Naruto: My Sharingan is about to burst!

Uchiha Shisui nodded, indicating that he understood: "When are you leaving?"

"I'm leaving right away. I need to take care of some business while on this mission."

As he spoke, Uchiha Kyusan put down his water glass and anxiously instructed, "If I happen to run into something and don't come back, when you see Danzo, make sure he doesn't gouge out your eyes."

Seeing Shisui's puzzled expression, Uchiha Kakuzan seemed to be saying: I'm willing to risk my life, why would I care so much about my eyes?

Because Uchiha Shisui had a history of having his eyes gouged out by Danzo, Uchiha Kakuyama thought about it and decided to confront Shisui.

"I secretly used the transcription seal to seal 'Izanagi' into your Sharingan. The trigger condition is that your heart stops beating for twelve hours and then you are revived after the negative effects are removed. I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but I was afraid that you would have Danzo gouge out your Sharingan to make the effect more realistic. If he gouged out the eye with 'Izanagi', then you would really die."

Uchiha Shisui suddenly realized what Qiu Shan meant when he heard Qiu Shan's words. No wonder Qiu Shan said that in order to avoid being discovered that he was faking his death, he should actually die. It turned out that he had prepared a backup plan all along.

Suddenly, Uchiha Shisui seemed to remember something and asked him somewhat nervously:

"Are your eyes alright? Although I don't know 'Izanagi,' I do know that its condition for use is to cause the Sharingan that uses it to become permanently blind."

Seeing that Zhi Shui had shown concern for this person first, Qiu Shan felt a warm current flow through his heart and comforted him:

"Shisui, don't worry, my Sharingan is a bit special, it won't be affected."

Knowing that Uchiha Kagakusan's eyes were alright, Shisui finally felt relieved and remarked:

"You're always like this, never missing a chance to tease me. How perverse your sense of humor is! If this matter weren't so important, I reckon you would be secretly laughing to yourself when I'm resurrected and completely bewildered."

······

The two chatted for a while longer, then Uchiha Kakuyama, seeing that it was getting late, bid farewell to Shisui.

After bidding farewell to Shisui, Uchiha Kakuyama headed out of the village. Since he was alone on this mission, he wasn't in a hurry. After registering the mission form with the ninja at the village entrance, he left the village.

Because Uchiha Kakuzan deliberately chose this mission—the location of the rogue ninja was in the same direction as Uchiha Kakuzan's journey to the Land of Whirlpools—Uchiha Kakuzan wasn't in a hurry to complete the mission. Instead, he focused on taking care of his own affairs first.

When Uchiha Kakuyama passed through a relatively large city, he transformed into a wealthy man and went on a shopping spree.

Using the funds he had obtained from Fugaku Uchiha, Okayama first bought a large amount of food to use when his clan moved to the Land of Whirlpools. He also bought firewood, rice, oil, salt, tables, chairs, benches, and all sorts of other things. Everything from clothing and food to housing and transportation was included in Okayama's purchase plan.

Because the quantity of items to be purchased was enormous and the amount of money spent was considerable, Uchiha Okayama simply rented a small courtyard and used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and Transformation Technique to purchase the items according to plan, which was both inconspicuous and highly efficient.

Of course, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't intend to buy everything at once, as that would easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. Anyway, there were quite a few cities along the way; he could buy a little here and a little there, and gradually gather all the items.

Many shadow clones went out to purchase supplies, while the main body stayed in the courtyard and didn't go anywhere. When the courtyard was almost full, he activated the Mangekyou Sharingan and placed the supplies on the island in his space. The island was large enough to hold enough supplies for the clan to use for a hundred years. Of course, Uchiha Kakuyama didn't have that much money.

Chapter 29 The Island Villager's Questioning

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Island Villager's Questioning

After Uchiha Kakuyama put the last batch of supplies into his space, he nodded in satisfaction. With the space, things were much more convenient than before. Using sealing scrolls not only couldn't store much stuff, but the scrolls also took up a lot of space, making them impractical.

