After being resurrected, the empty sockets where Yuto had gouged out the Sharingan returned to their original state.
While the revival mechanism of a demi-human was incredibly powerful, it had one flaw that wasn't quite a flaw: any physical injury or loss of an organ, such as a severed arm, leg, or even a missing internal organ, would be completely restored to its original state upon resurrection.
For instance, the Sharingan of Shisui Uchiha, which Yuto had pressed into his eye socket. Since that eye was not originally Yuto's, his body, upon resurrection, simply restored his own original eye.
As for what would have happened to Shisui's Sharingan if it hadn't been gouged out, Yuto didn't know. But he suspected that in such a case, it would likely be forcibly ejected or reset, either of which would probably cause some damage to the eye.
This was precisely why Yuto had gouged out Shisui's Sharingan before taking his own life.
"Seriously, I have to do this all over again."
Yuto looked at the Sharingan in his hand and couldn't help but complain to himself.
With that, he gouged out his own eyes again, crushing and destroying them completely before pressing Shisui's Sharingan back into place.
A moment later, Yuto took a deep breath, stood up, stretched lazily, and looked towards the direction of Konoha.
The reason Yuto was rushing towards Konoha with all his might was to make his move before Hashirama Senju could act against him.
Although the White Zetsu he had been monitoring Hidden Mist had all been eliminated by Yuto, if enough time passed, Madara Uchiha was bound to notice something was wrong. Therefore, Yuto had to get his hands on Shisui's other Sharingan before Madara Uchiha could interfere.
Once Yuto possessed the complete "Kotoamatsukami," he could change the entire situation of the ninja world, whether he used it on Hashirama or Madara.
While now might not be the ideal time to use "Kotoamatsukami," it was one of the few opportunities he had.
"First, I need to draw out that Hashirama guy."
Yuto's eyes gleamed as he muttered to himself.
The next moment, a sharp aura erupted from Yuto's body.
BOOM!
A terrifying wave of energy centered on Yuto and surged towards Konoha. The air above Yuto let out a roar like distant thunder. The once-clear sky seemed to darken under this terrifying aura, and anyone who felt this presence felt a sense of oppression deep in their hearts.
In Konoha, Tsunade, who was in the Hokage's office handling various documents, suddenly shot up from her chair. She stared wide-eyed in the direction of the terrifying aura, clenched her fists, and took several sharp breaths.
"That's the aura of the First Mizukage, Yuto!"
"Hidden Mist's audacity is too much!"
Tsunade's voice was filled with anger as her chest heaved. Hidden Mist and the First Mizukage, Yuto, were provoking Konoha one after another. With Tsunade's fiery temper, how could she possibly tolerate it? If she didn't know her own strength was insufficient, she probably would have long since gone and beaten Yuto to a pulp.
Just as Tsunade's face flashed with anger and she prepared to rush out of the Hokage's office, a "crack" sounded as the office door was thrown open. Jiraiya entered with a grave expression.
"Tsunade, you're the Hokage now, this isn't the time for impulsiveness."
As soon as Jiraiya entered the office and saw Tsunade's expression, he knew what she was about to do and spoke hastily.
"I became Hokage because of you, you idiot!"
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Tsunade's face immediately showed a layer of displeasure as she glared at him fiercely.
Jiraiya scratched his head, a look of embarrassment flashing across his face, but it quickly vanished, replaced by a stern expression:
"We can't get involved in a battle of that level, especially not with Hashirama-dama around."
Tsunade took a slight breath. She was naturally aware of this, but she just couldn't help feeling a sense of resentment deep down.
"We haven't even gone looking for trouble with Hidden Mist, and now they've come knocking on our door again. I'm worried that Madara Uchiha might be with him."
A worried look flashed in Tsunade's eyes as she spoke gravely.
"Don't worry. With Madara Uchiha's pride, how could the aura he emits only contain that of the First Mizakage, Yuto?"
"And I trust in Hashirama-dama!" Jiraiya's face showed a firm expression.
"There's one more thing. Kabuto Yakushi has gone missing. The three ANBU who were monitoring him have just been found; they are currently unconscious."
"Kabuto didn't kill them, but we've underestimated his strength. Judging by the means he's shown, he's probably not beneath Kakashi."
Jiraiya spoke again, his tone now filled with hostility. Jiraiya had already been suspicious of this subordinate of Orochimaru's reasons for coming to Konoha. However, because Kabuto had helped Konoha out greatly by warning them, the village hadn't dared to make a move and had only kept him under surveillance for the time being. But now, with Kabuto openly defying Konoha, Jiraiya had already begun to entertain thoughts of killing him.
Hearing Jiraiya's words, Tsunade was slightly taken aback. If not for his reminder, she would have almost forgotten about a guy named Kabuto.
"Find him!" Tsunade's brow furrowed slightly as she spoke in a cold tone.
Elsewhere in Konoha, Danzō, who was secretly plotting, looked up the instant Yuto's aura erupted.
"How is that possible!"
Danzō's face instantly darkened.
Danzō had anticipated various problems that might arise when his plan was set in motion, but he had never imagined that his plan would be stillborn before it could even begin. Hashirama and the people of Konoha hadn't even gone looking for trouble with Hidden Mist yet, but the First Mizukage, Yuto, had come to them instead.
Yuto's completely unpredictable style of fighting completely left Danzō stunned.
Staring at the terrifying aura from outside Konoha that instilled a sense of oppression, Danzō raised a hand and touched the gauze-covered right eye, a ruthless glint flashing in his good eye.
