Naruto: Mikoto and Tsunade, don't let either of them go.

Furthermore, you may not know this, but this island is surrounded by whirlpools and undercurrents, making it generally inaccessible to ordinary people. This is highly advantageous for the secrecy and development of our Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Itachi had been on this island for so long that he was familiar with its resources and distribution, so he was quite satisfied with the island that Uchiha Kakuyama had chosen.

Chapter 93 First Exploration of the Dawn Organization

Chapter Ninety-Three: First Exploration of the Akatsuki Organization

Upon hearing Uchiha Kyuuyama's question, Itachi paused for a moment, organized his thoughts, and respectfully replied, "In response to Lord Kyuuyama, Itachi sincerely admires the place you have chosen. This island, in terms of both seclusion and resources, is more than sufficient to meet the needs of our Uchiha clan's development, making it ideal for seclusion and self-cultivation."

Upon hearing Itachi's words, Uchiha Kakuyama smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be so formal. Let's call each other by our own names. From now on, just call me whatever you would call Shisui. From now on, just call me 'Big Brother'."

Itachi Uchiha was actually a person who followed the rules quite well. Although Uchiha Kōzan was only a few years older than him, Kōzan was a generation older than Itachi, both as the vice-clan leader and as Sasuke's teacher. Itachi also admired and respected Kōzan, which is why he called him "Lord Kōzan".

However, Itachi Uchiha was not a rigid person. He hesitated for only a moment before changing his mind and saying, "Okay, Brother Qiushan."

Uchiha Kakuzan was pleased to see Uchiha Itachi change his tune, because it meant that Uchiha Itachi also agreed with him to some extent. This not only increased the chance of copying Uchiha Itachi's eye technique, but it was also very beneficial to his future plans.

At this moment, Uchiha Kakuyama opened his mouth but didn't speak. Instead, he looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, "Don't resist. I'll take you to a place where there are no people, where it will be easier to talk to you."

As he spoke, Uchiha Kakuyama raised his arm and placed his hands on the shoulders of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi. Seeing that the two did not resist, he activated his eye technique and, through the spatial imprint he left on Uzushima Island, took the two to the cliff on the other side of Uzushima Island.

Uchiha Kakuyama released the two of them, took a few steps, and came to the edge of the cliff. Looking at the vast sea in the distance, he felt his heart and mind expand.

Here, the view is wide open, and they are not afraid of being overheard by others.

Uchiha Kakuzan turned around and said to Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, "Now, our Uchiha clan's plan to move out of Konoha Village can be considered to have been successfully completed. Next, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it won't be long before our entire Uchiha clan moves to this island."

Uchiha Kakuyama paused for a moment, then continued, "So, whether it's Shisui or you, Uchiha Itachi, as members of the Uchiha clan who have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, your strength has already reached the Kage level, and even among the Kage, you are among the best. If you continue to stay on Uzushima Island, busy with these trivial matters, it will not only not help improve your strength, but it will also be detrimental to your future development."

Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi nodded silently in agreement upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words. They had already eliminated the threat from Uzushima Island; keeping them around would be a waste of their talents. Ninjas, after all, are quite clear about their own role and value.

Seeing that they agreed with his point of view, Uchiha Kakuyama continued, "Therefore, in the name of the vice-head of the Uchiha clan, I am issuing you a mission, and I hope you will accept it and complete it excellently."

Uchiha Kakuyama paused, noticing the serious expressions on Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi's faces, and continued, "Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, I've received intelligence through clandestine channels. The former leader of Amegakure in the Land of Rain—Hanzo of the Salamander—has been killed. And the person who killed him is Pain, the leader of an organization called 'Akatsuki,' and this organization is far from simple. Their goal may be to collect the Tailed Beasts and rule the entire ninja world."

Furthermore, the leader of this organization is no ordinary person; his strength should have reached the Kage level, and the other members are all well-known rogue ninja in the ninja world. Therefore, I entrust you with investigating this organization and gathering intelligence on them. However, your own safety must be your top priority; do not take any risks.”

"Moreover, some of them are not only eyeing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha Village, but also our Uchiha clan."

At this point, Uchiha Kakuyama looked at Uchiha Itachi and asked, "Itachi, did you ever discover intruders on our Uchiha clan's territory?"

