Chapter 151 Uchiha Itachi, doesn't he still have parents?

boom! !

The moment the body was engulfed by the explosion, the two tense bodies reacted instinctively, instantly moving away from the blast without hesitation.

Looking at the completely destroyed corpses in the distance, and then at Hyuga Kumokawa whose expression had changed slightly, Uchiha Shisui's heart began to pound.

"As expected, Hinata Kumokawa didn't realize I had broken his genjutsu, and he certainly didn't expect that I had witnessed the entire process of him gouging out his Byakugan and then destroying the evidence..."

"Pity."

As he pondered, he heard Itachi Uchiha's murmur beside him. Shisui subconsciously turned his head and saw Itachi's face filled with lingering fear and regret.

"What did Itachi see in the illusion?" Shisui wondered. "It must have been Mukai himself igniting the explosive tags, wanting to take everyone down with him."

At that moment, Hinata Kumokawa also turned around, a regretful expression on his face.

"It's a pity we couldn't find any bodies, otherwise we could have dug out more information." He sighed.

Watching his slightly exaggerated acting, Uchiha Shisui, who thought he had seen through him, couldn't help but twitch his eye, but still cooperated and said, "Everyone is fine, as long as the mission is completed."

Uchiha Itachi, standing to the side, looked at Hyuga Kumokawa, frowned as if he wanted to say something, but noticed Shisui's gaze and silently swallowed the words of dissatisfaction that were on the tip of his tongue.

He originally wanted to question Hinata Kumokawa about why he hadn't made a move.

"Well, that's the only way. Let's take the body back."

Hinata Kumokawa extinguished the flames, took out the charred corpse, put it into a scroll, and tossed it to Shisui, saying helplessly, "I wasn't of much help on this mission. I will report to the Third Hokage."

After saying that, his figure disappeared first, while Uchiha Shisui and Itachi exchanged a glance and silently followed.

By evening, the three of them had finally returned to Konoha. Hyuga Kumokawa exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Shisui and the other two before parting ways to go to the Hokage Building to give a report.

After he left, Shisui and the other person arrived at the Namaka River.

"Shisui, what happened?" Itachi Uchiha asked hurriedly.

"Don't rush." ​​Uchiha Shisui shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Tell me again the whole process of our battle with Kohinata Mukai."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha, though puzzled, recounted everything he had experienced.

"Sure enough."

After listening to his account, Uchiha Shisui's eyes flickered as he scanned the deep darkness around him, as if to confirm whether some unseen threat had truly gone away.

"Hyuga Kumokawa has concealed his illusion abilities."

After confirming that no one was around, he said directly, "Everything you saw before was an illusion. The real few minutes were cleverly replaced. He actually gouged out Wujie's Byakugan."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha was first stunned, then his pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran through his body like an electric current!

Everything he saw was an illusion?!
If it had been someone else who said this instead of Shisui, Itachi Uchiha would never have believed it so easily.

As a genius of the Uchiha clan, how could he be completely unaware that he had been subjected to genjutsu by the Hyuga clan? What kind of low-level joke is this?

But since these words came from Shisui, he had no choice but to believe them.

"What is Hyuga Kumokawa trying to do by hiding this ability?"

A sense of surprise and doubt welled up in Itachi Uchiha's heart. He took a deep breath, looked at Shisui with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "We must report this matter to the Third Hokage."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but Zhishui suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Wait a minute, Itachi."

"Shisui, we have to hurry, that guy..."

Uchiha Itachi was about to say something, but the moment he turned to look at Shisui, his expression suddenly changed, and his heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a hand.

“You, your eyes…” he blurted out.

In Uchiha Shisui's crimson eyes, three tomoe rapidly spun, transformed, and merged, eventually coalescing into an unprecedented pattern that exuded a chilling aura.

A chill that originated from the depths of its blood instantly gripped Itachi!

"These eyes are called the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Shisui's tone was calm, but his eyes were unusually deep. He said softly, "Do you know why the Sharingan is called the 'eye that reflects the soul'?"

"Why, why?" Itachi's voice was hoarse and he asked absentmindedly.

"Because once a member of the Uchiha clan awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, they will awaken a special eye technique based on their own desires."

Uchiha Shisui said in a deep voice, "After I opened these eyes, I mastered a dojutsu called 'Kotoamatsukami'."

"This eye technique allows me to directly invade the enemy's brain and permanently alter their will without them noticing."

