Naruto: My Sharingan is about to burst!

After venting his anger, Kojima Murakami finally calmed down a bit, only to realize that Uchiha Kazuyama had been calmly watching him the whole time, as if watching a monkey jumping around. This discovery made him furious again, and a fierce look flashed across his face.

It's always like this. These guys from ninja clans always look down on him and look at him like that, as if he's a clown who's not worth taking seriously.

This time, I'll use my fists to shatter your disgusting expressions, to make you understand that I am not someone to be bullied, that I am a being more powerful than you, to make you take me seriously, to make you fear me, and to make me your eternal shadow and nightmare.

Thinking of this, Kojima could no longer hold back and decided to take action immediately to kill this annoying guy. He first threw two kunai at Uchiha Okayama to block his escape route, and then, with a kick of his back foot, he rushed forward at a speed much faster than that of an ordinary ninja, holding the kunai in his hand.

Uchiha Kakuzan shifted his body slightly and dodged the two kunai thrown at him. Because the Sharingan's dynamic vision is much stronger than that of ordinary eyes, although Uchiha Kakuzan's speed was far inferior to that of Kojima Murao, he could still barely hold his own against him with the help of the Sharingan.

Uchiha Kazuyama always dodged the kunai that Kojima Murakami swung at him by the narrowest of margins. For those that he couldn't dodge, he would use the kunai in his hand to block them. For a time, although Uchiha Kazuyama was at a disadvantage, he could still barely hold on.

Chapter 32 The Island of Whirlpools

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Island of Whirlpools

The Uchiha clan's bloodline limit itself does not enhance the physical body, and the Uchiha clan has never produced a strong person known for their physical strength, because they are simply not good at it. Moreover, since they can use ninjutsu and genjutsu, why would they bother to train in taijutsu, which is a thankless task?

As a typical Uchiha, Uchiha Kakuzan's taijutsu was also quite average. Therefore, when dealing with Kojima Murasaki, who possessed the Lightning Release Armor that greatly enhanced his taijutsu, Uchiha Kakuzan's taijutsu shortcomings were exposed. He could only barely manage to hold his own, rather than engaging in a back-and-forth battle.

Of course, Uchiha Kakuzan wouldn't be so foolish as to compare his own weaknesses with the enemy's strengths.

As Kojima Murao's attacks became more and more intense and faster, Uchiha Kakuzan gradually began to fall behind Kojima Murao's speed. It was the kind of situation where his eyes could see, but his body couldn't keep up.

As time went on, Kojima Murakami finally found an opening in Uchiha Kakuyama's defenses and casually slit his throat with a kunai.

With a loud bang, Uchiha Kazuyama's shadow clone disappeared. Kojima Murao, seeing Uchiha Kazuyama's shadow clone disappear, although he was prepared, still felt annoyed and spat out a mouthful of saliva to express his displeasure.

The villager on the island was now bursting with confidence, feeling that he could even crush a Jonin from the Uchiha clan. Not daring to confront his own strength directly, he couldn't help but taunt:

"Is this what a strong member of the Uchiha clan looks like? I wonder how you became a Jonin. Does our Hokage go easy on you clan ninjas, even when it comes to the standards of a Jonin?"

Just then, Uchiha Kakuyama finally slowly walked out. However, his eyes were not the three-tomoe Sharingan that Kojima Murasaki had just seen. Instead, they were a different kind of Sharingan that Kojima Murasaki had never seen before. They looked like a four-cornered windmill slowly turning. Seeing Uchiha Kakuyama's Sharingan, which was different from the ordinary Sharingan, Kojima Murasaki did not know what it was, but he felt a sense of panic.

As Uchiha Kakuzan slowly approached, his Mangekyou Sharingan gradually stopped spinning. As the Mangekyou Sharingan ceased spinning, wisps of bright blue lightning appeared on Uchiha Kakuzan's body.

