Shinnō's body, like a ripped cloth, was repeatedly slammed left and right. The ground began to crack, and as the pounding continued, the fissures spread outwards like a spiderweb.

Uchiha Shisui's eyes were filled with shock.

Thump, thump, thump!

Even his heartbeat seemed to vibrate rhythmically, in time with Gojo Kaigetsu's finger movements.

Gradually, Shinnō couldn't take it anymore. The overloaded dark chakra went on strike, refusing to provide repair services for Shinnō's body.

The muscles that had looked as solid as rock, now seemed to deflate quickly like balloons losing air. His thick, slicked-back black hair was also rapidly fading, being stripped away from his body.

In the blink of an eye, he went from a well-built taijutsu Shinobi who could go toe-to-toe with a young Might Guy in his Seventh Gate, to a withered old man with only a few stray hairs left.

Only when blood uncontrollably spilled from the corners of Shinnō's mouth did Gojo Kaigetsu finally ease up, raising his finger. The weakened Shinnō was then lifted up by an invisible hand of molecular force.

Gojo Kaigetsu stretched his body, jumped onto a piece of rubble, and squatted down, looking at Shinnō at eye level.

"Shinnō, you're getting on in years. Why not just stay in Konoha Hospital, using your medical skills to earn treatment fees? Was that so bad? Why did you have to be like us young people, becoming a Shinobi and risking your life? Do you have the strength for that?"

"Right~ When you're old, you should be a medical ninja."

"Looking at your eyes, you're still not convinced? Do you think that if you were in Ancor Vantian, with the Zero-Tails supplying you with dark chakra, you wouldn't have lost?"

Shinnō's eyes began to show fear.

This was his deepest secret, never revealed to anyone to this day. Why…?

"I'm very interested in the Sky Ninja Village behind you and the secrets you have mastered."

"Body Activation Technique, Body Revival Technique, the poor man's version of the Eight Gates, the Zero-Tails, Sky Ninja tools—Just hand these over to me, and I can spare your life. Let you spend the rest of your life in Konoha Hospital, treating illnesses and saving people – for a fee, of course. What do you say?"

'Today, Shinnō holds hundreds of treasures.'

Shinnō could be considered the most loaded BOSS in the Naruto original series, aside from the Ōtsutsuki clan.

His stats were quite impressive.

Besides the body techniques, the side-effect-free version of the Eight Gates, although far less powerful than the one Guy practiced, was still a solid boost for the average ninja.

Sky Ninja tools could make up for Konoha's lack of air force.

Future ninja wars were modern ninja wars! Whoever controlled the skies would have the upper hand in the ninja war!

Currently, among the Five Great Villages, Iwagakure had the best claim to air superiority.

Sky Ninja flight tools and flying fortresses, Gojo Kaigetsu was determined to obtain them!

Shinnō's eyes were filled with anger, his body shivering.

Was there anyone more of a bandit than Konoha?! These ninjutsu and technologies, he hadn't even revealed them to the Akatsuki.

During the First Shinobi World War, Iwagakure and Sunagakure had offered him astronomical sums of money, but he hadn't even bothered…

And now he was being threatened with his life to hand over the foundation of the Sky Ninja Village? Which item wasn't priceless to a ninja village? All for the chance to live in hiding, working in Konoha Hospital?

Leaving aside the hatred between the Sky Ninja and Konoha.

It was like handing over your entire fortune to the company in exchange for a job, and then the company would use that fortune to pay his salary?

Also, he was so old, how many years did he have left? Even if he could retire progressively at Konoha Hospital, releasing his potential as an older workforce, how much money could he even get back from Konoha?!

It was like a ninja who'd worked hard for most of his life for the ninja world.

To fulfill his ambition later in life, he trained hard, finally Progressed with his Eight Gates technique at an old age, turning into a super-strong taijutsu ninja. He was finally going to reveal his ambition, and plunder the ninja world to achieve his aspirations.

