Quiet!!
A dead silence!!
Looking at the tragic death of Uchiha Shisui,
the elite ninjas of the Uchiha clan in the conference room couldn't help but shiver, feeling a deep chill in their hearts.
No doubt —
In their eyes,
this brutal act by Konoha's upper echelon was a clear message:
Even someone as close to Konoha as Uchiha Shisui could be tortured and killed without hesitation.
It was a warning, a show of force meant to terrify the Uchiha clan into submission.
Gulp...
No one knew how long the silence lasted before one of the Uchiha elites carefully swallowed and glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, suggesting hesitantly,
"Patriarch... for now, let's not rebel."
"Yes, the higher-ups of Konoha are obviously prepared. We Uchiha can't fall into their trap."
"We should endure a little longer, prepare ourselves in secret, and wait for the right opportunity..."
"Shisui's death was too cruel. The Konoha leadership... they're utterly ruthless, worse than beasts!"
At first, it was just one voice, but like a spark to dry grass, fear spread throughout the room.
Even the radicals, including the Great Elder, began to hesitate.
It wasn't that they lacked courage—
it was that Konoha's leadership played far beyond normal rules.
Damn it.
Killing Shisui just like that, without any warning...
"Damn Konoha's upper management..."
Hearing these murmurs,
Uchiha Fugaku's face turned pale.
Clenching his fists tightly, he could only swallow his anger for now.
The planned rebellion would have to be postponed.
One of the Uchiha clan's key combat powers was gone.
If they were to rebel, they had to be fully prepared.
"Shisui... was this your choice?"
Meanwhile, Uchiha Itachi, who had just awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, seemed to come to a realization.
His heart filled with respect for Shisui's actions.
He understood now:
This was Shisui's "Will of Fire"—
Choosing death to ease the conflict between clan and village,
delaying the Uchiha's rebellion, at least for now.
(CECI)!
At this moment, Uchiha Itachi, already brainwashed by the Will of Fire, completely lost his ability to judge the situation rationally.
He believed Uchiha Shisui had willingly sacrificed himself for peace.
As for Shisui's missing eyes—
Itachi naively assumed it was to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.
The only thing that puzzled him was why the Third Hokage had been so ruthless that not even Shisui's body was left intact.
"Alright, adjourn the meeting!!"
After a long silence, Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand tiredly, obviously shaken by Shisui's death.
"Yes..."
The Uchiha elites all left with complicated expressions.
Of course,
out of respect for Uchiha Shisui,
no one dared to touch his remains.
"By the way, Itachi..."
Just as Itachi was about to leave,
Uchiha Fugaku called him back, a rare softness flashing across his face.
"Tomorrow morning, accompany your little brother to school."
"And in the evening, pick him up. We'll have a family dinner together."
"Yes!"
At these words,
a rare smile appeared on Itachi's usually emotionless face.
Seeing Shisui's choice had helped him make up his mind.
Now, hearing Fugaku's words, Itachi's determination only strengthened.
Unfortunately...
Neither Fugaku nor the others realized—
In the original timeline, Danzo obtained Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan and delayed the Uchiha Massacre by two years.
But now—
with Shisui tortured to death by Uchiha Yuta, and his eyes plundered,
Danzo was furious and completely lost patience with the Uchiha.
In other words,
the countdown to the Uchiha clan's destruction had already begun.
Meanwhile,
inside his room at the Uchiha compound,
Uchiha Yuta sat silently, gazing thoughtfully at the two nearly drained Mangekyō Sharingan in his hands.
"Time to begin the show."
The corners of Yuta's mouth lifted into a slight smirk.
"Shisui... your death wasn't in vain. Your eyes will serve me well."
"System, use the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan Advancement Card!"
"Ding... Advancement successful."
Buzz!
Before Yuta could even react,
the two Mangekyō Sharingan in his hands floated up, merging rapidly with his own eyes.
"This sensation... so comfortable..."
Warmth spread through his body.
One minute... ten minutes... half an hour...
Finally, after a full hour—
Uchiha Yuta opened his new eyes.
If anyone were there to witness it, they would see:
Yuta's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was a stunning fusion—
a simple triple tomoe shape overlaid with four blade-like darts.
"Interesting..."
After feeling the new power within him, a flash of surprise appeared on Yuta's face.
His Eternal Mangekyō had absorbed two of Shisui's top-tier illusion abilities:
Kotoamatsukami — the ability to subtly invade and manipulate a person's will without them realizing it.
Light of Kotoamatsukami — the ability to unleash a golden light from his right eye, pulling enemies into an illusion where their spirit would be instantly annihilated, similar to Tsukuyomi.