And so, Uchiha Kakuyama continued his journey towards the Land of Whirlpools, stopping frequently along the way to purchase supplies and begin constructing his living quarters in the Takamagahara space. It was impossible for him to sleep in the wilderness every time he rested in the space.

Uchiha Okayama plans to build his house on a high point on the island, so that he can see the entire island from inside.

Uchiha Kakuzan's requirements for a house were not high. He would make do for now and wait until he learned the Wood Release techniques of Senju Hashirama or Yamato before moving on to a three-bedroom house or a large country villa.

Since Uchiha Kakuzan himself had absolutely no experience in this area, he could only first use Earth Release to solidify and level the land in the location he had chosen. Then, he hired a team of experienced professionals who made a living this way, placing them directly into his spatial dimension to do the work. Uchiha Kakuzan himself sent a shadow clone to supervise the work, mainly to prevent them from wandering around. (He used genjutsu when releasing them; with Uchiha Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan, deceiving these ordinary people who weren't even ninjas was a piece of cake.)

While Uchiha Kakuyama was busily working on his plans for his new home, Uchiha Shisui was also putting their agreed-upon plan into action.

Uchiha Shisui was also very clever. He didn't deliberately reveal his Mangekyou Sharingan. Instead, he took on several challenging missions and only used his Mangekyou Sharingan in difficult situations, such as against tough enemies or pre-prepared traps. After using it, he would immediately put it away without any delay.

However, there are no secrets in the world, especially since he deliberately and intentionally leaked it. Although Uchiha Shisui was always careful when using it, how many ninjas who have been in the ninja world for so many years are fools?

After Shisui Uchiha completed several challenging missions, news of the abnormality of his Sharingan inevitably spread, and it was only a matter of time before Danzo found out. Fugaku Uchiha's problem was that he was always a step too slow in reacting to this matter, unable to effectively stop its spread.

Just as things were slowly escalating in Konoha, Uchiha Kakuzan, after more than a week of traveling eastward in a leisurely, stop-and-go style, finally arrived at the seaside. Meanwhile, the construction team working in Uchiha Kakuzan's spatial dimension had finally finished their work yesterday, and Uchiha Kakuzan used his spatial imprint to send them back to their original hometown.

The construction team was indeed professional. Although it only took a week, the house they built was quite good. It was entirely made of wood, with the entire structure raised to prevent moisture and insects. The materials were solid, and although it wasn't very exquisite, the quality was excellent. It would be fine for a family to live in for twenty or thirty years.

Uchiha Kakuzan was very satisfied with this. He not only paid them all their wages but also gave them a red envelope as a reward. Of course, he also used genjutsu to blur their memories in order to prevent future troubles.

······

According to intelligence, Kojima Murao, a rogue ninja from Konoha, is hiding in a fishing village by the sea, presumably preparing to go out to sea at any time to escape the village's pursuit.

Uchiha Kakuzan's mission was to kill the rogue ninja Kojima Murakami on the spot, or arrest him and bring him back to the village for life imprisonment. Uchiha Kakuzan naturally chose to kill him on the spot, as it was more convenient and wouldn't interfere with his own tasks.

Near this small fishing village, Uchiha Okayama stopped. To be on the safe side, he naturally sent a shadow clone to probe first.

This fishing village didn't have a large population to begin with, so Uchiha Kakuzan didn't even need to investigate. Just by looking at the villagers' skin, he could tell that the fishermen's skin was quite different from that of normal people because they were exposed to the sun at sea all year round. They also noticed the dryness and chapping of their hands and how well they maintained them. Since ninjas' ninjutsu mainly relies on hand seals, they usually pay attention to the maintenance of their hands. Unlike ordinary fishermen, whose hands are often corroded by seawater, their hands are also very different from those of normal people.

Although Kojima Villager wore makeup to disguise himself and dressed like a fisherman, Uchiha Okazan was able to distinguish him from an ordinary fisherman based solely on these small details.

The appearance of this stranger, Uchiha Kakuzan, also aroused Kojima's vigilance. Moreover, Uchiha Kakuzan did not conceal his identity as a Konoha ninja and directly wore his headband on his forehead.

