Konoha: You're letting me build up my bonds, but you're offending the entire ninja world.

Uchiha Itachi nominally inherited Shisui's will, but he found the magnanimity of his clan intolerable, so he possessed the black flame that burns away all sins, as well as the Tsukuyomi that embodies his beautiful dreams.

Gengetsu Shimura, however, had a mindset that was very different from everyone else's.

With the cheat code of the Bond System, he knew he would become the strongest in the world sooner or later.

At the same time, he is an outsider. Even though he has lived here for more than ten years, there is still a subtle sense of alienation between him and the world.

This allows him to always look down upon the masses of people in this world from a higher perspective.

Therefore, it is not surprising that a higher-dimensional world like Takamagahara could be awakened.

The pupil technique in both of his eyes can be called Takamagahara.

The left eye has a similar effect to Kamui, allowing him to become ethereal and enter a world that belongs only to him, isolating him from all attacks.

The activation speed is practically instantaneous, but if it's as fast as Madara Uchiha's Six Paths form, you still need to anticipate it.

Unlike Kamui, he can not only enter Takamagahara himself, but also summon the divine realm to descend upon the ninja world, creating a domain.

Within the domain, one can enhance their own strength, speed, and even ninjutsu, while also limiting the enemy's abilities by 20%.

The difference between the increase and the decrease is quite obvious.

The only pity is that this domain is centered on himself and is not very large, only about twenty meters in size.

I wonder if this range can be expanded as I become more familiar with the eye technique and my eye power increases.

As for the pupil technique in his right eye, Shimura Gengetsu prefers to call it the Pantheon.

As the abode of the gods, Takamagahara is large enough to contain the power of all the gods. If it were Shimura Gengetsu, it would be the ability to replicate eye techniques.

Whether it's Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, Kotoamatsukami, or Kagutsuchi, as long as he observes the process of its execution, he can copy it and manifest it in the palace of this Heavenly Fragrance Mountain, making it his ability.

The Tsukuyomi eye technique was learned from Itachi Uchiha, and he was already able to use it at this time.

Its power depends solely on his pupil power, not on the power generated during the copying process.

One of the two eye techniques is a life-saving skill with additional buffs, while the other is more comprehensive. If he copies enough of them, he will essentially possess all the eye techniques of the Kaleidoscope, greatly enriching his attack methods.

It is definitely the most unsolvable existence in the Mangekyou Sharingan.

unfortunately

After a moment of joy, Shimura Gengetsu sighed.

A massive amount of chakra surged from his body, quickly forming bones and muscles, and finally transforming into a sky-blue giant, standing tall like a demon god.

In the initial stage of Susanoo, a ribcage and a skeletal arm appear around the body; this is just the simplest application.

In the first stage, the skeleton continues to improve, forming a complete upper body skeleton, with further enhanced defense and attack power.

In the second stage, Susanoo evolved a physical body and armor, and also gained ranged attacks in addition to its fists, such as the Yasaka Magatama or the Ame no Makako Bow.

In the third stage, the armor evolves into the Karasu Tengu Armor, further enhancing its defense and attack power. At the same time, it awakens its exclusive weapons: Shimura Gengetsu's exclusive weapons are the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and the Gohei Nagatari.

The term "gohei" refers to the coins used during shrine rituals, with the tip of the coin shaped like a spiral.

Both weapons are powerful offensive weapons, completely disregarding defense.

In the fourth stage, Susanoo was finally able to stand up, but the Karasu Tengu armor disappeared. Similar to the second form, although it lacked the powerful defense and attack, it achieved a balance between speed and strength.

This is a height that ordinary kaleidoscopes cannot reach.

As for the fifth stage, it is the true third power, the complete form of Susanoo in the form of a war god. With a wave of its hand, it can change the landscape of the continent, making it impossible for mortals to even think of resisting.

That was an absolute crushing power, which only those of equal strength could match.

Shimura Gengetsu's current limit is the fourth stage. He is still far from being able to unlock the final Martial God form.

Although he opened his eyes, and it was the Eternal Eye that opened them, the kaleidoscope pattern became straight.

The so-called straight eye is actually the eternal eye; there is no such thing as a curved eye. Its characteristic is that the pattern of the eye is composed of two parts.

However, his pupil power was not trained to its limit and continued to grow under the nourishment of his blood and body.

It's like a wooden bucket suddenly rising a hundred meters, but the water inside is only ten meters deep, and you have to keep adding water until the bucket is completely full.

"Take your time, it won't make a difference if we take a little more time."

Gengetsu Shimura wandered around Takamagahara for a while before returning to his room, where he soon fell asleep.

The news of the Uchiha clan's massacre could not be concealed for long. Soon, after the higher-ups reached a consensus, the news was released.

All the Jonin members in the village, except for Gengetsu Shimura, were summoned to the Hokage Building.

In Hiruzen Sarutobi, Itachi Uchiha was declared Konoha's newest S-rank rogue ninja, placing all the blame on him.

