I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 322 Uchiha Sasuke's Change

"Teacher Ye, please help me!"

Inside the prison, Uchiha Sasuke knelt down and kowtowed deeply, his face resolute, which moved Uchiha Yoru deeply.

"Sasuke, are you really sure?"

"Yes, I'm too weak right now."

Sasuke Uchiha had never felt so weak before, and the three-tomoe Sharingan in his eye sockets spun with an even more resolute expression.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yoru shook his head and sighed, "Sasuke, the Sharingan is indeed very strong, but those without the Sharingan can also become strong."

"Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze did not have bloodline abilities. You are too obsessed with the Sharingan, which may not be a good thing for your future."

Sasuke Uchiha nodded solemnly after listening, "Teacher Yoru, I understand what you're saying, but these strong individuals are forged through the tempering of time. With the Fourth Shinobi World War imminent, I don't have much time left to train."

"Only the Sharingan can improve my strength faster and more directly now."

Because Sasuke Uchiha lacked the obsession of hatred in this life, his Sharingan progressed almost stagnant after evolving to the three-tomoe stage, also due to the current status of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Sasuke's personality became more cheerful and mature, but the previous incident involving the Sixth Hokage put a heavy burden on him.

He needed to prove himself, which was also a source of pride for Uchiha Sasuke regarding his surname.

"In that case, Sasuke, you should know the secret of your own body."

Under Uchiha Yoru's calm tone, Sasuke nodded solemnly, a stubborn look appearing on his face.

"I am Uchiha Sasuke! I have absolutely no connection with Indra, and the so-called Indra's chakra will cannot change me!"

Uchiha Yoru calmly nodded slightly at Sasuke's pride.

"It is an indisputable fact that you possess the reincarnation of Indra's chakra will, and it is precisely because of this that you are different from other Uchiha clan members."

"The awakening and evolution of the Sharingan requires talent, and the evolution of the Sharingan into the Mangekyou Sharingan requires even more talent. To put it simply, it depends on the strength of one's eye power. Even with the same three-tomoe Sharingan, in addition to the different abilities that come with each person, the individual's eye power can also be very different."

"Some people are born with strong eye power. The stronger the eye power, the farther the Sharingan can see. The prerequisite for awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan is that the three-tomoe Sharingan has super strong eye power. There are very few ninjas who can reach this level of eye power."

At this point, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but take a deep look at Uchiha Sasuke.

"You are the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, which has given you extraordinary talent. You may have thought that your talent was not as good as Itachi's or Shisui's since you were a child, but you did not know that this special chakra contained infinite power."

"So the only thing you lacked to awaken the Kaleidoscope was timing, not the kind of emotional overload that some people have. But your talent is already limited, and you can only stay at the three-tomoe level for your entire life."

"I have a method that can not only unlock the hidden power within you, but also awaken your kaleidoscope, though this method is extremely dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke nodded resolutely and solemnly, saying, "I'm counting on you, Yoru-sensei!"

Faced with Sasuke's unwavering resolve, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but give him a deep look and said, "Should you tell Itachi and your mother about this?"

When Sasuke mentioned his mother and brother, he hesitated noticeably. In this life, he had family, just as Indra valued his family extremely in almost every life.

"Teacher Ye, how dangerous is this method?"

Sasuke Uchiha knew that becoming stronger came at a price, so he wanted to know just how great the risk was this time.

Looking at Uchiha Sasuke's expression, Uchiha Yoru couldn't help but smile. This was a real person, someone with flesh and blood, someone to care about, someone with their own goals—only then could he be considered a complete person.

"Sasuke, you must have read a lot of the village's secret information these days and learned a lot. You should know about the connection between the Uchiha and Senju clans. The power of the Myriad Manifestations is terrifying, but it is also extremely dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke nodded slightly. "I know. Back then, Yoru-sensei obtained the power of the myriad forms of the forest by using Wood Release cells. With the fusion of the Uchiha and Senju, he awakened the Sage Body and Sage Eyes."

"So my method is simple. With Indra's chakra, you have a greater chance of success than anyone else. I will inject Wood Release cells into one of your arms. I will monitor the whole process. If it fails, you will lose an arm."

