Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

"Eight thousand spears?"

Tsunade stared blankly at the crimson moon hanging high above her, her misty eyes filled with confusion. This was the first time in her life she had ever heard of this unfamiliar eye technique.
"Isn't Grandma Hikaru's eye technique a combination of Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi?"

When Tsunade was very young, Tobirama Senju, who was in charge of putting her to sleep, emphasized to her the existing Mangekyou Sharingan abilities within the Uchiha clan.

Tsunade, who had heard it so many times that she was almost calloused, remembered it very clearly: Uchiha Hikaru's eye technique was the strongest Amaterasu + the most Yin Tsukuyomi. How come there is now an extra Eight Thousand Spears out of nowhere?
"Could there really be a turning point?"

Now, she could only place all her hopes on Uchiha Hikaru, who had come to their rescue, hoping he could lead them to a comeback from this desperate situation.
"It's the power of the divine tree again. Just how much divine power have you peasants stolen?"

Cixian stared with a furrowed brow at the eight thousand spears embedded in the crimson moon in the sky, his tone filled with an unprecedented rage.

Although the exact nature of this eye technique is still unknown, its design alone clearly imitates the Divine Tree's signature skill – Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Do you think I want this evil power?

Standing on the ground, Uchiha Hikari exuded a superior aura, looking down upon everyone. Hearing Jigen's angry voice, she slowly shook her head, the sorrow and regret clearly visible in her crimson eyes.

"If I could, I would rather never awaken these eyes."

During the years he was sealed away, whenever Hikaru Uchiha closed his eyes, the scene of Kaguya's invasion would involuntarily appear in his mind.
The wailing of the tribesmen before their tragic deaths, the streets soaked in blood.
And that smiling boy who was willing to sacrifice everything for himself,

If she hadn't always remembered Uchiha Gin's radiant smile, she might have long since lost herself in the eternal darkness, becoming a mindless, living corpse.

"You're just playing tricks. I don't believe you can take on an entire army by yourself."

Seeing Uchiha Hikaru looking so dejected, Jigen's face twitched slightly. This native was too arrogant, playing flashbacks at such a crucial moment.

"Charge! Kill them all!"

With a wave of his hand, the clones in the arena flashed red lights, raised various personal weapons above their heads, and the chilling killing intent emanating from them made Tsunade and the others feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"So, I'm going to die after all?"

A bitter smile appeared on Tsunade's lips as she was filled with despair. She had been too foolish to place all her hopes on Grandma Hikaru. After all, she was not a superhero and could not possibly withstand an entire clone army on her own.

"Qiang!"

Even in this seemingly hopeless situation, Orochimaru didn't give up. He drew his longsword from behind him and stood before him, his brow furrowed as his mind raced, analyzing ways to break the deadlock.

"Asshole, let me go!"

Jiraiya, pinned down by several clones, stared in fury at his teammates, who were surrounded by enemies and about to be beheaded. His hoarse roar was filled with deep helplessness.
The clone's massive hand was like an iron clamp, impossible to budge, and Jiraiya's voice grew weaker and weaker with his futile struggles.

"Go ahead and let me go, huh?"

Just as he was about to despair, he suddenly noticed that the large hand pressing down on him was trembling slightly. Startled, he looked up and heard a series of heavy thuds as if they were falling.
"Bang!"

"when!"

"Snap~ Buzz buzz buzz!"

Looking at the buzzing chainsaw lying in front of her, Tsunade raised her head in confusion, only to find the clone of the Eight-Tails Knight standing before her looking shaky and unsteady.

Not only him, but all the clones around him seemed to have lost their souls, dropping their weapons and standing there unsteadily, their legs trembling as if they had been flying all night.

"Tsunade, do you believe in light?"

"what?"

Hearing the cold, clear voice beside her, Tsunade, still in a daze, hurriedly turned around and found that Uchiha Hikaru, who had been standing not far away just moments before, had somehow appeared beside her.
"Light? Does that refer to you, Light Milk Sister?"

Tsunade, who had almost told the truth, quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from speaking, and replied tremblingly,

"It's roughly the same idea."

Uchiha Hikaru glanced briefly at the clearly frightened Tsunade, nodded thoughtfully, and then shifted his gaze to Jigen, whose brows were furrowed.
"I'm in a hurry. Are you going to come down yourself, or do I have to wait to be shot down?"

"What exactly did you do?"

Sensing the chakra within the clone's body disappearing at a visible rate, Jigen slowly stood up, his star-shaped black eyes flashing with a sharp light.

This native is strange.

"I didn't do anything special, I just benefited a little from them."

Uchiha Hikaru gently shook his head, and the pattern in his scarlet eyes suddenly shifted.
"Pfft!"

As the first clone fell backward, the sounds of people kneeling echoed in everyone's ears.

