Projection magicians starting from the Uchiha clan

He began to reflect on his mistakes, regardless of whether he would repeat them in the future, but at least he had begun to reflect on them now.

Iori nodded, then said seriously, "Then, it's time to use your newfound power. Use it on me, your spiral sword!"

Shisui picked up the Spiral Sword in his hand, and the Spiral Sword began to spin wildly, with chakra constantly gathering towards the sword.

Lightning, gales, and flames swirled within, shaking even the earth and sky.

The weapon vibrated wildly in his hand. Shisui gripped it tightly, preparing to swing it at Iori.

Iori watched Shisui's movements and took Excalibur from the treasury.

He raised the holy sword and said, "Gathering star breath, shimmering life current, take this, Excalibur."

A sacred golden light emanated from the holy sword in his hand, shooting towards the sky, piercing through the clouds and allowing sunlight to stream down through the beam.

After converging the light of the holy sword, Iori swung the sword down, and a huge beam of light shot out from the sword in his hand.

Seeing this, Shisui also swung his spiral sword, which was crackling with flames and gales, and shot it toward Iori's light cannon.

The two energy pillars collided, but instead of exploding, a strange stalemate ensued.

After a brief stalemate, the lightning was gradually pushed back by the light cannon.

The windmills in Shisui's eyes spun wildly, their pupil power surging forth and flowing into the lightning: "I will prove that I am worthy to be your power, Spiral Sword, spin!"

With the support of his eye power, the lightning grew increasingly violent, gradually managing to withstand Iori's light cannon.

Upon seeing this, Iori briefly activated Sage Mode, channeling Sage Chakra into the Holy Sword.

"Feel the light of the stars!" With Iori exerting his power again, the beam cannon shattered the lightning and hit Susanoo.

With a violent explosion, dust filled the sky, and Susanoo vanished without a trace.

Sensing that Shisui's chakra was weakening, Iori walked towards him.

When Iori walked up to Shisui, he saw him lying on the ground unconscious, with two streaks of bloody tears in his eyes, but no obvious injuries on his body.

However, the full-scale use and destruction of Susanoo caused considerable damage to his Mangekyou Sharingan.

He took out his Noble Phantasm and began to heal him. As the golden light faded, Shisui's physical condition slowly returned to the level before the battle.

After the treatment ended, Iori quickly took Shisui away from the scene. The commotion they caused was too great, and even though Iori had deliberately moved far away from Konoha, it was probably difficult to keep it a secret.

Soon after, several members of the Anbu appeared at the scene. Iori's beam cannon was so eye-catching that the Anbu quickly came to investigate.

Chapter 87 Uchiha Setsuna, you don't want the Uchiha clan to decline under your leadership, do you? (Seeking first subscription)

The members of the secret service moved through the wrecked scene, their expressions serious and their eyes sharp, carefully searching for every possible clue.

The surrounding land was in ruins, riddled with cracks, with fallen trees, a scene of utter devastation.

After a careful search, the secret agents unexpectedly discovered items that Shisui had used.

They treasured these items and carefully collected them, bringing them back to the Dark Side base. They hoped to find some clues to unravel the mystery of the battle.

These items were left behind by Shisui when he came here alone to train before the Third Shinobi World War. At that time, Iori had already gone to the Land of Earth and was unaware of this.

Shisui, not caring about these items, did not specifically remind Iori.

On the way back to the clan's territory, Shisui awoke from his coma.

Iori looked at him and said with satisfaction, "Very good. Your ability to construct the spiral sword has also helped me prove something, which has been a great help to me."

"Your strength has also improved significantly, and I have achieved both of my objectives."

Shisui scratched his head, a shy smile appearing on his face: "I still have to thank Iori-nii. I feel like I could beat two of me right now."

Iori smiled and said, "There's still a long time ahead. I won't stop here. Shisui, as my right-hand man, you can't slack off."

"If you want to follow me in building a new world, your strength is still a bit lacking. Keep getting stronger," Iori encouraged Shisui.

Shisui nodded seriously: "I will continue to work hard, Iori-nii."

After parting ways with Shisui, Iori returned to his residence. Shisui's successful deconstruction of the Spiral Sword confirmed his suspicions.

My projection magic is indeed a creation of Yin Release, and it's also related to the Sharingan.

But it's different from the projection magic I imagined, which unilaterally creates a kaleidoscope.

[The Kaleidoscope Sharingan is actually enhancing my projection magic.]

In other words, using Sage Chakra and further developing the Sharingan can further enhance the power or duration of the projection.

[In the main story, Sasuke's Sage Mode Susanoo was actually quite crude, because Sasuke didn't know Sage Mode and relied entirely on Naruto's power for assistance.]

Iori recalled the main storyline and found that there were almost no development ideas in this area.

At that time, only Sasuke Uchiha survived, but he did not have the talent for Sage Mode. His Sage Mode Susanoo was just a flash in the pan and had no further development.

I can use Sage Mode and Susanoo simultaneously; I'll have to see if I can combine them to develop some more powerful techniques.

[The Sage Arts of Ryuchi Cave, Mount Myoboku, and the Marsh Valley have benefited me greatly. Their Sage Arts should also be helpful to me, at least I can learn by analogy.]

Iori's Sage Mode, though sophisticated, is actually not applicable to any other techniques. Just like Hashirama's, it was purely a personal achievement and lacked universality.

