Thinking of this, Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but feel his heart slowly sinking, and the light in his eyes dimmed considerably.

Unexpectedly, even the Third Hokage couldn't tolerate my Kotoamatsukami.

Uchiha Shisui connected the dots of his own death with the events leading up to it, and then asked Uchiha Kakuyama, "Anything else?"

Chapter 3 The Eye of Copying

Chapter Three: The Eye of Copying

Uchiha Kakuzan seemed to be struggling to hold back something; his voice was hoarse as he spoke, each word distinct and deliberate:

"The Uchiha clan has been wiped out!"

Uchiha Kakuzan's eyes were bloodshot as he glared fiercely at Uchiha Shisui. However, Shisui knew that he wasn't staring at him, but at the enemy from a few years later.

"That night, neither the Uchiha ninjas nor the ordinary clansmen escaped; they all died. In the end, only two clansmen survived: Uchiha Itachi defected, leaving only the clan leader's youngest son, Uchiha Sasuke, in Konoha."

Uchiha Kakuzan did not say that it was Uchiha Itachi who killed the entire Uchiha clan. Although Uchiha Itachi told Sasuke that he killed the Uchiha clan, anyone with a brain would know that this was impossible if they thought about it carefully.

As the largest clan in Konoha, the Uchiha clan was so powerful that even if Itachi Uchiha were alive, or even if Hashirama Senju, the first Hokage, were alive, he would not have been able to wipe out the Uchiha clan quietly without any help.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Uchiha Shisui fell silent, and the two remained speechless.

At that moment, the moon climbed into the sky, and its light shone on the two expressionless faces.

After a long silence, Uchiha Shisui seemed to accept reality and finally spoke, asking calmly:

Have you said these things to anyone else?

Uchiha Kakuzan shook his head:

"No, what I'm saying is too shocking. Even if I told you, most people wouldn't believe me."

"Didn't you go to see the clan chief? If you explain it to him in detail, I think he will believe you."

Upon hearing Uchiha Shisui's request to speak to the clan head, Uchiha Kakuzan decisively shook his head: "No, I don't trust the clan head."

"why?"

"Because the clan leader also possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, and although he ultimately died, the only two surviving Uchiha were his sons. Don't you think that's too much of a coincidence? I can't judge the clan leader's stance. If I tell him and get caught up in it, that's fine, but there's no way to save you and the clan."

Uchiha Shisui seemed to have been persuaded by Uchiha Kakuzan, and looked at him, asking:

"What do you need me to do?"

Seeing that Shisui believed him, Uchiha Kakuyama breathed a sigh of relief. He had spent so much time talking and finally convinced Shisui. It seemed that the future could still be changed.

"Shisui, you are one of the strongest members of our Uchiha clan, and now you are the hope of our people. I hope you will be extra careful and never let your guard down, especially with the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura around. Be extra vigilant and don't let your guard down when they are nearby."

Hearing Qiu Shan's words, Zhi Shui knew he was worried about her safety, so she nodded and replied, "Of course, don't worry!"

"Also, did you tell anyone that you've activated the kaleidoscope?"

Seeing Uchiha Shisui shake his head, Qiu Shan felt relieved.

"That's good. Don't tell anyone you've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Remember, it's *anyone*. No secrets stay hidden forever. Every additional person you tell increases the danger."

Uchiha Kakuyama gave him some more instructions, still worried.

"Finally, could you tell me the name and function of your Mangekyou Sharingan's eye technique? That way, I'll have a better understanding and can make plans and arrangements based on our specific situation. Of course, I'll tell you about my Mangekyou Sharingan's eye technique and its function first, is that alright?"

Shisui thought about it and felt that Qiushan's request was not excessive. Moreover, for the future of the Uchiha clan, the two of them really needed to join forces, so he nodded and agreed.

Seeing that Uchiha Shisui had agreed, Uchiha Kakuzan breathed a sigh of relief. All that talk and all that action, and it was all for the sake of copying Shisui's Kotoamatsukami.

Uchiha Kakuzan pointed to his left eye and continued, "The eye technique of my Mangekyou Sharingan's left eye is called 'Gap in Time,' which allows me to see some scenes and fragments of the future. The drawback is that it's not under my control; it's random, as you already know."

Seeing Uchiha Shisui nod to indicate that he understood, Uchiha Kakuzan suddenly asked, "Shisui, do you remember what my nickname is?"

"Yes, I remember. It's called the Uchiha Copy Eye. Among the Uchiha clan, you are the most skilled at copying enemy ninjutsu."

Seeing that Shisui still knew his nickname, Uchiha Kakuzan suddenly chuckled twice, proudly pointing to his right eye, and said:

"The name of the pupil technique in my right eye is 'Copycat Eye,' can you guess what it does?"

