Kotoamatsukami

[System: Detected that the Will of Fire in Itachi Uchiha's heart has been extinguished. Host has replaced the Will of Fire to become the sun in Itachi Uchiha's heart. System Reward: Divine Artifact - Yata Mirror]

"Yata Mirror? That originally belonged to Itachi."

The Yata Mirror, as one of the three divine artifacts alongside the Kusanagi Sword and the Yasakani Magatama, is said to be the spiritual manifestation of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu in mythology, capable of reflecting the human heart and foreseeing life, death, and fortune.

However, what Shisui knew was that it could block and reflect any form of attack.

In his previous life, when Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo entered its third form, his left hand was equipped with the Yata Mirror as a defensive weapon, which successfully blocked the attacks of the White Phosphorus Snake.

"Never mind, I'll find a chance to compensate Itachi later."

Shisui urgently needed to increase his combat power to deal with his nemesis, Shimura Danzō.

"Then let's equip it to the Susanoo first."

With a thought from Shisui, a massive Yata Mirror manifested on the left hand of his Susanoo.

With the Yata Mirror on the left hand, the Spiral Sword on the right, and offensive capabilities like Susanoo: Ninety-Nine Style within the chest armor, Shisui's Susanoo was effectively a fortress of war.

"Truly the evil Uchiha, to actually abandon the Will of Fire. Rest assured, both of you will remain here today."

Having unlocked his seals, Shimura Danzō was full of confidence.

"Shisui Uchiha, is it? Let me let your grandfather Kagami Uchiha's eyes watch as I kill you."

"What?!"

In the village, the cause of Kagami Uchiha's death had never been made public.

The answer the Uchiha clan received was merely that he had sacrificed himself during a classified mission; not even his remains were found, let alone his Mangekyō Sharingan.

But Danzō had mentioned Kagami's eyes, could it be...

"This eye is what I obtained from Kagami Uchiha."

Danzō pointed to the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his right eye socket.

"Now, I shall use it to defeat you."

A Three-Tomoe Sharingan against a Mangekyō Sharingan sounded like a joke, but Shisui knew that Danzō's trump cards went far beyond this.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Wave."

The confident Danzō struck first, sharp wind blades slicing toward the waist of the Susanoo.

"Yata Mirror."

The dark green Susanoo placed the Yata Mirror in front of itself to block Danzō's Vacuum Wave.

The moment the Vacuum Wave struck the Yata Mirror, the destruction Danzō had imagined did not occur.

Instead, the wind blades were subjected to a certain suction force and were absorbed by the Yata Mirror.

"Vacuum Wave." Under Shisui's control, Danzō's ninjutsu was reflected back in its entirety.

"Ah!" Caught off guard, Danzō was sliced in half at the waist by his own technique.

"Did he kill him?"

Itachi saw Danzō's upper and lower body separated and thought they had successfully dealt with the opponent. It was not until Danzō's corpse blurred and a completely unscathed Danzō appeared in the same spot that he realized otherwise.

"That strange object can actually absorb and reflect ninjutsu; is this also an ability of the Susanoo?"

"But why didn't he use it earlier? Why bring it out only now?"

According to the intelligence on Danzō, the Susanoo did not seem to possess such an ability.

"No matter, there are still four eyes left; that should be enough."

Danzō looked at the closed Sharingan on his palm with some regret; even with his power and methods, he had only managed to collect five Three-Tomoe Sharingan over all these years.

"Why didn't he die? Could it be a resurrection?" Today, Itachi Uchiha had witnessed too many events that overturned his understanding.

"That is one of our Uchiha forbidden techniques, Izanagi."

"A Sharingan wielder using Izanagi can turn unfavorable events that occurred within a certain period into something that never happened, choosing only favorable outcomes to become reality. The activation time varies based on each person's ability, but the Sharingan used will inevitably go blind afterward. However, while within the activation window, even if one dies, reality can be altered. It is a terrifying ocular technique that can make one invincible."

"So, he still has four additional chances."

Although his secret had been exposed by Shisui, there was not a trace of panic on Danzō's face.

Because he discovered that blood was beginning to trickle from Shisui's eye sockets, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Your eyes probably won't be able to hold out much longer, will they?"

Danzō was right; maintaining the Susanoo in its third form for such a long time was an immense drain on Shisui's Mangekyō.

Not to mention that Shisui had also withstood the siege of the Root members; the ocular power of his Mangekyō Sharingan was already severely overdrawn.

It was only because Shisui's Mangekyō had been awakened recently and had not yet been subjected to much wear that it could withstand such strain.

"Brother Shisui, your eyes..."

Itachi Uchiha looked at Shisui with concern and said, "It's all because my strength isn't enough..."

"It's fine, Itachi. I will handle it, don't worry." Shisui patted Itachi's head to comfort him.

Then, Shisui looked straight at Shimura Danzō and said, "Then let's try it. Let's see who falls first."

"Heh." Danzō bit his finger, performed a series of hand seals, and slammed his palms onto the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu: Baku."

"ROAR~"

The Baku summoned by Danzō was the same size as the third form of Shisui's Susanoo, and the moment it appeared, it began to provoke the giant construct.

"Baku, use Wind Style."

Under Danzō's command, the Baku opened its massive maw, and a terrifying suction force radiated outward, dragging surrounding trees, soil, and rocks into its throat.

Although the Baku's technique could not inhale the Susanoo, the horrific suction restricted Shisui's movements, pinning the Susanoo in place.

Meanwhile, Danzō himself circled behind Shisui, aiming for the spot where the Susanoo's defense was weakest.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Wave."

This time, there was no Yata Mirror to block Danzō's attack, and since he was targeting the Susanoo's most vulnerable point, he had a real chance of success.

Screech, screech, screech...

The wind blades tore into the Susanoo's defenses, emitting a piercing sound. This time, Danzō was not disappointed; after breaking through the barrier, the blades sliced clean through Shisui and Itachi Uchiha inside.

"I hit him!"

Shimura Danzō clenched his fist in excitement, believing he was about to obtain Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Having just witnessed the power of the Susanoo, Danzō was confident that he could use the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan to vie for the position of Hokage once more.

However, not a single drop of blood flowed from the corpses of Shisui and Itachi, and their bodies began to fade away.

"This isn't right—could it be a genjutsu?!"

No sooner had Danzō realized something was wrong than he noticed the scenery around him shifting rapidly.

When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in the exact same spot; there was no Baku, he had never used the Summoning Jutsu, and the Susanoo was nowhere to be seen. The only difference was that the Kunai in Shisui's hand was now pressed against his throat.

"Damn it, I actually fell for a genjutsu! When did he cast it?"

Danzō tried to react, but this time, Shisui did not give him the chance.

"Genjutsu: Kotoamatsukami."

As the Mangekyō's ocular power surged, the same Mangekyō pattern appeared in Shimura Danzō's eyes.

Simultaneously, Shisui's will poured into Danzō's brain through his eyes, and Shisui peered into every secret hidden within Danzō's memories.

The casting of Kotoamatsukami was instantaneous. A moment later, Danzō stared blankly at Shisui, stammering, "M-Master..."
