After the two entered the Takamagahara space, Uchiha Kakuyama glanced around and saw that although the hundreds of newly arrived Uchiha clansmen were whispering among themselves, they were all well-behaved and did not run around recklessly.
When the Grand Elder arrived, he looked around and was startled. The surroundings were completely different from what he had seen before.
It turned out that these hundreds of people were in a huge, enclosed space, surrounded by thick wooden planks on all sides, above and below, and the torches placed on the surrounding walls were the only source of light.
The elder looked around and whispered in Uchiha Kakuyama's ear, "What are you up to, kid? Where is this?"
Seeing that the Grand Elder was also startled, Uchiha Kakuyama chuckled and explained to him, "Grand Elder, don't worry, we're still on the original island. This is a sealed wooden house I built last night using Wood Release, specifically for transferring large numbers of clansmen. As you know, this island is my trump card for survival. The less we expose it, the better, so the clansmen will only think it's a transit point for a space-time ninjutsu and won't suspect that we're in another dimension."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, the elder nodded approvingly: "You did very well. It's true that you put your heart into coming up with this method. When you're navigating the ninja world, you have to keep some trump cards up your sleeve. Otherwise, once your enemies figure out all your trump cards, you won't be far from death."
Uchiha Kakuzan was somewhat pleased to see that the Grand Elder had also agreed with his plan. It was worth it for him to have sacrificed a little rest the night before to prepare such a place.
Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Kakuyama brought the Grand Elder to Uzushima Island.
Meanwhile, on Uchiha Island, Fugaku and his group, who had been notified in advance, were already there to greet them.
However, Fugaku Uchiha was unaware that the Grand Elder had also come. Upon seeing the Grand Elder, he was startled and quickly approached, asking, "Grand Elder, what brings you here?"
After all, the First Elder had always been stationed in the clan's territory in Konoha Village. This time, he came without even giving notice, which made Fugaku Uchiha think that something had happened in the clan's territory.
At this moment, the elder pulled Uchiha Fugaku aside and began a private reprimand. After all, Uchiha Fugaku was also the clan head, and his face had to be taken into consideration. Moreover, with his wife pregnant, he was able to leave his wife behind and lead the clan to expand their territory here. Although his methods were not advisable, his spirit was commendable.
The elder was unaware that Fugaku Uchiha was also forced into this situation, which was commendable, considering that he hadn't touched his wife for many years and didn't know that she was pregnant.
Just as Uchiha Fugaku was pulled aside by the elder, Uchiha Kakuzan glanced at him guiltily, then greeted Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, and the others who were waiting nearby. He then went to the open space and moved all the clansmen out of the Takamagahara space.
After evacuating all the clan members, Uchiha Kakuzan glanced at the elder and Uchiha Fugaku, their eyes meeting. Kakuzan smiled awkwardly and quickly went to catch up with Uchiha Shisui.
The clansmen who had just been transferred from Uchiha Kagami were deeply shocked when they saw the surrounding environment and the distant sea.
After all, these people had basically never traveled far from home, let alone seen the sea, and they were all awestruck by its vastness.
They were only notified to gather at the Nanga Shrine to build a new clan territory. Little did they know that in the blink of an eye, they would be sent to this island and see the legendary sea.
Chapter 92: Itachi Uchiha's Rewriting
Chapter 92 The Rewritten Uchiha Itachi
Uchiha Kakuyama approached Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi with a bright smile on his face. Before he could speak, he opened his arms and gave Uchiha Shisui a tight hug, then patted him hard on the back twice, as if he couldn't express his feelings otherwise.
Uchiha Shisui felt Uchiha Kakuzan's enthusiasm, and a genuine smile appeared on his usually calm face.
After all, geniuses are inherently lonely, and Uchiha Shisui was a genius. Therefore, he didn't have many true friends; Uchiha Itachi was one, and Uchiha Kakuzan was another. Moreover, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't betray his trust and expectations, saving him and the Uchiha clan from the abyss of death and annihilation. It's important to understand that Uchiha Shisui valued his clan more than his own life. The fact that Uchiha Kakuzan saved the entire Uchiha clan was enough to make Uchiha Shisui willing to die for him.
Therefore, although Uchiha Shisui did not say anything about Uchiha Kagami's arrival, he was genuinely happy.
