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

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.

The two didn't linger anywhere else and went straight to the most secure little room in Uchiha Shisui's house.

After Uchiha Shisui closed the door, he asked Uchiha Kyuuyama with a serious expression, "Kyuuyama, what is it?"

Uchiha Kakuyama still had a relaxed smile on his face. Seeing Uchiha Shisui's serious expression, he comforted him, "Shisui, don't be nervous, it's just a small matter."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Uchiha Shisui on the shoulder.

After hearing what Uchiha Kakuyama said, Uchiha Shisui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since it's a small matter, you could have just said it earlier. Why did you have to come all the way to my house?"

Uchiha Kakuyama shook his head: "Although it's a small matter, it could have a bad influence if others see it, so it's better to do it at your house."

Uchiha Shisui was very direct: "What is it?"

Without wasting any words, Uchiha Kakuzan immediately activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and looked at Uchiha Shisui. Then, Uchiha Kakuzan's Sharingan slightly rotated, and he unleashed a barely perceptible dojutsu at Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui's eyes also transformed into three-tomoe Sharingan, which rotated a few times before slowly closing.

When Uchiha Shisui involuntarily opened and closed his Sharingan, he focused his attention on it. When the Sharingan closed, he also involuntarily closed his eyes and carefully sensed it.

After waiting for a while, Uchiha Shisui slowly opened his eyes and looked at Uchiha Kakuyama with a complicated expression: "I sensed it this time. You left another 'Izanagi' in my eyes using the transcription seal. What are the activation conditions this time?"

Chapter 99 Naruto Uzumaki and Karin Uzumaki

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Naruto Uzumaki and Karin Uzumaki

Upon hearing Uchiha Shisui's words, Uchiha Kakuzan laughed and said, "Haha, you've improved. This time you were even able to detect the jutsu I placed in your eyes. Don't worry, it's still the same as before, just a safety net. The trigger condition is that after you are killed, you are resurrected in perfect physical condition five seconds later."

Uchiha Shisui didn't laugh along with Uchiha Kakuzan. His face remained tense as he looked into Kakuzan's eyes and asked, "What was your price? What was the price you paid? Izanagi became a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan because the price was too high. No matter if your eyes have three tomoe or the Mangekyou Sharingan, once you use Izanagi, the eye that uses this forbidden technique will be permanently blinded."

“I don’t believe you used this forbidden technique without any consequences. So, Qiushan, tell me the price you paid for using Izanagi, or I will always have this thorn in my side.”

Uchiha Kakuzan fell silent upon hearing Shisui's words. In fact, he later realized that every time he used Izanagi, his Yin-attribute chakra would inevitably decrease. However, because of the system, the cost was negligible. The Yin-attribute chakra consumed would be replenished in a few days of training, leaving him almost unaffected.

However, this concerned the system, so how could he let Uchiha Shisui know? Faced with Uchiha Shisui's question, Uchiha Kakuzan simply chuckled and said, "It's alright, don't worry. It has very little impact on me. Compared to that, your safety is more important to me."

After asking the question, Uchiha Shisui had been observing Uchiha Kakuzan's expression. After hearing his answer, he paused for a moment, then nodded knowingly.

Seeing that Uchiha Shisui stopped asking questions, Uchiha Kakuzan breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as if remembering something amusing, he activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and said to Shisui with great interest, "Shisui, Shisui, look. Look, what's different about my Mangekyou Sharingan compared to before?" He was like a child showing off his new toy.

Next, Uchiha Shisui was inevitably shocked by Uchiha Kakuyama. After all, he also had the Mangekyou Sharingan, but he had only heard of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan but had never seen it before.

Next, Uchiha Kakuzan shared some of his newly discovered knowledge and methods for advancing the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan with Shisui. During this time, to help Shisui understand more thoroughly, he even pulled Shisui into a genjutsu space and demonstrated the entire process to him.

Finally, Uchiha Kakuyama patted Uchiha Shisui on the shoulder: "Shisui, I've already taken the lead over you, so you have to keep up the good work. I believe you'll do better than me. After all, your talent is better than mine."

Although Uchiha Kakuzan encouraged Uchiha Shisui in this way, he also knew that Uchiha Shisui faced far more difficulties than him. After all, he had the help of a system that could copy eye techniques. When copying eye techniques, the essence of their Sharingan was also copied at the same time. Uchiha Kakuzan had combined the eye techniques and potential essence of many Mangekyou Sharingan to evolve his own Mangekyou Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in such a short time.

However, neither Uchiha Shisui nor Uchiha Itachi had such convenient conditions. They could only think of other ways to have any hope of accomplishing the same feat as Uchiha Kagami.

