Itachi didn't expect that the eyes of different people from the same family could adapt so quickly. It should not take long to fully adapt to these eyes. Maybe by tomorrow, they will be completely adapted.
Before that, he needs to adapt more because this time it is of great importance and must be handled with extreme caution.
Failure is not an option, and there is only one chance.
As for his own eyes, they were also stored in a bottle of nutrient solution and placed in his ninja tool pouch.
Early the next morning, Itachi and the Third Hokage immediately set out for the small forest where Uchiha Ryosuke usually trained.
This place had few people, making it suitable for action.
At this moment, Uchiha Ryosuke was jogging at a leisurely pace. Seeing the two people suddenly appear before him, he immediately stopped.
It was actually the Third Hokage and Uchiha Itachi. Why would these two come together? He was clearly not on the same path as them.
Uchiha Itachi did not listen to his reasoning at all, and his face was extremely dark, so there was no need to even try to convince him.
Meanwhile, Itachi forcibly calmed himself down, directly activated Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan, and injected his own chakra into it, causing his eyes to glow a crimson red. He activated Kotoamatsukami. "Uchiha Ryosuke, be loyal to Konoha, be loyal to the Third Hokage."
He completely implanted his thoughts into Ryosuke's mind.
Uchiha Ryosuke was startled to see Itachi awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was a four-cornered pattern. Wasn't that Shisui's Mangekyō? How could it be in Itachi's eyes?
And judging by the looks of it, was he trying to use the exclusive Mangekyō technique, Kotoamatsukami, on him?
However, he was not afraid in the slightest, because his left Mangekyō had an ability that made him immune to genjutsu.
He immediately activated his Mangekyō Sharingan in one swift motion, revealing a pair of eight-pointed star Mangekyō Sharingan in his eye sockets.
Right after that, Ryosuke felt a mental impact crashing into his eyes, but it was completely blocked and could not penetrate his mind at all.
It seemed that Itachi's Kotoamatsukami could not alter his thoughts.
But in Itachi's eyes, Uchiha Ryosuke remained motionless. Without a doubt, his Kotoamatsukami had successfully taken control of the target.
He immediately relaxed. "Third Hokage, mission accomplished. He has been controlled."
The Third Hokage was overjoyed. Had it really worked? And in just a few seconds?
Though Itachi had first commanded Uchiha Ryosuke to be loyal to the village and then to him, which made him slightly dissatisfied, he represented the village, so it was not a big issue.
He called out to Uchiha Ryosuke from a distance. "Come over here."
Uchiha Ryosuke felt frustrated. He hadn't expected the Third Hokage to dare to give him orders, clearly thinking he was under control. Without hesitation, he walked over.
'Shisui's eyes could not be left in the hands of such a traitor.'
The Third Hokage saw Ryosuke obediently walk toward him and believed that Itachi had been right—Kotoamatsukami had indeed succeeded.
Itachi also felt relieved. Shisui's death was not in vain. From now on, the Uchiha clan would be loyal to Konoha, and Konoha would return to normal instead of becoming the "Uchiha's Konoha."
However, unexpectedly, as soon as Uchiha Ryosuke reached them, he suddenly extended both hands, dug out Itachi's eyes, and kicked him away.
The Third Hokage's face also changed drastically—he had no idea what was happening.
After sending Itachi flying, Ryosuke swiftly turned and kicked the Third Hokage. The Third Hokage instinctively raised both hands to block. Immediately, he felt immense pressure and pain in his arms.
His eyes were full of confusion. 'Uchiha Ryosuke wasn't affected by Kotoamatsukami? And without even opening the Eight Gates, his taijutsu is already superior to mine—how is this possible?'
The Third Hokage now understood—Uchiha Ryosuke's physical strength had grown stronger.
It was exactly as Ryosuke had said: as long as he trained, he would become more powerful. Now, even without opening the Eight Gates, Ryosuke's taijutsu was superior to his own.
Feeling the pain in his arms, he realized he was no match for Uchiha Ryosuke. Moreover, the plan had failed, and the consequences were severe. His heart was filled with fear.
