After young Sasuke completed his apprenticeship, Uchiha Kakuzan did not rush to train him. After all, he was still too young, and training and extracting chakra too early would not be good for his future development. It would not be too late to train him after Sasuke started school.

After everything was settled here, Uchiha Kazuyama and Uchiha Fugaku went to the home of the First Elder, Uchiha Ryo. As the two actual leaders of the Uchiha clan, they had to make proper arrangements for the relocation and resettlement of the clan's territory. It was impossible to move everything at once; it would have to be done in several stages.

The first team is responsible for selecting the location of the new clan's new territory, the surrounding environment, and clearing away wild animals. This team is more about quality than quantity. Currently, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi are essentially doing the same things as the first team, but they still don't have enough people, so they need to send others to assist them.

Chapter 48 Cultivating the Lightning Armor

Chapter Forty-Eight: Cultivating the Lightning Armor

The second group was responsible for the construction of the clan's territory, so they were mostly people skilled in Earth Release and with construction experience. Of course, it would be even better if there were people like Yamato who were skilled in Wood Release: Three Rooms and One Living Room Technique. Unfortunately, the Third Hokage would not release them. Besides, even if the Third Hokage released them, Uchiha Kakuzan would not use them. This would not only expose his own eye technique, Takamagahara, but also reveal the location of the new clan's territory.

Of course, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't expect to keep the Uchiha clan's new territory a secret forever. However, every extra day they could keep it a secret gave the Uchiha clan more time to prepare and build. Don't forget, behind the Uchiha clan's massacre, it wasn't just Shimura Danzo; Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu were also secretly eyeing it. Therefore, moving the clan's territory to an island was a way to isolate White Zetsu, who were skilled in Earth Release and Wood Release, as much as possible.

By the time the Uchiha clan is discovered, their territory should already be well-defended. As long as Pain isn't sent over for a 'Super Shinra Tensei', there shouldn't be much of a problem.

The third echelon consists of most of the clan members. Their main role is to carry a large amount of supplies and personnel to ensure the normal operation of the Uchiha clan.

Actually, there is a fourth echelon, which is responsible for cleaning up the mess. However, the Uchiha clan has not yet fallen out with Konoha, and there are still Uchiha children studying at the Ninja Academy. Therefore, it is necessary to leave some clan members in Konoha to maintain a superficial peace with the village.

Uchiha Kakuzan and Uchiha Fugaku came to the Elder's house to discuss and finalize the list of the first echelon. Since the Uchiha were previously responsible for the security of Konoha Village, the selection of personnel needed to be carefully made in order to ensure a peaceful handover of the security force and avoid causing trouble for the village and the Third Hokage, so as to prevent them from causing trouble for the Uchiha.

Actually, the people who discussed and finalized the list were mainly Uchiha Fugaku and the elder Uchiha Ryo. Although Uchiha Kazuyama was stronger than all of them combined, everyone has their own expertise, and in this aspect, Uchiha Kazuyama was still far behind.

While Fugaku Uchiha and the Grand Elder discussed various aspects of the matter, Uchiha Kakuzan listened listlessly, utterly bored and disillusioned. It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but as one of the Uchiha's top fighters with immense potential, both the Grand Elder and the clan head, Fugaku Uchiha, were intentionally or unintentionally nurturing him. Whether he liked it or not, as long as he learned more, he would always find a use for it in the future.

Don't assume that strength alone makes someone a leader. Take Naruto Uzumaki as an example. He was already the strongest person in the ninja world at the time, but why did Kakashi have to be Hokage for a few years first? It was during those years that Naruto was trained in every aspect to become a qualified Hokage.

After Uchiha Fugaku and the Grand Elder finalized the list, Uchiha Kakuzan could no longer bear it and hastily took his leave.

Uchiha Kakuzan understood that in this world, strength was paramount. As long as you could reach the level of the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara, everything else was secondary.

Therefore, his main focus now is to cultivate his physical body so that his physical strength can reach the minimum standard required for the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. With his already much stronger mental strength than others, and the surge in eye power and Yin attribute chakra due to copying multiple eye techniques, he will definitely complete the transformation into the Mangekyou Sharingan with ease.

