Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Chapter 42 Uchiha Tajima's Self-Directed and Self-Acted Show

"No, his eyes tell me he's been betrayed."

Uchiha Yao practically gritted his teeth as he uttered those words.

"And the one who betrayed him was his most trusted brother-in-law, Uchiha Tajima!"

His own father was killed by his own cousin? This news was even more shocking than knowing that his father was a super genius, and it made him gasp in shock.

"If it weren't for the later discovery of the footage recorded in Gin's eyes before his death, I wouldn't have believed that Uchiha Tajima, who nearly fainted from crying at the funeral, could be such a despicable person!"

"Uchiha Yao said angrily."

"When you were eight years old, your parents led a small team on a decapitation mission. Unexpectedly, the enemy was prepared and laid a trap. In the end, your father led your mother and Uchiha Tajima to fight their way out. Just when they were about to escape, Uchiha Tajima attacked and seriously injured your father. This caused your father to be caught up by the enemy. Your mother was unwilling to abandon your father, and in the end, the two of them committed suicide together."

Uchiha Yao slowly revealed the truth about the original owner's parents' deaths.

"These images exist in Jin's eyes."

Uchiha Kin's body was later recovered, and it was his father, Uchiha Yao, who performed the autopsy.

Uchiha Yao sensed something was wrong from the lingering pupil power in his son's eyes, so he reluctantly removed his eyes temporarily and took them back to the research institute for study.

Years later, he finally saw the above scene through his son's Sharingan eyes.

"My son is a genius! And you, my grandson, are an unparalleled genius whose talent surpasses even your father's."

Uchiha Yao turned his gaze, his eyes flickered slightly, and then a strange light flashed in his single black eye as he stared intently at Uchiha Gin, speaking with absolute certainty.

"what?"

Uchiha Gin, who was suddenly mentioned, was a little confused. Didn't he know how weak the original owner of this body was? A peerless genius? He should be called a peerless sweet potato. You old man, you've mistaken me for someone else.

Seeing the disbelief on his grandson's face, Uchiha Yao continued,

"When Uchiha Tajima told you about your parents' deaths, you, at only eight years old, had already awakened the Sharingan."

"???"

Uchiha Gin felt like his brain wasn't working properly. Wasn't it him who awakened the Sharingan in the original owner's body?

"And it's the most powerful Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Yao made a startling statement.

"??????"

Uchiha Gin's brain completely shut down. At this moment, he wished he could slap himself a few times and ask where his huge Kaleidoscope Sharingan had gone.

"Uchiha Tajima witnessed the birth of your Mangekyou Sharingan, and from that moment on, he set his sights on you."

Uchiha Yao ignored Uchiha Gin's change of expression and continued speaking.

"Besides, you weren't the only kaleidoscope back then."

Uchiha Yao looked nostalgic. "There was another child, just like you."

"Who is it?"

The hidden photograph flashed through Gin Uchiha's mind.

"She is your neighbor's child, and her parents were members of the squad who died alongside your parents."

"After that child awakened her kaleidoscope, her emotions became extremely unstable, and the people at the research institute called her Nameless."

Uchiha Yao didn't know much about the other child's family.

"Because you two were too young to control the power of the kaleidoscope, the elderly clan chief appointed me to take care of you and at the same time conduct research on the kaleidoscope eye technique."

As if recalling happy times, a slight smile appeared on Uchiha Yao's cold lips.

"You two children were having a great time at the research institute, but two years later..."

Uchiha Yao abruptly changed the subject, his expression turning cold.

"The old clan leader passed away due to illness, leaving the clan leaderless. At that time, Uchiha Yan, the leader of the military faction, and Uchiha Miao, the second-in-command of the research institute, publicly recommended Uchiha Tajima to succeed him as clan leader. They also advocated that Uchiha Tajima marry the daughter of the previous clan leader. I, unaware of the truth, also voted in favor."

"I never expected that the first thing Uchiha Tajima did upon taking office was to replace me with Uchiha Miao and demote me to another department to do research."