Upon seeing the color on Uchiha Kakuzan's body that Kojima Murao was all too familiar with, Kojima Murao's pupils involuntarily contracted sharply. How could he not recognize it, because his own body was now flashing with the same bright blue lightning as Uchiha Kakuzan's.

The islander seemed to feel his worldview collapsing, his body seemingly uncontrollably retreating backward, muttering to himself, "This is impossible, this is impossible. I suffered so much to learn this secret technique, I practiced for so long, how could you have learned it just by glancing at it twice?"

As they were talking, suddenly, the villager on the island seemed to realize something, as if he had just woken up: "Illusion, illusion, this must be illusion. Your Uchiha clan is the best at illusion. You must have cast an illusion on me. What I am seeing must be an illusion."

At this point, the islander repeatedly formed hand seals, shouting, "Undo! Undo! Undo it for me!"

Suddenly, the villager on the island glared at him fiercely. "Since I can't break your illusion, then I'll take matters into my own hands and defeat you, you imposter who loves to play tricks on people."

As he spoke, the bright blue lightning on Kojima Murakami intensified, and he suddenly charged towards Uchiha Okayama.

Uchiha Kakuzan neither used his eye techniques nor his ninjutsu, but instead seemed eager to try his luck as the young man from Kojima charged towards him.

Just now, while Uchiha Kazuyama was fighting Kojima Murao with his shadow clone, he activated the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye technique, the Copying Eye. This was the first time Uchiha Kazuyama had used this eye technique since he obtained it, and it went unexpectedly smoothly. While Kojima Murao was fighting, the Copying Eye learned the secret technique Lightning Release Armor on his body, and even learned to use it according to his own physical condition, easily reaching the level that Kojima Murao had learned.

When Uchiha Kakuzan saw Kojima Murao rushing towards him, he also suddenly increased the output of his Lightning Release Armor Chakra, charging towards him with a much denser blue light than Kojima Murao.

Uchiha Kakuzan felt it clearly: ever since he put on the Lightning Release Armor, his reflexes had been greatly improved, and his speed had also increased significantly. Combined with the dynamic vision of his Sharingan, he could easily crush Kojima Murasaki who was charging at him.

Before Kojima could even exchange a few blows with him, the kunai in his hand was knocked away, and he was easily captured alive by Uchiha Kakuzan.

As for the current Kojima villager, since he has already seen his own Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Kakuzan can no longer release him or hand him over to the village. Moreover, Uchiha Kakuzan does not trust his character to take him under his command.

The entire Uchiha clan is now under the control of Uchiha Kakuyama, and he himself is not short of manpower.

Uchiha Kakuzan touched Kojima Murao's neck a few times, still hesitant to snap his neck and kill this somewhat talented man. Finally, he knocked Kojima Murao unconscious with a chop to the neck, locking him up for later. Besides, he had only learned the first stage of Lightning Release Armor, while the Raikage lineage's Lightning Release Armor had three stages. He wondered if Kojima Murao possessed any further secret techniques.

Through Takamagahara, Uchiha Kakuyama returned to the Uchiha clan's territory, leaving the unconscious Kojima Murakami to Uchiha Fugaku, who then imprisoned him in Uchiha's own secret prison, waiting for the cooldown period of his Kotoamatsukami to pass before returning to find him.

The mission was considered complete, but Uchiha Kakuzan's purpose for this trip was not yet fulfilled.

Uchiha Kakuzan found a cargo ship passing through the Land of Whirlpools at the seaside dock. After negotiations, the captain agreed to let him board the ship, considering that he was a ninja from Konoha.

On the ship, through conversation and inquiry, Uchiha Kakuyama learned that there were no ships going to the Land of Whirlpools at the coast. Although the island was large and had abundant resources, the route to the Land of Whirlpools was filled with unseen currents and whirlpools, making it dangerous for ships to approach, let alone reach the island. This is why it is called the Land of Whirlpools (formerly known as Whirlpool Island).

