Promising the future ahead of time, starting with Naruto

Chapter 210 Genichi and Itachi Uchiha

Time flies, and it's already September.

That afternoon, Genichi Kishita arrived at the underground experimental base and watched as the White Zetsu Ada once again cut open the White Zetsu mother body, allowing the newly cultivated Hashirama Sasuke clone to emerge.

"Lord Xuan, I must say, this body is indeed far superior to the one before!"

The moment the Hashirama Sasuke clone opened its mouth, it exuded the aura of White Zetsu.

There's no way around it; this is a clone based on White Zetsu spores, and it inherently possesses White Zetsu consciousness.

Unless Genichi uses his own spores to create spore embryos.

But he doesn't like using his own cells.

"Can you awaken your Sharingan on your own?"

Xuan Yi asked from under the tree.

The Hashirama Sasuke clone said, "This will probably require Lord Genichi's intervention!"

Genichi under the tree turned to Bai Jue and said, "I am now certain that whether or not one can awaken the Rinnegan is not a physical issue, but a mental one."

Ah Da laughed and said, "Of course, after all, we are all artificial humans, so naturally we can't be compared with a genius like you, Master Xuan Yi!"

That flattery was absolutely genuine.

Genichi Shushita nodded in satisfaction, then casually named the new clone "Little Spot," and used his primordial spirit technique to control it with his primordial spirit clone.

Next, they used Electromagnetic Release and Sage Mode to induce Madara to awaken his Sharingan.

Xuan Yi under the tree had already done this on the jade puppet clone before, so he was very familiar with it.

Soon, a pair of Sharingan with three tomoe appeared.

It's still the limit.

This was expected, and Genichi Kishita was not disappointed. He quickly performed the surgery, transplanting the Rinnegan he had previously obtained from the future into the Madara clone, while temporarily transplanting his original three-tomoe Sharingan into his arm.

In this way, Genichi Kishita can further explore the mysteries of the Rinnegan with his transformed Mirror Eye.

Having demonstrated how the research on the Rinnegan had been resolved, Genichi Kishita then visited another laboratory to examine the technology for cultivating reproductive cells and the progress in the technology for cultivating female-induced oocytes.

Even with his previous cheat code, and his future collaboration with Orochimaru, he was still unable to completely solve the problems of these two technologies.

The problem remains unresolved.

difficult!
"Looks like I'll have to cheat and get Snake Auntie for free; he's the real expert in that area."

"otherwise……"

Genichi under the tree thought of the Yin-Yang Escape Technique.

However, his Yin-Yang Escape technique was not enough to accomplish this.

“There’s still a long way to go!”

Genichi sighed under the tree.

The further along the project goes, the more difficult it becomes, and the longer it takes.

And the more this is the case, the more patience is needed to overcome impatience, greed, and rashness.

Sage Mode training, Electromagnetic Release development, and Rinnegan research basically occupied all of Genichi's main body's time each day. The development of other bloodline ninjutsu, and even Yin-Yang Release techniques, was left to shadow clones or puppet clones.

Time is like water.

After visiting Nami's mother that day, Genichi went to help out at his own shop, which was a temporary way to relax his mind.

I didn't expect to see Itachi Uchiha again.

The last time was half a year ago, when the Ninja Academy probably hadn't even started yet, but that's not the case now.

Using shadow clones to attend classes while the real body comes out to eat dumplings?

It's true love!
After serving Itachi Uchiha a plate of three-colored dumplings, Genichi Kinoshita smiled and said, "Itachi, how about we chat for a bit later?"

Uchiha Itachi was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied, "Yes, Lord Genichi."

Looking at Genichi's back under the tree, Itachi Uchiha was very curious about what was going on.

After all, he is now far behind Genichi Kinoshita in both age and status.

Despite his young age, Itachi Uchiha already possessed a relatively mature way of thinking.

After all, he was only four years old when Fugaku Uchiha took him to fight against the Hidden Cloud Village.

After Itachi Uchiha finished eating the three-colored dumplings, Genichi Kinoshita came over and waved, "Let's go!"

The two people, one older and one younger, walked out of the meatball shop.

Genichi, hands in his pockets, looked relaxed and casually asked, "Looks like school courses are pretty boring?"

