Shisui's New Mission

Upon hearing Naraku's question, Shisui slowly replied with a solemn expression:

"I possess Dōjutsu called Kotoamatsukami. Kotoamatsukami allows me to invade the mind of another without their knowledge, modifying their thoughts and will."

The ability to manipulate an opponent unconsciously is a form of Dōjutsu that allows for victory without conflict.

I can feel the drain on my eye power from Kotoamatsukami. After using it, it may take more than ten years to recover and use it again.

Naraku was somewhat surprised by Shisui's words. He sounded very strong, but it seemed that Shisui had already used them when Naraku possessed him earlier.

Naraku, unable to contain his doubts, asked directly:

"If I remember correctly, you should have used Kotoamatsukami on Danzo, so why is Danzo still like this?"

"Yes! The idea I instilled in Danzo was to cherish comrades and protect Konoha! I also cannot understand Danzo's actions."

The power of the Dōjutsu Kotoamatsukami has greatly enhanced the hypnotic ability of my Sharingan. In the past, I didn't need to activate Kotoamatsukami; I could silently cast Genjutsu to hypnotize enemies using only the Sharingan, and I never failed.

"I never imagined that my first attempt to use Kotoamatsukami to modify Danzo's will would result in this..."

Shisui also couldn't understand Danzo's actions. His Mangekyō Sharingan, Kotoamatsukami, had never required him to activate his Dōjutsu when facing enemies.

The Kotoamatsukami, which houses the powerful force of Sharingan, can exert a Kotoamatsukami simply by activating its hypnotic eye ability, causing the enemy to be affected without their knowledge.

Shisui earned his reputation as the "Body Flicker Shisui." Genjutsu, Body Flicker Technique, and swordsmanship were his specialties, especially Genjutsu. Enemies often didn't even know when they were caught in Genjutsu, and were defeated without warning.

With his Kotoamatsukami Dōjutsu, he possessed unparalleled confidence.

"Based on my past experience, it's easy for my eyes to change a person. However, the greater the contrast in the change, the smaller the effect and the shorter the duration."

For example, if A originally admires B, but I insist on making A dislike B, Kotoamatsukami intervention, it will definitely have an effect. However, A will be confused and uncertain about their actions, and may change their mind again later.

The reason A admires B must be because of some quality in B. Later, A will be puzzled by the same quality in other people, such as C or D.

Why would someone appreciate C or D doing things this way, but dislike B doing things this way? This can cause the person being manipulated to doubt their own inner self, or even realize that they are being controlled.

"While Dōjutsu that manipulate people's minds are extremely powerful, the human mind is incredibly complex; how could it possibly be truly controlled?"

Shisui had great confidence in Kotoamatsukami, but he wasn't blindly confident. He continued:

"However, if I ask someone to commit suicide immediately, the person will not realize it in a short time, but will commit suicide immediately for some inexplicable reason."

As for long-term changes in thinking, further assistance and supplementation are needed, requiring continuous use of the Sharingan for hypnosis and correction.

This is also the difference between my two Dōjutsu. My left eye, Kotoamatsukami, can instantly modify the will, allowing the recipient to immediately understand.

The right eye 'Kotoamatsukami is for hypnosis and correction. It takes a few seconds to cast and consumes less pupil power, but it still requires several years to recover.

Danzo, he was a man who upheld the Will of Root. I truly never imagined that he would so distort the Will of Fire and the Will of Root so completely..."

In the end, Shisui expressed deep confusion and a touch of sadness regarding Kotoamatsukami's actions after being Danzo.

Naraku understood Shisui's explanation and breathed a sigh of relief. He said softly:

"I think I understand now. Shisui, perhaps this is Danzo's way of protecting Konoha. His protection of Konoha requires countless sacrifices. It is far too dangerous for someone like him to protect Konoha."

As for treasuring his comrades, well, perhaps the Uchiha's sacrifice was his way of treasuring them. He would cherish our Uchiha Sharingan, take good care of it, and never waste it."

Naraku, his expression turning somewhat serious, continued:

"Shisui! The Uchiha clan members' past mission failures and seemingly reasonable deaths must have all Danzo by Danzo."

According to my intelligence, Danzo mastered Wood Release ninjutsu and forbidden Sharingan techniques through cruel human experiments.

Danzo's desire for the Sharingan is insatiable; such a person must be arrested and brought to justice!

Upon hearing Naraku's words, Shisui nodded with an equally serious expression and said:

"I understand! When Danzo ambushed me, he kept asking for my Sharingan, and that must be the reason!"

I trusted him so much before! I even thought I could change him!

How ridiculous I am, Lord Hokage! Rest assured! Although I didn't use my left eye well this time, I will never let this happen again. I will make Danzo suicide as an atonement!

No matter how many subordinates he brought, it wouldn't change the outcome!

Shisui's face was very serious, with a hint of sadness in the corners of his eyes—a sadness of a collapsed faith that could not be salvaged.

Shisui had done his best to win Danzo, hoping that this old man, who claimed to be secretly dedicating himself, would truly do what he advocated and truly implement his Will of Root.

It was truly unexpected that Danzo's methods of protecting Konoha were so twisted, and his way of valuing his comrades was even more terrifying. If Konoha had been protected by Danzo for several years, the situation would have been unimaginable.

Shisui's face shifted between flashes of murderous intent and deep sorrow, his expression difficult to describe. Naraku, unsure how to comfort him, whispered:

"I'm relieved that you have this determination. Shisui, Danzo's attack on his Konoha comrades is an unforgivable crime."

However, since it has already happened, I must handle this matter properly.

Shisui, you should lie low for now and secretly search for traces and locations of Danzo's Danzo.

I will classify Danzo as an S-rank missing-nin and order his Danzo the grounds that he killed Uchiha Shisui, a member of the Hokage's direct Anbu, a crime of murdering a comrade!

Naraku spoke softly about Danzo's fate. He then searched for Root's strongholds, destroying each one he found.

Shisui was not surprised by Danzo's fate; murdering a comrade was the greatest evil in Konoha, a place that upheld the Will of Fire.

"Am I lurking in the shadows...?"

"Yes! From now on, lie in wait in the shadows and only contact me through a single line. You cannot contact anyone else."

"I had hoped you could find Danzo's secret hideout for Konoha, but now it seems we'll have to find another way."

Naraku said with a serious expression.

Shisui's mission to infiltrate Danzo failed, and he was instead hunted down by Danzo. Now, Naraku has no choice but to think of another way.
