The Nine-Tails' roar was frantic and violent, constantly emanating from the center of the village, causing the entire Hidden Leaf Village to tremble slightly.
However, the Uchiha clan's territory remained eerily quiet.
Inside Uchiha Gen's residence.
A few flickering candlelight dimly illuminated the two young figures sitting opposite each other in the room.
Shisui's expression was unusually serious and gloomy. He stared intently at Uchiha Awakening opposite him, his eyes filled with undisguised vigilance.
Uchiha Gen remained calm and composed throughout, seemingly unconcerned about the enormous disaster that was unfolding outside.
A faint, enigmatic smile flickered in his eyes.
Kakashi vaguely sensed it.
Although on the surface the two seemed to be having a simple conversation...:
In reality, a fierce battle of eye techniques was unfolding.
Shisui's Kotoamatsukami clashes with Uchiha Awakening's eerie power, which can subtly distort others' desires and even manipulate their minds.
Shizuku was starting to feel the strain, and his forehead was covered in a thick layer of cold sweat.
He could clearly sense that, as the eye powers continued to clash, Uchiha Abyss's power was gradually gaining the upper hand.
Yuan sighed softly, breaking the suffocating silence; his voice was low and calm:
"From the moment Kurama appeared, to the moment you rushed to me to question me... Shisui, your actions are truly disheartening."
This statement carries a hint of sarcasm and mockery.
In the very first instant of the Nine-Tails' rampage, Shisui almost instinctively pointed the finger of suspicion at Uchiha Abe.
According to his logic...
In the entire village, only Yuan possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan and has the intention to do this.
The Nine-Tails' rampage was clearly the result of being controlled by the powerful Sharingan eye power.
"Wasn't the reason I awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan because of your deliberate verbal provocation?"
Shisui finally spoke slowly, his voice tinged with suppressed emotion.
"Your twisted sense of humor is terrifying..."
Shisui was able to activate the kaleidoscope precisely because Yuan deliberately provoked and challenged him repeatedly, bringing him immense mental pressure.
It wasn't until they were forced to use Kotoamatsukami that the conflict between the two gradually evolved into the situation they are in today.
According to the original story, Shisui already possessed the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan almost as early as the Nine-Tails Night period.
However, only a small number of the clansmen know about this.
And the Hokage, whom he respected most.
Yuan, however, smiled gently, his tone calm and composed:
"Don't joke around, Shisui. Didn't you also use Kotoamatsukami to influence me back?"
"It's all the power that unlocks the kaleidoscope... We've been holding each other back for many years."
There was no anger in Yuan's words, as if he were recounting an ordinary little thing, but Shisui's heart grew heavier and heavier.
The feud between the two has been going on for quite some time.
Yuan suddenly turned his head, looked towards the village outside the window, and said in a low voice:
"But have you ever wondered why, given the village's current situation, they haven't yet requested support from the Uchiha clan?"
"Third Hokage, I'm not entirely sure if your Sharingan is capable of dealing with the Nine-Tails?"
Yuan's voice was calm yet full of sarcasm, as if he had already seen through everything.
Bi Jing Zhishui...:
Upon hearing this, Shisui frowned, the pressure in his heart gradually becoming heavier.
The meaning behind Uchiha Gen's words is that, over the years, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha leadership has gradually fallen into a delicate and unspeakable state.
At that moment, Uchiha Gen seemed completely unconcerned about Shisui's reaction.
I gently poured myself a cup of tea, leisurely picked up the teacup, and slowly took a sip.
He appeared calm and composed, as if none of this concerned him, and seemed exceptionally relaxed.
Shisui, however, felt as if a huge, invisible mountain was pressing down on his chest, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe.
Inside the room, the air was so heavy it seemed to have frozen solid, with only the furious roar of the Nine-Tails echoing across the Uchiha clan's territory in the distance.
Shisui's expression was extremely solemn, and he questioned Uchiha Gen in a cold and wary tone:
"Yuan, what exactly do you want to do?"
Uchiha Gen suddenly chuckled, slowly stood up, and leisurely took a step closer to Shisui.
"Shisui, how about we make a bet?"
Upon hearing this, Shisui's wariness became even more pronounced: "A bet?"
Uchiha Gen completely ignored Shisui's defensiveness and continued speaking in a relaxed and nonchalant tone...:
"If one day you can't help but tell the higher-ups of Konoha about the true power of Kotoamatsukami, then you will surely die within three days."
"He'll definitely die within three days?"
"Your spellcasting can even encompass curses and contracts like this?"
Yuan remained calmly smiling, as if it were just a casual joke. He gently shook his head: "Don't try to probe my kaleidoscope ability anymore."
"I just think... if you really die over something so trivial, wouldn't your so-called noble wish to protect peace seem utterly ridiculous?"
"Uchiha Abyss, that day will never come."
At this moment, Shisui's tone became somewhat arrogant.