"Since that day, I haven't seen either of you for a long time. During that time, I asked Uchiha Miao, but he turned me away. He told me that you were conducting a secret experiment and couldn't go out easily."

Upon careful consideration of Uchiha Yao's account of his experiences, Uchiha Gin discovered with a chilling realization that the original owner's memories contained absolutely no trace of the so-called research institute. The only memories he had were of being adopted and treated as his own son by young Uchiha Tajima.

For a moment, he couldn't tell who was lying and who was telling the truth.

Do you think I'm lying to you?

Seeing Uchiha Gin's confusion, Uchiha Yao said calmly.

"That's right. If what you're saying is true, then why do my memories only include scenes of Uchiha Tajima accompanying me as I grew up?" Uchiha Gin asked.

"Then your memories, and even your cognition, have been altered."

Uchiha Yao shook his head and said,

"By Uchiha Tajima's eye technique."

Kotoamatsukami?! A unique genjutsu of the Flower Sharingan, hailed as the "strongest genjutsu".

It can directly invade the other party's brain and modify their will without being detected.

The technique is extremely powerful, allowing the opponent to be controlled unconsciously, achieving victory without conflict, but each use requires a cooldown period of more than ten years.

With a suitable expression of confusion, Uchiha Yao explained,

"Uchiha Tajima also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at some point. His eye technique can modify a person's memories and even will. He used that technique on you, which is why your memories are distorted."

The original owner of this body had actually been hit by a Kotoamatsukami? Uchiha Gin was shocked. This genjutsu, which was touted as a game-changer in the future, actually existed now.

However, it makes sense. During the Warring States period, there were many members of the Uchiha clan who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. In the future, the strongest genjutsu that would circulate in the ninja world, "Kotoamatsukami," would be known to the Third Hokage and others, and it would certainly be recorded.

"What exactly happened while I was in the research institute?"

Uchiha Gin couldn't help but ask,

"When I was there, I was only researching why you all awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at the same time," Uchiha Yao replied.

"I've discovered that your Sharingan is extremely compatible with Mumei's. I speculate that this is due to the mutual attraction when your eye powers were activated, and it's also closely related to the deep bond between you two."

"What happened to me and that nameless guy after that?"

What Uchiha Gin was more concerned about was what kind of research Uchiha Miao had done on Uchiha Yao after he was kicked out of the team.

"I was unaware that I tried to contact you during your imprisonment, but I was stopped by Uchiha Tajima and others. Shortly afterward, I discovered that you were at Uchiha Tajima's house, but I did not see the nameless figure."

"Until six years ago, when that incident happened in the family."

After talking for so long, Uchiha Yao finally brought up the massacre at the clan's territory six years ago.

"Was it the Kaguya clan that launched a surprise attack on their territory?"

Uchiha Gin recalled the original owner's memories and shared his guesses.

"Heh, how could that be? Just Kaguya." Uchiha Yao held the Kaguya clan in utter disdain.

"Those brainless people are just being deceived."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing the accusations, Uchiha Gin's curiosity was piqued again.

"Uchiha Tajima sent someone disguised as a wandering ninja to deliver information to the Kaguya clan, who had fled to the Land of Water."

"What intelligence?"

"The Uchiha clan's territory is empty! Come quickly!"

Uchiha Yao uttered chilling words in a deep voice.

"For the sake of his reputation, Uchiha Tajima actually lured the Kaguya clan to attack his own home, preparing to have divine intervention to save his clan from their suffering."

"Is Uchiha Tajima strong enough?"

The Kaguya clan's bloodline limit was somewhat effective against the Uchiha clan, whose taijutsu was relatively weak. How did Uchiha Tajima, who had not yet reached his peak, deal with the Kaguya clan, who were eyeing him covetously and launching a full-scale attack?

"The two 'weapons' he possessed were his greatest source of confidence at the time."

Uchiha Yao's icy tone made the surrounding air frosty, causing Uchiha Gin's body to tremble slightly.
