Then, Itachi Uchiha belatedly asked, "So, did you also find out about the Akatsuki organization through your eye technique, Brother Qiu?"
When Uchiha Shisui saw that Uchiha Itachi had realized what was going on, he simply smiled, because he had already guessed it when Uchiha Kakuzan gave him and Uchiha Itachi the mission.
When faced with Itachi Uchiha's question, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded and instructed, "So, what I said before was all true, not some fabricated information. Therefore, you and Shisui must be careful when you go on the mission."
Uchiha Itachi nodded and immediately activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, explaining to Uchiha Qiushan, "Brother Qiushan, two dojutsu have also been developed in my Mangekyou Sharingan. The dojutsu in my left eye is called Tsukuyomi. Once activated, it can pull the enemy's spirit into my genjutsu space. In the Tsukuyomi world, everything, including time, space, and mass, is under my control. The immense pain the enemy suffers in my genjutsu space will be reflected back onto him, causing a devastating blow to his spirit."
"The eye technique of the right eye is called Amaterasu. After the eye technique is activated, it can release a very powerful black flame by focusing the gaze. Once it is burned, it cannot be extinguished until the target is completely burned. However, this eye technique puts a lot of strain on the eyes, so you must be careful when using it, otherwise it will cause irreversible visual degeneration."
When Uchiha Kakuyama heard Uchiha Itachi introduce his eye technique, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that although he had helped Uchiha Itachi awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan earlier, it hadn't changed his eye technique. That was good. He was afraid that his appearance would change Uchiha Itachi's eye technique. If he had awakened some useless eye technique, Uchiha Itachi's future would probably be bleak.
After introducing his eye technique, Itachi Uchiha looked into Uchiha Kyuuyama's eyes and said seriously, "Kyuuyama-nii saved the lives of the Uchiha clan and Shisui-nii. Although Kyuuyama-nii didn't say what Sasuke and I's future fate would be, even my parents were killed, so I guess Sasuke and I wouldn't have a good fate. In that sense, Kyuuyama-nii also changed Sasuke and I's fate."
Therefore, I trust Brother Qiushan. Although I haven't spent much time with him, I would entrust my life to him, just like Brother Zhishui.
Uchiha Itachi paused for a moment, then continued, "Now that we know about Brother Qiushan's Mangekyou Sharingan techniques, I am willing to pass on my own techniques to Brother Qiushan so that they can be of some use to him."
Looking into Itachi Uchiha's sincere eyes, Uchiha Kakuyama replied earnestly, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down with your eye technique."
Next, Uchiha Kazuyama activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and successfully copied Uchiha Itachi's eye technique. At the moment Uchiha Kazuyama copied the eye technique, the system's voice rang out in his mind.
"Congratulations, host, you have successfully copied the eye technique 'Tsukuyomi'. The system is currently learning and digesting it, and it is expected to be usable in 3 hours..."
"Congratulations, host, you have successfully copied the eye technique 'Amaterasu.' The system is currently learning and digesting it, and it is expected to be usable in 5 hours..."
Uchiha Kakuyama was puzzled by the system's prompt. In his opinion, Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu were both very practical eye techniques and their value should be about the same. Why did it take longer to learn Amaterasu than Tsukuyomi?
Then, Uchiha Kakuyama realized that the functions of Tsukuyomi and Uchiha Fugaku's dojutsu, Illusion, overlapped to some extent, while Amaterasu was a completely new dojutsu. Therefore, the learning time for Amaterasu would be longer than the learning and digestion time for Tsukuyomi.
After copying all of Itachi Uchiha's eye techniques, Uchiha Kakuyama had achieved his goal. He then chatted with Shisui and Itachi for a while, reminding Itachi to take care of his health and not to overuse the Mangekyou Sharingan to avoid overexerting his body and triggering a bloodline disease.
Seeing Uchiha Kakuzan repeatedly reminding Uchiha Itachi to take care of his health, not only Itachi but also Uchiha Shisui sensed something was wrong. Kakuzan possessed a dojutsu called precognition, and although he hadn't explicitly told them, their intuition told them what was happening—it must be a problem with Itachi's health in the future. For a moment, not only Itachi but even Shisui's mood darkened.
Looking at the two dejected men before him, Uchiha Kakuyama patted them on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I'll find a solution."
