"By the way, his right eye is blind," Akaishi emphasized.
"Hmm, that must be due to the use of forbidden Sharingan techniques, or perhaps—overuse of the Mangekyou Sharingan," Kensei analyzed.
"So—that person—" Akaishi had to admit that the old man really was a member of the "Uchiha clan"!
"Judging from the age you mentioned, he must be an old guy from before the founding of Konoha—damn it!" Kensuke cursed—that old bastard, he's such a handful!
Seeing the attitude of Clan Chief Kensuke, Akashi breathed a sigh of relief. At least from this perspective, in Clan Chief Kensuke's knowledge, there was no such person in the Uchiha clan, or even a clan member that old.
In other words, this "Uchiha clan member" is only a bloodline definition; in reality, they are not the same kind of people as the Uchiha clan members in Konoha.
An enemy from the outside is always more reassuring than an enemy from within.
"Indeed, he sounded like he had a grudge against many people in Konoha!" Akaishi couldn't wait to confirm this.
"However, when Konoha Village was established, there was no mention in the family history of anyone leaving—" Lan Yu was still somewhat puzzled at this point.
"In that case—come with us." Jiancheng said, leading Akashi to the "Nanka Shrine" not far from Konoha, which is where the Uchiha clan usually gathers.
Then Jiancheng walked to the innermost part and opened the secret underground chamber—
Inside, there is not only a heritage stone tablet whose contents can only be seen by the Sharingan, but also the family history of the Uchiha clan.
Jiancheng then retrieved a scroll from inside, unsealed it, and handed it to Chishi.
"Find the Eternal Baskin you saw; is it one of these?" Jian Cheng said.
When Akaishi opened the scroll, he found it filled with various patterns of Sharingan!
Upon seeing this, Akaishi's first reaction was surprise—so many?
Akashi immediately realized that, apart from the last ten, the previous ones were all patterns from three hundred years ago.
Akaishi, of course, started by looking at the most recent ones.
As expected, according to the clan's records, there are only three Uchiha with the "Mangekyou Sharingan" in the current era: the "Uchiha Three Treasures". This is relatively high in history - thanks to the previous ten years of civil war!
Akaishi looked around the whole way —
"Huh?" Akashi suddenly paused.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Jiancheng asked hurriedly.
"It's somewhat similar to this—but not quite the same," Akaishi said regretfully, pointing to a pair of kaleidoscope-patterned shoes from over three hundred years ago.
It is said to be "a long time ago", but in fact, the pattern on these eyes was empty for three hundred years on Uchiha Madara.
"This person—well, let's check his direct descendants later," Jiancheng nodded.
It seems that from the very beginning, Jiancheng wanted to use the similar Tomoe mark to trace the descendants, after all—that old man sounded older than Uchiha Madara, but no Mangekyou Sharingan was born during that time.
It seems that while the markings on the Tomoe of the Mangekyou Sharingan are different for everyone, people with similar bloodlines may have some similarities.
"Clan chief, clan elders, why—there are no records for the three hundred years in between?" Chishi asked, puzzled.
"Because during that period, the Naga Shrine was lost and the Uchiha clan moved north, a lot of their family history and heritage were lost, including this stone tablet. Later, more than ten years after the establishment of Konoha, the Uchiha and Hagoromo clans were employed by the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning and fought a great war against the Senju clan, who were employed by the Land of Fire."
"The Hagoromo clan was not weak at the time either. During that period, the two clans joined forces to conquer a large area of land, and even the ancestors reclaimed their clan lands—until Madara Uchiha awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and discovered these relics left by the ancestors beneath the ruins of the Naga Shrine," Kensei explained.
Akaishi was certainly aware of this part of his family's history.
This was the first time Akashi had learned about the Nanga Shrine. Previously, in Akashi's mind, the Nanga Shrine was rebuilt by the Uchiha clan after they returned to their homeland.
This explains why there hadn't been a single one for three hundred years, but after Madara awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, they immediately sprang up like mushrooms after rain, with one or two appearing in each generation. And that inscribed stone tablet that didn't record good deeds was discovered!
Then, seeing that Chi Shi was still gazing longingly at the patterns on the scroll, Lan Yu couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"
"Ah—Elder Lan Yu, look here—can the Mangekyou Sharingan mutate? Madara's Mangekyou Sharingan—" Akaishi asked, pointing to Madara's eye, the only one with two different patterns.
Jian Cheng and Lan Yu fell silent again upon hearing this.
Akaishi looked up at the two of them.
Jian Cheng shook his head and said, "Fine, I'll tell you then. You're an orphan anyway."
Akaashi:? ? ?
"There is only one way to get the Mangekyou Sharingan without side effects: take the eyes of a blood relative, preferably a brother, who also has the Mangekyou Sharingan. This way, you can get the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and avoid any additional backlashes." Jiancheng revealed this secret.
Akaishi:————
No wonder the orphan knew; he must be afraid—hmm? Wait a minute—
"? So if both brothers have the Mangekyou Sharingan, they can just swap eyes, right?"
Akaishi said matter-of-factly.
