Danzo Shimura suddenly and categorically objected.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and his two advisors were also taken aback.
"What are you trying to say, Danzo?"
Danzo Shimura coldly replied, "Using Kotoamatsukami against the Uchiha clan..."
"Is this all you've got, Hiruzen?"
"Why not?"
"I can't believe the Uchiha clan."
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned deeply: "So, isn't using Kotoamatsukami to change their will and stop their rebellion a righteous path?"
Danzo Shimura said in a deep voice, "Hiruzen, you've overlooked a crucial point..."
His eyes, like those of a hyena or eagle, were raised and fixed intently on Uchiha Shisui.
"The man before me is also a member of the Uchiha clan!"
Uchiha Shisui was startled.
"Lord Danzo, you still don't trust me?"
"I've said it before, I can't trust any Uchiha clan member, and you're no exception."
"How can I be sure you're telling the truth?"
"How can I be sure that you really used Kotoamatsukami to manipulate all the Uchiha clan members, making them abandon their rebellion and pledge allegiance to Konoha?"
"How can I be sure you won't secretly release the control, allowing the Uchiha clan to secretly gather strength and launch another rebellion?!"
Uchiha Shisui's expression changed drastically.
"I...I would never do that!"
"That's just one side of the story!"
Uchiha Shisui never expected that his courage to reveal his final trump card would be met with such suspicion.
He said to Hiruzen Sarutobi, filled with anger and resentment, "Hokage-sama, don't you believe me either?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi originally trusted him a lot.
However, Shimura Danzo's words now made him waver somewhat.
Although Uchiha Shisui seemed utterly loyal...
But it is indeed as Danzo said...
What if?
The key issue is that the power of Kotoamatsukami is so terrifying that one simply cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood...
If the Uchiha clan wasn't brainwashed, but rather he did...
That would truly be the most terrifying thing in the world...
Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Shisui, of course I believe in you. No one knows the Will of Fire in your heart better than I do."
"However... Danzo's words may not be entirely without merit..."
"This matter is of great importance. How can we be sure that you truly control the will of the entire Uchiha clan?"
"You know, this concerns the very survival of the entire village..."
Uchiha Shisui felt a chill run down his spine.
"Lord Hokage, how can you prove my loyalty?!"
Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could speak, Danzo Shimura stopped him.
"It's very simple."
"Use your Mangekyou Sharingan..."
"Leave it to me!"
Uchiha Shisui was completely dumbfounded!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also taken aback, but then, something suddenly occurred to him...
It's impossible to hand it over to Danzo, otherwise there's no guarantee he won't turn against me!
This most terrifying power in the world is definitely safest to be in one's own hands!
"Shut up, Danzo!"
"You know that's absolutely impossible!"
Danzo Shimura lowered his head sinisterly, his eyes filled with a ruthless and vicious look, clearly plotting a conspiracy.
Hiruzen Sarutobi understood his thoughts, but...
"Even a Kotoamatsukami like Shisui has many limitations, right?"
"In this ninja world, there is no technique that is absolutely invincible."
Uchiha Shisui nodded: "That's right, Hokage-sama."
"Kotoamatsukami can be activated unconsciously, and can hit many people at the same time."
"However... although it's claimed to permanently change someone's will, there's still a possibility it can be broken if discovered..."
In the original work, Shimura Danzo manipulated Mifune using Kotoamatsukami at the Five Kage Summit, but was discovered by Kirigakure's Byakugan and exposed, leading to the failure of his conspiracy.
This shows that Kotoamatsukami is indeed not invincible.
"and……"
Uchiha Shisui continued, "Once Kotoamatsukami is activated, there is a cooldown period of several years or even more than ten years, so..."
"If you want to use it, you must be extremely cautious."
Of course, unless there are interstitial cells, the cooling time can be significantly reduced to about half a day.
Hashirama cells, hailed as the most divine artifact in the ninja world, are no exaggeration...
However, even Uchiha Shisui himself was unaware of this information at the moment.
No one knew except for Chiyu.
Danzo Shimura coldly replied, "Even if it's successfully released, it could be countered, and once activated, there's a cooldown period of over ten years..."
"Hiruzen, are you really going to pin your hopes on this kind of technique?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated after hearing this.
He looked at the two elders.
What are your thoughts?
Koharu and Mitokado exchanged a glance.
"Indeed, while Kotoamatsukami sounds terrifying, it is not absolutely perfect."
"However... if it can really be used to stop the Uchiha clan's rebellion, it wouldn't hurt to let Shisui give it a try. Even the worst outcome would just be that he'd be seen through and face a counterattack from the Uchiha clan."
"That was just an expected outcome..."
Mitokado Homura nodded in agreement, "That's right!"
"Moreover, this matter can be combined with the matter of Kumogakure."
"If Shisui can control the entire Uchiha clan, he can hand over the culprit, Uchiha Chiba, to Kumogakure and let them deal with him as they see fit. Perhaps this could end the war!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple..."
"Even if you pin all the blame on Uchiha Chiba, the Raikage won't let it go so easily..."
Koharu Utatane asked, "What if we also handed over Uchiha Chiba's Mangekyou Sharingan?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled!
"I see. Their goal in Kumogakure is the Byakugan. By handing over Uchiha Chiba and the Mangekyou Sharingan, we can not only quell their anger but also allow them to reap benefits far exceeding those of the Byakugan..."
"However, the Uchiha clan is one thing, but the reactions of the other clans are probably..."
Mitokado said, "This is a last resort."
"Let Shisui use Kotoamatsukami to manipulate the entire Uchiha clan, and then hand over Uchiha Chiba to atone for the Kumogakure incident. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone."
"The only problem is..."
"Shisui, can you really do it?"
"Uchiha Chiba, that man also possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan!"
Uchiha Shisui said in a deep voice, "Indeed, Uchiha clansmen with the Mangekyou Sharingan are terrifying. However, Uchiha Chiba's Mangekyou Sharingan has only just been awakened; it's impossible for him to contend with my Kotoamatsukami!"
"I have absolute confidence!"
Koharu Utatane said, "Shisui, you originally intended to use Kotoamatsukami to control Uchiha Chiba, didn't you?"
"Then make him loyal to Konoha and work for me?"
"It seems you still have high hopes for him..."
Uchiha Shisui sighed, "In terms of talent and strength, Uchiha Chiba is an absolute genius!"
"In fact, they might not be inferior to me or Itachi..."
"So, if possible, I really don't want to kill him; I just want to control him to serve Konoha, but..."
"That person's perseverance and stubbornness, I'm afraid..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi understood his concerns; even if that man was controlled, he himself would probably still be restless!
Only death could bring him complete peace and quell his hatred and anger.
He said coldly, "Then let's leave it at that..."
"Uchiha Senba must die!"
"Then hand over his body, along with his Mangekyou Sharingan, to Kumogakure as atonement!"
"As for the other clansmen, I'll leave them to your Kotoamatsukami, Shisui!"
Uchiha Shisui took a deep breath.
Then, with all his might, he nodded heavily.
"I understand, Hokage-sama."
"The Uchiha clan..."
"True peace and stability will be achieved in my hands!"
