Naruto: My Sharingan is about to burst!

Uchiha Kakuyama touched his eyes, which still felt a little swollen, and turned off his Mangekyou Sharingan, his eyes returning to their jet-black pupils.

Uchiha Kakuyama blinked to relieve the soreness in his eyes. He felt that it wasn't a big problem and that his eyes would return to normal once they adjusted.

Immediately afterward, Uchiha Kakuzan closed his eyes and began examining his own dojutsu. (Actually, he didn't need to close his eyes, but that would make him look rather dull.)

As expected, the Sharingan truly lives up to its reputation as the eye that reflects the soul. The condition for awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan is a strong emotional fluctuation in the user, such as the tragic death of a loved one, the murder of a dear friend, or betrayal. Because most intense emotional fluctuations are negative, the Second Hokage considered the Uchiha clan an evil clan. The awakening of the Mangekyou Sharingan is often accompanied by bad things happening, thus the Sharingan is considered an ominous power.

However, the Second Hokage didn't think too deeply about it. It was precisely because the Uchiha clan loved so deeply that they experienced such intense emotional fluctuations and went to extremes when they lost that love.

The Sharingan is also called the Eye of the Mind, and it will awaken the corresponding eye technique according to the strong desire you have when you awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

For example, Obito said, "I want to create a world with Rin," so he developed a space-time genjutsu. Shisui hoped that the village and his people could live in peace, so he awakened the ultimate genjutsu.

With the system's prompts, Uchiha Kakuzan kept silently telling himself that he had indeed obtained the eye technique he wanted—the Eye of Copying.

It has the same name as the eye technique that Uchiha Kakuzan used to trick Uchiha Shisui, and similar functions.

However, perhaps due to the system, the eye technique he awakened could no longer replicate the Mangekyou Sharingan, but it reached an unexpectedly powerful limit in replicating other bloodline limits.

Now, wherever his Mangekyou Sharingan gazes, he can see through illusions and reach the essence. Whether it's a bloodline limit, a secret technique, or a ninjutsu that ordinary people can't learn, as long as he has time or sees the process of casting the technique, he can copy it.

However, although pupil techniques are powerful and have a wide range of applications, they still have limitations.

Bloodline limits cannot be copied indefinitely. Besides Uchiha Kakuzan's own Sharingan bloodline limit, six other types can be copied. This is the limit that the Mangekyou Sharingan can copy. However, as Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan upgrades to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan or the Rinnegan, the number that can be copied should be able to increase.

In fact, bloodline limits also have levels. For example, Hashirama Senju's Wood Release, the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, the Tsuchikage's Dust Release, and Mei Terumi's Lava Release and Boil Release are all top-tier bloodline limits. However, Hayate Gekko's Permeation Release and Pakura of Sunagakure's Scorch Release are slightly lower than Wood Release and Dust Release. Of course, there are no useless bloodline limits, only useless people. Even if you possess Wood Release, can you guarantee you can become the next Hashirama Senju?

The limitation of this eye technique is that it cannot copy bloodline limits of a higher level than itself (of course, in the current Naruto world, we can assume that this limitation does not exist, because there are no bloodline limits of a higher level than the Sharingan yet).

Uchiha Okayama's Mangekyou Sharingan is different from the previous three-tomoe Sharingan. As a higher-level Sharingan, it can copy various bloodline limits, secret techniques, and ninjutsu in the ninja world, and can also be fed back to itself.

Uchiha Kakuyama nearly jumped for joy upon seeing this. He knew that the ninja world not only possessed many bloodline limits that even he coveted, but also many powerful ninjutsu that couldn't be copied or learned with just the three-tomoe Sharingan.

For example, the Raikage's series of techniques, which enhanced his Lightning Release, as well as the flying ninjutsu that is relatively rare in the entire ninja world, the Tsuchikage's Light and Heavy Rock Technique, and the Fourth Hokage's signature technique, Flying Thunder God Technique—these are all ninjutsu that Uchiha Kakuyama has been eyeing for a long time.

These ninjutsu techniques are either top secrets belonging to other ninja villages, or they have very high learning requirements and require extremely high talent.

Uchiha Kakuzan, relying on his Mangekyou Sharingan, could easily learn any ninjutsu he saw. These ninjutsu were comparable to bloodline limits, and learning any of them would greatly increase Uchiha Kakuzan's survivability.

Moreover, learning these techniques is a gain, because they are not bloodline limits, so there is no limit to the number of them, and they do not conflict with each other and can complement each other.

As for secret techniques, doesn't Konoha Village have many? The most famous and outstanding should be the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. Apart from the Akimichi clan's secret techniques, which involve Yang-attribute chakra and are difficult for Uchiha Kakuzan to learn for the time being, the rest, whether it's the Nara clan's Shadow Imitation Technique series or the Yamanaka clan's Mind Transfer Technique, should be easy for Uchiha Kakuzan, who has ample Yin-attribute chakra, to copy.

