Chapter 483 Research on Sharingan and Moryo

The residence of the Uchiha clan chief.

Fugaku Uchiha and Taichi Matsushita knelt facing each other on either side of a coffee table.

Uchiha Itachi knelt in the middle of the coffee table, pouring tea for his father and teacher.

The room fell silent after Mikoto Uchiha left, and everyone was thinking about how to get to the point.

In the end, it was Fugaku, the father, who spoke first.

"Taiichi, you know about Itachi's situation. The clan was shocked by how he awakened his Sharingan. We need to understand whether this is an isolated case or if it can be repeated."

Fugaku, his face full of anticipation, stared intently at Taichi's facial expression, trying to find the clue he was looking for.

Taiyi reached out and picked up the teacup in front of him, taking a slow sip.

"Hmm, as expected of the Uchiha clan head's family; this tea is a rare delicacy."

Taiyi muttered to himself, put down his teacup, and pursed his lips.

"The tea is good."

"Uh—Taichi, if you like, I'll have Itachi give you some to take with you when you leave."

Fugaku's expression stiffened for a moment, but his good manners allowed him to quickly regain his composure.

Taiichi stopped hesitating and turned to look at Itachi, who had been quietly standing beside him. He nodded with certainty and said, "Itachi's method of awakening his Sharingan is not an isolated case, but a technique that can be repeated."

"Really?"

Fugaku's eyes widened, and he sat up a little straighter.

There's a reason why the Sharingan is called the "cursed eye" in the outside world.

From awakening to advancement, the Sharingan is almost always accompanied by tragedies, which also implicates the entire Uchiha clan, making them unpopular.

After all, not many Uchiha want their strength to increase significantly; they usually have to sacrifice their teammates or family members.

Even if these sacrifices are unavoidable in the course of a mission, the sacrifices will not disappear even if the Uchiha clan does not exist.

But who told you, the Uchiha, to benefit from it?

Human nature is inherently crooked; if you have something I don't, if you live I die, it's no wonder that people have prejudices against the Uchiha clan over time.

Now, the Sharingan has a new way of awakening and advancing, which will fundamentally change the current situation of the Uchiha clan.

"Nobody knows the Sharingan better than me right now!"

Taiichi's words were arrogant, but Fugaku really couldn't refute them.

He now knows that the only pair of Mangekyou Sharingan in the clan was saved from blindness thanks to someone else's treatment.

This is something that has never happened before in the history of the Uchiha clan.

He had found a record in his family history that the Mangekyou Sharingan's vision would deteriorate with increased use, eventually leading to permanent blindness.

Looking at Uchiha Yohei, from Fugaku's perspective, it seems Yohei never intended to use the Mangekyou Sharingan less.

In any battle of even moderate intensity, he would inevitably activate his Mangekyou Sharingan. If he encountered a stronger enemy, he would directly activate his Susanoo and fight.

That's not all. Fugaku witnessed it firsthand: Yohei was using Susanoo during training, euphemistically calling it "training the use of the Kaleidoscope."

It was around that time that Fugaku began to suspect that Yohei might have some secret method to prevent the Mangekyou Sharingan from going blind, since Yohei had no brothers or sisters who could exchange eyes to advance to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

It was then that Fugaku realized that Matsushita Taichi's medical ninjutsu had reached such a level that he was practically the savior of the Uchiha clan.

"The Sharingan, in essence, is a mutation caused by the special chakra produced by the brain under the Uchiha bloodline stimulating the eyeball."

Each advancement in its power is caused by this special chakra stimulating it again.

Since it's chakra, it's possible for it to be controlled.

At this point, Taiyi picked up his teacup again and took a sip of water to moisten his lips.

This made Fugaku Uchiha extremely anxious. He was at a crucial point in the story, how could you stop? But he could only watch helplessly, not daring to urge you on.

But isn't there a little guy right here?

Seeing Taichi put down his teacup, Itachi quickly refilled it, urging him on, "Sensei, what's next?"

His bright eyes were fixed on Taiichi, filled with a thirst for knowledge.

"You little rascal!"

Taiichi chuckled and scolded, then patted Itachi's head before continuing to explain his understanding.

"I examined Yangping and Itachi's bodies. This special chakra doesn't only appear when they are stimulated. When they are training, fighting, or even refining chakra in their daily lives, their brains will automatically synthesize this chakra. However, the amount is vastly different compared to when they are stimulated. So I summarized two methods."

Taiichi held up one finger to Fugaku.