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't try to hide it, because at this time, the appearance of any stranger, whether a ninja or not, would arouse the high vigilance of the rogue ninja Kojima Murao. Moreover, what came to the village was his shadow clone, so even if there was a trap, it wouldn't threaten him.

Uchiha Kakuzan can be described as highly skilled and daring. His current strength is not only among the best in Konoha, but also in the entire ninja world. Even if there are several Kage-level shinobi ganging up on him, he can escape unscathed, let alone traps.

When Uchiha Kakuzan's shadow clone locked his gaze on the villager on the beach, who was pretending to mend a fishing net, the villager froze, unable to maintain his pretense any longer. He dropped the net and ran into the nearby woods. Uchiha Kakuzan's shadow clone immediately activated his three-tomoe Sharingan and gave chase.

When the shadow clone arrived in the forest, Kojima no longer concealed his identity, having donned a Jonin vest and a ninja tool pouch at his waist. When he saw Uchiha Kakuyama's shadow clone also arrive in the forest, he could no longer contain himself and, on the verge of a breakdown, shouted:

"You still found me! Why? Why? I've hidden all this way, why can't you spare my life?" The villager's eyes were bloodshot, and he gripped a kunai tightly in his hand. His neck veins were bulging as he became agitated.

"Why did you even come? Just because he's from a ninja clan? Don't you know that he provoked me first? He provoked me first! I'm his teacher! Doesn't he know how to respect his teacher and show me any respect?"

Before Uchiha Kakuzan could say a word, Kojima Murao seemed to have finally found a place to vent his emotions. He became emotional and questioned Kojima Murao in a cathartic manner. By the end, Kojima Murao's eyes had reddened.

Chapter 30 Trap

Chapter Thirty: Trap

Uchiha Kakuyama patiently waited for Kojima to finish venting before speaking:

“I have already learned about you and your student. Even if he has done something wrong, you have many ways to deal with it. You can send him back, or give him a bad review. These will have a great impact on his future and be enough to make up for his provocation. You can also use your strength to teach him a lesson physically.”

At this point, Uchiha Kakuzan shook his head: "In the end, you're too extreme. Although he provoked you and made you very angry, it didn't reach the point where you should kill him directly."

After venting his anger, Kojima's emotions finally calmed down a bit. Hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, he didn't get angry: "You're also from a ninja clan, right? You're too naive. Do you know why he provoked me? It's because he looks down on me and thinks I can't do anything to him. Even if I send him back, his clan will still find him a ninja stronger than me to be his teacher."

"I can't hit him. If I do, plenty of people will stand up for him. So what if he gets a bad review? With his family's influence, it won't affect his promotion to Chunin or Jonin."

"Moreover, he would love for me to send him back. At worst, he'll graduate a year later, and then I'll assign him a better teacher."

At this point, Kojima's face contorted: "Don't any of you ninjas from ninja clans think about us commoners? Do you even know how I got here?"

“Unlike your clan’s ninjas, when we commoner ninjas graduate from the ninja academy, we are only taught the most basic Three Body Techniques. The teachers assigned to us are mostly Chunin from commoner backgrounds who don’t know many ninjutsu themselves and certainly won’t teach us for free.”

"My ninjutsu is all the result of my hard work and dedication in completing missions. I accumulated it little by little, improved it bit by bit, risked my life several times, and finally became a special jonin. If I can't even handle a kid who just graduated, how can I hold my head up?"

Uchiha Kakuzan fell silent upon hearing this. Compared to clan-affiliated ninjas like them, commoners like Kojima Kazuo had to work much harder to improve and climb the ranks, and they also had to be mindful of the attitudes of those clan ninjas.

This is also why Uchiha Kakuzan wanted to leave Konoha. With the disappearance of the Senju clan, the number and size of the Uchiha clan were also shrinking day by day. All matters, big and small, in Konoha were controlled by these families close to the Third Hokage. Especially during the Third Hokage's reign, the Sarutobi clan, belonging to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Shimura clan, belonging to Danzo Shimura, grew into behemoths in the village. These relationships and unspoken rules in the village made Konoha like a stagnant pool, faintly exuding a rotten stench.