Itachi Uchiha nodded: "I have already mastered those."

Genichi smiled and asked again, "Have you mastered the nature transformation of Fire Release?"

He remembered that Itachi Uchiha could instantly learn the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

Uchiha Itachi looked up at Genichi under the tree: "Lord Genichi, you have mastered it."

"Do you have a special task for me?"

Under the tree, Genichi raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

"Is it so obvious?"

His thinking is indeed far more mature than that of children his age!
Genichi Shushita personally verified it.

As for the assessment that he had the mindset of a Hokage since childhood, it comes from the assessment of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, in the original timeline.

It's definitely not to say that Itachi Uchiha possessed the mindset of a Hokage at a young age, but rather that Itachi Uchiha was able to focus his attention outside of the Uchiha clan from a young age.

In other words, Itachi Uchiha "opened his eyes to the world" from a young age, and his thinking was not limited to his own clan, but he was able to consider issues from the perspective of the village as a whole.

This is indeed very rare.

Because this is actually against human nature.

Most Uchiha clan members prioritize the interests of the clan, which is only human nature.

Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha are special cases.

Another example is Tobirama Senju, who caused the Senju surname to disappear from Konoha.

As a result, neither Tsunade nor Nawaki used Senju as their surname.

Genichi led Itachi Uchiha to the top of the Hokage Rock, overlooking the thriving Konoha.

The wind made their hair fly.

"Itachi, are you planning to graduate?"

Xuan Yi asked again from under the tree.

Itachi Uchiha hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

At the ninja academy, he felt restricted.

It's so boring, and I have to waste time using my clone to go to class.

He also found it difficult to communicate with his classmates of the same age, as they all seemed too immature to him.

Seeing Itachi Uchiha's expression, Genichi Kishita couldn't help but laugh.

The price of maturity is losing many of the joys of childhood.

This may be related to Fugaku Uchiha's teaching methods.

Look at Naruto, he's having a blast now, sometimes even acting like an older brother and taking Sasuke Uchiha around.

Of course, for Itachi Uchiha, ninjutsu, becoming a ninja, and completing missions might also be a kind of fun.

Just like Genichi Shushita himself, even the tedious research and practice were enjoyable, and the sense of accomplishment was endless, which was the greatest motivation and happiness.

"Itachi, how much do you know about bloodline limits?"

Xuan Yi asked again under the tree.

Itachi Uchiha replied, "Bloodline Limits are formed by the fusion of two nature transformations to create a new nature transformation."

"In addition to Bloodline Limit, there is Bloodline Elimination, which is formed by the fusion of three nature changes to create a new nature change."

"Moreover, they all inherited their lineage through blood."

Genichi Shushita asked, "Oh? It can't be acquired through learning?"

Uchiha Itachi exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Genichi, can bloodline limits be acquired through learning?"

He truly didn't know that.

The teachers at the ninja academy taught that bloodline limits cannot be acquired through learning, and that copying Sharingan techniques is ineffective against bloodline limits and secret ninjutsu.

As for knowledge about bloodline limits, Fugaku Uchiha had not yet taught his son in depth.

In Itachi Uchiha's view, even the Sharingan cannot be copied, so it is naturally impossible to obtain it through learning, which is correct.

"It seems that Chief Fugaku hasn't taught you this knowledge yet."

Genichi Shushita said, "What the school teaches isn't wrong. Bloodline Limits are indeed something that most people can't acquire through learning, but for geniuses, it's not absolute."

"You know about bloodline elimination, so you should know what bloodline elimination exists in the ninja world, right?"

Itachi Uchiha nodded: "The only known bloodline limit is the Second and Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure."

This is mentioned in Konoha's textbooks, after all, the bloodline elimination method is the most special.

Before Xuan Yi mastered Ice Escape under the tree, only two people had mastered it, and one of them had died.

"The Second Tsuchikage and the Third Tsuchikage are not father and son, but master and apprentice."

Genichi Shushita explained with a smile, "The Bloodline Limit Dust Release was developed by the Second Tsuchikage and inherited by his disciple, the Third Tsuchikage. He mastered it through study and training."

