In the Dungeon Prison Kuroto created.

Uchiha Ryota regained his consciousness. ​​

Unlike what Kuroto expected, Ryota didn't yell or shouted but calmly observed his surroundings and analyzed the situation he was in, looking at the figure that stood before him, Ryota spoke with a chuckle, "It is really ironic, who would have thought that the so-called Amatsukami, a bounty-nin organization are actually the shinobi of Konohagakure!"

"Well you are calmer than I expected, it is certainly better compared to acting like a barbarian!" – Spoke the other person in a mocking tone.

Kuroto who was wearing Yama disguise and leaning on the wall on the opposite side had his arms folded over his chest and smiled slightly.

Uchiha Ryota coldly stared at the unperturbed Yama and spoke, "Answer me! That Homusubi is Uchiha Shisui, right?"

Yama was a little curious as to how Ryota figured it out and questioned, "How did you figure it out?"

"Even among the Uchiha Clan, there are very few shinobi who know the abilities of my summon cat. So, Homusubi being able to figure out what I intended to do at that moment was an easy giveaway, not to mention he has the Mangekyou Sharingan, nobody other than Uchiha Shisui meets both the requirements." – After explaining this he took a pause and continued with s sneer, "It's not unexpected that Uchiha Shisui betrayed the clan and chose to side himself with the village, but I wonder what he will do once the Clan is destroyed, will the village let him live? Although I will die because of him, it wouldn't be very long when I get to meet him in the pure land, I would definitely want to cherish his expression at that time."

From Ryota's words, it isn't difficult to guess that even if he managed to figure out the true identity of Homusubi, he still believes that Amatsukami is acting behind the scenes under the directives of senior management of Konoha.

Yama smiled at Ryota's shrewdness and said, "You know, it is pointless to try to instigate infighting by inciting him, he is not even here in the first place, so your pathetic attempt is a wasted effort."

Ryota curled his and snorted coldly.

When he said a moment ago are indeed his trues thoughts, but he did have some idea to incite infighting and use guilt of betrayal in Shisui's heart as an opportunity.

Yama walked towards Uchiha Ryota, "Since you hold a very high level of authority in the Uchiha Clan and considering the fact that you are the captain of the third division in the Konoha Military Police Force, I have a few questions from you that I believe you might know the answer of, I do hope you can answer them truthfully."

Ryota grunted condescendingly, "And what are those few questions?"

Yama did not use the roundabout approach and questioned in a straightforward manner, "How much do you know about 'Izanagi'?"

As soon as Ryota heard Yama mentioning 'Izanagi,' his pupil shrank and he stuttered in surprise, "H-how do you know about I-Izanagi? Did that traitor Shisui even gave away the information about it to the village?"

But just as he spoke, Ryota stopped midway in denial and spoke while shaking his head, "No! This can't be! In the first place, Shisui probably doesn't even know the secret of Izanagi! His attitude has always been uncertain so Patriarch would definitely not tell him about Izanagi!"

Noticing Ryota's muttering, Yama spoke, "It seems that you do know a lot about Izanagi." – Taking a short pause, he continued, "Explain what you know, I don't think that I need to say this but you should understand the position you are in, the needless struggle will only make you suffer more before your inevitable death."

Ryota did not answer directly but spoke with a grim look, "What's the point even if I tell you about it, it is not as if it would be useful to you, it would be wise of you to give up 'Izanagi,' as it is a forbidden Genjutsu that only Uchiha Clansmen can use, without Uchiha Blood and Sharingan, it is impossible to use it!"

Listening to Ryota's words, Yama walked back and did not speak anything to retort Ryota's words.

In the original story, even those not of the Uchiha Clan mastered this forbidden Genjutsu, Shimura Danzo transplanted quite a lot of Sharingan and combined them with the Hashirama Cells to be able to use Izanagi.

Therefore, Izanagi is not limited to just the Uchiha Clan, however, the Sharingan seems to be a necessary requirement, but that is probably because Sharingan has traces of Hagoromo's Chakra that records the 'Creation of Of all Things Technique' and Izanagi is derived from the 'Creation of All Things Technique.'