If the Uchiha clan wants to develop, they must break away from Konoha. Even if the Uchiha clan manages to survive until the Fifth Hokage takes office, Tsunade, who comes from the Senju clan, will not have a very good attitude towards the Uchiha clan. Moreover, there are the old fogies in Konoha's advisory group causing trouble, so the Uchiha will not be able to live comfortably.

However, the mission still needs to be carried out. If he were to give up the mission based on just a few words from Kojima, then all those years of Uchiha Kakuzan's life would have been for nothing.

Although the villager on the island suffered injustice, where in the world is there justice? If there were justice, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have been wiped out in just a few years.

Once you've done something, you have to take responsibility for it. Since you did it, you have to bear the consequences.

Uchiha Kakuyama felt a little regretful. This islander was too extreme in his actions. Otherwise, he could have tried to win him over and make him work for him.

Unfortunately, even if you treat someone like that too well, he will turn around and bite you back. And he is not qualified to use 'Kotoamatsukami'.

Uchiha Kakuyama took two steps forward, just about to say something, hoping to get Kojima Man to give up resistance and obediently return to Konoha with him. At that moment, Kojima Man, who was not far ahead, suddenly changed his expression. His angry expression just now turned into a smug smile.

Uchiha Kakuzan's heart skipped a beat. Before he could react, the villager on the small island in front of him suddenly disappeared with a bang. At the same time, many steel wires appeared all around Uchiha Kakuzan as if they were a net, and they quickly wrapped around him. Moreover, there were many explosive tags on the steel wires.

Just as the steel wire was tied to Uchiha Kazuyama's body, a flash of light suddenly appeared on the wire, and then the explosive tag tied to Kazuyama with the wire exploded with a loud bang.

Not far from the woods, Uchiha Kakuyama rubbed his head helplessly. He hadn't expected that this islander was quite capable, setting a trap for him silently. Moreover, the timing of the explosive tag's detonation was also off; it exploded too quickly, and the shadow clone was killed before it could even break free of the wire.

Uchiha Kakuzan then created another shadow clone to send him there. It was fine; ever since he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, coupled with his exceptional mental strength (which was actually a benefit of his transmigration), his chakra was already abundant, so he didn't care about the small consumption of shadow clones.

At this moment, the villager on the small island in the woods looked very ugly. He did not expect that the dignified Uchiha clan ninja would be so cautious, sending a shadow clone to contact him.

That's right. When he discovered Uchiha Kakuyama, he already recognized him as a member of the Uchiha clan, since there was a clearly marked ping-pong paddle on his clothes.

Therefore, Kojima lured Uchiha Kazuyama into the trap he had set beforehand. He just didn't expect that the usually arrogant Uchiha would cautiously send a shadow clone to contact him, causing him to fail at the last minute.

Especially when he saw yet another identical figure walk in so confidently, the islander's face darkened even more, and he couldn't help but sneer:

"I never expected that the prestigious Uchiha clan would be such cowards, only knowing how to send in some shadow clones. Could it be that all those rumors about 'not being able to fight the Uchiha one-on-one' are false?"

Uchiha Kakuzan was not angered by Kojima's words, but instead looked at Kojima, who had reappeared and was standing on a horizontal tree trunk, and asked:

"What you just used was probably a lightning-attribute nature transformation, right? These are things that someone of your commoner background shouldn't have access to. So, you must be lying. You killed your disciple not just to vent your anger, right?"

Chapter 31 Lightning Armor

Chapter Thirty-One: Lightning Armor

Seeing the unpleasant expression on Kojima Murakami's face, Uchiha Kakuzan continued:

"The changes in the form and nature of these chakra attributes have always been a top secret of the village. Unless you reach the level of an elite Jonin, you cannot access this information. And unless you have made great contributions, the village will not teach you the training methods. Judging from your level and the missions you have done in the past, you have no way of getting access to them."

"So, you killed your disciple not just to vent your anger, but that was just a cover-up. His death should be related to the nature change of the lightning-attribute chakra you cultivated."

