Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

In the Kamui dimension, White Zetsu, having left Obito's body, shrugged and reminded him that while he enjoyed having fun and wasn't good at thinking, he also sensed that the Uchiha clan seemed to be out of control.

"Could it be that there's something wrong with his Mangekyou Sharingan, and he needs to cultivate another pair?"

"But I couldn't find any information about his eyes. It's true that some members of the Uchiha clan went missing in the war, but it's almost impossible for transplanted eyes to awaken the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Orochimaru and the Root have three pairs of Sharingan, and we have two spare pairs here. I'm sure there aren't any others that have been leaked."

Obito spread the scroll on the ground and read it while muttering his speculations. His "arch-nemesis" was becoming more and more terrifying. He didn't even know what the opponent's Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique was.

There are no relevant records on the Uchiha side, and the White Zetsu have also confirmed this matter. Obito doesn't know where else he can get clues.

"Lord Madara said that overuse of the Mangekyou Sharingan will eventually lead to blindness."

"Your eyes are the same. Without that other half of your body, you simply cannot bear the burden that the Mangekyou Sharingan places on your body."

"Perhaps he taught Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi because he valued their eyes..."

White Zetsu chuckled and casually made sarcastic remarks, but Obito suddenly raised his head, tossed his long black hair aside, revealing scarlet eyes, and muttered to himself:

"That makes sense; his target was the Uchiha clan."

“Those eyes of mine have probably reached their limit after fighting me and using them so frequently, White Guy. Maybe this is my chance.”

"?"

White Zetsu felt he might have harmed Madara before him, so he silently enveloped himself and stopped speaking. If Obito were to challenge Furukawa Osamu, he would prepare to serve Nagato.

As night falls, the Uchiha clan meeting once again takes place in the secret chamber of the Naga Shrine.

After becoming a genin, Itachi Uchiha was qualified to attend important clan meetings.

Although he had no say in the matter and it was not his place to express his opinions as a 7-year-old, Fugaku Uchiha believed that exposing his son to these matters in advance would accelerate his growth.

"Clan Chief, the bloodline plan can be discussed again."

"In more than two years, there have indeed been outstanding children like Itachi, but we still haven't been able to achieve the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"The power of bloodline is the direction for breakthrough. After mastering the legendary power, the Uchiha clan will soon produce a Hokage."

The kneeling Uchiha Eighth Hokage leaned forward to offer his opinion, while Uchiha Shisui, seated in front, looked at his senior and calmly reminded him:

"Colluding with rogue ninjas is a serious crime!"

"As a member of the Uchiha clan, compromising with a member who betrayed the clan should never happen."

"How could such an important bloodline be left to wander outside?"

“The child is innocent and can receive education within the clan in the future.”

"The drugs have reached their limit. This is the best opportunity to use the Sharingan to control the power of the Tailed Beasts."

Uchiha Itachi, standing alone behind, watched his clansmen arguing heatedly, their faces flushed, and his disappointment grew.

Even though everyone has Sharingan with two or three tomoe, and could better tap into the power within their bloodlines, they still think about taking shortcuts.

The power of the Tailed Beasts was evident during the Fourth Shinobi World War, and many Uchiha members saw this as an opportunity to rise to power.

The training methods in the Hidden Cloud Village are too complicated, while the Uchiha can use this power as long as their eye power can suppress the tailed beasts.

War is destined to break out in the future, and the Uchiha will become the "gunners". After changing their identities, the position of Hokage will eventually be theirs.

"Chief, this is our chance!"

"If we can acquire more tailed beasts, and as long as we can control them with our Sharingan, the Uchiha will dominate the war."

"We might even have a chance to lead the village to unify the ninja world!"

"Faced with the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Tailed Beasts are our best tools of war."

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha finally revealed his idea, and many Uchiha members who heard it exclaimed in surprise. After careful consideration, this bold idea seemed to be quite feasible.

There are precedents for the Sharingan suppressing tailed beasts; Madara Uchiha did it back then.

Upon hearing this ridiculous idea, Uchiha Shisui was about to refute it when Uchiha Fugaku preemptively warned him in a deep voice:

"What do you take this legendary power for?"

"Bloodline inheritance? Relying on that is less useful than continuing to train your Sharingan."

Upon hearing the clan leader's words, many of the younger clan members came to their senses. In the history of the Uchiha clan, only the Uchiha Madara brothers had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The probability of awakening the Sharingan is extremely low. The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha was clearly making empty promises, but what he said was indeed tempting. He could master the power of a Tailed Beast without becoming a Jinchuriki. Only the Uchiha clan could do that.

The clan meeting did not discuss the "Bloodline Plan" or the "Tailed Beast Weapons" again. With the war over, the Uchiha clan also needed to recuperate.

