Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 159 Kaleidoscope Acquired

As the Susanoo covering his body gradually dissipated, Fugaku Uchiha gritted his teeth and gouged out the two Mangekyou Sharingan eyes!

Fugaku Uchiha handed over the blood-stained Mangekyou Sharingan. Hiyu Uchiha accepted it with a smile on his face, and then disappeared without a trace after a spatial fluctuation.

"My husband!!"

"dad!!"

"Father, are you alright?"

With Uchiha Touyu gone, the genjutsu on Uchiha Mikoto and the others was naturally dispelled.

What Uchiha Touyu used was not a genjutsu like the Divine Transmission Technique, which requires a certain amount of time to use. He simply hypnotized and manipulated the three people's bodies. Therefore, they still had the memories of what had just happened and knew that Uchiha Fugaku had given his Mangekyou Sharingan to the enemy for their sake.

Under the immense emotional impact, Sasuke Uchiha even had a tomoe appear in his eye, instantly awakening his Sharingan!

In other words, Itachi Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha already had the three-tomoe Sharingan. It is quite difficult to go from the three-tomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyou Sharingan, otherwise the two of them would have had to improve their Sharingan level.

Of course, the most important thing is that Fugaku Uchiha only lost his eyes, he didn't die. If Fugaku Uchiha was forced to commit suicide by the enemy in front of the two of them, they might actually be able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Don't worry, I'm fine... The clan still has some three-tomoe Sharingan stored up, I can just switch to them later."

Fugaku Uchiha waved his hand and said something, while also feeling relieved. He was genuinely afraid that the ninja suspected to be Madara Uchiha would break his promise and kill his entire family after obtaining his Mangekyou Sharingan.

A ninja who keeps his word is a rare find in this world. At the time, Fugaku Uchiha was only desperate and had no choice but to take a gamble. In reality, he wasn't very confident. Fortunately, he won the gamble in the end... although it wasn't exactly a happy thing.

After obtaining a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Tou immediately began to recreate various array plates, and at the same time, he fused the pair of Mangekyou Sharingan into a crystal.

The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is naturally incomparable to that of the ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan. The reforged Mangekyou Sharingan crystal can completely withstand the full power of Uchiha Hiu's eyes. The range of its genjutsu projection is also incredibly large, almost enough to cover a small country.

Compared to an extraordinary ninjutsu like Infinite Tsukuyomi, it is naturally far inferior. Any Uchiha who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, or who possesses Yin Release or Yang Release of this level, can basically withstand this kind of large-scale genjutsu.

It's important to know that the Infinite Tsukuyomi not only extends its reach to the entire ninja world, but also means that without the power of the Six Paths level, no one can be immune to its genjutsu!

Another point is that although Uchiha Tou's chakra is powerful, without the God Tree as an energy source, it is impossible for him to permanently control such a large area with genjutsu. At most, he can control it for two or three days before exhausting all his chakra.

"There are many drawbacks... but it's enough. I don't need to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to reclaim any chakra. On the contrary, I even need to suppress the growth of my own chakra now, so as not to turn my body from flesh and blood into an energy body."

"Two or three days is more than enough time to carry out a grand sacrifice!"

With Uchiha Tou's strength, killing thousands of ninjas, or even all of them, would not be difficult for him. However, if he wanted to avoid being discovered by other ninja villages, he would have to rely on genjutsu.

It wasn't that he had any strange fetish for wanting to be the mastermind behind everything; it was just that the Naruto world was full of dark secrets, and if Uchiha Touyu were exposed, it would have a significant impact on the cultivation of these followers. That's why he had always kept a low profile.

"None of our delegation members have returned... Konoha is much tougher than before!"

In Iwagakure, the short-statured Onoki looked at the intelligence report in his hand, then tossed it onto the table after a moment:

"Tsk, the Uchiha clan really has a lot of geniuses. That Uchiha Itachi is not even ten years old yet, and Uchiha Shisui is only fourteen or fifteen. Our eight carefully selected Jonin from Iwagakure can't even handle these two Uchiha!"

Onoki had a special feeling for the Uchiha clan. Just like the Second Hokage fought the Uchiha clan his whole life and even thought that not having toilet paper was a conspiracy by the evil Uchiha clan, Onoki had extreme awe for the power of the Uchiha clan's Mangekyou Sharingan, to the point that he almost developed Uchiha phobia.

