257 Shisui Has No Choice

"Come in." Hearing the knock on the door, Nagasawa said while dealing with the documents.

Because he gave Shisui a long vacation, his workload increased.

He did give some to Ensui, but it was too embarrassing to give it all to Ensui.

After obtaining Nagasawa's permission, Shisui walked into the office.

Nagasawa looked up and was surprised to see that it was Shisui. He said, "Didn't I tell you to rest? Why are you here? Do you want me to give you two months suspension?"

Shisui quickly shook his head and said, "I'm not here to work. I want to talk to you about my Mangekyō Sharingan."

Shisui felt that his Mangekyō Sharingan ability was really dangerous. He needed to tell Nagasawa his ability.

In fact, he should have told Nagasawa when they were in Starfall Valley.

However, his mind was in a mess at that time, and Nagasawa was in a hurry too, so he had no chance to tell him.

So here he was now.

"Oh, so it's about Mangekyō Sharingan. At least you are not here to work." Nagasawa was also a little speechless as everyone was thinking of how to get a day off while Shisui still came to work even after Nagasawa told him to rest.

Nagasawa did not ask Shisui about his Mangekyō Sharingan as he already knew about it.

However, Nagasawa was happy that Shisui personally came to tell him about his ability, which showed that Shisui trusted him very much.

Otherwise, Shisui would not come all the way here to tell him about the ability of his Mangekyō Sharingan. After all, it was common for Shinobi to keep their ability a secret.

After all, information played a crucial aspect in a fight.

"My ability is called Kotoamatsukami. The ability of both eyes is the same. It allows me to enter the mind of any individual within my field of view and manipulate them by giving them false experiences without them realizing they're being manipulated. "

When Shisui mentioned his ability, his expression became serious. He also carefully observed Nagasawa's expression.

"Hmm, it's pretty good. It's a very strong ability." Nagasawa praised.

"You don't seem to be very surprised. Don't you think that this technique is very dangerous?" Nagasawa's reaction was nothing like Shisui's expectations.

He thought that Nagasawa would be shocked and even be wary of this ability, but Nagasawa was unusually calm, as if his new ability was to produce a bowl of rice instead of manipulating a person without them realizing.

"That technique is indeed very dangerous, but I'm relieved that you're the one who have it. I believe that you will use this technique cautiously." Nagasawa smiled.

Nagasawa had long known about Kotoamatsukami, so he was naturally not too surprised.

Moreover, judging from Shisui's personality in the manga, Shisui never thought of using Kotoamatsukami to manipulate Konoha's higher-ups.

The current situation was much better than in the manga, so it was even less likely for Shisui to use Kotoamatsukami to manipulate anyone, so Nagasawa could rest easy.

"Captain Nagasawa..." Shisui did not know what to say now.

He felt like he had used up his entire life's worth of luck to be able to meet a senior like Nagasawa.

"By the way, did you feel anything new when you used Sharingan?" Nagasawa asked.

The Mangekyō Sharingan was certainly powerful, but the side effects were also serious.

In addition, Shisui was still young, so the strain on him was even greater.

"Yes, when I use Susanoo, my eyes are in pain and it puts quite a toll on my body." Shisui replied.

He felt that this was understandable. Mangekyo Sharingan gave him such a tremendous power after all, so it was very normal if it had some side effects on him.

Nagasawa thought for a moment and said, "I have a way to eliminate the side effects of your Mangekyō Sharingan, but it will alter your body to a certain extent. Are you interested?"

Nagasawa naturally did not want his subordinates to be blind because of Mangekyō Sharingan, so he gave him an option to mitigate Mangekyō Sharingan's side effect.

Implanting Secondart Hashirama Cells would not only increase his strength, but also eliminate Mangekyō Sharingan's side effects. That was the best.

The reason why he didn't talk to Fugaku was because Fugaku was the patriarch of Uchiha Clan. Wasn't it a bit unreasonable to implant Senju Clan's cells into the Uchiha's patriarch?

Moreover, Fugaku didn't use his Mangekyō Sharingan that often.

"Alter my body..." Shisui seemed conflicted. Although eliminating the side effects was a good thing, he still wanted to be a normal human.

