Chapter 218: Chapter – 215 Izanagi and Izanami
In the Dungeon Prison Kuroto created.
Uchiha Ryota regained his consciousness.
Unlike what Kuroto expected, Ryota didn't yell or shouted but calmly observed his surroundings and analyzed the situation he was in, looking at the figure that stood before him, Ryota spoke with a chuckle, "It is really ironic, who would have thought that the so-called Amatsukami, a bounty-nin organization are actually the shinobi of Konohagakure!"
"Well you are calmer than I expected, it is certainly better compared to acting like a barbarian!" – Spoke the other person in a mocking tone.
Kuroto who was wearing Yama disguise and leaning on the wall on the opposite side had his arms folded over his chest and smiled slightly.
Uchiha Ryota coldly stared at the unperturbed Yama and spoke, "Answer me! That Homusubi is Uchiha Shisui, right?"
Yama was a little curious as to how Ryota figured it out and questioned, "How did you figure it out?"
"Even among the Uchiha Clan, there are very few shinobi who know the abilities of my summon cat. So, Homusubi being able to figure out what I intended to do at that moment was an easy giveaway, not to mention he has the Mangekyou Sharingan, nobody other than Uchiha Shisui meets both the requirements." – After explaining this he took a pause and continued with s sneer, "It's not unexpected that Uchiha Shisui betrayed the clan and chose to side himself with the village, but I wonder what he will do once the Clan is destroyed, will the village let him live? Although I will die because of him, it wouldn't be very long when I get to meet him in the pure land, I would definitely want to cherish his expression at that time."
From Ryota's words, it isn't difficult to guess that even if he managed to figure out the true identity of Homusubi, he still believes that Amatsukami is acting behind the scenes under the directives of senior management of Konoha.
Yama smiled at Ryota's shrewdness and said, "You know, it is pointless to try to instigate infighting by inciting him, he is not even here in the first place, so your pathetic attempt is a wasted effort."
Ryota curled his and snorted coldly.
When he said a moment ago are indeed his trues thoughts, but he did have some idea to incite infighting and use guilt of betrayal in Shisui's heart as an opportunity.
Yama walked towards Uchiha Ryota, "Since you hold a very high level of authority in the Uchiha Clan and considering the fact that you are the captain of the third division in the Konoha Military Police Force, I have a few questions from you that I believe you might know the answer of, I do hope you can answer them truthfully."
Ryota grunted condescendingly, "And what are those few questions?"
Yama did not use the roundabout approach and questioned in a straightforward manner, "How much do you know about 'Izanagi'?"
As soon as Ryota heard Yama mentioning 'Izanagi,' his pupil shrank and he stuttered in surprise, "H-how do you know about I-Izanagi? Did that traitor Shisui even gave away the information about it to the village?"
But just as he spoke, Ryota stopped midway in denial and spoke while shaking his head, "No! This can't be! In the first place, Shisui probably doesn't even know the secret of Izanagi! His attitude has always been uncertain so Patriarch would definitely not tell him about Izanagi!"
Noticing Ryota's muttering, Yama spoke, "It seems that you do know a lot about Izanagi." – Taking a short pause, he continued, "Explain what you know, I don't think that I need to say this but you should understand the position you are in, the needless struggle will only make you suffer more before your inevitable death."
Ryota did not answer directly but spoke with a grim look, "What's the point even if I tell you about it, it is not as if it would be useful to you, it would be wise of you to give up 'Izanagi,' as it is a forbidden Genjutsu that only Uchiha Clansmen can use, without Uchiha Blood and Sharingan, it is impossible to use it!"
Listening to Ryota's words, Yama walked back and did not speak anything to retort Ryota's words.
In the original story, even those not of the Uchiha Clan mastered this forbidden Genjutsu, Shimura Danzo transplanted quite a lot of Sharingan and combined them with the Hashirama Cells to be able to use Izanagi.
Therefore, Izanagi is not limited to just the Uchiha Clan, however, the Sharingan seems to be a necessary requirement, but that is probably because Sharingan has traces of Hagoromo's Chakra that records the 'Creation of Of all Things Technique' and Izanagi is derived from the 'Creation of All Things Technique.'
But the 'Izanagi' used by Shimura Danzo was only limited to one minute per Sharingan while the Izanagi used by Uchiha Obito lasted much longer, this is probably because Danzo did not have the necessary spiritual and physical energy because of being a non-Uchiha and non-Senju.
Therefore, what Uchiha Ryota said is actually not wrong, but it isn't right either.
The non-Uchiha have a hard time mastering Izanagi but they can if they are able to fulfill the necessary requirements.
After a long silence, Yama spoke, "Well I understand that Izanagi is exclusive to the Uchiha Clan as you say, but would you mind humoring me a little; as I need to satiate my curiosity, answer me, have you mastered Izanagi?"
