Uchiha Minamoto was one thing.
The brat might have been making quite a name for himself lately.
But in Shimura Danzō's eyes, he was, at most, a promising newcomer with a little talent.
Konoha had never lacked geniuses. What it lacked were geniuses who survived.
Shisui Uchiha, however, was different.
The name "Body Flicker Shisui" had been built on the lives of countless enemies on the battlefield.
Just like the "Yellow Flash" of old.
Intelligence concerning Shisui Uchiha kept flashing through Shimura Danzō's mind.
The most crucial piece was this-
After returning from the battlefield in the Land of Lightning, Shisui Uchiha had voluntarily reported something to the village:
He had awakened the Uchiha Clan's legendary power-the Mangekyō Sharingan.
According to Shisui Uchiha himself, he had also acquired an extremely unusual ocular technique:
[Kotoamatsukami]!
This ocular technique could invade an opponent's mind and alter their will without them noticing a thing.
Someone whose will had been altered would not even realize they were being controlled.
"How could this possibly be allowed?"
Deep wariness flashed in Shimura Danzō's lone eye, along with undisguised greed.
"What does an Uchiha need such dangerous eyes for?"
The Uchiha Clan was inherently evil. If they were allowed to wield a power that could freely manipulate others' wills, wouldn't the village become their plaything?
Shimura Danzō had already been secretly preparing a plan to deal with Shisui Uchiha.
But Uchiha Minamoto's meteoric rise had forced Shimura Danzō to change the order of his plans.
His original plan had been simple:
Leak the mission commission to Orochimaru, who was entrenched in the Land of Fields, and have that S-rank missing-nin dispose of Uchiha Minamoto there.
But now Shisui Uchiha was going along as well.
Could Orochimaru... deal with Shisui Uchiha and Uchiha Minamoto at the same time?