Uchiha Kakuzan noticed the abnormal speed of the explosive tags' explosions. Normally, unless there's a special technique involved, explosive tags wouldn't explode so quickly. From the unusual glimmer on the steel wire, Kakuzan deduced that Kojima Murabuchi had likely mastered the nature transformation of lightning-style chakra and reached a certain level; otherwise, the explosive tags wouldn't have detonated so rapidly.

What Uchiha Kakuzan didn't mention is that reaching a certain level in the nature and form transformations of chakra attributes is a prerequisite for developing bloodline limits. Of course, Kojima Murasaki's lightning nature transformation is still far from sufficient. Moreover, you need to be proficient in at least two nature transformations to have a chance of developing a bloodline limit. Only after developing a bloodline limit and integrating it into yourself can your descendants inherit it.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kakuyama suddenly realized that he needed to use his eye technique, the Copying Eye, to copy one or two practical bloodline limits and integrate them into himself as soon as possible, so as not to let down his sister Mikoto.

The villager on the small island, perched in the tree, looked even more grim. He hadn't expected Uchiha Kakuyama to have such keen observation skills. He had only revealed a slight aspect of his lightning-attribute nature transformation, accelerating the explosion of the explosive tags, and Uchiha Kakuyama had already detected it. It was as if he had kept his trump card perfectly hidden, yet before he could even use it, the enemy had deduced it from the slightest clue.

Since the Uchiha in front of him had noticed him, Kojima Murasaki no longer bothered to hide it. He tore apart the tattered clothes he had worn when he was disguised as a fisherman, leaving only his tactical vest on his upper body. Then, strands of bright blue lightning began to crackle on Kojima Murasaki's body, causing his not-so-short hair to float.

Upon seeing this, Uchiha Kakuzan's expression turned serious: "The Lightning Release Armor of the Raikage lineage of Raikage Village, although it is only in its first stage, is still a top secret in Raikage Village. How did you get your hands on it?"

Although Uchiha Kakuzan never saw the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor in real life, he did see it in the original work. The Raikage used this Lightning Release Armor, combined with his ninjutsu and taijutsu, to utterly defeat Sasuke, who had activated Susanoo. It can be said that this Lightning Release Armor is a fundamental ninjutsu of the Raikage lineage, on par with the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique and the Tsuchikage Onoki's Dust Release. It's unbelievable that a mere Special Jonin managed to obtain it.

Uchiha Kakuzan knew that things were getting complicated. Kojima Murasaki had actually mastered the Lightning Release Armor, and although he had only reached the first stage, his strength should now be at the level of an elite Jonin. What was even more troublesome was that the Lightning Release Armor was known for its speed and reaction speed. If Kojima Murasaki couldn't win and tried to escape, it would be difficult to stop him.

Of course, for Uchiha Kakuyama, it was only a little troublesome. The most important thing now was to keep Kojima Murasaki calm and prevent him from escaping. With this in mind, Uchiha Kakuyama's three-tomoe Sharingan slowly began to rotate, and he began to get serious.

When Kojima saw Uchiha Kakuzan's Sharingan turn, he burst into wild laughter, as if he were a completely different person from before.

"Oh, as expected of someone from the Uchiha clan, you're getting serious now, hahaha, so you're scared now. I never imagined that the secret technique my adorable disciple secretly took out from home to show off would be so powerful."

At this point, Kojima's face grew increasingly frantic: "I never expected my talent for this secret technique to be so high. Although my chakra nature is naturally lightning, I've never obtained any decent lightning-style ninjutsu. I never thought I was a genius at cultivating lightning-style. It's all your fault, it's all Konoha's fault for holding me back. If I had suitable lightning-style ninjutsu, I would have become a Jonin long ago, and I wouldn't have to work so hard on missions to get a few weak and ineffective ninjutsu that don't suit me at all."

"Ever since I killed that brat and stole this Lightning Release technique, I've learned the secrets of this world, the nature and form transformations of chakra, and what it means to progress by leaps and bounds. Given time, I will definitely become a Kage-level powerhouse and crush all of you who look down on me under your feet."

Hearing Kojima's classic villainous remarks, Uchiha Kakuzan was speechless, knowing that he had been feeling frustrated for too long and had finally turned the tables, which was why he lost control of his emotions.