Uchiha Kakuzan knew in his heart that there was actually an even simpler way to make his physical strength reach the required level and to transform his Mangekyou Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

That means finding Yamato and using the Eye of Copying to learn and copy Yamato's Wood Release. As the only Wood Release ninja in Konoha at this stage, even though his Wood Release is an incomplete version, the fact that his Wood Release can work against Naruto's Nine-Tails means that his Wood Release still has some of the essence of Hashirama Senju.

If Uchiha Kakuzan learned Yamato's Wood Release through the Copy Eye, meaning he mastered the incomplete Sage Body, the incomplete Sage Body wouldn't allow him to directly possess the Rinnegan. However, it would still enhance his physique and increase his vitality. Furthermore, the Wood Release chakra could facilitate the transformation of his Mangekyou Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, Uchiha Kakuzan did not intend to do so. Call him pretentious or foolish, he simply wanted to solidify his foundation and temper his will through arduous training so that he could go further. After all, his recent strength had come too easily, which could make him complacent and lose his vigilance and ambition.

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't go anywhere else, after all, no matter how secluded the place, it wasn't as safe as his own space. Moreover, as the owner of the space, even if Uchiha Mikoto came to the space through the spatial imprint, Uchiha Kakuzan would be able to sense it.

Uchiha Kagami trained on a flat rock at the highest point of the island, because it offered the most beautiful view of the island. Moreover, training his Lightning Release Armor on the rock was advantageous because the rock was non-conductive, allowing him to maximize the use of Lightning Release to stimulate all the cells in his body without worrying about the loss or depletion of Lightning Release chakra.

Ever since Uchiha Kakuzan obtained the first stage of the Lightning Release Armor from the rogue ninja Kojima Murasaki, he had never stopped training his body with the Lightning Release Armor. The origin of the Lightning Release Armor was later clarified through interrogation of Kojima Murasaki.

It was the student that Kojima Muramasa killed who secretly took it from his home. Because that student possessed a rare innate lightning chakra, his father had secretly mentioned it once to encourage him to train hard. This lightning armor technique was something his father had obtained by chance on the battlefield. He never expected that the student would secretly take it out and show it off in front of Kojima Muramasa, giving Kojima Muramasa an opportunity to kill him and steal his treasure.

In fact, his family still doesn't know that the family's Lightning Release Armor technique was secretly taken out. They only believe that a conflict led to Kojima killing his student. When Uchiha Kakuzan returned to the village to complete the mission, he also said that he couldn't find Kojima and suspected that Kojima had gone to sea and his whereabouts were unknown, which caused the mission to fail.

Uchiha Kakuyama easily reached the rock, took off his shirt and shoes, sat cross-legged on it, closed his eyes, and silently circulated his lightning chakra, converting it into tiny electric currents that continuously stimulated his body.

This kind of training not only requires talent, but also extraordinary endurance. After all, continuously stimulating the body's cells with electric current to make them stronger is an extremely painful process.

Tiny electric currents crackled and popped across Uchiha Kakuzan's body, while his muscles twitched and spasmed. Soon, sweat beaded on Kakuzan's face. After all, it wasn't just about the pain; he also had to concentrate to accurately direct the electric currents to the appropriate locations.

Chapter 49 Uchiha Kagakuyama's Fighting Power

Chapter 49 Uchiha Kagakuyama's Combat Strength

As Uchiha Kakuzan's training continued, the electric currents in his body increased, causing his body to tremble more violently. From a distance, the blinding currents looked as if he were wearing a bright blue suit of armor.

Uchiha Kakuzan stopped cultivating after two hours. It wasn't that he didn't want to cultivate anymore, but rather that continuing would damage his body, making it a losing proposition. His rudimentary medical ninjutsu was insufficient to repair the cellular damage caused by cultivation.

If Uchiha Kagami possessed a Sage Body like Hashirama Senju, or a Uzumaki Clan physique like Naruto Uzumaki, he wouldn't be troubled by this, since the Uchiha Clan bloodline doesn't enhance physical regeneration.

Alternatively, having a highly skilled medical ninja by his side, such as Tsunade or the bespectacled Pharmacist, could help Uchiha Kakuyama recover faster, allowing him to freely train in Lightning Release Armor and strengthen his body.

When Uchiha Kakuzan felt that stinging pain that seemed to come from deep within his body, he knew that his body was nearing its limit. He sighed silently and slowly stopped training.

