Naruto: My Sharingan is about to burst!

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage wrote down his instructions. Little did he know that he was also influenced by other things.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Uchiha Shisui headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory. Just as he was about to arrive, he suddenly turned and headed towards a secluded spot outside the village.

The Third Hokage's plans were progressing smoothly. To prevent any unforeseen complications, Uchiha Shisui decided to go to Shimura Danzo immediately. Once they dealt with Danzo, who harbored hatred towards the Uchiha clan and controlled Root, most of the problems would be solved.

The rest is up to Uchiha Kakuyama.

Chapter 8 Peak of Shadow Rank

Chapter Eight: Peak of Shadow Rank

Uchiha Kakuzan was unaware that Shisui had already dealt with the Third Hokage. He had just arrived at a residence in the Uchiha clan compound that was relatively close to the Uchiha clan ancestral temple.

This residence is much larger than the average Uchiha clan member's house, comparable to the residence of the Uchiha clan head. This is the residence of Uchiha Ryo, the great elder of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Kakuzan went directly into the courtyard and said loudly, "Is the Grand Elder resting? Uchiha Kakuzan has something to ask of me."

After a short while, Elder Uchiha Ryo's voice came from inside the house: "Qiu Shan, it's so late, what's the important matter? Come in and talk."

The elder elder admired Uchiha Kakuyama quite a bit. As a genius on par with Uchiha Shisui, although he was close to Shisui, his personality was not like Shisui's. He was ambitious and could be won over.

Uchiha Kakuzan opened the door and entered the room, where he saw a tall, white-haired, and vigorous old man sitting behind a low table, looking at him with a serious expression.

Uchiha Kikuyama nodded in acknowledgment: "Kikuyama greets the Grand Elder."

The elder nodded, gesturing for Uchiha Kakuyama to sit down. He poured him a cup of tea, then picked up his own teacup, took a sip, and finally spoke.

"What brings you here so late?"

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuzan calmly put down his teacup.

"Qiu Shan came here for the future of the Uchiha clan."

The elder understood the implication in Uchiha Kakuzan's words, and his previously relaxed face immediately tensed up.

"What, you also think that the current predicament of the Uchiha clan is related to me?"

"Yes, please forgive me, Elder, but I feel that the relationship between our Uchiha clan and the village is too tense right now. If this continues, something bad will happen sooner or later."

The First Elder chuckled twice expressionlessly, then dropped the subject and moved on to other matters.

"Qiu Shan, do you know how Konoha Village came to be?"

"Replying to the Elder, Qiu Shan knows a little about it. Initially, the village was jointly established by the Senju clan and our Uchiha clan. Later, the Hyuga, Sarutobi, Shimura and other clans joined us, and that's how Konoha Village gradually became what it is today."

The First Elder glanced at Uchiha Kakuyama with slight surprise, and sighed.

"You're very good. There aren't many young people like you who know history these days."

"Qiu Shan is just more interested in things from the past, so he knows more about them."

The elder ignored Uchiha Kakuzan and continued:

"Back then, Konoha Village was founded by our Uchiha ancestor, Uchiha Madara, leading the Uchiha clan, and the Senju clan, led by Senju Hashirama. Originally, Senju Hashirama wanted Madara to become the Hokage, but for some reason, Madara gave up, and that's how Senju Hashirama became the Hokage."

Later, Madara and the First Hokage had a falling out and fought a great battle at the Valley of the End. In the end, Madara was killed on the spot by the First Hokage. Not long after the First Hokage returned, he also passed away.

He was taken over by Tobirama Senju, the younger brother of the First Hokage, and became the Second Hokage. The Second Hokage believed that it was Madara-sama who caused the First Hokage to die young, so he targeted our Uchiha clan in every way.

You must understand, Konoha Village was founded by our Uchiha and Senju clans. Without us Uchiha, there would be no Konoha Village as we know it today. Look at these past few Hokage; they're all from the Senju lineage. Our Uchiha clan has no part in it at all.

At this point, the Grand Elder became very agitated, almost bursting with anger.

"So, you're unhappy about this and think that our Uchiha clan should be in charge of Konoha?"

The Grand Elder sighed, "I know it's impossible, but I can't swallow this anger. Look at them now, what are the Yuan Fei clan? A mere small clan, yet they've become the Hokage."

As he spoke, the elder slammed his hand on the table in anger, causing some tea to splash out of the teacup.

Looking at the elder with his hair and beard bristling in anger, Uchiha Kakuzan smiled helplessly. It seemed that he couldn't reason with the elder, and he had no choice but to resort to the last resort.

After the First Elder calmed down, Uchiha Kakuyama spoke.