But the 'Izanagi' used by Shimura Danzo was only limited to one minute per Sharingan while the Izanagi used by Uchiha Obito lasted much longer, this is probably because Danzo did not have the necessary spiritual and physical energy because of being a non-Uchiha and non-Senju.

Therefore, what Uchiha Ryota said is actually not wrong, but it isn't right either.

The non-Uchiha have a hard time mastering Izanagi but they can if they are able to fulfill the necessary requirements.

After a long silence, Yama spoke, "Well I understand that Izanagi is exclusive to the Uchiha Clan as you say, but would you mind humoring me a little; as I need to satiate my curiosity, answer me, have you mastered Izanagi?"

"Of course, I have not!" – Ryota replied very simply and then said with a laugh, "Izanagi is regarded as an ominous technique even among the Uchiha and not many people are aware of it, and nobody is allowed to learn it." – said Ryota, while also thought, 'And it took me a lot of effort to convince Patriarch to let the clansmen master Izanagi at the time of launching the Coup.'

Yama thought, 'Thankfully Uchiha Fugaku is sane enough to not let all the Uchiha learn Izanagi otherwise the fighting power of the Uchiha Clan would have multiplied several times!'

Although he thought this, he still said casually, "Why should I believe whether you are speaking the truth or not?"

Ryota snorted, "Humph, like I care, believe if you want to, don't believe if you do not want to!"

Seeing Ryota's response, Yama chuckled, "I guess you are speaking the truth because if you had really learned Izanagi, I am afraid that the entire Uchiha Clan would have learned it overnight!"

Considering Ryota's radical behavior, if Izanagi would have come in his hand, then he would have definitely spread its information among all the Uchiha, therefore, forcing Uchiha Fugaku to speed the preparation of Coup d'état.

Since the Uchiha are still in the preparation period this means that the Izanagi that Uchiha Patriarch holds in his hands has not been revealed to the others by Ryota.

Ryota sighed at Yama's words and said with a bitter expression, "The Patriarch has been waiting for the best opportunity for so long, but the thing is that best opportunity never comes, it has to be created, all he is doing is hesitating, and Patriarch's hesitation will doom the entire clan!"

Yama was no longer interested in discussing the matter of the Uchiha Coup, and said casually, "You don't know much about 'Izanagi' so you shouldn't know about 'Izanami,' another Forbidden Genjutsu that was specifically created to punish the 'Izanagi' users, right?"

Ryota frowned when he heard the unfamiliar term, "Izanami!?"

Seeing Ryota's confused expression, Yama knew that he was right, Ryota seems to have never even heard the term 'Izanami' much less mastering it!

But when he thought about it a little, this is also normal, Izanagi itself is regarded as a Kinjutsu by the Uchiha so very few people should be aware of Izanami.

Seeing Yama's silence, Ryota asked, "This 'Izanami'? Is it also a Kinjutsu of the Uchiha Clan? Even I don't know about it, then how do you know? Did Shisui leak the information about it to you?"

Yama did not answer.

Since Ryota does not have any useful information about the topics that Yama is interested in, so Yama does not bother to discuss anything more with him.

Understanding that the other party was not going to answer him, Ryota thought a little and finally asked, "So um, i-is nii-san alive, or have you k-killed him?"

Yama chuckled, "Why do you even care whether he is alive or not, do you think you can save him if he is alive or do you think that you will be able to avenge him if he is dead? Is it really important?"

Ryota was silent for a while then said, "If it is not important, then it should be okay to at least tell me this, right?"

Listening to Ryota's words, Yama pondered for a while then clapped his hands.

Clap…

"Aaaahhhhhh…!"

Followed by the clap, a loud scream was heard throughout the cave.

Uchiha Ryota who heard the scream recognized the voice and it belonged to his brother Hideki, and he couldn't keep up his calm façade anymore, and shouted viciously, "I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU ALL!!!"