Actually, Uchiha Kakuyama has other methods. Although he can't help Shisui and Itachi upgrade their Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he can significantly increase the usage time of the Mangekyou Sharingan. However, Uchiha Kakuyama can't do that yet. He can tell Shisui and the others when he can.

After Uchiha Kakuzan told Uchiha Shisui everything, he didn't keep him from resting any longer and took his leave. He told Uchiha Shisui to rest well and that he would arrange for him and Uchiha Itachi to leave the village in three days to gather intelligence in Amegakure.

······

Just as Uchiha Kakuzan and Uchiha Shisui were saying goodbye and leaving, in a corner of Konoha Village, something was happening due to Uchiha Kakuzan's influence.

That day, Naruto unexpectedly woke up late. He had no choice but to drink some expired milk the night before, which caused him to have diarrhea for most of the night. His stomach finally stopped acting up as dawn broke, and Naruto finally drifted off to sleep in bed.

As a result, while he was half asleep, he sensed some commotion around his house. Normally, this would be impossible, because he lived on the top floor of the house, and although there were spare rooms around him, they were all empty. After all, the common people of Konoha Village disliked and feared him, so how could they possibly be his neighbors?

So, although there are empty rooms on the top floor of the house, no one has lived there since Naruto had his memories. Therefore, the area around Naruto's house is usually quiet, and it is impossible for anyone to come and make a fuss.

Hearing the commotion outside the room, Naruto Uzumaki immediately snapped to attention, holding his breath and listening intently.

After listening for a while, Naruto finally confirmed that a new resident had indeed moved in next to his room. Upon confirming this, Naruto's heart pounded, and his face flushed red.

He also hoped that he would have neighbors next to his house. Although they wouldn't be there to keep him company, they would at least make him feel less lonely. In the dead of night, when there was no sound from the side, it felt as if the whole world had abandoned him. This loneliness suffocated him.

Naruto waited a while longer, allowing his wildly beating heart to calm down. He straightened his somewhat worn clothes, wanting to change, but the clothes he was wearing were the only ones he could wear.

Naruto took a deep breath, slowly opened the door to his room, and peeked out, looking towards the doorway beside him. He was afraid it would be another person who was hostile to him. He didn't ask for much; he just hoped that his new neighbor would treat him the same way as Uncle Ichiraku, without being hostile or afraid of him.

Naruto slowly peeked out and saw a beautiful, gentle-looking older woman standing there, thanking the workers who had helped her move furniture. This woman had beautiful red hair, making her appear full of sunshine and vitality.

Just as Naruto was staring blankly, the older sister seemed to sense the movement, turned her head slightly, and saw the silly little guy peeking out. She gave him a sunny and kind smile.

Chapter 100 Karin and Naruto

Chapter 100 Karin and Naruto

Naruto was stunned when he saw Karin's smile. This was only the second time in his life he had felt kindness from someone; the first time was from the Third Hokage.

Moreover, both his Uzumaki clan bloodline and his intuition as a Jinchūriki told Naruto that the beautiful older sister in front of him had a very pure kindness towards him, completely different from what he felt from the Third Hokage. Although the Third Hokage also had kindness towards him, there was also wariness and some complicated feelings. But from this older sister, he felt a very pure and warm kindness, which immediately captivated Naruto.

After seeing the furniture movers off, Kaoru Uzumaki saw Naruto Uzumaki standing helplessly at her door.

Kaoru Uzumaki smiled, walked up to Naruto Uzumaki, half-squatted down, and looked at the child in front of her with some heartache.

Her worn clothes, unwashed face, dry and frizzy hair, shorter stature than her peers, and slightly pale complexion all told her that she was a poor little girl with no one to take care of her.

In fact, if Naruto Uzumaki hadn't possessed the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, he might not have even had the chance to grow up.

Kaoru Uzumaki stroked the boy's messy hair and said with a look of tenderness, "Hello, Naruto Uzumaki. Nice to meet you. I am Kaoru Uzumaki. Please take care of me from now on."

Naruto had already blushed with embarrassment when Karin stroked his hair, but after hearing what Karin said, his eyes widened suddenly as he looked at the beautiful older sister in front of him and stammered, "..."

"Uzumaki, Uzumaki Xiangling, big sister, you also have the surname Uzumaki, are you also from the Uzumaki clan?"

Actually, Naruto Uzumaki didn't understand what the Uzumaki clan and its bloodline were. He had only seen other ninja clans in the village and knew that if it was a surname, then they were from the same clan, which is why he asked that question.

Looking at Naruto's longing eyes, Kaoru Uzumaki gently nodded: "Yes, I am also from the Uzumaki clan. Moreover, I am your mother's best friend who grew up with her. So, if you count, I am your aunt."