Furthermore, if your enemy has a skillful escape ninjutsu or secret technique, then even if he manages to escape from you once, he will not be able to escape a second time, because you will have already discerned his ninjutsu the first time he tried to escape.

Just like the Saint Seiya said, you can never defeat me twice with the same move.

Uchiha Kakuzan was very satisfied with this eye technique. He didn't lack powerful ninjutsu, and he had the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami. For physical attacks, he could use Gundam and Susanoo. So what he needed now was an eye technique that could improve his weaknesses and add various tricks. Only by making up for his shortcomings, or rather his weaknesses, could he go further on the path of a ninja.

Next, Uchiha Kakuzan examined the eye techniques of his other Mangekyou Sharingan.

The eye technique—Takamagahara—is a space-time eye technique that has always been rare in the Uchiha clan. Similar to Kamui, Takamagahara is also a space-time eye technique that connects to an island in an unknown space.

Once Uchiha Kakuzan activates his eye technique, he can travel to the island in this space. Unlike the Kamui dimension, this space has day and night, and the island has water and plants, but no animals.

The difference between Takamagahara and Kamui is that Takamagahara does not possess the ability to intangibly move a part of his body into space when attacked.

Compared to Kamui, Takamagahara allows the use of the Sharingan to mark spatial imprints. These imprints are invisible and can be placed on physical objects or in the void. Wherever there is a spatial imprint, no matter how far, Uchiha Kakuzan can arrive instantly. It's even more convenient than the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Chapter 21 The Land of Whirlpools

Chapter Twenty-One: The Land of Whirlpools

Uchiha Kakuzan never expected that he would also awaken the rare space-time jutsu.

He originally planned to wait until his Sharingan reached the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and he could copy the eye technique again, then find a way to kidnap Kakashi, or control him with Kotoamatsukami, so that he could copy Kakashi's Sharingan eye technique—Kamui.

Unexpectedly, before he could even take any action, he had already awakened a space-time jutsu, and it was even more practical than Obito Uchiha's Kamui space, because he could live in this Takamagahara space for a long time.

Furthermore, spatial markings can be used to travel, but it feels like this eye technique, compared to Kamui and Flying Thunder God, doesn't play a significant role in battle. Although Takamagahara can mark spatial marks, when jumping, one needs to go into the Takamagahara space before jumping based on the mark. In a duel between experts, these minor delays can determine the outcome.

However, Uchiha Kakuzan still felt he had struck gold. He could copy and learn the Flying Thunder God Technique and Kamui again later, but a space where he could live for a long time was extremely rare. Even Obito Uchiha's Kamui space had a time limit. (He almost got blown up by Konan's explosive tags.)

This is equivalent to Uchiha Kakuzan having a stable rear base, which can be used for both offense and defense. If things go wrong, he can hide inside without fear of traps or encirclement. As long as Uchiha Kakuzan stays inside and doesn't come out, even the Sage of Six Paths can't do anything to him.

Furthermore, after exploring this eye technique, Uchiha Kakuzan discovered that this spatial mark could be placed on other people, and the person who possessed this mark could activate it with chakra and come to the island in the Takamagahara space, which was equivalent to the person reversing their summoning to Uchiha Kakuzan's space.

Uchiha Kakuzan could easily mark this spatial mark on someone important to him. Of course, if he wanted to take back the mark, it would be up to him to do so, so he wouldn't have to worry about the safety of the people he cared about.

······

Uchiha Kakuyama slowly opened his eyes, rubbing his temples in annoyance. It seemed that with the awakening of his two eye techniques, he would have to change his original plans.

Originally, Uchiha Kakuzan planned to use the incident of Uchiha Shisui's death to move the clan's territory to a place not far from the village. This would not only ease the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village, but also allow them to escape the surveillance of the Third Hokage and Danzo. Moreover, since the clan's territory was not far from Konoha, they would not have to worry about enemies coming to besiege them.

But now that Uchiha Kakuzan has awakened a space-time ninjutsu, and one that allows him to travel freely throughout the entire ninja world, he can easily move the Uchiha clan far away from Konoha, completely severing their ties with the village. Because of this space-time ninjutsu, if the Uchiha clan encounters an enemy they cannot defeat, Kakuzan can return at any time upon receiving notification.

It's important to understand that Konoha Village will be a place of great turmoil in the future. As the nominal number one ninja village in the ninja world, it naturally attracts a lot of attention.

