Capturing Shisui Uchiha Alive

Iwagakure)

A few days later, Yichen once again took Chiga, Sokai, and Izumi Uchiha and left the village.

The reason they set off at this time was because Izumi Uchiha needed to digest the eye power she had absorbed from Obito Uchiha.

This time, Yichen's destination was Konoha. Of course, Yichen and his group were still far from being able to force their way into Konoha.

Yichen still had to wait outside Konoha for Shisui Uchiha to leave the village.

On the way, Sokai asked, "Teacher Yichen, why don't we go find Itachi Uchiha first?"

Yichen glanced at him. He couldn't very well say that Itachi Uchiha was protected by the Sage of Six Paths because of his younger brother.

So Yichen said, "Itachi Uchiha has a powerful backer now, it's best not to provoke him."

The group of Sokai and his companions exchanged glances, none of them understanding who Yichen was referring to as his powerful backer. Who could be so strong that even the troublemaking Fox of Stone dared not offend him?

Yichen didn't want them to dwell on the Sage of Six Paths, so he changed the subject, asking, "Quan Luo, how is your eye power now?"

Izumi Uchiha said, "Lord Tsuchikage, I have absorbed the ocular power from Obito Uchiha, and my ocular power has increased significantly, now even stronger than when it first awakened."

After thinking for a moment, Yichen asked, "Do you have any special feelings? For example, is it that you can digest eye power faster than before? Or that using the Mangekyō Sharingan consumes less energy? Or that the Mangekyō Sharingan is more powerful?"

Izumi Uchiha looked at Yichen strangely and said, "Is the Lord Tsuchikage Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?"

Yichen nodded and said, "Neither you nor Sokai have any close blood relatives, nor do you Mangekyō Sharingan that you can fuse with."

"Logically speaking, you have no chance of creating Eternal Mangekyo."

"However, your Dōjutsu is special; perhaps your ability to absorb eye power is a way to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."

Izumi Uchiha thought about it carefully and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, of the situations you mentioned, I only seem to feel the first one; my speed of digesting eye power is indeed faster than before."

"As for whether the consumption of ocular power decreases when using the Mangekyō Sharingan, I can't really feel it, and even if it does, it's not noticeable."

"After all, I haven't used the Mangekyō Sharingan that many times, and each time the situation is different, so it's hard to compare."

"As for the power of the Dōjutsu, it hasn't increased."

Yichen nodded, glanced at Sokai, and said, "We can try again later, absorbing the pupil power of more people, preferably from different people; perhaps there will be some changes."

Sokai felt a little uneasy after Yichen's words.

"Teacher Yichen, why were you looking at me when you said that?" Sokai stammered.

Yichen rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look at you, so cowardly. What's wrong with making a little sacrifice for your Sister Izumi?"

"Don't worry, I still have one of Shisui Uchiha's eyes. Once you go blind, I'll transplant it into you. His Dōjutsu is even stronger than yours."

Sokai:...

How can I feel at ease with this?

Izumi Uchiha to the side, smiled knowingly.

Behind the three, Chiga thought to himself, "Teacher Yichen, it must have been really tough for you to get Izumi Uchiha join the village."

Seemingly sensing Chiga's thoughts, Yichen turned and glanced at Chiga.

Chiga blinked, then immediately stepped forward and took Izumi Uchiha's arm, saying, "Sister Izumi, let me tell you some embarrassing things Sokai past."

Izumi Uchiha, and she said, "Okay."

Sokai quickly said, "Chiga, please stop!"

Chiga ignored Sokai and Izumi Uchiha, saying, "Sister Izumi, I used to be Sokai's teammate, but back then Sokai had another name, Zhongxing, the Libra Zhongxing."

"He was a notorious Dead Last in school; I don't know how he got into the Advanced Class. His practical skills were bad enough, but his academic grades were even worse."

"The reputation of those who quit at the Dead Last Sokai is so great that even we Regular Class know it..."

