Chapter 194 The Secret of the Eternal Kaleidoscope! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Upon returning to Konoha, Hoshino Shuichi and Jiraiya immediately met with Hiruzen Sarutobi to report on their trip to the Land of Rain.

"Obito..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but have a headache when he heard the time and space ninjutsu.

There are many secret techniques and forbidden techniques in the ninja world, and they are all very strange, so information is extremely important.

Among the many ninjutsu, space-time ninjutsu is definitely the most troublesome.

Even if you know the information, this kind of ninjutsu is still very difficult to deal with.

"If they join forces to seize the Nine-Tails..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi expressed his greatest concern.

Jiraiya laughed and said, "There's no need to worry too much about that."

"As for space-time ninjutsu, we have Minato and Shuichi. As for the Rinnegan, we, the Sannin, will handle it!"

Hoshino Shuichi was not as optimistic as Jiraiya.

How did the Three Sannin defeat the Rinnegan?

Even setting aside the now-enhanced Nagato, the original Nagato wouldn't have been easy for the Sannin to deal with.

The Rinnegan's abilities are too comprehensive.

So, after thinking for a moment, he said, "I will find a suitable opportunity to take it back from Obito."

"I will gather enough information about Nagato's Rinnegan as soon as possible."

He knew roughly about the abilities of the Rinnegan, but the situation had changed since then, so he needed to understand Nagato's mastery of it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi reminded him, "Don't forget there's also Madara Uchiha."

"If Nagato wasn't lying, Madara Uchiha is still alive and possesses astonishing fighting power."

Hoshita Shuichi said, "Third Hokage, I am not worried about Uchiha Madara."

"Even if he has the cells of the first generation, he is still very old."

"Furthermore, looking at it now, why did Madara Uchiha scheme against Obito and take the opportunity to lead Nagato down the wrong path?"

"The ninja world's demon of yesteryear, a powerhouse comparable to the First Hokage, his personality, in theory, would have made him invincible after the First Hokage. It seems that seizing the Nine-Tails or even destroying Konoha would not have been difficult for him."

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya were both lost in thought.

It's understandable that people were wary of the Flying Thunder God Technique when the second generation was still around.

After the Second Hokage's death, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked himself if his strength was not bad, but compared with the former Shura of the Shinobi World, he had to admit that he was not as good.

"So, Shuichi, you mean that Madara Uchiha's health isn't actually that good?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "I also know a little about the story of Madara Uchiha leaving the village back then. According to the Second Hokage, one reason was the position of Hokage, and the other was that his ideals conflicted with those of the First Hokage, which is why he left."

"He wanted to wipe out the other ninja villages by force, but unfortunately, no one wanted to go back to the past. Even the Uchiha clan did not agree with his approach."

Jiraiya said, "Nagato's current thoughts are similar to Madara Uchiha's. He wants to make people feel pain through force and war, so that they will fear war and end it."

He sighed, "So, this is precisely the key to his ability to cooperate with Madara Uchiha."

Jiraiya then turned serious and said, "Given the current situation, even with Nagato's Rinnegan, it's impossible to deal with five ninja villages."

"So they need even greater power... a tailed beast?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned grave: "It seems this is the only answer."

"Although I don't know the abilities of the Rinnegan, the Mangekyou Sharingan can control tailed beasts."

"And now, Madara Uchiha and Obito have two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan."

Listening to their analysis, Hoshishita Shuichi almost applauded, but he still had to continue guiding the conversation: "If I were Uchiha Madara, if I were already a hundred years old, if I still had unfinished business..."

"I should probably ask God for another five hundred years!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya were stunned.

Jiraiya then exclaimed in surprise, "The power of the Rinnegan, a legendary eye technique belonging to the Sage of Six Paths, possesses the power to destroy and create the world... So, Shuichi, do you mean that Madara Uchiha wanted to use Nagato's Rinnegan to return to his peak condition?"

Shuichi Hoshino's speculation was far-fetched and audacious, but after careful consideration, both Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya felt it was highly likely.

As for whether the Rinnegan can revive a person, they don't consider that.

The Sharingan can possess the ultimate genjutsu, Izanagi, while the Rinnegan is said to be able to destroy and create the world.

Moreover, the resurrection of people is not unprecedented in the ninja world.

For example, the Impure World Reincarnation of Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, can also be considered as such.

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained calm and said, "Everything is speculation at the moment, and we need more information to corroborate it."

"Minato is with Kushina, Shuichi, gather your squad as well."

"If we're going on a mission, it will still be conducted in small teams."

Although he had the Flying Thunder God Technique, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that a small team was a safer option.

After all, the opponent now also possesses space-time ninjutsu.

