Naruto: My Sharingan is about to burst!

"Elder, please don't resist. I'll show you what I saw with my eye technique yesterday."

The elder, a wise man, looked at Uchiha Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan and asked, "A precognitive type?"

Seeing that Uchiha Kakuyama nodded, the elder did not resist any further and entered the illusion space.

Chapter 23 The Inherited Item

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Inherited Item

Although Uchiha Kakuzan did not possess any precognitive eye techniques, he did have Uchiha Fugaku's eye technique 'Illusion - Momentary Time and Space', and he also knew about the future annihilation of the Uchiha clan. Therefore, he directly used Uchiha Fugaku's illusion to create a realistic image of the future death of Uchiha Shisui and the annihilation of the Uchiha clan, and showed it to the Grand Elder.

Of course, he replaced Itachi Uchiha from the night of the Uchiha massacre with a masked person. Itachi Uchiha would still be of great use in the future. He wasn't afraid that the Grand Elder would be wary of Itachi Uchiha, but he was afraid that the Grand Elder would kill Itachi when he wasn't paying attention.

This is not impossible. The Grand Elder is not Fugaku Uchiha. He devoted his entire life to the Uchiha clan, and if he knew that Itachi Uchiha would be the one to wipe out the Uchiha clan in the future, he would do anything to eliminate this hidden danger.

Uchiha Kakuzan only showed the Grand Elder some fragments and scenes. Near the end of these fragments, Uchiha Kakuzan had a flash of inspiration and also showed the scene of Nagato, the leader of Akatsuki, invading Konoha Village and razing Konoha Village to the ground with a 'Super Shinra Tensei'. This would make it much easier to persuade the Grand Elder to leave Konoha Village.

As for the scene where Nagato is persuaded by Naruto to revive all the dead people of Konoha, that's obviously not included. (I'm not lying; I'm just telling part of the truth.)

Since the illusionary eye technique used by Uchiha Kakuzan was merely a genjutsu and lacked any mental destructive power, and its duration was short—essentially like showing the Grand Elder a 3D movie—it exerted very little strain on Uchiha Kakuzan. (Hmm, another use for eye techniques discovered.)

After showing the Grand Elder these clips in the illusionary space, Uchiha Kakuzan and the Grand Elder withdrew from it.

The elder's expression of shock lingered for a long time. It wasn't until Uchiha Kakuyama had almost finished his tea that the elder finally came to his senses.

The elder took a small sip of tea, let out a long sigh, and looked as if he had aged several years, even his once straight back had become slightly bent.

Uchiha Kakuyama then remembered that the First Elder was also a contemporary of the Third Hokage, and their age was considered advanced in the ninja world.

At this moment, the First Elder finally spoke, saying with a hint of self-mockery, "I never imagined that our dignified Uchiha clan would end up being wiped out."

"Even Shisui was killed by them. Sigh, Shisui was a good kid in every way, but he was too kind and worried too much. Otherwise, with his strength, how could he have been killed so easily?"

After the elder finished speaking, several tears streamed down his face.

When Uchiha Kakuzan saw the elder shed tears, he had no intention of mocking him, knowing that the elder genuinely cared for these outstanding younger members of the Uchiha clan.

Instead, he advised, "Elder, this hasn't happened yet. I've already reminded Zhishui and made preparations to ensure that he can live peacefully."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, the elder wiped away his tears, suppressed his sorrow, and his expression turned serious, revealing a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Not to mention that Shisui's death was inextricably linked to the Third Hokage and the old scoundrel Danzo, even the arrangements around our clan's territory on the night our clan was wiped out were the work of the Third Hokage and Danzo. Otherwise, even if that masked Uchiha traitor was Madara-sama resurrected, he couldn't have wiped out our Uchiha clan so quietly."

Then, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face: "But your Konoha Village didn't fare any better. Within a few years, the enemy attacked and destroyed the village."

At this point, the elder's face showed a look of surprise and doubt again: "Those eyes... I feel like I've seen them somewhere before..." With that, he got up and walked out of the reception room.

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't urge him, knowing that the Grand Elder had gone to find the ancient texts passed down through the Uchiha clan. The reason the Grand Elder held such a superior position was because the ancient texts passed down through the Uchiha clan were preserved by the Grand Elder's lineage. Even the clan head only had the right to peruse them, and could not take them away without special circumstances.