Moreover, since it is self-created, it lacks many details and tricks. If he could obtain the sage techniques of Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave, his research progress could be greatly accelerated.

As evening approached, Iori organized her thoughts and recorded these valuable reflections in a mental notebook.

After finishing her meal, Iori fell asleep again and headed to Valhalla.

He wanted to discuss with Medea the connection between the Sharingan and projection magic.

-----------------

The next day, as the morning light shone, Iori got up early and began to tidy her clothes and prepare the words to persuade Uchiha Setsuna.

Although there will most likely be a fight in the end, and everything will be decided by strength, we still need to prepare a pie in the sky.

Shisui also rushed from his own home, ready to accompany Iori to Uchiha Setsuna's residence.

As a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, his position within the Uchiha clan is quite delicate.

As a leading figure of the moderate faction, he did not have a harmonious relationship with the radical faction of the Grand Elder's lineage.

However, due to the relative unity within the Uchiha clan, although there were disagreements between the two sides, there were never any escalating conflicts.

Shisui led Iori through the clan's territory and into the Grand Elder's residence.

Near the mansion, several radical Uchiha clan members noticed Iori's arrival and watched with excitement as this hero returned from the battlefield of the Land of Wind.

Iori's deeds have become deeply ingrained in people's minds thanks to the propaganda of the ninjas who returned from the battlefield in the Land of Wind, and some people have even compared him to the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.

Furthermore, rumors circulated that Iori had awakened the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan, making the Uchiha clan idolize him and see him as the next Madara Uchiha.

When Iori saw Uchiha Setsuna, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The old man before him was gaunt and had a gloomy demeanor, far removed from the image of the Uchiha clan elder he had expected.

"Hehe, I'm curious, why did you come to find me, Iori-kun? You should know, I'm a radical through and through."

Uchiha Setsuna's voice was hoarse and deep, carrying a hint of gloom.

At a time like this, you come to see me so openly; what is your purpose?

He continued to ask, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, clearly curious about Iori's purpose in coming.

In the past, he tried to seize power from the Senju clan, but ultimately failed and was imprisoned by the Second Hokage.

During World War II, he was released, redeemed himself through meritorious service, and was eventually exonerated and regained his freedom.

He became the Grand Elder based on his own strength, seniority, and merits.

He gathered a group of radical clansmen dissatisfied with the status quo, forming a sharp opposition with the moderates led by Uchiha Kagami.

It's only because of insufficient strength that they've been holding back their efforts.

Facing the shrewd and calculating elder, Iori frankly expressed his ambition:

"I want to become the head of the Uchiha clan and then the Fifth Hokage. I hope to get the support of the Grand Elder."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Setsuna's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again.

"Do you really think you can become Hokage?"

"The current three Hokage are all from the Senju lineage, and the future Fourth Hokage will either be one of the Legendary Sannin or Minato Namikaze, who is also from the Senju lineage. What makes you think you can become the Fifth Hokage?"

Uchiha Setsuna, true to his background in intrigue and coups, possessed an incredibly keen sense of smell. From the Third Hokage's series of policies, he deduced that he might be pushing Minato Namikaze into power.

Iori did not directly answer Setsuna's question, but instead said to him, "My purpose is not to ask for your support, but to hope that after I defeat Uchiha Fugaku, you will not oppose my ascension to the position."

"As for how I became the Fifth Hokage, that's my secret. Secrets can be dangerous if they're not kept, and I believe you can understand that."

"Konoha is slowly boiling the frog. The later the change, the more dangerous it will be for the Uchiha clan. Elder, you don't want the Uchiha clan to decline under your leadership, do you?"

Iori further exerted psychological pressure, his words directly addressing Setsuna's greatest concern—that the Uchiha clan would completely lose their will to resist and ultimately be absorbed by Konoha.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Setsuna gave Iori a deep look.

Finally, he slowly spoke: "Then I will wait and see. If you can defeat Fugaku fairly and squarely, then I will not object to your ascension to the throne."

“I am old now, the future belongs to you. Once you are ready, I will preside over the clan meeting for you.”

Chapter 88 Elder Uchiha Setsuna and the Imminent Clan Assembly

After confirming their mutual feelings, Uchiha Iori did not take his leave immediately, but continued to chat.

The two sides tacitly agreed not to continue discussing the issue of the clan leader, but instead began to discuss the situation of the Uchiha clan.

The atmosphere between the two sides was harmonious, and the conversation ended with both sides jointly cursing the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

After the conversation ended, Iori took his leave with Shisui. As they left the Elder's residence, he glanced back, shook his head, and thought:

[What a cunning old fox! He's so meticulous, talking for ages but unwilling to offer any real support; he's just standing by, watching the fight unfold.]

However, he is indeed an Uchiha supremacist and doesn't care about his own rights; otherwise, he wouldn't have tacitly allowed the fight between me and Fugaku.

Iori sighed, regardless of whether he was a good person or not, he was a good elder.

Uchiha Setsuna remained alone in the room for a long time without moving. He stared at the spot where Iori had been sitting and suddenly let out a sinister laugh.

"Very good. Ambitious, powerful, skillful, and popular. Could you be the one I've been waiting for?"

He laughed instantly, a laugh that revealed a hint of satisfaction and anticipation.

He seemed to see in Iori the qualities he longed for, the qualities that the former clan leader, Madara Uchiha, possessed.