Standing to the side, Itachi Uchiha watched them quietly. When he saw the two embracing, a slight smile appeared on his lips. These past few days, while Shisui Uchiha was on a mission exploring Uzushioka Island with him, he had told Itachi about what Uchiha Kakuyama had done, deeply moving Itachi. He hadn't expected that within the Uchiha clan, besides his respected elder brother Shisui, there was someone else quietly saving the Uchiha clan and successfully resolving the conflict between Itachi and the village.
After Shisui told him about Shisui's death and the Uchiha clan's extermination, he did suspect that Uchiha Kakuzan might have deceived Shisui and the others. However, whether it was the fact that Shisui never revealed his Mangekyou Sharingan, or that Itachi awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan through Shisui's death, or the way the Uchiha clan inferred their relationship and future from their attitude towards Konoha, it all showed that Uchiha Kakuzan truly had eyes that could see the future.
As for Itachi Uchiha's future, although Uchiha Kakuzan never said anything, as the eldest son of the Uchiha clan head and a genius of the Uchiha clan, it was clear that he was the absolute heir of the Uchiha clan, the kind of person who would succeed the clan head if he died. Since the Uchiha clan had been wiped out, Konoha would definitely not let him go. Itachi Uchiha's fate was either death or becoming a rogue ninja who fled Konoha.
Therefore, he was more than willing to let the Uchiha clan leave Konoha and move to Uzushima Island. This way, Shisui would not have died, the Uchiha clan would not have been wiped out, his parents would not have died, and his beloved younger brother Sasuke could have grown up healthy. He would also not have to be torn between the Uchiha clan and Konoha. Otherwise, he would inevitably have to betray one of the two groups he loved most in the end.
Moreover, the mysterious figure lurking in the shadows, spying on the Uchiha clan, will likely be put in a very passive position by the Uchiha clan's actions. Itachi Uchiha thought to himself, maintaining a high level of vigilance towards this mysterious figure he had discovered near the clan's territory—or rather, this mysterious figure who had deliberately allowed himself to be discovered. And for the Uchiha clan, who had arrived on Uzushima Island using space-time ninjutsu, to be discovered by him again would be no easy task.
Therefore, Itachi Uchiha now holds a very friendly attitude towards Uchiha Kazuyama. After all, Kazuyama saved his clan, his parents, Shisui, Sasuke, and his own fate. So, in Itachi's eyes, Kazuyama is someone he can entrust his life and hope to. Moreover, Kazuyama is now his younger brother Sasuke's teacher, which makes Itachi feel that his relationship with Kazuyama is very close.
After catching up with Shisui, Uchiha Kakuyama turned his attention to Uchiha Itachi beside him.
Under the morning sunlight, Shisui and Itachi Uchiha both looked travel-worn. Of course, they had been struggling on the island for more than a week without a proper rest or recuperation, so they naturally appeared somewhat tired.
However, although he appeared physically exhausted, he was full of energy. After resolving the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village, and after these days of labor and rehabilitation, Itachi Uchiha's gloomy aura had been completely dispelled, and he appeared warm, clean, and very comfortable.
Furthermore, the time Itachi spent living and eating with his clansmen on Uzushima Island allowed him to feel a sense of belonging, and the barriers between him and his clansmen gradually disappeared. This progress made Itachi genuinely happy.
Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Uchiha Kakuyama couldn't help but nod.
He had high expectations for Itachi Uchiha. Itachi was incredibly talented, and his battle intelligence was among the best in the entire ninja world. However, he carried too much on his shoulders, and in the later stages of his life, he developed a tendency towards world-weariness, which led to his early death. Otherwise, reaching the peak of Kage level, if not surpassing Kage level, would have been a piece of cake for him.
Uchiha Kakuzan decided to chat with Uchiha Itachi first to catch up before bringing up the matter of copying his eye techniques. After all, the eye techniques of the Mangekyou Sharingan are the reflection of the soul, and the creation of eye techniques is the desire deep in his heart. Therefore, having Uchiha Kakuzan copy his eye techniques is actually opening his heart to him, which is something that most people would not be willing to do.
Of course, Uchiha Kakuyama didn't know that he held a very high position in Uchiha Itachi's heart. Not to mention copying his eye techniques, as long as he was given a plausible reason, even if it meant taking off Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan and giving it to him, Uchiha Itachi would do it.
