I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

It was a dojutsu that Naraku developed based on his initial inspiration from researching the Sharingan.

The power of "Heavenly Eye" is like the insight it displays when looking down upon Star City.

This eye technique perfectly inherits all the advantages of the Sharingan.

Whether it's insight, illusion amplification, or copying, it has reached the level of the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Most importantly, the "Heavenly Eye" is different from the Sharingan; it can be obtained through training, making it an extremely powerful secret technique.

After testing the effect of "Heavenly Eye" and confirming that it worked as predicted, Naraku removed the golden vertical pupil from between his eyebrows, used "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" again, and returned to the ninth floor of the Star Tower.

Like the Star Shadow Tower, the ninth floor of the Star Tower is still Naraku's training ground.

Upon returning to the ninth floor, Naraku immediately created another batch of shadow clones to continue developing the "Heavenly Eye."

That's right.

It refers to the development of the "Sky Eye".

Although the current "Heavenly Eye" already possesses ocular power comparable to the three-tomoe Sharingan, it is still far from enough for Naraku.

After all, he now possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Byakugan.

Both can serve as references for the future development of the "Sky Eye".

"Let's send 'Heavenly Eye' to Nonou tonight!"

Although the "Heavenly Eye" is only in its initial stages of development, the pupil power it contains is already quite outstanding.

Naraku would naturally not cherish the "Heavenly Eye".

Besides Nono, he plans to teach other key members such as Natsumi and Ame.

After all, the stronger his subordinates are, the more energy he can devote to cultivation.

The difficulty of cultivating the "Heavenly Eye" is not too high.

Or rather, from the very beginning of its development, Naraku intended to pass on his skills, so reducing the difficulty was one of the key aspects of the development process.

In addition, the cultivation of the "Heavenly Eye" can be divided into three stages.

These three stages correspond exactly to the evolution of the Sharingan.

The first stage corresponds to the one-tomoe Sharingan.

The second stage corresponds to the two-tomoe Sharingan.

The third stage corresponds to the three-tomoe Sharingan.

It's worth mentioning that the "Heavenly Eye" can also be combined with the "Sharingan" and the "Byakugan".

Just like Nono and the others.

Once they master the "Heavenly Eye," they can project the three-tomoe Sharingan and Byakugan bestowed upon them by Naraku into the "Heavenly Eye," thus creating a power greater than the sum of its parts.

Naraku has already tested it, and the projection of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan is enough to make the third stage of the "Heavenly Eye" have an eye power that rivals the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Such an enhancement of pupil power undoubtedly results in a significant increase in overall strength.

"Lord Madara, Obito Uchiha's squad has been selected to join the forces supporting the battlefield in Kirigakure, and their teacher, Minato Namikaze, is not with them."

In the dark underground space, White Zetsu leaped out from one of the walls and hopped over to Madara Uchiha, who was sitting with his eyes closed in meditation.

"Oh? That kid's finally out. Let's begin the plan. Go test that kid's potential and see if he really has the aptitude to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan." Madara Uchiha slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the White Zetsu opposite him.

"Understood, leave it to me!" Bai Jue grinned and gave an OK sign.

The Mizukage of Kirigakure has long been under Madara's control. Now that Obito Uchiha has gone to the battlefield in Kirigakure, it would be very easy for him to find an opportunity to test him.

After White Zetsu left, Madara Uchiha lowered his eyelids.

To ensure the smooth execution of the Eye of the Moon Plan, in addition to selecting Nagato, a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, as the vessel for nurturing the Rinnegan, he had also long ago chosen his own proxy within the Uchiha clan.

The requirements for this agent are naturally quite high.

In his mind, one must at least possess the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Therefore, after careful selection, he chose the brat named Uchiha Obito from the Uchiha clan.

Although, from the current perspective, Obito Uchiha's talent is mediocre, and he can even be considered a disgrace to the Uchiha clan.

But he, who truly understands the Sharingan, knows very well that those who have the potential to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan not only need exceptional talent, but also abundant emotions.

Obito Uchiha was undoubtedly a person full of emotions.

They could even be considered an anomaly within the Uchiha clan.

The saying goes, "Things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes."

It was precisely because of Obito Uchiha's anomaly that he chose the other party.

