The Flicker Fades (Shisui)

They call me the Mirage, ghost in the mist

Leaf’s shadow with a death wish

Fastest in the clan—no bluff, no glitch

Body flicker so clean, you’ll forget I exist

I was born in blood, pride, and pain

Eyes of a god, still stayed humane

Loyal to a village that cursed my name

But I ain’t fall in line, I broke that chain

Uchiha crest on my back, no shame

Yet I danced with death in a Konoha frame

Diplomacy? Nah, they chose the flame

Had the sight to see how the end became

Tried peace, they pushed for war

Put a kunai to my brother, I swore

I’d end this plot before the bodies hit floor

And erase myself like I ain’t here no more

Had the Mangekyō, yeah, real divine

Could control a mind, bend fate and time

Kotoamatsukami—damn near a crime

Make a tyrant forget how to climb

I'm the ghost in the leaves, flash and gone

Truth’s too heavy, so I passed it on

To the boy with the eyes and the will of stone

I flickered once—and left alone

No grave, no name, just wind and flame

Erased from books but not the game

This curse of red runs through our vein

So I vanished fast to dull that pain

Danzo? Bitch, I should’ve slit your throat

But I chose the higher road, let guilt coat

This blade I sheathed with a smile I wrote

While your twisted roots still f**kin’ gloat

You took my eye but not my soul

Tried to puppet peace through a bloody toll

I saw the fall, I saw the goal

But they never let me play my role

Gave Itachi my truth to carry

Told him of the demons we both had to bury

Now he walks through shadow, cold and wary

Knowing big bro’s ghost still watching, scary

Tried to be the bridge, not the flame

But this world don’t f**k with peace the same

So I died with secrets, not with fame

And I’d do it twice to kill that game

No statue, no songs, no tale they tell

Just whispers of the boy who fell

Flickered into silence, faked my hell

While the clan’s pride began to swell

I'm the ghost in the leaves, flash and gone

Legacy heavy, but I passed it on

To a brother cursed, yet twice as strong

Even if they paint my memory wrong

A shinobi's death ain't made for praise

We flicker in and out in silent blaze

If peace needs blood, then let it bathe—

I vanished fast… and the flicker fades.