Uchiha Shisui and Itachi were no ordinary people. After a brief period of depression, they regained control of their emotions and, with Uchiha Kakuzan's comfort, rekindled their fighting spirit. After all, the future is not immutable. Even Shisui's death could be changed, so saving Uchiha Itachi's life should not be difficult.
Looking at the two who had recovered, Uchiha Kakuzan thought to himself, "Tsunade, the future Fifth Hokage, whether for Mikoto or for my clan, I must end your journey. I believe you've had enough fun outside, so let you come back early to take over the Hokage position. I believe your teacher, Sarutobi, will be very happy to do so."
Uchiha Kakuyama looked at the distant sea again, admiring the scenery. Once Shisui and the other had calmed down, he led them back to their original spot.
After Uchiha Kazuyama returned, the First Elder, Uchiha Ryo, had already discussed the matter with Uchiha Fugaku. He told Fugaku to go back first, and he, as the First Elder, would temporarily take his place and lead the clan members to build up the clan's territory. After some time, Kazuyama would be sent back as the clan leader to fulfill his duties as the clan leader.
Chapter 96 The Clan Chief's Courage
Chapter Ninety-Six: The Clan Chief's Courage
Uchiha Kakuyama glanced at the calm-faced Uchiha Fugaku, but said nothing. He simply spoke a few words with the elder, then placed enough supplies for the clansmen to live on for several months in an open space. He then led Uchiha Fugaku, Shisui, Itachi, and some clansmen who wanted to return to rest back to the Naga Shrine in the Uchiha clan territory using the eye technique Takamagahara.
However, Fugaku Uchiha, as the clan leader, did not immediately disband the clan. Instead, he gathered the clan members together and prepared to give them some instructions.
As the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha always had a stern face, so many clan members were afraid of him, including the elite members of the Uchiha clan.
When Fugaku Uchiha gathered his clansmen, they all obediently came forward without a single objection. Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha exchanged a glance and, like the rest of their clansmen, came before Fugaku.
Fugaku Uchiha stood in the main hall of the Naka Shrine, with the tall statue of the deity usually enshrined behind him. Against the backdrop of the fierce statue, Fugaku Uchiha seemed even more menacing.
Looking at Uchiha Fugaku in front of him, Uchiha Kakuzan felt uneasy. If he didn't know that Uchiha Fugaku had been hit by his Kotoamatsukami, he would have been ready to run away at any time.
Fugaku Uchiha looked at the group of clansmen in front of him with a stern and oppressive expression, and said in a serious tone: "Clan members, you are all the elite of our Uchiha clan, and the future of our Uchiha clan. I believe that after this exploration and cleanup mission on Uzushima Island, you are very clear in your hearts that it is the future clan land of our Uchiha clan."
Therefore, during this return for rest and recuperation, I, in the name of the clan head, beg you all not to reveal the new address of our clan's territory. This concerns the future safety of our Uchiha clan. From this moment on, keep this matter sealed in your hearts. Do not think about it, do not think about it, do not speak of it, do not mention it, and do not leave any information in any way. Stay at home if you can, and even if you go out, try not to leave the clan's territory. If you want to buy something, you can ask your family or companions for help. If you need to take care of something, please trust the clan; I will handle it for you perfectly.”
Because Uchiha Kakuzan had mentioned some fragments of the future to Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Fugaku knew that the future Konoha Village would face various risks, he did not want the Uchiha clan to be involved. Therefore, Uchiha Fugaku had to take good precautions to keep the new Uchiha clan territory a secret. As long as you could not find me, even if you wanted to target me, you would not be able to.
Fugaku Uchiha suddenly glanced at Uchiha Kakuzan standing beside him and said, "Also, regarding Vice Clan Leader Uchiha Kakuzan's space-time ninjutsu, the level of secrecy measures he has are the same as those at the new clan base. Don't talk about these things, even at home. After all, not only do walls have ears, but secret techniques like those of the Yamanaka clan can also reveal your secrets. So, for the safety of your family and the future of our Uchiha clan, please keep this strictly confidential. I beg you."
As he spoke, Uchiha Fugaku, the clan leader, actually bent down and bowed to the clansmen in front of him.
Seeing that Uchiha Fugaku actually bowed to them, not only Uchiha Kakuzan, but even these clan members were startled. After all, Uchiha Fugaku was their clan leader, and he usually had a fierce face. This change was too shocking for them. At the same time, they understood how much the clan leader valued them. They also hurriedly bowed back and said in unison, "For the glory of the Uchiha, rest assured, clan leader."
