"When the false is made to appear true, the true becomes false..."
"The boundary between truth and falsehood may not be as clear as most people imagine."
Teacher Hideki said with interest,
"Let's take the example of the illusion that you are good at, Shisui."
"Suppose a mad scientist cut out your brain and put it in a container that would keep it alive."
"Then he uses illusion to connect the nerve endings in your brain and perfectly simulates an illusion that is indistinguishable from reality."
"Then Shisui, how can you guarantee that you are not in such a predicament now, and are not just a brain in a vat?"
Shisui was shocked when he heard this, and felt that this was not an example that a normal person could come up with. He couldn't help but complain in his mind:
"Teacher, is this crazy scientist you are talking about you yourself?"
After that, he pondered over it for a while and found that there was no solution to this problem, which made him even more terrified...
Finally, it was Teacher Hideki who interrupted his thoughts and said,
"Don't think about it. Thinking too much will only lead you into the abyss of skepticism."
"Shisui, probably because you are good at illusions, you are more wary of false things and find it difficult to accept the love of fans."
"But I think there is no distinction between high and low emotions, whether they are real or fake."
"The joy and emotion that comes from fictional stories are also precious experiences for the villagers of Konoha."
"So you don't need to question whether this feeling is real or not. The real question is how you should respond."
"You can just leave it alone and wait for it to subside, or you can use it to make some profit..."
"But making it real, turning this fake emotion into a real bond with everyone, is also a good choice..."
Teacher Hideki looked deeply touched when he said this. It seems that he has had similar experiences and is sharing his own experience...
But Shisui is still young after all, and he is a bit idealistic and likes to get stuck in a rut.
So even after Mr. Hideki's advice, he still couldn't completely get over the hurdle in his heart.
Until now...things have changed.
Because Shisui already knew that the night of genocide was just an illusion.
But once he recalled the scene of everyone dying at the hands of his knife, he felt more painful than if the knife had cut him.
Whether it was the sadness and despair that came from the false illusion, or the relief and anger that came from the reality, they all existed in his heart at the same time.
After experiencing the pain himself, Shisui finally understood what the teacher meant.
Yes! Even if it is fictional, what does it matter?
Our feelings will not fade in the slightest...
After realizing this, the incessant chatter from Uchiha Setsuna in Shisui's ears gradually faded away, and everyone's cheers and encouragement became clearer again.
Even Shisui could hear some familiar voices from it.
"Come on, Shisui, there's no way you could possibly lose to that guy Tiehuo! I'm waiting to see how you defeat Asuma!"
This is the voice of Brother Obito.
"Uchiha Shisui, I've been your supporting role for dozens of episodes. This time I finally have the chance to be the protagonist. You can't run away at this critical moment!"
This is Asuma's voice.
"Shisui, hurry up and burn your youthful energy. Think about the hard training you've done before. Your youth can't come to an end here!"
This is the voice of Guy.
"Shisui, what are you doing? You can't lose to others in genjutsu before I defeat you!"
This... is Kurenai's voice...
Not only that, Shisui also heard the voices of his classmates, colleagues in the crew, and friends in the training room trying to cheer him up...
Hearing everyone calling his name, Shisui began to understand something.
It turns out that the transformation that the teacher mentioned has already happened unconsciously...
If it was just Shisui, the genius of the Uchiha clan, everyone would probably just stay away from him.
It was the false identity of "Uchiha Fei" that allowed everyone to temporarily abandon their prejudices against the Uchiha clan and have the opportunity to get in touch with and know the real Uchiha Shisui...
Although it is still a minor change.
But Shisui firmly believed that as long as he persisted, one day the village would truly accept the Uchiha clan like this.
With this thought in mind, Shisui's right hand, which was originally holding the kunai, stopped shaking.
He smiled, stretched out his left hand, gently touched Uchiha Itachi's head in front of him, and made a promise in his heart again.
He, Uchiha Shisui, would never let this child have such a future.
Boom!
The next moment, the entire illusion began to tremble violently, and the scene in the distance gradually fell apart, as if it could no longer be maintained.
"impossible!"
Uchiha Setsuna's shocked and angry voice came directly from the blood moon, resounding throughout the illusion space!
"Shisui, how could you break the illusion I cast with just some cheering sounds!?"
"This is not a randomly created illusion. It is the future of the Uchiha clan that I have deduced through self-hypnosis and illusion for many years. There is no way you can find a flaw in it!"
"Wake up, Shisui!"
"If you still insist on not changing your ways, this future will become a reality sooner or later!"
"No, you are wrong... Elder Setsuna."
Shisui had a calm expression as he looked up at the blood moon hanging high in the sky.
"No matter what happens in the future, I will never use the butcher knife against my relatives."
"More importantly, Elder Setsuna, your deduction is still missing an important variable."
"That's Mr. Hideki."
Shisui turned his head and looked at the rock wall where the Hokage Rock was located and smiled,
"If this were real, there should be a movie playing there at this time. It would be a rare leisure time for everyone after a busy day."
"But now there is nothing."
"If I walk over there now, I probably won't even see any trace of the toy store."
"It seems that even you, Elder Setsuna, cannot deduce what new products and movies Mr. Hideki will launch in the future."
"Not to mention deducing what kind of changes the teacher will bring to Konoha in the next few years..."
"As long as you keep this thought in mind as an anchor, Elder Shanshan's illusion will be full of mistakes and there is no way it can deceive me."
"I..."
Uchiha Setsuna argued,
"How could Kimura Hideki's cleverness change the trend I deduced?"
Although he said so.
But he also had to admit that with his old-fashioned Warring States thinking, he could not understand Hideki Kimura's thoughts at all, let alone deduce his future.
So he did deliberately eliminate his existence, as if this person did not exist...
I didn't expect that this guy, who had only been guiding Shisui for less than a month, could gain Shisui's trust so much that he could serve as an anchor to not be blinded by illusions.
If this continues...if this continues...
Ah!
Uchiha Setsuna's mind was still blank, and he had no idea what impact the appearance of Kimura Hideki would have on Shisui and the future of the Uchiha clan.
He already had a hard time accepting new things, so after realizing this, his first reaction was to eliminate this uncontrollable variable.
Only in this way can he follow his previous practice and guide Shisui and the Uchiha clan to the right direction!
But before that, he must first make Shisui return to the right path.
Even if it means using tougher measures, at the risk of reducing this child's potential...
The Uchiha genius who is unable to inherit Madara-sama's legacy is meaningless to him!
"Shisui, this is my last warning!"
"Stop struggling, accept your fate and become the next Uchiha Madara!"
Uchiha Setsuna's voice roared like thunder.
It was getting darker around Shisui, and the wind was blowing violently.
Then the blood moon in the sky began to get closer to the ground, looking more and more like a giant Sharingan looking down at him.
"Shisui, do you dare to disobey me who possesses the Sharingan?"
The increasingly powerful pressure from the pupil power and humans' natural fear of giants made Shisui's body tremble continuously.
But the constant cheers in his ears made him no longer confused, and Itachi in his arms gave him endless courage.
Finally, Shisui overcame the fear in his heart, and he stiffened his neck and looked up to stare at the blood moon that Uchiha Setsuna had transformed into!
His eyes turned red under the reflection of the blood moon, and then a magatama quietly emerged from each of them...