Uchiha Kakuyama looked at Uchiha Itachi with a smile and said, "Itachi, what do you think of this island I found? Not only is it large enough for our Uchiha clan to live on, but it is also rich in resources. Even if the clan members were to live in isolation and not have any contact with the outside world, they could absolutely be self-sufficient by hunting, gathering, and planting on the island."
Furthermore, you may not know this, but this island is surrounded by whirlpools and undercurrents, making it generally inaccessible to ordinary people. This is highly advantageous for the secrecy and development of our Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Itachi had been on this island for so long that he was familiar with its resources and distribution, so he was quite satisfied with the island that Uchiha Kakuyama had chosen.
Chapter 93 First Exploration of the Dawn Organization
Chapter Ninety-Three: First Exploration of the Akatsuki Organization
Upon hearing Uchiha Kyuuyama's question, Itachi paused for a moment, organized his thoughts, and respectfully replied, "In response to Lord Kyuuyama, Itachi sincerely admires the place you have chosen. This island, in terms of both seclusion and resources, is more than sufficient to meet the needs of our Uchiha clan's development, making it ideal for seclusion and self-cultivation."
Upon hearing Itachi's words, Uchiha Kakuyama smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be so formal. Let's call each other by our own names. From now on, just call me whatever you would call Shisui. From now on, just call me 'Big Brother'."
Itachi Uchiha was actually a person who followed the rules quite well. Although Uchiha Kōzan was only a few years older than him, Kōzan was a generation older than Itachi, both as the vice-clan leader and as Sasuke's teacher. Itachi also admired and respected Kōzan, which is why he called him "Lord Kōzan".
However, Itachi Uchiha was not a rigid person. He hesitated for only a moment before changing his mind and saying, "Okay, Brother Qiushan."
Uchiha Kakuzan was pleased to see Uchiha Itachi change his tune, because it meant that Uchiha Itachi also agreed with him to some extent. This not only increased the chance of copying Uchiha Itachi's eye technique, but it was also very beneficial to his future plans.
At this moment, Uchiha Kakuyama opened his mouth but didn't speak. Instead, he looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, "Don't resist. I'll take you to a place where there are no people, where it will be easier to talk to you."
As he spoke, Uchiha Kakuyama raised his arm and placed his hands on the shoulders of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi. Seeing that the two did not resist, he activated his eye technique and, through the spatial imprint he left on Uzushima Island, took the two to the cliff on the other side of Uzushima Island.
Uchiha Kakuyama released the two of them, took a few steps, and came to the edge of the cliff. Looking at the vast sea in the distance, he felt his heart and mind expand.
Here, the view is wide open, and they are not afraid of being overheard by others.
Uchiha Kakuzan turned around and said to Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, "Now, our Uchiha clan's plan to move out of Konoha Village can be considered to have been successfully completed. Next, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it won't be long before our entire Uchiha clan moves to this island."
Uchiha Kakuyama paused for a moment, then continued, "So, whether it's Shisui or you, Uchiha Itachi, as members of the Uchiha clan who have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, your strength has already reached the Kage level, and even among the Kage, you are among the best. If you continue to stay on Uzushima Island, busy with these trivial matters, it will not only not help improve your strength, but it will also be detrimental to your future development."
Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi nodded silently in agreement upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words. They had already eliminated the threat from Uzushima Island; keeping them around would be a waste of their talents. Ninjas, after all, are quite clear about their own role and value.
Seeing that they agreed with his point of view, Uchiha Kakuyama continued, "Therefore, in the name of the vice-head of the Uchiha clan, I am issuing you a mission, and I hope you will accept it and complete it excellently."
Uchiha Kakuyama paused, noticing the serious expressions on Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi's faces, and continued, "Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, I've received intelligence through clandestine channels. The former leader of Amegakure in the Land of Rain—Hanzo of the Salamander—has been killed. And the person who killed him is Pain, the leader of an organization called 'Akatsuki,' and this organization is far from simple. Their goal may be to collect the Tailed Beasts and rule the entire ninja world."
Furthermore, the leader of this organization is no ordinary person; his strength should have reached the Kage level, and the other members are all well-known rogue ninja in the ninja world. Therefore, I entrust you with investigating this organization and gathering intelligence on them. However, your own safety must be your top priority; do not take any risks.”