Listening to Chiga's account, Yichen mentally gave her a thumbs up. It proved that most of the disciples he, the Fox of Stone Iwagakure, trained were indeed intelligent.

People like Uzumaki Riori and Sokai are, after all, a minority, isolated cases.

Amidst Chiga's exaggerated description of Sokai's past embarrassing incidents, Yichen led the three to the Land of Fire.

Yichen hid in a relatively secluded dense forest dozens of kilometers away from Konoha, and began to wait for Shisui Uchiha to leave Konoha.

Yichen certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to wait for Shisui Uchiha to leave Konoha on his own; he had to find a way to lure him out.

Before coming, Yichen already had a rough plan. He found a group of Konoha ninja had just finished a mission and were preparing to return to the village, and then used Porcelain Release to form a giant python.

Yichen swallowed the ninjas whole with the python, and then quietly waited for Shisui Uchiha to appear.

There aren't many ninjas in Konoha who can stand up to Orochimaru's level, so I believe Shisui Uchiha will likely be dispatched.

Yichen's actions quickly proved effective; nearby Konoha ninja soon discovered the battlefield and reported it to the village immediately.

Danzo was furious when he heard that Orochimaru was still causing trouble near the village. He immediately decided to teach Orochimaru a lesson, or at least expel him from the Land of Fire.

However, as the Hokage, a wise man avoids dangerous situations, so he naturally cannot personally take on such a perilous mission.

Therefore, Danzo dispatched Shisui Uchiha and Kakashi.

Danzo originally intended to send Hiruzen Sarutobi as well, but after thinking about it, he realized that Konoha couldn't be without skilled protectors to protect him, the Hokage, so he didn't send Hiruzen Sarutobi.

While Danzo enjoyed the sense of security that his best friend provided, Shisui Uchiha and Kakashi also left Konoha.

The two led a large number of Anbu to the battlefield to gather intelligence.

The two chose Anbu specifically to counter Orochimaru's various abilities.

However, the two were unaware that from the moment they left Konoha, Yichen had been keeping an eye on them.

The moment Shisui Uchiha left Konoha, he was located by Chiga.

However, because he was unsure whether any powerful individuals were accompanying Shisui Uchiha, Yichen did not act rashly.

Yichen first using Mind's Eye to carefully monitor Shisui Uchiha and his group.

"Konoha really values Orochimaru. They've sent forty people this time, and they're all quite strong. They should all be elite members of the Anbu," Yichen said with a smile.

After sensing for a while longer, Yichen said, "Besides Shisui Uchiha, there's another old acquaintance: Kakashi Hatake."

"Three Mangekyō Sharingan in total. It's a pity, Quan Luo, you can only absorb their power once. Otherwise, you could have drained Shisui Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake dry."

Yichen was very familiar with Kakashi's Chakra, especially his Sharingan, which could not be closed, and was very conspicuous in Yichen's perception, making it easy for him to distinguish.

Hearing Yichen's words, Izumi Uchiha was also somewhat disappointed. She thought for a moment and said, "Lord Tsuchikage, how about absorbing less first? That way, I might be able to absorb it again?"

Yichen thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Don't worry about Kakashi Hatake, just focus on absorbing Shisui Uchiha's eye power."

"You have absorbed the eye power of Shisui Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, Obito Uchiha."

"This time, I'll absorb the power of Fugaku Uchiha's Shisui Uchiha Sharingan from Mangekyō Sharingan."

"I'll absorb another wave from Sokai later, and try to absorb all the Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular power."

Sokai: "Teacher Yichen, why do I get the feeling that you've been hoping that Sister Izumi will absorb my eye power?"

Yichen glanced at the aggrieved Sokai and said, "Quan Luo's Dōjutsu is too rare. What if absorbing different eye powers from different people could upgrade the Mangekyo to the Eternal Mangekyo?"

