Kapitel 23: The Strongest Soul

Despite being guarded by a lot of shinobi from the Ino-Shika-Cho alliance, I didn't let my guard down. I kept myself on full alert in case anything happened. Hours passed by, my brain was resting, as I wasn't thinking about anything but sensing my surrounding in case of any sudden change.

I could feel someone is trying to hide their presence. Just like Hika, I could feel their intentions toward me. I must admit that this ability is very useful to distinguish which is an enemy and which is a friend. Logically speaking, if it was someone who didn't have any ill intent, then they won't go so far as to hide their presence; Thus I assumed that they are an assassin.

#They referring to one person for not knowing what gender they are yet. Not that it matters in this context, but I am getting into the habit of writing correctly.

I waited for the moment the assassin's attention is distracted from me, but minutes went by, and they were still focusing at me. They are making the hand sign of Mind Body Withering Technique! I quickly opened my eyes and glanced at him, but his body fell to the ground the moment I looked at them. I tried to jump out of the bed, but I was too late.

I knew that his conscious is attacking mine, so I tried my best to sense it. But I couldn't sense anything. I bite my teeth hard from anxiety and excitement. My body is weak, so I wasn't going to be able to fight him physically. The moment he chose to fight me mentally, he guaranteed his demise!

I was about to retract my consciousness into my subconscious, but just moments before doing so, I noticed another presence in the room.

A man appeared from the dark and said with a quiet voice "You never imagined that the technique you've created is the one that is going to be used to kill you and enslave your clan huh? Now you know the feeling we Uchiha have suffered for years!".

I looked at his red eyes, they are as red as blood. He had a Mangekyou Sharingan, it was Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan! I quickly diverted my eyes... Now I can't lose consciousness in front of Shisui, so I have to kill him first!

My body that was supposed to wither wasn't withering, it means that the Yamanaka traitor is facing a problem in withering my body... I can't let Shisui find out, otherwise he will kill me before I could even react!

I started using my own Yin chakra to wither some of my muscles. It hurt very badly, but at this point, I am used to the pain mentally. Amidst my pain, something snapped in me, I didn't feel like myself anymore... My vision changed; in front of me was the soul of the traitor, and it was grabbed by a worm looking tentacle! It looks the same as the tentacles that Death tried to fight me with but this time, I was Death! All I could think of is "Torment, Abuse, and Devour!"

I could see his soul being Tormented by the trauma I caused it to suffer. The traitor's soul was being shredded to pieces. Abused and tortured, the pain must be immeasurable, but in that exact moment his soul was being ripped apart, I laughed like a maniac as if I was enjoying this?

I looked toward Shisui in the eyes, and before he could Shunshin(Body Flicker) to me to kill me, I already invaded his body. If it was a regular Mind Body Withering Technique, he would be able to move, but this is not. The difference between the regular Mind Body techniques and my Mind Body Withering Technique, is that my Mind Body Withering Technique focuses more in controlling the chakra of the enemy than controlling their body. Therefore, the Mind Body Withering Technique doesn't require you to fight the host's conscious.

He stuck in his own place shivering in fear as he is being stalked by the existence everyone perceive as death! I invaded his subconscious, and my look wasn't pleasant as he was in a very dire situation that his body was quickly being filled with dopamine. I entangled his soul with the tentacles, and proceeded to rip his soul apart, but I couldn't be careless, so I started melting his body too; using his own Yin Chakra!

Shisui wasn't called the genius of the Uchiha for no reason! Despite facing something that filled his mind with fear, he quickly used Kotoamatsukami to overwrite his memories, so such existence wouldn't scare him. With his blood vessels filled with Adrenaline, he was preparing to kill me, but soon he found out that his body has already deteriorated. His liver became nothing but a disgusting bloody goo, his lungs are half destroyed, his kidneys are dying for any water they could find and most importantly; the barriers between his heart chambers were filled with holes, he was as good as dead.

Despite his sever injuries, Shisui wanted to put one last struggle; using his other Mangekyou to play with my memories, but I knew it was coming! I threw the blanket toward his dying body, creating a barrier between my vision and his. In case that wasn't enough, I closed my eyes shut and waited for the Yang energy to explode with my body.

I opened my eyes as I received the yang energy, my muscles were being strengthened again, but the moment I opened my eyes, I noticed that Shisui was still alive! The one that died was the Yamanaka traitor! He quickly looks at my eyes as his Mangekyou starts rotating! In that fraction of a second, I felt immeasurable fear! What if reality will be taken away from me! What if I lost myself to his Kotoamatsukami. Luckily in that exact moment, I received the second burst of Yang energy! In that moment I quickly dashed toward Shisui's dead body and took both his eyes out! His right eye should be healthy, otherwise I am under his Kotoamatsukami's control!

I removed my right eyes without hesitation as it is a matter of life and death! My eyes are smaller than those of an adult. As I thought of this issue, I started melting my own face with my own Yin Chakra! The pain was intense, but the Yang energy kept recovering my face over and over again. My face soon became that of an adult! I quickly took out Shisui's right eye and put it in my empty right eye's socket and connected the nerves! 'I could see!!! I could see using Shisui's right eye! I am safe!'.

My head to body ratio were very odd with what I've done, so I started burning all my yang energy into growing my bones and muscles! I neglected organs that doesn't have the yang property, and grew my stomach and intestines! I was now 143 cm tall, and my face looked like that of a 14 years old. If only I can get access to the Akimichi techniques, then I will be able to solve my current issue!

I quickly remove the blood from my face, and take Shisui's other eye while squashing my old right baby eyes. The original color of my eyes were black, so is Shisui's! I tried to manipulate my left eye to look the same as Shisui's right eye so I don't get exposed, but there are still some small differences that are not noticeable unless you investigate it throughly.

My body was in perfect ratio right now, but my organs were under developed, and my body is a ticking bomb that could fail at any moment in the future. I need to take care of developing my organs, either by learning the Akimichi technique, or by killing people!

I sensed a lot of people about to rush in the room, so I sat on the bed and waited from them to enter. The clansmen saw the two dead bodies on the floor, one is eyeless, probably an Uchiha, while the other is blonde, probably a Yamanaka.

Inoichi entered and shouted "Are you alright? What happened?". To which I replied "These are traitors among the people you trust, a clansmen along with an Uchiha. You must win over the clan's head position before we start cleaning the clan from every vermin!"

He looked shocked but then shouted with an angry voice "Who sent them! Do you have any clue? I will go to the Hokage and ask him to help us investi-" but before he could continue I told him "Keep this matter a secret from everyone outside except for uncle Shikaku and uncle Choza. Dispose the 2 bodies so no one can find them, even burn them if you needed to. And don't forget to delete the memories of everyone who is here that is not very trustable, anyone who refuses will die"

I looked at the clansmen who were there, most of them gulped and were sweating nervously until Shikaku and Choza came rushing. I told them what to do; at first Inoichi and Choza were reluctant, but Shikaku convinced them then told me "We have to talk!" with a very strict tone.

I nodded my head and said "Sure!"
