many of his plans.
There were differences even among Three Tomoe.
The woman's eye twitched.
"Your body and mind..."
His Taijutsu had also advanced from Level 5 to Level 6.
Its power was so immense that it terrified countless people.
Yishū covered his eyes with his palm, revealing a pair of scarlet Sharingan through the gaps between his fingers.
[Phoenix Sage Fire Technique: Level 6 (54%)]
Because he had suffered a tremendous loss.
"If you lose, everything you have will belong to me!"
"Hey!"
Good lord!
In front of this man, strength had been relegated to the very end.
Even his Ninjutsu had reached the verge of advancing.
Only once he could wield these eyes as easily as his own limbs would the explosive growth of his power stop.
[Earth Release]
"She's strong too!"
[Water Release]
"Really not!"
He stared fixedly at the woman and laughed wildly. "The most beautiful back in the ninja world, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. If you can defeat me, I'll set you free."
Danzo looked disdainful. "Hiruzen, are you afraid of the Uchiha?"
Shisui's power had already fused with him, and all his data had stabilized.
And!
The Third Hokage did not care and continued, "During his conversation with me, he hinted that I should give Kagami's eyes to him. I had promised him that as well. Danzo, I'll ask you one more time: where are Kagami's eyes?"
The Third Hokage turned and left, leaving only one sentence echoing through the air;
"Danzo, how many people does your Root still have left?"
Its effect was to unconsciously manipulate others at will, permanently and completely changing their thoughts and will.
As time passed, all the data should continue to rise.
Danzo's face immediately turned pitch-black.
"Danzo!"
Danzo remained silent.
"Do you know how powerful Kagami's Sharingan is?"
"Of course. The chances of me losing are not high."
[Taijutsu: Level 6 (3%)] [Fire Release]
"Not Uchiha Yishū, but Uchiha Shisui!"
This was Yishū's new status panel.
It had likewise been strengthened.
Danzo did not make a sound.
Genjutsu was the strongest of them all, directly surpassing Level 6 and reaching Level 7.
This was the ultimate Genjutsu mastered solely by Uchiha Shisui, known as the "strongest Genjutsu."
Under the Third Hokage's increasingly sharp gaze, Danzo finally nodded.
"Conversely!"
He had always leaned toward the belief that the missing Mangekyo was a show orchestrated by Uchiha Yishū himself.
His Pupil Power had also advanced to Level 7.
Danzo said coldly, "Once such a pair of eyes is returned to the Uchiha..."
The only troublesome part was that after each use, it required more than ten years of cooldown. Unless one possessed Hashirama Senju's Chakra, there was no way to change that.
To put it exaggeratively, he was Konoha's number one sensory ninja.
Now, it was time to remove the seal!
[Genjutsu: Level 7 (5%)]
All his data had improved.
"Come on!"
At that time, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Ninja Hero, would be nothing but a child for him to cut down with a single strike!
No, a little monkey!
What delighted Yishū most was... Kotoamatsukami!
"You'd better not be lying to me!" the Third Hokage said blandly. "The Uchiha should have a way to verify it. If they discover a forgery, you know the consequences."
[Uchiha Yishū!] [Age: 15]
Danzo's expression shifted slightly as he said in a deep voice, "His own eyes?"
"No!"
"What do you think?"
The Third Hokage slowly said, "Yishū already has a pair of Sharingan."
Danzo was somewhat stunned.
Inoichi Yamanaka's sensory Ninjutsu ranked among the best in all of Konoha.
Yishū stretched out his hand and clenched it fiercely. "I'm taking them."
Are you really a ninja?
Why are you like some ordinary hooligan?