"The first method does not rely on strong stimulation, but mainly uses the chakra that the brain usually synthesizes. This method is slow, but it has the advantage of a solid foundation."

However, this method relies heavily on physical training, and I've noticed that the Uchiha clan doesn't seem to prioritize taijutsu training, especially after awakening their Sharingan, where they become even less concerned with it.

Fugaku thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. Not to mention others, even he himself was only maintaining basic taijutsu training. Most of his efforts were focused on developing the Sharingan and studying ninjutsu.

After all, for the Uchiha clan, this is the fastest way to improve their strength; taijutsu training is far less efficient.

Fugaku pondered for a long time but could not make a choice. Everyone had different opinions on whether foundation or strength was more important. As the clan leader, he could not demand that his clansmen pay attention to one over the other.

Seeing Fugaku's expression, Taiichi knew what he was thinking without even having to guess.

He didn't offer much advice; cultivation was a personal matter. Even with Itachi, he only gave suggestions.

Thinking it over, Taiichi extended his second finger.

"Secondly, there are external stimuli. In fact, these stimuli are not limited to negative emotions; other emotions are also acceptable."

However, negative emotions are often more intense, more persistent, and more likely to have a stimulating effect on the Uchiha.

so----"

There's no need for Taichi to explain further; Fugaku Uchiha can figure out the answer himself.

This answer left Fugaku quite dissatisfied.

"Then—would there be any difference in power between Sharingan awakened or advanced by these two diametrically opposed emotions?"

This was Fugaku's last struggle. If he couldn't gain an advantage in awakening his eyes and advancing in rank, he should at least make up for it in terms of strength.

Taiyi remained silent for a long time, then shook his head first, and then nodded.

This completely baffled Fugaku. He was shaking his head and nodding at the same time; what did that mean?

"Actually—I can't give an accurate judgment either, since only Itachi has awakened his Sharingan with positive emotions, and it's only been a short time, so we can't see any difference."

With Taiichi's explanation, Fugaku could understand that no one could guarantee anything about something that had never happened before.

"However—" Taiyi changed the subject again, "there are still some differences."

Fugaku unconsciously clenched his fists on his lap. Taichi's panting way of speaking was really annoying. If he didn't know he couldn't beat him, he would definitely fight him for three hundred rounds.

"Itachi!" Taichi turned his head and looked at the little Itachi by the table. "Activate your Sharingan and use it at full power."

Itachi was taken aback, not understanding why his teacher had given such an instruction, but he still did as he was told.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again; his Sharingan had been activated.

A tomoe (magatama) slowly rotates in each eye.

Fugaku also stared intently at Itachi's Sharingan, hoping to discern something different.

Unfortunately, at least for now, these Sharingan eyes are not much different from ordinary Sharingan eyes.

The next moment, Itachi's eye tomoe began to spin rapidly, a result of chakra injection and the Sharingan being used at full power.

At this moment, Fugaku finally noticed the difference. He turned to look at Taichi in surprise, his finger trembling slightly as he pointed at Itachi.

"This—this—"

"That's right, the Sharingan's aura is different now."

"Will this have any impact?"

Fugaku stammered a little, which was uncommon for him, but it was because he was concerned about his son that he lost his composure.

"I can't see any substantial difference for the time being, but it lacks the coldness and violence of ordinary Sharingan. The aura emanating from Itachi's Sharingan is quite peaceful, which at least won't affect Itachi's personality or cause him to change drastically after awakening it."

This is also why there are so many mentally ill Uchiha. Negative emotional stimulation combined with a sudden increase in strength can easily lead to extreme personality traits in the Uchiha.

Now it was Fugaku's turn to struggle. These two ways of opening his eyes, regardless of their future power, already showed a clear distinction at the moment.

Positive emotions open your eyes more slowly, but emotional stability won't turn you into a neurotic.

Negative emotions are easily triggered, but emotional instability can lead to drastic personality changes.

Taiichi noticed Fugaku's dilemma and sighed inwardly, "Concern leads to confusion," so he had to offer a word of advice.

"There's nothing to worry about. Negative or positive emotions are beyond our control. The only thing we can do is lay a solid foundation and seize every opportunity, whether it's a positive or negative emotion."

After these words, Taiichi's own stance was quite clear. Just as he usually told his disciples, the body is the foundation of everything, and all the abilities of a ninja are developed on the basis of the body.

Fugaku was no fool. Although Taiichi did not express his opinion openly, how could he not see the inclination in his words? It's just that the path was too bitter and too difficult.

In the end, Fugaku did not make any decision, but Taichi did not care.

It's difficult for an individual to step out of their comfort zone, let alone for a family.

In the days that followed, Taiichi's life returned to normal.

Cultivating oneself, going to work, teaching apprentices, and gathering with a few close friends.

The only difference is the addition of research into the physical body of the demon.

The wraith is indeed a very interesting creature.

Whether it's death and resurrection, the transformation of body and energy, or drawing power from specific energies on a large scale, Taiyi can gain a great deal of benefit from understanding any of these things.

Just like now, in Taiyi's family, the three little ones are sweating profusely on the training field, lifting stone blocks and doing frog jumps around the training field.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the training ground, Taiyi placed the seal of the demon on the stone table in front of him, his hands constantly forming hand seals.

As Taiyi's hand seals changed, wisps of purplish-black energy escaped from the seal, attempting to dissipate into the world, but were blocked by the barrier set up by Taiyi.

After accumulating a certain amount, it seemed to trigger some kind of mechanism, spontaneously condensing and compressing, gradually forming a wraith body no bigger than a palm.

This is precisely the result of Taiyi's research over this period: using sealing techniques to extract the power of the demons and re-form a physical body outside.

Its body is similar to the Nine-Tails' current state.

It's a pity this body has no soul, but it's enough for research purposes.

Taiyi squeezed the "little demon" in his hand hard.

I must say, it's really sturdy. Its strength isn't reduced by its small size, which is another research topic.

At this moment, the commotion on Taiyi's side finally attracted the attention of the three little ones. They were all too familiar with that purplish-black energy aura.

Jiang Tai led the way, and the three little ones quietly crept over, only to witness their teacher create a "little monster" right before their eyes.

"Teacher—you've brought the demons back to life!"

Jiang Tai was loud and boisterous, and without even looking properly, she was just spouting nonsense.

Taiyi glanced at him sideways, then raised his hand and flicked him on the forehead.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is just an empty shell, a mere body, without a soul. It was created for research purposes."

"oh oh!"

Jiang Tai seemed to understand but not quite, yet he nodded repeatedly with a rather sensible air, completely behaving like someone who knew nothing.

Itachi then activated his Sharingan, the two tomoe spinning wildly in his eyes as he carefully examined the flesh of the demon in Taiichi's hand.

Unfortunately, although he saw a lot, his limited knowledge prevented him from understanding it; all he could say was, "Wow, amazing!"

"Alright, you three, stop wasting time. This isn't what you need to study right now. Your priority is to build a solid foundation."

With that, Taichi tossed the little demon in his hand and then instructed the three little ones, "I'm going to find Orochimaru. You all stay home and train hard, don't be lazy."

After saying that, without waiting for the three little ones to respond, he flashed and disappeared before their eyes.

"Tch, really, the teacher is so stingy! Let us see what's wrong!"

Jiang Tai was complaining, completely unaware that Ya Mei and Itachi were frantically giving him meaningful glances.

Only when another sharp pain shot through his head did Jiang Tai turn his neck and look behind him with a series of cracking sounds.

"Teacher, you...you're back again!"

"Hehe~" Taiyi walked to the stone table, picked up the demon seal on it, and said, "If I don't come back, how can I hear your words?"

"Oh dear, teacher, please don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant."

"It's alright, the teacher is very magnanimous." As he spoke, Taiyi had already begun to form hand seals.

"Teacher, what are you doing? Have mercy!"

"Don't worry, I'm just going to increase the intensity of your training."

After finishing speaking and completing the hand seals, Taiyi instantly lunged forward and pressed a palm against Jiang Tai's chest.

Sealing Technique: Gravity Barrier.

Taiyi patted Jiang Tai on the shoulder, then disappeared again, leaving only the echo of his words in the air.

"Don't let your teacher's hard work go to waste; cultivate your skills diligently."

Jiang Tai looked at the faintly glowing rune on his chest with a bitter expression, then looked up at his two companions for help.

"What...is this?"

Yami spread her hands, indicating her helplessness.

Itachi stepped forward and took a look for himself.

"This is—probably a gravity barrier, but the ones I've seen are all very large. Yours is very—exquisite, but it should be true. It can amplify the gravity you experience—"

Before Itachi could finish speaking, Jiang Tai already knew the effect. He staggered and almost lost his balance, feeling as if he had suddenly been weighed down by dozens of kilograms.

When he looked at his two friends again, he was met with expressions of helplessness.

At that moment, he unconsciously slapped himself, blaming it all on his foul mouth. At the same time, he lamented in his heart: How am I going to get through today!
