The Woman in the Darkness

As for the Sharingan Genjutsu, the signature technique of the Uchiha Clan, the strongest has always been Uchiha Shisui. He is not only the strongest among his generation, but also the strongest in the entire clan. This title will likely remain until his retirement.

The other two are Uchiha Shingen, who specializes in ninjutsu, and Uchiha Obito, who specializes in Space-Time Ninjutsu.

Leaving aside the oddball Uchiha Shingen who directly obtained the Rinnegan, a normal Uchiha Clan, once they awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, will inevitably develop Dōjutsu of the type of Ninjutsu that the user is most proficient in.

Kotoamatsukami is the most terrifying Genjutsu- type Dōjutsu ever created by the Uchiha Clan.

Uchiha Shisui knelt down in front of Hyuga Hanabi, revealing a friendly smile.

Can I call you Hanabi?

No, but it would be very impolite of me to say that.

Hyuga Hanabi thought to herself, then nodded, revealing an obedient expression.

"Can I call you Brother Shisui?"

"Of course." Uchiha Shisui was delighted that the little girl in front of him was not resistant to him, which gave him a lot of confidence in his treatment plan.

Behind him, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shingen exchanged a glance.

I don't think his personality is suitable to be the clan leader. You should take over.

Chieftain, don't talk nonsense! Please don't abandon us!

After exchanging glances, the two acted as if nothing had happened, maintaining their smiles and watching Uchiha Shisui's treatment.

"Hanabi, I'm going to use Genjutsu to enter your mind. Don't be nervous, nothing will happen." Uchiha Shisui began by offering psychological counseling.

While the Sharingan is the most coveted bloodline limit in the Ninja World, it is also genuinely creepy and can easily frighten children.

"Mm." Hyuga Hanabi nodded. "Don't worry, brother, I'll cooperate fully."

She also wanted to know what had happened.

Why do people all look so fearful when they see her?

Uchiha Shisui awakened his Sharingan, initially as Mitsudomoe Sharingan, which quickly transformed into the unique patterns of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Staring into those eyes, Hyuga Hanabi told herself not to be afraid, but she couldn't help feeling nervous.

But it only lasted a moment.

Hyuga Hanabi's spiritual strength was tantamount to nothing in front of Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui only ever failed against Uchiha Shingen.

Within the family, this is a classic case. Sharingan Genjutsu requires not only Dōjutsu but also imagination. If you lack inspiration, you might as well turn yourself into a concrete wall and everyone stop using Genjutsu.

Hyuga Hanabi clearly lacked the ability to do this, so her mental world was completely open to Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui was very careful, as he was afraid of hurting Hyuga Hanabi's spirit. He really didn't intend to do anything unnecessary and would just observe for a while.

He carefully infused his spirit into Hyuga Hanabi's spiritual world, and he found that Hanabi's spiritual world was still very positive, with little negative energy.

He continued delving deeper, trying his best to avoid looking at Hyuga Hanabi's memories.

His purpose was simply to see if there were any foreign elements in Hanabi's spirit.

During this process, he sensed the girl's strength and love for her family from Hanabi's inner world.

This made him feel especially sorry for the child.

What a thoughtful child!

After looking around and finding nothing, he prepared to leave.

Just before leaving, he suddenly seemed to sense something and stopped moving.

As a ninja who had mastered Yin Release to an extremely high level, for a fleeting moment, he seemed to sense that in Hanabi's spiritual world, besides Hanabi herself, he was not the only one.

Following the "traces" he had just left, he went back to the same spot.

Suddenly, the surroundings changed; the colors representing Hanabi faded away, replaced by a completely different color.

More specific scenarios are also beginning to emerge.

Chapter Thirty-One: The Woman in the Dark

Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan Dōjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, is a bugged Genjutsu used to modify the mind of the person under its influence, and it is also a skill that can attack multiple targets simultaneously.

Even without using Kotoamatsukami, he can still achieve a certain degree of mind penetration when he uses the Mangekyo Sharingan.

He is the most dangerous Genjutsu ninja in the entire Ninja World.

Fortunately, he belongs to the Good and Lawful camp, which is a fortunate thing for both himself and his enemies.

Because of this ability, he is best suited to conduct a mental examination on Hyuga Hanabi.

Because he had deliberately avoided excessively infiltrating Hyuga Hanabi's mind, during Uchiha Shisui's previous examination, Hyuga Hanabi's mental world was unclear to him, consisting of countless chaotic fragments, as if he were only glancing at it.

But now, before Uchiha Shisui's eyes, this world has been influenced and reshaped by an even more powerful spirit.

An endless darkness unfolded before him, so dark that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.

This is definitely not the spiritual strength of Hyuga Hanabi.

The Uchiha Clan relies on spiritual energy for their livelihood, and Uchiha Shisui was the best among the contemporary Uchiha Clan at making a living from this.

There's a saying that perfectly reflects his current thoughts.

I can tell you're not human at first glance!

The world before him was no longer Hyuga Hanabi's, and Uchiha Shisui had no more worries. The overwhelming spiritual power contained in his Mangekyō Sharingan erupted at full force, ready to unleash Kotoamatsukami at any moment.

In the original timeline, the gentlest way the Kotoamatsukami would use his power was to make his people stop resenting the village.

In the darkness, a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan opened, a manifestation of Uchiha Shisui's spiritual power. He resisted the darkness's invasion and attempted to make it manifest.

This unusual power of sight successfully attracted the attention of the place's owner.

"Hamura Otsutsuki... no..."

In the darkness, spiritual power far surpassing the level of the Mangekyō Sharingan also materialized.

A larger eye appeared.