Uchiha Kakuzan opened his eyes. After finishing his training, he silently admired the pleasant scenery before him, his face calm. Once his trembling body had recovered and he was sure his fighting strength hadn't decreased, Uchiha Kakuzan put on his clothes and teleported out through the spatial dimension.

The training was over, and it was time to eat. Ever since Uchiha Kakuzan used the Lightning Release Armor to train his body, his appetite had increased dramatically. He could eat the rations of four or five strong men. It was only because the people who ran restaurants in Konoha Village were so knowledgeable and used to seeing gluttonous ninjas like the Akimichi clan that they were left speechless. Otherwise, they would have been surrounded by onlookers long ago.

You can't go to the clan leader and elders' houses to freeload meals too often. If Uchiha Kakuzan went to someone else's house to freeload meals and ate whatever he wanted, he wouldn't be there to freeload, he would be there to overturn the table.

Uchiha Kakuzan visited Ichiraku Ramen, a famous tourist spot in Konoha Village, and ordered several extra-large portions of ramen. There was nothing good to eat in Konoha Village; the grilled meat was delicious, but Uchiha Kakuzan didn't have the money to eat there every day.

Seeing that Uchiha Kazuyama ate all the extra-large portions of ramen he ordered without batting an eye, even the well-traveled little girl Ayame was a bit astonished to see her favorite older brother eat so much. However, she was still concerned that he wasn't full, so when Uncle Ichiraku wasn't looking, she secretly added a lot of fried eggs and sausages to the bottom of Uchiha Kazuyama's bowl.

However, as his appetite increased, his physique also underwent some noticeable changes. Although Uchiha Kakuzan had only obtained the Lightning Release Armor and trained for a relatively short time, his physique was already visibly more robust than before.

If his previous physique was similar to that of the adult Itachi Uchiha, making him a typical agile ninja and genjutsu user, then now he is developing towards the physique of Might Guy. Of course, in terms of taijutsu, he is far inferior to Might Guy.

Moreover, Uchiha Kakuyama could sense that his body had caught the tail end of its growth spurt, and now, stimulated by the Lightning Release Armor, he felt a second growth spurt, and he vaguely felt that he had grown taller.

Since Uchiha Kakuzan didn't want to get involved in anything within the clan, whether it was creating a first-tier team list, arranging manpower to prepare supplies, or handing over positions and tasks to the security team, he would send a shadow clone to help and listen in if he really couldn't refuse. As a result, Uchiha Kakuzan's time suddenly became free.

He didn't need to manage the clan affairs himself; he could leave it to the Grand Elder and Fugaku Uchiha. Once they had gathered everyone, he could send them to Uzushima. As for the Third Hokage, it wasn't time for him to report yet.

Besides, even if I were to report on it, I believe I would only be a mascot, serving as a link between Konoha and the Uchiha clan.

The Uchiha clan in Konoha was someone the Third Hokage and Danzo Shimura had to be wary of, fearing they might rebel one day. Rest assured, as the most powerful clan in the ninja world, the Uchiha clan had the strength. Due to their Sharingan, a Jonin with the three-tomoe Sharingan, even if they weren't instantly killed, would easily overpower them.

However, now that the Uchiha clan has separated from Konoha, they are no longer an object of suspicion, but rather a powerful and noble family that needs to be won over. This is why Uchiha Kakuzan wanted the Uchiha to leave Konoha.

Although they had left Konoha, the number one ninja village in the ninja world, the Uchiha clan might face the same predicament as the Uzumaki clan before them. However, Uchiha Kagami believed more in his own strength. If anyone wanted to cause trouble, he would use his Susanoo to block their village entrance. If they didn't come out, then sorry, he would go inside to find them.

What? You've gathered tens of thousands of ninjas to besiege me, trying to wear me down like the Third Raikage did? Fine, I'll use the Takamagahara space to escape the battlefield and use my Susanoo to visit your village.

Do you really think that I, Uchiha Kakuzan, agreed to join the Anbu because I was afraid of the Third Hokage? It's not because I'm afraid of Konoha's bloodline limit and secret techniques. I haven't even had a chat with Yamato who knows Wood Release, nor have I had a chance to knock Kakashi unconscious and see his Kamui Sharingan.