"In addition, there is the Magnet Release of Sunagakure, which was first mastered by the Third Kazekage."

Uchiha Itachi said, "I know, it's the one known as the strongest Kazekage, who has the ability to manipulate iron sand."

Genichi Shushita nodded: "That's right. The Third Kazekage mastered Magnet Release by studying the One-Tailed Beast. As for the Tailed Beasts, does Itachi know anything about them?"

Itachi Uchiha shook his head, but his eyes were full of curiosity.

Genichi Shushita said, "Tailed Beasts are chakra aggregates with extremely powerful chakra. There are nine of them in total, named according to the number of their tails."

"The One-Tail's main abilities are Wind Release, Sand Control, and Magnet Release."

"The Third Kazekage's Magnet Release controls iron sand, while the Fourth Kazekage's Magnet Release controls gold sand. The source of both is the One-Tailed Beast."

Itachi Uchiha's eyes shone brightly, his preconceived notions were shattered, and his thirst for knowledge exploded.

Moreover, he quickly realized what was going on and couldn't help but ask, "Then can our Uchiha clan's Sharingan also be obtained through learning and training?"

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "Theoretically, it's possible."

Itachi Uchiha seemed to be deep in thought.

Not everyone in the Uchiha clan can awaken the Sharingan. If it could be awakened through learning and training, then Father would definitely have brought it up.

As Master Xuanyi said before, genius... so it's only in theory.

In the Uchiha clan, if someone is a genius, there shouldn't be any issue with awakening their Sharingan.

But Master Xuan is definitely a genius. Could it be that Master Xuan wants to obtain the Sharingan through learning and cultivation?
Itachi Uchiha's heart skipped a beat, but then he remembered something.

He remembered his father saying that, for some reason, Lord Genichi received a gift from the Uchiha clan and possessed the Sharingan.

Therefore, Master Xuanyi did not find himself because of the Sharingan.

After all, he hadn't awakened the Sharingan himself.

Uchiha Itachi was even more puzzled as he pondered this.

Genichi Shushita turned around, looked down slightly at the little radish-headed Itachi, and said, "Itachi, since you feel that you can no longer gain more knowledge at the Ninja Academy, how about accepting a special mission from me?"

Uchiha Itachi was eager to try after hearing this: "Lord Genichi, is it about bloodline limits?" Genichi nodded: "Since you understood what I just said, you know that bloodline limits and bloodline elimination can be learned, cultivated, and developed by yourself."

"Therefore, I'm giving you the task of developing your bloodline limit."

"So, are you brave enough to take on this mission?"

Even though Itachi Uchiha was much more mature than his peers, he was still a seven-year-old child, and he couldn't help but swallow hard: "I...can I?"

Genichi smiled and said, "If that's not possible, then you still have a lot to learn."

“You are a genius, that must be acknowledged, and you should also be clearly aware of the difference between yourself and ordinary people.”

"So, what can you do after you graduate early?"

“Going on missions, learning ninjutsu, gaining combat experience, mission experience... these are all too ordinary. Besides, the village doesn’t need a kid like you who graduated early to go on missions.”

"Itachi, what do you think the village is lacking?"

Uchiha Itachi said, "A powerful ninja!"

"A ninja as powerful as you, Lord Genichi!"

Shuxia Xuanyi nodded: "Well said."

Itachi Uchiha said, "Then wouldn't it be right for me to graduate early, grow quickly in missions, and protect the village?"

Genichi Kishita affirmed first, "That's certainly true, but as you just said, the village doesn't lack a genius elite Jonin, or even a strong person like the Sannin, but rather someone like me, a strong person who stands at the top of the ninja world."

Genichi Kishita tapped Itachi's forehead and began his aggressive maneuvering: "You're a genius. I believe you have the potential to surpass your father, the Sannin, and even the Kage."

Uchiha Itachi's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Am I really that amazing?
Every character mentioned by Genichi Shushita is someone he currently admires.

Seeing the stunned Itachi Uchiha, Genichi Kishita smiled and said, "How about that?"

"Want to challenge yourself?"

Uchiha Itachi swallowed hard, then nodded: "Yes, Lord Genichi, I'm willing!"

Genichi under the tree was very pleased.