Moreover, after the destruction of the Uzumaki clan in the Land of Whirlpools, so many people died on the island that no one wanted to go there anymore. So, despite the island's large size, very few people actually settled there.

Chapter 33 Actions of all parties

Chapter Thirty-Three: Actions of All Parties

After two days of sailing, the merchant ship stopped some distance from Uzushima Island. Uchiha Kakuzan, on board, could see Uzushima Island in the distance; the island was quite large, appearing quite spacious even from a distance. After bidding farewell to the captain, Uchiha Kakuzan jumped off the ship and ran towards Uzushima Island, wading through the water.

Meanwhile, when Uchiha Kakuyama arrived at Uzushioka Island, undercurrents were swirling within Konoha Village.

In a secluded cave, Shimura Danzo sat silently on a stone chair carved from stone, motionless. The flickering light from the torches beside him illuminated his expressionless face, making it appear as if he were looking at a subordinate kneeling on the ground before him, listening to him report intelligence.

"Lord Danzo, we've already questioned those who teamed up with Uchiha Shisui and those he rescued during his missions. It's clear that Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan has indeed undergone a transformation, completely different from the ordinary three-tomoe pattern. Furthermore, both his observational skills and his ability to amplify genjutsu far surpass those of the ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan. Based on this comparison, we can confirm that Uchiha Shisui's eyes have evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan."

After reporting the intelligence, the Root ninja, kneeling on the ground, remained silent, motionless in his half-kneeling position, as if forgotten. The two people in the cave were momentarily silent; if it weren't for the flickering firelight within, they probably wouldn't have noticed the passage of time.

After a long while, Danzo slightly opened his eyes: "The Uchiha clan has finally produced the Mangekyou Sharingan again. Tobirama-sensei was right. The evil Uchiha clan does indeed possess power surpassing the three-tomoe Sharingan. It was because Madara Uchiha possessed this evil power that the Hokage died young. It seems that it is time to completely eradicate the Uchiha clan."

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office, an Anbu member was reporting: "Hokage-sama, Danzo's Root organization has been quite active lately, seemingly investigating Uchiha Shisui of the Uchiha clan. We wonder what Danzo intends to do. Should we investigate further? If we do, it might alert Root."

The Third Hokage sat behind his desk, quietly listening to his subordinates' report. He picked up his pipe, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

Danzo, have you realized it yet? Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan is still not hidden. Shisui is a supporter of my Will of Fire; I will protect him no matter what. Danzo, I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, am the Hokage. Don't cross the line.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage gripped his pipe tighter, took a deep drag, exhaled, and then gave the order:

"Investigate thoroughly, regardless of whether the Root will find out. Also, send a small team to secretly protect Uchiha Shisui, but do not follow Shisui into the Uchiha clan's territory."

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's order, the ANBU member standing in front of the table finally raised his head, revealing a face covered by a black mask. His headband was askew, obscuring one of his eyes. Only his silver-white hair revealed his identity—the genius of Konoha, the disciple of the Fourth Hokage, a genius ninja who became a Jonin at the young age of 12, Hatake Kakashi.

Kakashi Hatake can be considered a grand-disciple of the Third Hokage, and his father, Sakumo Hatake, was also a supporter of the Third Hokage. Therefore, Kakashi Hatake is a member of the Hokage lineage, a true and righteous one.

After Kakashi agreed, the Third Hokage, still somewhat worried, instructed him, "Kakashi, don't underestimate Shisui Uchiha just because he's from the Uchiha clan. He perfectly inherited the Will of Fire from Kagami Uchiha, the disciple of the Second Hokage and Tobirama. So, you need to be careful and not let Danzo ruin our promising young talent."

Upon hearing the Third Hokage's instructions, Kakashi understood the importance of Uchiha Shisui. After solemnly promising to complete the mission, he put on his fox mask and left using the Body Flicker Technique.

