I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

He looked up at Bai Ye, a hint of painful struggle flashing in his eyes.

Overturning the path he had always adhered to left Shisui feeling both bewildered and afraid.

He had already paid a heavy price on this path, but the longer he spent with Bai Ye, the more he realized that the path he had taken seemed to be wrong.

Having walked this path for so long, Shisui felt even more pain in his heart.

"Chieftain, I have awakened the Kaleidoscope."

As if he had made up his mind, the three tomoe in Shisui's pupils spun wildly, and then the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in his pupils: "My eye technique is Kotoamatsukami, which can change a person's thoughts without them noticing. The Sharingan is known as the eye that reflects the mind. Back when I was wavering between the Uchiha and Konoha, I couldn't see any hope, and that's when it came into being. I couldn't see any hope of solving the problem, and I didn't know how to solve the problem between the Uchiha and Konoha, so I pinned my hopes on solving it directly through a simple, direct, and violent means."

But even if there were other gods, he wouldn't dare guarantee that he could accomplish this task.

Therefore, at this moment, Shisui could only accept the Hokage's arrangement. Compared to the Uchiha clan before, he believed that the Uchiha clan would fail, so he attempted to use Kotoamatsukami to change Fugaku Uchiha's mind.

His previous idea was to prove that the Uchiha clan was innocent.

Instead of what Byakuya is saying now, that it's unnecessary to prove the Uchiha clan's guilt.

He has only told Itachi about Kotoamatsukami so far. Now that he is revealing his eye technique to Byakuya, it is actually because he has a glimmer of hope for Byakuya.

"You'd better not tell anyone about this eye technique, otherwise no one can guarantee they won't be tempted by it."

Shortly after Shisui told Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo about these eyes, Danzo immediately took action.

After that, Hiruzen Sarutobi tacitly accepted the matter. In fact, weren't the two of them also wary of Kotoamatsukami?

Hiruzen Sarutobi kept saying he believed in Shisui, but did he really believe him?

If the Root organization is going to take action, it's impossible that Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know!

The entire village of Konoha was practically under Hiruzen Sarutobi's control. This Hokage had been in power in Konoha for so many years. Putting aside other resources, if Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't given his approval, Danzo's Root organization would have been wiped out the very next day.

Currently, all of Danzo's power and influence are dependent on Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Therefore, fearing Kotoamatsukami, Hiruzen Sarutobi ultimately chose to acquiesce to the matter. As for why Danzo didn't use Kotoamatsukami on Hiruzen Sarutobi to force him to abdicate and give it to him, it's highly likely that the two had an agreement, or that Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Danzo wouldn't personally take action against him.

"I know that only Itachi knows so far, and he won't tell anyone else. I roughly understand why you're looking for me, Clan Chief. I'm willing to tell you about my Mangekyou Sharingan and its abilities because what you said before made sense, and it also made me feel that the Uchiha problem doesn't necessarily need to rely on external forces to solve. However, if you want to win me over, please tell me your specific plan. Of course, if you don't want to believe me, then it's fine if you don't tell me!"

Zhishui has already come clean with Baiye. Since he dared to tell Baiye about his abilities directly, it means he is willing to trust Baiye one more time.

His current situation is also awkward; perhaps Bai Ye won't believe him.

After spending so much time in the shadows, I even started to doubt which side I belonged to.

"Why don't you want to believe it? Haven't you been working hard to improve the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha? It's just that you were working in the wrong direction before."

Ultimately, Shisui's efforts were always misguided. By trusting Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo, he ended up taking the Uchiha clan with him to their deaths.

In fact, Bai Ye himself was well aware that, given Konoha's strength, their Uchiha clan might not necessarily succeed if they followed the radical faction and became enemies of the entire Konoha.

On the eve of the Fourth Shinobi World War, during the Five Kage Summit, Sasuke had already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, yet he was still nearly killed by the Raikage.

If the Raikage had really been prepared to discard even his feet at that time, he probably could have crushed Sasuke to death.

Moreover, if Obito hadn't appeared later, they probably would have been killed by Onoki.

