Chapter 108 Izanagi

As the two left the command center, an Uchiha dressed as a security guard approached them.

"Kazuhiko, Shisui, the clan chief needs to speak with you."

At the fortress's wounded soldiers' camp, Uchiha Fu seemed to be giving orders. The Uchiha ninjas scattered and formed three-person teams, quickly moving towards the various exits.

This behavior is very rare.

Only the frontline commander has the authority to conduct large-scale ninja operations deep into enemy territory.

Judging from the size of the Uchiha group just now, with dozens of Jonin and elite Jonin acting in the same batch, this kind of mission undoubtedly requires Tsunade's approval.

Kazuhiko and Shisui walked over.

"Kazuhiko, I heard you didn't get much out of this mission."

When Fugaku saw the two of them, his serious expression softened.

"That's normal. I heard that Iwagakure has already issued an order that if you see someone, you can voluntarily abandon the mission and not be held responsible."

"Black Flash, hahaha—"

He looked at Kazuhiko: "As a ninja, your intimidating presence has earned you the same treatment as the Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash."

"Yeah?"

Kazuhiko didn't expect Iwagakure to react even more strongly than Kumogakure.

He clearly did not carry out any missions involving Iwagakure.

It seems that Minato Namikaze really terrified Iwagakure back then.

"Is it just my imagination?"

Fugaku reached out and patted Kazuhiko on the shoulder, asking curiously, "Let me see, he has a kind of sharp edge to him, he's grown taller and stronger too—"

"I've made a breakthrough in ninjutsu recently," Kazuhiko casually replied.

It can only be said that the change brought about by the "Tailed Beast Level Chakra" is indeed worthy of being a golden physique-type attribute. It is too obvious, and anyone who is familiar with it can notice it at a glance.

"What does the chieftain want with us?"

Fugaku suddenly understood, nodded, and led the way for the two of them, saying, "Follow me."

"You've just returned from a mission, so I shouldn't have called you here. But this concerns the very foundation of our Uchiha clan, so there are some things that I need you to decide."

"We're here, this is it."

The destination was a typical square tent, white, printed with the Uchiha clan crest and densely packed sealing runes.

After breaking the seal by forming hand seals, Fugaku went inside first.

Kazuhiko followed behind and saw that there were neatly arranged mortuary beds on both sides of the aisle, covered with white sheets.

Looking up, a distinctive metal wall cabinet comes into view, standing quietly at the end of the tent.

The metal cabinet was covered with small, square compartments, each containing a transparent liquid. Pairs of Sharingan eyes with three tomoe were immersed in the liquid, with thick, dense optic nerves connected to the back of each eyeball.

"This is?"

Upon seeing this, Shisui's mouth slowly opened wide.

Fugaku turned to look at Shisui and explained, "These are the Sharingan eyes of clansmen who sacrificed their lives in this war."

Kazuhiko felt that the wall where the Sharingan was stored was strangely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

So that's how Obito got all those three-tomoe Sharingan eyes on that wall.

"The Sharingan is the bloodline limit of our Uchiha clan. Unless it is destroyed in war or loses its activity, it will be preserved in this way as the foundation of our Uchiha clan."

Fugaku walked to the nearest mortuary, lifted the white sheet, and revealed the body underneath.

"Once the Sharingan reaches the Mangekyou Sharingan level, it becomes a consumable item that drains the eye's power. If it is not used sparingly, it will quickly lead to permanent blindness."

"The benefit of doing this is that it provides a backup eye for transplantation after the tribesmen go blind, thus maintaining their fighting capacity."

"Furthermore, some of the Uchiha's secret techniques can also be performed by consuming the Sharingan."

Zhi Shui was stunned upon hearing this.

He had already seen the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths and read the contents that the Sharingan with three tomoe could decipher.

He had never heard of the Mangekyou Sharingan's ability to consume eye power and cause permanent blindness, nor of any secret techniques that could deplete the Sharingan.

Kazuhiko was not surprised.

He knew what Fugaku knew, and he also knew what Fugaku didn't know.

Aside from Izanagi and Izanami, which he had not yet mastered, the Uchiha had no secrets from him.

He looked at the corpse.

There was no empty eye socket as I had imagined; it was a headless corpse.

"Therefore, the Sharingan is a taboo for us Uchiha, and we absolutely will not allow anyone to touch it."

"Otherwise, there will be the disaster of extermination of the entire clan."

Fugaku turned to the two men, his voice heavy: "Most of the Sharingan eyes of the clansmen who sacrificed themselves this time have been recovered, but the Sharingan eyes of Ueda and Noda's team are all missing."

"Based on the intelligence we have so far, all six members of the two teams have been killed. Apart from this headless corpse, there are no traces of the others."

"Ueda and Noda are both elite Jonin with three-tomoe Sharingan. It's impossible for them to die silently outside while leading the team, let alone fail to send back any information."

"I have reason to suspect that this is a secret operation to steal the Sharingan. My clansmen have already set out to conduct a thorough search for relevant clues."

"If we don't find anything, we'll have to trouble the two of you to make a trip to Kumogakure in person."

After accepting Fugaku's mission, Kazuhiko returned to the camp to rest.

Of course, he went into Tsunade's room.

He's been exposed to the elements these past two days, and he's very irritable right now.

Kazuhiko lay on the bed, a faint fragrance wafting into his nose and mouth.

The image of that frenzied night immediately flashed into his mind: a young man who had just turned eighteen and had seen it all, and a ruthless taijutsu-type Jonin. Their passion was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, like golden wind and jade dew.

Thinking of Tsunade's incredibly alluring and mature body, Kazuhiko's lips curled up and a smile unconsciously appeared.

He was very angry, so he forced himself to distract himself.

"Of the two missing Uchiha teams, Kumogakure is indeed the prime suspect."

He began to consider the risks of infiltrating Kumogakure.

This matter concerns six pairs of Sharingan, two of which have three tomoe. This is a mission that Kazuhiko and Shisui must carry out.

Anyone who steals the Sharingan, no matter how far away, will be punished.

This is the ancestral precept of the Uchiha clan.

This is also a powerful guarantee that the Uchiha clan has been able to prosper for so long and not be coveted by outsiders.

Aside from Kakashi's case, no one has ever been able to openly and legitimately transplant the Sharingan.

Most importantly, Fugaku offered the secret technique Izanagi as a reward for the mission.

Kazuhiko was very interested in this ninjutsu that could prevent death and restore one's own state.

"Apart from the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee, no one in Kumogakure can pose a threat to me and Shisui."

"Infiltrating to gather intelligence isn't too difficult. But if we're going to retrieve the Sharingan, we should be careful."

Even the fastest ninjas fear being surrounded.

If trapped by the Hidden Cloud Village and bogged down by sheer numbers, even Kazuhiko's Phantom Blink will be in danger if he has no room to maneuver.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door.

Kazuhiko sensed something; who else could it be but Tsunade?

He rolled over and got up, opening the door from the inside.

Before she could even enter, he pulled Tsunade into the room, embraced her, and kissed her, his hands exploring her mature body.