It even carries a strong sense of self-confidence.
These are all situations that Shisui himself did not notice.
"As long as I live, I will continuously use my Kotoamatsukami to firmly suppress your madness and twisted nature!"
Their eyes clashed violently in the air, their kaleidoscope-like pupil powers silently exchanging blows!
Like countless tiny yet sharp blades, they fiercely probe and intertwine with each other.
Every moment of confrontation forced them to rapidly enhance their mental strength and visual power.
Shisui became increasingly obsessed with his kaleidoscope power, and even lost the will to discuss things with others.
In the past, he would sometimes chat with Itachi Uchiha, but now Shisui only believes that his Mangekyou Sharingan power can suppress Uchiha Abe.
This terrifying and dangerous individual is hiding within the Uchiha clan's territory.
At this moment, Shisui's gaze turned to the window again, to the Nine-Tailed Fox that was still rampaging wildly in the heart of Konoha.
He made up his mind.
Even without orders from the Konoha leadership, he was determined to go out and stop the Nine-Tails.
Because he possesses the power of a kaleidoscope!
Zhi Shui resolutely turned around and strode out of the room.
Uchiha Gen did not stop him, but simply stood quietly in place, watching Shisui's departing figure with great interest.
Only after Shisui had completely disappeared from his sight did he suddenly burst into a near-manic laugh:
"Hahahahaha!"
His laughter was manic and unrestrained, radiating an indescribable excitement and madness:
"How amusing! There's actually this kind of foolish sentimentality—sacrificing oneself for the village...!"
"It's so great it makes me want to laugh! Hahahaha..."
Amidst this maniacal laughter, Uchiha Gen's Mangekyou Sharingan power surged once more.
If Shisui hadn't relentlessly suppressed Uchiha Gen with Kotoamatsukami over the years, his eye power wouldn't have increased so rapidly.
"However... I sincerely hope you continue living, otherwise this world is incredibly boring... so boring it's disgusting and makes you want to die."
Uchiha Gen's voice gradually faded into the room.
Kakashi's consciousness remained silently standing in the dark and quiet corner of the Uchiha clan's territory.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, breaking the silence: "Kakashi..."
Kakashi was startled by what he heard and instinctively turned around. It was Obito.
Obito looked at Kakashi coldly.
"Surprised? The connection between us exists because of the same pair of Mangekyou Sharingan."
"If you can enter here, so can I. In fact... I have already spent countless lifetimes in this endless cycle of spiritual reincarnation."
Reincarnation has occurred countless times?
Obito offered no further explanation, instead staring at him with a chilling gaze...
"What exactly happened to Uchiha Shisui after that? Don't you want to go out and see for yourself?"
Kakashi frowned upon hearing this, a sense of unease rising within him.
He was well aware, of course, that the tragedy of the Nine-Tails Night was orchestrated by Obito.
But he still instinctively turned his gaze towards the village.
At this time, Konoha was a scene of devastation!
The Nine-Tails' enormous body coiled in the center of the village, and the huge Tailed Beast Ball exploded with a roar, transforming into a terrifying storm of destruction that frantically devoured everything in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
At this critical moment of life and death, a figure resolutely and swiftly sped out from the Uchiha clan's territory.
Wearing a mask and a black battle suit, Shisui stepped into the scene of the Nine-Tails' rampage without hesitation or doubt, and without telling his clansmen a single word.
At the same time, Fugaku led several Uchiha clan members and quickly entered Uchiha Gen's residence.
Upon entering the room, Uchiha Ishiba immediately saw his grandson, Uchiha Gen.
At this moment...
This former subordinate of Madara Uchiha...
A flicker of barely concealed fear and apprehension crossed his eyes, and he even instinctively averted his gaze, not daring to meet Uchiha Gen's eyes. But Fugaku, oblivious to the pillar's unusual behavior, walked straight up to Gen: "Where's Shisui?"
"He went to stop the Nine-Tails."
Uchiha Gen's voice was calm, as if he were stating something insignificant.
"What!?"
Fugaku was shocked to hear this!
"How could Shisui act on his own? The village hasn't issued any support orders yet!"
Uchiha Gen smiled calmly upon hearing this, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.
"Clan leader, do you think I can stop an Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan?"
The moment he uttered those words, he immediately provoked extreme dissatisfaction from several clansmen beside him.
Just as some of them were about to reprimand Uchiha Gen, they suddenly met Gen's eyes in the next second.
In that brief moment, these clansmen were inexplicably gripped by a powerful sense of fear and oppression...
He subconsciously swallowed the words he was about to say.
The stone pillar standing to the side kept its head down, its eyes filled with fear and shock that had completely taken over its heart.
The commotion outside the village cannot overshadow the problems within the Uchiha clan at this moment.
Zhi Shui's unauthorized actions...
And the mysterious Uchiha Abyss...
On the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox, a silent upheaval unfolds.