"Of course, I have not!" – Ryota replied very simply and then said with a laugh, "Izanagi is regarded as an ominous technique even among the Uchiha and not many people are aware of it, and nobody is allowed to learn it." – said Ryota, while also thought, 'And it took me a lot of effort to convince Patriarch to let the clansmen master Izanagi at the time of launching the Coup.'
Yama thought, 'Thankfully Uchiha Fugaku is sane enough to not let all the Uchiha learn Izanagi otherwise the fighting power of the Uchiha Clan would have multiplied several times!'
Although he thought this, he still said casually, "Why should I believe whether you are speaking the truth or not?"
Ryota snorted, "Humph, like I care, believe if you want to, don't believe if you do not want to!"
Seeing Ryota's response, Yama chuckled, "I guess you are speaking the truth because if you had really learned Izanagi, I am afraid that the entire Uchiha Clan would have learned it overnight!"
Considering Ryota's radical behavior, if Izanagi would have come in his hand, then he would have definitely spread its information among all the Uchiha, therefore, forcing Uchiha Fugaku to speed the preparation of Coup d'état.
Since the Uchiha are still in the preparation period this means that the Izanagi that Uchiha Patriarch holds in his hands has not been revealed to the others by Ryota.
Ryota sighed at Yama's words and said with a bitter expression, "The Patriarch has been waiting for the best opportunity for so long, but the thing is that best opportunity never comes, it has to be created, all he is doing is hesitating, and Patriarch's hesitation will doom the entire clan!"
Yama was no longer interested in discussing the matter of the Uchiha Coup, and said casually, "You don't know much about 'Izanagi' so you shouldn't know about 'Izanami,' another Forbidden Genjutsu that was specifically created to punish the 'Izanagi' users, right?"
Ryota frowned when he heard the unfamiliar term, "Izanami!?"
Seeing Ryota's confused expression, Yama knew that he was right, Ryota seems to have never even heard the term 'Izanami' much less mastering it!
But when he thought about it a little, this is also normal, Izanagi itself is regarded as a Kinjutsu by the Uchiha so very few people should be aware of Izanami.
Seeing Yama's silence, Ryota asked, "This 'Izanami'? Is it also a Kinjutsu of the Uchiha Clan? Even I don't know about it, then how do you know? Did Shisui leak the information about it to you?"
Yama did not answer.
Since Ryota does not have any useful information about the topics that Yama is interested in, so Yama does not bother to discuss anything more with him.
Understanding that the other party was not going to answer him, Ryota thought a little and finally asked, "So um, i-is nii-san alive, or have you k-killed him?"
Yama chuckled, "Why do you even care whether he is alive or not, do you think you can save him if he is alive or do you think that you will be able to avenge him if he is dead? Is it really important?"
Ryota was silent for a while then said, "If it is not important, then it should be okay to at least tell me this, right?"
Listening to Ryota's words, Yama pondered for a while then clapped his hands.
Clap…
"Aaaahhhhhh…!"
Followed by the clap, a loud scream was heard throughout the cave.
Uchiha Ryota who heard the scream recognized the voice and it belonged to his brother Hideki, and he couldn't keep up his calm façade anymore, and shouted viciously, "I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU ALL!!!"

Chapter 219: Chapter – 216 Exposed
Yama did not care about Uchiha Ryota's swearing.
At this time he was observing Uchiha Ryota's chakra fluctuations with the Tenseigan.
Unlike Uhciha Hideki, Ryota does not seem to be able to resist the chakra draining effect of the Four-Symbols Seal.
So even under the effects of extreme anger that he felt right now, there were no signs of Chakra fluctuations nor was the Sharingan activated under the emotional stimulation.
After observing this for a while, Yama shook his head in disappointment.
Similar to Uchiha Hideki the emotional stimulus of 'Anger' is insufficient to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan or even be able to break free of the restraint effects of the Four-Symbols Seal.
With that conclusion, the first stimulation test was over, and Yama again clapped his hands.
Clap… Clap…
With the sound of Clap echoing in the room, the screaming of Uchiha Hideki that could be heard subsided and faded away.
Ryota who was tied to a stone pillar similar to Uchiha Hideki couldn't help but ask, "What on earth do you want from us? If Sharingan was what you kidnapped us for then you already have it! Why torture nii-san!?"
Yama did not bother to answer Ryota's question just calmly and silently walked out of the cage ignoring Ryota.
…
Inside the Uchiha Hideki's prison cage.
Uchiha Hideki who was tied to a pillar was panting heavily and tried to catch his heavy breathing, his body was full of scars from cut wounds and piercing wounds, some even had blood seeping out of them.
There were many bruises that made the skin purple, a few burn marks that made the skin black and a few of his fingers were also broken or bent in unusual directions with nails missing in all of them or impaled with metal needles.
Overall, he was in a very severe state, clearly indicating the picture that he went through severe torture that is akin to experiencing hell and Kuroto can guarantee that even the Slug Sannin Tsunade would have too much trouble healing him.