Of course, this selection is only preliminary and actual testing is still needed.

This is also the origin of his arrangement for White Zetsu.

He needed to confirm that Obito Uchiha truly possessed the aptitude to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Otherwise, he would have to switch to other alternatives as soon as possible.

"Konoha. Hah, Hashirama, you probably never imagined Konoha would become like this!" Madara Uchiha sneered.

He originally wanted to wait a little longer before testing Obito Uchiha.

After all, it's not always better to awaken the Sharingan as early as possible, especially the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Waking up too early can easily put an excessive burden on the body.

Although the proxy was merely a tool for carrying out the Eye of the Moon Plan in his eyes, it would still be a long time before Nagato could fully mature, so the tool's durability still needed to be considered.

He was naturally paying close attention to the situation in Konoha.

Therefore, he was fully aware of how bad Konoha was right now.

Beset by internal and external troubles, this perfectly describes Konoha at this time.

Especially internal troubles.

After Danzo came to power, the internal strife in Konoha was so appalling that even he was shocked.

Therefore, he had to execute the plan ahead of schedule.

There's no way around it; given the current internal strife in Konoha, the Uchiha clan could collapse at any moment.

He didn't want his carefully chosen tool to die in Konoha's internal strife.

Chapter 177 White Zetsu's Actions

White Zetsu acted swiftly.

A week later, when White Zetsu returned to the underground space, he was now an outer shell containing a person.

When the White Zetsu unfolded its head like a flower, Obito Uchiha, who was in a coma, was immediately revealed inside.

At the same time, if White Zetsu were to unfold the part of his body that was covered, it would be discovered that a large chunk of Obito Uchiha's chest was missing.

With such injuries, it's safe to say that if it weren't for the White Zetsu constantly infusing Obito Uchiha with abundant chakra, he would probably have already died.

"Lord Madara, this guy is really amazing. He awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan all at once, and..."

With its head unfolding, revealing Obito Uchiha's head inside, the White Zetsu condensed its own head at its shoulder and began to explain to Madara Uchiha.

Compared to the original storyline, the different developments have brought changes, but some things remain the same.

What remains unchanged is Obito Uchiha's awakening.

In White Zetsu's explanation, it planned an attack by the Hidden Mist ninja on Obito Uchiha, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara's team.

During the process, when he was in danger, especially when it deliberately put pressure on Kakashi and Rin Nohara, Obito Uchiha suddenly awakened his two-tomoe Sharingan.

Even with just the two-tomoe Sharingan, when it deliberately knocked Obito Uchiha into the sea in order to take him away, Obito Uchiha actually became intangible, which greatly surprised White Zetsu.

"These are signs of the Mangekyou Sharingan awakening, and also a leak of ocular techniques. It seems that this kid does indeed possess quite excellent Mangekyou Sharingan aptitude."

Madara Uchiha observed the unconscious Obito Uchiha with great interest as he listened to the explanation of the White Zetsu, especially the strange phenomenon of Obito Uchiha's body turning into a tangible form at the end.

Yes. As you can see, although Obito Uchiha is unconscious, his eyes are not damaged.

This is precisely where the plot changes.

Despite his different experiences, Obito Uchiha still displayed his extraordinary Mangekyou Sharingan talent, but he did not give one of his eyes to Kakashi.

Madara Uchiha was naturally quite satisfied that he had confirmed that Obito Uchiha indeed possessed the aptitude to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, and might even be just one step away from it.

He had White Zetsu leave behind a portion of his body tissue to heal Obito Uchiha's injuries, while also dragging the Gedo Mazo pipe connected to his back forward to leave a cursed seal on Obito Uchiha's heart.

After finishing everything, Madara Uchiha returned to his seat and silently looked at Obito Uchiha, his future successor.

Obito Uchiha was ultimately sunk into the sea due to the White Zetsu's scheme.

Although no body was found, because there was no news for a long time, it was ultimately determined to be dead, just like in the original story.

Given Obito Uchiha's status in Konoha, his death naturally did not cause much of a stir.

Even Minato Namikaze was unaware of it.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze was traveling swiftly through the Land of Stars with Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, and Choza Akimichi, the three newly appointed leaders of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.
