Shisui, for my sake, use Kotoamatsukami on him!

"Mirai, Danzo told me to find an opportunity to assassinate you!"

Inside the clan head's residence in the Uchiha Clan Compound, Uchiha Shisui stared gravely at Uchiha Mirai across from him.

Danzo's order had been extremely forceful.

There had been virtually no room to refuse.

"Is that so? Just as I expected."

Uchiha Mirai was not surprised in the slightest and calmly continued drinking his tea.

"Huh? Huh? Huh?"

"Mirai, did you hear what I said? That bastard Danzo told me to kill you! Kill you!!!"

Uchiha Shisui looked utterly shocked, having never expected Uchiha Mirai to be so calm.

"That's perfectly normal."

Uchiha Mirai set down his teacup and looked at Shisui before him.

"You're a genius of the Uchiha Clan. The name Shisui of the Body Flicker is well known even outside Konoha. Aside from me and Fugaku, you're the strongest one left in the clan. Isn't it only natural that Danzo would want us to turn on each other?"

Shisui considered it for a moment.

"That does seem to be the case."

Uchiha Mirai rolled his eyes at Shisui.

What did he mean, "seem"?

Shisui was great in every way.

Except he was bad with his brain.

In the original story, this guy had been the one to steer Itachi's thinking in the wrong direction, to some extent bringing about the Night of the Uchiha Clan's annihilation.

Fortunately, under his guidance, Itachi had already been molded into his shape.

"Big Brother Shisui, don't believe the words of those hypocrites. They'd love nothing more than for you and Big Brother Mirai to fight to the death!"

Itachi was somewhat nervous, afraid that Shisui would fail to see through it and actually turn against Mirai.

He had experienced Shisui's stubborn way of thinking long ago.

Even after repeated persuasion from both himself and Big Brother Mirai, Shisui still retained a sliver of hope for the village.

"Itachi, am I really that stupid?"

Shisui was speechless, nearly rolling his eyes.

Assassinating Mirai—how could he possibly do something like that?

It wasn't as if there was something wrong with his head.

"Mm, you really are."

Little Itachi nodded solemnly.

???

Dark lines spread across Shisui's forehead.

Uchiha Mirai snickered beside them.

This scene was probably what many transmigrators wished to see!

At the very least, this time, neither Itachi nor Shisui had gone astray.

They had become molded into his shape.

The Night of the Uchiha Clan's annihilation?

Heh...

Let's see whose clan got wiped out.

"Shisui, you didn't tell those higher-ups about the Mangekyo Sharingan, did you?"

Uchiha Mirai's expression turned a little more serious.

Shisui's face immediately became solemn.

"No. You reminded me again and again, Mirai. Naturally, I wouldn't reveal it so easily."

Long ago, Uchiha Mirai had already warned him never to reveal information about the Mangekyo Sharingan to Konoha's higher-ups.

At first, he had not fully understood why, but as he came to know Mirai better—and learned more about the Hokage's faction—

Shisui felt a wave of lingering fear.

His ocular technique was far too special. If he had truly informed the Hokage, it was difficult to predict what the consequences would have been.

"That's good."

Uchiha Mirai let out a sigh of relief.

As long as those higher-ups did not know about Shisui's ocular technique, things would be much simpler.

"Shisui, your ocular technique has the ability to alter wills. If used properly, it could produce unimaginable results."

Uchiha Mirai watched Shisui across from him.

Shisui's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Mirai wanted to use Kotoamatsukami on the Hokage???

His nerve was far too great!

If something like that were discovered, the Uchiha Clan would immediately be placed over the flames.

"Of course, you could also choose to use it on me."

Uchiha Mirai leaned back, resting his entire body against the chair.

The air suddenly froze.

A blood-red glow spread through his eyes. Three black tomoe spun at incredible speed, transforming into fan-blade patterns resembling three-leaf clovers.

Calamity, misfortune, vastness... a terrifying pressure instantly spilled from those Mangekyo Sharingan.

Uchiha Shisui instinctively activated his Mangekyo Sharingan to resist. Within his scarlet eyes were black patterns like shuriken.

Cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

Even though he had also activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.

His Mangekyo Sharingan was barely able to withstand Uchiha Mirai's pressure.

The scarlet within Uchiha Mirai's Mangekyo Sharingan far surpassed that of an ordinary Sharingan, radiating an intense aura of calamity.

Uchiha Itachi likewise sensed the tension in the air.

His fingers clenched tightly.

His gaze shifted between Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Mirai.

"Mirai... this isn't fair."

Uchiha Shisui spoke bitterly.