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha immediately thought of the mysterious figure in the shadows and nodded, confirming, "I did indeed discover such a person. He was very mysterious and extremely powerful."

Uchiha Kakuyama nodded: "This person is a member of the Akatsuki organization. They've already set their sights on our Uchiha clan. Although we've moved to Uzushima Island and won't be easily found by them, nothing stays hidden forever. If we continue to hide on this island, they'll find us sooner or later."

Therefore, for the safety of both Konoha Village and our Uchiha clan, we must thoroughly investigate this organization. This will allow us to gain the upper hand.

After saying that, Uchiha Kakuyama looked into the eyes of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi and asked, "So, this mission is still very dangerous. Are you confident you can complete it?"

Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi looked at each other and nodded, saying, "No problem. For the sake of our Uchiha clan, we will definitely complete this mission."

In fact, part of the reason why Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were able to accept this mission was because of Konoha Village. After all, they grew up in the village and were educated in the Will of Fire. Although the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village had separated, it was normal for them to worry about Konoha Village.

Uchiha Kakuzan was well aware of this, but since he was now the de facto ruler of Konoha, he didn't think that Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi had betrayed him. Moreover, he had deliberately added the information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to increase their enthusiasm and attention to the mission.

Seeing that the two accepted the mission without hesitation, Uchiha Kakuyama's serious face broke into a smile. He instructed them, "The leader of the Akatsuki organization, Pain, is very strong. Moreover, most of the other members of this organization also possess Kage-level strength. Their abilities are all very strange and powerful. Therefore, when you enter Amegakure to investigate information, you must pay attention to your own safety and not be reckless, lest they notice you."

Seeing how much Uchiha Kakuyama valued this organization, Uchiha Shisui and the other man felt even more serious. They nodded to Uchiha Kakuyama, indicating that they would be careful.

Uchiha Kakuyama hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "I'll give you an insurance policy, so that no matter what, you can come back safely."

Chapter 94 Granting Spatial Imprint

Chapter Ninety-Four: Granting Spatial Imprints

Uchiha Kakuyama seemed to have made a great deal of determination before making this decision. After all, if he took such measures against Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, although it would protect them, it would also make them dependent on him, which would have a negative impact on their future development. He had high hopes for their future, and as long as they grew up, it would be a good thing for the future of the Uchiha clan.

However, Uchiha Kakuyama reconsidered. Only by surviving could they have a future. After all, even Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, didn't return alive after entering Amegakure. Although Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi had both awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and reached Kage-level strength, they were still inferior to Jiraiya in both strength and experience. Moreover, Uchiha Kakuyama believed that both Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi could overcome their dependence and truly grow stronger.

After Uchiha Kakuzan finished speaking, without offering any explanation, he directly activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Under the questioning gazes of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, he stretched out his hand in front of them and gently waved it, erasing the simplified spatial imprint that Uchiha Kakuzan had left on their foreheads.

Then, he extended his index finger and gently touched their foreheads, leaving a sky-blue mark—a complete spatial mark. The spatial mark flickered a few times before slowly fading away.

Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi touched their foreheads and felt something unusual. They vaguely sensed that this new spatial mark was different from the previous one, so they looked at Uchiha Kakuyama and waited for his explanation.

The spatial imprints that Uchiha Kakuzan gave to Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were the same as the spatial imprints he gave to Uchiha Mikoto. They could all enter his space through these spatial imprints. However, he changed the coordinates in their spatial imprints to the Kamui space that Uchiha Kakuzan had just obtained.

He wasn't stupid. Even if he wanted to leave some insurance for Uchiha Shisui and the other two, he wouldn't give them the spatial imprint of his Takamagahara space. After all, Takamagahara had always been his own backyard. He would only give the Takamagahara spatial imprint to someone he absolutely trusted (someone controlled by Kotoamatsukami), and he would never leave any security risks for himself.

Next, Uchiha Kakuzan gave Uchiha Shisui and the other a brief explanation of the spatial mark's abilities. For example, one could use chakra to regularly stimulate the spatial mark to transmit simple information to him (similar to Morse code), or one could directly enter his Kamui dimension through the spatial mark when their own life was threatened.

