Shisui

Biodata

Background / History

Shisui originally serves as one of the Uchiha Clan's strongest fighters and a loyal shinobi of Konoha who attempts to prevent a clan coup d'état using his genjutsu 1 3. However, Danzo ambushes him and gouges out his right eye 1 3. Believing his death is necessary to ease tensions, Shisui attempts suicide by jumping into the Naka River, but is rescued by a team led by Uchiha Natsuki and treated by Uchiha Izumi 1 2. Natsuki exposes Danzo's theft to the Third Hokage, and Fugaku successfully retrieves Shisui's right eye, allowing him to reattach it 3 5.

After Natsuki uses the Mangekyō Sharingan to reveal grim futures of clan destruction to Shisui and Itachi, Shisui's worldview and loyalty shift entirely to the Uchiha Clan 6. He subsequently participates in the clan's departure from Konoha, relocating to Sound Village and later the Radiant Country to help establish an independent Uchiha nation 17 34 589. Alongside Itachi, Shisui trains under Orochimaru, uses Kotoamatsukami to alter Orochimaru's will during a confrontation, and masters senjutsu to enhance his genjutsu without suffering permanent ocular wear due to Yang Release Chakra provided by Keimei 35 36 768 1090. He eventually achieves Eternal Level Mangekyō Sharingan status following the integration of Kagami Uchiha's Mangekyō cells and Natsuki's ocular power 1155.