Hoshixia Xiu nodded and agreed.

Having someone to cooperate with is definitely better.

Of course, this is on the premise that Uchiha Shisui awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan.

……

Emerging from the Hokage Building, Jiraiya stretched and then said with a lewd grin, "Shuichi, how about we go to the hot springs together?"

Shuichi Hoshino resolutely refused.

Instead of going to a hot spring resort, you should go to Yokura in Daimyofu.

He hasn't even had a taste of the young lady's beautiful back yet!

Moreover, Nagato's situation gave him a sense of urgency.

He remembered that after Nagato Kuzu was reincarnated, he almost killed Kyuubi Naruto and Kirabi alone.

Judging from the current situation, Madara Uchiha is very likely to teach Nagato ninjutsu, and with the addition of Hashirama cells, it means that Nagato will have even stronger control over the Rinnegan.

"But that makes me even more motivated!"

Jiraiya waved his hand, and Hoshino Shuichi's figure disappeared.

Jiraiya smiled helplessly: "Young people these days really don't know how to enjoy life, but..."

Thinking of Nagato's situation, and the Mangekyou Sharingan of Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha, Jiraiya sighed, "It seems I have no choice but to work hard!"

"I should go to Mount Myōboku to train."

Jiraiya reluctantly cancelled his plans to go on a field trip.

……

Time flies, and December is here in the blink of an eye.

Konoha, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure finally signed a tripartite peace agreement, officially ending the war between the three great ninja villages.

The Konoha ninja gradually withdrew from the front lines, and Kakashi resumed his experiments with the tailed beasts.

Meanwhile, Fugaku Uchiha returned from the front lines with the young Itachi Uchiha.

This one was also a wolf-slayer; Itachi Uchiha was taken to the battlefield when he was not even four years old.

The day after Uchiha Fugaku returned, Hoshita Shuichi was brought to visit again by Uchiha Shisui.

"What? Madara Uchiha isn't dead?"

The usually composed Fugaku Uchiha lost his composure upon hearing Hoshishita Shuichi's information: "This... how is this possible?"

"He was from the same era as the First Hokage. Even if he used Izanagi to avoid death in the Valley of the End, he should be..."

Xingxia Xiu said, "It is indeed unbelievable, but it is true."

"He obtained the cells from the first generation."

Fugaku Uchiha calmed down: "Therefore, our enemy is Madara Uchiha."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "That's true."

"Of course, it is currently speculated that Madara Uchiha is dead, and he wants to use the Rinnegan to revive himself and regain his peak power."

"Although it's just speculation, it's highly likely."

"I think Obito was designed for his resurrection plan, so I'm here to find answers from the Uchiha clan."

After digesting Hoshino Shuichi's information for a while, Fugaku Uchiha said, "The Uchiha clan has very few records about Madara Uchiha, and he didn't leave anything behind."

Hoshita Shuichi looked at Uchiha Fugaku and said, "There must have been a reason why Uchiha Madara suddenly left back then."

"And the root of the problem lies with the Uchiha clan, I am absolutely certain of that."

"Chief Fugaku should understand what I'm saying, right?"

"After all, you are someone who has awakened the kaleidoscope!"

Uchiha Shisui looked surprised, while Uchiha Fugaku's gaze darkened, and cold sweat broke out on his back: "Shuichi-kun is indeed the strongest in the village right now. You actually saw through me."

Hoshita Hideichi smiled and said, "Because I have a deeper understanding of chakra and am a sensory ninja, I can sense that Fugaku's chakra is different."

"This is also a significant change for the Uchiha clan after awakening their Sharingan and advancing their Sharingan skills. Most people cannot escape it, and this is related to the method of advancement."

"Of course, I have no intention of prying into the secrets of the Sharingan, nor do I covet or fear its power, because I believe I have enough ability to obtain the same bloodline limit as the Sharingan."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded: "I believe in Shuichi-kun on that point, after all, he has the strength to contend with Madara Uchiha."

"The reason we concealed the fact about the kaleidoscope is because these eyes are too special, and I believe Shuichi-kun can understand that."

Hoshita Hideyoshi nodded in understanding and said, "Danzo has already been killed by me!"

Both Fugaku and Shisui were surprised.

"Shuichi, you..."

Uchiha Shisui spoke with concern.

Hoshino Shuichi raised his hand to interrupt: "Shisui, don't worry, the Third Hokage knows about this."

"Therefore, I also hope that Clan Chief Fugaku understands that not everyone is like Danzo."

"Both I and Minato-sensei have enough confidence and support the policies of the first generation."

"I heard that Chief Fugaku took Itachi with him to the battlefield this time?"