Meanwhile, those clansmen who were somewhat dissatisfied, having already toiled for so many days outside and finally returned to rest, were now making demands. However, under Fugaku Uchiha's bow, their dissatisfaction had long since vanished.
Fugaku Uchiha raised his head, looked at the excited faces of his clansmen, gave them a few words of encouragement, and then waved his hand to dismiss them.
Uchiha Kakuzan watched the whole process from the sidelines and was filled with admiration for Uchiha Fugaku's methods. He never expected that this Uchiha Fugaku with thick eyebrows and big eyes would have such a trick up his sleeve.
Of all those present, only Uchiha Shisui, Itachi, and Fugaku were not swayed by his emotions. The reason for this was not their strong will, but rather their status. Whether it was Uchiha Itachi, the son of the clan head, Uchiha Kakuzan, the vice-clan head, or the genius Uchiha Shisui, their status was closer to that of Uchiha Fugaku, so they did not react much to his courteous gestures. The ordinary clan members, on the other hand, were already moved by the clan head's aura.
After the clansmen left the Nanga Shrine in twos and threes, only the four of them remained.
Fugaku Uchiha looked at Itachi Uchiha and Shisui and said, "Itachi, you and Shisui should go back first, so your mother won't worry. I still have some things to discuss with Kyuyama. Tell your mother to prepare more food. I'll be going back with Kyuyama-kun in a bit. Shisui, you should eat before you go back."
Itachi Uchiha glanced at his father, then at Uchiha Kakuyama, and nodded without saying a word. He then returned home with Shisui Uchiha.
After the two had walked away, Uchiha Fugaku complained to Uchiha Kyuuyama, "Kyuuyama-kun, you were so careless! How did you get Mikoto pregnant? Luckily, I didn't tell anyone about my injury there; only Mikoto knew. If Itachi knew about my injury, he would become suspicious, which would not only hurt Itachi but also affect the relationship between mother and child. That would make Mikoto so heartbroken."
If the clan members find out the child isn't mine, it will severely damage my authority as clan head and cause disharmony and conflict within the Uchiha clan.
When Uchiha Kakuzan heard Uchiha Fugaku's complaints, he touched his nose awkwardly. He couldn't answer these questions. After all, Mikoto was Uchiha Fugaku's wife. Although he liked Mikoto and she liked him (though it was due to the influence of Kotoamatsukami), Uchiha Kakuzan still felt awkward in front of the person in question.
Therefore, Uchiha Kakuzan could only try to fool Uchiha Fugaku once again.
Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Uchiha Fugaku, suddenly activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, stared directly into Fugaku's eyes, and said, "Clan leader, look at my eyes, is there anything different from before?"
Chapter 97 A Brief Discussion on the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan
Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Brief Discussion of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan
Fugaku Uchiha remained unmoved by Uchiha Kikuzan's awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan. After all, he was willing to give his life to Kikuzan if he wanted to, so he wasn't worried that Kikuzan would harm him.
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Uchiha Fugaku noticed that Uchiha Kakuyama's Mangekyou Sharingan was different from the ones he had seen before. Not only were the patterns more refined, but they were also much more complex. If one looked closely, one could also faintly sense a sense of oppression.
Looking into Uchiha Kakuyama's eyes, Fugaku Uchiha suddenly seemed to realize something unbelievable. His expression could no longer be contained, and his face was filled with astonishment. His pupils seemed to have been stimulated, and they contracted violently for a moment. He exclaimed, "You have the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?"
Uchiha Kakuzan was surprised that Uchiha Fugaku could recognize his eyes as the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan so quickly. However, considering the stone tablet at the Naka Shrine and the fact that Uchiha Fugaku also possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, it was not surprising that he knew these things.
Since Uchiha Fugaku had already recognized his eyes, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't keep him in suspense any longer and readily nodded in acknowledgment of Uchiha Fugaku's guess.
Fugaku Uchiha's surprise at receiving Uchiha Kakuzan's acknowledgment did not diminish at all, because he believed that there was only one way to upgrade from the Mangekyou Sharingan to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan: to sacrifice the blindness of one's closest relative and transfer their Mangekyou Sharingan to oneself in order to obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Uchiha Kakuzan is now an orphan. He has lost not only his brothers and sisters, but also his parents. He has no close relatives left. Under these circumstances, he somehow obtained the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan without anyone noticing. This is what makes Uchiha Fugaku extremely puzzled.
