Konoha, the Naka River-a river that flowed through the village.
The Naka Shrine stood along the Naka River, close to the Uchiha Clan's grounds.
After returning from his mission and confirming the Uchiha Clan's situation, Shisui made up his mind.
"For the village, for the Uchiha Clan... I'm sorry, Clan Head Fugaku."
He intended to use his Mangekyō's ability on Uchiha Fugaku.
The Uchiha Clan was already on the verge of rebellion. For Konoha's stability and the Uchiha Clan's survival, he had to do this.

"Never. I will never give you Kotoamatsukami."
As he spoke, Shisui drew a kunai and prepared for