"Kakashi Hatake's Mangekyō Sharingan is Obito Uchiha's; it would have been better if he had absorbed Fugaku Uchiha's."

Izumi Uchiha and asked, "When do we make our move?"

Yichen said, "Let's wait a little longer, until we get closer, then I'll take another look. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll go over. It's always better to be careful than to fall into Konoha's trap."

After thinking for a moment, Yichen took out three more sets of Iwagakure Anbu uniforms and handed them to the three men.

A moment later, Yichen and his group also arrived near the scene of the incident.

Since it was daytime and easy to spot from the air, Yichen opted for low-altitude flight.

However, as he got closer to Shisui Uchiha, Kakashi, and the others, Yichen suddenly turned his gaze to a tree not far away.

With a furrowed brow, Yichen stretched out his hand and softly uttered, "Banshō Ten'in!"

Then an inconspicuous little insect was sucked into Yichen's hand.

Upon seeing this, Chiga said, "They're insects from the Aburame Clan. We've been exposed."

Yichen nodded, took out a bottle and put the insect in it, then cast Sealing Jutsu to isolate his senses.

"We've already been exposed, let's launch a full-scale attack," Yichen said calmly.

The fact that they were exposed at this time was not surprising to Yichen and his two companions, as they were now less than a few kilometers away from Shisui Uchiha and the others.

If Yichen were to unleash his full power, he could already attack Shisui Uchiha and the others from this distance.

After saying that, Yichen nodded to the three of them, then accelerated forward while forming hand Hand Seals to begin casting the Clone Technique.

After closing the distance further, Yichen stopped. By this time, he had created four clones. The four clones then took their positions according to the predetermined layout, ready to coordinate with the main body to unleash Ninjutsu.

But before that, Yichen first used Earth Release to dig a deep pit in the ground.

Taking a deep breath, Yichen and his four clones simultaneously Hand Seals and shouted in unison, "Immortal Technique - Great Five Elemental Bullet Technique!"

This was the second time Yichen had used Sage Art: Great Five Elemental Bullet Technique. This time, Yichen held back, not using up all his Chakra as he had when dealing with the Sunagakure.

Yichen only used one-third of his Chakra this time, but the power of this Ninjutsu was almost the pinnacle of S-rank Ninjutsu, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it reached the level of Super S-rank Ninjutsu.

The next moment, the explosion of the Immortal Technique - Great Five Elemental Bullet Technique began in front of them.

Yichen quickly led Sokai and the other two into the pre-dug underground space, and then used Earth Release to fill in the entrance.

Meanwhile, Kakashi had finished inspecting the scene. He asked Shisui Uchiha with a puzzled look, "Shun, did you notice anything wrong?"

Shun was Shisui Uchiha's code name in the Anbu.

Uchiha Shisui asked in confusion, "Kakashi-senpai, what do you mean?"

Kakashi said, "I had a vague feeling that something was wrong before we came. With Orochimaru's strength, there was no need to use a large Summoning Beast to kill a small team of weak ninjas."

"He could have done it silently with his Taijutsu alone, why would he act like this, as if he's afraid we won't know?"

Shisui Uchiha said, "Does that mean, senpai, someone is trying to confuse us? Deliberately making us think that Orochimaru is the one killing people?"

Kakashi nodded, pointing to the marks on the ground, and said, "These marks do indeed look like they were formed after a giant snake ran over us."

"But apart from the shape, nothing else is right. There's no snake smell, and no snake dander or bodily fluids."

Shisui Uchiha recalled his examination and nodded, saying, "Indeed, as you said, something is amiss. But if it wasn't a giant snake, what could have created these marks?"

Kakashi shook his head and said, "That's what I don't understand either."

Just then, a ninja from the Aburame Clan, dressed in Windbreaker Hood, suddenly said, "Lord Kakashi, someone is approaching from the northwest, and they're moving very fast."

Kakashi frowned, waved his hand, and made a gesture of readiness.