Uchiha Okayama looked at Uchiha Fugaku and asked, "You also saw that stone tablet at the Naka Shrine?"
Although Fugaku Uchiha didn't understand why Okayama Uchiha was asking this question, he still answered honestly, "Yes, I saw it. I also saw the method for advancing the Mangekyou Sharingan from there. I can't see the later content. I guess it requires a more advanced Mangekyou Sharingan." As he spoke, Fugaku Uchiha glanced at Okayama Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan again.
Uchiha Kakuzan understood Uchiha Fugaku's thoughts perfectly well. He waved his hand and said, "Forget about what's on the stone tablet. Although the content is true, it's mainly misleading and the information is incomplete."
Fugaku Uchiha was even more surprised when he heard what Uchiha Kakuyama said: "This stone tablet is a treasure of our Uchiha clan. Although it is not a powerful weapon, it has been passed down for many years. It is said that this stone tablet has been in the clan since our Uchiha clan appeared in the ninja world. How could the records on it be wrong?"
Uchiha Kakuyama looked at the clan leader in front of him, who had been fooled just like Uchiha Madara. Knowing that he couldn't convince him without offering something, he pointed to his eyes and said, "I didn't say that what it recorded was wrong, it's just that the record is incomplete. Moreover, the method for advancing the Mangekyou Sharingan that it left behind was also a wrong path."
My Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is proof of that. I don't have any close relatives who could give me a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan; I figured it out myself."
As Uchiha Kakuyama spoke, he seemed to remember something, patted his head, and casually took a scroll from his spatial storage, tossing it to Uchiha Fugaku: "This scroll has been passed down from our Uchiha clan. It was from this scroll that I got inspiration and found the method to evolve the Mangekyou Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."
Fugaku Uchiha took the scroll and quickly opened it to read it. After all, the side effects of the Mangekyou Sharingan and the method to advance to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan had been tormenting him for the past few years. Especially after learning that Itachi Uchiha had also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan these past few days, although he was very happy about Itachi Uchiha's talent, finding another method to advance the Mangekyou Sharingan was also urgent.
After all, he has two sons, but he only has one pair of Mangekyou Sharingan. If Uchiha Sasuke also awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future, is he going to just watch one of his sons go blind?
The scroll contained very little information, and Fugaku Uchiha finished reading it in no time. However, after reading it, Fugaku still didn't gain any inspiration from it. He looked up at Uchiha Kakuyama with a somewhat blank expression: "This records the origin of our Uchiha clan, the life story of our ancestor Indra? I basically knew all of that when I was a child. There's no mention of how to advance the Mangekyou Sharingan."
Uchiha Kakuzan snatched the scroll back from Uchiha Fugaku's hand with an annoyance: "It's because we've known this since we were little that we take it for granted. You've seen it yourself, Indra had no brothers (because of his conflict with Ashura, he didn't acknowledge Ashura as his brother). So tell me, what does it mean that Indra didn't go blind even in his old age?"
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's question, Fugaku Uchiha blurted out, "Indra's eyes were of course the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."
Before Fugaku Uchiha could finish speaking, he seemed to remember something and murmured, "Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, no brothers, no brothers..."
Then, as if startled awake, Fugaku Uchiha looked at Uchiha Kakuyama beside him, staring intently at him. He was so excited that even his Sharingan involuntarily activated.
Seeing that Uchiha Fugaku had finally understood, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't mind his rude attitude and said, "I was also inspired by this record. Although Indra was exceptionally talented, he didn't have any brothers. How did he evolve the Mangekyou Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?"
"After many experiments, I finally evolved my Mangekyou Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."
Uchiha Kakuyama glanced at Uchiha Fugaku, knowing he was in a hurry, so he stopped teasing him and continued, "I observed and felt that when my Sharingan evolved from the Three-Tomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyou Sharingan, not only did my chakra and spiritual power increase exponentially, but our own Yin attribute also increased a lot. Moreover, as the level of the divine power of the Mangekyou Sharingan—Susanoo—that I mastered became higher and higher, my own Yin attribute also became higher and higher. Therefore, I had a bold idea."
Chapter 98 Itachi Uchiha and Izumi Uchiha
Chapter Ninety-Eight: Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Izumi
Uchiha Kakuyama paused for a moment, then continued, "I guessed that as our Yin attribute and spiritual power grow stronger, our Mangekyou Sharingan will become stronger and stronger, until it exceeds a limit, at which point our Mangekyou Sharingan will evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."