Back when Onoki went to Konoha for negotiations with his teacher Mu, Uchiha Madara was sulking because of his differing political views with Senju Hashirama. He happened to see the two who had come to Konoha for negotiations, so he beat them both up. If it weren't for Senju Hashirama's sake, he would have beaten them to death!

From then on, Onoki developed a phobia of Madara Uchiha. It wasn't until he heard the news of the battle at the Valley of the End that the phobia improved slightly, but he still harbored an unimaginable wariness towards the Uchiha and the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Dad, what should we do? Will Konoha come after us for this?"

The one who spoke was Onoki's son, Koto. Compared to the smaller Onoki, Koto was over two meters tall, with broad shoulders, a thick waist, and a large, stout build. He was clearly the kind of tough guy you could tell at a glance.

"It's alright, didn't we have the Cloud Ninja taking the fall for us this time? They gouged out two pairs of Byakugan from the Hyuga clan and even killed the Hyuga clan leader. These Cloud Ninja have attracted far more hatred than we have!"

Onoki said something with a straight face, and a look of joy immediately appeared on Huangtu's face:

"I see. In that case, even if Konoha makes a move, they'll definitely target the Cloud Ninja first! It seems that although we failed, we didn't actually attract too much hatred!"

"What are you so happy about! You bunch of disgraceful bastards!"

Ohnoki angrily cursed, then pushed open the window and flew out of the office, leaving Huang Tu somewhat bewildered.

He turned his head and saw Deidara playing with clay figures nearby, and asked:

"Why is Dad so angry again? Am I wrong?"

Deidara had just sculpted a rabbit. After hearing Huang Tu's question, he channeled chakra into the rabbit, making it hop around, and rolled his eyes as he spoke:

"Our Iwagakure and Kumogakure sent people into Konoha together. The basic conditions and missions were similar. One infiltrated the Uchiha clan, and the other infiltrated the Hyuga clan. They were both dealing with the children of the clan leaders."

"While these are all coincidences, the conditions are indeed remarkably similar—but what was the final outcome?"

"Our Iwagakure group has made a disgrace. We didn't even get to meet the clan head before being taken down by a fourteen or fifteen-year-old Uchiha who happened to be passing by and intervened. Meanwhile, the Kumogakure not only stole the clan head's daughter's Byakugan and completed their mission, but also conveniently wiped out the Hyuga clan head..."

"Given this comparison, how could the old man not be angry? It would be strange if he weren't!!"

"Oh, I see. That's why Dad's angry!"

Huang Tu scratched his head and revealed a simple and honest smile, while Onoki, who was standing outside the window enjoying the wind, rolled his eyes.

His son is quite strong, especially after being captured once in the Third Shinobi World War. He was spurred on by his shame and worked even harder during this time. His strength is now comparable to that of a Kage.

It's a pity that it doesn't have much brains and doesn't seem like its own kind at all. Could it be that it turned all its brain cells into muscles?

Huang Tu's height and personality are indeed unlike Onoki's, but Onoki did not suspect that his wife cheated on him. Just like the people of the Land of Lightning are either fair-skinned or dark-skinned, some people in the Land of Earth are also quite special in terms of race. They are either short and stocky or tall and strong, which is a special kind of racial characteristic.

"On the contrary, that brat Deidara is far superior to my son in both training talent and intelligence... If only he could get rid of his hobby of playing with explosives, he would be the best candidate for the Fourth Tsuchikage..."

Before Onoki could finish his thought, a loud explosion rang out, and half of the Tsuchikage's office collapsed. Terrifying flames shot out from the windows, and Onoki, who was floating outside the Tsuchikage's office, was hit by a pile of flying rocks and screamed as he was buried in the stones.

"Cough cough cough! Deidara!! What on earth have you done now?!"

Huang Tu coughed as he pushed away the roof that had crashed onto him, glaring angrily at Deidara.

"Cough cough cough... It seems this experiment failed. The direction of the explosion couldn't be controlled, and I was even caught in the blast... How un-artistic!"