Then he asked, "Who is it? How many are there?"

The woman from the Aburame Clan did not answer immediately, but instead closed her eyes and sensed for a while.

Kakashi didn't urge them. The insects of the Aburame Clan are amazing; they can communicate with their masters remotely. However, the individual intelligence of each insect is limited, making it difficult to obtain accurate information.

After a while, the Aburame Clan ninja said, "There are four of them in total. The insects indicated that they are very strong. Moreover, they can fly."

Kakashi was taken aback. Flying? That was a fairly distinctive feature in the Ninja World. He began to quickly try to figure out who the newcomer was.

However, without even needing to use the process of elimination, the first person that popped into his mind was: Yichen.

Then, Kakashi wouldn't have to worry about anyone else.

There aren't many who would dare impersonate Orochimaru and also try to take advantage of their group. Coincidentally, Yichen fits both criteria, even his style of doing things.

The next moment, Kakashi said directly to Shisui Uchiha, "It's Porcelain Release."

Shisui Uchiha was taken aback, not quite understanding, and asked, "What?"

Kakashi, while pushing up his Forehead Protector over his left eye, explained, "The person who came was the Tsuchikage. The marks on the ground were made by the Tsuchikage using a large-scale Porcelain Release. Simply use Porcelain Release to form a snake shape, and these marks will appear when attacking an enemy."

Shisui Uchiha thought for a moment, then nodded, his expression immediately becoming extremely solemn.

Kakashi shouted directly, "The one coming might be the Tsuchikage! Change formation! Be careful of the Tsuchikage's ranged attacks! Defend first!"

Yichen is a well-known Ninjutsu- type ninja, whose fighting style is inconsistent with Orochimaru's, so the methods he had prepared to deal with Orochimaru were naturally ineffective.

However, as the dozens of Anbu were still changing formation, a Sensory Ninja suddenly shouted, "There's a violent Chakra fluctuation from the northwest! There are five of them, and they're using a powerful Ninjutsu!"

Kakashi's gaze sharpened. Five?

The information that Yichen has now revealed is now common knowledge.

In particular, the Sage Art - Great Five Elemental Bullet Technique, which directly inflicted heavy losses on the Sand Ninja Army, was a technique whose power had long been analyzed by Ninjutsu of Kakashi's caliber.

At that moment, Kakashi immediately connected Yichen with this Ninjutsu. His expression changed drastically, and he shouted urgently, "Use Earth Release! Hide underground!"

This was the only method Kakashi could think of when analyzing the intelligence.

As he spoke, he was already forming Hand Seals to cast Earth Release is a type of escape technique).

However, he underestimated Yichen's Hand Seals speed, or rather, he was doing it knowingly.

Kakashi had barely begun Hand Seals when Yichen's five Senjutsu attacked, and then the five Ninjutsu collided right before the eyes of the Konoha ninja.

Kakashi looked utterly desperate. The next moment, he gritted his teeth and unleashed the Mangekyou Sharingan technique from his already revealed left eye.

Kakashi's eye possesses the Dōjutsu of remote Kamui, which allows him to transfer objects within his field of vision into the Kamui Space.

This time, Kakashi moved to the epicenter of the Sage Art: Great Five Elemental Bullet Technique.

Whether it had any effect or not, Kakashi himself didn't know. He mobilized all the eye power he could to cast this Dōjutsu.

A miracle occurred; he succeeded. He truly connected the epicenter of the explosion to the Kamui Space at the very moment the explosion began.

But he failed, because the explosion still occurred, although most of the energy was transferred to the Kamui Space.

However, the impact still reached the Ninja World where everyone lived.

Although the Sage Art: Great Five Elemental Bullet Technique has been weakened considerably, its remaining explosive power is still enough to inflict fatal damage on the Konoha ninja present.

Even underground, Yichen was trying his best to sense the situation on the surface.

After a while, Yichen frowned and said, "What's going on? Why is the power of the Immortal Technique - Great Five Elemental Bullet Technique so weak this time?"