I'm still waiting for the Third Hokage to be killed by Orochimaru so I can chat with the succeeding Fifth Hokage about our life ideals.

Therefore, given Uchiha Kakuzan's current strength, unless Madara Uchiha or the First Hokage Hashirama Senju are resurrected, no one can truly defeat him. Of course, Uchiha Kakuzan cannot reveal all his trump cards. Although his abilities are all very powerful, only his hidden trump cards are truly powerful.

As you can see, even the Akatsuki's immortal duo, whose abilities were quite abnormal and whose survival skills were extremely strong, were still managed to be eliminated after their trump cards were discovered.

Therefore, the best trump card is the one that is always hidden, and the best enemy is the one that is killed.

Since Uchiha Kakuzan awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he has been intentionally or unintentionally hiding his trump cards and eye techniques. Those who think they understand him now only know a limited part of him.

If others knew that his eye technique could copy and learn other people's bloodline limits and secret techniques, then his chances of success would drop to an absurd level, and he would also be ostracized by those bloodline limit families and ninjas skilled in secret techniques.

Chapter 50 Group Spatial Transfer

Chapter 50 Group Space Transfer

Therefore, only when Uchiha Kagakuzan stands at the pinnacle of the world through his own power, and no one can touch him, does he become unrestrained and arrogant.

He didn't become a Six Paths level being by relying on those few tailed beasts that could rebel at any time. Tailed beasts can only be pets and tools; it's utterly impossible to make them the foundation of one's power.

Don't forget, the Sage of Six Paths' chakra still circulates throughout the ninja world. Even now, he still has the ability to grant Naruto and Sasuke the power of a Six Paths level being.

Back then, he had separated all nine tailed beasts from the ten-tailed beast. Given the Sage of Six Paths's unparalleled scheming, it's hard to say whether he tampered with the nine tailed beasts.

Putting aside Hashirama Senju's Sage Body, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan had already forged its own path, rather than simply relying on the power that Indra received from the Sage of Six Paths.

······

Uchiha Kakuzan had a fairly fulfilling few days. During the day, he would create several shadow clones to help and learn from the elder and Uchiha Fugaku, while he himself would hide in his spatial dimension to practice the Lightning Release Armor. When he got tired of practicing, he would sneak out of the dimension and wander around Konoha Village looking for delicious food.

Since the Uchiha clan is about to move away, and even the security forces they've always held onto are gradually being transferred, neither the Hokage's faction nor any of the large or small clans in Konoha are bothering the Uchiha clan. Who knows whether their departure from Konoha was forced or voluntary? Provoking them at this time would only cause trouble for themselves.

Since being killed by Uchiha Kakuzan with a single strike from Susanoo, Shimura Danzo has not caused any more trouble and is expected to behave himself for a while.

So even though Uchiha Kakuzan wandered around the streets and alleys of Konoha Village looking for delicious food, he didn't encounter anyone who dared to cause trouble.

Uchiha Kakuzan stopped cultivating at night. He believed that a proper balance between work and rest could make cultivation more efficient. Instead, he would take out the books he had obtained from the Grand Elder and read them when he had nothing to do, just to pass the time and broaden his knowledge.

When the night is deep and quiet, Uchiha Kakuzan will summon Uchiha Mikoto into his space to discuss the meaning of life with her and, incidentally, contribute to the prosperity of the Uchiha clan.

Each time it takes half a day to make changes, but nothing else changes. However, Uchiha Kakuyama noticed that after these few days of pampering, Mikoto looked even more radiant and beautiful than before, with eyes that seemed to be able to drip water.

After several days of preparation, the Grand Elder and the Clan Chief finally had the first team of personnel and supplies ready.

On a bright and sunny morning, over a hundred Uchiha ninjas silently gathered at the Nanga Shrine of the Uchiha clan. Each of them was fully armed, tall and imposing, with resolute eyes.

They were all elites carefully selected by the Grand Elder and Fugaku Uchiha, because Uzushima Island had been abandoned for many years and was now full of wild beasts and dangers.

Therefore, the first batch of clansmen sent there must be those with top-notch combat power and experience.

In order to successfully complete this mission, the elder has selected only the elite, including many Jonin who hold important positions in the security force. Anyway, the security force is going to be handed over, so let it be a little chaotic now. The future of the Uchiha clan is more important.

