Naruto: Dual-Pupil Uchiha

"You said… when you were saving me, you used the Flying Thunder God Technique?" Uchiha Shisui blurted out, unable to hide his shock.

Flying Thunder God Technique! 

It was a jutsu he had long admired. A top-tier space-time ninjutsu that allowed for long-distance teleportation.

If he could combine his Body Flicker Technique with the Flying Thunder God, his speed would surpass everyone, even the Fourth Hokage.

However, by the time he fully mastered the Body Flicker Technique, the Nine-Tails attack had already caused chaos, and the Fourth Hokage had died.

The Flying Thunder God Technique was sealed away in the Scroll of Seals.

Shisui also understood the Third Hokage's nature. He knew that the Third would never let him learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he never had the chance.

To avoid raising suspicion or making the Third Hokage wary of him, he never expressed his desire to learn the technique.

Even though Shisui had always longed to master it, he had never had the opportunity to study it.

But how did Genya learn the Flying Thunder God Technique? 

And even more surprising, he used it to save Shisui?

After all, the Flying Thunder God wasn't a technique just anyone could learn. Apart from the Second and Fourth Hokage, it seemed no one else had successfully mastered it in recent years.

To learn this technique, one had to have a deep understanding of space.

"Well, I can't say I have mastered it," Genya explained, glancing at Shisui. "I just happened to leave a mark under the waterfall while I was training the Flying Thunder God Technique. When I saw you jump off the cliff, it was the first time I used it."

Genya didn't hide anything. 

"I don't know if it's your luck or mine."

If Shisui had truly died from the cliff fall, Genya might have lost all hope in the ninja world.

If the outcome couldn't be changed, maybe it would be better to just live freely somewhere far away. But now, he knew that he could change the future.

With that thought, his resolve became even stronger. Big events could be altered, and he needed to grow stronger—stronger than ever before.

"Cough... maybe it's just my luck!"

Perhaps it's because of the near-death experience, but Shisui gave off a feeling of melancholy.

This might be the true enlightenment.

"Yes, it's your luck!" This time, Genya nodded, looking quite happy.

However, Uchiha Shisui still appeared worried: "But I've lost my eyes, and I'm poisoned. I can't help you, or the clan, anymore!"

Shisui didn't understand why Genya had hidden his strength and potential, but he was clear about one thing—he was no longer the talented Uchiha ninja he once was. He was now a burden.

He had lost his eyes, was poisoned, and even had to face the pursuit of Danzo!

Now, he was just a burden to the clan.

"I'll take you back to heal your wounds. As for your eyes?" Genya looked at Shisui's empty eyes, narrowing his own: "If I'm correct, it won't be long before I can give you a new pair of Mangekyō Sharingan!"

Genya thought of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is what Uchiha clan members use when they lose their vision after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, by using the eyes of a close relative.

This not only preserves the abilities of the eyes, but also prevents them from losing sight forever.

Though Shisui didn't have a close relative, there was still one pair of eyes he could use: Fugaku's eyes.

Though the success rate would be much lower, if it worked, Shisui's strength would be at the level of a Kage, or even surpass it!

But would it succeed?

If it didn't, Shisui would only be able to get a regular pair of eyes.

"Can it really heal?" Shisui hesitated, doubt still showing on his face.

"Kakashi was able to transplant the eyes of Uchiha clan members. Why can't I?" Uchiha Genya said slowly, but to prevent Shisui from misunderstanding, he added, "Don't worry, I won't harm the clan members just to heal you. These are for the time when a certain Uchiha, who had an unfortunate accident, becomes available!"

Even though he said this, Genya's eyes narrowed, hinting at his own hidden thoughts.

Being killed by his own son… I suppose it could be considered an accident!

Of course, if it weren't absolutely necessary, he wouldn't want Itachi to start that so-called clan massacre plan!

"Is that so?" Shisui's face showed a hint of hope. Could he still be healed?

After talking with Genya, Shisui no longer longed for death. He wanted to see how the future of the Uchiha clan would unfold!

In the past, he, along with Itachi and even the clan leader, had underestimated Genya. Anyone who could master the Flying Thunder God technique at such a young age couldn't possibly be an ordinary person!

"Don't worry, your eyes will definitely get better!" Genya reassured Shisui. They had talked for a long time in the cave. During this time, there were ninjas who seemed to be searching nearby!

The cave was well-hidden, and Genya used a simple illusion to cover their presence.

No one found them!

And so, the two continued talking until evening.

The moon was bright and the stars were few. Genya carried the severely wounded Shisui toward Konoha. Shisui needed urgent treatment now, or the person he had fought so hard to save might really die!

On the cliff

Danzo had ordered a wide search for Shisui's body, but there were no results!

They searched from daytime until nightfall!

"Lord Danzo, we couldn't find him!" A ninja returned to report. "We searched a ten-mile radius, even the area along the river for three kilometers, but there's no sign of Shisui's body!"

"Couldn't find him?" Danzo's eyebrows furrowed when he heard the news.

He was always cautious in his actions, and not finding Shisui's body made him uneasy.

He had a feeling… Shisui wasn't dead!

His subordinates noticed Danzo's concern and quickly spoke up. "Lord Danzo, there are many undercurrents beneath the river. Maybe Shisui's body was swept away, and that's why we can't find it!"

Unlike Danzo, they had already made up their minds that Shisui was dead.

The cliff was so high. Even if Shisui had jumped, injured as he was, there was no way he could survive. If they jumped, they would probably meet the same grim fate!

Continuing the search was futile.

"Tangled in water currents? Maybe that's the case." Danzo lowered his head, gazing at the bottomless cliff. Listening to the roaring sound of the waterfall, his tense mood slowly began to ease.

Perhaps, Shisui was truly dead.

What a shame. Such perfect eyes, and now only one remains.

But I wonder if this single eye can activate Shisui's top-tier genjutsu, what was it called... Kotoamatsukami? He vaguely remembered hearing this name from Shisui's mouth.

Looking at his returning subordinates, Danzo could only shake his head helplessly. "Fall back…"

Although Shisui's body hadn't been found, it was now almost certain that he had perished.

It was time to return and report to the Third Hokage.

And Itachi had activated the Mangekyō Sharingan. This development also needed to be reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi. 

Who knows how it might affect the next phase of the plan?
