Konoha: Offer your heart to the Hokage!

A sinister plot flashed through their minds in a split second.

The red and black fluid in Uchiha Yan's eyes had been reshaped, and a Mangekyou Sharingan had taken shape within them. The pattern was similar to Obito's, but upon closer inspection, it appeared much simpler.

Even so, be prepared to activate the Parasitic Seal at any time.

However, Uchiha Yan did not make any move. Her face was contorted in pain, and she simply rolled her eyes and fainted.

Half an hour passed.

Uchiha Yan slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was a cold, bird-beak mask, which looked sinister and terrifying in the flickering candlelight.

"You're awake. The trial was a success."

"This is... the power of the kaleidoscope..."

Uchiha Yan propped herself up and sat up, turning her head to look at herself in the mirror. She could clearly sense that the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan far exceeded that of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan by several times.

A surge of power welled up from the depths of her eyes, causing her heart to swell rapidly.

"Hahaha! A kaleidoscope! The strongest celestial eye in the Three Realms!"

Uchiha Yan burst into wild laughter, the unrestrained sound echoing throughout the basement.

He didn't disturb her.

That's just how the Uchiha clan is; laughing wildly is perfectly normal for them. I just don't know which rank she's on.

After she had vented her anger, Shen Er slowly spoke:

"Calm down, sense what your eye technique is, and then tell me."

"Pupil technique?"

Uchiha Yan closed his eyes, focused his senses for a moment, and then suddenly opened them: "The ultimate power residing in the Mangekyou Sharingan, Susanoo!"

"I can sense its presence!"

An artificial kaleidoscope can also use Susanoo.

Shen Er silently noted this down and continued, "Anything else?"

"Anything else? What else?"

“Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Izuna, and Uchiha Chiri, in addition to Susanoo, each of their Mangekyou Sharingan has a unique eye technique in their left and right eyes.”

Uchiha Yan was taken aback, somewhat bewildered: "Is that so? I've never seen them use..."

She focused her attention again, her expression gradually turning grim:

"I...I can't feel it!"

An artificial kaleidoscope, without any unique eye techniques.

So make a note of this.

There's some regret, but also some relief.

These Mangekyou Sharingan belong to Uchiha Yan, and they are also his, but ultimately they are still his. Without a unique eye technique, his potential is much lower.

The differences between the Kaleidoscope pupil techniques are significant.

But whether it's the strongest Kamui or the weakest Amaterasu, having them is better than not having them at all.

What made him feel fortunate was that, given Uchiha Yan's personality, the first thing she would do after gaining power was to storm the Naka Shrine for "revenge." The fact that she didn't have her own unique eye technique meant she could at least recognize the gap in her own power, cooling her inflated ego and making it easier for him to control her.

"Hehe, it seems you haven't fully passed the trial. A kaleidoscope without its own unique eye technique can only be considered a half-finished product."

Uchiha Yan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her: "Didn't I completely pass the trial...?"

Before she opened her eyes, she only knew that the kaleidoscope was powerful, but she had no concept of its strength or how powerful it truly was. Only after personally experiencing this power did she understand the terrifying and domineering nature of the kaleidoscope.

If it's a unique eye technique, it's an ultimate power on par with Susanoo... Without a unique eye technique, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to contend with Uchiha Chiri at all.

Power deserves reverence.

Seeing her expression, Shen'er knew that her words had worked.

It seems we won't need triple insurance anymore.

Most Uchiha are normal, unlike Sasuke, who gets arrogant when the weather is nice.

"Now I'm turning off the kaleidoscope and then turning it back on. I need to give your body a full examination."

Uchiha Yan obediently did as instructed.

After repeated testing, it was confirmed that her Mangekyou Sharingan state was unstable. She failed once out of ten attempts to awaken it, only able to maintain the three-tomoe form. She couldn't even achieve a stable awakening, let alone generate excess Primal Chakra.

The defects are objectively present.

Suddenly, a saying came to mind: "Nerfing T0 champions comes with compensation, while buffing T4 champions comes with a price."

Originally, two tomoe was probably the upper limit of Uchiha Yan's talent. But under his forceful intervention, it was forcibly elevated to the Mangekyou Sharingan level.

The corresponding cost is these defects.

But in Shen'er's opinion, this flaw is completely tolerable compared to the power of the kaleidoscope itself.

Its spiritual energy has nearly doubled, and it possesses all the abilities of a three-tomoe jade.

Most importantly, it can activate Susanoo...

