Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Shisui of the Body Flicker
After understanding the ability of "Tsukiyo-himuka," Mirai Uchiha finally found an appropriate metaphor.
A life simulation technique! Creating an illusory world to experience different life paths based on various choices.
However, although everything proceeds naturally once the illusionary world is formed, unlike ordinary life simulators, the illusionary world created by "Tsukiyo-himuka" is entirely built upon the caster's perception of reality.
Take himself as an example.
If Fugaku Uchiha subconsciously believes that overusing the Mangekyou Sharingan inevitably leads to blindness, then the "Mirai Uchiha" within the illusion world created through "Tsukiyo-himuka" would inevitably go blind due to depleted ocular power from using the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"No wonder father insists so stubbornly on his decisions. He must have simulated countless alternative life paths in the illusion world of 'Tsukiyo-himuka' multiple times already."
Mirai muttered softly.
Since Fugaku didn't know the secrets about him, the outcomes simulated would naturally differ greatly from reality.
Perhaps...
He even suspected that Fugaku might actually mistake the developments within the Tsukiyo-himuka world as genuine precognition abilities!
Only this could explain why Fugaku was so obsessed and unyielding.
Additionally, time within the Tsukiyo-himuka world flows independently from reality.
No matter how long the simulation lasts, it only takes an instant in the real world.
Of course, the longer the simulation time within Tsukiyo-himuka, the more ocular energy gets consumed.
Once he had fully understood everything, Mirai Uchiha nodded in satisfaction.
In his opinion, Tsukiyo-himuka was significantly superior compared to Tsukuyomi.
If used appropriately, its potential was absolutely formidable.

One week passed quickly.
As expected, after showing his strong side, Hiruzen Sarutobi took no action against him.
Everything proceeded as if nothing had happened at all.
Even though he had repeatedly embarrassed Hiruzen and his allies publicly.
This development greatly boosted the confidence of the Uchiha Clan's ninja, who now treated Uchiha Mirai with increasing respect and reverence.
After all... since Konoha's founding, they had never before stood so tall before the Hokage's faction like they did today.
Naturally, during this time, some members of the Uchiha clan continuously visited him. They urged him to take this opportunity to negotiate peace with Hiruzen and others, expressing that the Uchiha only wished to fight for their rightful rights and authority.
In their opinion, the current results were already quite satisfactory.
Pushing too far might backfire. It would be wise to give the Hokage's faction a chance to save face, preserving both sides' dignity and preventing complete hostility.
[Shisui of the Body Flicker]
Also, these people suggested that to maintain the clan's stability and unity, Fugaku Uchiha should be released from the holding cells.
Even some secretly blamed Mirai Uchiha for going too far.
As for this, Mirai Uchiha made no comments at all. He simply wrote those names down silently into a brand new notebook.
———
Morning.
Shisui Uchiha arrived alone at a training ground inside the Uchiha District.
After waiting for a long time, Mirai Uchiha finally appeared.
Seeing Mirai, Shisui immediately straightened his posture and greeted respectfully, "Captain Mirai!"
"Shisui, how long have you been here?"
A gentle smile surfaced on Shisui's face. "Sir Mirai, I just arrived as well."
"Then, did you call me over for something today?"
Mirai waved slightly toward Shisui. "Yes, there is indeed something I need to assign to you. However, before that, I must first see if you possess the ability to accomplish it."
Upon hearing Mirai's words, Shisui's expression turned serious. "I understand."
"Please be careful, Sir Mirai. In the upcoming battle, I will do my best to demonstrate my worth."
Upon hearing this, Mirai couldn't help but laugh. "Do your best?"
"Shisui, come at me with the determination to kill me. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't even be able to touch the edge of my clothing."
After hearing Mirai's words, flames of fighting spirit ignited in Shisui's eyes.
He was deeply fascinated by the innate arrogance radiating from Mirai—a contemptuous dominance towards everything.
If possible, he truly wished to become a ninja just like Captain Mirai!
"Come!"
At Mirai's shout, Shisui immediately hurled more than ten rapidly spinning shuriken forward.
The shuriken collided midair and flew toward Mirai from every direction.
Immediately afterward, Shisui began forming hand seals nonstop. [Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique]!
Boom!
A huge fireball about several meters across engulfed Mirai's figure.
Shisui pulled out his long katana and swung it powerfully behind him.
Clang!
A crisp metallic collision rang out, and Mirai's attack was blocked by Shisui.
Looking into Shisui's eyes, where the crimson Triple-Comma Sharingan spun, Mirai showed a slight smile. "Triple-Comma Sharingan… Not bad."
Without answering, Shisui started forming hand seals again.
The next second, more than ten identical illusions appeared in front of Mirai.
Phantom images emerged as dozens of Shisui Uchihans surged forward, launching relentless attacks on Mirai Uchiha.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
...
The two clashed repeatedly, each illusory figure indistinguishable from a real one, every strike feeling utterly tangible.
While attacking, Shisui kept trying to use his Sharingan's ocular power to influence Mirai's mind.
After a long while, Shisui drove his blade into Mirai's chest.
Mirai's body transformed into dozens of Puppet: Corpse Crows scattering into the air, only to reassemble into his form a short distance away.
"Shisui, we'll stop here for today."
"Your Shifting Body Technique combined with the Sharingan is quite impressive. From now on, you shall be known as 'Shisui of the Body Flicker.'"
"Thank you, Mirai-sama!"
Struggling to contain his joy, Shisui sheathed his long katana and fought to steady his breathing.
Not only had Mirai acknowledged him, but he had personally bestowed the title "Shisui of the Body Flicker" upon him.
Only the fear of losing composure in front of Mirai stopped Shisui from jumping up in sheer excitement.
There was no need for any other reason.
So far, throughout the entire Uchiha Clan, he was the only one who had ever received such an honor!
Once word got out, the other ninja in the clan would surely be seething with envy.
At that moment, Shisui abruptly felt a dizzying spell seize him, and the scene before his eyes started to warp and shift.
The Mirai who had been standing beside him was gone, replaced by a brand new notebook lying on the ground in front of him.
Shisui's heart pounded.
As a skilled Uchiha practitioner of genjutsu, he knew all too well what had just occurred.
Chances were, from the very start, he'd unknowingly fallen into Mirai's genjutsu.
That fierce battle had been nothing more than a figment of his own mind.
"I suppose that's what truly makes him Mirai-sama, after all."
With a bitter smile, Shisui picked up the notebook and opened it.
On the very first page was a single, short sentence: "Shisui, eliminate everyone on this list."
