The air grew still.
Naruto's hand was still extended toward Shisui—but now, his expression shifted slightly, as he spoke inside his mind.
> "System. Open the limited-use Mangekyō Sharingan access."
> [ Ding~! You got it, boss! 24-Hour Access to Limited Mangekyō Sharingan Unlocked!]
Unlocked Powers: Kamui (Right Eye) – Dimensional Manipulation.
Tsukihime's Veil (Left Eye) – High-level Genjutsu capable of altering perception and showing constructed realities. Have fun~! ]
Naruto's expression didn't change—but his eyes did.
In the very next second, his pupils began to spin. The scarlet Sharingan transformed—growing sharper, darker—into the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Shisui's body stiffened.
His lone eye widened in disbelief. "T-That's—"
Naruto met his gaze directly, both eyes fully ablaze with swirling power.
"You're not the only one who's awakened this power, Shisui."
"But... only an Uchiha... only with deep loss—" Shisui muttered.
"Do I look like an Uchiha to you?" Naruto said with a slight smirk.
Before Shisui could process more, Naruto activated his left eye.
"Tsukihime's Veil."
The world around Shisui instantly shattered—reality cracking like glass as he was pulled into a deep illusion space.
He stood in darkness. Endless. Cold.
A moment later—blood red clouds rolled in, and with them… the screams.
The scene warped into the streets of the Uchiha district.
Bodies littered the ground. Children. Elders. Shinobi.
At the center of it all stood Itachi, his Mangekyō cold and lifeless.
In the shadows, the Third Hokage stood quietly, watching. Silently. As Danzo moved in the background, collecting Sharingan.
Shisui fell to his knees.
"No... No, this can't be—Itachi wouldn't—Hiruzen-sama wouldn't allow this—!"
Naruto's voice echoed through the illusion, cold and absolute.
"This is the future. The night your clan will be erased.
Not by enemies… but by the very village you trusted."
Shisui trembled. "I—I wanted to stop war… I wanted peace…"
"And look where your faith will take you."
The scene faded back to the dark void.
Naruto appeared before Shisui within the illusion—eyes glowing with the same Mangekyō power.
"Now… tell me, Shisui—do you still think this village deserves your loyalty?"
Inside the dark safehouse, Shisui remained still—his face pale from the illusion he had just experienced.
His fingers trembled slightly, the weight of the truth crushing down upon him.
And yet, his silence was met by a confident voice.
> "System. Open my previous task rewards."
> [Ding~! Reward 1 – Random Bloodline Limit: "Wood Release" has been unlocked! Congratulations!]
Naruto's eyes widened slightly, even he taken aback.
"…Wood Release? Straight to the advanced version? Not even through Senju bloodline?" he muttered.
> [Yup~! You hit the jackpot, boss! Direct access. No diluted DNA. No heritage locks! Have fun with those trees~!]
He smiled faintly, excitement welling in his chest. Hashirama's legendary power—now his.
> [Opening Reward 2 – Legacy Rewrite Token.]
This item allows you to change one person's ancestry or origin. Irreversible. One use only. Use with extreme caution.
Would you like to use it now? Y/N
Naruto's eyes narrowed, deep in thought.
> "Not yet. But soon…"
He turned his attention back to Shisui, whose gaze had shifted from lost to… resolved.
"…You were right," Shisui finally spoke, voice heavy. "I can't keep lying to myself."
Naruto nodded slowly. "Then let me show you the plan."
---
Naruto's tone turned cold, calculating.
"We eliminate all hawkish Uchiha—those plotting rebellion, those obsessed with war and hatred. That includes your own clan leader, Fugaku, whose cowardice will only drag you all down."
Shisui's eye twitched slightly but remained silent.
"Use your name and status to calm the survivors," Naruto continued. "And all the blame…"
He glanced back, eyes burning with Mangekyō power.
"…will fall on Itachi."
Shisui's fists clenched. "But… Itachi…"
"He will survive," Naruto said sharply. "He'll be forced to flee, hunted by the Leaf, and join Akatsuki as a spy. You will remain and become the new Patriarch of the Uchiha—a symbol of peace."
Shisui looked shaken, but Naruto continued:
"I will personally eliminate the targets with my Mangekyō—then vanish. No one will ever know I was there."
He stepped closer to Shisui, eyes narrowing.
"And once that's done… I will kill Danzo myself, and publicly reveal his betrayal and the Uchiha's fake treason—creating a new narrative, one that honors the Uchiha sacrifice instead of condemning it."
Shisui was silent for a long time.
"…You want me to lie," he whispered. "To bury the truth… and betray Itachi."
Naruto's voice was low.
"I want you to save the clan's future. If you can't abandon your sentiment, more blood will be spilled. But if you bear the weight of this… you can save hundreds."
Shisui lowered his head.
"…Very well," he said quietly. "I'll do it. For the clan. Even if it means turning my back on the person I once called brother."
Naruto smirked.
"Smart choice."
