Under the power of Chiyu's Magatsuhi no Kami Mangekyō Sharingan technique,
Uchiha Shisui had entirely fallen into the punishment for his sins.
Crimson karmic flames scorched both body and soul, judging his guilt while also cleansing him of it.
Inside Shisui's spiritual world, he had already been burned to ash by the karmic fire…
And in the real world, flames likewise engulfed his physical body.
Yet compared to the terror and despair in his heart, the actual blaze on his body was of lesser concern.
"Have I truly committed so many sins…?"
"So, my 'Will of Fire,' my 'loyalty' to the Konoha, all leads only to this outcome…"
"And Uchiha Itachi… In the end, he meets such a fate, while the entire Uchiha clan is massacred in a single night—wiped out completely…"
"I…am stained with sin, deserving countless deaths…"
At the final moment, Uchiha Shisui finally regained clarity.
He collapsed to the ground, still enduring the blazing red karmic flame, and at the very end cast a despairing look at Chiyu.
"Chiyu… Thank you for letting me see the truth of my sins… Forgive me, for having caused you and the clan so much trouble…"
Chiyu did not respond to his repentance. It was only the expected outcome after Shisui was struck by the power of his right-eye Mangekyō. Still, letting him die with clarity was not so bad.
"You have understood."
Swathed in the fierce red karmic fire, Uchiha Shisui offered a faint smile.
He gazed once more into the distant shadows where Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō were still too fearful to emerge.
Then Shisui sighed, casting a final look at Uchiha Itachi.
"Itachi…we were wrong all along…
Don't repeat the same errors or walk the twisted path I did…
Care for yourself, love your family—there's nothing more important…"
As he spoke, Uchiha Shisui's voice gradually faded away.
His life's breath ebbed entirely…
Both eyes slowly closed…
That was the end of Uchiha Shisui, recognized until now as the greatest among the Uchiha clan—indeed, the strongest man in the Konoha Village, famed across the ninja world for his "Body Flicker Shisui."
He had finally perished by Chiyu's hand.
Uchiha Itachi let out a gut-wrenching scream:
Yet in the end, he did not dare approach the still-burning karmic flames.
Off in the distance, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō fell silent.
They had never dreamed Shisui would lose—nor that he would truly die by Chiyu's hand.
It was an unbelievable outcome…
In their eyes, while Uchiha Chiyu was formidable, there was no way he could surpass Shisui, recognized as the strongest.
"Uchiha Chiyu's right eye… an 'Eye of Judgment?'
It can forcibly judge someone's sins—transforming them into flames that burn body and soul alike…
Ignore any and all defenses?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō both broke out in cold sweat.
How could either of them withstand that move?
At this point, they had no will to show themselves.
Yet Chiyu was not unscathed either.
Not only had he used "Kuyebiko," he had also unleashed "Magatsuhi no Kami."
His eyes were not the Eternal Mangekyō, nor did he possess Hashirama cells.
Once deployed, he too faced enormous recoil and risk.
Having fought so fiercely, even after killing Uchiha Shisui, his remaining strength was limited.
But it was all worth it.
Uchiha Shisui had represented the clan's opposite extreme.
Naive, simple, indecisive—so susceptible to outside manipulation and propaganda.
Now he had died by Chiyu's hand, thoroughly closing off that path within the Uchiha.
His karmic blaze was not the black flames of Amaterasu.
Once the victim's body and soul were extinguished, the red flames would likewise diminish.
Whereas Amaterasu would never stop burning until the target was consumed physically.
Chiyu's "Magatsuhi no Kami" karmic flames, on the contrary, devoured "life" and "spirit" for fuel—once the foe died, nothing remained to burn.
[You have cleansed Uchiha Shisui of his sins, allowing him true enlightenment. Great virtue! +2,000 Virtue Points!]
Chiyu quivered at the notification:
Just one Uchiha Shisui netted a full 2,000 points!
He recalled that Sarutobi Shinnosuke—Sarutobi Hiruzen's son, the slain head of the Anbu—only gave him +200.
This indeed was Uchiha Shisui, the top-class ninja.
He casually added all the points to his ocular power, resulting in:
A massive leap in ocular strength.
Now the Mangekyō Sharingan gauge (5160/10000)!
And the side effect of ocular strain, leading him toward blindness, vanished alongside that surge in power!
No matter how you looked at it, these results were immense.
Killing Uchiha Shisui drastically cut down the Konoha leadership's greatest champion.
Combined with earlier slayings—Sarutobi Nichio, Shinnosuke, plus numerous Anbu…
Sarutobi Hiruzen's faction had fallen precipitously in strength.
Uchiha Itachi stared at Chiyu, eyes unreadable.
Chiyu ignored him, not even glancing his way—he merely spoke to Uchiha Fugaku and the others gradually emerging from behind:
Fugaku walked forward, gazing down at Shisui's corpse. He gave a silent nod, countless emotions in his heart.
He couldn't help sighing inwardly.
Shisui had been a thorough tragedy.
And that tragedy was born from Konoha's top brass brainwashing him.
Thus the hatred's true root remained with Sarutobi Hiruzen and his cohort.
Behind him, Uchiha Yashiro spoke up:
"Patriach, Shisui's Kotoamatsukami…"
Fugaku looked toward Chiyu.
Chiyu gave a cool shake of his head:
His eyes are already ruined."
"Before this, Shisui presumably used his Mangekyō powers. Then in our fight, he was forced to go further, unleashing the ultimate force of Susanoo. He'd already burned through his ocular power…
Let alone the flames of my Magatsuhi no Kami that scorched both body and spirit, leaving irreversible destruction in the Mangekyō.
And more importantly—
I absolutely despise forcibly brainwashing others.
That's the method I find most revolting."
"I see. Then we'll bury him well.
As for the aftermath, Chiyu, you can do as you see fit.
You are, after all, the Captain of the Police Force."
Chiyu turned, facing the entire Police Force assembled behind him. All were brimming with spirit, adrenaline surging as they knelt respectfully:
"Captain, your orders!"
Among them, he spotted…
Chiyu's eyes lit with rare approval, and he allowed a slight smile.
"Aoki, so you're finally awake…"
Aoki answered with a bright grin of his own:
At that moment, the entire Uchiha clan was as one—united and determined—roused by an unprecedented vitality! Content originally comes from NovelHub(.)net
