Shisui Uchiha (うちはシスイ, Uchiha Shisui) was a shinobi from Konohagakure's Uchiha clan and was renowned as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" (瞬身のシスイ, Shunshin no Shisui, English TV: Shisui the Teleporter).
Background
Shisui was noted to be one of the most talented members of the Uchiha clan.[3] At some point in the past, he fought with Ao of Kirigakure who retained an acute memory of Shisui's
Personality
Itachi was Shisui's best friend; in fact, Itachi thought of him as a brother.[4] Shisui taught Itachi that "self-sacrifice… a nameless shinobi who protects peace from within its shadow…" was the true mark of a shinobi.[5] Shisui was also very devoted to the clan, which is why the Konoha Military Police Force asked him to spy on Itachi. It is because of this devotion that the police did not believe he could have committed suicide.[3]
Along with his clan, Shisui was greatly devoted to the protection of the village which he cared for deeply. He even went as far as to attempt to put his clan under a genjutsu in order to stop their coup d'etat which would lead to civil war.[6] With this in mind, he entrusted his left eye to Itachi and told him to protect the village.[7] According to Itachi, he and Naruto Uzumaki held similar ideals and goals.[8]
Appearance
Shisui had short, unkempt, dark-coloured hair and a relatively broad nose and well-defined eyelashes, that were turned upwards at each end. In the anime however, these lines are broken instead of whole. He wore the standard attire of the Uchiha clan which includes a high-collared, dark-coloured outfit along with a tantō strapped to the right side of the back of his shoulder. He also wore what appeared to be a harness for his tantō which ran across his chest and fastened over both his shoulders.
Abilities
Shisui was noted to be one of the most talented members of his battle-excelling clan. He had earned the nickname of "Shisui of the Body Flicker", possibly implying that he had great mastery of the Body Flicker Technique.[3] He was also hailed as one of the most powerful genjutsu users of the clan.[5] Another testament to his prowess is that Kabuto Yakushi wanted to reincarnate him for the war but failed to find sufficient DNA samples.[9] He also displayed a high level of pain tolerance, as he didn't flinch from ripping out his own left eye to give to Itachi.[7]
Sharingan
Like many members of his clan, Shisui was a wielder of the Sharingan. Alongside his friend Itachi, he was praised for his mastery and sheer power in its use.[3]
Mangekyō Sharingan
Shisui was one of the few members in the clan's history that was able to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. It granted him access to powerful genjutsu techniques, the strongest of which was a unique genjutsu noted to be of the highest calibre: Kotoamatsukami.[5] This technique allowed him to enter a person's mind and manipulate them by giving them false experiences, making it seem as if they were doing things on their own free will; the victim wouldn't even notice they were being manipulated.[10]
This ability was apparently so unique and powerful, that Tobi wanted it for himself and was angry that Danzō managed to destroy it before he died.[11] Kabuto was also extremely thrilled when he learned that the remaining eye was within Itachi's crow.[12] This genjutsu however, could only be used once a decade,[13] unless the user had a way to augment the process such as with Hashirama Senju's cells, thereby drastically reducing the time required from ten years to only a few hours.[14][15] Shisui's eyes were also seen as something of a treasure even within his own clan, as before his death he had to ensure that it looked like he had destroyed them before he had died, fearing it would end in conflict otherwise.[8]