Naruto was completely stunned by the news. He stared blankly at the beautiful older sister in front of him, as if in a daze, an invisible light was slowly emanating from her, not only shining into his heart but also illuminating his entire world.

Naruto Uzumaki was almost speechless, stammering as he repeated Karin Uzumaki's words: "Auntie, Auntie..."

Looking at the now-foolish Naruto, Kaoru Uzumaki's eyes filled with even more tenderness. She gently replied, "Yes, I'm your mother Kushina Uzumaki's best friend from childhood, and we're also related. However, we were separated after the war. I just arrived in Konoha. I didn't expect Kushina to have a child, and her son is already so grown up. So, according to seniority and kinship, you should call me Auntie."

Looking at the older woman in front of him, Naruto felt like he was dreaming. Finally, he asked to confirm, "Are you really my aunt?"

Looking at Naruto's dirty little face and longing eyes, Kaoru Uzumaki said calmly but firmly, "I am your aunt. I have already confirmed with the Third Hokage that you are Naruto Uzumaki, the son left behind by Kushina Uzumaki. So, there is no need to doubt anymore. It can be confirmed with the Third Hokage."

Naruto Uzumaki looked at the beautiful older sister in front of him—oh, no, the beautiful aunt—who was looking at him warmly. For some reason, it felt as if endless grievances were welling up from the bottom of his heart.

Naruto Uzumaki knew that he should behave well so that his new aunt would make a good impression on him. He also knew that he shouldn't cry, otherwise, what if his new aunt disliked him?

But now, Naruto Uzumaki just couldn't control himself. After confirming that the warm older sister in front of him was his family, he couldn't control himself anymore.

Naruto Uzumaki threw himself into Karin Uzumaki's arms and burst into tears. He couldn't stop crying and just kept crying, as if he had a thousand grievances in his heart that he couldn't express.

Despite Naruto's sudden change, Kaoru Uzumaki showed no resistance. She simply placed her hand on Naruto's back and gently patted him as he cried in her arms.

Naruto's crying immediately drew Karin out of her room. Karin was more lively than she was in Kusagakure at this moment. When she peeked out of her room and saw a little boy crying in his mother's arms, she was about to speak when Karin gestured to stop her.

Karin Uzumaki opened her mouth, then closed it again, looking at the little boy curiously, but said nothing more.

When Naruto's wailing turned into sobbing, Karin patted Naruto's back, gesturing for him to get up, and said, "Naruto, get up first. I'll introduce you to a little sister. You two can get to know each other, and from now on, you'll be siblings."

While trying to persuade Naruto, Karin Uzumaki beckoned to her daughter, Karin Uzumaki, who had been looking in their direction, to come over.

As Naruto awkwardly got up from Aunt Karin's arms, Karin Uzumaki had already run up to him with her short legs and stood in front of her mother and Naruto.

Naruto blushed immediately when he saw such a cute little girl run up to him so close. Karin, on the other hand, looked at the little boy who had suddenly appeared with some curiosity.

With a smile, Uzumaki Karin said to Naruto, "Naruto, this is my daughter. She's a little younger than you, and she'll be your little sister from now on. You can't let anyone bully her."

Naruto Uzumaki never expected that on this day, he would not only gain a concubine, but also a younger sister, and this younger sister was so cute. He nodded repeatedly when he heard what Uzumaki Karin was telling him.

Then, Karin said to Uzumaki, "Karin, he's your Naruto brother now. From now on, let him play with you and protect you, okay?"

Karin looked at the little boy in front of her, whose face was flushed and who seemed at a loss, and nodded. She then said to Naruto, "Hello, Naruto-nii-san, my name is Uzumaki Karin. Please take care of me from now on."

Naruto nodded repeatedly upon hearing Karin's words, speechless.

Seeing that the two little ones were getting along quite well, Xiangling stood up, took one of their hands in each hand, and walked towards home, saying as she went, "Alright, it's time to eat now. Let's go home and cook and eat."

Chapter 101 Recalling Tsunade

Chapter 101 Recalling Tsunade

Just as Naruto Uzumaki and Karin Uzumaki met, Uchiha Kakuyama also bid farewell to Uchiha Shisui.

There are some things that can't be delayed any longer. We must call Tsunade back, whether for Mikoto's sake or for Itachi's. We must bring back Tsunade, the top medical expert in the ninja world.

Even if she has hemophobia, it's okay. The Uchiha clan has many genjutsu masters. A simple psychological suggestion can almost eliminate her hemophobia. As for why Tsunade hasn't sought a cure all these years, it's probably because she has some regrets or something that disappointed her, leading her to choose to escape. That's why her hemophobia has persisted.