Upon hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but smile and nodded, saying, "Yes, as the son of the clan leader, one is naturally required to shoulder more responsibilities."

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "I have high hopes for Itachi's future. If possible, I would recommend him to join the Anbu."

Fugaku Uchiha was both surprised and delighted.

Although Hoshino Shuichi is currently just an ordinary Jonin in Konoha, his status is extremely special.

Judging from what was just said, Fugaku Uchiha has realized that Minato Namikaze becoming the Fourth Hokage is a foregone conclusion.

Therefore, given Hoshino Shuichi's strength, becoming the fifth generation seems to be only a matter of time.

Thus, Hoshino Shuichi's promise clearly had sufficient effect.

Fugaku Uchiha has always wanted to get closer to the core of Konoha, but he has been excluded from the sidelines because of Danzo and others' hostility. Now, Hoshino Shuichi's hints are very clear.

So, after only a moment's thought, Fugaku Uchiha revealed, "If we're talking about something related to Madara Uchiha's departure, then there's only that one thing."

"The stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths is located at our clan's Nanga Shrine."

Uchiha Shisui was taken aback and said, "Clan leader, that stone tablet doesn't seem to have anything special recorded on it."

Fugaku Uchiha said in a deep voice, "That's because Shisui, you haven't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"The higher the level of the Sharingan, the more information it can see."

"What I can see now is a way to take the Mangekyou Sharingan a step further and achieve the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

Hoshita Shuichi pretended to ponder and said, "In that case, Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan is already the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded: "That should be it."

"Overuse of a regular kaleidoscope can cause blindness."

Shuichi Hoshishita, playing along, asked, "Is that so?"

"It seems that the power of Yang Release is insufficient."

These words startled both Fugaku and Shisui Uchiha.

Hoshino Shuichi explained, "From the perspective of chakra nature transformation, the Sharingan is primarily based on Yin Release, and is a bloodline limit formed by the fusion of Yin Release and Yang Release nature transformations."

"Yin Release is represented by spiritual power, while Yang Release is represented by physical power."

"This is also the conclusion I drew from analyzing the awakening and advancement of the Sharingan, as well as its eye techniques."

After pondering for a moment, Fugaku Uchiha exclaimed, "Shuichi-kun's achievements today are certainly not due to any luck."

"The method for unlocking the Eternal Kaleidoscope, as recorded on the stone tablet, is to transplant a pair of kaleidoscopes from a direct relative, thereby gaining eternal eye power!"

Uchiha Shisui's expression changed: "Clan head, this is too harsh. And wouldn't this method mean killing one's own family?"

Fugaku Uchiha remained silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "That's why the Sharingan is called the cursed eye."

Hoshita Shuichi pondered, "The key is not the transplanted eyes, but the chakra behind them."

"The awakening of the Uchiha Sharingan and the advancement of the Sharingan are both due to changes in chakra. This special chakra causes changes in the nervous system, thus leading to the awakening and advancement of the Sharingan."

"Therefore, theoretically speaking, if one has sufficient physical strength and mental strength, it is not necessarily necessary to transplant eyes to obtain an eternal kaleidoscope."

Shuichi Hoshino made this conjecture based on two people.

The first one is Indra, the son of the Sage of Six Paths.

The second type involved transplanting interstitial cells with soil attached.

The so-called Eternal Eyes are those that will not cause irreversible damage to the eyes, leading to blindness. Even frequent use will only deplete chakra.

Secondly, there is the complete Susanoo.

Indra didn't mention it, and Xingxia Xiuyi didn't know much about him.

However, Obito frequently used Kamui, which was no different from using the Eternal Eye.

The complete Susanoo was also revealed after Kakashi lent it his eyes.

Obito's talent is beyond doubt, and his mental strength is definitely not weak either, after all, he withstood the tearing of the Ten-Tails' consciousness.

In addition to the interstitial cells, it can be said to possess both yin and yang.

Of course, at present, Hoshino Shuichi is only making theoretical speculations.

However, while theory is one thing, individual differences are truly enormous.

Therefore, Hoshino Shuichi only touched on the topic briefly and did not continue to steer the discussion towards Hashirama's cells.

Now is not the time.

Even if he were to test the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan on the Uchiha clan, Hoshino Shuichi would not choose the uncontrollable Uchiha Fugaku.

We'll discuss everything once Zhi Shui opens his eyes.

One purpose of today's remarks is to lay the groundwork for future intelligence gathering.

Secondly, it is through a certain degree of mutual honesty that trust is enhanced.

Hoshita Shuichi represents the future Konoha leadership, while Uchiha Fugaku represents the entire Uchiha clan.