"Is that all the power you've got? I just said the name of the Ninjutsu aloud with my four clones in unison. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

After a while, once the explosion was over, Yichen, whose attempt to show off had failed, led the three of them out from underground.

The ground was a mess, with many dense trees uprooted, as if ravaged by a fierce wind.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Sokai and the other two were speechless, but Yichen became even more certain of one thing.

This immortal technique— the Great Five Elemental Bullet Technique— is definitely wrong. Last time in the desert, this technique created a huge crater in the ground, but this time it only destroyed some surface vegetation.

Yichen extended his senses to the location of Shisui Uchiha and the others once again.

As Yichen led the three forward, he said, "Most of the Konoha ninja have been killed or wounded; only a dozen Susanoo were saved by Shisui Uchiha."

"Yeah, they're running away. Shisui Uchiha stayed behind. Hmm? What happened to Kakashi Hatake?"

Yichen suddenly noticed that Kakashi's Chakra fluctuations were abnormal, much weaker than before.

Chiga asked, "Were you injured by the Ninjutsu just now?"

Yichen thought about it and realized it wasn't impossible.

Soon, the epicenter of the explosion appeared before Yichen and his companions.

Seeing this scene, Sokai and the other two looked puzzled, while Yichen was dumbfounded.

Only Shisui Uchiha remained in the arena, his eyes still wet with blood and tears; the others were either dead or had already been moved.

That's nothing, Yichen had already sensed it. What surprised Yichen was that a huge black hole appeared in mid-air, several hundred meters away from Shisui Uchiha.

Inside the black hole is another space, where square, protruding platforms are clearly visible.

"Kamui Space? This is Obito Uchiha's Kamui Space?" Yichen was somewhat bewildered.

"Kakashi used Kamui to redirect the explosion? During the redirection, the massive explosion blasted a passage between the two worlds?"

This scene looked somewhat familiar, somewhat like the Gravity Space outside Uzushio Village. So Yichen quickly guessed what had happened.

However, the connection between the Gravity Space and the Ninja World at that location of Uzushio Village is very stable.

But the huge hole is slowly recovering.

Yichen glanced at the closing void, then at Shisui Uchiha, and finally sensed Kakashi and the others heading away.

With a sigh, Yichen quickly made a decision.

"Take out Shisui Uchiha first! As planned, you'll lead the attack this time, and I'll cover you."

Yichen wanted to use Shisui Uchiha to test the Dōjutsu of Sokai and the others, so he did not go all out immediately.

"Yes." Sokai and Izumi Uchiha jumped off the Porcelain Platform and rushed towards Shisui Uchiha.

Ahead of the two, Yichen's Porcelain Release attack had already flown towards Shisui Uchiha.

Both of them Sokai dressed as Iwa Ninja Anbu, and initially did not attract Shisui Uchiha's attention.

Shisui Uchiha wanted to find an opportunity to kill the two first. So he dodged Yichen's Porcelain Release while searching for their weaknesses.

The opportunity came quickly. It was unclear whether these two Iwa Ninja Anbu were too careless or lacked experience in dealing with the Uchiha.

The two of them didn't even avoid his gaze as they charged forward.

Shisui Uchiha then looked at Sokai and directly used his Sharingan Genjutsu on Sokai.

Shisui Uchiha did not use a unique Dōjutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan, but rather Genjutsu that could be performed by the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Of course, if it were someone else, even Kage Level, they wouldn't dare to directly withstand Shisui Uchiha's Three-Tomoe Sharingan Genjutsu.

However, his target was Sokai. Sokai also cast Genjutsu at the same time he made eye contact with Shisui Uchiha.

Zao Jie, however, used the Dōjutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan. The difference in skill was Sokai apparent when the two met.

Shisui Uchiha was immediately hit.

Shisui Uchiha successfully escaped Yichen and his group's pursuit using Genjutsu, but his pupil power was severely depleted, leaving him nearly blind.