Alteration of will?
These four words struck Itachi's heart like a heavy hammer, sending a chill down his spine. Even the genjutsu Hyuga Kumokawa used on them only trapped them in a self-created illusion, but Shisui's eye technique could actually alter will?!
Doesn't this mean...

"impossible."

Seemingly seeing through his thoughts, Uchiha Shisui shook his head. "Once this technique is used, it takes a long time before it can be used again, so I haven't used it yet."

"However, this is the effect of the 'Kotoamatsukami' in the left eye; the 'Kotoamatsukami' in the right eye is continuous."

"Although it can't alter will like the left eye in one go, it can still subtly control will by interfering with chakra, and can be used multiple times in a short period of time."

As Shisui explained his own eye technique, Itachi Uchiha gradually calmed down.

Combining his previous experiences with Shisui's eye technique, Itachi suddenly had a bold guess.

He abruptly looked up at Zhishui, meeting those eerie eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Zhishui, do you mean to..."

“Yes, this was the inspiration I got from Hyuga Kumokawa.” Shisui nodded. “If Kotoamatsukami is used, even Lord Fugaku, who has the name of ‘Evil Eye,’ will not be able to resist it.”

"As long as the will to 'be loyal to the village and abandon the coup' is implanted, he will voluntarily stop the coup, and Lord Fugaku will genuinely believe that it was his own idea."

"This is the most perfect solution I could think of."

He paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "However, because Lord Fugaku is your father, that's what makes me hesitate..."

"No!"

Before he could finish speaking, Itachi Uchiha interrupted him, shaking his head without hesitation and saying, "As long as the coup can be stopped, it's worth any sacrifice. You don't need to worry about me."

Having said that, he looked intently at Zhishui: "If these eyes are the reflection of the soul, then when you opened them, what you were thinking must have been the hope that there would be no more conflict, right?"

"This is also my long-cherished wish."

No bloodshed, no sacrifice!
He would do anything to stop the clansmen's coup and avoid meaningless conflicts, even if it meant manipulating his father's mind!

“I knew you’d agree.” Uchiha Shisui breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, “But before that, we still need to report Hyuga Kumokawa’s genjutsu to the Third Hokage…”

After saying that, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the Hokage Building in the distance.

At the same time, in the shade of the tree canopy hundreds of meters above the two people, the shadow of the branches and leaves swayed slightly.

A Root ninja, tasked with monitoring Itachi and Shisui, lay in wait, his specially trained sensory ninjutsu straining to detect the faint whispers in the distance.

Uchiha Shisui's eye technique also made him feel a chill run down his spine.

Although Uchiha Shisui and Itachi said they would use this eye technique on Uchiha Fugaku, who knows if they might suddenly change their minds and turn to control the Konoha leadership?

"This terrifying ability must be reported to Lord Danzo immediately!"

Thinking of this, the Root ninjas were on high alert and concealed themselves, preparing to retreat quietly.

However, at that moment, a pure white figure emerged from the tree trunk behind him without warning.

puff.

The sharp arm pierced the Root ninja's heart in an instant, and he lost his life before he could even utter a muffled groan.

Meanwhile, the White Zetsu's appearance began to twist and deform. A moment later, a figure with the exact same appearance and aura as the victim appeared in the same spot.

And so it perfectly took his place, continuing to quietly "monitor" the distance.

The process was silent and incredibly fast.

A distorted vortex appeared in space, and Obito Uchiha's figure appeared, while half of Zetsu's body also emerged.

“Kotoamatsukami…” Obito murmured solemnly, “There is such a terrifying eye technique.”

As if suddenly remembering something, he turned to look at Jue beside him.

Why did you help Uchiha Shisui conceal his eye technique abilities?

Obito frowned and asked, "Given Danzo Shimura's suspiciousness and greed, once he learns of Kotoamatsukami's abilities, he will definitely choose to kill Uchiha Shisui without hesitation."

"If we want Itachi Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, wouldn't it be better to just let him witness Shisui's death?"

“No.” Black Zetsu’s hoarse voice rang out, “Uchiha Shisui is very valuable. We lack usable tools right now, and his eye technique might be able to have a miraculous effect.”

"Besides, who said that awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan means you can only witness the death of your friends?"

He paused here, his tone turning deep and chilling, carrying a cruel, mocking undertone: "Itachi, don't you still have your father and mother?"

"What could be more powerful, more thorough, or more reliable than the spiritual impact of personally ending the life of a loved one for the sake of one's unwavering belief in 'righteousness'?"