As a cloud of dust billowed up, in the blink of an eye, the once-aggressive clone army was now completely in a state of utter despair. Had it not been for their weak sense of self, they would likely have been screaming in agony by now.
Upon seeing this, Cixian's gaze sharpened, his Byakugan's insight instantly reaching its peak. His eyes pierced through the thick armor of the fallen clones, finally settling on the strange mark on the back of each clone's hand. His pupils contracted slightly.
"This is."

The mark was exactly the same as the pattern inlaid on the red moon hanging high in the sky. Even if Jigen was stupid, he could tell that the reason the clones had become like this was thanks to Uchiha Hikaru.
"Hiccup~"

Feeling the massive amount of chakra flowing from the Eight Thousand Spear Marks, Uchiha Hikaru let out a satisfied burp and squinted his eyes in enjoyment. A faint blush rose on his fair face, and he looked even more beautiful and charming under the red moonlight.
"This chakra is delicious. Thank you for the meal."

Uchiha Hikaru gently licked his rosy lips, savoring the clone's pure chakra. He hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

These clones possessed mental strength as fragile as infants; the Eight Thousand Spears imprinted their marks upon them with almost no effort.

unfortunately
Glancing discreetly at Jigen, who remained unaffected by the Eight Thousand Spears, Uchiha Hikaru subtly pursed his lips. If he could plant the mark on this guy, the game would be over, right?
"Sister Guang!"

Once free, Tsunade and her two companions quickly gathered together and dashed to Uchiha Hikaru's side, their eyes wide with curiosity like those of curious children.
"You did all of this?"

Tsunade turned to look at the clone who had just been so arrogant but was now kneeling on the ground, her confusion only growing.
"It's just a small trick to leverage resources."

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at the disheveled group, a glint in his eyes, and three swallow-shaped marks, connected end to end, appeared on the backs of their hands.
"This?"

As the concentrated chakra surged into their parched meridians, the three who were about to ask a question instantly fell silent, their eyes widening in astonishment.

"Do you feel better?"

"I want to hit ten!"

Feeling invincible, Jiraiya's face flushed like a monkey's bottom. With nowhere to vent his energy, he shouted and then struck a ridiculously embarrassing bodybuilding pose he'd learned from Might Guy, making Tsunade and Orochimaru's eyes twitch.
Boom!
"You idiot! Behave yourself!"

Fortunately, Tsunade's unleashed iron fist successfully snapped the arrogant Jiraiya out of his daze, otherwise he would have gone and challenged Jigen to a duel.
"A dojutsu that absorbs and transfers chakra?"

Orochimaru meticulously examined the mark on the back of his hand. After a brief analysis, he roughly guessed the ability of Uchiha Hikaru Yachihara. His narrow, snake-like eyes held not only astonishment but also a hint of barely perceptible infatuation.

Bloodline Limit
"You're as smart as ever, no wonder Ah Yin values ​​you so much."

Hearing Orochimaru's murmur, Uchiha Hikaru turned his head in slight surprise, looked at Orochimaru who was deep in thought, hesitated for a second on the other's outfit which did not fit his primary sexual characteristics, and praised him in a complicated tone, "Did I guess right?"

Orochimaru looked up at this and asked with a face full of curiosity.

"That's right, but not entirely."

Uchiha Hikaru first nodded slightly, then shook his head. The abilities of the Eight Thousand Spears were not that simple.
"It really is an ability similar to Infinite Tsukuyomi."

Having also discerned the power of the Eight Thousand Spears, Jigen took a deep breath. His eyes held apprehension, but even more so, thoughtful consideration.

He glanced down at his empty hand. He had been bathed in the red moonlight, so why hadn't he been marked?
There must be some limitation to this eye technique; we must find it.

"Absorbing chakra is all I do. My legion has no shortage of chakra."

Thinking of this, Cixian's face once again showed arrogance. He slowly floated into the sky, raised his hands, and the wedges in his palms began to shimmer with a faint light.
"Rise, my legion!"

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless pillars of chakra light shot into the sky, and black markings appeared on the surface of each fallen clone.
"Impossible, they clearly didn't have a single drop left."

As the clones stood up one after another, Tsunade's small face was filled with astonishment.

"Even your clumsy imitation can exchange life energy for chakra, so why can't my Karma?"

As if hearing Tsunade's exclamation, Jigen lowered his head and retorted arrogantly,
It's true that the clone's chakra was drained by the Eight Thousand Spears, but Hashirama cells have no shortage of vitality.

Even clones created quickly using technological means still possess life energy far exceeding that of ordinary people.

It's just chakra, you can always squeeze some out.

"Fuck me!"

At Jigen's command, the clones that had exhausted their life force to thaw the Karma shard swarmed forward, launching a life-burning attack on Uchiha Hikaru and the others.
"Hmph! Kagutsuchi."