Great, another good seed. It should grow into good chives in the future.

A genius! So young, yet with limitless potential!

As for being an ingrate... Genichi Shushita doesn't care.

Even in the original timeline, Itachi Uchiha's behavior would be considered ungrateful by the Uchiha clan, but by the Konoha leadership, he was a good subordinate!
From an emotional perspective, Genichi Kinoshita also dislikes this kind of person, as their values ​​are inconsistent with his.

But rationally speaking, or rather, from the perspective of "where you stand determines where you think".

Itachi Uchiha could be someone worth nurturing.

There aren't many people like that in the Uchiha clan.

Itachi Uchiha was one, and Shisui Uchiha was another.

Obito Uchiha can only be considered half a person.

Being love-struck is a bit scary.

"Itachi, the bloodline limit development task I'm assigning you this time is a dojutsu, a dojutsu that leans towards perception."

Genichiro Shushita began by introducing the mission.

Itachi Uchiha asked, "Something like the Byakugan?"

The Sharingan has strong observational abilities, but it is not considered visual perception.

The white of the eye is a form of visual perception.

Genichi under the tree nodded: "That's right, this eye technique is related to fire release, and then to yang release."

"Therefore, Itachi, you must first master the nature transformation of Yang Release."

"Once you master the changes in the nature of Yang Release, I will tell you exactly what kind of sensory eye technique you should cultivate."

Uchiha Itachi nodded: "Yes, I will do my best, Lord Genichi."

"But can I tell Dad about this?"

Genichi chuckled lightly: "Of course, no problem."

"Itachi, were you just wondering if I've been learning how to train the Sharingan?"

Uchiha Itachi's face immediately turned red upon hearing this, feeling embarrassed and ashamed that his thoughts had been seen through.

Genichi Shushita, however, did not care. He opened his three-tomoe mirror eye and said to Itachi Uchiha, who was staring in surprise, "Because I obtained a Sharingan from a friend, I did try to learn and train it. However, a little accident occurred, which resulted in these mirror eyes."

"Hmm...you can also talk to your father about this."

Uchiha Itachi stared wide-eyed at Genichi's mirror eyes under the tree; this was the first time he had ever seen them.

It does look a lot like the Sharingan.

Moreover, it looks even prettier than the Sharingan.

"So be it."

Genichi Shushita closed his mirror eye: "If you need anything about Yang Release, you can come find me. You know where I live, right?"

He usually takes photos of himself at home.

Itachi Uchiha nodded quickly.

"Come on!"

After saying that, Genichi Shushi disappeared from the spot.

The seeds have been sown, the bait has been cast, and whether there will be a harvest remains to be seen.

Itachi Uchiha stood there for a long time before returning to the Ninja Academy.

After school in the afternoon, he rushed home as quickly as possible, and instead of playing with his younger brother Sasuke right away, he went to find his father, Uchiha Fugaku, who was feeding the fish.

Fugaku Uchiha turned to look at his eldest son, whom he was very satisfied with and on whom he had placed high hopes, and his serious expression softened slightly: "Is it still about graduating early, Itachi?"

Uchiha Itachi said, "No, it's about Lord Genichi."

"Ok?"

Fugaku Uchiha was surprised, then turned around: "Genichi-kun?"

Uchiha Itachi nodded: "Father, it's like this..."

He quickly explained the special mission that Xuan Yi under the tree had.

Fugaku Uchiha was very surprised to hear this.

He acknowledged that his eldest son was exceptionally talented.

At only seven years old, to have developed a bloodline limit...

Even Fugaku Uchiha himself lacked confidence.

Genichi Kishita was naturally aware of the fact that he had published the bloodline limit information, and had even applied to read "The Essentials of Bloodline Limits".

He is even trying to cultivate his bloodline limit.

Despite already having the Sharingan, and even awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

But the Mangekyou Sharingan was too much of a burden for him; whether it was his eye techniques or Susanoo, every time he used them, he was risking his life.

Of course, there is another reason.

It was Genichi Koushi's actions that led to the current trend of developing and cultivating bloodline limits in Konoha in recent years.

These days, if any Jonin in Konoha doesn't research bloodline limits, they'd be embarrassed to call themselves a Jonin.

