Shisui Uchiha

was feared as, and was one of the most talented of the Uchiha clan.

Personality
Shisui was very devoted to the clan, and they found his suicide note of claiming to be tired of carrying out the clan's duties any further to be suspicious. This is what led everyone to suspect the note was a forgery.

Shisui was the best friend of Itachi Uchiha; in fact, Itachi thought of him as an older brother. As such, the clan entrusted Shisui to spy on a weird-acting Itachi.

Background
At some point in the past, Shisui fought with Ao. Ao retains an acute memory of Shisui's chakra and ability to control others with his Sharingan. Because of this, he recognizes that Shisui's right arm and eye were transplanted into Danzō.

About six months after joining the ANBU, Itachi began to act oddly, and Shisui was instructed by the Konoha Military Police Force to keep tabs on him. Soon afterwards Shisui was found drowned in Nakano river. Although it appeared to be a suicide, with a note bidding farewell stating that he was tired of carrying out the clan's duties, the police suspected Itachi had murdered him and used his Sharingan to fake the suicide note, since Shisui was very devoted to the clan, and suicide was the least likely thing Shisui would commit. Itachi later confessed to Sasuke that he did kill Shisui and forged the suicide note, all in order to awaken his own Mangekyō Sharingan. After this, Danzō took Shisui's right arm and Sharingan and implanted into himself.

Abilities
Shisui was noted to be one of the most talented members of the battle-excelling Uchiha clan. He had earned the nickname of "Shisui of the Body Flicker", possibly implying that he had great mastery of the Body Flicker Technique.

As a wielder of the Sharingan, Shisui possessed an apparently unique dōjutsu of the highest caliber. It allowed the user to control the mind of the target in the most discreet manner. Danzō would later gain this technique when he stole Shisui's eye. When Danzō was defeated by Sasuke Uchiha, Madara Uchiha claimed that he sought to retrieve Shisui's eye.

Trivia
