Explosion!

"My Mangekyō Sharingan can use a Genjutsu called ' Kotoamatsukami '! It can manipulate others at will without them realizing it, and permanently and completely change their thoughts and will. However, each use requires a long cooldown period. According to my estimate, it can only be used once every ten years or so. As for whether this Genjutsu will become ineffective or whether it can be prevented by other means, I don't know."

In the Hokage Office, Shisui's words sent chills down the Konoha High-Level: Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzō, Koharu Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura.

"You're saying ' Kotoamatsukami ' can alter a person's thoughts and will?!" Danzo showed surprise, his mind racing, before he asked, "How can you guarantee that ' Kotoamatsukami ' will work on Chiho and Fugaku, who have also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"I can't guarantee that, but I'm willing to give everything for my family and village."

Shisui Shui said earnestly.

"Rather than doubting Shisui's abilities, I think the biggest problem is that the Uchiha Clan is about to spiral out of control," Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice. "It's time for us to make some substantial concessions!"

"Thank you very much, Lord Third Hokage," Shisui said gratefully.

"Even if the ' Kotoamatsukami ' technique is truly effective, merely changing Chiho and Fugaku's minds probably won't change the Uchiha Clan's intention to stage a coup," Danzo retorted.

"No!" Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "If Chiho and Fugaku really make changes and guide the Uchiha to abandon the coup and choose a peaceful way of coexisting with the village, then we should indeed make changes and slowly change the treatment of the Uchiha Clan."

"That is also my wish." Shisui said respectfully, his head bowed, though a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, because the Third Hokage's reaction was exactly as Issei had described.

The Third Hokage has said this many times before. This time, his attitude seems more sincere, but he still wants to change Chiho and Fugaku's minds first before making any changes.

Even so, the Third Hokage's attitude didn't seem very firm, and Shisui had already given up hope of finding out how sincere he really was.

"I'm afraid the Uchiha Clan wants much more than we imagine," Utatane Koharu, her brows furrowed.

Mitokado Homura sighed helplessly and said, "This is a concession that we have to make for the sake of peace."

The two advisors' words made Shisui's heart sink.

After spending these years together, and having gained insights from Issei, he has seen through the true nature of the Third Hokage.

With the two advisors unwilling and Danzo firmly opposed, the Third Hokage's promise to the Uchiha Clan will most likely remain unfulfilled due to the dissuasion of others, and may be delayed indefinitely until it is finally dropped.

"Shisui, I will send another Anbu to accompany you. Itachi will definitely understand your decision," Sarutobi Hiruzen reassured him. It seemed that they could only get through this crisis with Shisui. If Chiho and Fugaku could really make a big difference under Shisui's Dōjutsu, and give the Uchiha a chance, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Shisui: "Yes!"

"Lord Third Hokage."

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's direct subordinate Anbu arrived outside the Hokage Office.

"Come in," Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice.

Anbu Ninja entered the Hokage Office, approached Sarutobi Hiruzen, and whispered in his ear.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, looked at Shisui, and said, "Shisui, after Chiho left, she immediately convened a clan meeting. Now all the Uchiha clan members have gone to the Naka Shrine to attend the meeting. You should go first too. Be sure to Uchiha clan members, and report to me as soon as possible if there are any developments. I will send people to support you and Itachi at any time."

"Yes." Shisui bowed respectfully and then left the Hokage Office.

"Hiruzen, you're too naive! You can't satisfy the Uchiha Clan's appetite!" Danzo said with a gloomy face. He didn't care whether the Uchiha Clan could really change under Shisui's Dōjutsu. What he cared about was how to obtain the Sharingan and the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Danzo, your hostility towards the Uchiha Clan runs too deep. I believe in Shisui!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Chiho, Fugaku, Shisui have all awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. Do you know what that means? If they're secretly colluding, we won't even know how we died!"

Danzo said in a deep voice.

"Shisui only revealed that he possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan now, which is also a way of coercing us. We must be on guard." Utatane Koharu frowned and said, "Hiruzen, we really should be careful."

"This," Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed slightly.

"Regardless of whether Kotoamatsukami is as miraculous as Shisui described, the power to change thoughts and wills is still too dangerous in the hands of the Uchiha," Mitokado Homura echoed.

"If Shisui were to use ' Kotoamatsukami ' against us instead, what means would we have to defend ourselves!?"