Not to mention the Otsutsuki clan who will frequently visit Konoha in the future, just a few years from now, some antisocial individual who can carry a bag of rice up several floors will come to Konoha and unleash a "Super Shinra Tensei," leveling the entire village to the ground—yes, very flat.

If ninjas still have some ability to protect themselves, then those clansmen who did not become ninjas are almost powerless to resist this ninjutsu, which is almost like a natural disaster.

Therefore, this is also a good opportunity for the Uchiha clan to leave Konoha and stay away from trouble. Moreover, since you have been wary of me and don't want me to grow stronger, I will simply leave this game of the ninja village and walk away, no longer playing with you.

The Uchiha clan hadn't seized the opportunity before, clinging tightly to the police force like a precious treasure. Little did they know, the police force was a place where they could offend people and had no say. Now, the huge pie that was Konoha Village had already been divided up by other large and small clans in Konoha.

If the Uchiha clan wants to ease tensions with the residents of Konoha, they must abandon the police force, an organization that offends people. At the very least, they cannot allow the Uchiha clan to stand alone against the residents of Konoha.

If the Uchiha clan wants to grow stronger, it will inevitably encroach on the interests of others, leading to constant conflicts with other clans, large and small. Furthermore, if the Uchiha clan becomes too powerful and makes too much noise, it may provoke a united resistance from these other clans.

Don't think that 'Kotoamatsukami' is omnipotent. After all, the cooldown time of 'Kotoamatsukami' is too long, and the number of people it can change is also limited.

Moreover, Uchiha Kakuzan understood that in the ninja world, everything else was fake; only one's own power was real.

Uchiha Kakuyama rubbed his head in distress. It seemed that if he wanted the Uchiha clan to prosper, he still had to separate the Uchiha from Konoha. The Uchiha clan also had its own pride and would not break its backbone in order to get along well with the residents of Konoha.

Now that the decision has been made to remove the Uchiha clan from Konoha, there is still much to be done.

Before the Uchiha Shisui incident, a suitable location for the Uchiha clan should be chosen. Ideally, it should be surrounded by the sea, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and geographically far away from other countries, not next to them.

Uchiha Kakuzan got up and went to the bookshelf, taking out a map of the ninja world. In this era, a relatively accurate map was considered a strategic resource. If Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't become a Jonin, he wouldn't have had such a map.

Qiu Shan spread the map on the table and carefully searched for places that met his requirements. The main places were overseas islands or coastal areas.

As the sun rose to its zenith, Uchiha Kakuyama looked at the map with a complex expression, his eyes fixed on a particular spot. It was a large island, surrounded by the sea, not far from the mainland, and had arable land and water sources, more than enough to support tens of thousands of people, perfectly meeting Uchiha Kakuyama's requirements.

What gave Uchiha Kakuzan a complicated expression was the name marked on this island—the Land of Whirlpools.

Yes, that's Kushina Uzumaki's homeland, the place where the Uzumaki clan established their nation. The Uzumaki clan are distant relatives of the Senju clan, inheriting part of the Sage of Six Paths' Sage Body, and are known for their massive chakra reserves, powerful vitality, and sealing techniques.

Because of the long-standing friendship with the Senju clan, and because the wife of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was the Uzumaki clan princess, Mito Uzumaki, she sealed the Nine-Tails into herself to assist Hashirama Senju in managing Konoha, becoming the first Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails.

Chapter 22 Persuading the Grand Elder

Chapter Twenty-Two: Persuading the Grand Elder

The seeds of the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools were sown at this time.

In order to maintain peace among the various countries and balance their power, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, distributed the One-Tailed to Eight-Tailed beasts to the various ninja villages.

While the First Hokage was alive, other ninja villages dared not harbor ill intentions. However, after the deaths of the First and Second Hokage, the Senju clan lacked capable figures, and the Uzumaki clan's top combat leader also passed away. In order to obtain the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques, which could seal their own village's tailed beasts and obtain their own Jinchuriki, various ninja villages launched an invasion of the Land of Whirlpools.

When faced with the Uzumaki clan's plea for help, the Third Hokage had many ulterior motives. He delayed responding to the call for help, citing the fact that the village was going through a war and lacked manpower, which led to the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools and the theft of the sealing techniques.

To the Third Hokage's surprise, each ninja village successively acquired its own Jinchūriki, and some villages even directly possessed perfect Jinchūriki, greatly increasing their combat power and putting Konoha Village in a very passive position.

In summary, the Land of Whirlpools possessed what all the other ninja villages desperately needed, yet lacked powerful figures they feared. Meanwhile, Konoha, which had always maintained friendly relations with the Land of Whirlpools, proved unreliable this time (it could also be another political exchange orchestrated by the Third Hokage), leading to the Land's annihilation.

Therefore, don't rely on others for everything; in critical moments, only you can truly depend on yourself.