As the protagonist of this plan, Uchiha Shisui also noticed something was wrong. In addition to the fact that there were more people following him in the clan's territory, since he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, not only did his chakra and observation skills increase dramatically, but his intuition also became very sharp, possibly due to the increase in his mental strength.

Although the people following him were very professional and did not reveal themselves, Uchiha Shisui still keenly sensed them. Moreover, Shisui could feel that there were not just one or two new people around him, but at least a group of them. Furthermore, the chakra of this group was so gloomy and oppressive that it could be felt by those with keen senses.

Uchiha Shisui sensed that it must be one of Danzo's people. Only someone from Root, someone who has lost all emotion and is completely numb, could give off such a gloomy and somber feeling.

Uchiha Shisui guessed that Danzo would make his move against him within the next few days, so he didn't waste any time and, according to plan, immediately reported the matter to the clan head, Uchiha Fugaku. Upon receiving Shisui's notification, Fugaku immediately summoned Uchiha Mikoto and asked her to inform Uchiha Kakuyama.

Before leaving, Uchiha Kakuzan told Uchiha Fugaku that if he needed to contact him urgently, he could do so through Uchiha Mikoto, who knew how to quickly find and notify him.

Upon learning of this, Mikoto Uchiha realized the importance of the matter and, without delay, entered a secluded place and activated the spatial mark left by Uchiha Okayama on her forehead.

In just a moment, Mikoto Uchiha felt a slight dizziness and found herself on an island in the Takamagahara space.

Because the time in Takamagahara is different from the outside world, it was still night when Uchiha Mikoto entered.

Although it was night, the space wasn't completely dark; the sky glowed faintly, giving the entire area a gentle light. After entering, Uchiha Mikoto didn't wander off; she simply stood there quietly, waiting for Uchiha Okazan's arrival while admiring the island's beautiful scenery.

Uchiha Kakuzan had told her that if she needed to contact him urgently, she could activate the mark to enter the space, because this space was bound to his Sharingan, and he could sense if someone entered.

Just as Uchiha Mikoto was quietly admiring the beautiful scenery, a hand suddenly reached out from behind, tightly wrapping around her waist and pulling her close. At the same time, a warm breath gently blew against her ear, instantly raising goosebumps on her skin.

"Mikoto-nee, it's been a while. Have you missed me?"

Chapter 34 Human life matters

Chapter Thirty-Four: A Matter of Life and Death

Uchiha Mikoto's tense body immediately softened upon hearing this voice, allowing him to hold her tightly in his arms, a pleasant scent enveloping her.

Her once clear eyes closed slightly as Uchiha Mikoto leaned softly against Uchiha Okayama's chest, murmuring, "You've come."

Uchiha Kakuzan heard her words and whispered in her ear, "I sensed that Mikoto came in. There's no one here. How can I bear to leave my sister here waiting for me alone?"

As he spoke, Uchiha Kakuyama gently kissed Mikoto's earlobe.

After being kissed, Mikoto Uchiha's already weak body completely lost its strength and collapsed into Uchiha Okayama's arms.

Sensing Mikoto's affection, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't waste any more words. He released one arm from around Mikoto's waist and swept her up in a princess carry, heading towards a house not far away.

"It's perfect timing that Sister Meiqin is here. Let's take a look at my new house together and see if the quality is good. Let's test it out together."

Upon hearing Qiu Shanjun's words, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit. Realizing that if she didn't speak now, she would never have another chance, she hurriedly began to speak:

"Kyuu-kun, I've come here on business. Fugaku asked me to tell you that Danzo has taken notice of Uchiha Shisui, and he'll probably make his move in the next few days. He asked me to ask when you'll be able to go back."

Uchiha Kakuzan, who was carrying Mikoto, paused for a moment and asked, "Where is Shisui now? Is he in danger?"

Mikoto, nestled in Uchiha Okayama's arms, shook her little face. "Shisui is not in danger now. To prevent any accidents, Uchiha Fugaku told him not to leave the clan's territory for the time being. We'll talk about it when you get back."