Danzo continued.

Sarutobi Hiruzen his head slightly. "I believe Shisui wouldn't do that. Like Kagami, he has completely broken free from the concept of his clan. He would consider the safety of the entire Konoha."

"Hmph! Hiruzen, you'll regret this!" Danzo said angrily, then turned and left. Since Shisui had revealed that he possessed the ability of ' Kotoamatsukami ', Danzo naturally had to test it out.

If Shisui was lying, he did this to help the village resolve a potential problem.

If Shisui is telling the truth, then this power should also be in his hands, and the Uchiha problem should be solved by him personally.

The Mangekyō Sharingan was the ladder that led him to the position of Fifth Hokage.

After Danzo left the Hokage Office, he immediately dispatched members of Root to inform Shisui on the way and ask him to come see him.

When Shisui met the Root Ninja, he seemed somewhat puzzled, but still chose to leave with Root Ninja.

He arrived at the waterfall in a remote part of the west side of the village.

"Danzo, is there something you need? It's almost time for the clan assembly, and I must get there as soon as possible according to the Lord Third Hokage's orders," Shisui asked.

Danzo calmly, "Shisui, if you successfully used ' Kotoamatsukami ' to change Chiho and Fugaku's minds and prevent the Uchiha Clan's coup, but the village remains unchanged, what do you plan to do?"

"The Lord Third Hokage promised me that he would definitely change, and I believe him."

The Way of Shisui.

Danzo said in a deep voice, "Even with the help of the Third Hokage, the villagers and other Ninja Clan will not easily change their suspicions about the Uchiha Clan."

Upon hearing this, Shisui quickly replied, "The changes in the Uchiha Clan over the past year are evident to all, and their reputation in the village has also improved considerably. I believe that with a little more time, we can bring order to the Uchiha Clan and the village."

"It's no use!" Danzo interrupted Shisui, saying, "Someone as suspicious as me won't easily change my opinion of the Uchiha Clan. What do you plan to do then?"

"Danzo." Shisui's brows furrowed.

"By then, will you use the Kotoamatsukami technique on me? Your claim that it will take more than ten years to use it again is also false!"

Danzo coldly, and at close range, he suddenly launched an attack, thrusting his left hand straight at Shisui, trying to gouge out his eyes.

Shisui's expression changed in shock, his dark eyes instantly turning crimson, and his Three-Tomoe Sharingan appeared in an instant. He released powerful Eye Power, and in close combat with Danzo, he subdued Danzo, a ninja with Kage Level strength, without even needing to use the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The moment Danzo's body stiffened, Shisui reached out and grabbed Danzo's wrist, supporting his limp body.

"It's just a simple Genjutsu; he'll wake up soon." Shisui as calm as still water, before turning and leaving.

Although he knew that the higher-ups wouldn't change their minds easily, he didn't expect Danzo to dare to attack him directly. They were ninjas from the same village, yet things had escalated to this point. Shisui really couldn't understand it.

Although Danzo had a bad reputation, he was highly respected among many ninjas in Konoha. In every Ninja World War, Danzo's Root played a significant role behind enemy lines. Therefore, when faced with Danzo's attack, Shisui did not use strong countermeasures, but simply rendered him unable to resist.

Danzo's attitude also reflects the attitude of the Third Hokage.

"As expected, Chiho and Issei were right." Shisui's eyes revealed deep disappointment. The so-called use of Kotoamatsukami to change Chiho and Fugaku's minds was just a scheme, or rather a bet, between him and Chiho and Issei.

Shisui wanted to peacefully resolve the conflict between the Uchiha and the village, but at the same time, he didn't want to leave Konoha, as he had a deep love for the village.

Therefore, although Shisui supported Chiho and Issei's strategy, he hoped that the Uchiha would remain Konoha's Uchiha.

Therefore, Shisui Issei a bet with Chiho and Chiho that he would reveal his Mangekyō Sharingan, and explain the abilities of Kotoamatsukami, and that he was willing to help the higher-ups change Chiho and Fugaku's minds.

If the higher-ups are willing to make concessions after he has shown such sincerity, it means that Konoha still has a place for the Uchiha Clan.

Conversely, Shisui would be willing to support Chiho and Issei's independence policy.

It appears that Danzo against the Uchiha Clan are not solely for the sake of the village, but also for his own personal gain.

