Under the power of Magatsuhi no Kami—Yoru's Mangekyō Sharingan—
Uchiha Shisui was trapped in the purgatory of his own sins.
Crimson Lotus Flames seared his flesh and soul, punishing his crimes… and in turn, cleansing them.
In his mind, he was already reduced to ashes.
In reality, his body burned with the same inferno.
But worse than the flames was the despair.
"I… committed so many sins?"
"My so-called 'Will of Fire,' my loyalty to Konoha… led only to this?"
"And Itachi… in the end, he—"
"The Uchiha Clan… slaughtered in a single night…"
"I… truly deserve this hell."
In his final moments, clarity struck.
Collapsed on the ground, wreathed in flames, Shisui lifted his gaze to Yoru.
"Yoru…"
"Thank you… for showing me the truth."
"I'm sorry… for everything."
Yoru didn't acknowledge the apology.
This was the inevitable end for those who faced Magatsuhi's Judgment.
But at least Shisui died with understanding.
"You've realized your sins."
"Now die."
Shisui smiled faintly in the fire.
"…Thank you."
His eyes drifted toward the shadows where Hiruzen and Danzō still hid—cowards who wouldn't even show themselves.
Then, to Itachi.
"Itachi… we were wrong."
"Don't repeat my mistakes."
"Love yourself… love your family. Nothing else matters more."
His voice faded.
His breath stilled.
His eyes closed.
Uchiha Shisui was dead.
The man known as **"Shunshin no Shisui"**—Konoha's strongest, the Uchiha Clan's pride—had fallen to Yoru's hands.
"SHISUI—!!"
Itachi's scream tore through the air, raw and shattered.
But even he dared not touch the lingering flames.
Hiruzen and Danzō stood frozen.
Shisui… lost?
No—he wasannihilated.
To them, Yoru had been strong, but never Shisui's equal.
Yet now…
"That right eye… the 'Eye of Judgment.'"
"It condemns the target's sins… burns body and soul alike."
"Is there no defense against it?!"
Sweat dripped down their faces.
Could they survive such a technique?
For now, they stayed hidden.
But Yoru wasn't unscathed.
Using both Mangekyō abilities—Sukunahikona and Magatsuhi—had taken its toll.
Without the Eternal Mangekyō or Hashirama's cells, the backlash was brutal.
He was exhausted.
But it was worth it.
Shisui had been his opposite—naive, indecisive, swayed by others' words.
His death marked the end of that path for the Uchiha.
Unlike Amaterasu's black flames, Magatsuhi's fire didn't burn endlessly.
It consumed life and soul—and when both were gone, the flames vanished.
[You have slain Uchiha Shisui, preventing his suicide. A righteous act! +1,500 Virtue Points.]
Yoru's eyes narrowed.
1,500 points?
Killing Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Hiruzen's son, had only granted 200.
Shisui truly was in a league of his own.
He allocated the points to his ocular power.
[Current Mangekyō Sharingan: 5,030/10,000]
At 1,000, he'd awakened the Mangekyō and Sukunahikona (Left Eye).
At 3,000, Magatsuhi no Kami (Right Eye) had emerged.
How much more until Susano'o?
6,000? 8,000?
Regardless, this was a massive gain.
With Shisui dead, Konoha's elders had lost their strongest weapon.
Add Shinnosuke, Sarutobi Hidenori, and the dead ANBU…
Hiruzen's faction was crumbling.
Itachi stared at Yoru, his expression unreadable.
Yoru ignored him.
Instead, he turned to Uchiha Fugaku and the arriving clansmen.
"Bury him properly."
Fugaku nodded solemnly, gazing at Shisui's corpse.
What a tragedy.
Both Shisui and Yoru were monsters in battle.
If only they could have fought together…
But Shisui's downfall was Konoha's brainwashing.
The true culprits were Hiruzen and Danzō.
Uchiha Yashiro spoke up. "Clan Head… Shisui's Kotoamatsukami—"
Fugaku glanced at Yoru.
"Useless."
"His eyes are ruined."
"He overused his Mangekyō before this fight. Then Susano'o. Then my flames."
"There's nothing left to salvage."
Yoru's voice hardened.
"More importantly—I refuse to use mind control."
"It's the most despicable power of all."
Fugaku agreed. "Then we'll honor his burial."
"As for what comes next… you decide, Yoru."
"You're the Captain now."
Behind them, the Uchiha Police Force knelt in unison, fists to the ground.
"AWAITING YOUR ORDERS, CAPTAIN!"
Among them—
Uchiha Aoki.
Yoru's lips curved slightly.
"Aoki… you're awake."
Aoki grinned back. "Yes, Captain!"
"I'm back!"
For the first time in years, the Uchiha Clan stood united.