At the end of the clan meeting, Itachi Uchiha noticed that many clan members gathered around the Eighth Hokage Uchiha, clearly indicating that everyone liked the idea of ​​"leading the war and unifying the ninja world".

"Shisui, you stay. Itachi, go back early. You have a mission tomorrow."

Fugaku Uchiha spoke up to remind him, and seeing his son leave calmly, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Itachi Uchiha knew Shisui; his teacher had mentioned him. Shisui was indeed outstanding, completely different from many of his clansmen.

It wasn't until he got home that Itachi stopped thinking. Seeing his younger brother rushing towards him with a smile, a smile finally appeared on Itachi's face.

Although Sasuke is only 3 years old, he has recently noticed the change in the atmosphere within the clan. His father no longer has time to care about him. Seeing his older brother being called away again before bedtime, he couldn't help but whisper enviously:

"Father seems to prefer my older brother..."

"How could that be? We all like you, Sasuke. Don't envy Itachi. He really worked very hard to take care of you."

Mikoto Uchiha gently patted her son's head and softly gave him instructions. Sasuke didn't quite understand; in his memory, his father had called him "Itachi" far too often.

In the next room, Fugaku Uchiha was still instructing his eldest son, on whom he had placed high hopes. When discussing the Mangekyou Sharingan, he squinted and said softly:

"Many secrets of the Uchiha clan are known only to the clan leaders of each generation. The Mangekyou Sharingan can also be said to be a cursed power."

“Susanoo, when used, will create a huge burden.”

"To gain powerful eye power, one must inevitably pay a huge price."

"Itachi, I hope you understand this. Many of our clansmen don't understand these things. How can legendary power be obtained so easily?"

Fugaku Uchiha began to teach his son about the secret techniques of the Uchiha clan. His son would inherit this knowledge sooner or later, so this was a good opportunity to reinforce his understanding.

"I am very grateful for my father's teachings."

Uchiha Itachi, who had been listening attentively, bowed in gratitude. When Uchiha Fugaku asked him some questions, he smiled again upon hearing Itachi's accurate retelling.

"As expected of my son!"

When Sasuke next door vaguely heard this, an envious look appeared on his little face again. Sleepiness came over him, and he murmured "brother" before falling asleep.

Back in his room, Itachi Uchiha didn't fall asleep immediately; a discrepancy had arisen between his father's and his teacher's teachings:

"Would Susanoo create a huge burden?"

Itachi thought about it carefully and didn't feel that Furukawa Osamu had any burden. The legendary power didn't seem to require the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"The teacher is indeed different!"

As Itachi Uchiha fell asleep with a hint of doubt, Obito returned to the stone tablet at the Naka Shrine. His three tomoe joined together, activating his Mangekyou Sharingan and continuously channeling his ocular power into it.

White Zetsu was also helping, and after deciphering a few more words, Obito breathed a sigh of relief. So far, Madara and Black Zetsu hadn't lied:

"There is no problem with counterfeiting the stone tablet; only these eyes can decipher its contents."

"White guy, it seems that the Senju clan also has similar records. Perhaps this is a clash of ideologies."

Hearing Obito's whisper, Whitebeard couldn't explain anything. After all, he had heard the "Hashirama Moment" too many times. Back then, the two of them did have a huge disagreement due to their different ideals, which led to their fight.

"The person Uchiha Shisui cared about most was Furukawa Osamu. He had a big conflict with his father, and the two did not have a good relationship."

"Family members could be a breakthrough point; they might even be able to successfully awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Killing the person you care about most is hopeless. White Zetsu thinks it might be better to focus on your family. Obito fell silent upon hearing the suggestion; it was indeed too cruel.

But the thought of Furukawa Osamu's unknown plans brought a chill to Obito's eyes, and he responded softly in Madara Uchiha's tone:

"Let's test the mettle of my junior before that guy returns."

Chapter 195 Everything is for Peace (Part 1)

In early September of Konoha Year 54, the daimyo of the Land of Birds, Daisuke Ogi, warmly welcomed the visiting Konoha ninja.

Upon learning that Osamu Furukawa was turning 17, Osara even invited his daughter to perform a dance.

At the banquet that evening, the daimyo of the Bird Country, Ogi, dressed in a green robe and a tall green hat, smiled throughout and exchanged pleasantries before cautiously asking:

“Lord Shu, although the Land of Birds does not have its own ninja force, we are still paying attention to the situation in the ninja world. Our country is also very aware of the reputation of Shura Furukawa.”

"I wonder what brings you here? We do not currently harbor any ninja forces."

"Not only that, the Land of Birds is also troubled by wandering ninjas, and I really hope to get the support of the Leaf Village ninjas."