Uchiha Kakuyama narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, Uchiha Shisui is not in mortal danger right now?"

Mikoto Uchiha nodded hesitantly: "Yes, Shisui is currently in the clan's territory and is not in any immediate danger."

Upon hearing Mikoto's answer, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded in satisfaction and continued carrying Mikoto toward the house.

"I understand. I have some things to take care of. Once I'm done, I'll take you back with me. Don't worry, it won't delay things."

"Huh? I still have things to do. Will it take a long time? Should I go back and tell Fugaku first?" Uchiha Mikoto asked hesitantly.

At this moment, Uchiha Kakuzan had already carried Mikoto into the house and closed the door behind him.

"Whether it takes long to get things done depends on your performance. I'm here, Mikoto-neechan." With that, Uchiha Kakuzan threw Mikoto onto the bed and pounced on her himself.

"Huh? Is that so?"

"What's wrong with this? This is a matter of life and death! By the way, Mikoto-nee, have you been feeling unwell lately? Have you felt nauseous?"

"How can it be so fast? Hmm, Qiu Shan-kun seems stronger than before, and his movements are more vigorous. Slow down, I can't take it anymore."

It should be said that the Lightning Release Armor is indeed the fundamental secret technique of the Raikage lineage. It can not only be used in battle to increase one's speed and reaction speed to kill enemies, but it can also be used as a body training technique to make one's physical body stronger. The Raikage relied on this secret technique to make his body able to contend with the Tailed Beasts, and finally, he was even able to suppress the Tailed Beasts.

Since obtaining this secret technique a few days ago, Uchiha Kakuzan has been practicing it in his spare time. Perhaps because Uchiha Kakuzan is still in his developmental stage, the effect is unexpectedly good.

In just a few days, Uchiha Kakuyama clearly felt significant changes in his body. Not only had his strength increased, but his physique had also become more robust, and his reaction speed had improved considerably. His appetite had also increased exponentially, at least doubling.

Moreover, this is only the beginning, and there have already been obvious changes. It is far from reaching the limit of this secret technique. The Raikage lineage relied on this secret technique to reach the Kage level with just their physical bodies.

Since no one was around to disturb her, Mikoto Uchiha was able to unleash her full power. As Uchiha Okayama charged at her, Mikoto responded fiercely, and the fight became a close and evenly matched contest.

In the end, because Uchiha Kakuzan had mastered a secret technique that greatly enhanced his physical abilities, Uchiha Mikoto's attempt ended in failure and she repeatedly begged for mercy.

After the two finished getting ready, Uchiha Kakuzan put his arm around Uchiha Mikoto and came out of the space.

The place where they appeared was the secluded bedroom in the clan head's house. After leaving, Uchiha Mikoto separated from Qiu Shan. After all, this was Uchiha Fugaku's house, and it was daytime. There were also people who frequently came to visit. If their relationship were discovered, it would not benefit anyone. Even if Uchiha Mikoto didn't consider Uchiha Fugaku, she had to consider her two sons.

After leaving his bedroom and saying goodbye to Mikoto, Uchiha Kakuzan went directly to the clan head's reception room. As he expected, Uchiha Fugaku and the First Elder were waiting for him there.

Upon seeing Uchiha Kazuyama return, Uchiha Fugaku and the First Elder did not exchange pleasantries with him. After Kazuyama settled down, the two briefly explained the current situation to him and waited for him to make a decision.

Uchiha Kakuyama listened intently to their words, sensing that things were still going according to plan. He calmly took a sip of tea and said, "Let's proceed as planned. Just let Shisui take on the mission as usual. I reckon that given Danzo's hostility towards the Uchiha, he'll be itching to act soon. As soon as Danzo makes a move, we'll immediately notify the heads of the various clans in the village, as well as the Third Hokage. Then, we can legitimately allow some of our clan members to leave Konoha."