Therefore, the Uchiha clan has always had a lineage of the clan head and a lineage of the Grand Elder, who check and balance each other and help each other. Otherwise, the Uchiha clan would not have been able to survive for so long.

Uchiha Kakuzan only waited a short while before the First Elder entered, carrying a somewhat old book. He carefully wiped the table before solemnly placing the book on it and opening it to read.

After a short while, the Grand Elder stopped reading, let out a long sigh, and nodded:

"That's right, I never expected these eyes to actually appear. What an eventful time."

The elder saw that Uchiha Kakuyama was looking at him with some confusion, and then explained:

"I noticed that the person who broke into Konoha had rather unusual eyes that looked familiar, so I tried looking through some of the books passed down from our Uchiha clan, and I was surprised to actually find them."

The elder said with longing in his eyes, "Those eyes are the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths—the Rinnegan. It is said to be extremely powerful, possessing many incredible abilities, and even capable of reversing life and death, bringing the dead back to life."

"It seems that the technique he used to destroy Konoha was one of the abilities of the Rinnegan, otherwise it wouldn't have been so powerful."

Uchiha Kakuzan, intrigued, took the book from the elder and turned to the page describing the Rinnegan. There was a drawing of the Rinnegan, identical to Nagato's, with the words: "The Six Paths Eye, also known as the Rinnegan, possesses many incredible abilities. It can see into the underworld, communicate with spirits, fly without wings, distinguish truth from falsehood, recognize lies, and has the power to revive those from the underworld."

Uchiha Kakuzan flipped through a few more pages and found that they were all about strange and extraordinary people and events from ancient times to the present, which broadened his horizons.

Uchiha Okayama was deeply impressed. This was the legacy of the Uchiha clan. It wasn't just the power of the Sharingan that they inherited, but also their knowledge, experience, and coping strategies. This was the key to supporting a clan.

Knowing that these were books from the Uchiha clan's collection, Uchiha Kakuyama held them in his hands, unwilling to let go. He shamelessly said to the elder, "I'll take these back and take a look. I'll return them to you after I've finished reading them."

The elder laughed at Uchiha Kakuzan's shameless behavior and waved his hand: "Take it if you want to read it. There aren't many people like you who like reading these days. I sent some to that bastard Uchiha Fugaku when he became the clan leader, but he didn't read a single one and sent them all back to me."

“I have several hundred books like this here. If I wasn’t worried you’d lose them, I would have given them all to you.”

Chapter 24 Entrustment

Chapter Twenty-Four: Entrustment

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuzan, fearing the elder might change his mind, quickly nodded.

"I have a place to store them, please give them to me."

The elder, upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, did not agree but instead sneered:

"What do you take this for, a cabbage? This is the accumulation of our Uchiha clan over thousands of years, the inheritance of our Uchiha clan, the foundation upon which our Uchiha clan stands, you know that, kid?"

"One of the responsibilities of our lineage, the Great Elder, is to protect them, and at the same time, to record certain things and pass them down..."

The elder paused, took a sip of tea, and then continued:

"I've said all this not to show off, but to tell you the importance of these texts. If you hadn't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, you wouldn't even be qualified to access these things, let alone read them. In the entire Uchiha clan, only the clan head has the authority to consult them."

"It's not that I'm reluctant to part with them, but these books not only record the strange and wonderful stories of the ninja world, but also the detailed development of our Uchiha clan over the past thousand years. If they were to fall into the hands of someone with ill intentions, it would be a huge disaster for our Uchiha clan."

As the elder spoke, he pointed to his heart. "To protect these scriptures, not only is there a barrier in the library, but the explosive tags inside are also connected to my heartbeat. We Uchiha are experts in genjutsu, so even an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan user cannot control me instantly. And if you kill me, the scriptures in the library will be instantly destroyed by the explosive tags. Even if I die, I will not leave any future trouble for the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Kyuuyama was deeply moved by the elder's words. He had never imagined that the elder would go to such lengths for the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Kakuyama was silent for a moment, then looked at the Grand Elder: "Grand Elder, do you trust me?"

The elder nodded: "Although you are a bit slick, you are still a good person at heart. If I didn't trust you, why would I have told you so much?"

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuzan stretched out his arm, placed his hand on the elder's shoulder, and said solemnly, "Don't resist."

Although the Grand Elder had some doubts, he still nodded.

Uchiha Kakuzan activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, casually marked a spatial imprint in the Grand Elder's house, nodded to the Grand Elder, and activated his Dojutsu—'Takamagahara'.

