Uchiha Kakuzan picked up the sake bottle and filled the elder's cup, saying as he poured, "I'm somewhat envious of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, but I can't kidnap their people. Moreover, only the main branch of the Hyuga clan has a flawless Byakugan, and their clan is too protective of the main branch. So I took a roundabout approach and went directly to the head of the Hyuga clan—Hyuga Hiashi—and told him that I wanted to get engaged to his daughter."

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, the elder looked at him with a strange expression and said, "If I remember correctly, Hyuga Hiashi's daughters are only a few years old at most. How could you do such a thing to someone so young? Or do you have such a penchant for it?"

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuyama quickly shook his head and denied it, saying, "How could that be? I simply want the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, it's not as perverse as you think."

The elder did not speak at this moment, but instead squinted and pondered.

Seeing that the elder was deep in thought, Uchiha Kakuyama remained silent and waited quietly.

Chapter 129 Obito Awakens

Chapter 129 Obito Awakens

After pondering for a long time, the elder finally said, "Actually, what you did was not wrong. The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is indeed much stronger than our Sharingan in terms of reconnaissance ability. I actually wanted to find an opportunity to tell you that the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is also within the scope of my suggestions."

"However, just as you said, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan's branch families all have flaws, while the Byakugan of the main family is closely watched. If you can get engaged to a legitimate daughter of the Hyuga clan, obtaining the Byakugan will indeed be a piece of cake for you."

"Moreover, our Uchiha clan is about to leave Konoha Village. At this time, it would indeed be beneficial to form an alliance with another clan in Konoha Village."

"The Hyuga clan, for example, doesn't have many high-level combatants, and their Byakugan is more of a support type, so they are basically no threat to the Hokage lineage."

Uchiha Kakuzan was surprised that the Grand Elder would support his decision and consider all aspects of it. Many of the things the Grand Elder considered were things that Uchiha had not thought of before, so he nodded repeatedly in agreement with the Grand Elder's words.

However, to Uchiha Kakuzan's surprise, the elder then changed the subject and asked him about finding a girlfriend within the Uchiha clan.

After taking another sip of wine, the elder smacked his lips in satisfaction, a slight blush creeping onto his face. Slightly tipsy, he said, "Qiu Shan, I don't care about your engagement to the Hyuga clan. But you should find a girl from our Uchiha clan. We're not old-fashioned; we're quite open-minded about these things."

Before Konoha Village existed, clans fought each other, and in order to increase the clan's population as quickly as possible, we all supported polygamy (one man with two or three wives). So, don't worry about what we think.

For the sake of the Uchiha clan's development, as a member of the Uchiha clan, and one with pure Uchiha blood, and so that the Uchiha clan can produce more geniuses capable of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, you must find a Uchiha wife to carry on your family line.

When Uchiha Kakuzan heard the elder bring up the old matter again, he couldn't help but roll his eyes and think to himself, "I already found someone, and she's pregnant. I just can't tell you, otherwise I'm afraid you'll chop me to pieces."

He replied perfunctorily, "Elder, as you know, I have a rather solitary personality. In our family, apart from you and Zhishui, I don't know anyone very well. How am I supposed to find someone? Why don't you find one for me?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, the elder seemed to have caught him red-handed, saying, "You said it yourself. I didn't force you. All the girls in our clan are incredibly beautiful, and quite a few secretly admire you. When I find one for you, don't make excuses. You must get along well with her and not bully her."

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuyama secretly rolled his eyes and replied perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, when you find me, I'll definitely treat you well."

After chatting with the elder for a while, Uchiha Kakuzan took his leave.

Next, Uchiha Kakuyama planned to ask the Third Hokage for a mission—a mission that required Tsunade to return to the village.

Because in less than three days, his eye technique 'Kotoamatsukami' will be off cooldown.

However, there's no rush. Tsunade can't run away anyway, so we can wait until after his engagement with Hinata is over before going.

While Uchiha Kakuzan was considering whether to go to Mikoto's place or to find Uzuki Yugao, something closely related to him happened in a place very far away.

