Shisui explained for a long time before he could clearly articulate the principles behind the Phantom Body Flicker Technique.
This technique was indeed very complex. To summarize it simply:
Clone Jutsu is a type of genjutsu, but clones only have visual interference capabilities and do not possess chakra.
Without chakra, it is impossible to perform Reverse Summoning to activate the Body Flicker Technique.
However, a clone created using Sharingan genjutsu can be marked with a Sharingan genjutsu seal, giving the clone certain chakra properties.
With this, the Reverse Summoning can be completed through these chakra imprints, achieving the effect of the Body Flicker Technique.
So, in theory, one could use the Sharingan to create a large number of clones and mark each of them individually.
The main body could then use these marks to teleport onto any of the clones at any time, or, of course, teleport away whenever necessary.
After listening, Obito also felt that this was simply a genius-level idea.
But at the same time, it was also extremely difficult.
How to mark the clones? How to teleport precisely to the correct clone amid a large-scale battle? Just these two points alone required an exceptional mastery of genjutsu, sealing techniques, and an almost inhuman level of proficiency in the Body Flicker Technique.
Fortunately, Obito happened to meet all these conditions.
In order to learn the Flying Thunder God, he had put in painstaking effort on both Body Flicker and sealing techniques. As for genjutsu, though it wasn't his specialty, he had used his Mangekyō Sharingan to control the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, for a long time, so he had quite a bit of experience.
Thus, he was 99% confident that he could master this technique, provided he helped Shisui develop and perfect it, as it was currently only a conceptual idea.
So, he imparted to Shisui a vast amount of experience related to the Body Flicker Technique and genjutsu. This knowledge either came from the Mangekyō Sharingan or the Flying Thunder God, both representing the pinnacle of expertise in the entire shinobi world.
For a time, Shisui's horizons were greatly expanded. Every sentence Obito spoke felt like an enlightenment to him.
However, Shisui also found it somewhat strange and couldn't help but ask, "Obito-senpai, have you really not awakened your Sharingan? Why do I feel like you're extraordinarily familiar with Sharingan genjutsu, so much so that your understanding surpasses even those three-tomoe Uchiha clansmen I've met?"
Obito cautiously looked around, "Shisui, can you keep a secret? Swear that you won't tell anyone."
Shisui's breathing immediately quickened. He had already suspected that Obito-senpai had indeed awakened his Sharingan; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have such vast knowledge. He nodded at once.
"I swear, I won't say a single word!"
Obito smiled, "Then I trust you."
After speaking, he instantly revealed his three-tomoe Sharingan.
For a moment, Shisui was stunned on the spot, "Th-Three tomoe!"
He had already tried his best to overestimate, yet he still hadn't expected that Obito-senpai's Sharingan had evolved to the highest level.
Immediately, a sense of defeat washed over him. And this time, it was tangible, he had been utterly surpassed in Uchiha bloodline talent.
Having awakened the one-tomoe Sharingan himself, he deeply understood how difficult it was. He had no confidence at all in evolving his eyes to their highest form at Obito's current age.
"So this is what Clan Leader Fugaku meant when he said Obito-senpai is a once-in-a-lifetime genius of the Uchiha? I think I finally believe it now. During our fight earlier, Obito-senpai didn't even use half of his true strength."
Off to the side, Rin covered her mouth and giggled.
Obito revealing just a three-tomoe Sharingan was enough to shock Uchiha Shisui, but she had seen Obito's Mangekyō before, with its distinctive triple-scythe pattern.
That pair of eyes… even now, just thinking about them, she still found them quite beautiful.
Seeing Shisui looking so dejected, Obito patted him on the shoulder, "Shisui, your talent is already excellent. While I do have a certain unique knack for awakening my Sharingan, my situation is also rather special, it's not something that should be used as a point of comparison."
"Honestly, the gap between us is more about age than anything else…"
Shisui didn't believe that at all, "Obito-senpai clearly isn't much older than me, right? But don't worry, I won't be discouraged that easily."
"From now on… Obito-senpai will be my role model. I'll work hard to follow in your footsteps!", He said it with unwavering determination, and in Obito's eyes, he saw an unshakable belief.
Sure enough, every Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyō was anything but normal.
Obito felt that if Shisui hadn't died so early, he would definitely have played a major role in the Fourth Shinobi War.
He glanced up at the sky and smiled, "Alright, it's great to have ambition, but it's getting late. How about we figure out what to do for dinner?"
Shisui immediately said, "Since I've troubled Obito-senpai and Rin-senpai today, let me treat you both to dinner tonight."
Rin's eyes lit up instantly, and she leaned in, "Really?"
Shisui nodded seriously, "Of course, I wouldn't joke about this. How about we go to the Akimichi family's barbecue restaurant?"
Rin was deeply moved. The Akimichi's barbecue was certainly delicious, but it was also extremely expensive. On normal days, she wouldn't dare be so extravagant.
She asked a little hesitantly, "Wouldn't that be too expensive?"
Obito, standing beside her, chuckled, "Just eat. There's no way he'd go broke from this. Besides, Rin, if you want barbecue in the future, we can have it whenever. Don't forget, I'm already an elder of the Uchiha clan now."
Rin suddenly remembered that Obito was now quite wealthy. The Uchiha clan truly was a prestigious family—rich and powerful.
With that, the group set off for the barbecue restaurant…
.

.
Just as they arrived at the restaurant entrance, they ran into Anko.
Curious, Rin stepped forward, "Anko, you're here for dinner too?"
Anko, looking delighted, nodded.m, "Yeah! I did really well on my exams today, so I managed to squeeze a big sum of money out of my parents. I'm here to treat myself!"
"Rin, you're eating here too? Guess becoming a ninja really means having money."
Rin smiled, "It's not me, someone else is treating us."
Saying that, she pointed to Shisui, who was standing beside Obito, "Let me introduce you, this is Uchiha Shisui, a fellow clan member of Obito's."
Anko's eyes lit up, "Ah, so you're an Uchiha! No wonder you're so rich, you can afford to treat people to barbecue."
She paused, then looked at Shisui's face, as if recalling something, "Wait, you're that Shisui? I've heard of yo-you're the new generation's prodigy at the Academy, said to be on par with Kakashi back in his day."
Shisui immediately became flustered, "I'm nowhere near Kakashi-senpai's level, I don't deserve such praise."
Because of Obito, Shisui had placed Kakashi on a pedestal far beyond reality.
He couldn't even begin to imagine just how exceptional Kakashi-senpai must have been, to suppress a younger Obito to the point of being labeled a dead-last.
Obito-senpai saying that his talent might even surpass Kakashi's was probably just a way to keep his confidence from crumbling.
Anko tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Really? But that's what everyone says. Anyway, you're both geniuses, I can't really tell who's better."
"But let's not think about that today, let's share a table!"
Shisui glanced at Rin and Obito, and seeing that they had no objections, he nodded, "Alright, since you're friends with Rin-senpai and Obito-senpai, let's eat together."
"Then let's go in."
Anko eagerly led the way, rushing excitedly into the restaurant, only to crash headfirst into someone coming out.
BANG!
Anko fell to the ground, clutching her head with teary eyes, "Owww! Who the heck doesn't watch where they're going?"
She looked up, and when she saw who it was, her face changed instantly.
The string of curses about to burst from her mouth got swallowed back down…
Orochimaru looked at her with interest, his voice carrying its usual raspy tone, "Seems like you were the one not watching where you were going."
