"So, how exactly do we change it?"
After Shisui received Yuuki's affirmative answer, he didn't refuse or question it, but directly asked how to change Orochimaru's will.
If it were Shisui a few years ago, he definitely wouldn't have agreed so easily.
Leaving aside Orochimaru's unforgivable actions in Konoha, just the Kotoamatsukami jutsu itself was something Shisui was extremely resistant to.
What's the difference between changing a person's will and killing him?
Yuuki, who originally viewed everyone like mannequins and NPCs, became more and more like a Ninja World native after forming bonds with his family and friends.
Influence is never one-sided; it's mutual.
Shisui, as Yuuki's friend, was also influenced by Yuuki; the once pure and kind Shisui also became silent and turned a blind eye most of the time.
Moreover, Shisui, who knew Yuuki extremely well, knew that his refusal would have no effect; since childhood, things Yuuki decided could almost never be changed.
Even if he refused, Shisui knew that the end result would be him being persuaded by Yuuki.
Rather than that, it's better to agree from the start.
"Make him loyal to me and Konoha, with his loyalty to me higher than to Konoha. You can handle the rest, Shisui."
Yuuki said it without hesitation, firstly because Yuuki didn't need to pretend in front of Shisui, and secondly to prevent Shisui from misunderstanding.
Shisui, who had more or less sensed something, heard such a clear expression from Yuuki's mouth for the first time.
Does he value himself more than Konoha?
Yuuki, who became Hokage with the approval of almost all Konoha villagers, harbored such a betrayal of the will of fire in his true thoughts.
He wondered what the Konoha villagers would think if they knew about their Hokage's character.
The will of fire is weeping!
Shisui stared intently at Yuuki, who still had a brilliant smile and clear, sincere eyes.
After a brief moment of silent observation, Shisui answered concisely.
"Okay!"
Immediately, Shisui activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, and the four-cornered pinwheel pattern appeared in both his eyes.
Then he turned to look at Orochimaru, who lay on the ground with wide-open eyes, meeting his gaze.
[Kotoamatsukami!]
Shisui, following Yuuki's instructions, changed Orochimaru's will, and after completing it, Shisui further modified Orochimaru's will.
Within the mental space.
Shisui saw Orochimaru's essence; Orochimaru's materialized will was full of distortion and a stitched-together feeling.
It didn't seem like a human will at all.
After an unknown, long period, Shisui completed his work, and his thoughts returned to reality.
In Yuuki's eyes, Shisui merely turned to look at Orochimaru, and the next moment, Shisui turned back and nodded at him.
Yuuki, who also possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, did not question its speed or quality.
Aside from a very few genjutsu that can affect reality, no matter how powerful other genjutsu are, the process is this unpretentious.
Only the caster and the target experience an extremely perilous confrontation in the mental space.
"Yuuki, this is the first time I've used Kotoamatsukami to modify someone else's will. The next time I want to use it, it will be at least five years from now!"
"Thank you, Shisui."
Yuuki nodded and thanked him.
Yuuki wasn't surprised that the time Shisui mentioned didn't match the time Itachi mentioned in the original story.
Although Itachi possessed Shisui's Sharingan, he ultimately didn't develop it by having it in his own eye socket, like Kakashi with Obito's Sharingan.
Now, in the eyes of its owner, Shisui, and considering Shisui hasn't been stagnant these past few years, if he still performed like Itachi in the original story, then Shisui would be too low-tier.
Yuuki then released all the seals on Orochimaru and said to him.
"You can stop with Jiraiya now."
"No problem, Yuuki-kun."
Orochimaru's personality and habits were still the same as before, with no significant difference, except for his extreme obedience to Yuuki's words.
However, Yuuki still felt a sense of incongruity from the smile on Orochimaru's face.
Where is your sinister smile?
What's going on now? Why is this smile so familiar!
Orochimaru, in front of Yuuki, slightly narrowed his eyes, revealing a bright and brilliant smile.
No matter how you looked at it, it felt out of place!
Orochimaru's movements were not slow; in a moment, a quiet, young version of Orochimaru appeared lying on the ground.
As he sealed the young version of Orochimaru into a scroll, Orochimaru, still with narrowed eyes, said.
"It's done, Yuuki-kun!"
Yuuki nodded, extended his right hand to Orochimaru, and then said.
"Although it's a bit cliché, I still have to say, welcome back to Konoha, Senior Orochimaru!"
Orochimaru, without the slightest hesitation, took Yuuki's outstretched hand and said with a smile.
"My pleasure, Yuuki-kun!"
Kotoamatsukami is truly effective!
Aside from becoming exceptionally obedient and having some strange changes, Orochimaru was not much different from before.
Yuuki expressed his satisfaction.
"Next, Shisui will take you back to Konoha. As for other matters, someone in Konoha will arrange them. What do you think, Senior Orochimaru?"
"Whatever Yuuki-kun decides is fine!"
Orochimaru still had that brilliant, sunny, narrowed-eye smile, which made Yuuki extremely uncomfortable.
The reason was none other than Yuuki feeling that Orochimaru's smile was more profound than his own; seeing it would unconsciously brighten one's mood and make people irresistibly drawn to him.
Yuuki immediately turned his head away from the narrowed-eyed Orochimaru and, with a similar smile, said to Shisui.
"I'll trouble you with this, Shisui. Just send Orochimaru to Kabuto, and someone will arrange things afterward."
Shisui looked at the two narrowed-eyed individuals in front of him and, equally joining in, narrowed his eyes and said.
"No problem, Yuuki."
He immediately clapped Orochimaru on the shoulder and then disappeared.