An even more intense crimson color, an odd number of Tomoe, and those all-too-familiar pupil rings appeared before Uchiha Shisui's eyes.

The moment this eye appeared, it overwhelmed Uchiha Shisui's ocular power. Darkness surged towards the Mangekyō Sharingan, turning the crimson into dark red, as darkness permeated it.

Before Uchiha Shisui could even attempt to activate Kotoamatsukami, the scene before him changed once more.

He realized that the other party had forcibly connected with his eye power!

The opponent is also using eye power!

As a special type of Chakra, the Sharingan's power cannot be connected in any other form, and the competition of power is the fairest thing to do: strong is strong, and weak is weak.

Uchiha Shisui activated Kotoamatsukami without hesitation.

The next moment, he was astonished to find... it wouldn't start!

It's like a samurai trying to draw his sword, but someone is holding the hilt of the sword against him.

The knife is still there, but I can't pull it out.

In that instant, the opponent's eye power had utterly shattered his defenses and crashed into his mind.

Damn it, the ball is dead!

Uchiha Shisui thought to himself.

At this moment, he wasn't thinking about his own death, but rather about his memories.

Uchiha Shisui became a core member of the Uchiha Clan from the start of the Third Shinobi World War, and he knew too many of the Uchiha Clan's top secrets.

Although Uchiha Shingen often teased him, and Uchiha Fugaku often said he wasn't very smart, he was still aware of the details of all the important matters concerning the Uchiha Clan, even if he wasn't involved.

Such is the perilous nature of a clash of spiritual power; the winner takes all. The Yamanaka clan, another powerful Yin Release clan in the Yamanaka Clan Leaf Village, lacks the Sharingan as an external advantage, and their secret techniques can be fatal simply by being overused.

"Huh?"

A startled cry rang out from the darkness.

This time, because their minds were linked, Uchiha Shisui clearly heard that it was a woman's voice.

The other person was a woman, and judging from her voice, she should be in her prime.

To paraphrase what Shingen used to say, this is an exquisite mature woman's voice; she'd be absolutely licking it if she wore black stockings!

Wait a minute! Why would he think of this before he died?

Brother Shingen misled me!!!

"Hmph!" The woman in the darkness let out a clearly displeased snort. "Equally rude... Fine! Leave my territory!"

Huh? They're actually letting him go?

Uchiha Shisui reacted quickly; he felt he had discovered the truth.

"Who are you? You know Shingen- gen, right?"

The other person did not answer him.

The immense power receded even faster, and just as it was about to vanish, it banished Uchiha Shisui's spirit from this world.

This forced expulsion caused more damage than all the previous damage combined.

In reality, no one noticed anything unusual. To them, it seemed like only a few breaths had passed since Uchiha Shisui activated the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Suddenly, Uchiha Shisui contorted in pain, and tears of blood streamed from his eyes!

"Shisui!" Uchiha Fugaku exclaimed in shock.

Although he often talks about Shisui, it doesn't mean he doesn't care. On the contrary, he cares a lot about Uchiha Shisui.

Seeing the unexpected happen, everyone rushed forward, and Uchiha Fugaku also activated his Sharingan to intervene.

But it's all over now.

Hyuga Hanabi and Uchiha Shisui both fell backward in opposite directions.

Uchiha Shisui Hyuga Hiashi his daughter, while Uchiha Fugaku.

"Shisui, how are you?" Uchiha Fugaku called out. He noticed that Uchiha Shisui's eyes had already exited the Sharingan state, but thankfully, he was no longer shedding blood tears.

This looks exactly like someone whose pupils have been excessively depleted.

"Clan leader, I'm alright..." Uchiha Shisui's voice was weak as he looked at the person opposite him, Hyuga Hanabi had already fainted.

He finally understood what had happened to Hyuga Hanabi. This wasn't sleepwalking; she'd been possessed by a powerful figure!

Uchiha Shisui's eyes throbbed with pain, and he keenly sensed that his vision had deteriorated, to the point that it had damaged his very foundation.

In other words, the other party let him off the hook; otherwise, the consequences would have been far greater.

That was too hasty; we almost messed up.

How could Shingen, who has been married for so many years, still know such a terrible woman?

Couldn't he meet some normal women?

"Hanabi? Hanabi?" Hyuga Hiashi called out to his daughter, startled.

Jonin is already terrifying, but now he's going to be evenly matched with Mangekyo Sharingan user?

"Hiashi, I'm sorry, Hanabi doesn't have an illness." Uchiha Shisui stood up with the help of Uchiha Fugaku. "Her mind was indeed possessed; you can think of it as a particularly powerful Genjutsu."

While most Genjutsu ninjas can't do it, it's actually not difficult for the Uchiha Clan.

Once the Sharingan is possessed, Genjutsu becomes standard for the Uchiha Clan, and its operability increases dramatically.

Before the Shadow Clone Technique was invented, the Uchiha Clan already knew this technique of separating and retrieving spiritual power, provided, of course, that they possessed a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, which was the minimum requirement.

Uchiha Shisui had already transplanted the concept to the point that he was very familiar with it, as it was one of his preferred fighting styles.

The Hyuga Clan is one of the oldest ninja clans in the Ninja World, and like the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan, it can be Sharingan back to the Ninshu era. They have a long-standing camaraderie and the Sharingan's abilities and why it is called the Genjutsu eye. Hyuga Hiashi is also very clear about these.

His expression changed.

Don't get me wrong, although he did have a dirty thought on the spot, he wasn't trying to mislead anyone present.

"Get out!" he shouted sternly.

The Hyuga Clan ninjas at the door wanted to say they hadn't come in at all, but the clan leader's tone was clearly on the verge of exploding, so they quickly closed the door again and moved far away from it.