Thinking about the attitudes of the other two advisors, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, Shisui's mood became even heavier.

"Can the Third Hokage really keep what he promised me?"

Shisui didn't know what to do.

There is still hope for the Third Hokage, but whether leaving Konoha is a good option for the Uchiha Clan is another matter.

Most importantly, there are probably still a considerable number of Uchiha who would not want to leave Konoha as long as there is a glimmer of hope. These people are just like Shisui himself, unwilling to leave Konoha.

Given the Uchiha Clan's strength, if they didn't have a deep love for Konoha, why would they stay Konoha and endure such suppression and exclusion from the higher-ups?

At that moment, just as Shisui was in a state of utter confusion, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes. On the cliff top of the waterfall opposite, Issei seemed to be standing there, with a disappointed expression on his face, shaking his head and sighing.

"One!"

Just as Shisui was about to speak, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Danzo had appeared in front of him without him noticing and struck him in the lower abdomen with a heavy punch.

Shisui felt as if his internal organs had shifted, and he immediately vomited blood.

Danzo then delivered three more punches to Shisui's face, grabbed his hair, lifted him up, and plunged his left hand into his eye socket.

Pfft!

Danzo's left forearm fell to the ground with a thud, and blood splattered everywhere.

Issei stood in front of Danzo, sheathing his sword and simultaneously scooping Shisui up in a princess carry, retreating swiftly.

"Issei?" At this moment, Shisui breathed a slight sigh of relief and noticed that five meters in front of Danzo, the Danzo he had controlled with Genjutsu was gradually fading into a phantom.

At the same time, Danzo's Issei arm faded away, and the armless Danzo disappeared as well.

Danzo, now in perfect condition, reappeared, staring grimly at the suddenly appearing "Uchiha Issei".

"This is... Izanagi?!" Shisui's expression changed. As one of the strongest Uchiha Clan and the one who Mangekyō Sharingan, he had also learned the Forbidden Technique ' Izanagi ' recorded in the clan. Almost every Uchiha who awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan would learn this Forbidden Technique, because learning this Forbidden Technique was equivalent to having several extra lives.

However, using the ' Izanagi ' technique requires prior setup because it requires a large amount of Chakra to perform, and even those with the Mangekyō Sharingan cannot activate it instantly.

Just like Madara's younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, who also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, was severely injured by the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's Mangekyō Sharingan Flying Thunder God Slash because he hadn't set up Izanagi beforehand, and eventually died from his injuries.

In other words, Danzo did not decide to deal with him on a whim, but had prepared for it long ago.

"I never thought that my Sharingan, which I've kept hidden for so many years, would be wasted like this." Danzo off the bandage on his forehead, revealing his right eye, which was now completely blind and had turned grayish-white.

Whoosh whoosh!

A dozen or Root Ninja then appeared and surrounded Issei, who was holding Shisui.

At this moment, Issei frowned slightly and looked at Shisui, saying, "Shisui, I've said it before, Danzo is not to be trusted. I didn't expect you to be this careless. Do you know that misusing your kindness can cost you your life? Do you understand what the consequences will be if Danzo takes your eyes?"

"Issei." Shisui was filled with shame.

At this moment, more than a dozen Root Ninja with Jōnin- level strength launched an attack simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of Ninjutsu at the two of them.

Danzo his elite forces this time specifically to silence witnesses.

The addition of "Uchiha Issei" only adds another pair of Sharingan to his repertoire.

Boom--!

Issei's originally jet-black eyes had turned crimson, and the three Tomoe in his irises had disappeared, replaced by a pattern of multiple overlapping triangles, which looked a bit like an upside-down pyramid made of building blocks.

Faced with this overwhelming and powerful Ninjutsu, light blue Chakra quickly overflowed from Issei's body.

Under the catalysis of his powerful Eye Power, his Chakra gradually materialized.

"The Mangekyō Sharingan?!" Danzo in shock. How could even Uchiha Issei have awakened the Mangekyo? If that's the case, doesn't that mean the Uchiha Clan...?

In the blink of an eye, Issei's body turned silvery-white.

Issei's aura suddenly changed, and his silvery-white Chakra quickly formed a shape like ribs, which then grew into arms that continued to grow rapidly.

Susanoo!

The ultimate secret of the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan.

It was easily used by Issei.