However, once inside the Kamui dimension, they cannot get out on their own. They can only wait inside, hoping that Uchiha Kakuzan will find time to come and take them out. Of course, to be more forceful, Uchiha Kakuzan could also release them directly from inside using his eye technique, Kamui.

Of course, there is one last function: when Uchiha Kakuzan encounters an emergency, he can summon them back regardless of what they are doing. However, Uchiha Kakuzan uses this function relatively little. After all, even if he, Uchiha Kakuzan, finds the enemy troublesome, summoning them back would probably not be of much use.

Only then did Uchiha Shisui and the other realize why they felt this spatial mark was different from the previous ones. It turned out that this spatial mark was connected to Uchiha Kakuyama's space, allowing them to have a way to save their lives when they encountered insurmountable danger.

After examining the spatial imprints on Shisui and Uchiha Kakuyama, he said with a serious expression, "The spatial imprints I left on you are only for last resort. Do not become dependent on them. Remember, true strength always relies on oneself."

When you develop a dependency mentality, it not only means that your path to becoming a strong person is over, but also that your mindset will change when you are doing tasks. You will let your guard down and give the enemy a chance to strike you deadly.

Therefore, I established a rule: anyone who returns via spatial imprint during a mission is automatically considered to have failed the mission and will be confined in the solitary confinement room for three days. Further punishments will then be determined based on the specific circumstances.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi realized the seriousness of the situation. They stood up straight, their faces hardening, and solemnly indicated that they understood.

After establishing these rules, Uchiha Kakuyama breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were both rare geniuses of the Uchiha clan. If we don't count their special abilities, even Uchiha Kakuyama would have to give them a wide berth.

Originally, the Uchiha clan, which had so many geniuses, should have been on the rise in this generation. However, after a series of unexpected events, they not only failed to rise but were wiped out, leaving only two or three members. In the end, only Uchiha Sasuke remained as the sole survivor.

Furthermore, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't quite understand Uchiha Sasuke's thinking. Sasuke, who had vowed to revitalize the Uchiha clan since childhood, why was he running around during a period of peace in the ninja world? Shouldn't he be busy having more children to increase the Uchiha population? And he only had one daughter and then stopped. Did he intend to leave the task of revitalizing the Uchiha clan to his daughter? What if his daughter got married and the Uchiha surname became extinct?

Uchiha Kakuyama shook his head, putting Uchiha Sasuke's matter out of his mind. Sasuke was still young and could be educated slowly. He needed to understand the benefits of having many children and take it upon himself to carry forward the Uchiha clan.

After all these matters were explained, Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Uchiha Shisui and asked, "Shisui, did you tell Itachi about my Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques?"

When Uchiha Shisui heard Uchiha Kakuyama ask this question, he immediately understood his intention, but still shook his head: "Without your permission, I will not leak your information to anyone, including Itachi."

When Uchiha Itachi heard what Uchiha Kakuyama and Uchiha Shisui said, he turned to look at them with a puzzled expression. After all, he also had the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye technique. Although he felt that this eye technique was very powerful and greatly improved his own strength, there was no need to keep it so secret.

Seeing Itachi's expression, Shisui didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Kazuyama, as if to ask if he needed to explain to Itachi, since he would need to tell Kazuyama when he copied Itachi's eye technique.

Chapter 95 Amaterasu VS Tsukuyomi

Chapter 95 Amaterasu VS Tsukuyomi

Seeing Shisui's expression, Uchiha Kakuyama understood what he meant and nodded, signaling Shisui to tell Uchiha Itachi the function of his eye technique.

With Uchiha Kakuzan's consent, Uchiha Shisui turned around and explained to Uchiha Itachi the effects of Kakuzan's two dojutsu—the Space-Time Rift (fake) and the Copying Eye.

Upon hearing Shisui's explanation, Itachi was also shocked. He hadn't expected Uchiha Kakuzan's two eye techniques to be so incredibly powerful. Compared to Kakuzan's, his own eye techniques paled in comparison. He also understood where Kakuzan's predictive abilities came from. After all, he had only known of Kakuzan's precognitive abilities from Shisui, and hadn't known he could see fragments of the future.

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.