In a dark and vast cave, Obito Uchiha, who had been unconscious for several days, finally woke up. Because Obito and his group did not have a medical ninja, especially one who could treat mental trauma.

Black and White Zetsu had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring Obito Uchiha to the Gedo Mazo to see if it could heal Obito's mental trauma.

After Black Zetsu connected Obito Uchiha with the Gedo Mazo, he finally managed to wake Obito from his coma after several days of treatment.

The Tsukuyomi eye technique is extremely damaging to the mind. Especially for someone with exceptionally high mental strength like Uchiha Kakuzan, Tsukuyomi in his hands is like adding wings to a tiger.

With his exceptional mental strength, he was able to maximize the damage from Tsukuyomi, unleashing extraordinary mental damage.

This is because Obito Uchiha already possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, which could alleviate some of the damage to his mental state. Furthermore, because Obito Uchiha had Hashirama Senju's Wood Release cells, which could nourish his Mangekyou Sharingan and also provide some nourishment to his injured mental state. Otherwise, it's unknown when Obito Uchiha would have been able to wake up.

After waiting for several days, just when Black and White Zetsu thought that the Gedo Mazo would have no effect on Obito Uchiha's injuries, Obito finally got up, clutching his head.

At this moment, Obito Uchiha had already taken off the mask that was meant to make him look mysterious. He covered his head with his hand and said, "Damn Uchiha Okayama."

After seeing that Obito Uchiha had finally woken up, White Zetsu cheered. You see, he had been cooped up in this empty cave for many days, only staying to watch over Obito Uchiha. Now that he saw Obito Uchiha had woken up, he cheered!

At this moment, Black Zetsu also came to Obito Uchiha's side and said, "You're finally awake. How are you? Are there any aftereffects?" He wasn't concerned about Obito's health, but rather wanted to obtain some information about Uchiha Kagakuzan through Obito's physical reactions.

Obito Uchiha didn't answer his question. Instead, he looked around and realized he was back in the same old place. He chuckled to himself and saw the Gedo Mazo behind him, along with the pipe extending from the Gedo Mazo.

Obito touched the tube connected to the Gedo Mazo behind him, recalling Madara Uchiha from the past, and then with a forceful pull, he ripped the tube off.

Then, Obito Uchiha stood up unsteadily, rubbed his throbbing head, and said in a low voice, "I underestimated this Uchiha Kakuyama. I didn't expect this guy to be so well hidden. Judging from his strength, he should have already reached the peak of Kage level, right?"

Black Zetsu nodded in agreement upon hearing Obito Uchiha's words and comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. The reason you failed so easily this time is because you accidentally fell into his trap."

Chapter 130 Obito's Dual Kamui

Chapter 130 Obito's Dual Kamui

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's words, Obito Uchiha shook his head and said, "It's not just because I was careless. The main reason is that this suddenly appearing Uchiha Kakuzan is too strong, and his Mangekyou Sharingan has a restraining effect on me, which is why he was able to overwhelm me."

"I almost didn't make it back this time, and I only managed to get some information from Uchiha Kakuyama. I only know that one of his eye techniques is related to space, but I don't know what the specific ability is. The eye technique used on me should be a genjutsu type eye technique. It directly pulled my spirit into a genjutsu space and tormented me for three days and three nights. It not only almost broke my spirit, but it also fed back to my body in the end. It was a double torment of spirit and body."

Standing to the side, Black Zetsu, upon hearing Obito Uchiha's description, said, "Then you probably can't fight against Uchiha Kakuzan now, let alone annihilate the Uchiha clan under Kakuzan's command." After saying that, Black Zetsu shook his head regretfully.

When Obito Uchiha heard Black Zetsu's words, his face turned even uglier. Although he didn't want to admit that Uchiha Kakuzan was much stronger than him, it was an undeniable fact. In fact, Obito Uchiha was already trembling at the thought of having to face Uchiha Kakuzan again in the future, let alone the thought of wiping out the Uchiha clan.

