Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

"This battle was clearly a draw!"

"Stop trying to comfort me, Hashirama. A loss is a loss. I, Madara Uchiha, am not one to be a sore loser."

"Who comforted you!"

"Do you think I'm blind? Before you fought me, you were thoroughly worn down by those two amazing young men, Yue and Guang! If you were at your peak, the outcome would be uncertain."

...Hmph. You're as naive and self-righteous as ever. But it's true, if I had more chakra, more eye power...

After a long while, Ban finally couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing an extremely pleased smile.

"Ha...ha! Ha! Ha!"

Hearing Madara laugh, Hashirama couldn't help but burst into laughter as well.

Chapter 73 The Secret of Eye Techniques

The epic battle at the Valley of the End ultimately ended in a draw.

Although Madara collapsed at the last moment due to exhaustion of chakra, Hashirama was also nearly "exhausted".

When the proud Madara Uchiha finally lowered his head and agreed to sit at the negotiating table, the dark clouds of the Warring States period that had shrouded the ninja world for hundreds of years finally saw a glimmer of dawn.

Another month passed, and Tsukito and Kou finally emerged from the Senju clan's top-tier medical room.

Inside the temporary joint camp of the Senju and Uchiha, the atmosphere was both eerie and vibrantly enthusiastic.

Once mortal enemies fighting on the battlefield, they now have to learn to share the same pot of rice.

Although the two sides still occasionally bicker over queuing or eye contact, everything is moving in a positive direction under Hashirama's unreasonable "forceful suppression and enthusiastic laughter".

Just as the peace negotiations were proceeding at a rapid pace, Minato Namikaze returned.

As the "plenipotentiary peace envoy" appointed by the Senju clan, Minato was followed by a large and imposing procession.

Those were the leaders and representatives of the Ino-Shika-Cho (Yamano, Nara, and Akimichi) clans, as well as the smaller ninja clans in the Land of Fire, such as Aburame and Inuzuka.

However, Minato, who was walking at the front of the group, did not show the joy of completing the mission. Instead, his face revealed a hint of exhaustion and complexity that was hard to hide.

"What's wrong, our Minato envoy? That expression doesn't seem like that of a Konoha hero who has just accomplished something extraordinary."

At the camp entrance, Uchiha Tsukuyomi leaned against a wooden pillar, watching Minato approach with a teasing smile on his lips.

Minato stopped, his azure eyes gazing intently at the moon before he let out a long sigh.

"Moon, I originally thought I was going to spread Lord Hashirama's philosophy of peace, to use the 'Will of Fire' to influence them..."

Minato rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile, "But when I got there, I found out that those clans didn't care about any lofty ideals at all. The reason they agreed so readily was because they had heard about the alliance between the Senju and Uchiha clans."

“They are fear.” Minato’s tone carried a hint of the helplessness of a budding politician. “They are afraid that if they don’t join immediately, they will be crushed by these two behemoths. So… this seemingly wonderful alliance is essentially still based on absolute military deterrence and the binding of interests.”

He finally understood why Yue had said, "Purpose and motive are never important; only interests matter."

Yue patted Minato on the shoulder. "No matter how ugly the process was, the result is that you brought them all back safe and sound. The framework for peace has been set. All that's left is to get used to it."

After calming Minato, whose worldview had been slightly shaken, Yue turned and walked towards a solitary tent at the deepest part of the camp.

That was where Madara Uchiha recuperated.

As one of only two Kage-level fighters in the ninja world, Madara's tent was not guarded at all.

Because it's unnecessary, and no one dares to provoke him.

Yue lifted the curtain and went inside.

Inside the tent, Madara Uchiha sat cross-legged in front of a low table, resting with his eyes closed.

He had removed his dark red armor and was only wearing a loose black kimono. Several wounds on his body were wrapped in bandages, but his domineering aura remained undiminished.

Hearing footsteps, Ban didn't even lift his eyelids; he knew immediately who it was.

“Uchiha Tsuki, your strength… is barely enough to talk to me.”

Without any hesitation, Yue sat down opposite Ban and, without beating around the bush, directly raised her biggest question about the trip.

"Chief Ban, now that we're all at the same negotiating table, I have an academic question I'd like to ask you."

Yue pointed to her eyes.

"Regarding the 'exclusive eye techniques' of the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"My left eye's pupil technique is 'Tenminchunu,' which manipulates gravity, and my right eye's is 'Yajikiken,' which possesses the law of causality; my two eyes, which are light, are 'Yazenya,' which can perform deep spiritual connections and control, plus Amaterasu."

"Then, Clan Chief Madara, what exactly are the exclusive eye techniques of your Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan that make the entire ninja world tremble? Why didn't you use them on us? Are we not worthy of your full strength?"

Upon hearing this question, a very strange expression flashed across Madara's face.

"My eye technique?"

A sneer curled at the corner of Ban's mouth as he uttered four words:

"Susanoo?"

Upon hearing this answer, Yue smiled slightly and, knowing Ban's temperament well, slowly spoke.