Those who were selected for this operation were quite excited, because the elder and the clan head had told them that this operation was to pave the way for the relocation of the Uchiha clan.

The news that the Uchiha clan was leaving Konoha and moving away had already spread throughout the clan, and the entire clan cheered at the relocation. They weren't stupid; they had lived such a stifled life in Konoha all these years, and the villagers hadn't treated them like one of their own, even showing hostility towards them because of their duties as members of the security force.

As someone born into the Uchiha clan, the number one bloodline limit family in the ninja world, I also have my own pride. Now, all sorts of nobodies and scoundrels come to the Uchiha clan to seek their attention.

Since you don't welcome us, we disdain to associate with you. Our Uchiha clan has survived alone for thousands of years. Do we have to depend on you people who band together for warmth but fight each other?

Now they've finally escaped Konoha, a village that was a burden to the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha people are also holding a grudge; without you, the Uchiha clan will be better off.

Uchiha Kakuyama looked at the clansmen standing in neat rows before him. Their demeanor was cold yet silent. These were the elite of the Uchiha clan. With this size, they could walk around with impunity and wipe out a small ninja village with ease.

Uchiha Kakuyama looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who was standing at the front of the group, and asked again, "Clan leader, are you sure you want to lead the team yourself this time? You can wait for the second or third group to go over."

Fugaku Uchiha was also fully armed. After hearing Uchiha Kyuuyama's words of dissuasion, he shook his head: "This concerns the future of our Uchiha clan. I must go and see for myself before I can feel at ease. Kyuuyama, as the number one expert of our Uchiha clan and the vice-head of the Uchiha clan, you must shoulder your responsibilities. After I leave, the safety of the clan members here will be entrusted to you. Don't act impulsively, and consult with the elder more often."

Hearing what Fugaku Uchiha said, Uchiha Kakuyama was speechless. He didn't expect that after sending a shadow clone to follow the elder and the clan head to learn for a few days, he would be given the position of vice clan head. He understood that after all, he was now a top expert of the Uchiha clan. If his position or title was too low, it would not be fair to outsiders, and the clan members would not feel safe.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Kousan agreed. After Uchiha Fugaku had made all the arrangements, Kousan looked at the people standing neatly in front of him and gave them important instructions: "Relax completely and don't resist."

As he spoke, Uchiha Kyuuyama activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and all the chakra in his body surged wildly into the Sharingan, causing Kyuuyama's Mangekyou Sharingan to spin at high speed.

Eye Technique - Takamagahara, activated.

As Uchiha Okazan's Mangekyou Sharingan shifted its gaze, clan members vanished silently from the places it was looking at, leaving no trace. After a short while, more than a hundred people, including Uchiha Fugaku, were all transferred by Uchiha Okazan to an island in the Takamagahara space.

Chapter 51 The Uchiha Arrive at Uzushima

Chapter 51 The Uchiha Arrive at Uzushima Island

After insisting on transferring the last Uchiha clan member to the space, Uchiha Kakuzan immediately shut down his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Although the side effects of the Mangekyou Sharingan were greatly reduced by the system, there were still some adverse reactions when used extensively. This was the first time that Uchiha Kakuyama had used it on such a large scale, and he felt his eyes were extremely sore and his tears flowed uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the Mangekyou Sharingan has fewer side effects now. At least it's not like Itachi Uchiha in the later stages, whose eyes couldn't withstand even using Amaterasu and bled immediately afterward.

Uchiha Kakuzan rubbed his eyes, feeling the soreness subside considerably. He opened them and saw the First Elder standing beside him, looking at him with worried eyes. The clan leader was leading the clansmen to expand their territory, and as the First Elder, he naturally had to see them off.

When Uchiha Kakuyama saw the elder looking at him, he greeted him, "Elder."

The First Elder, Uchiha Ryo, looked at him with concern: "Although the Mangekyou Sharingan is useful and extremely powerful, it cannot be used excessively. The more you use it, the faster your vision will become blurred, eventually causing you to lose your sight and fall into eternal darkness."

The elder paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, you don't have any brothers. Even if you did, they might not be able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. So you must cherish and use your Mangekyou Sharingan."
