The chapter may have confirmed or added a few more theories to the list of what people have going around. For me, it was a good chapter. Although it still has not confirmed who killed Shisui, I think it may have touch on a few answers to some questions I have been wondering about. Why was Shisui such a reknowned Uchiha? why Madara was so intent on collecting his eye from Danzo? Is the murder of the best friend truly a requirement for the MS?
Well as I take it, Shisui was reknowned not only for his body flicker tech, but was probably regarded as the most powerful Uchiha prior to the death of the clan. Also, since his eye's were capable of casting the most powerful genjutsu of any ninja around (considering the power of Itachi) that would explain Madara's desire to eliminate Danzo.
Now as for the MS, since Shisui had it too, then it should be clear now that the requirement stated by Itachi is not entirely accurate. I believe Itachi made the statement to Sasuke, in order to keep him from reaching for such power. Shisui and Itachi were supposed to be best friends even as close as brothers. Then how would you explain Shisui's MS if Itachi was alive? Itachi always seems to speak in code to everyone around him. Even doing so when telling you the truth, but managing to twist it around so that there is a falsehood to the truth he is speaking.