"Besides that? Could it be that Chief Madara only knows Susanoo?"

Madara didn't bother to answer. He simply stretched out a hand, and his dark eyes instantly transformed into the crimson Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!

"Om-!"

There were no hand seals, and no massive leakage of chakra.

Under Yue's gaze, the dozen or so kunai and ninja swords placed on the weapon rack in the corner of the tent suddenly seemed to come alive and floated into the air!

Immediately afterwards, as Madara's gaze shifted, the dozen or so heavy ninja tools moved madly through the cramped tent at an extremely terrifying speed and along an extremely treacherous trajectory.

"A dojutsu that controls ninja tools?"

The Mangekyou Sharingan, the unique eye technique of Orochimaru's experimental subject, "Uchiha Shin."

But Yue doesn't think that's all there is to it.

As expected, Madara's use of Shin's eye technique was just the beginning.

He then displayed a variety of different eye techniques, including those similar to the moon, such as "Heavenly Master," and others similar to "Amaterasu," among countless others.

"Has your curiosity been satisfied?"

"I'm satisfied."

Yue smiled with satisfaction; his inner conjecture about pupil techniques had been confirmed.

There is no such thing as an absolutely fixed 'exclusive eye technique' in this world.

In the end, eye techniques are nothing more than the extreme manifestation of 'Yin Release' within the top-tier container of the Mangekyou Sharingan...

Simply put, the moment each Uchiha clan member awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, their spirit is subjected to extreme stimulation. At that moment, their subconscious desires and obsessions are automatically programmed into a 'Doujutsu operating formula' by their soul, which is engraved in their eyes and becomes what is known as 'innate Doujutsu'.

Like the moon, he desperately wanted to control and escape his destiny, so his eyes subconsciously contained formulas for 'changing probability' and 'manipulating gravity'.

Like light, she was treated as an isolated weapon from childhood. What she longed for most deep down was 'connection with others' and protection of herself. Therefore, she awakened the 'Eight Thousand Spears' and 'Amaterasu' formula of spiritual connection.

In theory, any formula can be learned!

Chapter 74 Let's call the village Konoha.

Such as some common eye techniques from the original work, such as Susanoo, Izanagi, and Izanami.

Need I say more about their power? They are comparable to many "exclusive eye techniques".

If eye techniques are truly unique, then why can every Mangekyou Sharingan use "Susanoo"?

Because that was the "open source code" that the Uchiha ancestors made available to the Uchiha clan! It was a replica of the "eye power operation formula" that enabled the Mangekyou Sharingan to awaken.

The principle behind how "Izanagi" and Jiri's grandmother's "Izanami" could be used by the Uchiha clan in later generations is probably the same.

The "Eye Power Operation Formula" was selflessly shared by someone with "great love".

As for Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Kotoamatsukami, Kamui, etc. from the original work...

These eye techniques, which were later mythologized as "exclusive," were probably because their first owners, in order to preserve their absolute trump card, kept the "chakra circulation formula" firmly hidden in their minds until they took it to their graves, never putting it into writing!

"Since everything can be learned..."

"Clan Chief Madara, since you have so many methods, why did you only use Susanoo to deal with us?"

"Because it's not necessary."

Madara Uchiha opened his eyes.

"In the face of absolute power, any trickery is futile."

Madara Uchiha looked at the moon and smiled contemptuously: "Only the weak would place their hopes on 'unexpected' eye techniques."

Yue, who was mocked as weak, took a deep breath. Instead of getting angry, she stood up and bowed very solemnly to the ninja world demon in front of her.

"I have learned a lot, Chief Ban."

Ban was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Yue to do this, and could only wave his hand: "Get lost, don't try this on me."

When Uchiha Tsuki lifted the tent flap, it was already completely dark outside.

The biting wind blowing on his face did not make him feel cold; instead, it gave his heart, which was racing with excitement, a slight physical cooling.

"Releasing eye techniques requires eye power. Even with the Ming seal, my mana bar is still limited, making it impossible to use these eye techniques frequently. I really need to find a way to expand or upgrade to the Eternal Kaleidoscope."

As Yue walked through the snow-covered campsite, she silently made plans in her mind.

Hardware limitations remain the biggest weakness. The current Ming Seal expands the upper limit of his pupil power and allows it to recover slowly through rest, but this upper limit is still far behind that of the Eternal Kaleidoscope, and the recovery speed is extremely slow.

"It seems that the parallel and sequential plans for the Ming seal need to be put on the top agenda."

"Yue, you're back?"

As soon as I lifted the curtain of my tent, a warm aroma mixed with the sweet scent of roasted sweet potatoes wafted towards me.

Uchiha Hikaru was squatting by the brazier, carefully poking at the embers with a wooden stick.

Seeing Yue walk in, she immediately stood up, a reassuring light flashing in her dark eyes.

"You went to see that horrible man, were you bullied?" Guang looked Yue up and down, making sure he wasn't missing any limbs, before letting out a sigh of relief.

"It wasn't that I was bullied, but I was thoroughly looked down upon."
