Inside the Secret Laboratory.
Shinji passed through the testing area and went directly into the underground training ground next door.
This dimly lit underground training ground always helped him calm down quickly. While walking towards the center of the training ground, he took out the small nutrient canister containing Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan from the ninja tool pouch at his waist.
Arriving at the center and sitting cross-legged, Shinji held up the small nutrient canister in his hand. Under the faint light source in the training ground, he carefully looked at the Mangekyo Sharingan containing 'Kotoamatsukami' floating in the nutrient solution inside.
"The ultimate genjutsu that can change consciousness..."
Thinking of the fate of this Sharingan's owner, Shinji couldn't help but sigh softly.
Awakening 'Kotoamatsukami' was simply a curse for a gentle person like Shisui. It not only gave Shisui responsibilities that shouldn't belong to him but also made him a target of public criticism.
Shinji even maliciously speculated that the Third Hokage and even the entire advisory council should have known that Danzo was going to attack Shisui, but they didn't intervene.
Because 'Kotoamatsukami' really made people feel like there was a thorn in their back!
Shinji opened the seal of the small nutrient canister and whispered: "With only one, I wonder if I can control it normally?"
While taking Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan out of the small nutrient canister, Shinji activated 'Susanoo'.
Instantly, a golden half-body armored giant appeared in the underground training ground, dispelling the surrounding gloom.
Unlike others' 'Susanoo', under the face mask of Shinji's golden 'Susanoo', there were four pairs of neatly arranged eye sockets.
This was the effect after Shinji activated the 'Six-Tomoe Rinnegan', causing his 'Susanoo Lamp Bearer' ability to be further improved.
In other words, besides his own 'Six-Tomoe Rinnegan', he could also control three other pairs of eyes.
Without worrying too much about whether he could control a single eye, Shinji directly activated 'Susanoo Lamp Bearer' and tried.
Soon, guided by a gentle light, Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan in Shinji's palm was lifted into the air and flew into a pair of empty eye sockets of his 'Susanoo'.
Immediately after, the originally lightless empty eye sockets shone with light.
"It worked!"
Shinji was secretly delighted.
Although it was only a single Mangekyo Sharingan, his 'Susanoo Lamp Bearer' still successfully controlled it.
And after successful control, not just one eye lit up in the second pair of eye sockets of Shinji's 'Susanoo', but both eyes lit up together. It was just that the emitted brilliance was not as dazzling as controlling a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan.
Sensing slightly, Shinji mastered 'Kotoamatsukami'.
Just as he expected, 'Kotoamatsukami' was not a simple genjutsu, but a technique similar to 'Izanagi' that could change reality by twisting destiny. It was just that 'Kotoamatsukami' twisted not destiny, but the target's will.
It was precisely because of this that even 'Impure World Reincarnation' bodies, which 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' could not affect, could not resist the control of 'Kotoamatsukami'.
In the original timeline, Itachi's 'Impure World Reincarnation' body accidentally fell under 'Kotoamatsukami', thereby breaking free from Yakushi Kabuto's control. Finally, he traced back to Yakushi Kabuto and controlled him through 'Izanami' to release all participating 'Impure World Reincarnation' bodies, reversing the war situation of the Fourth Great Ninja War in one fell swoop.
After adapting for a while, Shinji deactivated 'Susanoo', left the underground training ground, and returned to Konoha.
When Shinji returned to the Military Police Building again, the sky had already dimmed.
During this period, the Intelligence Division had reported everything that happened in the village in detail to Tsunade at the headquarters in the Land of Rain.
Learning that the Third Hokage died in battle, Tsunade remained silent.
Because before leading the army out, she had keenly sensed that the Third Hokage was making some preparations to deal with Orochimaru. So she had long guessed that there would be such a result, she just didn't expect it to come so quickly and suddenly.
As for Shinji successfully capturing Orochimaru's group who attacked the village, suppressing the rebellious Danzo, and then temporarily taking over the village's defense as the Captain of the Military Police Force, Tsunade didn't have any extreme reactions.
Tsunade knew very well that the current overall situation was still the decisive battle with the Akatsuki organization.
After the Third Hokage died in battle, having someone stand up to stabilize the situation in the village was already the best outcome.
So Tsunade, as the Fifth Hokage, acknowledged the established fact that Shinji temporarily took charge of the village and asked Shinji to maintain the stability of the village.
With Tsunade's approval, Shinji's control of the village became justified.
Therefore, the Military Police Building was brightly lit. The Communications Division, Intelligence Division, Sealing Squad, Anbu, and other institutions were all on standby here.
Arriving at the room detaining Orochimaru again, Shinji nodded to Mumei guarding the door.
Sasuke had swapped shifts with Mumei due to injury and fatigue and went to rest.
However, he didn't return to his apartment to rest but found a random room in the Military Police Building to sleep.
Walking into Orochimaru's cell, Shinji had a smile on his face.
Looking at Shinji's smiling face, Orochimaru felt like seeing a devil, his scalp tingling continuously.
After Shinji left those words before, he vaguely guessed something.
After all, Shisui's 'Kotoamatsukami' which could twist others' will was not a secret among Konoha's high-level officials.
Orochimaru couldn't help speaking first: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Nothing, just a small experiment!" Pausing, Shinji said: "I'm very curious whether your willpower is stronger or the pupil technique of our Uchiha clan's Mangekyo Sharingan is stronger!"
"Damn it!"
Orochimaru cursed, his face becoming hideous.
Shinji had made it so clear, he naturally knew what he was going to face.
Shinji said indifferently: "For you, isn't this also a kind of redemption? With your crimes of blaspheming the previous Hokage, attacking the village multiple times, and killing the Third Hokage, even Tsunade and Jiraiya probably won't forgive you again, right?"
"Hmph!"
Orochimaru snorted coldly.
Shinji continued: "I know your 'Living Corpse Reincarnation' is somewhat evil, and you have backed up your chakra in some people's bodies through 'Cursed Seals', which can be used as seeds for resurrection. Ordinary people indeed can't kill you, but I am different!"
Hearing this, Orochimaru's expression changed drastically, looking at Shinji subconsciously.
These were the core secrets for him. Even his most trusted Yakushi Kabuto only knew part of it, so he didn't understand why Shinji would know these.
And taking advantage of the moment when Orochimaru's mind was shaken, Shinji activated 'Kotoamatsukami' at the instant their gazes met!
