I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 374 Chapter 375 The Capacity of Uchiha

"Was Madara Uchiha, the progenitor of the Uchiha clan, Izanagi?"

Even now, having weathered countless storms, the Uchiha Sage Sect believes it has the magnanimity to face anything. However, the earth-shattering secret revealed by Itachi Uchiha still caused the Uchiha Sage Sect's expression to change drastically.

Izanagi, the creator god and father of all gods in Japan, must be a great god no less powerful than the Lord of Mount Tai!

Although it may seem like a fantasy at first glance, it does vaguely match the previous clues.

The complex and fearful attitude of the Kage-level powerhouses and gods from the celestial realm towards the Uchiha clan; the absolute violence known as "Susanoo" and the forbidden eye technique "Izanagi"; the Nine-Tails statue and murals within the Naka Shrine...

Reasonable, unexpected.

"Since there are eye techniques named after Amaterasu and Susanoo, then there must also be 'Tsukuyomi'."

Uchiha Senmon probed.

Uchiha Itachi remained noncommittal, appearing to tacitly agree.

When Izanami gave birth to Kagutsuchi, the god of fire, she was burned to death by flames. Izanagi, missing his deceased wife, chased after her to the underworld, only to witness Izanami's tragic death covered in maggots. He then fled back to the human world in a panic.

After returning from the filthy land of the dead, Izanagi washed his body in the river.

The deity that appeared when washing the left eye was Amaterasu Omikami; the deity that appeared when washing the right eye was Tsukuyomi; and the deity that appeared when washing the nose was Susanoo-no-Mikoto.

The three gods that Izanagi transformed into while washing his face were the three noble sons who held the highest positions among the eight million gods.

Uchiha Senmon's expression was somewhat subtle.

Even if the Uchiha clan are descendants of Izanagi, using the name of the Three Noble Sons to name the Sharingan's eye techniques...

Were the entire Uchiha clan members suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) in the past?

"Uchiha Itachi, what is your purpose? Why are you telling me all this?"

After digesting this bombshell, Uchiha Senmon blinked, his crimson Sharingan sharply piercing Uchiha Itachi's icy expression.

To be honest, of all the Akatsuki members who have appeared so far, the one who is most unfathomable to the Uchiha Senmon is Uchiha Itachi.

Unlike Sasori of the Red Sand and Orochimaru, who were ruthless and treated human life as worthless, Itachi Uchiha could be said to have shown mercy when he attacked the abandoned shopping mall and invaded the Metropolitan Police Department.

Even though the battle in Sapporo turned half of the city into ruins and annihilated an entire fighter squadron, it cannot be said that it was all Itachi Uchiha's fault.

It could even be said that it was Itachi Uchiha's intervention that stopped the Orochi from wreaking havoc in Sapporo; the affected urban areas were simply unlucky.

Itachi Uchiha's style of doing things was always somewhat incompatible with the Akatsuki organization.

However, this does not mean that Itachi Uchiha was without ulterior motives.

Itachi Uchiha revealed the secrets of the Uchiha clan and directed him to the Uchiha clan's ancestral land, the Naka Shrine, which was clearly for ulterior motives.

This made the Uchiha Sage Sect feel that Itachi Uchiha was interfering with their own destiny.

If they couldn't get a clear answer, the Uchiha clan would be restless and unable to eat or sleep.

"I'm testing your 'capacity'."

Itachi Uchiha said without any emotion.

"To test whether the descendants of the Uchiha clan in the human world have the 'capacity' to be worthy of existence."

"tolerance"? !

Uchiha Senmon's heart skipped a beat, his eyes flashed, and he frowned as he asked:

"For this absurd reason, you wiped out your entire Uchiha clan from the Heavenly Realm?"

"The toad hermit of Mount Myōboku must have told you that."

Uchiha Itachi didn't take it to heart and nodded in acknowledgment:

"That's right. The Uchiha clan has ambitions that are disproportionate to their 'capacity.' Before they bring about their own destruction, I'd better put an end to it myself. The demise of the Uchiha will be meaningful in order to test my 'capacity.'"

This is absolutely incomprehensible!

Uchiha Senmon asked in a deep voice:

"What exactly do you mean by 'capacity'?"

"Above the Sharingan, there is an even higher level of dojutsu, which is the Mangekyou Sharingan. Yes, the Mangekyou Sharingan, this kind of eye is very special within the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes, then slowly opened them, revealing a striking black triangular windmill pattern.

