Naruto: I Borrow from the Future

Uchiha Setsuna, an elder from the Warring States period, was a member of the Uchiha clan who founded Konoha alongside Uchiha Madara.

After Tobirama Senju succeeded as Hokage, he once launched a coup d'état.

...and then he was imprisoned for more than 20 years.

He was not released until the eve of the Second Shinobi World War.

After being imprisoned for so long, Uchiha Satsuki, upon his release, was no longer the arrogant and unruly person he once was, and most of his strength was also lost. Yet, he was still regarded as a spiritual leader by the Uchiha hawks.

Since then, the elder has no longer engaged in combat missions, but instead has been responsible for teaching the younger generation of the Uchiha clan and some intelligence gathering work.

Aoya, Obito, Uchiha Tekka, Uchiha Inahisa, and even the younger Shisui, all received instruction from Uchiha Setsuna when they were young.

Uchiha Setsuna has a typical Uchiha clan personality.

Externally, they have never been very friendly towards the Hokage lineage established by the Senju brothers.

However, when it came to his own clan, Uchiha Setsuna was impeccable, and he always devoted himself wholeheartedly to teaching the younger members of the clan.

The information about the Fourth Shinobi World War that Aoya collected through the Ninja Crow Mailbox was mostly sent from Uchiha Setsuna.

"Rumors about you have been circulating in the village for a while now."

Uchiha Setsuna snorted coldly: "No need to say more, it must have been the work of that rat Shimura Danzo, who inherited Tobirama Senju's will."

"I also think it's Danzo."

Qingye nodded.

The old man and the young man successfully reached a consensus.

Back when Tobirama Senju was still alive, whenever the Uchiha felt that the Uchiha clan had been tricked, the Uchiha would immediately and subconsciously think that it was Tobirama Senju who was behind it.

After Tobirama Senju's death, the suspect automatically became Danzo Shimura.

"You shouldn't have been so high-profile on the battlefield of Iwagakure."

Uchiha Setsuna sighed deeply, his tone full of disappointment: "You know the flaw in those eyes yourself; the more you use them, the faster you'll go blind!"

It's like I want to use it!

It's all because they were tricked by that old stigma.

Aoya mentally scoffed, but still didn't reveal the truth about Uchiha Madara.

Madara Uchiha, the old clan leader, was the spiritual idol of the Grand Elder. He probably couldn't have imagined that the old clan leader would now become a rat hiding in a corner of the ninja world.

"Well, it's a good thing that those eyes have been awakened after all."

Uchiha Setsuna shook his head, offering a weak consolation: "Of your generation, I originally thought Shisui would be the most likely to awaken those eyes, but it turns out you're the one who awakened them first."

Shisui possesses excellent talent and a good temperament.

He's just not very bright.

Uchiha Aoya, on the other hand, was mentally sound, but lacked talent.

Of the remaining two, Uchiha Tetsuka and Uchiha Inaho were decent, while Uchiha Obito was a complete idiot. No one knew what he would look like, and now he's dead on the battlefield.

As for the clan head, Fugaku Uchiha...

What a piece of trash!

What a waste of such good talent.

"Shimura Danzo most likely wants to use your reputation to coerce you, forcing you to constantly deplete your Mangekyou Sharingan's power on the battlefield."

"Therefore, you'd better focus on improving your other skills in the coming period and not rely too much on those eyes."

"Back then, the reason why Lord Madara and Lord Izuna were able to fight against the two Senju brothers for so long was not entirely due to their Mangekyou Sharingan."

Upon hearing this, Qingye immediately perked up.

That was his original plan.

Over the past few months, his Sharingan has improved from two tomoe to Mangekyou Sharingan, but his other abilities have not yet caught up.

Illusion magic relies almost entirely on the values ​​of the kaleidoscope; I need to study that further.

In terms of physical skills, with the current stats of 8 in Constitution, 6 in Strength, and 9 in Speed, it's difficult to improve Strength, given the age factor. However, there's room for improvement in physical skills and speed.

As for ninjutsu, surely the Lightning Release: Kirin ninjutsu must be completed?

The various forms of Chidori, including Chidori Sharp Spear and Chidori Stream, are quite useful.

There are also the Uchiha's fire-style ninjutsu; I still have a few B-rank fire-style techniques I haven't learned yet.

In addition, there are some Uchiha secret ninjutsu. I won't go into details about Izanagi and Izanami, but the Uchiha Fire Formation barrier technique and the Transmission Sealing Technique are also worth learning!