"I feel very saddened that the Bird Country, sandwiched between powerful nations and without the protection of ninjas, has never been able to provide its people with a happy life."

His beard was meticulously groomed, and his clothes were simple, but a closer look revealed his quality. The daimyo of the Bird Country was clearly living a comfortable life, and as for whether he was concerned about his country and its people, Furukawa Osamu didn't seem to care.

"Lord Oogawa, there is no need to be nervous. We have come to your country to track down dangerous rogue ninja."

"Just as the document of the Fire Country Daimyo states, whether the capture is successful or not, the Konoha ninja will not blame the Bird Country."

"The problem of wandering ninjas is easy to solve. Lord Oogawa can issue a request, and the Konoha ninjas will soon be able to resolve the difficulties faced by the Land of Birds."

The strategists from the Bird Kingdom sitting opposite them breathed a sigh of relief. The Tailed Beast Wars had truly frightened them; the power of the Five Great Nations was too much for a small country to resist.

Before them stood Osamu Furukawa, who had just turned 17. The boy was gentle and handsome, seemingly harmless, but he was a powerful ninja capable of fighting monsters.

The strategists of the Bird Country were well aware of the fate of the neighboring Wind Country, and that they had become allies because Osamu Furukawa had killed most of the Sand Village's fighting force.

The thought of the boy before him having killed countless people sent cold sweat to the forehead of Kurenai, a high-ranking official of the Bird Country. He lowered his head and added:

"Lord Xiu, we have only hired some wandering ninjas to complete some tasks recently, and we have absolutely not colluded with any dangerous people."

"To be honest, Lord Dalu is honest and loves the people, and it is difficult for us to pay such high fees."

Looking at the minister who was already balding, Furukawa Osamu smiled and nodded in approval, stopping the girl beside him from continuing to serve him, and thanked him again.

"Thank you so much for the hospitality of the Bird Kingdom. This vibrant, beautiful and peaceful city is very impressive."

"Lord Oogawa, if you encounter any difficulties, you can contact Konoha or seek help from the nearest Sand Village ninja."

"We are never stingy with our help to our friends."

"Alright! With Lord Xiu's promise, we're relieved. My daughter is 15 years old this year..."

After loudly applauding, Da Lu, who was sitting in the main seat, wanted to send his daughter to warm the bed. Fortunately, his son and ministers beside him were giving him meaningful glances, so he stopped talking and laughed to cover up his embarrassment.

Zhu Xi, with her long purple hair, blushed and looked at Furukawa Osamu beside her. For some reason, the girl felt that her father's arrangement was not so hard to accept after all.

Unfortunately, Osamu Furukawa didn't seem interested in her. A hint of disappointment flashed in Toki's eyes; he was the most handsome boy she had ever seen in her memory...

The atmosphere at the banquet became increasingly harmonious, and Matt Kai relaxed, quietly showing off the exquisite and delicious food in front of him.

Yamashiro Aoba and Namiashi Raido remained polite, their eyes twitching as they looked at Might Guy. They knew they had to be even more mindful of etiquette in front of small countries!

As the banquet, which lasted until late at night, came to an end, Matt Kai, his belly full, followed behind the others back to his room, letting out a satisfied sigh:

"I never expected the food here to be so delicious!"

"The environment in this country is also very good. The River Country has too many valleys, and even the capital city looks dilapidated as it was just developed. The Bird Country is much better."

"Speaking of which, it seems that small countries are not having an easy time either. They are even threatened by wandering ninjas. I thought the ninja world had returned to peace."

Yamashiro Aoba and Namiya Raido both work in the intelligence department and are currently partners. Hearing Might Guy's somewhat naive words, they both sighed and remarked:

"Compared to being subjected to oppressive rule by neighboring countries, wandering ninjas are better off."

"There will never be true peace, Guy! Everyone except Kirigakure is amassing power, and war will break out sooner or later!"

Hearing their words, Matt Kay, who had his arms behind his head, exclaimed in surprise:

"How could this be? Why are we still fighting?"

"Shu, is that really the case? You and Captain Minato finally ended the war, so why doesn't everyone cherish this peaceful life?"

As Furukawa Osamu walked slowly down the corridor ahead, he heard Might Guy's question, waved his hand, and then gave a brief reply:

"Peace will remain for the time being, after all, the casualties this time were too great."

"If we look to the future, war is inevitable; humanity will always fight for its own ideals."

"You're a Jonin now, so you'll soon have access to this information. Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure are all working on perfecting the power of the Tailed Beasts. If you want peaceful development, you'll have to ask them first."

"The Hidden Mist Village might also be preparing for war. When the next batch of children grows up, the ninja world may fall into turmoil again."