"Copying Eyes? You could copy ninjutsu when you had the three-tomoe Sharingan, and now you have the Mangekyou Sharingan, so your copying ability must have improved..." Uchiha Shisui muttered to himself.

Gradually, he seemed to be frightened by his own guess, and the way he looked at Uchiha Kakuyama became increasingly strange.

Uchiha Kakuyama chuckled twice, somewhat smugly saying, "That's right, just as you guessed, my Mangekyou Sharingan can now copy some special ninjutsu. These special ninjutsu have a special name: 'Kekkei Genkai'."

Actually, Uchiha Kakuzan's Sharingan hasn't reached the level of being able to copy bloodline limits yet. However, according to the system's prompts, as long as Uchiha Kakuzan's Sharingan can copy Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami and successfully evolve into the Mangekyou Sharingan, he will be able to copy some of the bloodline limits' ninjutsu.

Seeing that Shisui seemed frightened by him, Uchiha Kakuyama scratched his head sheepishly and added, "Don't be scared. It can only replicate a limited number of things. It's not as exaggerated as you think."

Uchiha Shisui snapped out of his daze and found his earlier outburst somewhat amusing.

"I thought my Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques were already terrifying, but I didn't expect your eye techniques to be no less powerful than mine."

Uchiha Shisui paused for a moment, then said, "My Mangekyou Sharingan's left and right eyes possess the same ocular technique called 'Kotoamatsukami.' Its ability is to manipulate others at will without their knowledge and to permanently and completely alter their thoughts and will."

"However, it has a major drawback: the cooldown time is very long. I can feel that after using my eye technique once, I need to wait at least ten years before I can use it again."

At this point, Uchiha Shisui sighed deeply, feeling utterly helpless: "I originally wanted to use this eye technique to ease the tension between the village and our Uchiha clan, but now it seems I have failed, and lost my life and Sharingan."

Upon hearing Shisui reveal the abilities of his Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Kakuzan knew he was one step closer to his goal. He spoke cautiously, "If this is your Mangekyou ability, then I know how to ease the tensions between the clan and the village."

Chapter 4 Obtaining Kotoamatsukami

Chapter Four: Obtaining Kotoamatsukami

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Shisui grasped at the last straw like a drowning person. It can be said that Uchiha Shisui was the one who most hoped for peaceful coexistence between the clan and the village.

If my suggestion were to have the Uchiha clan leave Konoha, Uchiha Shisui would probably be the most upset, or rather, the most disagreeing, even though the best solution right now is for the Uchiha clan to leave Konoha.

Because Konoha Village, as the number one ninja village, has too many incidents, big and small. For example, in a few years, Jiraiya's traitorous disciple will come to Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails, and will immediately unleash a Super Shinra Tensei, razing the massive village to the ground. And so on and so forth...

Therefore, the best solution now is for the entire Uchiha clan to relocate and leave Konoha. Perhaps the Third Hokage, seeing how sensible the Uchiha clan is, might even hold a farewell ceremony. However, after the farewell, they might just take it one step at a time and have a legitimate reason to wipe out the Uchiha clan.

Furthermore, as someone who embraced the Will of Fire as his faith, Uchiha Shisui loved not only his clansmen but also the entire Hidden Leaf Village. Therefore, Uchiha Shisui would likely not agree with this opinion.

Therefore, as a last resort, in order to save their own lives and the lives of the Uchiha clan, the only way to change the fate of the Uchiha clan being wiped out was to ease the tensions between the clan and the village.

With that in mind, Uchiha Kakuyama posed his question to Uchiha Shisui.

"Shisui, who do you want to use this eye technique on? Tell me, and I'll see if it's right."

Uchiha Shisui scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

“I want to use Kotoamatsukami on Shimura Danzo and our clan chief so that we can ease tensions and reduce conflict.”

Upon hearing Shisui's words, Uchiha Kakuzan covered his head in despair.

"Don't you know where the problem lies? Danzo is only the Uchiha's apparent enemy. The one who truly distrusts the Uchiha and has the authority to make decisions is the Third Hokage. Moreover, within our clan, our clan leader isn't a proponent of war. He's been mediating between the clan and the village, though his efforts haven't been very effective. The ones who truly instigate the conflict are the Grand Elder and his group. Shisui, you've come to the wrong person."

It's surprising that while Uchiha Shisui possessed such high combat talent, he was completely inept at seeing through the essence of things.

Upon hearing Qiu Shan's words, Uchiha Shisui realized how naive he had been, and asked somewhat uncertainly:

"So, the targets of my eye technique should be the Third Hokage and the Grand Elder?"