Uchiha Mirai knew his ocular technique inside and out, yet he still knew nothing about Uchiha Mirai's Mangekyo Sharingan technique.

Setting aside whether he would even use Kotoamatsukami on Uchiha Mirai, it was hard to guarantee that Kotoamatsukami would work on Mirai at all.

Uchiha Mirai looked so confident.

He surely had a way to guard against his ocular technique.

This move was probably meant to warn him as well.

After all, after learning what Kotoamatsukami could do, probably no one could remain completely at ease.

Itachi's eyes flickered slightly beside them.

He suddenly recalled that strange world Uchiha Mirai had transported him and the clansmen to that day.

That world did not seem to belong anywhere in the ninja world.

Could that have been Brother Mirai's ocular technique???

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Uchiha Mirai's mouth.

If Shisui secretly used Kotoamatsukami on him, he might have no way of noticing it immediately.

But long ago, he had already established operational rules within the High Plain of Heaven.

Whenever he entered the High Plain of Heaven.

The rules of that world would instantly examine him and compare him against the intact state he had imprinted.

Once any abnormality was detected, the power of the rules would immediately correct it!

This meant...

Even if Uchiha Shisui secretly used Kotoamatsukami on him.

The moment he entered the High Plain of Heaven, the world's rules would immediately detect the abnormality and use their power to erase the influence directly!

The reason was not complicated. It merely used simple program logic to reset everything to zero.

But the effect was exceptionally potent.

Uchiha Mirai did not know which was stronger: Kotoamatsukami's ability to alter consciousness, or the corrective power of the High Plain of Heaven's rules.

But at the very least, this was the operating rule of an entire world.

Kotoamatsukami was merely an ocular technique; it should not have reached the threshold of rules.

At worst, he could use the power of the rules to correct his consciousness again and overwrite the influence.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Uchiha Mirai asked calmly.

Shisui shook his head and withdrew his Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Mirai, you know me. I could never raise a hand against you."

The crimson in Uchiha Mirai's eyes faded, and he deactivated his Mangekyo Sharingan as well.

The heavy pressure in the air suddenly vanished, finally allowing Uchiha Itachi beside them to breathe a sigh of relief.

"But wouldn't using Kotoamatsukami on the Hokage be too risky?"

Shisui felt uneasy.

This was undoubtedly like dancing on a tightrope.

After one's will had been altered by Kotoamatsukami, those around them might not necessarily fail to notice.

If the investigation led back to the Uchiha Clan, things would become extremely troublesome.

"When did I ever tell you to use Kotoamatsukami on the Hokage?"

Uchiha Mirai rolled his eyes at him.

"Huh?"

Shisui froze blankly.

"If not on the Hokage, then who do you want to use it on, Mirai?"

A cold smirk appeared in Uchiha Mirai's eyes.

"Danzo. Danzo is your target."

Kotoamatsukami was a double-edged sword.

Used properly, it could produce tremendous results.

But if mishandled, the situation would only spiral downhill.

In the original story, that pig Danzo had directly altered Mifune's will right in front of the other four Kage.

As a result, Mifune's attitude changed so drastically that even an idiot could tell something was wrong!

That directly exposed the Mangekyo Sharingan in Danzo's right eye, making him the target of everyone's hostility.

With Danzo the pig serving as such a negative example, how could Uchiha Mirai possibly use Kotoamatsukami recklessly?

Sarutobi Hiruzen absolutely could not be altered.

At least, not yet.

In preparation for dealing with the Uchiha Clan, Konoha's F4 were likely together most of the time.

Any unusual change in Sarutobi Hiruzen would be difficult to miss.

With a little thought, Utatane Koharu and the others would have no trouble connecting it to the Uchiha Clan.

That was why Danzo was his target!

Shisui frowned slightly.

"Mirai, how am I supposed to alter Danzo's will?"

Uchiha Mirai's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Destroy the Uchiha Clan..."

Destroy the Uchiha Clan???

Uchiha Shisui held his breath. Itachi beside him did the same, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop sharply, sending a chill through both of them.

Plant the idea of destroying the Uchiha Clan in Danzo's mind?

What exactly was Mirai thinking?

"Mirai, are you sure you haven't made a mistake? Danzo already hates the Uchiha Clan to the bone."

"If I plant the will to 'destroy the Uchiha Clan' in him as well, there's no telling what terrifying things he might do!"

Uchiha Shisui's voice trembled slightly.

He felt that Mirai was playing with fire.

"That's exactly what I want."

The coldness in Uchiha Mirai's eyes deepened.

"Otherwise, how could I kill him for good?"