"Of course, the Wood Release cells need the Sharingan to suppress them. Your pair of three-tomoe Sharingan are still too weak, so I will first seal your memories from these years, keeping them at around the age of eight. Then, I will use genjutsu and the Wood Release cells together to stimulate and suppress your Sharingan."

At this point, Uchiha Yoru gave Sasuke a deep look. "If it were anyone else, even Itachi, I wouldn't do this, but you are different."

"Indra's chakra is a huge treasure. Once it is unearthed, it will be an unprecedented power. Moreover, over the years, your cells and genes have been slowly reverting to their ancestral state under the influence of Indra's chakra. According to Orochimaru's calculations, your cells will eventually revert to about 70-80% of Indra's ancestral state."

Others may not have had the chance, but Sasuke Uchiha was different; it could be said that he and Naruto were both chosen ones.

The success rate of reincarnations of Indra and Asura is increased by 70-80% just by the Indra chakra hidden within their bodies, while the success rate of others is less than 10%.

"An arm?"

Upon learning that the danger would be losing an arm, Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth and firmly stated, "I can make this decision; there's no need to inform my brother and mother."

Losing an arm wouldn't be a big deal; it would just mean a significant loss of combat power.

"Okay, you're coming with me to the research base at the root tonight."

And so, Uchiha Yoru and Uchiha Sasuke calmly walked out of the prison. This time, they not only gained the service of the Akatsuki's Art Duo and Immortal Duo, but also Sasuke's desire to become stronger.

……

root.

The once fearsome Root organization has now been transformed into Orochimaru's research base.

All of Root's former combat, intelligence, and espionage departments were stripped away and incorporated into the Dark Division, leaving only the research department.

The current leader of Root is naturally Orochimaru.

As a legendary ninja, Orochimaru is elusive and rarely seen. The ninja world has always believed that Orochimaru is secretly roaming the ninja world, but in fact, he has been staying at the Root base all these years.

Orochimaru even moved all the bases, facilities, and members he had built up in the ninja world over the years back to Konoha.

With the support of Uchiha Yoru's power and the financial backing of the three great nations of the Land of Fire, the Land of Wind, and the Land of Water, Orochimaru had never been so fortunate.

There's never any need to worry about finances; you can just do whatever you want with research. Plus, there's a huge group of researchers assisting you, which speeds up the research process many times over.

That night.

When Uchiha Sasuke arrived at the Root research base for the first time, he was filled with shock as he looked around at everything.

"Most of the research here is from the roots, and it would be a waste to destroy it. However, three years ago, these studies changed their target to inferior black devils."

"So Sasuke, you need to understand one thing." At this moment, Uchiha Yoru gave Sasuke a deep look.

"You can't stop people's desires, so they need to be released. Especially after unifying the ninja world, do you really want to achieve equality for everyone? You need to know that desire is the origin of all wars, so some violent, greedy, and plundering Cloud Ninja Black Demons are a good choice."

"Not only are their numbers enormous, but you'll also find out how greedy and violent these black devils are by observing them. The lazy ones only know how to reap without sowing, so these people will be perfect for the slaves of the ninja world in the future."

"Nobles need slaves, research needs slaves, Sasuke, do you understand these things?"

As they walked, Uchiha Yoru spoke of the future of the ninja world, and Uchiha Sasuke nodded solemnly in response.

"Teacher Ye, I understand. Brother Zhishui once took me to see the ugliness of human nature, and you also wrote about human nature in your book."

Without the drive of hatred, Sasuke Uchiha was raised as a genius of the Uchiha clan from a young age, and Itachi Uchiha, who was obsessed with his younger brother, started training Sasuke from childhood.

Not only in terms of strength, but also in various insights, Sasuke in this life is more mature.

Inside a closed operating room.

Under the blinding white light, Orochimaru's research base, which no longer had to worry about funding, had undergone obvious changes, such as the once dim and wasteful power system.

The research base is now brightly lit, a world apart from the dark underground caves of the past.

"Hehe, I didn't expect little Sasuke to be willing to be this little mouse."

Inside the operating room, Sasuke Uchiha lay on the operating table, while Orochimaru spoke excitedly, with his assistant Kabuto Yakushi behind him.

"Lord Orochimaru."

Under Orochimaru's fervent gaze, Sasuke Uchiha felt awkward and uncomfortable, but the lessons he had learned in this life were still quite good.