Meanwhile, Ryosuke held Shisui's eyes and looked at the Third Hokage. "I didn't expect you to actually dare make a move against me. What did you do to Shisui?"
Hearing Shisui's name, the Third Hokage panicked and immediately turned to flee. If Ryosuke found out that Shisui had died by his hands, he would have a legitimate reason to kill him.
He speculated that Ryosuke had not used force to depose him earlier because he had grown smarter—he wanted to leverage morality and justice to force him out of power.
He could not leave any evidence behind, or it would be his downfall. He had to rush back and dispose of Shisui's body—there might still be a chance to cover it up.
Seeing the Third Hokage attempt to flee, Ryosuke would never allow it.
He immediately activated the Eight Gates, releasing a blue-green chakra vapor from his body, exuding an overwhelming aura, and charged after the Third Hokage.
In an instant, he caught up. With a powerful kick to the Third Hokage's back, he sent him crashing to the ground like a cannonball.
With a loud boom, a massive crater formed, and the Third Hokage lay within, struggling and coughing up blood. The force of the impact left him in pain, and he quickly lost consciousness.
Ryosuke at this moment was also inwardly excited, actually dared to make a move on him, and even dared to use Shisui's eyes. Regardless of whether Shisui was okay or not, this was a great opportunity for the Uchiha clan.
Then he carried the body of the Third Hokage and walked toward another enemy, that was Uchiha Itachi.
On the other side, Uchiha Itachi had already opened the nutrient solution bottle, took out his own eyes, and then installed them.
After all, these were his own eyes, the visual nerves connected at an extremely fast speed, and very quickly restored their original ability.
At this moment, he heard a loud explosion, and his expression instantly turned bad. 'Could it be that Uchiha Ryosuke, that guy, made a move on the Third Hokage? Damn guy.'
Just as he was about to rush over, he saw a figure appearing in front of him, and in his hand was the already unconscious Third Hokage. He angrily asked, "Uchiha Ryosuke, what did you do to the Third Hokage?"
The loud explosion just now must have been caused by Uchiha Ryosuke, and he did not know how the Third Hokage was now.
At this moment, Uchiha Ryosuke directly threw the Third Hokage in his hand to the side, then slowly said, "Relax, I didn't kill him, just severely injured and made him unconscious."
"But I do want to ask you, Shisui's eyes are in your hands, could it be that you guys got rid of Shisui?"
Thinking of Shisui, Ryosuke's gaze became even colder. If that was the case, then what role did Uchiha Itachi play in this?
He didn't think Itachi was the one who did it. Even if he was completely ruthless, he wouldn't have reached this extent. Then it should be the Third Hokage who did it.
But Itachi did not want to pay attention to Uchiha Ryosuke's words and directly activated the three-tomoe Sharingan, then also activated the Mangekyō Sharingan. The triangular windmill-like Sharingan stared at Uchiha Ryosuke.
Right now, he only wanted to get rid of the other party. Shisui's Kotoamatsukami had failed, but his Tsukuyomi would not fail.
Ryosuke saw the other party activate the Mangekyō Sharingan, and inwardly had a bad premonition.
In the original storyline, it was precisely Uchiha Shisui's death that led Uchiha Itachi to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. Could it be that such a scene had played out once again?
Perhaps now Uchiha Shisui was already dead.
Although this was an opportunity for the clan to rise to power, Shisui was also a pitiful person. His parents had sacrificed themselves for Konoha, and he himself had also exhausted himself for Konoha Village and the Uchiha clan, yet he did not expect to die at the hands of the Third Hokage.
It was truly quite tragic.
He felt a bit guilty, not expecting that even though Danzo, who harbored the greatest malice toward the Uchiha clan, was already gone, such a thing could still happen.
But looking at Uchiha Itachi, "Since you have already activated the Mangekyō Sharingan, that means Shisui is already dead, right? And this must have been done by the Third Hokage."
"Why don't you take revenge on the Third Hokage? Wasn't Shisui your closest friend?"
