Chapter:13

Uchiha Family Residence

Two young boys, one tall and one short, returned from outside the village and walked into the Uchiha family residence.

The tall boy had a forehead protector on his head and wore a green jonin vest. He had short hair and a prominent round nose. There was a sword on his back.

The slightly shorter boy also wore a forehead protector. He was dressed in black clothes underneath and a grey vest over them. He had slightly long medium-length hair, handsome features, and bore a vague resemblance to Uchiha Fugaku.

These two were Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, who had just returned from a mission.

"Shisui."

"Itachi."

Along the way, the Uchiha clan members greeted the two geniuses warmly, proud that their family had produced such exceptional talents. Little did they know, these two were actually ungrateful wolves.

One was brainwashed by the Third Hokage and had become a diehard fan of him, attempting to control his clan members with Kotoamatsukami. In the future, he would kill his fellow clansmen and even his parents, destroying the Uchiha clan, and becoming the culprit behind its downfall.

"Chief!"

"Father!"

The two arrived at the patriarch's residence in the center of the Uchiha family, greeted Uchiha Fugaku, and spoke to him respectfully.

"Well, you two have completed your mission and returned?" Uchiha Fugaku said, his voice calm but a murderous intent lingering in his heart.

It was these two ungrateful people who led to the ultimate destruction of the Uchiha family and brought him to the crisis of death. If possible, he wanted to eliminate them now to prevent future troubles.

However, reason told him that he could not do so. If he wanted to obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he must wait for Uchiha Itachi to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan. Moreover, Uchiha Shisui had likely already awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan.

The opponent also possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, so he was not confident of defeating him. Moreover, the opponent's pupil technique, Kotoamatsukami, made him extremely wary. This eye technique could permanently change one's will and be activated without the need for eye contact.

"Yes, we just came back from a mission," the two replied.

In reality, their mission was not yet completed; they were urgently recalled by the Third Hokage, and their mission was handed over to other Anbu ninjas. However, they would not reveal this to Uchiha Fugaku.

Although they were members of the Uchiha clan, they had already distanced themselves from the clan in their hearts, believing they had attained a "height" and "foresight" that surpassed that of the clan. To them, clan members like Uchiha Fugaku, who always prioritized family interests, lacked vision and magnanimity.

"I think you are tired. Go and have a rest," Uchiha Fugaku said, dismissing them after a few words, out of sight, out of mind.

"Yes," the two responded and left without separating because they had to report to the Third Hokage later.

After they left, Uchiha Fugaku stood in the yard, his face calm, but his mind racing. The return of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi made him feel uneasy.

Uchiha Itachi had not yet awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan and posed no threat to him, but Uchiha Shisui was different. The eye technique of Kotoamatsukami, which could permanently modify one's will, was a "Sword of Damocles" hanging over his head.

He didn't want his will to be tampered with. If that happened, he would no longer be himself but just a puppet.

"How can I avoid having my will modified by Kotoamatsukami?" Uchiha Fugaku pondered.

If he wanted to avoid having his will modified by Kotoamatsukami, the best way was to kill Uchiha Shisui, who possessed Kotoamatsukami, and then destroy or take control of his eyes.

However, as the owner of the Mangekyō Sharingan, he was not confident of defeating and killing Uchiha Shisui. Even if it was a sneak attack, he had no confidence in killing Uchiha Shisui.

Even Danzo Shimura, with his well-prepared and fully mobilized Root, could not kill Uchiha Shisui. If it were him, the result would probably be the same. Not to mention his own strength and power were not as great as Danzo Shimura's.

As an unpopular clan leader, only a very small number of people in the Uchiha clan were absolutely loyal to him.

"The method of killing Uchiha Shisui doesn't work, so the only thing I can do is make myself able to resist Kotoamatsukami!" Uchiha Fugaku thought.

Although Kotoamatsukami was a terrifying and almost unsolvable eye technique, there must be ways to resist and be immune to it. There was no such thing as a truly unsolvable "technique."

Even Uchiha Obito's Kamui had a way to resist, otherwise, he would not have been defeated in the Fourth Ninja World War. He believed that the same must be true for Kotoamatsukami.

"Kotoamatsukami is, after all, an illusion performed with the help of pupil power. As long as the pupil power is strong enough, it should be possible to resist Kotoamatsukami," Uchiha Fugaku thought of the fatal battle between Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi.

During the battle, Uchiha Itachi used the illusion of Tsukuyomi that resided in the Mangekyō on Uchiha Sasuke, but Uchiha Sasuke broke free from the illusion of Tsukuyomi with the power of his eyes.

Although it was because Uchiha Itachi let him go, it also proved that as long as the pupil power is strong enough, it is possible to break free from powerful illusions such as Tsukuyomi.

By analogy, the illusion of Kotoamatsukami could also be resisted, but the prerequisite was to have strong pupil power.

"With the Mangekyō Sharingan, my pupil power is already extremely strong. If I fuse Hashirama's cells and make the Mangekyō Sharingan unrestricted, I should be able to resist Kotoamatsukami!" Uchiha Fugaku's eyes lit up.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very feasible to resist Kotoamatsukami by relying on the powerful power of his pupils. The fusion of Hashirama's cells would allow him to possess a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan with no restrictions on usage.

Although the improvement it brought was not as great as evolving the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, it would definitely bring enhancements to a certain extent and increase the power of the pupil.

As his pupil power increased, his ability to resist illusions like Kotoamatsukami would naturally become stronger, and he would have the ability to resist Kotoamatsukami.

"It seems that the first thing I need to do is obtain a White Zetsu corpse and use it to fuse and obtain Hashirama's cells," Uchiha Fugaku's thoughts became clear, and he had a plan for what to do next.

What was certain was that White Zetsu must exist in the Land of Rain, which was the stronghold of Akatsuki. What he needed to do next was to sneak into the Land of Rain and seize the body of a White Zetsu.

Grumble--

In the sky, chirping sounds were heard. Uchiha Fugaku looked up and saw a carrier hawk circling over the village, screaming. This was the signal for the village to hold a meeting and call together the middle and senior leaders of the village.
