Naruto: My Sharingan is about to burst!

Although he couldn't use his eye techniques for the time being, Qiu Shan couldn't help but activate his Mangekyou Sharingan again. Compared to the previous three-tomoe Sharingan, the Mangekyou Sharingan was far superior, even without using eye techniques.

First of all, due to his immense spiritual power, his chakra was already much greater than that of his peers. Now, with the awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan, his chakra has doubled. He can now be considered a small tailed beast, allowing him to unleash his map-wide attacks without restraint.

Secondly, the Mangekyou Sharingan's amplification of genjutsu is terrifying. Perhaps because Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan is genjutsu-type, Uchiha Kakuyama could feel that his current genjutsu could instantly kill anyone below the Kage level. Even Kage-level powerhouses would have to be careful when fighting him, or they would also suffer a setback.

The awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan can be said to have comprehensively enhanced his combat power, raising him from an elite Jonin to a Kage-level ninja. Even though his combat talent is not as good as Uchiha Shisui's, he can now go toe-to-toe with the Third Hokage and escape unscathed.

Moreover, he possesses an advantage that Uchiha Shisui lacks: immense mental strength and a vast amount of chakra. Once he becomes familiar with the Mangekyou Sharingan and develops his own divine power, he estimates he will be able to directly unlock the second or even third stage of Susanoo. This would drastically increase his combat power, allowing him to instantly become a top-tier Kage-level shinobi.

After checking his condition, Uchiha Kakuyama opened his eyes, and his Mangekyou Sharingan, just like Uchiha Shisui's, began to spin continuously.

Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan had already exited the Mangekyou Sharingan state. Looking at Qiu Shan's Mangekyou Sharingan, he sighed softly:

"Even though you already told me, seeing that you actually copied my kaleidoscope is still incredibly amazing."

At this moment, Uchiha Kakuyama felt that he was in a great state, as if he could challenge everything and everything. He knew that this was just an illusion caused by the surge in his chakra and eye power.

Uchiha Kakuzan composed himself and replied with a smile, "Shisui, I have to thank you for that. Because of copying your eye technique, I feel that my Sharingan has benefited a lot, and my strength has also improved a lot."

Upon hearing Qiu Shan's gratitude, Uchiha Shisui smiled and shook his head.

"I did all of this willingly, and besides, I didn't lose anything."

"Qiu Shan, you recently awakened the Kaleidoscope and copied my eye technique. You'll probably need some time to stabilize. Not only do you need to adapt to your sudden increase in strength, but you also need to stabilize your mindset. Otherwise, it might have a negative impact on your future development."

As someone who had been through it all, Uchiha Shisui knew that there would be a period of explosive power when one first awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. If one did not adjust their mindset, they would easily put themselves in danger when encountering enemies in the future.

Uchiha Kakuzan knew, of course, that Shisui was doing this for his own good. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Gradually, he reduced the input of chakra into his Sharingan, which transformed from the Mangekyou Sharingan into the Three Tomoe Sharingan. Finally, the Sharingan slowly closed.

"Alright, now it's time to make a plan on how to change the fate of the Uchiha clan," Uchiha Kakuyama thought silently.

Uchiha Kakuzan stared at Shisui with a serious expression: "Shisui, I now also possess the 'Kotoamatsukami' eye technique. Now, let's discuss who should use it and to what extent."

Uchiha Shisui nodded in agreement: "I used to think that the Third Hokage could be trusted, but I didn't expect that he was someone who stood behind Danzo. Therefore, I think we should use this on both the Third Hokage and Danzo once each."

“Hmm.” Uchiha Kakuzan agreed with Shisui’s point of view. “The Third Hokage and Danzo are going to use ‘Kotoamatsukami’ once. However, as the highest level of Konoha, we can’t change our thinking too much, otherwise, it will be easy for others to find out. Don’t forget, as a staunch supporter of the Third Hokage, Nara Shikaku is too intelligent and will easily find some clues. Moreover, if we change the Third Hokage too much, it will be easy to leave traces and be discovered by the Yamanaka clan.”

"Yes, I will be careful. As for the Third Hokage, I will only make him subconsciously ignore the Uchiha clan, at most be slightly more friendly. This is consistent with his usual attitude towards the Uchiha clan. As for Danzo, although he usually stays in the shadows and doesn't attract attention, I won't change him too much. As long as I eliminate his hostility towards the Uchiha clan and make him think that the Uchiha clan is insignificant, then the Third Hokage and Danzo won't attack our clan too much."

Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't expected Shisui to be so thoughtful. It should be said that he truly deserved to be called a genius of the Uchiha clan. Although Uchiha Shisui was completely fooled by the Third Hokage, his intelligence was not low. It can only be said that the Third Hokage disguised himself too well, and Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were completely fooled by him.

With the village having decided on the candidate for Kotoamatsukami, the Uchiha clan also needs to control the pro-war faction. Otherwise, even if the village's leadership doesn't hold a grudge against the Uchiha, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village will only deepen.

Then, Shisui looked at Uchiha Kakuyama and said, "In that case, I'll leave the clan's elder in Kakuyama's care."

Yes, the representative of the Uchiha clan's pro-war faction was Elder Uchiha Ryo. As the elder of the Uchiha clan, his power and prestige were second only to the clan head, Uchiha Fugaku. If it weren't for his persistent provocation of the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village would not be so tense and hostile.

Seeing the expectation in Uchiha Shisui's eyes, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded and smiled:

"Don't worry, leave the Elder's situation to me. Compared to my side, your side is much more dangerous. Right now, while the Third Hokage trusts you, Danzo won't be too wary of you. They won't expect your Kotoamatsukami ability to change their minds, because such a ninjutsu or dojutsu has never appeared before. So, to prevent any unforeseen complications, let's act quickly."

Chapter 6 Nighttime Operations

Chapter Six: Nighttime Operations

As Uchiha Shisui's figure disappeared into the night, Uchiha Kakuzan knew that Shisui had risked his life and future in this operation.

If successful, the Uchiha clan will be out of trouble. If they fail, the Third Hokage will not dare to turn against the Uchiha clan for the time being, but Uchiha Shisui will definitely be judged as an S-rank rogue ninja by the Third Hokage. There will be no place for him in Konoha or even the Land of Fire. He will be hunted down to death by the village he loves.

However, there are some things that even if you don't do them and I don't do them, someone else has to do them, and someone has to bear the burden.

Uchiha Kakuzan had considered doing it, but firstly, he had just awakened his Sharingan and couldn't adapt to the surge in chakra and ocular power. Secondly, in Shisui's eyes, Kakuzan was merely a copy of Kotoamatsukami and couldn't simultaneously keep an eye on the Third Hokage and Shimura Danzo. Thirdly, although Uchiha Kakuzan had a good relationship with Shisui, he was a typical member of the Uchiha clan, and the Third Hokage and Danzo would be wary of him.

Therefore, this task can only be undertaken by Uchiha Shisui.

Moreover, Uchiha Kakuyama also has a mission: he needs to find Elder Uchiha Ryo. Only when both sides change their hostile attitudes can the friction between the Uchiha clan and the village be reduced.

Just then, Uchiha Kakuyama heard the system notification.

"Congratulations, host. You have mastered and digested the Kotoamatsukami technique. The side effects of the Mangekyou Sharingan have decreased, its usage time has increased, and it can slightly restore your Mangekyou Sharingan. Please check the details yourself."

Upon hearing the system notification, Uchiha Kakuyama couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly, focusing his attention on his Sharingan.

Because of its immense power, Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami eye technique requires an extremely long recovery time, taking more than ten years to be usable a second time.

Uchiha Okayama's copy of Kotoamatsukami, after systematic learning and assimilation, not only became smoother to use, but also shortened the recovery time from more than ten years to half a year. Moreover, as long as he did not frequently use eye techniques and Susanoo, Uchiha Okayama's Mangekyou Sharingan could be used for almost a lifetime.

"Very good. In that case, even if I can't obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in the future, I won't have to worry about going blind. Now, my eye technique 'Kotoamatsukami' is ready, and I should go pay a visit to our beloved Grand Elder."

. . . . . .

Because the borders of the Land of Fire have been rather unsettled lately, with some neighboring countries showing signs of restlessness, the Third Hokage, as the leader of Konoha, has a heavy workload. It's only natural that he would be working overtime during this time.

Uchiha Shisui certainly knew where to find the Third Hokage. As the saying goes, the simpler the plan, the less likely it is to go wrong. Therefore, Uchiha Shisui planned to go directly to the Third Hokage. Since the Kotoamatsukami eye technique is very concealed, as long as there are no members of the Hyuga clan watching the Third Hokage with their Byakugan activated, Uchiha Shisui was very confident that the Third Hokage would be unknowingly hit by his Kotoamatsukami.