The Mangekyou Sharingan combined with Kage-level strength is icing on the cake, but a Kage who becomes a Kage through the Mangekyou Sharingan might not necessarily win against the Five Kage.

Don't let Hiruzen Sarutobi's current age fool you; he's not stupid. When he fought Orochimaru, he was fighting against inferior versions of the First and Second Hokage, as well as Orochimaru at his peak. He still managed to take down Orochimaru's hands. If he hadn't been soft-hearted, he probably could have taken Orochimaru down with him.

Danzo's actions in the original story were all quite foolish, like stabbing Susanoo with a kunai, but his strength was definitely at the level of an elite Jonin. With so many ninjas in Konoha, even with the Mangekyou Sharingan, Byakuya felt he couldn't defeat Konoha.

Therefore, Byakuya was able to understand Shisui's despair back then.

Right now, it seems that Shisui is also inclined to side with him, so he would have to be out of his mind to drive Shisui away!

"Thank you."

Zhi Shui felt a warmth in his heart. He had been misunderstood for many years, but he had no complaints. Now that someone was willing to believe in him, he felt a mix of emotions.

"Shisui, do you know about Danzo?"

"Danzo?"

Zhi Shui shook his head, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and then asked, "Does the clan leader mean he understands him, or..."

"No, I know what kind of person he is. He has always followed the policies of the Second Hokage, but he is more radical. He wants to wipe out the Uchiha clan and also covets the power of the Uchiha. He already knows the Uchiha's secret technique Izanagi, and he has already transplanted our Uchiha Sharingan into his arm. This massacre of the clan was actually orchestrated by him all along."

Byakuya needs to remind Shisui about Danzo's matter.

That guy has always coveted the Sharingan.

Upon hearing Byakuya's words, Shisui's expression immediately changed: "Then why don't we expose this matter, clan leader? We could tell the Hokage!"

Shisui was somewhat agitated. Although he had always disapproved of violence, it didn't mean he could stand by and watch his Sharingan be taken by others.

Furthermore, how exactly did Danzo acquire his Sharingan? And how did Byakuya find out?

Zhi Shui's mind was also a complete mess at that moment.

Every word that came out of Byakuya's mouth left Shisui somewhat bewildered.

"Do you think our Hokage doesn't know what Root and Danzo have been doing all these years? Danzo's Sharingan arm was Orochimaru's research. After Orochimaru was let go by our Hokage, Danzo wasn't pursued by our Hokage. It's impossible for him to say he didn't know anything, right? It can only be said that our Uchiha clan isn't the Hokage's favorite!"

Bai Ye couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark at the end.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's double standards have always been evident. The Uchiha clan is a destabilizing force. Despite Danzo's many misdeeds over the years, he is still the Hokage's assistant. What a good classmate!

Bai Ye wanted to laugh at Shisui's naive idea.

"Shisui, did you learn the Will of Fire?"

"That's right! Where leaves dance in the air, fire will surely burn!"

Shisui believed that he was quite knowledgeable about the Will of Fire!

"Are you still proud?"

Bai Ye stared at Shisui with a dark expression. So, you seem quite proud of your understanding of the Will of Fire?

"Chieftain, it's me."

Shisui scratched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly, wondering if his unconscious words had angered Bai Ye.

But... he felt he was right?

"Forget it, all I see about Shisui's so-called Will of Fire is two words: pyramid scheme! It's nothing but a scam."

If the Will of Fire had been effective, Hashirama Senju wouldn't have killed his close friend Madara Uchiha, who co-founded the village, with his own hands back at the Valley of the End.

The purpose of its existence was to protect the people in the village, but Hashirama Senju turned around and killed Madara for the sake of the village.

Similarly, if the Will of Fire were effective, then the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, would not have ostracized our Uchiha clan, but would have chosen to accept them.

The third Hokage's version is even more absurd. The primary spirit of the Will of Fire is sacrifice, yet during the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars, the Hokage was behind the scenes strategizing and sending children to the battlefield to protect the village. Isn't that ridiculous?!