Seeing the clone army, whose momentum was even stronger than before, Uchiha Hikaru frowned slightly. Instead of using the Eight Thousand Spears to absorb chakra again as Jigen had expected, he raised his eyes and summoned a black wall of fire to meet the attack.

The blazing black flames carried a terrifying aura of destruction, and even the thawed clones dared not recklessly confront them. After halting, they all unleashed their most powerful abilities.

Suddenly, a golden sandstorm erupted, fiery magma shot into the sky, and chilling ghost fire, accompanied by corrosive liquid, rained down. The colorful escape techniques ultimately merged into a bizarre rainbow, crashing directly into the wall of fire formed from condensed black flames.
"boom!"

Hiss~
But all of this paled in comparison to Amaterasu; it was swallowed up without even causing a ripple.
Witnessing this, Cixian's face showed not disappointment, but rather a hint of joy.
"really!"

Just as he suspected, Uchiha Hikaru's eye technique had limitations; he didn't use the ability to absorb chakra.

"Number of uses? Capacity limit? Or cooldown time?"

Carefully observing Uchiha Hikaru's every move, Jigen attempted to find the limitation of the Eight Thousand Spears.
"Sister Guang, we can help too!"

Seeing that Uchiha Hikaru single-handedly controlled an entire army, Tsunade and her two companions, eager to try, stepped forward and volunteered. With the chakra channeled by the Eight Thousand Spear Marks, they felt confident they could do it again.
"No."

"what?"

The three men, who had already rolled up their sleeves, paused in their tracks.
"Next time, it's almost lunchtime."

Uchiha Hikaru raised his eyelids, glanced at the dim sky, and the pattern in his eyes shifted. The clone army, which was trying to break through Kagutsuchi's obstruction, had once again gone out of service.
"what?"

Seeing this strange scene, Cixian felt a sudden tightness in his heart. Could it really just be a skill cooldown?
Why was he able to remain unaffected?
Amidst these questions, Jigen's curiosity about the Uchiha's Hidden Eye Technique reached its peak; he wanted to uncover its secrets himself.
"despair!"

He suddenly landed, and his skin began to turn deathly pale at a visible speed. Hashirama Senju's appearance was gradually replaced by another unfamiliar face.

"In the end, I still have to do it myself."

"That is."

As an elegant, fitted white long-sleeved tunic was draped over Jigen's shoulders, a completely unfamiliar man, whom Tsunade and the others had never seen before, completely replaced the previous clone number four. The terrifying aura emanating from him sent a chill down their spines.

Jigen—no, he should now be called Otsutsuki Isshiki—who descended in the form of the Otsutsuki himself, decided to end this farce.
"Humans, rejoice! To witness the form of God is the greatest honor of your lives."

And now, only one minute has passed since Uchiha Gin left.

"Oh!"

On the other side of the battlefield, 009, who had trampled a crimson figure under his feet, raised his head in confusion. Looking at the crimson moon overhead that stirred his very soul, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Damn it!"

Madara Uchiha's annoyed voice rang out from below. 009 shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind, and a gentle smile appeared on his kind face.

"Are you convinced?"

"I give up! If only I had timed it right!"

Enraged, Madara Uchiha cursed, his old face beneath his mask filled with frustration. Upon closer inspection, the purple light on his forehead had somehow returned to its original green.

Oh ho~ So the three-minute trial card for the power of Asura has run out of time!

This completely ruined his previously dominant performance, resulting in him being utterly defeated by 009, who had unleashed 50% of his Wedge power.

"what!"

Bang!
Just then, a blue figure flew backward from a distance, crashing heavily onto the open ground beside him, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Izuna!"

When the smoke cleared, Madara Uchiha looked at his younger brother, whose body was covered in small arrowheads, and his eyes were filled with heartache.
"Cough cough cough Big brother, I'm fine."

Covered in dust and dirt, Uchiha Izuna forced himself to stand up, the nine Tailed Beast Knight cards that had been reverted to their original forms scattering across the ground with his movement.
"009, haven't you sorted it out yet?"

001, his clothes slightly dirty, descended from the sky. Looking at his teammate, whose power was overflowing, he raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.
"You only used 50%? You've become lax."

"He's strong."

009 scratched his head sheepishly, pushed off with his feet, and prepared to strike Uchiha Madara until he deactivated his transformation. He opened his mouth and closed his eyes.
"Well"

The terrifying force emanating from his chest filled Madara Uchiha with humiliation. Overwhelmed by extreme emotions, a wisp of purple mist gradually appeared in his crimson eyes.

"Whoosh!"

Just as this profound aura was about to break through its shackles, a black and white figure swept past, carrying 009 and 001 away, leaving behind a sentence in the air.
"Excuse me, could you please let me pass?" (End of Chapter)
