Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi

Uchiha Clan Compound.

Two Ninja, one tall and one shorter, returned from outside the Village and entered the Uchiha Clan compound.

The taller Ninja wore a forehead protector and a green Jonin vest.

He had short hair and a noticeably round nose.

A katana was strapped to his back.

The slightly shorter Ninja also had his forehead protector tied around his head.

He wore a black inner garment and a gray vest over it.

He had slightly long, medium-length hair, handsome features, and a subtle resemblance to Uchiha Fugaku.

These two were none other than Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, returning from a mission.

"Shisui."

"Itachi."

...

Along the way, the Uchiha greeted these two geniuses of their clan warmly, proud that the Uchiha Clan had produced such talents.

They had no idea that these were, in fact, two White-eyed Wolves.

One was brainwashed by the Third Hokage, becoming his loyal subordinate, attempting to control the Uchiha with Kotoamatsukami.

The other would, in the future, ruthlessly kill his fellow clan members, even his parents, bringing about the destruction of the Uchiha Clan and becoming the main culprit behind its downfall.

"Clan Head!"

"Father!"

The two arrived at the Clan Head's residence in the center of the Uchiha Clan compound and met Uchiha Fugaku, respectfully greeting him.

"Hmm, you two have returned from your mission?"

Looking at them, Uchiha Fugaku felt an uncontrollable surge of killing intent.

It was these two White-eyed Wolves who led to the Uchiha Clan's ultimate demise and brought him the crisis of death.

If he could, he would resolve them now to prevent future troubles.

However, reason told him not to do so.

To obtain the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he had to wait for Uchiha Itachi to awaken his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Moreover, Uchiha Shisui had undoubtedly already awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan.

As another Mangekyo Sharingan user, he was not confident he could defeat him.

Furthermore, the Eye Technique Kotoamatsukami that Shisui possessed made him extremely wary.

Because this Eye Technique was different from ordinary Sharingan genjutsu; not only could it permanently alter one's will, but it could also be activated without direct eye contact.

"Yes, we just returned from completing the mission."

The two replied.

In fact, their mission was not yet complete; they had been urgently recalled by the Third Hokage, and their mission was handed over to other Anbu Ninja.

However, they would obviously not disclose this to Uchiha Fugaku.

Although they were Uchiha, deep down, they had already drawn a clear line with the Uchiha Clan, believing they possessed a "higher perspective" and "foresight" that transcended the clan.

Uchiha Fugaku and other clan members who focused on clan interests and prioritized them, in their eyes, lacked vision and breadth of mind.

"I suppose you two are tired; go rest!"

Although he didn't have mind-reading abilities, Uchiha Fugaku could roughly guess their thoughts.

Knowing that they had become White-eyed Wolves, he temporarily couldn't expose them.

Too lazy to feign cordiality with the two White-eyed Wolves, he dismissed them after a few exchanges, preferring them out of sight, out of mind.

"Yes."

The two responded and left, not separating, as they still needed to report to Hokage-sama later.

After they left, Uchiha Fugaku stood in the courtyard, his expression calm, but his thoughts racing.

The return of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi made him feel danger.

Uchiha Itachi had not yet awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan and posed no threat to him, but Uchiha Shisui was different.

The Eye Technique Kotoamatsukami, which could permanently alter one's will, was like a "Sword of Damocles" hanging over his head.

He did not want his will to be tampered with; in that case, he would no longer be himself, but merely a puppet.

"How can I avoid having my will altered by Kotoamatsukami?"

Uchiha Fugaku pondered.

The best way to avoid having his will altered by Kotoamatsukami was, naturally, to kill Uchiha Shisui, who possessed Kotoamatsukami, and then destroy his eyes or seize them for himself.

However, as another Mangekyo Sharingan user, he was not confident he could defeat and kill Uchiha Shisui.

Even with a sneak attack, he wasn't confident he could kill Uchiha Shisui.

Danzo Shimura prepared so thoroughly, with almost the entire Root force deployed, yet Uchiha Shisui still managed to escape.

If it were him, the result would likely be the same.

Not to mention his own strength, the power he commanded was inferior to Danzo Shimura's.

As a Clan Head who wasn't particularly popular, only a very small portion of the Uchiha Clan was absolutely loyal to him.

"The method of killing Uchiha Shisui won't work, so I can only make myself resistant to Kotoamatsukami!"

Uchiha Fugaku mused inwardly.

Although Kotoamatsukami was a terrifying and almost unresolvable Eye Technique, there must be a way to resist and become immune to it.

Truly unresolvable "jutsu" did not exist.

Even Uchiha Obito's Kamui had a method of resistance; otherwise, he wouldn't have been defeated in the Fourth Great Ninja War.

He believed Kotoamatsukami must be the same.

"Kotoamatsukami is, at its core, a genjutsu cast using ocular power. As long as one's ocular power is strong enough, they should be able to resist Kotoamatsukami."

Uchiha Fugaku thought of the death match between Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi.

During the battle, Uchiha Itachi cast Tsukuyomi, a genjutsu residing in his Mangekyo Sharingan, on Uchiha Sasuke, and Uchiha Sasuke, relying on his ocular power, broke free from Tsukuyomi.

Although Uchiha Itachi's holding back was a factor, it also proved that as long as one's ocular power is strong enough, they can break free from powerful genjutsu like Tsukuyomi.

By extension, the genjutsu Kotoamatsukami could also be resisted, and the condition was possessing powerful ocular power.

"With the Mangekyo Sharingan, my ocular power is already extremely strong. If I further integrate hashirama cells to remove the usage limitations of the Mangekyo Sharingan, I should be able to resist Kotoamatsukami!"

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes lit up. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that resisting Kotoamatsukami with powerful ocular power was highly feasible.

The integration of hashirama cells would allow him to possess a Mangekyo Sharingan without usage limitations.

Although the boost it provided wouldn't be as significant as evolving into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, it would certainly bring some level of improvement and enhance his ocular power.

With enhanced ocular power, his resistance to genjutsu like Kotoamatsukami would naturally strengthen, and he would naturally gain the ability to resist Kotoamatsukami.

"It seems the first thing I need to do is acquire a White Zetsu Corpse and use Corpse Fusion to obtain hashirama cells."

Uchiha Fugaku's thoughts became clear, and he already had a plan for what to do next.

It was certain that White Zetsu existed within the Land of Rain, the Akatsuki Organization's stronghold.

What he needed to do next was infiltrate the Land of Rain and obtain a White Zetsu Corpse.

Chirp—

In the sky, a cry sounded.

Uchiha Fugaku looked up at the sky and saw a messenger hawk circling above the Village, chirping.

This was the signal for the Village to hold a meeting, summoning the Village's mid- and high-level personnel.
