Blazing Clouds Shatter the Crows

In this spiritual realm, surrounded by flocks of crows, Uchiha Shisui realized something was wrong the moment he saw the red sun behind Yun Yan opposite him.

Let's start by talking about the flock of crows around Uchiha Shisui.

When crows are mentioned, it's hard not to think of Itachi Uchiha, since Itachi Uchiha's Genjutsu was used in conjunction with his crows.

Even in the original story, after Uchiha Shisui died, Itachi Uchiha implanted his Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan into the eye of his summoning beast, the crow.

However, this doesn't mean that Uchiha Shisui couldn't use crows. On the contrary, Uchiha Shisui was quite skilled at using Genjutsu with crows, or perhaps Itachi Uchiha learned his crow-using techniques from Uchiha Shisui.

Therefore, even though the two sides are currently clashing with each other Genjutsu, and even though Uchiha Shisui is currently in the mental world of consciousness, his Kotoamatsukami Genjutsu still manifests as a flock of crows.

But how can a flock of crows withstand the blazing sun?

Even if a person's mental illusion Genjutsu wants to materialize a physical object in the mental world of consciousness, it depends on what they can materialize.

Generally, the more powerful the manifested object, the stronger the person's mental strength and Genjutsu.

Uchiha Shisui always thought that his Genjutsu was already very powerful and impressive, capable of manifesting a huge, overwhelming flock of crows. He believed that no one could surpass him.

But... Uchiha Yunyan... he can actually conjure a blazing red sun...

How is this possible? How could his mental strength be so strong? How could his Genjutsu be so powerful?

Standing amidst a large flock of noisy crows, Uchiha Shisui pursed his lips, then gritted his teeth in disbelief, and began to mentally hypnotize and comfort himself:

It's alright, it doesn't matter. Even if a red sun materializes, so what? Maybe this red sun is just for show, maybe it's all empty talk and grandiose illusions.

With this thought in mind, Uchiha Shisui resolutely unleashed his ultimate Kotoamatsukami, Yun Yan ahead.

Large flocks of crows cawed noisily, flapping their wings and creating a gust of wind, scattering ominous black feathers as they swarmed towards Yun Yan on the opposite side.

Yun Yan watched this scene calmly, his mind clearly calculating.

This is Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami.

To be fair, this tactic is indeed powerful; it can directly change a person's mindset at its root, which is chilling to think about.

Note that this directly changes a person's mindset at its root; it changes their mindset, not controls or hypnotizes them.

If the intention is to control and hypnotize someone, then this kind of Genjutsu is ultimately a form of deception and concealment. As long as there is a sufficiently strong external force, this kind of Genjutsu can still be broken.

But it forcibly changes the other person's thoughts, and once that change is made, it can't be reversed. It's a one-off deal, a terrifying Genjutsu that can't be reversed.

Therefore, in terms of its viciousness and formidable nature, Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami is indeed exceptionally powerful.

It's no wonder that in the original story, Danzo was so wary and covetous of Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Let alone Danzo being wary, if Yun Yan didn't have his current strength and Mangekyō Sharingan, he would also be wary, and he would do anything to destroy Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan.

But it doesn't matter now. Yun Yan's strength is clearly greater than Uchiha Shisui's. Yun Yan has absolute confidence in killing Uchiha Shisui and defeating his Kotoamatsukami.

So, seeing the huge, noisy swarm of crows pressing in from the opposite side, Yun Yan calmly activated his ultimate Genjutsu, Truth and Falsehood Are Meaningless.

Specifically, the red sun behind Yun Yan suddenly shone brightly.

Influenced by the rising sun, vast expanses of brilliant, fiery clouds appeared behind Yun Yan.

These vast expanses of clouds, each one burning like a blazing flame, each one vast and powerful, roared and swooped down upon the flock of crows before them.

Faced with the blazing, fiery expanse of clouds, how could Uchiha Shisui's flock of crows possibly stand a chance?

The two sides collided and clashed directly on the road, Uchiha Shisui's large flock of crows was burned to the ground, almost completely destroyed.

Uchiha Shisui could only watch helplessly as the vast flock of crows he had manifested Kotoamatsukami was burned, squawking and flying in all directions. The entire flock of crows was destroyed, and those that were burned were reduced to ashes without even a single feather remaining.

Therefore, Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami failed to work. He suffered a terrible backlash from the Genjutsu, letting out a muffled groan in his mental consciousness space and taking two steps back with a terrible expression.

This is how Uchiha Shisui in the spiritual realm of consciousness; however, in the external reality, his behavior is quite different.

Standing in the courtyard, Kakashi, standing beside the two of them, suddenly noticed that the situation of the two people had changed.

Yun Yan remained unharmed, still watching Uchiha Shisui. However, Uchiha Shisui swayed, and blood began to spill from the Mangekyō Sharingan, dripping down his face like tears.

Seeing this somewhat shocking scene, Kakashi was a little surprised and uncertain, but after a moment's thought, his mood improved.

Kakashi himself also possesses the Sharingan, although it wasn't his own but Sharingan. However, Kakashi has used the Sharingan for so many years and has gained some experience and insights into its use.

If the Sharingan is overused, or if the Sharingan's Genjutsu suffers a backlash, the Sharingan will indeed bleed, and this backlash will indeed affect the body.

Seeing blood and tears streaming down one's face is indeed horrifying and terrifying at first glance, and when this happens, it indicates that the person has suffered extreme psychological trauma.

Seeing this scene, and with tears of blood still streaming down Uchiha Shisui's face, Kakashi already had a guess in his mind: Uchiha Shisui had probably suffered a loss in this Genjutsu battle.

Heh, it's not just a matter of suffering a loss. Uchiha Shisui has already suffered a huge backlash. In their first Genjutsu confrontation in the mental world's consciousness space, Uchiha Shisui was defeated.

But Uchiha Shisui; he was almost going crazy.

He, a rising star of the Uchiha Clan, was a genius who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan at a young age, and his Mangekyō Sharingan Genjutsu was the unparalleled strongest Genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami.

With so many buffs and so many achievements to his name, how could Uchiha Shisui fail? He absolutely could not fail! Failure was absolutely unacceptable!

Driven by this extremism and madness, Uchiha Shisui, in his mental consciousness space, abruptly stopped retreating after taking two steps back and suffering a backlash, disregarding the mental trauma he had sustained.

Uchiha Shisui abruptly raised his head, looking unwillingly at the calm and unharmed Yun Yan opposite him, preparing to make another desperate attack.

Squeezing out Chakra within his body and the remaining power of his Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Shisui unleashed Kotoamatsukami more amidst a furious and unwilling roar.

A vast, dark flock of crows appeared once again, and this time there were even more crows than before.

So many crows gathered together, flying around and cawing noisily at each other. The chaos was so great that black crow feathers were fluttering up all around.

Under Uchiha Shisui's furious roar and control, a large flock of black crows, like a dark cloud, swarmed towards Yun Yan their frantic cawing, as if they wanted to engulf and drown him.

As the flock of crows swept past, Uchiha Shisui, still unwilling to give up, cried out:

"Uchiha Yunyan! Be controlled by me! Protect Konoha forever! Support the Lord Hokage forever! And obey my orders forever!"

Seeing the dark mass of crows flying in, and hearing Uchiha Shisui's unwilling voice, Yun Yan sneered, his mocking expression deepening.

He was running out of patience. Yun Yan planned to use this opportunity to decisively defeat Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami!

Anyway, Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami has a cooldown period. Once you defeat him with Kotoamatsukami this time, Uchiha Shisui won't be able to use it again and will be at his mercy.