At this moment, White Zetsu, who was sitting to the side bored, suddenly interjected, "Obito, Obito, why don't you try to ambush that Uchiha Kakuzan and take him into the Kamui dimension when he's not paying attention? That way, he'll be in our hands."

Upon hearing White Zetsu's words, Obito Uchiha's eyes, which had been somewhat dim, suddenly brightened. Then, as if he had thought of something, they dimmed again. He explained to White Zetsu, "My Kamui dimension can only hold him when I can touch him or be very close to him. Moreover, when I hold him in, my body also materializes. During that time, it would be extremely easy for him to kill me."

Obito Uchiha paused, then added, "Furthermore, he should also possess a space-time jutsu. Although I don't know what kind of ability it is, my Kamui dimension might not be able to trap him. He also has a third-stage Susanoo, and his control over Susanoo is effortless. The full-body armor he was wearing when we met him that night was actually a miniaturized version of Susanoo that Obito Uchiha had put on his body."

Upon hearing Obito Uchiha's words, White Zetsu exclaimed, "This won't work, that won't work, so what should we do? Are we just going to give up?"

Meanwhile, Black Zetsu, who was standing to the side, had a slight thought when he heard about Susanoo. While White Zetsu was shouting loudly, he said to Obito Uchiha in a somewhat subtle tone, "Obito, don't forget, you also have Susanoo."

Obito Uchiha, who was suffering from a headache, immediately stiffened upon hearing Black Zetsu's words, and even the expression on his face froze.

Seeing that Obito Uchiha remained silent, Black Zetsu continued, "Obito, don't forget, when Madara Uchiha was teaching you, he said more than once that the Mangekyou Sharingan can only unleash its full power when it is intact."

"If you retrieve your eye, I believe your Susanoo will be no less powerful than that of Uchiha Kakuzan, and the dojutsu of your other eye is very likely a space-time jutsu. At that time, you will not only gain a space-time dojutsu, but the power of your eye's dojutsu should also be much greater when the Mangekyou Sharingan is complete."

When Obito Uchiha heard Black Zetsu's words, he stood there like a statue, motionless for a long time. Obito Uchiha had actually been avoiding the question Black Zetsu had asked, and he knew in his heart that what Black Zetsu said was true.

However, his feelings for Kakashi were too complicated. So complicated that he could kill his master and mistress, who were very good to him, like a beast, but he always showed mercy to Kakashi. He was even unwilling to take back the Sharingan that he left for Kakashi. He knew that the Sharingan was very important to him, but for some reason, he preferred to leave it to Kakashi so that he could use it as an ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan, rather than secretly take it back.

It's important to understand that Obito Uchiha is currently far superior to Kakashi. Putting aside everything else, he's incredibly accurate when it comes to sneak attacks.

Seeing that Obito Uchiha remained silent, Black Zetsu knew he still wanted to leave that eye to Kakashi. Faced with such stubbornness, Black Zetsu could only sigh silently and offer a compromise: "We still have a few three-tomoe Sharingan left behind by Madara Uchiha. How about we secretly swap your eye for his?"

Black Zetsu paused, then continued, "You see, if your strength hasn't improved, we'll always have Uchiha Kakuyama as an enemy. Not only will our plans be impossible to carry out, but we've already offended him. If he keeps targeting us, we'll be in a very passive position. You see, Uchiha Kakuyama is younger than you, and he still has a lot of room for improvement. At that time, even Pain might not be his match."

After hearing Black Zetsu's words, Obito Uchiha remained silent for a long time. After letting out a heavy sigh, he said in a hoarse voice, "It is indeed time to reclaim my Sharingan. Black Zetsu, pick out a three-tomoe Sharingan that is good at copying from the collection left to us by Madara Uchiha. We can't go to Konoha Village for the time being. Have White Zetsu keep an eye on the gate of Konoha Village and see when Kakashi leaves the village for a mission. I will take advantage of the time he is away to exchange my eyes."

