After spitting out a black crow, not only Uchiha Sasuke, but even Naruto himself wore a completely dumbfounded expression.
Who was he? Where was he? What was he doing?
Why had he spat out a crow?
"Caw, caw!"
The black crow flapped its wings, shrieking as it circled above Naruto's head.
"This..."
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly frowned slightly. He realized that this black crow looked remarkably like the crows Uchiha Itachi had raised. Then, the crow's pitch-black left eye suddenly began to spin, transforming into a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Within the crimson eye, the three tomoe spun rapidly, transforming into a four-bladed Mangekyou the next instant!
Uchiha Sasuke's expression changed drastically.
That shape...
It was Shisui's Mangekyou!
Could it be... Kotoamatsukami?!
Having once transplanted Shisui's cloned Mangekyou, Uchiha Sasuke knew full well how terrifying this ocular technique was!
The next instant, the strongest Genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, was imprinted into Uchiha Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

The meeting room at the Five Kage Summit pavilion.
Orochimaru, dressed in a kimono, stood in the center of the U-shaped table, speaking eloquently before the Five Kage and their respective guards.
"The so-called mediation of the conflict between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water is merely an excuse. The real reason you gathered here is because of our Akatsuki organization, isn't it?

Orochimaru smiled, utterly unconcerned by the tense, sword-drawn atmosphere.
"Your eye?"
The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, slowly floated up from his seat, staring fixedly at Orochimaru's right eye. "The Rinnegan!!"
A pleased smile appeared at the corner of Orochimaru's mouth. "As expected of the Third Tsuchikage. You noticed it at a glance."