As for the masked man, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't tell so many people his thoughts.

For no other reason than that he could control the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage, and the existence of the masked man was top secret.

The various ninja clans had different thoughts. Hiashi Hyuga, who was sitting in the front, lowered his head, his Byakugan eyes filled with horror.

He thought of his previous conversation with Gengetsu Shimura.

Hiashi Hyuga initially thought the village would intensify its efforts against the Uchiha clan, but he never expected them to go to such extremes...

No, it should be said that Itachi Uchiha was too ruthless. Hiashi Hyuga believed that the village must have played a dishonorable role last night, but without this guide, it would not have been possible to remain so quiet.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's original plan was to push Danzo, Root, and Gengetsu Shimura out to share the firepower, in order to appease the major ninja clans under the guise of disbanding Root and prevent them from thinking too much.

But he can't do that now.

Having mastered Dust Release, Scorch Release, and Flying Thunder God Technique, and possessing the immense chakra of the Senju bloodline, Shimura Gengetsu's intimidation power is at its peak, and Konoha is currently at its most vulnerable.

Just as Xuan Yue said before, if he betrays the village today, the other ninja villages will pounce on him like dogs smelling meat and tear him apart.

Therefore, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only put the cake left over after the Uchiha clan's massacre on the table and share it with the various ninja clans.

After a series of exchanges of benefits, at least on the surface, no one was still bothered by the destruction of the Uchiha clan; everyone was immersed in the joy of the clan gaining many more assets.

Meanwhile, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the intelligence chief of the security department, was also brought over, and some of the Ino-Shika-Cho members were assigned to the position, with his own people filling the remaining vacancies.

Although the Garrison Command is a hot potato, it still wields considerable power. As long as he doesn't monopolize everything, he's making a profit no matter how you look at it.

But the Third Hokage didn't feel much relief.

He had absolutely no leverage to contend with Gengetsu Shimura, and no matter how many benefits he received, he still felt insecure.

We must bring out someone who can compete with the other side.

After resting in the village for a day, Shimura Gengetsu took on a border patrol mission the next day and left the village to go to the base where Uchiha Shisui was located.

Taking care of dozens of unconscious people is quite difficult. When Shimura Gengetsu arrived, Uchiha Shisui was feeding them nutrient solution one by one.

Gengetsu Shimura waved his hand, "No need, just wake them all up."

After saying that, he tossed another small bottle over.

"This is... never mind, I can't tell which elder it belongs to, but anyway it's a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan, you can put it on yourself."

Without hesitation, Zhi Shui gouged out his two eyeballs and replaced them with new ones.

Gengetsu Shimura reached out and used his Palm Healing Technique to heal the wound, and it quickly and perfectly merged with his new body.

Perhaps because he has Uchiha blood, his eyes are different from Kakashi's; they can open and close on their own, as if those two eyes originally belonged to him.

"Can you still activate the Kaleidoscope?" Gengetsu Shimura asked curiously.

Uchiha Shisui tried it and shook his head regretfully, "It's not possible yet. Three tomoe is my limit."

But he quickly rallied, his eyes still filled with anticipation. "But who knows what the future holds? If I get another shock... like killing Itachi with my own hands, maybe I'll succeed?"

Gengetsu Shimura's lips twitched.

After the night of the massacre, Uchiha Shisui was like a completely different person. The more he loved Itachi before, the more he wanted to kill him now.

This is no longer a hint; it's a blatant declaration.

"Let's talk about it later. Let's wake them up first; we have to leave soon."

Shisui nodded, formed a hand seal, and soon those who had been unconscious woke up.

After a brief period of confusion, they regained their senses, but seemed still immersed in the nightmare of the night of their annihilation, repeatedly uttering the name of one person.

"Itachi Uchiha!"

The resentment in his voice was enough to give anyone goosebumps, and many people shed tears of blood.

Uchiha Shisui clenched his fists tightly, his grief rising within him, but he still forced himself to step forward and make his clansmen understand their predicament.

Ten minutes later, everyone quieted down and looked at Shimura Gengetsu, who was sitting at a table.

Gengetsu Shimura swung his legs, looking relaxed, as if he couldn't empathize with these people at all.

But that's actually normal. Empathy is the biggest lie in the world. You can never truly understand someone's feelings if you haven't experienced it yourself.

"As expected of the Uchiha clan, they were able to calm down and listen to me in such a short time."

Shimura Gengetsu spoke, his gaze sweeping over the forty-odd people, meeting their eyes one by one.

"Everything that Senior Shisui just said is basically true, but there is one thing I want to add."

"The original plan of the Uchiha leadership was to instigate a rebellion. Itachi slaughtered the entire clan at the urging of my grandfather, Danzo Shimura."

Uchiha Shisui's expression changed. He had deliberately omitted this part to prevent the Uchiha clan members from hating Shimura Gengetsu and seeking their own death.

Why did Xuan Yue say it out loud?