Immediately afterwards, a series of invisible spatial fluctuations spread out, and then Uchiha Kakuyama and Elder Uchiha Ryo disappeared from the room without warning.

On an island in the Takamagahara space, Uchiha Kakuyama and the First Elder suddenly appeared. The First Elder and Uchiha Kakuyama felt a blur before their eyes, and the scenery before them changed. The First Elder looked at this unfamiliar scenery, felt the gentle breeze blowing on his face, and his pupils contracted uncontrollably. His face showed an expression of his worldview being greatly shocked.

······

In the Elder's reception room, Uchiha Kazuyama and the Elder suddenly appeared at the table. Uchiha Kazuyama was still smiling at the Elder, but deep in his eyes was a hidden joy at his successful prank. The Elder, on the other hand, was still full of amazement, still marveling at what had just happened.

Uchiha Kakuzan asked with a smile, "Elder, are there no problems now? Do you believe I have a place to store these books?"

The Grand Elder nodded. "I didn't expect your other eye technique to be the rarest spatial eye technique. If it's not safe inside, then there's no safe place in the world. I'm relieved. I'll give you the book now."

With that, the elder left the reception room, while Uchiha Kakuyama patiently drank tea and waited.

This time, Uchiha Kakuyama waited for quite a while. Just as he was finishing a pot of tea, the Grand Elder finally returned carrying two large scrolls.

The scroll was twice as big as the Book of Seals that Naruto was holding. The elder didn't put the scroll on the table, but on the ground because it was too big.

After the elder put down the scroll, he pointed to one of the red scrolls: "This red one contains the classics passed down by our Uchiha clan. You can take a look at it when you have time. As for the blue one, it records all the ninjutsu that our Uchiha clan has recorded and developed. With these two things, you can rebuild the Uchiha clan."

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuzan knew that the elder was preparing for the extermination of the Uchiha clan. He did not delay, but simply activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, aimed it at the two scrolls, and teleported the scrolls directly into the space of Takamagahara.

However, Uchiha Kakuzan still asked with some curiosity, "Elder, you've given me all this information, so what will you do with it when you need it?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, the First Elder pursed his lips: "Don't worry, what I'm giving you are backups. The first thing every First Elder does upon assuming the position is to hand-copy the inherited documents. This is to ensure that the successor can memorize these documents."

I also want to thank the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. Although he was quite hostile towards our Uchiha clan, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique he invented was truly useful. However, even with the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, it still took me almost a year to finish copying the book. The previous Grand Elder was even more pitiful; when he inherited the position, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique didn't exist yet, so it took him several years to finish copying it. The one I have here is what he passed down to me.”

Hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuzan was relieved. However, now that the matter of his eye technique had been discussed, Uchiha Kakuzan told the elder about the Uchiha clan's departure from Konoha.

After the First Elder patiently listened to Uchiha Kakuyama's plan, he remained silent for a long time before letting out a deep sigh.

"Sigh, I never thought it would come to this. It's not just the village's fault; our Uchiha clan also bears some responsibility. But our clansmen have also suffered injustice."

"Now that things have come to this point, the conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha has reached an irreconcilable stage. However, Qiushan, are you confident about Shisui faking his death? Shisui is a rare genius for our Uchiha, so we must not let him make a pointless sacrifice."

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded affirmatively, "Elder, rest assured, Shisui is a brother I can entrust my life to. If I wasn't confident, I wouldn't have arranged for him to go to his death."

Chapter 25 Staying Overnight

Chapter Twenty-Five: Staying Overnight

The elder nodded in relief when he heard that Uchiha Kakuzan had already made arrangements for Shisui's affairs, and then raised the second problem.

"The next thing is also the most difficult: persuading Uchiha Fugaku. Although I don't think much of him, he is, after all, the head of the Uchiha clan, and most of the clan members listen to him. However, he is somewhat indecisive. This is fine when it comes to maintaining good relations with Konoha, but it is a fatal flaw when it comes to important matters, as it can easily lead to major mistakes."

Uchiha Kakuzan never expected that the First Elder had such a good eye for Uchiha Fugaku's character. If it weren't for Fugaku's damned indecisiveness, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have been wiped out. He clearly had the Mangekyou Sharingan, but when Itachi and Obito were massacring Uchiha clan members in Konoha Root, instead of organizing his clan and leading the resistance, he just sat quietly in his room like a coward, and was eventually killed by Itachi without any resistance.