Susanoo grants the user powerful defense against kunai piercings, as well as terrifying destructive power capable of moving mountains and filling seas.

A rough conversion would be equivalent to half a Kage-level ninja.

"Is this laboratory near the Forest of Death?"

Uchiha Yan suddenly brought it up, eager to try:

"Knock me out now and put me in a tree hollow. When I wake up, I'll go to the Naga Shrine and test the destructive power of Susanoo!"

"Don't worry, I'll escape immediately after I'm done. The Uchiha clan's territory is quite a distance from the Naka Shrine, so I'm sure I can get away safely."

Chapter 53 You, go and become a demigod in the ninja world!

To not return home in wealth and honor is like wearing fine clothes at night...

"Stop!"

Beneath the mask, Shen Er's face darkened, and he stopped Uchiha Yan's suicidal behavior.

He retracted what he had just said.

There's no fundamental difference between Uchiha Yan and Haruyuki.

They went to the Nanga Shrine to demolish houses, then retreated after a single attack, seemingly without any risk.

However, considering that an Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan was wandering around outside, even with Hashirama's good nature, he probably wouldn't stand idly by. Tobirama, needless to say, would definitely volunteer to pursue him.

Even more dangerously, it might attract Madara Uchiha's pursuit.

What kind of place is the Nanga Shrine? It is probably the Jerusalem in Madara's heart. He received the revelation of Black Zetsu from the underground stone tablet, which led him to the path he followed later.

The consequences of destroying a sacred site are predictable.

One-track mind, blocked at both ends.

Using wooden golems, Susanoo, and Flying Thunder God on someone is tantamount to courting death.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan can grant you immense power, but the price is that it is unstable."

“Every time you use your eye technique, your eyesight will deteriorate until you go completely blind, and you will lose even the most basic Sharingan. If you don’t want to become a cripple so quickly, don’t use Susanoo lightly unless you are in dire straits.”

Instead of threatening her with death, he stood in her shoes and pointed out the damage that activating Susanoo would cause to her eyes.

These kaleidoscopes are the culmination of Shen'er's biotechnology; in a sense, they are his children. Uchiha Yan may disregard his own needs, but he cannot disregard his children.

If you use Susanoo like Sasuke, you'll go blind in less than two days.

Uchiha Yan hesitated, "Would that be?"

"When will I be able to use the power of the kaleidoscope at will?" She was somewhat unwilling. It was undoubtedly a torment that she could not easily use the power she had finally obtained.

How greedy...

Having just obtained the power of the Kaleidoscope, she began to covet the Eternal Kaleidoscope. She doesn't even dare to imagine what she would want if she were truly given the Eternal Kaleidoscope.

But after she mentioned it like that...

Shen Er immediately thought of Uchiha Bin from the investigation team, who was Uchiha Yan's older brother.

Having blood relatives alive means there's a possibility of unlocking the eternal kaleidoscope...

Currently in the ninja world, apart from Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu, he should be the only one who knows the method to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan: transplanting a blood relative's Mangekyou Sharingan or transplanting Hashirama cells.

The latter is too dangerous; the safest approach is the former.

He could use breast techniques to create artificial kaleidoscope experiments on Uchiha Bin.

However, one cannot act under the identity of "Shen Er".

No matter how justifiable the reason, Tobirama Senju would never tolerate anyone reaching into the Uchiha bloodline limit to conduct experiments to create the Mangekyou Sharingan. Even Uchiha Chiri could not accept her clansmen bearing such a twisted power.

Then kidnapping is probably the only option.

However, he himself was not entirely confident that he could bring Uchiha Bin, a Jonin, here quietly without alerting anyone.

This is not a task that can be entrusted to Uchiha Yan.

The bond called "family affection" is something no one can predict.

They shout about killing their own family to prove their path, but when it comes to actually doing it, no one can say for sure what will happen. Even a certain sea god perished in the war of the three gods because he underestimated the power of kinship…

Shen'er planned to keep Uchiha Yan hanging for now, making her completely addicted to the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, yearning for it but unable to obtain it, until she would show a drooling, infatuated look whenever she heard the word "Mangekyou Sharingan".

Only then will it be possible for her to kidnap Uchiha Bin outside the village.

To steal the eyes of one's own blood relatives...

Those who can awaken cannot do this, and those who can do it cannot awaken the Kaleidoscope.

Even so, it is impossible to determine what kind of mentality Uchiha Yan, who only has a half-baked Mangekyou Sharingan, has when facing his blood relatives.