When he asked to get a new pair of Sharingan, he was ruthlessly rejected by Danzo Hokage. Even the usually gentle Third Hokage expressed his disappointment and stopped paying attention to him.

Subsequently, Shisui Uchiha witnessed the Hyuga Clan quickly replacing the Uchiha Clan in status.

Suddenly, news came from outside the village that Itachi Uchiha's infiltration of the Akatsuki Organization had been discovered, and that he had died at Nagato's hands.

Immediately afterwards, Sasuke Uchiha was Danzo by Danzo and died unexpectedly.

The Uchiha Clan was gradually forgotten by everyone, and he lived alone in a corner of Konoha, ignored by all.

Suddenly one day, an internal strife broke out in Konoha. It turned out that the major clans could no longer tolerate Danzo's oppression and chose to rebel together.

The Hokage lineage, which had lasted for six generations, was overthrown.

Before a new Hokage has even been chosen, a Sage Art – Great Five Elemental Bullet Technique– has already been unleashed in Konoha.

Then, Shisui Uchiha, who had previously been blind, seemed to regain his sight instantly.

He saw that the peace he and Itachi Uchiha had achieved by sacrificing their entire clan was gone.

He saw that neither the village's civilians nor the ninjas had escaped Yichen's attack.

He saw that the ambitions of Konoha High-ranking officials could never be satisfied.

These scenes brought tears of blood to Shisui Uchiha's eyes.

Touching the blood and tears on his cheek, Shisui Uchiha instantly woke up. This feeling... it felt so familiar.

It's Izumi Uchiha; she's absorbing my eye power.

The next moment, Shisui Uchiha forcibly broke free from the Dōjutsu of Izumi Uchiha and Sokai.

He closed his eyes, turned his Sokai away from the two men, and fled to one side, wiping away blood and tears with his hand.

When he opened his eyes again, he felt a blur before his eyes, and everything in front of him was filled with double images.

After his First Shinobi War with Orochimaru, Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan had already been greatly depleted, and now, after being absorbed by Izumi Uchiha, it was almost completely drained.

Shisui Uchiha quickly closed his eyes, gathering his ocular power while using his combat talent and superior Body Flicker Technique to dodge. At the same time, he was still thinking about how he had been hit.

After experiencing the scenes he least wanted to see within the Genjutsu, Shisui Uchiha was somewhat dazed and found it difficult to concentrate.

It took him a while to remember that he had just been about to cast Genjutsu on that Iwa Ninja Anbu, and the next moment, he himself fell into that terrible Genjutsu.

"What happened in that instant?" Shisui Uchiha forced himself to calm down and thought for a moment.

After a while, he realized, "Zakai, Uchiha Zakai is here too. That person just now was Uchiha Zakai. I was hit by his Mangekyou Sharingan jutsu."

What should have been a conclusion that could have been reached in an instant took Shisui Uchiha, who was in a daze, a long time to come.

After taking a deep breath, Shisui Uchiha opened his eyes again, but this time everything in front of him was pitch black.

"Am I blind?" Shisui Uchiha in alarm.

The next moment, he realized, "Wait a minute, my eye power hasn't been exhausted yet, how could I be blind?"

Shisui Uchiha looked around and quickly understood what was going on.

He was surrounded by Porcelain Mud.

This was Shisui Uchiha's last thought; the aftereffects of the Genjutsu were too great, causing his cognitive abilities to plummet.

As a result, they were unable to react in time when faced with danger.

While in the air, Yichen successfully sealed Shisui Uchiha with Porcelain Mud. Immediately afterward, he used Porcelain Release to remotely extract the pair of Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan from Shisui Uchiha's eye sockets.

Yichen finally breathed a sigh of relief after he obtained Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Yichen wasn't afraid of how much trouble Shisui Uchiha could cause; he was only afraid that Shisui would damage his eyes.