When Black Zetsu heard Obito Uchiha's instructions, including finding a copy of Kakashi's three-tomoe Sharingan, he couldn't help but feel speechless. Why not just give Kakashi a new Sharingan? Why go to such lengths to give him a copy? Is it because Kakashi has become known as "Copy Ninja Kakashi" these past few years using that Sharingan?

However, Black Zetsu was quite pleased that Obito Uchiha had finally relented, fearing that he might change his mind, and quickly agreed to Obito's request.

After they finished discussing, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu left, leaving Obito Uchiha to rest.

The Uchiha clan leader sat in the darkness for a long time, and a faint, complex sigh could be heard: "Kakashi..."

Chapter 131 Teaching Sasuke

Chapter 131 Teaching Sasuke

Just as things were coming to a close with Obito Uchiha, Uchiha Kazuyama arrived at Mikoto's house. Don't misunderstand, Kazuyama wasn't actually there to see Mikoto, since she's not feeling well. If Kazuyama wanted to do *that*, he could have gone to see Uzuki Yugao or Uzumaki Karin.

(It seems that Uzuki Yugao has already finished her vacation and reported to the Anbu. As for Uchiha Okayama, since he is now under the protection of the Third Hokage, he did not go. After all, the entire Anbu belongs to the Third Hokage, and he can decide who to rest.)

The main reason why Uchiha Kakuzan came to Mikoto's house was because Uchiha Sasuke was about to go to school. As Sasuke's teacher, if Kakuzan didn't teach Sasuke something useful and let him be bullied at school, it would be a disgrace to him as a teacher.

Therefore, while Sasuke was still away looking for Tsunade, Uchiha Kakuyama planned to give him some extra lessons and special training.

As the second male protagonist in the Naruto world, Sasuke Uchiha is really quite pitiful. Whether it's his family background, abilities, personality, or strength, he's completely there to highlight the first protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki.

In Uchiha Kakuzan's view, the main reason was that Uchiha Sasuke did not lay a good foundation in his youth. You should know that the Uchiha clan, as a powerful clan that has been passed down for thousands of years, has its own set of methods for raising its children. The beneficiaries of this method are Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui in the original work, and of course, Uchiha Kakuzan himself.

This is why the Uchiha clan produces so many geniuses; this method can quickly build a solid foundation, enhance your strength, and unlock your talents. Of course, when Uchiha Kakuzan was training, he was genuinely no match for Uchiha Shisui, and he wanted to conceal his abilities to avoid the night of the Uchiha clan's massacre.

Obito Uchiha only revealed his talent after awakening his Sharingan. Moreover, his talent was still somewhat inferior to that of Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so wary of Itachi Uchiha, who later joined the Akatsuki organization. It was entirely because Itachi Uchiha's talent was better than his and also countered him.

As for Uchiha Sasuke, he was a pitiful child. At the age when he was about to enter school, the people in the clan were restless and thinking about rebellion every day. Who would care about the child's affairs? Uchiha Fugaku was very satisfied with his eldest son's performance, so he could disregard his younger son. The reason he paid attention to him was because his mother, Uchiha Mikoto, was mediating between them.

Later, just when Sasuke Uchiha was in a period of rapid growth, laying the foundation and improving his strength, his entire clan was wiped out in an instant. His brother also ran away, leaving him all alone. At that time, who would care about him?

This resulted in Sasuke Uchiha having no one to teach him before graduation. He was relying on his past knowledge to maintain his number one position, and as a result, he only knew the Uchiha clan's throwing techniques and one Fire Release technique—Great Fireball Technique.

Therefore, Uchiha Kakuyama felt that as Uchiha Sasuke's teacher, he had a responsibility to lay this foundation for him and teach him some appropriate ninjutsu and secret techniques to avoid being at a disadvantage when he clashed with Uzumaki Naruto in the future.

When Sasuke Uchiha learned that his master, the strongest fighter in the Uchiha clan, was about to begin teaching him, he was incredibly excited.

······

Since Uchiha Kakuzan hadn't prepared a large-scale operation, he didn't even leave his house. Instead, he began teaching Uchiha Sasuke in Mikoto's courtyard.

