"White Zetsu, I'm going to have to trouble you for a bit."
Shin led White Zetsu to an open area and addressed it.
"No trouble at all! It's my honor to assist you, Shin-sama!" White Zetsu declared, striking a pose of utmost devotion. Shin almost felt bad for what he was about to do.
"Don't worry, I'll remember you. But for now, I need you to serve as... a sacrifice."
"What?! Shin-sama, you want me to be a sacrifice?"
White Zetsu's composure shattered, its face twisting into a miserable expression. It seemed death was inescapable.
White Zetsu didn't resist; it knew resistance was futile. It was just a lowly White Zetsu clone, lacking any real power.
Of course, whether it was a clone or the original didn't matter much. Even if the main body died, the other White Zetsu could continue functioning.
Shin retrieved Shisui Uchiha's corpse from the Kamui dimension and instructed White Zetsu to possess it. White Zetsu had the ability to possess others, even corpses.
Once White Zetsu possessed the body, Shin performed the Edo Tensei technique, using White Zetsu as the vessel to revive Shisui Uchiha. Edo Tensei required a piece of the deceased's flesh as a medium; Shin used Shisui's entire corpse.
"Aren't I... already dead?" Shisui said.
"Yes, you were dead. Now you've returned, in a different state," Shin nodded calmly.
Shisui immediately looked at Shin, his eyes widening in recognition. "You're Shin Uzumaki!"
"Indeed. You still recognize me. Honestly, not many in the Shinobi world remember me anymore."
That was true. Shin's name once struck fear into the hearts of children, but now, only the older generation of ninja truly understood his reputation.
"What is your purpose?" Shisui activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, wary of Shin.
It was strange, actually—a major flaw in the Edo Tensei. Shisui's eyes had been removed, yet the reanimated version possessed them.
Similarly, Madara Uchiha, when reanimated in the original story, appeared in his prime, not as an old man. And Nagato Uzumaki, reanimated, still possessed the Rinnegan, even though they weren't originally his eyes. Even Shin, having learned Edo Tensei, couldn't explain this inconsistency.
"You ask my purpose? I wasn't going to tell you, but seeing as you're already dead... poor thing. I'll let you in on it." Shin looked at Shisui with pity. With Shisui's strength, he should have been a prominent figure, yet he chose suicide.
"I just wanted to liven things up in Konoha. Don't you think it's gotten too quiet?"
"You plan to attack Konoha?" Shisui asked angrily. His loyalty to Konoha outweighed even his own life. Hiruzen Sarutobi's brainwashing skills were truly top-tier.
"Even in death, I won't let you harm Konoha!" Shisui used the Great Fireball Technique, launching it at Shin.
"Young man, you're not worthy of fighting me." Shin watched the fireball calmly. It dissipated before even reaching him.
"<Kotoamatsukami!>" Seeing his Ninjutsu fail, Shisui immediately used Kotoamatsukami. If he could alter Shin Uzumaki's will, make him protect Konoha, the village would surely be safe.
"Don't play tricks with Genjutsu in front of me. It's useless." Shin shook his head. Shisui's spiritual power was far too weak compared to Shin's.
Kotoamatsukami wouldn't affect him. Kotoamatsukami wasn't infallible; against someone with significantly stronger spiritual power, it would fail.
""
Using his own ocular power, Shin reflected Shisui's Kotoamatsukami back onto him, forcibly altering Shisui's will.
Shisui, who had been attacking Shin, froze, looked at Shin, then turned and left.
Shin didn't stop him. His objective was achieved. Now, it was time to watch the show.
Shin wasn't the protagonist in this drama; he was an outsider, or perhaps, the director.

The reanimated Shisui, now under Shin's subtle influence, returned to the Uchiha compound step by step.
"Shisui? What happened to you?" An Uchiha clansman stared in shock as Shisui walked in. His appearance was unnerving. The reanimated body was covered in cracks, looking like it could crumble at any moment.
"Take me to the Clan Head," Shisui instructed the clansman.

"Oh, alright." As the Uchiha Clan's renowned top master, Shisui commanded respect. The clansman quickly led him to Fugaku.
Fugaku Uchiha also noticed Shisui's strange condition immediately upon seeing him.
"Shisui, what happened to your body?" Fugaku asked.
"Clan Head, I am already dead," Shisui stated calmly, but his words stunned Fugaku.
"You... you're already dead?" Fugaku frowned. If you're dead, then what are you now?
"Clan Head, you must have heard of the Edo Tensei technique? After I died, someone used Edo Tensei to revive me," Shisui explained.
"Edo Tensei... I've heard of it. The forbidden jutsu developed by the Second Hokage." Fugaku knew of the technique, though it was considered a secret.
"Shisui, how did you die?" The details of the technique weren't important now. Fugaku needed to know how Shisui died.
"I was deceived by Danzō. He stole one of my eyes, then hunted me down, leaving me severely injured. In the end, I gave my remaining eye to Itachi and threw myself into the river." Shisui recounted the events to Fugaku.
Fugaku clenched his fists tightly.