"Moreover, some of them are not only eyeing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha Village, but also our Uchiha clan."
At this point, Uchiha Kakuyama looked at Uchiha Itachi and asked, "Itachi, did you ever discover intruders on our Uchiha clan's territory?"
Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha immediately thought of the mysterious figure in the shadows and nodded, confirming, "I did indeed discover such a person. He was very mysterious and extremely powerful."
Uchiha Kakuyama nodded: "This person is a member of the Akatsuki organization. They've already set their sights on our Uchiha clan. Although we've moved to Uzushima Island and won't be easily found by them, nothing stays hidden forever. If we continue to hide on this island, they'll find us sooner or later."
Therefore, for the safety of both Konoha Village and our Uchiha clan, we must thoroughly investigate this organization. This will allow us to gain the upper hand.
After saying that, Uchiha Kakuyama looked into the eyes of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi and asked, "So, this mission is still very dangerous. Are you confident you can complete it?"
Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi looked at each other and nodded, saying, "No problem. For the sake of our Uchiha clan, we will definitely complete this mission."
In fact, part of the reason why Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were able to accept this mission was because of Konoha Village. After all, they grew up in the village and were educated in the Will of Fire. Although the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village had separated, it was normal for them to worry about Konoha Village.
Uchiha Kakuzan was well aware of this, but since he was now the de facto ruler of Konoha, he didn't think that Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi had betrayed him. Moreover, he had deliberately added the information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to increase their enthusiasm and attention to the mission.
Seeing that the two accepted the mission without hesitation, Uchiha Kakuyama's serious face broke into a smile. He instructed them, "The leader of the Akatsuki organization, Pain, is very strong. Moreover, most of the other members of this organization also possess Kage-level strength. Their abilities are all very strange and powerful. Therefore, when you enter Amegakure to investigate information, you must pay attention to your own safety and not be reckless, lest they notice you."
Seeing how much Uchiha Kakuyama valued this organization, Uchiha Shisui and the other man felt even more serious. They nodded to Uchiha Kakuyama, indicating that they would be careful.
Uchiha Kakuyama hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "I'll give you an insurance policy, so that no matter what, you can come back safely."
Chapter 94 Granting Spatial Imprint
Chapter Ninety-Four: Granting Spatial Imprints
Uchiha Kakuyama seemed to have made a great deal of determination before making this decision. After all, if he took such measures against Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, although it would protect them, it would also make them dependent on him, which would have a negative impact on their future development. He had high hopes for their future, and as long as they grew up, it would be a good thing for the future of the Uchiha clan.
However, Uchiha Kakuyama reconsidered. Only by surviving could they have a future. After all, even Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, didn't return alive after entering Amegakure. Although Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi had both awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and reached Kage-level strength, they were still inferior to Jiraiya in both strength and experience. Moreover, Uchiha Kakuyama believed that both Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi could overcome their dependence and truly grow stronger.
After Uchiha Kakuzan finished speaking, without offering any explanation, he directly activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Under the questioning gazes of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, he stretched out his hand in front of them and gently waved it, erasing the simplified spatial imprint that Uchiha Kakuzan had left on their foreheads.
Then, he extended his index finger and gently touched their foreheads, leaving a sky-blue mark—a complete spatial mark. The spatial mark flickered a few times before slowly fading away.
Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi touched their foreheads and felt something unusual. They vaguely sensed that this new spatial mark was different from the previous one, so they looked at Uchiha Kakuyama and waited for his explanation.
The spatial imprints that Uchiha Kakuzan gave to Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were the same as the spatial imprints he gave to Uchiha Mikoto. They could all enter his space through these spatial imprints. However, he changed the coordinates in their spatial imprints to the Kamui space that Uchiha Kakuzan had just obtained.
He wasn't stupid. Even if he wanted to leave some insurance for Uchiha Shisui and the other two, he wouldn't give them the spatial imprint of his Takamagahara space. After all, Takamagahara had always been his own backyard. He would only give the Takamagahara spatial imprint to someone he absolutely trusted (someone controlled by Kotoamatsukami), and he would never leave any security risks for himself.
Next, Uchiha Kakuzan gave Uchiha Shisui and the other a brief explanation of the spatial mark's abilities. For example, one could use chakra to regularly stimulate the spatial mark to transmit simple information to him (similar to Morse code), or one could directly enter his Kamui dimension through the spatial mark when their own life was threatened.