In particular, this year Sakumo Hatake also mastered a bloodline limit, and it was one that was not originally in the "Bloodline Limit Essentials".

The enthusiasm for developing bloodline limits, which had cooled down, has been reignited.

But treating the development of a bloodline limit as a mission is shocking enough, but the recipient is a student who didn't even graduate from the ninja academy... This...

Even Fugaku Uchiha, who considered his eldest son a genius, felt that this was a bit outrageous.

"The task entrusted by Master Xuanyi is a kind of perception eye technique, which requires the fusion of two nature transformations: Fire Release and Yang Release. Therefore, I need to learn the nature transformation of Yang Release next."

"Lord Xuanyi has allowed me to ask him for guidance."

Itachi Uchiha continued.

But Fugaku Uchiha didn't take it to heart; his mind was elsewhere. After his son finished speaking, he asked, "Did Genichi-kun say anything else?"

Uchiha Itachi lowered his head slightly upon hearing this: "Yes, Lord Genichi also mentioned our clan's Sharingan."

Fugaku Uchiha's gaze sharpened: Just as I expected!

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha was secretly thinking: Lord Genichi showed off his Mirror Eyes because he anticipated that Father would ask...

For some reason, he felt a slight aversion to his father's question at that moment.

However, Itachi Uchiha continued, "Lord Genichi mentioned the Sharingan he possessed, and that he had studied it... Just like how Sunagakure studied the One-Tailed Beast and obtained Magnet Release, he tried to train the Sharingan."

Fugaku Uchiha was shocked. He immediately thought of Genichi Kinoshita's eyes, which were extremely similar to the Sharingan.

Could it be... that he has indeed... has already cracked the secret of the Sharingan?
This...this is impossible!
Fugaku Uchiha's expression remained solemn, but his heart was in turmoil, filled with shock, fear, and panic...

Uchiha Itachi looked up at his father, unable to detect the latter's turbulent emotions, and continued, "Lord Genichi said that he accidentally obtained his current eye technique during his training, called the Mirror Eye."

"Those eyes were originally called Mirror Eyes..."

Fugaku Uchiha, who was hearing this for the first time, took a deep breath and asked, "Did Lord Genichi ever mention the difference between the Mirror Eye and the Sharingan?"

Itachi Uchiha shook his head.

Fugaku Uchiha remained silent. He knew that this information had been deliberately leaked to him by Genichi Kinoshita through his son.

So what is the purpose?

Is he implying that he wants to cooperate with the Uchiha clan to further research the Sharingan?
Itachi Uchiha looked up at his father, who was deep in thought, and after a moment's thought, asked, "Dad, can the Sharingan be obtained through training?"

“I mean…our Uchiha clan.”

Fugaku Uchiha snapped out of his daze and instinctively said, "That's impossible, we..."

He suddenly froze, realizing Genichi's true purpose.

"A different way of opening eyes?"

"This...this is impossible!"

Uchiha Fugaku found it unbelievable.

Because the Uchiha clan is a family that has been passed down for thousands of years, there is simply no other way to awaken or advance the Sharingan.

Could a foreigner possibly understand the Sharingan better than the Uchiha?
Is this a bait targeting the Uchiha clan?
Throughout the long years, has the Uchiha clan never lost their Sharingan?

This is impossible.

There might not be any three-tomoe jade pieces, but there must have been single-tomoe jade pieces and double-tomoe jade pieces.

However, it is difficult for outsiders to utilize the Sharingan. Keeping the Sharingan open for a long time will constantly deplete chakra, making it a useless and burdensome tool for most people.

However, Fugaku Uchiha knew that Genichi Kinoshita was indeed special; he could perfectly control Genichi Kinoshita's eye.

So, is it really possible?
For a moment, Fugaku Uchiha hesitated.

Uchiha Itachi waited a moment, then looked up: "Dad?"

Fugaku Uchiha snapped out of his daze and said, "Since Genichi values ​​you so much, then you should do your best to complete this mission!"

"Yes!"

Itachi Uchiha nodded happily.

Fugaku Uchiha said, "In that case, let's put the matter of graduating early on hold for now."