The Kaleidoscope Chakra Loan still has almost a year to go, so we can't just sit idle during this time, can we?

One cannot rely entirely on the system to improve one's strength.

"Time is of the essence, and I don't know when I might be recalled to the battlefield. Elder, I'll have to trouble you during this time."

Qingye said very seriously.

Uchiha Setsuna nodded slightly, quite pleased.

What he was most satisfied with about Qingye was that she could see the situation clearly and was willing to make preparations.

His talent is still a bit lacking compared to a true genius like Shisui.

"Don't be too anxious. With your current strength, you can basically protect yourself even without using the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Uchiha Setsuna offered a word of comfort, then said seriously, "Let's start with genjutsu. You've already mastered the Shackles Technique. Next, you'll learn the Illusionary Mirror of Heaven and Earth."

The Mirror Heaven Transformation is not a genjutsu exclusive to the Sharingan; it requires a very high level of understanding of genjutsu.

According to his estimate, with Qingye's talent, it would probably take him a few days to master the basics.

But the result.

In less than half a day.

Uchiha Setsuna stared at the genjutsu that had been deflected and fell into deep thought.

"Elder, I think I've grasped it?"

Aoya's face showed amazement: "This illusion is indeed interesting. I'll have to think about it more later."

"..."

Uchiha Setsuna's Sharingan flickered slightly.

Ok?

Why didn't you break free?

Not enough pupil power?

He increased his pupil power again and tried once more, finally breaking free from the illusion.

Is this the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan?

Uchiha Setsuna looked at Aoya's Sharingan and sighed inwardly, truly a power that he had never been able to master in his entire life.

"Ahem, next we'll learn the Uchiha Flame Formation. The principle behind this barrier technique is..."

Uchiha Setsuna coughed lightly, ignoring the slight embarrassment from before, and continued teaching.

Barrier techniques fall under the broader category of sealing techniques.

This should take quite a bit of time.

As expected, Qingye was indeed unable to grasp it that day.

Another day passed, and it was the third day.

Qingye pressed his palm to the ground, and fiery red chakra seeped into the ground. With a hiss, a semi-transparent red barrier rose up, completely enclosing a large tree in the courtyard.

"quack--"

Startled, the two ninja crows in the tree flapped their wings, and even from several meters away, they could feel a scorching heat, so they dared not try to touch the barrier.

"...It seems I underestimated your talent."

Uchiha Setsuna was half surprised and half pleased: "Next, we'll learn the Transcribing Seal. This technique is very difficult, and it will probably take a month or two to even get the hang of it."

Qingye held a scroll in his hand, covered with dense runes, which made him frown.

Sealing techniques are indeed difficult to learn.

Even with his talent amplified by the system, learning to transcribe seals still presents some challenges.

Qingye spent nearly ten days on this.

Ten days later.

Aoya formed a hand seal, and his Sharingan in his left eye automatically activated, releasing a pre-sealed genjutsu.

"It is indeed quite difficult."

Qingye breathed a sigh of relief: "Elder, does this count as having entered the sect?"

"..."

Uchiha Setsuna quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

What's up with Qingye's talent? It seems to be much higher than I thought.

"I'll continue researching the transcription seal later, Elder, what's next?"

"...That's all." Uchiha Setsuna felt his throat was a little dry. "You can learn Fire Release by looking at the scrolls yourself. Besides that, there are just some genjutsu techniques."

"Wait a minute, aren't Izanagi and Izanami also there?"

"?!"

Uchiha Setsuna's expression changed, and he raised an eyebrow: "Why are you learning that? If you really encounter an enemy you can't handle, just retreat. Don't count on Izanagi."

It's such a waste that the younger generation of the clan finally produced a pair of kaleidoscopes, and they're wasting them on Izanagi!

"But who knows when..."

"Don't be so sure! Doesn't the ninja cat you contracted know how to use the Reverse Summoning Technique? If necessary, just use Reverse Summoning to retreat!" Uchiha Setsuna showed no sign of backing down.

"..."

Very well, you old fool, you've been hiding the secret of burning incense and refusing to teach me, haven't you? I see you've already found your way to death!

After internally complaining for a while, Qingye didn't dwell on it too much. If he wasn't going to teach her, he wasn't going to teach her. Anyway, he could borrow chakra to learn these things later.

"Elder, please also teach me any illusion techniques that I haven't mastered yet."