However, once inside the Kamui dimension, they cannot get out on their own. They can only wait inside, hoping that Uchiha Kakuzan will find time to come and take them out. Of course, to be more forceful, Uchiha Kakuzan could also release them directly from inside using his eye technique, Kamui.
Of course, there is one last function: when Uchiha Kakuzan encounters an emergency, he can summon them back regardless of what they are doing. However, Uchiha Kakuzan uses this function relatively little. After all, even if he, Uchiha Kakuzan, finds the enemy troublesome, summoning them back would probably not be of much use.
Only then did Uchiha Shisui and the other realize why they felt this spatial mark was different from the previous ones. It turned out that this spatial mark was connected to Uchiha Kakuyama's space, allowing them to have a way to save their lives when they encountered insurmountable danger.
After examining the spatial imprints on Shisui and Uchiha Kakuyama, he said with a serious expression, "The spatial imprints I left on you are only for last resort. Do not become dependent on them. Remember, true strength always relies on oneself."
When you develop a dependency mentality, it not only means that your path to becoming a strong person is over, but also that your mindset will change when you are doing tasks. You will let your guard down and give the enemy a chance to strike you deadly.
Therefore, I established a rule: anyone who returns via spatial imprint during a mission is automatically considered to have failed the mission and will be confined in the solitary confinement room for three days. Further punishments will then be determined based on the specific circumstances.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi realized the seriousness of the situation. They stood up straight, their faces hardening, and solemnly indicated that they understood.
After establishing these rules, Uchiha Kakuyama breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were both rare geniuses of the Uchiha clan. If we don't count their special abilities, even Uchiha Kakuyama would have to give them a wide berth.
Originally, the Uchiha clan, which had so many geniuses, should have been on the rise in this generation. However, after a series of unexpected events, they not only failed to rise but were wiped out, leaving only two or three members. In the end, only Uchiha Sasuke remained as the sole survivor.
Furthermore, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't quite understand Uchiha Sasuke's thinking. Sasuke, who had vowed to revitalize the Uchiha clan since childhood, why was he running around during a period of peace in the ninja world? Shouldn't he be busy having more children to increase the Uchiha population? And he only had one daughter and then stopped. Did he intend to leave the task of revitalizing the Uchiha clan to his daughter? What if his daughter got married and the Uchiha surname became extinct?
Uchiha Kakuyama shook his head, putting Uchiha Sasuke's matter out of his mind. Sasuke was still young and could be educated slowly. He needed to understand the benefits of having many children and take it upon himself to carry forward the Uchiha clan.
After all these matters were explained, Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Uchiha Shisui and asked, "Shisui, did you tell Itachi about my Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques?"
When Uchiha Shisui heard Uchiha Kakuyama ask this question, he immediately understood his intention, but still shook his head: "Without your permission, I will not leak your information to anyone, including Itachi."
When Uchiha Itachi heard what Uchiha Kakuyama and Uchiha Shisui said, he turned to look at them with a puzzled expression. After all, he also had the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye technique. Although he felt that this eye technique was very powerful and greatly improved his own strength, there was no need to keep it so secret.
Seeing Itachi's expression, Shisui didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Kazuyama, as if to ask if he needed to explain to Itachi, since he would need to tell Kazuyama when he copied Itachi's eye technique.
Chapter 95 Amaterasu VS Tsukuyomi
Chapter 95 Amaterasu VS Tsukuyomi
Seeing Shisui's expression, Uchiha Kakuyama understood what he meant and nodded, signaling Shisui to tell Uchiha Itachi the function of his eye technique.
With Uchiha Kakuzan's consent, Uchiha Shisui turned around and explained to Uchiha Itachi the effects of Kakuzan's two dojutsu—the Space-Time Rift (fake) and the Copying Eye.
Upon hearing Shisui's explanation, Itachi was also shocked. He hadn't expected Uchiha Kakuzan's two eye techniques to be so incredibly powerful. Compared to Kakuzan's, his own eye techniques paled in comparison. He also understood where Kakuzan's predictive abilities came from. After all, he had only known of Kakuzan's precognitive abilities from Shisui, and hadn't known he could see fragments of the future.