Suddenly, the Will of the Ninja World appeared and told Shinnō that he was seventy or eighty and still hadn't died, that his lifespan was long and he was still very capable, the ninja world couldn't realize his ambition, you have to be considerate.

The Will of the Ninja World—Enough is Enough!!!

If he didn't let this older ninja fulfill his ambition, how would young ninja be motivated to work hard for the ninja world when they were young, so they could achieve their ambitions when they were old?!

When young ninjas graduated from the Ninja Academy, missions were becoming increasingly difficult to receive, and the pay was getting lower and lower; older ninjas were seeing their ambitions realized, only to be told to gradually realize their ambitions.

Is this the point? Is this really the point?!

Shinnō was furious.

But Gojo Kaigetsu's next words chilled him to the bone.

"Let me remind you, old man. You know Konoha's methods. Think carefully before you speak. Don't say things you shouldn't. If you say them, no one will hear them, and even if they do, they won't give you any feedback."

"If you want dignity, the Yamanaka clan will give it to you."

Gojo Kaigetsu reminded him coldly, "And don't even think about dying! You saw the Edo Tensei technique in that Akatsuki base, right? Konoha has it too. Do you want to speak your mind while alive, or be forced to speak while alive, or be forced to speak after death? Think carefully!"

Shinnō was immediately stunned.

He didn't understand the first part, but he got the second part.

What Gojo Kaigetsu meant was…

The Yamanaka clan's techniques, he knew about them. He understood what Edo Tensei was. These weren't secrets to an old-timer like him.

But the thought of those techniques being used on him made Shinnō's blood run cold.

Living, he had to speak. Dead, he had to speak. If the final outcome was being forced to hand over the Sky Ninja legacy, then he should just go along with it…

Shinnō closed his eyes in pain, weakly saying, "I—I'll speak, I'll say everything."

"Don't use the Yamanaka clan's techniques on me. I'm old and can't take the stress. And don't kill me and use Edo Tensei. I still want to live."

"Alright, then speak."

Gojo Kaigetsu readily agreed.

"Good—Then you must keep your promise…"

"I swear on the Will of Fire of the Third Hokage!"

To survive, Shinnō didn't care anymore, stammering as he revealed all the valuable intelligence he possessed.

....

....

After finishing the last word.

"Good work~ Shinnō." Gojo Kaigetsu smiled warmly, waving his hand. The weakened Shinnō was then lifted into the air.

Shinnō's eyes were filled with the joy of surviving, breathing heavily. Just when he thought everything was over…

Gojo Kaigetsu flicked his fingers again, and the Yin-Yang Release "Cursed Technique Reversal: Red," pierced Shinnō's heart.

"The Will of Fire of the Third Hokage has nothing to do with my, Gojo Kaigetsu's, Will of Fire. I believe in Gojo's Will of Fire."

Thud!

Shinnō's body fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Is the enemy dealt with? How's Guy?"

Uchiha Shisui dragged his injured body over to Gojo Kaigetsu. "Gojo-sama…"

"The enemy is dead. As for Guy, I've already given him some simple treatment. He'll be fine after resting in Konoha Hospital. The broken bones and twisted flesh will become stronger after they heal."

"As for Shisui…" Gojo Kaigetsu looked up and down at this eight-year-old kid.

He discovered that the chakra of the Sharingan in his body had undergone a qualitative change, Progressing the last layer of film leading to the Mangekyo, and began to evolve towards the Mangekyo.

But it seemed to get stuck halfway through, due to insufficient chakra in the body? Or was it a lack of doujutsu accumulation?

In short, Shisui could now be called a half-step Mangekyo. After a few more years, when his doujutsu and chakra had accumulated enough, evolving into the Mangekyo would be a matter of course.

Thinking of this, Gojo Kaigetsu took out the black cloth he had taken off from his pocket and threw it to Shisui.

"Here, put this on. Your current state is a bit special, in a special period of development. Try to use the Sharingan less, and quietly nurture your eyes."
