Obito Uchiha's Dark Heart

Uchiha Madara did not take Shisui's request for self-preservation to heart.

In Madara's view, anyone capable of awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan at the age of eight must possess a personality that pursues power to the extreme.

As long as one is obsessed with power, Madara was confident he could offer chips that Shisui could not refuse.

Thus, Madara quickly gave his reply: "I agree to your conditions, but as the spokesperson for Uchiha Madara, a single Mangekyō simply won't do."

After a moment of thought, Madara took out a white mask and handed it to Shisui.

"Take this for now. Welcome to the Eye of the Moon Plan."

Looking at the One-Eyed Mask that Uchiha Madara had just handed him, Shisui fell into silence.

At this moment, he began to miss Obito immensely.

[Detected that the host has become one of the masterminds behind the Eye of the Moon Plan. System reward: Obito's Dark Heart.]

Shisui: "???"

The reward Shisui wanted most was an improvement to his Indra Bloodline. Instead, after changing a plot point highly relevant to the main Uchiha storyline, he received something called "Obito's Dark Heart."

However, the very next moment, Shisui fell victim to the "true fragrance" law.

[Obito's Dark Heart: Capable of stimulating the user's potential to the maximum extent, including but not limited to physical fitness, chakra volume, Kekkei Genkai, etc. The side effect is that the user will henceforth fall into darkness and constantly desire to destroy this world (one-time use item).]

Compared to the effects of the Dark Heart, that minor side effect seemed insignificant.

At this moment, many plans had already flashed through Shisui's mind.

He could use "Obito's Dark Heart" to harvest a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan from an Uchiha, or perhaps obtain a highly developed Shikotsumyaku.

He could even save it for Nagato to use later, just to see if Naruto's Talk no Jutsu was truly invincible.

"This is what I promised you earlier: various secret techniques of the Uchiha clan." Since Shisui had joined the Eye of the Moon plan, Uchiha Madara began to honor his promises.

"As for the problem with your eyes, my plan is to use a White Zetsu to replace part of your body. The Hashirama Senju Cells within the White Zetsu can ensure you use the Mangekyō's ocular power without any restraint." As he spoke, Uchiha Madara summoned a White Zetsu.

"Old man Madara, you looking for me?" The newly appeared White Zetsu hadn't even figured out the situation before being controlled by Madara's genjutsu.

"This will do. Choose a part for yourself." Madara controlled the White Zetsu to walk in front of Shisui.

Seeing Shisui still hesitating, Madara continued to explain: "Don't worry about the compatibility between the White Zetsu and your body. The Hashirama Cells within have been adjusted by me and can adapt to most people's constitutions."

Shisui would absolutely not use the White Zetsu before him; who knew what kind of contingency Uchiha Madara had set within this creature.

Moreover, the very idea of using someone else's body made Shisui feel uncomfortable.

"I haven't decided yet, but I'll take this body for now." Having said that, Shisui didn't stand on ceremony with Madara; he took out a sealing scroll and tucked the White Zetsu into his pocket.

Madara's mouth twitched as he watched Shisui, yet he couldn't find any fault with the action.

"You should resolve your eye problem as soon as possible. We will need your ocular power later to control the Fourth Mizukage." Uchiha Madara still urged Shisui, unwilling to give up.

"I will." Shisui was more eager than anyone to take control of Kirigakure as soon as possible, so he could systematically conquer the Kekkei Genkai clans within the village.

"For this period, stay in the village. I have already instructed the Anbu. With this Mizukage Token, you can move through the village without obstruction."

At this time, Uchiha Madara did not have much time left. He needed to hand over the subsequent work as soon as possible to ensure that the Eye of the Moon plan could still be effectively executed after his death.

Even Shisui could see that Madara's body was reaching the point of exhaustion.

[Detected plunderable target: Uchiha Madara. Indra Bloodline development: 90%. Mangekyō Sharingan (imperfect adaptation). Asura Bloodline development: 50%.]

As expected, they aren't his own eyes. Has the Rinnegan already been transplanted to Nagato...

Looking at the system prompt, Shisui knew that Madara was still hiding many things from him.

However, after obtaining the flesh and blood of Hashirama Senju and awakening the Rinnegan, Madara's Asura bloodline development was not high.

Does this mean that Madara's Rinnegan is different from that of the Sage of Six Paths?

Just as Shisui was deep in thought, Kirigakure welcomed another uninvited guest.

On the other side, a man wearing a conical hat with bandages wrapped around his right arm had also arrived outside Kirigakure.

"Halt, who are you?" At the gates of Kirigakure, the same four guards were still on duty.

Ignoring the guards' interrogation, the stranger walked straight toward the village gate.

"If you get any closer, we will take measures." After one of the guards issued a warning, he and a companion moved forward to intercept the stranger, only to freeze in place two meters in front of him, unable to move.

"Hey, you two, what exactly is going on?" The remaining two guards providing cover noticed the abnormality of their companions. Just as they were about to sound the alarm, the stranger had already arrived before them.

"Who exactly are you..."

"Damn it, again?"

"You motherf..."

Before they could finish their sentences, they saw a scarlet eye revealed beneath the man's wide hat, with strange black patterns spinning endlessly within the pupil.

Following a flash of red light, the remaining two guards were also frozen in place, unable to make any further movements.

"This is the place the master spoke of..." Inside Kirigakure, the mysterious man lifted a corner of his hat, revealing none other than the face of Shimura Danzō.

Ever since he was struck by Shisui's genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, Danzō had come to view Shisui as the master who could dictate his fate.

Although using Kotoamatsukami to forcibly rewrite a large portion of Danzō's memories and will had caused his independent thinking ability to decline, it had also consumed a significant amount of power from Shisui's right eye.

However, if he did not do this, the resentment Shisui had accumulated in his previous life would never be quelled.

And so, a few days ago, Danzō received a message from Shisui, arranging to meet in Kirigakure.

"Master." Seeing that Shisui was already waiting for him at the agreed-upon location, Shimura Danzō bowed respectfully.

Shisui looked at the Danzō he now held in the palm of his hand with a complex expression; in his previous life, this man had stolen his eye and driven him to his death.

Having experienced such agonizing grief, even now, Shisui's emotions could not be completely calmed.

Therefore, making this lifetime's Danzō work for him and pay off his debts was perhaps the best way to handle things.

"Is the Sharingan in your right eye truly Kagami Uchiha's?" Shisui shifted his gaze to Danzō's right eye and asked.

Although he could not rule out the possibility that Danzō had intentionally provoked him during their last encounter by lying about possessing Kagami's eye, Shisui still felt it necessary to confirm the truth.