You have to understand, Fugaku Uchiha was the clan head. As the clan head, he had to take responsibility for the Uchiha clan. Moreover, he didn't do a good job of persuading Itachi Uchiha. As the clan head and Itachi's father, he ended up turning Itachi into the Third Hokage's most loyal henchman. It's not that Fugaku Uchiha had no responsibility, but rather that he was utterly useless.

That's why Uchiha Kagami used Kotoamatsukami to control Uchiha Fugaku as soon as they met yesterday.

Because Fugaku Uchiha could only be a hindrance in the eyes of the clan leader, and his position as clan leader was very important, the only option was to control him.

The elder was unaware that Uchiha Fugaku had been taken under the control of Kakuyama, which was why he was so worried.

Uchiha Kakuzan couldn't tell the Grand Elder about this either, since controlling the clan head was, in a sense, a grave act of treason. He could only offer words of comfort:

"Elder, don't worry, I'll go to the clan leader to persuade him. Don't worry, the clan leader will definitely support my actions after seeing the future fragments I showed him. If it really doesn't work, I'll come back to you then, and we'll persuade him together."

The Grand Elder nodded somewhat helplessly, "We have no choice but to do this. Otherwise, if I go directly, it would seem like I'm forcing the emperor to abdicate, which might have adverse effects."

Under the repeated instructions from the elder, Uchiha Kakuyama left his home. It was already dark, and it was time for dinner, so he decided to go to the clan head's house for a meal.

After leaving the elder's house, Uchiha Kakuzan wasn't in a hurry and strolled leisurely towards the clan head's house. The elder had already taken care of things, and the clan head was the one who made the decisions; it was just a formality, so Uchiha Kakuzan wasn't in a rush.

It was already evening, and there weren't many people on the street anymore. Only a few playful children were reluctantly heading home as their parents called out to them.

When Uchiha Kazuyama arrived at the clan head's house, the clan head's family was having dinner (of course, Uchiha Itachi hadn't returned from his mission yet). Seeing Uchiha Kazuyama's arrival, they quickly invited him to eat with them, and Uchiha Kazuyama didn't stand on ceremony and readily agreed.

Mikoto Uchiha hurriedly went to the kitchen to add two more dishes, while Sasuke Uchiha, who still looked like a young boy, stood there watching her with some curiosity. As the clan head, Fugaku Uchiha had many people coming and going at his house, so Sasuke Uchiha was used to it. However, Uchiha Kakuyama had not visited often before, so Sasuke was relatively unfamiliar with him and couldn't help but be a little curious.

Faced with Sasuke Uchiha's curious gaze, Uchiha Kakuyama returned a kind smile. Sasuke Uchiha was indeed a genius, but he was still somewhat inferior to his brother, not only in terms of talent, but also in terms of intelligence and perspective.

Compared to his brother, if it weren't for the Indra chakra within Sasuke and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan that his brother gave him, Itachi Uchiha would be the true protagonist archetype.

However, Sasuke is currently just a clueless young boy, not yet the immature teenager who was forced to mature by Itachi's hatred, filled with bitterness and resentment, and who couldn't stand anyone. It will be several years before he grows up.

Because Sasuke was present, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't discuss Shisui and the Uchiha's departure from Konoha with Uchiha Fugaku, only exchanging casual conversation. Dinner ended uneventfully, and Uchiha Kakuzan successfully freeloaded a meal.

After the meal, Sasuke Uchiha was led away by Mikoto, while Fugaku Uchiha took Okayama Uchiha to the reception room.

Although Uchiha Kakuzan had controlled Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto, he did not change their thoughts or personalities, so they continued to live and act normally. Furthermore, Uchiha Kakuzan did not abuse his power because of this, and maintained his politeness when interacting with the clan head.

After Mikoto Uchiha brought the tea and left the reception room, Uchiha Kakuzan told Fugaku Uchiha about Shisui Uchiha's faked death and the Uchiha clan's departure from Konoha. Fugaku, who already knew the Uchiha clan would be wiped out and had given up hope of reconciliation with Konoha, readily agreed to Kakuzan's plan.

After finalizing the plan, the next step was to discuss the details. Once all the details and preparations were agreed upon, Uchiha Okayama and Uchiha Fugaku began discussing the matter of expanding the Uchiha clan's population.