Unfortunately, Chi Shi's cleverness was of little use. Jian Cheng shook his head and said, "Of course not. This kind of transplant requires completely absorbing the other person's pupil power, leaving only a pair of eyes without any pupil power."
Okay, then it's fine.
Akashi now feels that the Uchiha clan's method of using this ability is purely for causing trouble!
Doesn't this encourage close relatives to kill each other?
In some ways, this is easier than "killing your dearest loved ones."
After all, the target of attention is only someone who is close by blood, not necessarily someone who is closest to you emotionally.
If an Uchiha kills their beloved to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, they will almost certainly turn their attention to their closest relatives afterward.
What's even more crucial is that this thing is written on the heritage stone tablet. During the Sanba period, you can see the contents of the kaleidoscope, and during the kaleidoscope period, you can see the contents of the eternal kaleidoscope.
Even if a clan leader or elder wants to end it, they have no reason to refuse other clan members from seeing the inheritance stele; otherwise, they can expect another civil war!
"Those—Uchiha Madara's eyes—" Akaishi had already guessed it.
After all, Madara Uchiha's second Mangekyou Sharingan Tomoe mark looks like a combination of his original Tomoe mark and Izuna's Tomoe mark!
Jiancheng nodded and said, "That's right. During the Battle of Namaka River, Tobirama Senju severely injured Izuna Uchiha. After that, Madara Uchiha took Izuna away. When the clansmen saw him again, he was already like this."
"The Battle of Namaka River?" Akaishi was taken aback upon hearing this.
Upon hearing this, Jian Cheng felt somewhat embarrassed, but Lan Yu directly said, "It was the battle in which the Uchiha clan lost to the Senju clan. In fact, after that battle, many members of the clan no longer wanted to fight the Senju clan."
Akaishi was then taken away from the Nanga Shrine.
It wasn't until Akaishi returned to his room that his heart started pounding—yes, he had lied.
The familiar face he saw was not that of the old senior from over three hundred years ago, but rather—Uchiha Madara!
The old man's left eye, the Tomoe markings, are exactly the same as Madara Uchiha's later Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan Tomoe markings!
If no two kaleidoscopes in the world are the same —
Furthermore, Akaishi later heard a familiar name from Chief Kensuke: the Battle of Namaka River.
At the time, after attacking Lanwu, the old man seemed to mutter something like "What a fine sword," or "What a great battle of Nanga River."
Because Akaishi didn't remember anything about the "Battle of Namka River," he didn't have much of an impression of it at the time, until he heard the name again.
-
After calming himself down, Akashi went to the clan's library to borrow books and carefully investigated the matter.
So that's what they're talking about—the battle in which Uchiha Izuna died, the battle that was the greatest defeat for the Uchiha clan. No wonder I've never heard anyone mention it before, and the ninja academy doesn't teach it.
That battle took place along the banks of the Naka River, not far from where Konoha Village is now located—the waterfall of the End Valley is the source of the Naka River within the Land of Fire.
It was in that battle that Uchiha Izuna was killed by Senju Tobirama. Then Uchiha Madara took Izuna away, and the remaining clansmen were naturally routed. With their morale collapsing, they were captured in large numbers by the Senju clan.
The so-called "decisive battle" that took place in Konoha's current location was actually predictable to everyone. Madara Uchiha had far fewer followers by then, and many of his clansmen had already surrendered and did not appear on the battlefield.
Thinking back to what Chief Jiancheng had said earlier—
It is likely that during the final battle, Madara Uchiha displayed the "Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan," but was still defeated by Hashirama Senju—this point was not written. All records related to the Mangekyou Sharingan were erased by the Uchiha clan. Normally, there is only one way to obtain information, which is through the heritage stone tablet at the Naka Shrine.
By this point, most of the Uchiha clan members had lost their will to fight.
From this, Akaishi also understood—
The "rebels" of that time were simply dissatisfied with the status quo, which is why they reminisced about Uchiha Madara!
It's one thing to be unable to defeat Hashirama Senju, but the key issue is—
What is there to admire about a guy who "sold out" all his people on the battlefield, escaped with his younger brother, and is even suspected of stealing his brother's eyes?
In this light, it's understandable that no one followed Madara Uchiha when he left.
As for the rebels like Uchiha Setsuna, they were all young and born around the time of the founding of Konoha. They didn't know how terrible Uchiha Madara was. They only glorified Uchiha Madara in their hearts because they were dissatisfied with Senju Tobirama, and thus made him a role model for worship!
At the same time, Akaishi also realized something even more important—
Akaishi clearly saw in the records that Uchiha Izuna died from Senju Tobirama's "Flying Thunder God Slash". At that time, Senju Tobirama instantly teleported to Uchiha Izuna's side and severely injured his left waist!
The passage then uses a blank space—clearly, even the person recording it was unsure whether Izuna "died of his injuries" or "died from eye-stealing."
However, Akaishi already knew the answer he wanted—
The same pattern as the Eternal Kaleidoscope's Tomoe pattern was used, and it specifically targeted Ranmai's left waist—
That person was Uchiha Madara!