"Elder, the reason I came to see you this time is not only to advise you, but mainly because my Sharingan has encountered some problems. As an elder of the Uchiha clan, you know more about it, so I would like to ask you to take a look."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kiyama's words, the First Elder put down his teacup and looked at Kiyama.

Uchiha Kakuzan activated his Sharingan and slowly activated it. The three tomoe in his eyes spun faster and faster, gradually transforming into the Mangekyou Sharingan with a four-cornered shuriken pattern, just like Uchiha Shisui's.

The First Elder stared at Uchiha Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan, his expression a mixture of dazedness, excitement, and disbelief. His right hand gripped the teacup tightly as he murmured, "It's finally appeared, it's finally appeared! The Mangekyou Sharingan of our Uchiha clan has finally appeared..."

As he spoke, the elder's eyes gradually welled up with tears.

Uchiha Kakuzan originally planned to use Kotoamatsukami directly on the Grand Elder, but he didn't expect the Grand Elder to be so excited when he saw his Mangekyou Sharingan. After thinking about it, Uchiha Kakuzan temporarily gave up using Kotoamatsukami and wanted to hear what the Grand Elder had to say.

After a long while, Elder Uchiha Rin finally recovered and chuckled self-deprecatingly:

"I'm getting old, I'm getting old, and I'm even crying now. I'm sorry to have made Qiu Shan laugh at me."

Uchiha Kakuyama asked his question:

"Why is the Grand Elder so agitated? Is it merely because of the strange change in my Sharingan?"

The First Elder, Uchiha Ryo, shook his head.

"Your Sharingan isn't a mutation, it's an evolution. It's a Sharingan of a higher level than the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, called the Mangekyou Sharingan. Do you know what possessing the Mangekyou Sharingan means?"

Although Uchiha Kakuzan knew in his heart, he couldn't say it because he couldn't explain where he found out. So he could only shake his head in agreement.

"Sigh, it's not your fault. It's been a long time since our Uchiha clan has produced a Mangekyou Sharingan. Moreover, since our ancestor, Uchiha Madara, was a renowned Mangekyou Sharingan user, our Uchiha clan doesn't promote the Mangekyou Sharingan within the clan. It's normal that you younger generation haven't heard of it."

"So, our ancestor, Uchiha Madara, was so powerful because of his Mangekyou Sharingan?"

The elder nodded. "That's partly true, but the reason why Uchiha Madara is so strong is not just because of the Mangekyou Sharingan, but also because he is Uchiha Madara."

"However, the Mangekyou Sharingan is also an extremely powerful bloodline limit. Once he awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, and given time to grow, he will become a peak Kage-level powerhouse."

"What about Madara Uchiha? Was he also a peak Kage-level shinobi?"

Chapter 9 The Uchiha Tradition

Chapter Nine: The Tradition of the Uchiha

"Lord Uchiha Madara? Lord Uchiha Madara certainly surpassed the Kage level. He was a super Kage level powerhouse on par with the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju." The elder's eyes held both reminiscence and pride.

"A Shadow-level powerhouse?"

"That's right. A being who surpasses the Kage level and can easily overpower a Kage-level expert is a Super Kage-level expert. In the history of our Uchiha clan, such individuals are extremely rare."

Hearing the elder speak so highly of Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Kakuyama pointed to himself.

"What about me? I've also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Does that mean I can reach the level of Lord Uchiha Madara?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, the First Elder seemed to snap out of a daze. He glanced at Kakuyama's Mangekyou Sharingan, and a relieved smile appeared on his usually stern face. He nodded and said:

"You definitely will, Qiu Shan. You're still young. Even Madara Uchiha didn't awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan at your age. As long as you work hard, you will definitely become the next Madara Uchiha, or even surpass him."

Uchiha Kakuzan knew that with the system's help, surpassing Uchiha Madara was only a matter of time, but hearing the elder's encouraging words still moved him deeply.

Elder Uchiha Rin sat at the table, his expression shifting several times as if he had remembered something. Finally, his face turned serious, and even his tone of voice became very solemn.

"Uchiha Kakuzan!"

Seeing the elder's expression, Uchiha Kakuzan knew it was a very important matter and dared not be careless. He immediately straightened up and his face became serious: "Yes, elder. What are your orders?"

The elder straightened his posture and said, "I, Uchiha Ryo, in the name of the Uchiha elder, assure you that from this day forward, as long as you do not betray the Uchiha clan, I will fully support you and do my utmost to help you become the head of the Uchiha clan." The elder spoke solemnly, enunciating each word clearly.

Uchiha Kagami was stunned by the elder's words. "I haven't even used 'Kotoamatsukami' yet! How did the elder become like this?"

Seeing Uchiha Kakuzan's surprised expression, the elder's lips curled into a slight smile.