"Throughout the long history of the Uchiha clan, only a handful of people have been able to master it. Those who lack even the 'capacity' to support the Mangekyou Sharingan are not worthy of being called Uchiha."

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Uchiha Senmon's forehead.

He's really gone mad. Itachi Uchiha, who seems to be the most normal member of the Akatsuki, might actually be the most insane one.

"You have now awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan."

Itachi Uchiha looked towards Senmon Uchiha, his eyes filled with a dangerous aura.

"Let me test whether you have the 'capacity' to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Uchiha Senmon formed a hand seal in front of his chest, his expression solemn, and coldly said:

"I thought you were a normal person who could communicate, but now it seems you're seriously insane, Uchiha Itachi."

For a moment, the secret room was completely silent, with only the crackling sound of the fireballs hanging on the cliff wall.

In the flickering firelight, the elongated shadows of Itachi Uchiha and Senmon Uchiha twisted and deformed, while they themselves remained motionless, facing each other.

The war is about to start.

Just then, Uchiha Senmon's ears twitched as he heard a commotion and a familiar exclamation coming from the exit of the secret passage.

"Nami-ryu?"

While remaining vigilant and wary of Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Senmon took a step forward and retreated backward, facing Uchiha Itachi.

Sakaki Nami tripped and fell to the ground. At the last moment, Uchiha Senmon came to her rescue.

"Nonsense!"

Upon first sight of Ichimaru's assistant, who had barged in, Uchiha Senmon frowned deeply, a flash of murderous intent crossing his eyes, which only subsided when his gaze fell upon Sakaki Namiru.

"What are these?"

Several dark figures, each with a pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes, stared emotionlessly at the Uchiha Sage.

Are they the spirits of the Uchiha clan who sleep in the Naka Shrine?

Uchiha Senmon raised an eyebrow.

I had walked through the secret passage before, but I had never seen these ghostly things before.

However, judging from the dangerous aura emanating from them, they were clearly up to no good.

Several of them raised their palms and formed hand seals, then unleashed a barrage of fireballs forward.

"Wood Release: Exploding Gun Tree!"

Uchiha Senmon quickly formed hand seals, and wooden vines instantly sprouted from his arms, coalescing into a giant tree to block the Fireball Jutsu.

Uchiha Senmon's gaze turned cold. Even if it was a ghost of the Uchiha clan, he would not show any mercy if it dared to attack him.

Immediately afterwards, the Exploding Spear Tree swept across, engulfing several Uchiha Kagami who were unable to dodge in time.

In the instant the black shadow vanished into nothingness, Uchiha Senmon's body trembled, as if some fragmented memories were being poured into his brain.

...Hypnosis...

...copy...

Just as Uchiha Senmon was lost in thought, a dark figure dodged the sudden attack from the Exploding Spear Tree, then its hands flew up and down, constantly changing, and its whole body suddenly erupted with a violent and wild high temperature.

With its mouth open, a gigantic fire dragon began to take shape.

"Perfect timing!"

Uchiha Senmon's Sharingan stared intently at the black shadow's hands, the three black tomoe spinning wildly as he perfectly replicated the black shadow's hand seals.

They even surpassed others later on, and were faster!

As the shadowy figure completed the hand seals and spewed out a giant fire dragon from its mouth, the Uchiha Senmon followed suit, opening its mouth and spewing out an identical fire dragon.

Great Fire Dragon Technique!

Two enormous fire dragons collided in mid-air, scattering sparks and flames across the ground, instantly illuminating the entire secret chamber as if it were daytime.

However, the stalemate of the Great Fire Dragon Technique did not last long. The Great Fire Dragon Technique of the Uchiha Sage overwhelmed the shadow along with the fire dragon it spewed out and completely devoured it.

After eliminating the last shadowy figure, Uchiha Senmon raised his hand, and countless trees sprouted from the ground, forming a thick barrier to block the exit of the secret passage.

"I've never seen that fire jutsu used by that dark figure before, but those eyes were able to copy it..."

Uchiha Senmon stared at his hands in disbelief.

"And while eliminating those dark figures, the techniques for using the Three-Tomoe Sharingan flashed into my mind..."

Da da da.

Uchiha Senmon glanced sideways at Uchiha Itachi, who was walking slowly.

Sakaki Namiru and Ichimaru's assistant, who had narrowly escaped death, were stunned and speechless when they saw Uchiha Itachi appear before them.

Even if they weren't close to the Uchiha Sage Clan, they couldn't possibly be unaware of the supernatural terrorist organization that had been at the forefront of attention for the past three years.

