"Can you undo your own ability?"
"What do you mean, senpai?"
"Can you use your other Mangekyō Sharingan to undo the genjutsu cast by one of your Mangekyō?"
Kiyosuke asked.
Shisui said, "I can, but only if we make eye contact. After all, it's my own Mangekyō. When it comes to genjutsu, I don't think there's any weakness."
Relieved by Shisui's affirmative answer, Kiyosuke let out a breath. The key now was how to find that idiot Obito.
Shisui asked, "Senpai, someone wants to use my Mangekyō to control a person and make them do evil things."
"That's probably true. Shisui, keep this matter to yourself. I'll find a way to handle it. Also, don't show your Mangekyō to the Konoha higher-ups. They are disciples of the Second Hokage and very wary of the Uchiha clan. If you awaken your Mangekyō Sharingan, they'll be restless, unable to eat or sleep."
The village leaders feared the Uchiha clan's power because they were disciples of the Second Hokage. They knew well the strength and terror of Uchiha Madara.
Even as children, they had been scared by the image of Madara, with the Nine-Tails, slaughtering his way back to Konoha. That fear left an indelible mark on them.
Plus, the Second Hokage's teachings kept them cautious of the Uchiha.
"But my ancestor and the Hokage-sama were comrades," the young Shisui said, though mature, still holding some childlike innocence.
Kiyosuke scoffed, breaking his innocence.
"You mean Uchiha Kagami? He died when he was barely in his twenties. Did your father receive any favor or important post? No, right? Hokage-sama is now in his fifties or sixties, and your ancestor has been dead for decades. Taking care of you is more about tradition. Your ability is too dangerous, especially since the village still hosts a Tailed Beast. So... hey."
To protect the village, whether children, brothers, or comrades, anyone who threatened Konoha would not be spared...
The power of the Mangekyō Sharingan was terrifying, well-known to the village leaders. It could control a Tailed Beast.
If Shisui revealed his Mangekyō and its abilities, Danzo would be the first to come after him, followed by Hiruzen Sarutobi...
After hearing Kiyosuke's words, Shisui felt a chill throughout his body. He felt ill.
Murmuring, "No... that can't be...?"
"It can. Don't underestimate the old fools in the village, Shisui. Hide your abilities well. You can be a genius, but you absolutely can't be a genius who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Kiyosuke patted Shisui on the shoulder.
Shisui nodded with complexity, saying, "I understand, Kiyosuke-senpai."
Having understood the reasoning, Shisui knew Kiyosuke's meaning. It was extremely troublesome. He definitely could not reveal his Mangekyō to the village leaders. Otherwise, something bad would surely happen.
He asked, "Kiyosuke-senpai, that guy called Black Zetsu, who took my eye—who does he want to control?"
"You'll know in time, Shisui. Until then, protect yourself. Watch out for Danzo."
"I understand."
"Good. Go back now."
...
At the same time, somewhere in the Land of Grass—
Uchiha Madara sat on a rock, his withered hands tightly gripping a scythe.
In front of him lay Obito, unconscious, his limbs repaired.
A pitch-black liquid crawled out of the ground and attached itself to White Zetsu's body, transforming it into a half-black, half-white abomination.
With a hoarse voice, it said, "Madara-sama, I've taken Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan, but that brat is difficult to handle. I only managed to get one eye."
"Which eye?"
"Left eye."
"Good."
Black Zetsu opened his hand, and a bloodstained Sharingan rested quietly on his palm.
Madara grabbed it and placed it into his empty left eye socket, immediately using medical ninjutsu to heal the eye and connect it to his retina.
His left eye twitched and locked on.
He opened it to reveal a blood-red, three-tomoe Sharingan.
The three tomoe spun rapidly around the pupil, then merged into a pinwheel-shaped Mangekyō Sharingan.
"A powerful ability, though limited by time. But it should be fine to use for controlling Obito."
As he spoke, Madara formed hand signs.
"Kotoamatsukami!"
Kotoamatsukami—the strongest genjutsu!
Under its influence, the previously sleeping Obito frowned.
Cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
A White Zetsu appeared, disguised as Rin... no, a figure very similar to Rin, with a bloody hole in its chest, lying beside Obito.
"Rin!!!"
Obito suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
He saw Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu—and Rin beside him.
He hugged the White Zetsu, so similar to Rin, and cried loudly.
The two-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes spun quickly, merging into the Mangekyō Sharingan pattern.
The "corpse" of "Rin" passed right through his body and fell to the ground.
"Rin!!!"
He shouted as a furious chakra burst from within him.
Madara grabbed him and glared.
He used genjutsu to make Obito lose consciousness immediately.
"Good. I have altered the image of Nohara Rin and re-edited his memories. Next is the indoctrination process."
Using Kotoamatsukami, Madara brainwashed Obito.
He changed the image of Rin in Obito's memory to someone else.
Then, he added scenes of Kakashi and Kiyosuke together killing Rin, turning Obito into someone who despised Konoha and hated the world...
In short, false memories were added!
Madara smiled, proud of his cunning.
Black Zetsu smiled, equally proud.
...
At the same time, back at the Konoha camp—
Kakashi was about to eat when suddenly his left eye erupted with an immensely strong chakra that surged into his brain.
Unable to withstand the overwhelming power, he fainted and collapsed.
Passing Konoha ninjas found him and sent him to the medical unit.
Upon hearing of Kakashi's collapse, Kiyosuke arrived with Asuma and Kurenai.
Frowning, Kiyosuke asked the medical ninja treating him, "Doctor, what's the situation? Is it chakra exhaustion?"
The medical ninja shook their head.
"No. His chakra isn't abundant enough for him to faint. We're investigating the exact cause. But don't worry, it's nothing serious. He'll wake up soon."
"I understand. Please take good care of him."
Knowing Kakashi was okay, they left to meet Orochimaru for their mission.
Konoha was about to retreat.
The battle with Kirigakure was nearing its end.
Next, Kiyosuke and the others would return to Konoha.
