Kotoamatsukami Had Never Been Used, but That Did Not Mean Its Boundaries Could Disappear Too

Those demanding the repeal of every rule offered one simple reason.

Kotoamatsukami had never been used.

There were no victims.

There had been no actual incident.

Keeping restrictions on its use would only mean Shisui was forever treated as a potential criminal.

Shisui first acknowledged the first two points.

He had indeed never used it.

Nor had anyone had their will rewritten by Kotoamatsukami.

"So what should be abolished is the surveillance that treats every day of my life as the eve of a disaster."

"Not the restrictions that prevent anyone from secretly ordering me to use it in the future."

The assembly brought up the original agreement established in Chapter 406.

When the agreement was drafted, some at the clan meeting had hoped to use Kotoamatsukami to ensure the reforms could not be undermined.

Fugaku, members of the Hokage's Direct Subordinates, and Shisui himself had all been listed as possible sources of a request.

The final rules refused to grant any single party the authority to activate it.

They restricted more than just Shisui.

They also restricted those who wanted to treat his eyes as the ultimate answer.

If the entire agreement were deleted, Shisui might not be the first to gain freedom.

It might be the superiors who could pressure him during secret missions.

The opponents argued that Shisui could simply refuse.

Shisui did not present personal judgment as a substitute for a system.

"The fact that I can refuse today doesn't mean my family, my comrades, or the village won't be used as bargaining chips every time in the future."

"Nor does it mean the next person with a similar ability should have to bear the same burden I do."

The rules were further divided into categories.

The first category covered routine supervision of the individual.
