In the winding alleys of Kumogakure, Shisui moved swiftly like an arrow released from a bow.

His steps were light and quick, truly deserving of the title "Instantaneous Stillness".

His eyes scanned the surroundings, eagerly searching for any clues related to the Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

"If you were to ask where the fragments of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn organizations are most likely to be hidden..."

As Shisui pondered this inwardly, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:

"Yes, it must be the graveyard of heroes from Kumogakure!"

He muttered to himself, his eyes instantly hardening.

Immediately afterwards, Shisui changed direction and hurried towards the approximate location of the heroic graves in his memory.

He quickened his pace and, relying on his familiarity with Kumogakure, soon arrived at the edge of the Heroic Spirits Cemetery.

The cemetery is surrounded by dense woods, making it exceptionally quiet and solemn.

Shisui took a deep breath, composed himself, and slowly stepped into this sacred land.

Inside the cemetery, rows of tombstones stand, with inscriptions detailing the heroic deeds of the fallen heroes.

Zhi Shui moved among the tombstones, his sharp eyes searching for any possible clues.

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a rather old tombstone, the patterns on which seemed to have some subtle connection with the symbols of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

Zhi Shui approached the tombstone and carefully examined the patterns.

"Finally found it!"

A surge of joy welled up in Shisui's heart, but this emotion was quickly replaced by seriousness.

He took a deep breath, his gaze solemn as he looked at the tombstone before him, and slowly began to speak:

"Seniors, I am a ninja from Konoha Village. I am here today in search of something important, and it is truly my only recourse. I hope you will be magnanimous and not take offense."

After speaking, Zhishui bowed deeply to the tombstone, his attitude sincere and respectful.

He was actually a little uneasy, after all, what he was about to do was dig up a grave, which was undoubtedly a great disrespect to the deceased.

After bowing, Shisui remained silent for a moment, as if expressing his apology and respect to the two seniors.

After performing those respectful actions, Shisui took a deep breath and activated his Susanoo.

In an instant, a gigantic green hand appeared out of thin air and began to carefully dig the grave.

Before long, as the soil and stones were gradually peeled away, the remains of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn were revealed.

Looking at these two legendary ninjas before him, Shisui couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

He remained silent for a moment, his eyes revealing both awe and resolve.

Then, Shisui gently reached out and carefully removed a small fragment of body tissue from the body.

After completing this task, he carefully restored the remaining parts to their original state, trying to preserve the original appearance of the cemetery and prevent it from being damaged too much.

Throughout the entire process, Zhi Shui's movements were exceptionally cautious and respectful, as if he were performing a sacred ritual.

He knew that this was a sign of respect for the deceased and a tribute to the Hidden Cloud Village.

After completing all this, Shisui bowed deeply to the tombstone once again to express his respect and gratitude.

He turned and left, his heart filled with remorse towards the two seniors, Golden Horn and Silver Horn.

With the collected fragments of the organization in hand, Shisui prepared to leave the graveyard of heroes.

But at that moment, he spotted a familiar figure...

The visitor was Darui. He had originally come to the Heroes' Cemetery to pay his respects to his ancestors, but he never expected to encounter Shisui there.

"It's you again!"

Darui recognized Shisui at a glance. His face instantly darkened, his eyes widened in anger, and his tone was filled with rage and accusation.

"Speak! What exactly do you want here?!"

After all, the person in front of them was the culprit who destroyed the Hidden Cloud Village not long ago!

As Shisui faced Darui's questioning, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

He understood that his actions were undoubtedly an intrusion in Darui's eyes, but he also knew that he had to do it in order to change this dirty world.

"Darui, calm down."

Zhi Shui tried his best to keep his tone calm:

"I know my behavior may be unacceptable to you, but I have my reasons for doing so."

Upon hearing this, Darui's anger did not subside.

"Bullshit! You hypocrite!"

"Since you dared to come back, stay here!"

Despite his extreme anger, Darui remained perfectly clear-headed!

He knew he was no match for Shisui, so he decided to find a way to retreat and then gather the strength of the entire Hidden Cloud Village to fight against Shisui.

Seeing Darui's uncontrollable rage, Shisui felt a pang of anxiety. He knew that explaining at this moment might be futile, but to avoid unnecessary conflict, he tried again to calm Darui's anger.

"Darui, let me explain. I did not intend to offend Kumogakure, nor did I have any intention of being your enemy."

Shisui was eager to clear up the misunderstanding, but Darui clearly didn't believe him.

"Hmph! No offense intended?"

Darui sneered, his tone filled with anger and mockery:

"You destroyed our village, and now you're trying to make excuses here?"

As he spoke, a cunning glint flashed in Darui's eyes. He quietly retreated, looking for an opportunity to escape while secretly gathering chakra, ready to deal with Shisui's sudden attack at any moment.

His hands were clenched into fists, his body leaned slightly forward, and he remained highly alert.

Seeing this, Shisui knew that further explanation would be futile, so he could only try to calm Darui down before figuring out how to leave.

"Darui, I know it's hard for you to believe me right now, but please believe me, I, Shisui, am not someone who indiscriminately kills innocent people..."

"You may not understand what I'm about to do, but please believe me, I am not a bloodthirsty person..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shisui clenched his fist and instantly switched his eyes to the Mangekyou Sharingan. A powerful and terrifying ocular force surged forth like a tidal wave.

Darui felt a blur before his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he found himself in a strange and mesmerizing illusionary world.

The surrounding environment became distorted and hazy, as if controlled by some mysterious force, leaving him astonished.

He looked around and found himself in a completely unfamiliar space. Everything around him seemed so unreal that he was momentarily at a loss.

"This is...an illusion?!"

Darui felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly focused his mind, trying to break the sudden illusion.

Shisui gazed at Darui, who was trapped in the illusion and looked dazed, a complex and unreadable emotion flashing in his eyes.

He shook his head gently, as if lamenting the tricks of fate, or perhaps relieved about the decision he was about to make.

Then, Shisui slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and he seemed much more relaxed.

He turned around, his steps light, preparing to take this opportunity to quietly leave the cemetery of fallen heroes, unwilling to cause any more unnecessary trouble.

However, just as Shisui was about to take a step away from this chaotic place, a strong and rapid chakra surge suddenly came from the genjutsu world, exploding in his heart like a thunderclap.

A voice filled with anger and determination echoed through the illusionary world, breaking the silence and interrupting Shisui's movements:

"Want to leave? Not so easy!"