Seeing Shisui's expression, Nagasawa knew that Shisui had the wrong idea, so he explained, "I will just implant a certain cell into your body, which will alleviate the side effects of Mangekyō Sharingan. It won't alter your appearance. Kakashi already did that experiment. Don't you think he looks no different than usual? If you have any questions, you can just ask him."

Shisui nodded and left after thanking Nagasawa.

After leaving the office, Shisui was not in a rush to find Kakashi.

He finally got a vacation for once, so he should enjoy it.

Back at Uchiha Clan's base, Shisui went to a bakery to buy a sesame cake.

"Ah, it's Shisui. I haven't seen you in a long time. You must be very busy recently. You came at the right time. This one is fresh from the over. It's delicious!" Uchiha handed the sesame cake to Shisui and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Teyaki-san." Shisui thanked him politely and said, "I am a little busy, but it is okay."

"You should pay attention to your health. Don't force your body too much. It will be troublesome once you get old."

"You should speak for yourself! Shisui is a prodigy and nothing like you." Japonica Uchiha suddenly said jokingly.

"Of course Shisui is powerful. He now even has his own moniker, Shisui of the Body Flicker. It sounds very impressive! When he first came to buy sesame cake in this store, I knew that this child would be a genius in the future. I didn't expect him to be so powerful now." Teyaki Uchiha said proudly.

"Yeah, yeah. Why are you bragging though?" Japonica Uchiha said jokingly.

Seeing that the two of them still got along so well in their elderly age, Shisui smiled and quietly left.

He also hoped to meet a girl who would grow old together with him.

However, the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha has not been resolved yet. Konoha also still needed him , so now is not the time for that.

Shisui ate the freshly baked bread while walking in Uchiha Clan's territory.

The territory of Uchiha was no different from the ordinary residential area of ​​Konoha.

Some children who were on vacation were playing on the empty ground and playing Shinobi games.

Some people would sit together and discuss all kinds of trivial matters.

It was no different from Konoha, but there was such a big conflict. This had always been something that bothered Shisui.

But fortunately, everything was going in a good direction now.

As he strolled around, he suddenly remembered that he had not talked to Itachi for a while.

Itachi was a junior that he placed high hopes in. Although he was very young, he wasn't influenced by the Clan's narrow-minded doctrine, and he was also quite talented.

Shisui had always treated Itachi as his own younger brother. He hoped that Itachi could help him resolve the conflict between Uchiha and the village in the future.

However, he did not have time to talk to Itachi because he was really busy recently.

Thinking of this, Shisui no longer hesitated and went straight to Itachi's house.

He had to go and see how the Itachi has grown. Has he learned any new skills? Did he need his help?

But when Shisui arrived at the Itachi's home, he did not see anyone. He only saw the Itachi's mother, Mikoto Uchiha, and Itachi's younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha.

"Itachi is out for his training, it's the small river he often goes to." Uchiha Mikoto said to Shisui.

Shisui nodded and thanked her. He had been there before, so he knew the way.

"Are you looking for big bro? Can you tell him to go home early? I'm a little bored." Sasuke looked at Shisui expectantly.

Mikoto gently tapped Sasuke on the head.

"Sasuke, you're being rude. You have to call him Brother Shisui. He is a genius in the clan, a very powerful Shinobi. Even Itachi respects Shisui very much."

"Is he that strong? Then you must be able to bring my big bro back." Unexpectedly, Sasuke became even more excited.

Shisui smiled and ruffled Sasuke's hair, "I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee it."

Hearing Shisui say that he couldn't guarantee it, Sasuke was instantly unhappy. He immediately ran behind his mother.

Shisui didn't care. He just smiled and left.

When Shisui arrived at the remote river that Itachi often went to, he found that Itachi was not the only one there. There was another person who was fighting with Itachi.

Because the two of them were about the same age, Shisui did not think that it was a spy, and neither did Shisui think that Itachi was in danger.

Shisui deliberately hid his presence and quietly approached them.

Although the two of them seemed to be very young, they were clearly beyond Genin's level.