In front of Uchiha Hideki stood an upright wooden puppet that was one of the many puppets seized during the third great shinobi war when Konoha was in a conflict against Sunagakure.
The puppet itself is not of any extraordinary value or functioning, it can not use any ninjutsu, the only function it is capable of is to shoot out the pre-stored shuriken and Senbon.
Since such a puppet does not have any research value, therefore, after being seized by the Konoha, all it was used for was to give experience to the shinobi on how to combat the Sunagakure puppet brigade.
And since Kuroto needed someone or something to keep watch of this Dungeon Prison in his absence so he used his Anbu identity to take this puppet from the warehouse.
After making it a self automata with the use of Tenseigan Chakra, just like he did with the Kazekage puppet, Kuroto also used the basics of what he learned about the Yin-Yang Release to give it some sort of sentience so that it can keep watch of this prison dungeon and the captive Uchiha that will be kept here.
Although its combat power is not much only reaching the level of a Chunin, it is still more than enough to perform many tasks, like execution, cleaning, pouring tea, helping in torture etcetera.
Walking inside this Hideki's cage, Kuroto who was still wearing the Yama disguise, waved his hand and ordered, "Alright, walk back."
Following the order, the puppet put away all the torture devices and stepped aside.
At this time, Uchiha Hideki glanced at Yama with a weary expression and asked, "I… I felt l-like… I heard Ryuto… p-please tell me… it w-was just my… my imagination!"
Yama shook his head indifferently and said, "No, it was not your imagination, he is in the prison cell right next to yours… and he would soon be going through exactly what you have been going for the past few days."
Hideki said with a pleading expression, "Please, whatever you want, I… I will do a-anything… I will g-give you every… everything… please… please j-just l-let him go!"
Yama thought, 'The emotional bond between these two brothers is really strong, with this confirmed I think I can proceed further.' – Not caring about Hideki's begging, Yama stated, "Unfortunately that wouldn't be happening."
Hideki was silent after hearing Yama's cold words.
He understood that at this point, that Yama would not let either of the brothers go.
Not to mention the two of them, Hideki has even started to fear that the entire Uchiha Clan would fall prey at his hands and be eventually destroyed.
And he can't help but sigh at this thought.
While Hideki was silent, Yama observed his condition with the Tenseigan, and after confirming that everything was in order he left the prison cell.
Coming to another room, Yama took out two notebooks with [Uchiha Hideki] and [Uchiha Ryota] written on the cover.
He thought a little bit and started writing in the notebook that contained the report about Uchiha Ryota.
[Similar to the case with Uchiha Hideki, the 'Anger Test' failed, solidifying the conjecture that anger is not the most suitable emotion to be used as a stimulus for the awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Additionally, Uchiha Ryota's visual prowess is better compared to Uchiha Hideki, so the probability of awakening Mangekyou Sharingan is higher.
Uchiha Ryota is also quite cunning and seems to have noticed that I was intentionally stimulating him, perhaps he has a degree of understanding on how to awaken Mangekyou Sharingan]
After writing up to here, Yama stopped.
In the past few days, Yama has figured out that he should not put too much hope in this plan of his and for that reason, his mentality is quite stable even after repeated failure.
Perhaps it is because there is no telling just what is the right amount of stimulation needed to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Therefore, he has also started to study different changes in the Sharingan under different types of emotional stimuli.
After closing the notebook, he did not stay much longer in the dungeon prison and returned to his post that was taken over by his Shadow Clone in his absence.
…
In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed.
The sudden disappearance of Uchiha Ryota was another slap in the faces of the Konoha management, and this time the entire village was stirred up.
All Konoha shinobi openly regarded the actions of Amatsukami as an open declaration of War.
For this reason, the amount of effort each shinobi was putting to raid and hunt down the black-market increased several folds, and strangely enough, many unrelated small organizations that were hiding became unlucky targets.
At the same time, a seemingly ridiculous rumor that seemed hard to deny because of the amount of weight it had and seemed justified under careful consideration started to flow out of the rumor mill, and the protagonist of this rumor was none other than Uchiha Shisui.
After hearing the rumors, Shisui was in a panic and quickly met up with Kuroto.
As soon as Kuroto appeared, Shisuihow had a crying expression exclaimed, "Kuroto-san, w-we are exposed, w-what do we do!!?"
These past few days, Kuroto has been busy either with the task that was assigned to Anbu Team-11 or with torturing out the Uchiha brothers therefore he did not pay enough attention to the sudden rumor, now listening to Shisui mention this, he was stunned and asked, "How do you know you are exposed?"
Shisui was a little anxious, "It has spread everywhere in the village and everyone knows that Uchiha Shisui is Homusubi of Amatsukami!"
When Kuroto heard Shisui's words, he felt that such a thing should not be possible and muttered in thought, "No, even if someone figured it out, spreading such a serious matter without any evidence is simply foolish!"
Shisui said, "But this news has already been spread in the village, what should I do now??"
