Reality.
In front of the giant Buddha statue in Konoha Village.
Shimura Danzo's face was covered in blood, painfully clutching his eye socket.
The old man recalled the world of genjutsu he had experienced, incredulously feeling the emptiness in his palm, wondering what was happening!
Clearly...
It was just genjutsu.
Why, when the eye he took from Uchiha Shisui was taken away in the genjutsu world, did that eye also completely disappear in the real world, even retaining the wound in the eye socket, as if it had all really happened...
"It was you..."
Shimura Danzo looked up at the masked man in front of him: "Uchiha Obito, it was you who used genjutsu to steal my eye!"
"That wasn't your eye!"
The masked man chuckled disdainfully, giving Danzo a kick that sent him flying: "Thanks to you, Danzo, it wasn't easy to take Uchiha Shisui's eye..."
"Bastard..."
"I truly didn't expect that Shisui's eye was Kotoamatsukami..."
The masked man looked at the painfully groaning and cursing Shimura Danzo on the ground, chuckling as he soothed him: "Alright, from now on, you no longer need to worry about Uchiha Shisui using Kotoamatsukami on you."
"You bastard..."
Shimura Danzo continued to hurl insults at the masked man.
Things could not be more troublesome than they are now, the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan, capable of bending will, had fallen into the hands of the Konoha Traitorous Ninja, Uchiha Obito!
Should Uchiha Obito use Kotoamatsukami on Konoha's ninjas, or even the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Konoha could face unimaginable disaster...
No.
This news cannot disappear.
Yes, I absolutely cannot die here!
This news must be taken back, or it will be trouble if the traitorous ninja Uchiha Obito uses Kotoamatsukami to control the village's ninjas in the future. Shimura Danzo, enduring the pain in his eye socket, got up and ran toward the direction of the Root Base!
"Run... run..."
The masked man didn't care at all about Shimura Danzo's escape, even watching his retreating back, muttering to himself: "Remember well everything that happened today, remember that it was Uchiha Obito who took the will-bending Kotoamatsukami..."
Then.
The masked man looked into the distant forest.
In the forest, a towering green half-body Susanoo emerged from Uchiha Shisui, incessantly firing green Chakra Arrows from Susanoo's chest, wiping out a group of Root Ninjas pursuing him!
"Not bad strength..."
The masked man watched as the green Susanoo dissipated, slowly removed his mask, his body gradually transforming, revealing his true identity.
Akihara Kagura.
To allow his superior, Uchiha Obito, to gain more renown, Akihara Kagura even worked during downtime, replacing his superior in reclaiming Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami.
This way, others in the Ninja World would surely fear his superior's name more, and everyone would know that his superior, Uchiha Obito, was not to be trifled with!
In the Ninja World, anyone might be controlled by Uchiha Obito using Kotoamatsukami, anyone could become a puppet under Uchiha Obito's genjutsu!
"There's another Kotoamatsukami."
Akihara Kagura, seeing the distant Susanoo dissipate, pursued in the direction of Uchiha Shisui: "But, there are things more valuable than Kotoamatsukami..."
On a cliff.
Having dealt with a group of Root Ninjas chasing him, Uchiha Shisui immediately contacted Uchiha Itachi, who was nearby to assist him, arranging to meet.
"Shisui!"
Uchiha Itachi looked surprised at his friend, now with only one eye.
"I initially wanted to use Kotoamatsukami to stop the coup."
Uchiha Shisui clutched his eye socket, his inability to change the situation leaving him too despondent to even feel his wound's pain: "Shimura Danzo doesn't trust me, took my right eye, stubbornly wanting to settle everything his way, I'm afraid he won't spare my left eye either..."
"Before that."
Uchiha Shisui reached out a finger, gouged out his left eye with effort, and handed it towards Uchiha Itachi: "I entrust this eye to you, my dear friend, protect the future of Konoha and Uchiha!"
"..."
Uchiha Itachi watched his now blind friend, furrowing his brow.
If his friend couldn't protect the last remaining Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan, letting this Sharingan fall into Shimura Danzo's hands could become even more problematic.
A Ninja Crow suddenly swooped down from the sky, landed on Uchiha Shisui's hand, and as it grasped the eye, it turned into feathers, disappearing.
This was Uchiha Itachi's summoned beast.
After releasing his summoned Ninja Crow, Uchiha Itachi softly continued to ask: "I've accepted it, what do you plan to do?"
"If I die, perhaps the situation might change?"
Uchiha Shisui, closing his sightless eye sockets, slowly backed to the edge of the cliff: "Since using Susanoo during the Chunin Exams, all clan members believed my Mangekyo Sharingan and Susanoo could suppress everything, which has only made everyone more militant. I've been contemplating suicide for a long time..."