The village's leader, Danzo, who was assisting the Hokage, remained hidden in the village while the Nine-Tails' rampage raged, and Danzo, who was assisting the Hokage, led the Root forces to remain inactive.

The fourth generation was quite good, but it's a pity he died too young; otherwise, our Uchiha clan wouldn't have ended up like this with Konoha.

So, Shisui, tell me again, what exactly is the Will of Fire?!

Today, Byakuya is determined to completely shatter all of Shisui's beliefs and create a new Shisui, a Shisui belonging to the Uchiha clan!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 60: Kidnapping Sasuke, Itachi's mentality collapses!

Throughout the entire Will of Fire, all Bai Ye saw was cannibalism.

For children who are not yet adults, their willpower has not been fully developed in various aspects, and they are actually greatly affected.

In fact, according to his speculation, Hashirama Senju's original intention in establishing the Will of Fire was to make all the clans in the village put aside their prejudices and interests, and then break up all the clans and integrate them into Konoha like the Senju clan.

But is this possible?

It's simply impossible!

Therefore, starting with the third generation, the Will of Fire changed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, in the early stages, may have realized that his rule seemed to have aroused dissatisfaction among many people. He chose to abdicate and hand over power to the commoner ninja Minato Namikaze, but he was reluctant to give it all away and still kept control of the Anbu.

When he came to power for the second time, the Will of Fire became nothing more than a tool for him to rule the village.

"Chief Baiye, isn't our village here only able to survive because it has always been permeated by the Will of Fire? And isn't it also because of the Will of Fire that it has been able to maintain its status as the number one ninja village?"

A bitter smile flashed across Zhishui's face as he tried to refute Baiye, but he couldn't find any points to refute. He could only bring up these vague and unrelated things to debate with Baiye.

He wasn't defending others, but defending his own convictions over the years.

"What truly made the village number one wasn't the so-called Will of Fire, but people like you and me who worked for the village, commoner ninjas, clan ninjas, and all the villagers—it was all earned through their hard work. If a single will could make the village stronger, then everyone would just stop training and focus on strengthening their own will. Why bother with training at all? Shisui, the Will of Fire has long since changed in their hands. Can't you see what's happened over the years? The Uchiha and them have reached a point where they are irreconcilable enemies!"

The peace of the village was achieved through the sacrifices of others.

If they had all fought in the Fourth Shinobi World War, then Byakuya would have no reason to do so. Danzo was alright, at least he went to the battlefield to command, but Hiruzen Sarutobi was simply left behind.

Over the years, the ones who have suffered the most are always the clan ninjas.

Haven't the Uchiha clan sacrificed a lot over the years?

Why is it that sacrifices don't bring the rewards we deserve?

Do you know why the Uchiha clan has always wanted a Hokage to appear in their ranks?

Bai Ye raised his head and looked at Zhi Shui, asking a question.

"why?"

Shisui was somewhat puzzled. In fact, everyone knew that it might be very difficult for the Uchiha clan to produce a Hokage.

However, it seems that there has always been an inexplicable obsession within the clan with the position of Hokage.

Even though the radicals kept shouting about rebellion, their slogan was to overthrow the current Hokage and become Hokage themselves, not to talk about the entire Uchiha rebellion and an endless war with Konoha.

"Because we have made sacrifices but have not received the results we want, the Uchiha clan has not been able to participate in decision-making for so many years. The clan members believe that since we have sacrificed so much, we should receive some of the treatment we should have received in the first place. However, this treatment has not only not improved, but has even deteriorated."

Over the years, we have sacrificed the most in wars and received the least, or even nothing at all. On the contrary, small and medium-sized families such as Sarutobi, Shimura, Mito, and Utatane have been able to receive a lot of benefits every time because they have a Hokage and a council of elders, but their contributions are pitifully small. Do you think this is fair?

We Uchiha demand fairness, the absolute fairness of the world!

If we can't even get fairness, what else is there to talk about?

Bai Ye stood up and pointed outside: "Zhi Shui, come with me to the clan's territory."

He knew he had said most of what he could say clearly.