Qiu Shan shook his head: "That's not enough. Danzo's relationship with the Third Hokage is too close. If you change the Third Hokage's mind, Danzo will soon realize something is wrong, and then there will be no turning back. Either you, Uchiha Shisui, will betray us, or the Uchiha clan will be wiped out. Therefore, you need to change the minds of at least three people simultaneously for this to succeed."

Hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, Shisui, somewhat angry and dejected, threw the stone in his hand into the river.

"Is there no other way?"

Seeing Uchiha Shisui sulking there, Uchiha Kousan hesitated, opened his mouth but didn't say anything, and then closed it again.

Seeing Qiu Shan's appearance, a glimmer of hope rekindled in Zhi Shui's heart.

"Don't you have some ideas? Things have come to this point, what can't you say?"

Seeing Shisui's anxious eyes, Uchiha Kakuyama thought for a moment and then spoke up.

"Actually, my eye technique 'Copying Eye' has another ability, which is to copy the eye techniques of the Mangekyou Sharingan. I didn't mention it before because I didn't plan to use this ability, so as not to make you misunderstand and think that I was spying on your eye techniques."

Although he felt guilty about deceiving honest people, Uchiha Kakuzan had no other choice. Right now, only Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan was the easiest to copy. Only in this way could his Sharingan evolve at the fastest speed.

Moreover, he intended to help Shisui. If his Sharingan hadn't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he would at most be considered high-level cannon fodder, let alone save Uchiha Shisui's life and change the fate of the Uchiha clan being wiped out.

Uchiha Shisui was surprised that Uchiha Okayama's Sharingan could copy his own eye techniques. At first, he was a little surprised, but he was soon replaced by joy.

"How could that be? I'm overjoyed! I'm happy to do my part for the survival of the Uchiha clan."

Although Uchiha Shisui loved the village, he loved his clan even more. Even in his death, he thought of his clan and the village.

The Uchiha clan's bloodline is strange. Those who pursue power are often not very strong, while those who don't want power but only love often gain power that others can only dream of after losing love.

Therefore, the Second Hokage believed that the Uchiha clan was an evil clan because the strong members of the Uchiha clan (those who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan) had basically all lost the people they loved, meaning they had all been corrupted by evil.

Seeing that Shisui agreed to his request so readily, Uchiha Kakuzan couldn't help but ask Shisui:

"Shisui, don't you suspect I'm lying to you?"

"How could that be? I believe you. You are my best friend, someone I can entrust my life to!" Uchiha Shisui smiled brightly upon hearing Qiu Shan's words.

Hearing Shisui's words, Uchiha Kakuzan was deeply moved and secretly made a vow:

Don't worry, Shisui, you are also my dear friend. I will definitely save your life and save our family.

"Alright, Shisui, let's begin. Now, you need to activate your Mangekyou Sharingan so I can copy your eye technique. Don't worry, it will be quick, and it won't cause you any harm."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Shisui nodded and silently channeled the chakra within his body, directing it towards his eyes.

Watching Shisui's Sharingan spin faster and faster from three tomoe, finally forming the shape of a four-cornered shuriken.

I'd only ever seen the Mangekyou Sharingan in anime before; this is the first time I've seen it in real life. It feels even more mysterious and magnificent than in anime, and it has a captivating power.

Seeing that Uchiha Shisui had activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and was waiting for him, Qiu Shan immediately activated his own Sharingan and confronted Shisui's Mangekyou.

When Uchiha Kakuzan's Sharingan clashed with Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, he felt his Sharingan spinning faster and faster, his chakra and mental energy being rapidly depleted. At the same time, his Sharingan became increasingly hot as the tomoe rotated, as if it were about to melt.

Finally, when Uchiha Kagami had exhausted a large amount of chakra and mental energy and was about to give up, the speed of his Sharingan's rotation finally slowed down, and the tomoe slowly outlined a pattern exactly the same as Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Uchiha Okayama's Mangekyou Sharingan has finally been completed.

Chapter 5 Uchiha Okazan's Mangekyou Sharingan

Chapter 5 Uchiha Okayama's Mangekyou Sharingan

When the same pattern as Shisui appeared in Uchiha Kagawa's eyes, he finally received a system notification:

"Congratulations, host, on successfully copying the eye technique 'Kotoamatsukami'. The system is learning and digesting it... It is expected to be usable in 12 hours."

"Congratulations, host, on successfully awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan. The system's learning and assimilation have been accelerated... It is expected to be usable in 1 hour."

After receiving the system notification, Uchiha Kakuyama finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and obtained the 'Kotoamatsukami' eye technique. He was no longer cannon fodder and now had the ability to protect himself.