Uchiha Kakuzan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then forcefully pointed his finger at the location of the Land of Whirlpools, thus determining the future clan home of the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan is not lacking in skilled fighters. Including Itachi Uchiha, there are four pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan. Although Shisui Uchiha's eye techniques cannot be used lightly, it doesn't prevent him from activating Susanoo. Moreover, even without using the Mangekyou Sharingan, Shisui Uchiha is still a Kage-level fighter.

The Uchiha clan has far more skilled fighters than the Uzumaki clan back then, and they also have quite a few Kage-level fighters. I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to provoke the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Kakuzan activated his Sharingan and carefully memorized the map spread out on the table. After tidying up his room, he didn't rush to discuss the relocation with the elder and clan head. Besides, even if the Uchiha clan moved away, a small group would remain in Konoha to take care of the students studying there. After all, building clan land was easy, but setting up a school was not something that could be done in a short time.

After lunch, Uchiha Kakuyama brewed a cup of tea, sat under the shade of a tree in the courtyard, looked at the clan emblem on the courtyard wall that resembled a ping-pong paddle, took a sip of tea, and let out a satisfied sigh.

From yesterday when I received the system until now, it's only been one day. With the system's help and my own wisdom, I've crossed the threshold of the Sharingan Mangekyou Sharingan, greatly improving my strength. I'm no longer an unknown Uchiha Jonin, but someone who can step out of the game and become the actual ruler of the Uchiha clan, the one who plays the game.

Time flies, and an afternoon has passed in the blink of an eye. Uchiha Okayama's Sharingan has finally adapted and is no longer sore and swollen.

Next, we need to visit the Grand Elder and get him to agree to the Uchiha relocation. As for the clan head, we also need to make a show of it and go through the motions.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, Uchiha Kakuyama entered the Great Elder's courtyard. Since the Great Elder's wife had died, and the Great Elder disliked having anyone serve him, this rather large courtyard was inhabited only by the Great Elder.

Uchiha Kakuzan knocked on the door slowly and deliberately, and only entered after hearing the elder's response.

The First Elder, Uchiha Rin, was leisurely brewing tea in the reception room, smiling as he said:

"I knew you'd come today."

Uchiha Kakuzan was somewhat surprised: "Did the Grand Elder know I was coming?"

The Grand Elder nodded, replying somewhat mysteriously, "You should have noticed it, right?"

Uchiha Kakuzan was a little confused by the elder's question: "Sensed about what?"

Seeing Qiu Shan's appearance, the First Elder was somewhat disappointed: "Your Mangekyou Sharingan should have awakened their eye techniques by now, right?"

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuzan suddenly realized that the elder thought he had come to ask him about eye techniques. He was about to deny the elder's idea, but then reconsidered and nodded in agreement, only intending to tell him part of the truth.

"Yes, Elder, my Mangekyou Sharingan has awakened a dojutsu, and I've even tried it out, but the result wasn't good, so I've come to ask you for advice."

The elder became interested when he heard that Uchiha Kakuyama had already used his eye technique once.

"You've already used it? What are its effects? You can't use it too often in the future, or it will damage your Sharingan."

Uchiha Kakuzan decided to tell the Grand Elder about the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, hoping it would help persuade the Grand Elder to allow the Uchiha clan to leave Konoha.

Uchiha Kakuyama's expression was somewhat grave:

"My Mangekyou Sharingan's eye technique awakened after I went back last night. It felt very strange, as if this eye technique was naturally embedded in my eyes, and even without activating it, I could understand its general function."

Upon hearing this, the elder nodded: "These are the eye techniques that naturally awaken after the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan evolves into the Mangekyou Sharingan. Everyone is different, and each one is naturally the most suitable for their nature. If a person likes to attack, then the awakened eye technique will most likely be a highly offensive one. If a person likes to hide, then the awakened eye technique should be conducive to concealment. If a person likes to escape, then it may be an eye technique that allows for acceleration or flight."

After the elder finished speaking, he chuckled and said, "I deliberately didn't tell you yesterday, just to give you a surprise. Haha, kid, you were startled yesterday, weren't you?"

Hearing the elder's childlike words, Uchiha Kakuzan almost burst out laughing. He quickly controlled his expression and sighed solemnly, "Elder, do you know what kind of eye technique I awakened?"

At this moment, the First Elder also sensed that something was wrong with Uchiha Kakuyama and his smile disappeared.

"What kind of eye technique is causing you this much discomfort?"

Uchiha Kakuyama raised his head, looked at the elder, twitched his lips, and finally activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, using Uchiha Fugaku's eye technique, Genjutsu. Of course, he didn't use his full strength, only a slight pull, which even an ordinary ninja could easily break free from.
