Chapter 89: Resurrected Shisui! The Terrifying Kotoamatsukami!  

---

It seemed that Kakashi had already informed Sasuke about the Uchiha clan beforehand.

Nara Shikaku thought to himself.

Given how much Sasuke cares about the Uchiha clan, it was impossible for him not to have any reaction.

The only explanation was that Sasuke was already aware of the situation regarding the Uchiha clan. However, they didn't realize that while Kakashi had found most of the evidence, Sasuke had provided additional details himself. After all, no matter how skilled Kakashi was, he couldn't have gathered such specific information through deduction alone.

Kakashi nodded slightly and then asked the group seriously, "I believe everyone here has heard the name Uchiha Shisui, right?"

"Uchiha Shisui, also known as 'Shisui of the Body Flicker,' was a genius ninja of the Uchiha clan. He mysteriously disappeared before the Uchiha clan massacre, and it was rumored that he had died long ago," Nara Shikaku calmly responded, clearly familiar with Shisui.

In fact, Nara Shikaku had always held Uchiha Shisui in high regard, not only for his strength but also because he lacked the arrogance that characterized other Uchiha clan members. Shisui was like a breath of fresh air within the Uchiha family.

Kakashi looked at Nara Shikaku with appreciation and continued, "That's right, but Uchiha Shisui didn't disappear mysteriously as the rumors suggest. In reality, he was surrounded and killed."

The revelation shocked everyone present.

"Killed? By whom?"

"Who would dare to kill one of our Konoha ninjas?"

Kakashi then dropped the bombshell. "According to inside information, Uchiha Shisui was actually killed by a high-ranking official of Konoha, a follower of the Second Hokage, and the leader of Root—Shimura Danzo!"

The room fell into stunned silence. No one had expected that a high-ranking Konoha official would be responsible for such a heinous act.

Naturally, the group wasn't about to take Kakashi's word for it without proof. They demanded evidence. Kakashi turned to Sasuke, who stepped forward.

"Everyone," Sasuke began, "I once learned a jutsu from the Third Hokage. This jutsu allows us to communicate with the dead."

The people in the room were baffled by Sasuke's statement. Communicate with the dead? What kind of jutsu was this? Some of the Anbu members found it oddly familiar, as though they had seen it recently.

Sasuke clasped his hands together, and suddenly, a coffin emerged from the ground before him. The sight was all too familiar to the Anbu.

"This is the Impure World Reincarnation! The technique to revive the dead!"

"Yes, I remember Orochimaru using it before!"

"But why is Sasuke using it?"

In response to their questions, Sasuke said, "It's possible that the Impure World Reincarnation was originally a jutsu developed by the Second Hokage, and Orochimaru merely stole it."

The Anbu members exchanged awkward smiles, but Nara Shikaku, having pieced things together from their conversation, already understood the nature of the jutsu. It was likely a ninjutsu that temporarily resurrected the dead. Coupled with Kakashi's mention of evidence, the answer became obvious. The person they were planning to resurrect was...

"Uchiha Shisui, say hello to everyone!" Sasuke said.

The coffin in front of him fell open, and a man stepped out. He had short black hair, but what stood out most was the constantly spinning Sharingan in his eye sockets.

"Long time no see. I am Uchiha Shisui. I believe you are familiar with me," Shisui greeted, his voice filled with emotion. He hadn't expected so many things to have happened after his death—the Uchiha clan's massacre, Itachi's defection, the Third Hokage's death, and the downfall of Konoha's high-ranking officials. All of it astonished him.

But when he learned that the Uchiha clan had been exterminated by Itachi, who had inherited his will, he nearly choked with disbelief. 'Good grief,' he thought. 'I asked you to protect the village and the Uchiha name, and you really only protected the name, didn't you?' 'I just asked you to stop the rebellion, but you went and wiped out the entire clan! Don't ever say you inherited my will again—I can't handle the embarrassment!'

Sasuke, too, had been conflicted about resurrecting Shisui. After all, Shisui had been loyal to Konoha's higher-ups when he was alive. Despite his formidable abilities, he couldn't defeat Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, which was a disgrace to the Mangekyō Sharingan. However, Sasuke ultimately decided to revive Shisui because he could control him directly. No amount of evidence would be as convincing as hearing it from the person himself.

To resurrect Uchiha Shisui, Sasuke had even sacrificed Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan that he had in his possession. But when he saw the Mangekyō Sharingan in Shisui's eye sockets, his dissatisfaction vanished. 'Good grief! I used a Mangekyō Sharingan and got a fully formed pair of Sharingan in return! Does this mean I can mass-produce them?'

Unfortunately, his idea was short-lived. Although the resurrected Shisui had the Sharingan, they couldn't be removed. If someone tried to take them, they would vanish immediately. This seemed to be a limitation of the Impure World Reincarnation. Sasuke wasn't sure if the same would be true after a true resurrection.

The others were equally amazed to see Uchiha Shisui resurrected.

"Uchiha Shisui? How is he here?"

"But wasn't he already dead?"

"Is this the power of the Impure World Reincarnation?"

"Does this mean Uchiha Sasuke really resurrected Uchiha Shisui?"

"This power is incredible!"

Uchiha Shisui continued, "Yes, I was indeed resurrected by Sasuke. And this time, I am here to reveal the truth. The truth about my murder."

"My Mangekyō Sharingan has the power of Kotoamatsukami. This ability has a single purpose: to change a person's mind without them realizing it."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Shisui in fear. The ability to alter someone's mind without them knowing—this level of genjutsu was terrifying!

Ignoring their fearful looks, Shisui continued, "But when I revealed my ability to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, I was met not with trust, but with betrayal!"
