Chapter 306: Shisui's Loss

Unlike Shisui's expression of disbelief, Yu remained calm inwardly. Despite the formidable nature of Susanoo, it did not mean it was invincible.

If it were Uchiha Madara in his Six Paths form unleashing this Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang, its power could even break through Naruto Uzumaki's Yin-Yang Release: Black Rod created after inheriting Six Paths Senjutsu.

Therefore, with Yu's current strength in Sage Mode, fully deploying this Senjutsu technique easily cut through Shisui's third form Susanoo.

"Oh no..."

Caught off guard as Yu's Senjutsu sliced through the Susanoo created by Mangekyo Sharingan, Shisui suddenly realized his entire body was pulled out from the shattered Susanoo by Yu's five blue Chakra Threads, sensing impending danger.

"Let me wake you up properly!!"

After pulling Shisui out from the sliced Susanoo with the Chakra Threads controlling Puppetry, Yu angrily delivered a fierce punch to his face as Shisui flew uncontrollably towards him.

There was no technique, no fancy move; just Yu's raw anger embodied in a punch.

However, empowered by Sage Mode and the second stage of Armament Haki, this straightforward punch packed terrifying force, fully unleashing its power on Shisui's cheek.

Puh!!

Even before Shisui, brought before Yu by the Chakra Threads after Yu had split open the invincible Susanoo with Senjutsu, could react, his face was struck by Yu's furious punch.

Blood sprayed from his mouth, and he was sent flying like an arrow of light, somersaulting dozens of times across the ground. He carved out a trench over twenty meters long before finally slumping to the ground.

"Now... do you still intend to take me back to Konoha?"

A gentle breeze of wind swept through, and with his entire body cloaked in black with white fragmented hair pointing to the sky, Yu, with intricate dark purple Sage facial patterns reminiscent of a Devil, instantly appeared before Shisui. His gaze was incredibly complex as he looked at his best friend in Konoha.

"I've lost..."

Upon hearing Yu's words, Shisui lying on the ground seemed to lose all strength in his body. His unfocused eyes stared at the sky, and with some difficulty, he spoke, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

He never imagined that even after exerting the ultimate power of the Uchiha Clan, he still wasn't a match. How far had his strength reached?

"Is it worth it to go to such lengths for Konoha?"

Looking at the disheveled Shisui in front of him, Yu's expression was complex. He questioned himself whether he could ever match Shisui's level of dedication to Konoha.

Sunshine, cheerfulness, gentleness, exceptional talent, and extraordinary strength—Shisui had it all. The only fatal flaw, just like his grandfather Uchiha Kagami, was being too loyal to Konoha.

Both success and failure were defined by Shisui. The so-called Will of Fire shaped his unique charisma but also destined him for tragedy.

In the anime, Shisui sacrificed everything for Konoha. If not for his unwavering loyalty, Danzo would never have had the opportunity to use Izanagi to successfully steal one of his Sharingan, considering his strength.

Even after losing his right eye to Danzo, Shisui's plan to use Kotoamatsukami to change his clan members' thoughts of rebellion was thwarted. Therefore, he resolutely entrusted his left eye to Itachi and took his own life by throwing himself into the river to strike a blow to the morale of the Uchiha Clan and delay their plans for revolt.

Yu finds it truly difficult to imagine someone loving their village and comrades to such an extent. If Konoha owes anyone the title of Hokage, Yu believes it would be Shisui, along with Itachi, who chose to eliminate his entire clan for the sake of Konoha.

Cough...

Ignoring Yu's complex expression, Shisui trembled as he slowly supported his body and stood up.

"I never imagined even Susanoo isn't your match..."

Shisui finally managed to stand before Yu, but he was so weak that it seemed a gust of wind could knock him down.

"I'm sorry, Yu. I have to use that jutsu..."

"I must bring you back to Konoha... I must..."

In the intense battle just now, the continuous use of Susanoo combined with Kotoamatsukami: Beams of Light, an ultimate-level Dojutsu of Mangekyo Sharingan, severely depleted Shisui's chakra and stamina, making his voice sound blurred and unclear.

"Are you insane?! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"

"You'll go blind if you keep this up!!"

Seeing Shisui activate his Mangekyo Sharingan once again, Yu felt an indescribable shock.

Kotoamatsukami, harbored within Shisui's left Mangekyo Sharingan—a Dojutsu that can forcibly and permanently alter someone's will and thoughts without needing direct eye contact, turning them into his puppet.

If we were to list some of the most insane abilities in the entire Naruto world, Kotoamatsukami, this BUG-level ability, would definitely be at the top, even ranking above Kamui.

"Don't be foolish, Shisui!!"

"I won't return to Konoha with you!!"

No one knows how Shisui would alter his own will and thoughts, so Yu absolutely couldn't allow himself to fall under the influence of a Genjutsu like Kotoamatsukami.

The black Tomoe in Shisui's left Mangekyo Sharingan spun wildly in its quadruple windmill shape. Seeing Kotoamatsukami about to activate, under this threat more oppressive than death itself, Yu immediately used Puppet Substitution to instantly teleport Tyrant in front of himself.

Yin Healing Wound Blast!!

Immediately after swapping places with Yu, Tyrant fully utilized the abilities of the Paw Fruit within its body. Raising its hand, it unleashed a massive round pale red bear-palm shockwave that brutally pierced through Shisui's body in front of him!

Mangekyo Sharingan: Kotoamatsukami!!

Almost simultaneously, the Dojutsu in Shisui's left Mangekyo Sharingan also instantly erupted. If not for Senju Hashirama's Wood Release cells, this strongest Genjutsu with a high cooldown time would have the power to permanently and completely change a person's thoughts and will!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Suddenly, a light breeze swept through, stirring up the fallen leaves between Yu and Shisui.

The entire moonlit grassland fell into silent stillness, as if everyone present had turned into soulless statues, or as if nothing had happened at all.

"I... I failed?!"

After a long while, Shisui, wearing an expression of disbelief, finally spoke in confusion. His eerie blood-red Mangekyo Sharingan returned to its ordinary black eyes.

"What... what just happened?"

"My Mangekyo Sharingan... why can't I use my Chakra..."

Shisui widened his black eyes, looking at Yu with incomprehension. He realized he couldn't muster even a bit of Chakra, couldn't activate any Ninjutsu, including his Sharingan.

"This is Tyrant's unique ability..."

"Just now, at the moment you activated Kotoamatsukami, I used my Puppetery to completely expel the little Chakra you had left in your body."

"Without Chakra, a ninja can't do anything... Right now, you... probably can't even use the basic Sharingan," Yu calmly explained, looking at Shisui's expression full of disbelief.

With his foot now stepping into the awakening realm of the Devil Fruit, Tyrant's Yin Healing Wound Blast not only works on himself, dispelling injuries, pain, and fatigue from his body.

It can also affect opponents, expelling Chakra and stamina from them, even dispelling positive states like joy, happiness, and excitement, leaving opponents in an extremely negative and despondent state.