Since they are currently in the foundational stage, he is only teaching Sasuke basic things, so he hasn't prohibited others from watching (the two little maids, Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Yoh, and Uchiha Mikoto).

Under the autumn sun, Uchiha Kakuyama and Uchiha Sasuke, one tall and one short, stood facing each other in the courtyard. Uchiha Kakuyama looked calm, while Sasuke's face was flushed with excitement.

Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Sasuke with a serious expression and said, "The three essential elements of a ninja are taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu. None of them can be missing. If you lack any one of them, your enemy will find a weakness and defeat or kill you."

Correspondingly, whether it's taijutsu, ninjutsu, or genjutsu, as long as you can master one of them to its limit and surpass everyone else, you can become a strongman in the ninja world and stand at the pinnacle of the entire ninja world.

Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Sasuke's eyes lit up as if he had already reached the pinnacle of the ninja world. He excitedly asked, "Master, Master, what about you? Which one are you good at?"

Upon hearing Sasuke's words, Uchiha Kakuzan coughed somewhat awkwardly: "Our Uchiha clan is a different story. In addition to the mainstream techniques like taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu, there are other schools, such as bloodline limits and secret techniques. These are only available to ninjas with special talents."

"Our Uchiha clan is a famous clan with a bloodline limit. The bloodline limit we possess is called the Sharingan."

As he spoke, Uchiha Kakuyama activated his Sharingan, revealing its three-tomoe form.

"With certain stimuli and the growth of chakra, members of our Uchiha clan will awaken the Sharingan. As their strength increases and the stimulation of battle intensifies, the Sharingan will evolve from a one-tomoe Sharingan to a three-tomoe Sharingan. Your brother, Uchiha Itachi, evolved his Sharingan to a three-tomoe Sharingan long ago. (Uchiha Kakuzan didn't tell Sasuke about the Mangekyou Sharingan, after all, he was still too young, and it wouldn't be good for him to be exposed to such things too early.)"

Just then, Uchiha Kakuzan suddenly raised his hand, pointed at Uchiha Izumi who was watching from a distance, and said, "Actually, Izumi is also a genius. Her Sharingan has already evolved to the three-tomoe stage. Am I right, Izumi?"

Uchiha Izumi hadn't expected that her mere presence here would lead to this whole affair. When she met the eyes of Uchiha Okayama Koba, she blushed slightly and whispered, "Yes, Okayama-sama."

After hearing Uchiha Izumi's answer, Uchiha Kakuyama nodded to her and then said to Sasuke, "Our Uchiha clan's Sharingan is the best fighting eye. As the level increases, it not only enhances observation ability but also amplifies the power of genjutsu and allows us to copy other people's ninjutsu. Therefore, compared to ordinary people, our Uchiha clan really has a great advantage."

Chapter 132 Secret Technique

Chapter 132 Secret Techniques

Looking at Sasuke's somewhat bewildered eyes, Uchiha Kakuyama knew that he still didn't quite understand. After all, he was still young and hadn't experienced any hardships.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kakuyama changed his approach: "Let me put it this way, regarding the reputation of our Uchiha clan in the ninja world, there's a saying: if you encounter someone from the Uchiha clan alone, you'd better run. If there are two of you, then you should separate, one in front and one behind, so that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can't unleash its power."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes lit up, and his expression became excited, showing a sense of honor and pride.

Seeing that Sasuke was getting a little cocky, Uchiha Kakuyama poured cold water on him: "Don't think this is a good thing. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Our Uchiha clan is so famous, which also means that whenever they encounter us on the battlefield, they will prioritize attacking our Uchiha clan members."

Therefore, in order to prevent the Uchiha clan's reputation from being tarnished, you must train diligently. Moreover, don't limit your vision to your class, school, or Konoha Village. You must have a long-term vision, avoid arrogance and complacency, and constantly challenge yourself and climb to the top. Only when you stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world can you be proud.

Sasuke Uchiha had never heard such words before. After hearing what Uchiha Kakuyama said, he was filled with enthusiasm and replied loudly, "Understood, Master."