The two of them fought back and forth. Itachi attacked with Fire Release, and his opponent used Water Release to defend, Itachi threw Shuriken, and his opponent charged with his sword.

Finally, after a fierce battle, the two of them stopped to catch their breath.

That was when Shisui approached them.

Hearing the footsteps, the two of them looked towards the source of the sound.

When Itachi saw that it was Shisui, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Shisui, why are you here?"

"I saw how your training. It looked pretty good and you've improved a lot compared to before." Shisui praised.

"Is this Kabuto Yakushi you often mention?" Shisui asked.

"Yes." Itachi nodded and introduced, "He is Kabuto."

Itachi theb introduced Shisui to Kabuto, "He is Uchiha Shisui, a senior in my Clan. He is very strong and we have a lot in common."

"Nice to meet you, Shisui-senpai." Kabuto greeted him politely.

"Yes. Itachi has mentioned you to me before. You are as outstanding as he said," Shisui said with a smile.

"Oh, Itachi? What did he say about me?" Kabuto asked curiously.

He was a little curious about what Itachi thought of him.

"He thinks highly of you as he says that you're ambitious and are very talented." Shisui said as he recalled his conversation with Itachi that day.

"I am not that good. Itachi is even more outstanding. He is younger than me, but he can fight me to a draw."

Kabuto was a little shy when he heard Shisui praising him.

"No, I am just telling the truth. You are more than amazing. Although you are older than me, you started your training later than me."

When Itachi noticed that Kabuto was being modest and praised him instead, he could not help but praise him.

The two of them praised each other.

Seeing this interesting scene, Shisui couldn't help but laugh. He said, "You two don't have to fight. You both are very good. You are all the future of Konoha."

"Shisui, are you on a break? Normally, I can't find you at this time." Itachi asked curiously.

Ever since Shisui said that he had joined a secret division, Shisui had been so busy that he never seen him.

He would only be able to see Shisui when Shisui came looking for him.

"Yes, I happen to get a long vacation. This time, I'll be on a break for 20 days." Shisui nodded helplessly.

"Is it not good to have a holiday?" Itachi couldn't help but asked when he noticed Shisui's expression.

Although he was not that interested in holiday, generally speaking, a holiday should be a good thing.

Shisui had been working for so hard, so he should take a good rest. It was very reasonable.

"It's okay, but there are some things that I can't just let go of." Shisui quickly adjusted his expression.

"Right, I remember that you once said that you have a senpai called Nagasawa. Is he the current Hokage Assistant?" Itachi suddenly said.

Shisui nodded and said, "That's right, Nagasawa-senpai also serves as Hokage Assistant."

Nagasawa's role in Anbu's training team couldn't be spread around, but him being a Hokage Assistant was a public knowledge, so it was fine.

"What a coincidence! Kabuto is Nagasawa-san's brother. He is now living with Nagasawa-san."

"Nagasawa-san's brother?" Shisui was a little surprised.

He did not know that Nagasawa had a younger brother.

However, that might explain why Kabuto was a genius.

"Brother Nagasawa is indeed my brother, but we are not related by blood." Kabuto was afraid that Shisui would misunderstand, so he explained.

"You don't have to explain this." Shisui smiled. "This is the privacy between you and Senior Nagasawa. You don't have to tell anyone else."

"I'm really looking forward to meeting Nagasawa-san. Many people in the village say that he is very powerful. Shisui also admires him so much."

Itachi had always wanted to meet with Nagasawa and ask him some questions, but he never had the chance.

The last time he went to Kabuto's house, Nagasawa just happened to go to the battlefield.

"At this time, Brother Nagasawa is probably not at home. Otherwise, I can take you there." Kabuto said as he scratched his head.

Actually he did not want to take Itachi to see Nagasawa because he was afraid that Itachi's dream would shatter when he saw the real Nagasawa.

Because the Hokage Assistant that he respected was not as amazing as he imagined.

"It's okay. I believe that I will have the chance eventually." Itachi expressed that he was very patient.

Indeed, there would always be a chance. After all, they were all Shinobi.

Itachi himself had already run into Nagasawa twice. It was just he didn't realize it was Nagasawa.