Deidara emerged from the ruins, looking somewhat disheveled, but he paid no heed to the roar of the yellow earth, his mind solely focused on finding the flaws in his ninjutsu.

Just then, the ruins and stones on the ground suddenly began to float up slowly. A moment later, a small old man, his head and face covered in blood, with one arm clearly bent at a sharp angle, slowly floated up:

"Deidara!!!"

"Uh...oh no, the old man's outside too! Quick, get out of here!"

Deidara casually conjured a bird, channeled chakra into it, and made it grow larger before attempting to escape. Unfortunately, even though the Third Tsuchikage was caught off guard and suffered serious injuries, he was still no match for Deidara, who was not even ten years old at the time.

Onoki opened his mouth and spat out a clod of earth. The clod swelled in the wind and instantly transformed into a gigantic giant, grabbing Deidara and the bird beneath his feet.

"You just wait, I'm going to break your bad habit of recklessly using ninjutsu and throwing explosives around the village!"

"You old geezer, that's clearly art... Aaaaaah! Help! Help! The Tsuchikage is going to kill me!"

……

The current Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure is none other than Killer Bee, formerly part of the AB duo.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Uchiha Touya used his Destruction Aura to kill the Third Raikage with the Kusanagi Sword, while Killer Bee's older brother, Raikage successor A, also died in that battle.

Having lost its elite forces and significantly weakened, the Hidden Cloud Village couldn't even find a qualified Kage-level shinobi. In the end, Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, had to become the Raikage.

Although Killer Bee may not seem very reliable on the outside, his personal charisma and strength are beyond doubt, which is why he was able to become a perfect Jinchūriki and a sworn brother of the original Fourth Raikage.

After becoming the Fourth Raikage, the immense sense of responsibility, the sacrifice of the Third Raikage who was like a father to him, and A, who was like an older brother to him, made him restrain some of his previous impulsiveness and temper, and earnestly do his job well.

Overall, this Raikage was fairly competent. After all, the barbarians of Kumogakure know that all they need is enough brotherhood and personal charisma. When it really comes down to brains, they rely on external brains.

In this respect, Killer Bee is not necessarily much worse than the Fourth Raikage in the original work. In fact, if the Fourth Raikage in the original work did not have the advantage of status and were to compete fairly with Killer Bee for the position of Raikage, he might not necessarily win.

Therefore, the Hidden Cloud Village is developing well now and has gradually recovered from the pain of the Third Shinobi World War.

If it weren't for the variable of Uchiha Hiu and the so-called nationwide chakra plan, Kumogakure would probably have surpassed Iwagakure again and become the second-largest ninja village it once was.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world. Due to the changes brought about by Uchiha Hiu, the Cloud Ninja has now fallen into an awkward situation, which led to the plan to frame the Iwa Ninja.

"Lord Raikage, this is all the information we have... Our mission to Konoha is now... completely wiped out."

Looking at the intelligence report in his hand, Killer Bee clenched his fist. Fortunately, he wasn't his older brother and wasn't as hot-tempered, so he didn't need to change desks in the Raikage's office all the time. In the end, he just slammed the intelligence report onto the table.

"Damn Iwa ninja, how dare they frame us! And they didn't even do a good job framing us; eight Jonin couldn't even capture a nine-year-old Uchiha kid!"

Killer Bee launched into a tirade of angry words before finally calming down. Compared to the Iwa ninja, whose failure was due to their own incompetence, the Cloud ninja's defeat could only be attributed to bad luck.

"Lord Raikage, please calm down. What's done is done. We should be considering Konoha's thoughts..."

The ninja who spoke was named Tsuchida, who was once the strategist of the Third Raikage and is now also the external brain of the Fourth Raikage, Killer Bee.

The Raikage of each generation were not stupid, but they were certainly not smart either. Their impulsive and reckless nature made them easy targets for traps.

Just as Zhang Fei is considered by the world to be shrewd despite his rough exterior, and certainly not a fool, he was still easily outmaneuvered by a true strategist. Therefore, having an external brain is absolutely necessary.

After hearing Tsuchikage's words, Killer Bee nodded. To put it bluntly, when they devised the plan, Killer Bee and Tsuchikage were already prepared to anger Konoha. Now, they were simply dealing with the failure of the plan.