Of course, the Third Hokage wasn't a pervert, nor could he allow the Hyuga clan to watch him all the time; otherwise, what would be the difference between him and a naked pervert? Normally, the Hokage would only have one or two squads of Anbu on standby at most.

Uchiha Shisui was incredibly fast; otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the title "Shisui of the Body Flicker." He quickly arrived at the foot of the Hokage's building, stopped, and, as if it were any different from his usual greeting to the Hokage, announced loudly:

"Uchiha Shisui has important information and wishes to pay his respects to the Third Hokage."

After saying that, he stood there quietly, without saying a word.

Inside the Hokage Building, the Third Hokage was still at his desk, smoking a pipe and looking at documents. Upon hearing the Anbu report that Uchiha Shisui requested an audience, he put down the documents.

“Uchiha Shisui only returned to the village this afternoon and handed in his mission. It seems that either he missed important information about the mission and forgot to report it, or something has happened to the Uchiha clan.”

"Let Uchiha Shisui in." The Third Hokage took his pipe out of his mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke.

When the Third Hokage saw Uchiha Shisui walk in, he was somewhat dazed, as if he were seeing his good friend Uchiha Kagami. As a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, Uchiha Shisui not only inherited Uchiha Kagami's talent, but also had a similar appearance.

"Uchiha Kagami, don't blame me. Actually, I didn't want to target the Uchiha clan either, but there are too few people in the Uchiha clan who inherit the Will of Fire. I have no choice. Since they can't be used by me, I can only let them slowly disappear." The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, thought silently.

Seeing Uchiha Shisui approach the desk, the Third Hokage composed himself and, before Shisui could speak, asked with a smile:

"Shisui, you just got back from a mission, why aren't you resting at this hour? Is there something important you need to discuss with me? Is there some change within the Uchiha clan?"

Uchiha Shisui knew that the Third Hokage had not yet doubted him, so he knelt on one knee, supported himself with one arm, and said with his head bowed:

"Reporting to the Hokage, everything is fine within the clan. This is a personal matter of mine, and I have come to seek your guidance."

The Third Hokage breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the problem didn't involve the Uchiha clan, and asked with a smile:

"Tell me what your problem is. I've lived longer than you, so I know more."

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, Uchiha Shisui replied:

"Lord Hokage, recently, for some reason, my Sharingan has been experiencing some problems. I don't know if it's good or bad, and I'm feeling uneasy, so I came to see you to see if you could take a look."

Upon hearing Shisui Uchiha's words, the Third Hokage's heart tightened. As the longest-living Hokage, he had heard of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan for countless years, and his master, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, had also told him about it.

The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is not limited to its current power. The three-tomoe Sharingan is not the end point. Only the most talented geniuses in the Uchiha clan can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. The legendary Sharingan awakened by Madara Uchiha was the Mangekyou Sharingan. The Mangekyou Sharingan played a major role in the fearsome deeds he committed.

However, it is still unknown whether Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan is the Mangekyou Sharingan. But Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi is confident in his judgment. He believes that Uchiha Shisui has inherited his Will of Fire and that Shisui is still under his control.

The Third Hokage waved to the Anbu members waiting nearby, telling them to wait outside the room. If Uchiha Shisui had truly awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he would be a powerful weapon in his hands. This news couldn't be leaked, and Danzo couldn't be allowed to find out either.

Chapter 7 Success of Sayonara God

Chapter Seven: Success of Separating Gods

The Third Hokage remained calm and nodded to signal after all the Anbu members had left.

"Shisui, open your Sharingan. Let me take a look and see if there's a problem."

Seeing that the Third Hokage had no suspicions, Uchiha Shisui secretly clenched his fist and respectfully replied:

"Yes, Third Hokage."

Uchiha Shisui raised his head, his gaze meeting that of the Third Hokage. He activated his Sharingan, and the three tomoe in his eyes spun faster and faster until they connected end to end, slowly transforming into a four-cornered shuriken.

The Third Hokage was shocked when he saw Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan. Although it was the first time he had seen it, the Third Hokage was very certain that Uchiha Shisui's eyes were the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan. Just looking into them, one could feel a soul-stirring pressure.

Just then, Uchiha Shisui suddenly increased the output of his eye power, and the eye technique 'Kotoamatsukami' was quietly activated.

Unbeknownst to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, 'Kotoamatsukami' quietly and swiftly invaded his mind, altering his thoughts. At this moment, if Shisui Uchiha were willing, the leader of Konoha Village, one of the highest leaders in the entire ninja world, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, would become his slave, and Shisui Uchiha's orders would be the highest directives of the Third Hokage.