"Qiu Shan, you still underestimate the Mangekyou Sharingan of our Uchiha clan. Do you know how precious the Mangekyou Sharingan of our Uchiha clan is? It is not only a symbol of strength, representing your potential to grow into a strong person, but also a symbol of the purity of our Uchiha clan's bloodline. As long as a clansman awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, it not only represents his talent and potential, but also represents that he is the person with the purest bloodline of our Uchiha clan."

Therefore, any clansman who can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan has the potential to compete for clan leadership and is destined to lead the clan to glory.

Uchiha Kakuzan was indeed somewhat surprised to hear the elder's words. Although he had read the original work, he knew nothing about the fact that the Uchiha clan had been wiped out by Uchiha Itachi and his men. Of course, the Uchiha clan was descended from the Sage of Six Paths and had gone through many trials and tribulations over the years. How could they not have left behind some things?

Uchiha Kakuyama took a moment to process the elder's words, and seeing the elder's expectant gaze, a thought struck him:

"Elder, what if I have a request? Can you fulfill it?"

The Grand Elder laughed heartily and said readily:

"Isn't it just about restraining the clansmen and reducing their conflicts with the village? Even if you didn't say it, I would have done it."

Seeing the puzzled look in Uchiha Kakuyama's eyes, the First Elder replied:

"Times have changed. Now that your Mangekyou Sharingan has just been awakened, your strength will experience a period of explosive growth. Moreover, the Mangekyou Sharingan is not as simple as you think. It not only increases your chakra reserves and observational abilities, but most importantly, each Mangekyou Sharingan contains a unique dojutsu. Compared to ninjutsu, Mangekyou dojutsu are either much more powerful or have unpredictable abilities. The most powerful dojutsu may even involve space and time. Without a powerful bloodline limit, you are completely helpless against such dojutsu."

Of course, the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques only guarantee you the upper hand when fighting against Kage-level opponents. Ultimately, it's about developing the divine power of the Mangekyou Sharingan—Susanoo.

At this point, Uchiha Kakuyama saw the elder's face full of fanaticism, as if Susanoo was his lifelong faith.

The elder looked at Uchiha Kakuyama:

"Susanoo, the ultimate Mangekyou Sharingan technique of the Uchiha clan. Back then, Madara developed Susanoo to the fourth stage, which was so advanced that he was able to contend with Hashirama Senju, who was known as the God of Shinobi."

Therefore, these past few years have been your period of explosive growth. In a few years, when you can skillfully use your eye techniques and have developed Susanoo to its limit, no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village will be able to rival you. That will be the time for our Uchiha clan to rise again.

Uchiha Kakuzan felt a pang of shame upon hearing the Elder's words. He hadn't expected the Elder to have such high expectations of him. It seemed he needed to work harder to quickly develop and master Susanoo so that his strength could achieve a qualitative leap. "You want to fight me? I'll pilot a Gundam without a second thought. Are you scared?"

Seeing the First Elder's attitude, Uchiha Kakuyama was relieved. The First Elder, Uchiha Ryo, had been unexpectedly won over. He not only gained his support but also saved himself a 'Kotoamatsukami'.

Now, it's time to visit the clan head, Fugaku Uchiha. As the head of the Uchiha clan and the father of Itachi and Sasuke, he must have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, so we must be extremely careful.

However, it seems that he didn't tell the Grand Elder about awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan. Otherwise, the Grand Elder would have supported him much earlier and wouldn't have opposed him.

······

After bidding farewell to the elder, Uchiha Kakuyama headed straight for the center of the clan's territory. As the clan head, Uchiha Fugaku naturally resided in the central location, and in the largest one at that.

The Uchiha clan's territory wasn't very large, and Uchiha Kakuyama quickly arrived at the clan head's residence. Because he had spent a bit too much time at the elder's place, it was already quite late when Uchiha Kakuyama reached his destination—the clan head's courtyard. There were no lights on in the courtyard, indicating that Uchiha Fugaku had already gone to bed.

"I'm not asleep yet, how can you be asleep!" Uchiha Kakuzan thought to himself.

Skillfully vaulting over the gate, Uchiha Kakuyama stood in the courtyard and said in a low voice:

"Clan leader, Uchiha Okayama has something to discuss with you. It is urgent, please forgive me."

Uchiha Okayama's performance began.

Chapter 10 Enslaving Uchiha Fugaku

Chapter Ten: Enslaving Uchiha Fugaku

Although Uchiha Kakuzan's voice wasn't loud, he believed that with Uchiha Fugaku's basic qualities as a Kage-level ninja, he would definitely be able to react and respond.

Uchiha Kakuzan only waited a short while before hearing Uchiha Fugaku's reply:
