Chapter 201 Izanagi and Izanami

If it weren't for Uchiha Gen, given Madara's personality, he would rather wait a few more years to prolong his life until a suitable successor is chosen.

Now, he can only choose the best among the worst, picking Uchiha Fugaku who is barely acceptable.

Given Uchiha Gen's phenomenal growth rate, he really couldn't guarantee that this kid might have some negative impact on his plans.

Even though Uchiha Gen didn't have a biological brother like him who could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan and donate his eyes to help him achieve the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he would still be a top-tier ninja even without the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Considering his age, with the help of Kaleidoscope, he could very well grow to a point where no one can stop him.

After all, this era no longer has peerless powerhouses like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

His previous actions had inevitably offended Genji Uchiha. Since he was unable to control him, if his successor were to appear, he would inevitably clash with Genji Uchiha.

Madara must hurry and cultivate a powerful and qualified successor to inherit everything from him, possessing enough strength and trump cards to contend with and fight against Gen Uchiha.

Fugaku is the most suitable choice.

"So you should be even more grateful that you are my only choice."

Madara Uchiha lowered his eyes and stared at Fugaku.

"I will help you gain eyes as powerful as his, and I will also help you inherit everything I left behind, and obtain the power of the Forest Elephant that Uchiha Gen did not possess. That will be the beginning of your surpassing Uchiha Gen. When everything is successful, you will obtain everything you want."

"I want it now! Otherwise, I'll go back to the village right now. Even if I'm no longer the clan chief's son, I'll still be an Uchiha Jonin, and I can still compete for the position, status, and wealth of an elder within the clan."

But without me, you'll only be able to continue hiding in this dark and gloomy place, living a life of mere survival, reduced from the once mighty Uchiha Madara to a rat in the sewers!

Fugaku Uchiha retorted defiantly once again.

He had already given so much, but so far, he had gained nothing. Therefore, even though the other party was the once nearly invincible Uchiha Madara, he still spoke in a tough tone.

"I said, what's rightfully mine will be yours. Everything I have is yours."

Madara Uchiha was not angry. He simply looked at Fugaku Uchiha with his aged eyes and made a clearer assessment of him in his mind.

Capable and promising, but prone to making plans but lacking decisiveness. Seemingly calm and wise, he is decisive and skillful in his daily actions, making him an excellent boss in the eyes of most people.

However, when it comes to important matters, Fugaku is unable to distinguish between what is important and what is not.

Even at this point, he still felt that he had a choice.

In other words, he didn't intend to kill him. Otherwise, in a different setting, Madara Uchiha would be sure that Fugaku would never have made it out of that cave alive.

This young man could be an exceptionally talented and capable executor, but he is not suited to be a leader who commands a force.

Because he lacked a clear vision when faced with important matters.

But for Madara, this is just right.

Fugaku Uchiha's lack of magnanimity and vision suggests that he would not escape his control repeatedly like Gen Uchiha.

He only needs to be a good executor; everything else can be handled by Black Zetsu, the embodiment of his consciousness, to ensure the Eye of the Moon plan doesn't go astray.

"Now, follow Zetsu back to the Land of Fire. Once we get there, he will tell you what to do. These eyes are yours. Don't tell me that as the son of Kusu, he didn't teach you Izanagi and Izanami before you were about to defect. With these eyes, your safety is guaranteed."

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, at the clan chief's residence.

Uchiha Gen and the Grand Elder walked out of the vermilion gate together.

The dull slam of the door closing not only separated the two spaces, but also seemed to separate two eras.

"These are Izanagi and Izanami. Throughout history, these two techniques have been jointly kept by the Grand Elder and the Clan Chief to ensure that they are not passed on to outsiders."

Historically, Izanagi caused a devastating civil war within his clan. Later, his ancestor created Izanami, quelled the civil war, and led the clan through this painful period.

Therefore, the Izanami Technique has always been controlled by the clan head's lineage, giving them the ability to suppress the Grand Elder's lineage.

The elder handed two scrolls to Uchiha Gen, behind whom stood the once magnificent but now desolate clan head's residence.

"Then why—doesn't the clan leader use it?"

Uchiha Gen looked at the Grand Elder and asked hesitantly.

In the original timeline, both Obito and Danzo used Izanagi to resurrect their Sharingan. Itachi Uchiha also used this technique to forcibly rewrite Kabuto's consciousness, with an effect comparable to Kotoamatsukami.

Yet, Fugaku Uchiha, as the clan leader, faced with the threat of his clan's annihilation, chose to die with his wife and son.

He didn't use this technique either.

Even if it costs me a three-tomoe Sharingan, it's better than dying.

Izanagi can be used to escape, but Izanami is even more terrifying.

If it had the same effect as Itachi Uchiha used against Kabuto in Sage Mode, Genji Uchiha wouldn't have been able to defend against it and could only dodge it.

Therefore, when he entered the house to talk to the old clan chief, he only used a shadow clone.

Faced with Uchiha Gen's doubts, the First Elder simply shook his head.

"Whether it's Izanagi or Izanami, no matter how strong their power is, they ultimately rely on the Sharingan's ocular power to perform them."

I know Izanagi; if he really makes a move, he's no match for you. We just need to wait five minutes. As for Izanami—

What right does a forbidden technique performed by a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan have to contend with the power of your eye? It would be more likely if it were a Sharingan of the same Mangekyou Sharingan.

Besides, Izanami is incredibly difficult to master. In the clan's history, only the ancestor who created it has successfully performed it. Uchiha Hisasu probably doesn't have that ability.

It turned out to be the case.

Gen Uchiha nodded slowly.

After leaving the clan head's residence, Uchiha Gen did not rush to check the two techniques, but instead went to Uchiha Sumi's house.

Upon learning that Uchiha Gen was returning, Uchiha Sumi didn't bother choosing an auspicious day and decided to marry Yuna within the next few days.

The reason for their hasty marriage was not anything else, but that the latter was already pregnant.

In a few months, when my belly starts to show, it will be inconvenient.