However, he was Uchiha Shisui, a man who loved his village and clan. Although the Third Hokage was somewhat hostile towards the Uchiha clan, how could Uchiha Shisui possibly enslave this elder who had dedicated his life to the village? Moreover, the Land of Fire was not at peace at the moment. If Shisui changed the Third Hokage's mind, it could bring terrible disaster to the village and his clan.

Therefore, Shisui Uchiha was simply using this opportunity to make the Third Hokage ignore the Uchiha clan and stop targeting them. In this way, the Uchiha clan would be preserved, and the village would not fall into disaster (such as war).

The Third Hokage looked at Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, felt a momentary daze, then quickly regained his senses, not paying much attention, and examined the Sharingan pattern more closely before saying:

"Alright, Shisui, put your Sharingan away. I've already examined it. Do you feel that besides the change in the pattern, there are any other changes to your Sharingan?"

Uchiha Shisui deftly withdrew his Mangekyou Sharingan and replied respectfully as before:

"Reporting to the Hokage, since my Sharingan underwent changes, my chakra has increased significantly, my genjutsu abilities have greatly improved, my observation skills have become much sharper, and the power of my ninjutsu has also increased to some extent."

Uchiha Shisui had already discussed it with Uchiha Kakuyama. Apart from concealing the eye techniques contained in the Mangekyou Sharingan to avoid arousing the Third Hokage's suspicion, he told them everything else truthfully. Given the Third Hokage's magnanimity, he was able to tolerate a Kage-level powerhouse, especially since this Kage-level powerhouse was one of his own people.

Upon hearing Uchiha Shisui's words, the Third Hokage couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. It turned out that Uchiha Shisui's strength was among the top of the Jonin, and he earned the title of 'Shisui of the Body Flicker' with his extraordinary combat talent and unparalleled genjutsu skills.

Now, having awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, his strength has leaped to the level of a Kage. Even as the Third Hokage, I'm not confident I could suppress him. The Uchiha clan truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier bloodline clan in the ninja world; the Sharingan makes it far too easy for them to enhance their strength.

However, the Third Hokage had complete faith in Uchiha Shisui. As a descendant of Uchiha Kagami and inheritor of the Will of Fire of the Hokage lineage, and having practically watched him grow up, the Third Hokage was truly confident in Shisui's character. He believed that under Hiruzen Sarutobi's relentless brainwashing, Shisui would not escape his grasp. It seemed that further ideological education would need to be strengthened.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage smiled kindly.

"Shisui, you really do have the Mangekyou Sharingan. That's wonderful! With this, our Konoha Village has gained another Kage-level ninja. At a time when the borders of the Land of Fire are in turmoil, I am truly gratified that you have grown so much."

You see, wherever leaves flutter, there will be fire burning, and that firelight will illuminate the village, and then new leaves will sprout again.

"Shisui, we are like those burning leaves. Even if we sacrifice ourselves, countless descendants will inherit our legacy and create an even more glorious Konoha Village."

Uchiha Shisui heard the Third Hokage's words, and although he knew that the Third Hokage was trying to seduce him as before, he was still deeply moved.

"Although I love my village, I also love my people just as much."

Uchiha Shisui could only silently apologize to the Third Hokage in his heart.

However, on the surface, Uchiha Shisui remained the same as before, seemingly having found a kindred spirit, and his expression was extremely excited.

"Yes, Lord Hokage, as long as our village prospers and our descendants are happy, even if we sacrifice ourselves, it will be a worthy death."

The Third Hokage looked at Uchiha Shisui with a kind expression, just as before, showing great approval of his Will of Fire, and nodded in satisfaction.

Knowing that Uchiha Shisui had just returned from a mission, and that such things could go too far, it was best to stop while one was ahead, he gave him a final word of advice:

"Alright, Shisui, you must be tired too. Go back and rest. However, don't let too many people know that you've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. That way, you'll avoid a lot of trouble."

Uchiha Shisui respectfully replied, "Yes, Hokage-sama, I understand."

Seeing the Third Hokage wave at him, Uchiha Shisui clenched his fist in a salute and walked outside.

After Uchiha Shisui left, the Third Hokage continued processing the remaining documents.

Suddenly, the Third Hokage stopped writing, his brows furrowing as he looked at the document in his hand reporting the Uchiha Police Force's brutal enforcement of the law. He decided to treat the Uchiha more favorably, no longer shifting all the blame onto the police force as before. This way, he could better win over Uchiha Shisui.