And yet, her brother-in-law/Department Head Uchiha has gotten involved with such a dangerous person...

And the identical scarlet Sharingan eyes make it hard not to have all sorts of wild thoughts.

"These shadowy figures are not only part of the Naka Shrine's automatic defense mechanism, but also sparring partners for the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Itachi glanced at the secret passage exit blocked by Wood Release and said slowly:

"Illusion, hypnosis, copying, and other basic functions of the Sharingan can be mastered quickly, even by someone like you who has just awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, once you take a walk through the secret passage."

It turned out to be the case.

Uchiha Senmon rubbed his swollen temples and let out a long breath.

The Sharingan's power is truly terrifying; it can even copy other extraordinary escape techniques.

Moreover, judging from Itachi Uchiha's nonchalant tone, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

"Brother-in-law..."

Sakaki Namiru's eyes sparkled as she looked at Uchiha Senmon with a trusting and adoring gaze.

Meanwhile, another ordinary person at the scene, Ichimaru's assistant, had cyanotic lips, was covered in sweat, and was on the verge of fainting.

This is terrifying! The Uchiha Immortal Clan is such an ambitious villain, seemingly loyal but actually wicked!

I knew it! How could there be such a pure and virtuous person? These are all just disguises of the Uchiha Sage Clan. They have been brewing a sinister conspiracy behind the scenes!

To conquer Japan, or to destroy the whole world?

Sakaki Namiryu is the sister-in-law of the Uchiha clan chief, so she might be able to show leniency. But someone like me, a spy planted by the Japanese high command next to the Uchiha clan chief…

He's definitely going to be killed to silence him!

Assistant Ichimaru's face turned ashen; he closed his eyes tightly and covered his ears with his hands.

He didn't want to hear anything, didn't want to see anything, and wished he were deaf and blind right now.

"You all retreat to the corner, so you don't get caught in the crossfire."

Uchiha Senmon gestured for the two to step aside to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Seeing the solemn expression on Uchiha Senmon's face, as if facing a formidable enemy, Sakaki Namiru and Ichimaru's assistant, each with their own thoughts, could only obediently comply.

Using the flames scattered from the previous clash of the Great Fire Dragon Technique, Uchiha Senmon could clearly see Uchiha Itachi's cold face and those captivating Mangekyou Sharingan eyes.

If the Sharingan with just three tomoe is this terrifying, the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is simply unimaginable.

Fortunately, the Uchiha Sage Clan of today is not the same as the Uchiha Sage Clan of three years ago.

The "Uchiha Itachi" who appeared at the Nanga Shrine was not the Uchiha Itachi from three years ago.

"Three years ago, you told me that if I also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, then four people would have the same eyes."

Uchiha Senmon asked in a calm and steady voice, enunciating each word clearly:

"You, Afei, the third... the last person to possess the Mangekyou Sharingan, who exactly are you?"

"You still remember a casual remark I made three years ago," Itachi Uchiha said.

"The third person, could it be Uchiha Madara? The Izanagi you mentioned...?"

Uchiha Senmon shifted his gaze slightly upwards, looking at the black-haired man with long hair riding the Nine-Tailed Fox, looking down on the world with an air of arrogance on the half of the mural behind Uchiha Itachi.

"Ha, Uchiha Madara, of course it's not him."

Uchiha Itachi's lips curled into a mocking, cold smile, which quickly returned to its original indifference.

"You really know nothing about the Akatsuki's goals or the secrets of the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Senmon frowned.

Again!

It wasn't just Itachi Uchiha; all the extraordinary beings from the Celestial Realm, whether righteous or evil, liked to create mystery, revealing only half the truth and keeping the rest hidden, acting as riddle tellers.

"If I show you my 'capacity,' will you reveal all these secrets?"

"The battles of the Uchiha clan are battles of eyes. You, with only the three-tomoe Sharingan, cannot possibly defeat me."

Uchiha Itachi's eyes widened, and blood vessels appeared in the whites of his Mangekyou Sharingan. Orange-red energy surged out and began to solidify.

"When the abilities of Asara and Tsukuyomi are awakened, the divine power named after Susanoo, the god of destruction, will reside within these eyes!"

Humerus, ulna, metacarpals, phalanges...

Segments of bone continued to grow, transforming into giant skeletal arms and ribs that covered Itachi Uchiha's upper body.

"How long can your 'capacity' withstand the absolute violence of Susanoo? Let me see."