At least for their own people, they no longer acted like they were worth 25,000 just because they had just gained power in their previous life.

"Yoru-kun, you're really generous, you even sent someone to train for the sixth generation."

Faced with Orochimaru's cheerful teasing, Uchiha Yoru shrugged and laughed, "Sasuke personally came to find me. But didn't you make a prediction before, Orochimaru-sensei? That the chances of ordinary people in the Uchiha clan succeeding are too small, and only those who possess Indra's chakra have a chance of succeeding."

As the two chatted and laughed, Uchiha Sasuke felt like a guinea pig. Although he was uncomfortable all over, he calmly said, "Teacher Yoru, I'm ready," in order to become stronger.

At that moment, Kabuto Yakushi walked out with a smile, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Sasuke, I am now preparing to seal your memories after you were eight years old. Please do not resist. I will help you with a secret technique of the Yamanaka clan."

"good!"

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio is no longer what it once was, and as an exchange for surrender, the secret techniques of the three clans have naturally fallen into the hands of Uchiha Yoru.

However, the secret techniques of the Ino-Shika-Cho clans were not easily passed on to outsiders. Only ANBU ninjas with talent in this area and those who made contributions had the opportunity to learn them.

Kabuto Yakushi had naturally learned the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan. Sasuke forced himself to calm down and release his mind, and then Kabuto Yakushi began to seal his memories with the secret techniques.

After a long while, the pharmacist, his forehead covered in sweat, finally breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes.

"Sasuke's mental strength is truly formidable. If it weren't for the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan, he probably wouldn't have been able to achieve this."

After Kabuto Yakushi finished doing all this, Orochimaru, who had been waiting for a long time, excitedly licked his tongue, "Hehehe, Yoru-kun, hurry up and start, I can't wait."

"There are too many secrets about Indra's reincarnation. Once Sasuke awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, his cells will evolve again, restoring the power of the Senju."

"The First Hokage's cells are too powerful. Although Sasuke possesses the chakra of Indra's reincarnation, for safety's sake, we should stimulate Sasuke's Sharingan before injecting the First Hokage's cells."

At this moment, Orochimaru, holding the syringe, looked excitedly at Uchiha Sasuke, who was lying unconscious on the operating table, revealing a fanatical expression.

"The Sharingan, what perfect eyes! When the mind is stimulated, special chakra surges into the brain, acting on the optic nerve and causing changes in the eyes. At this time, I will inject the First Hokage's cells. How perfect! I will witness the power of all things in the universe."

Orochimaru laughed excitedly, while Uchiha Yoru shook his head helplessly. He went directly to Sasuke, and Kabuto Yakushi pushed a vial of injection fluid in front of him.

"Lord Ye, this is a mental stimulant that can excite Sasuke's mental energy and amplify the mental stimulation by three to five times, enhancing the effect."

"good!"

Uchiha Yoru's pupils revealed the appearance of the Mangekyou Sharingan. He stared at Sasuke and instantly activated his genjutsu, his mental energy directly invading Sasuke's brain.

The world of illusion...

In the quiet of the night, Uchiha Sasuke looked around with some suspicion.

"Was I just lost in thought?"

At this moment, Sasuke had returned to the age of about eight. Looking at the quiet clan land, he didn't think much of it.

"They suddenly added extra classes at the last minute, and it's already so late."

"But there should still be people in the tribe's territory at this time, right?"

Eight-year-old Uchiha Sasuke ran towards home with a suspicious look on his face. Although the clan's territory in his memory was somewhat remote and oppressive, it seemed a little too quiet at this moment.

At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha raised his head and looked at the bright moonlight. For some reason, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity, as if he had forgotten something.

But he couldn't remember anything. However, after returning to the clan's territory, the familiar feeling came over him, and Sasuke felt at ease. At this moment, all he wanted was to return home.

As young Uchiha Sasuke walked towards home, he failed to see that the bright moon above his head had transformed into a Mangekyou Sharingan.

Under the crimson full moon, Uchiha Yoru's eyes were fixed on the world constructed by the illusion. Under the gaze of his eye power, a figure appeared on the telephone pole below.

Carrying a ninja sword and dressed in ANBU attire, the moment the eight-character mark appeared on Itachi Uchiha's face, it revealed his cold and indifferent expression.

Please support me.
