The rapids of the Naka River did not bury the glory of the Uchiha. Shisui, the Body Flicker, faked his death, his left eye covered in frost and his right eye hiding a glimmer of light.
Danzo's ambitions stirred beneath the surface, a coup cast its shadow over the Uchiha, Konoha's leaders jockeyed and schemed amid their suspicions, and the fires of war spread across the shinobi world... He cast aside the Uchiha glory he could claim in the open and vanished into the shadows, using Konoha as his shield and keeping his clan close to heart as he guarded the gentle core of the Will of Fire.
Kotoamatsukami was never a weapon for controlling people's minds, but a faint glimmer of hope in a desperate situation. The Body Flicker was not for slaughter, but to protect Konoha's lights and keep his clan from straying before darkness fell.
He was Uchiha Shisui, not a fallen prodigy, but the most steadfast guardian of Konoha's dark side.
From being reborn at the Naka River to fighting side by side in the Shinobi World War, a bandage over his left eye could not conceal his faith, and the jutsu in his right eye could protect all around him.
In Konoha's shadows, he never left the fight. Carrying on the Will of Fire, he took the dark path to light the way.