At this point, Uchiha Kakuyama pointed to his eyes and said with some pride, "As it turns out, my guess was right. As long as I keep stimulating my mental power, developing my Yin attribute, and perhaps adding a certain degree of physical strength, I can evolve my Mangekyou Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."
Furthermore, when one's own conditions are close to the ideal, one can actually vaguely sense which aspects they haven't met. Therefore, unless one's talent is truly insufficient, one will not resort to such bloody and inhumane methods.
After processing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Fugaku Uchiha let out a deep breath, finally understanding the situation. This way, Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha would have another option and wouldn't have to fight each other anymore.
Then, Fugaku Uchiha returned to the original topic, "So how did you get Mikoto pregnant? Fortunately, I wasn't away from Uzushima for very long, so it happened before I went there."
When Uchiha Kakuzan heard Uchiha Fugaku bring up the old matter again, he touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and explained, "Recently, the clan has been advocating for more children to strengthen the Uchiha clan, right? And I was also a little curious whether children with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan would have high talent. So, without thinking, I got Mikoto pregnant."
After Uchiha Kakuyama finished speaking, he realized that his reasoning was somewhat untenable, and he laughed awkwardly a few times.
Fugaku Uchiha hadn't expected Uchiha Kakuzan to give him this reason, so he could only give Uchiha Kakuzan a deep look before turning around and walking out, saying, "Mikoto should have prepared the food by now. Don't go looking for food elsewhere. Come to my house. Sasuke is about to start school, so you should also fulfill your responsibilities as his teacher."
Upon hearing what Uchiha Fugaku said, Uchiha Kakuzan realized that he did indeed have business at Fugaku's house, so he could only chuckle awkwardly and scratch the back of his head. He then shamelessly followed behind Fugaku to his house for a free meal.
When the two arrived at the clan chief's house, Sister Mikoto had already prepared the meal with two maids and was waiting for them.
Fugaku Uchiha sat in the main seat, and Okayama Uchiha sat in the secondary seat. Since there were no outsiders present, Mikoto also sat in a seat next to them.
However, Itachi Uchiha was acting strangely. He seemed restless and had completely lost his usual composure. He would glance at the little maid standing next to him every now and then, as if he had something to say but couldn't say it.
Sitting in the main seat, Fugaku Uchiha had already noticed Itachi Uchiha's unusual behavior. Without thinking much of it, he simply put down his chopsticks and said to Itachi Uchiha with a serious expression, "Itachi, mind your manners."
Itachi Uchiha then realized that he had indeed been behaving strangely. After apologizing to Fugaku Uchiha, he returned to normal.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Kakuzan was secretly laughing to himself.
Uchiha Okayama picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, but his eyes secretly glanced at the serious-looking Uchiha Itachi and the obedient little maid Uchiha Izumi standing next to him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
One of the reasons he shamelessly came to Fugaku Uchiha's house for a free meal was to see Itachi Uchiha meet his girlfriend; it would definitely be quite interesting.
Therefore, Uchiha Kazuyama secretly smiled to himself when he saw Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Izumi trying their best to pretend they didn't know each other.
After everyone finished eating, Uchiha Shisui didn't stay long. After all, it wasn't his own home, and he felt uncomfortable staying there. He soon bid farewell to Uchiha Fugaku. Uchiha Fugaku didn't try to keep him either, since he and Shisui had just returned from Uzushio Island and were both tired and needed to go back and rest.
When Uchiha Kakuyama saw Shisui take his leave, he also took the opportunity to say goodbye to Uchiha Fugaku. His main reason for coming here was to see Uchiha Itachi make a fool of himself, and now that he had achieved his goal, he naturally wanted to make a quick getaway.
And so, Uchiha Kakuyama and Shisui bid each other farewell and went out.
Once outside the clan head's gate, Uchiha Shisui relaxed considerably. It had been a long time since he and Uchiha Kakuyama had had a proper chat, so the two chatted as they walked home.
Uchiha Shisui's house and Uchiha Kakuzan's house were in the same direction. However, Uchiha Shisui's house was closer to the clan head's house, so the two of them arrived at Uchiha Shisui's house first. Just as Uchiha Shisui was about to say goodbye to Uchiha Kakuzan, Uchiha Kakuzan had already followed him to the door and was looking at him with a smile.
Uchiha Shisui was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood. Without saying anything, he opened the door and led Uchiha Kakuyama inside.
