“This is the guardian deity known as the God of Destruction.
It can withstand the full force of an S Rank ninjutsu and possesses destructive power comparable to a Tailed Beast.
It is also the very reason the Uchiha are known as the descendants of the gods.” Shinsuke’s tone suddenly turned solemn.
“But this power carries a fatal curse.
Because our bloodline is incomplete, every bit of Mangekyō ocular power we use is gone forever.
It can barely recover on its own.
The day our ocular power is completely exhausted, every one of us will face the same ending.” He looked at everyone before saying each word slowly.
“Blindness.” The forest fell into deathly silence.
Blindness.
Those two words were like an icy blade driven straight into every Uchiha’s heart.
For the Uchiha, whose Sharingan was their bloodline, their pride, and the foundation of everything they were, losing their eyesight was far crueler than death itself.
At that moment, everyone understood.
They finally understood why Fugaku had endured in silence for more than a decade despite awakening the Mangekyō long ago.
Why he had allowed the clan to mistake him for weak.
Why he had tolerated Konoha’s constant oppression without revealing his true strength.
Even with Kage level power, every battle came at the cost of his own sight.
Once his ocular power ran dry, he would become prey for anyone stronger than him.
This power had never been a blessing.
It was poison wrapped in honey.
The excitement gradually faded from the faces of the clan members, leaving behind only bitterness and unwillingness.
Some clenched their fists until their nails dug into their palms, yet not a single groan escaped their lips.
“Is…
is there really no way to change this?” Uchiha Tekka stepped forward, unwillingness burning in his eyes as he looked at Shinsuke.
He had witnessed the world shattering power of Susano’o with his own eyes.
Now that he knew the price behind that power, it felt as though a burning coal had been lodged in his chest.
Shinsuke suddenly chuckled.
Holding the scroll in his hand, he lightly tapped Tekka’s arm.
“Come on, Uncle Tekka.
At least give me time to finish.
I never said this was impossible to solve.” “Huh?
There’s really a solution?” The moment those words were spoken, even the usually composed Uchiha Ye stepped forward in shock.
Shinsuke shook the scroll in his hand and raised an eyebrow with a smile.
“Otherwise, why do you think I went through so much trouble to have you raid Root Headquarters and steal this?
For fun?” “Hashirama’s Cells?” Uchiha Yakumi blurted out as his pupils contracted.
“Exactly.” Shinsuke nodded and tapped the sealing marks on the scroll.
“The ancestors of the Senju Clan and the Uzumaki Clan were both descended from Ōtsutsuki Asura, the younger brother of our ancestor Indra.” “Our ancestor Indra inherited the Sage of Six Paths’ Sage Eyes and followed the path of Yin Release.” “Asura inherited the Sage’s body and followed the path of Yang Release.” “The most terrifying aspect of the Sage Body is its nearly immortal regenerative ability and its natural affinity for sensing natural energy.” He paused before looking around at the attentive crowd.
“As the old saying goes, Yin alone cannot create life, and Yang alone cannot flourish.” “The Uchiha Sharingan represents the pinnacle of Yin Release, while the Senju Sage Body stands at the peak of Yang Release.” “The two originated from the same source and naturally complement each other.” “Hashirama Senju was Asura’s reincarnation.
His Sage Body was hardly inferior to Asura’s own.
His cells can dramatically enhance a person’s physique, chakra reserves, and regenerative ability.
They can even allow an ordinary person to touch the threshold of natural energy.” At this point, Shinsuke raised his voice, making every word strike directly into the hearts of the clan.
“But for the Uchiha, the most important thing is this.” “Hashirama’s Cells can awaken our bloodline and stimulate the evolution of the Sharingan.” “For the Mangekyō Sharingan in particular, they can completely repair the flaws in our bloodline, allowing depleted ocular power to recover naturally and permanently breaking the curse of blindness.” A chorus of sharp gasps echoed throughout the clearing.
The despair weighing on everyone’s hearts was swept away in an instant.
Several people clenched their fists, their breathing becoming heavy as hope reignited in their eyes.
Looking at their reactions, Shinsuke smiled faintly before continuing.
“More importantly, our Three Tomoe Sharingan naturally suppresses the backlash of Hashirama’s Cells.” “Unlike outsiders who are consumed by the cells after transplantation and reduced to little more than a pile of flesh, the Uchiha have a success rate that’s far higher.” “Of course, that only applies to those who have already awakened the Mangekyō.” He changed the subject.
“The Three Tomoe Sharingan still isn’t strong enough to fully suppress Hashirama’s Cells.
We’ll have to optimize and modify the cells first, and thoroughly understand them before it’s safe to transplant them into everyone else.” “That’s enough for now.
It’s still too early to discuss those matters.” “The priority is to figure out our current situation.” Seeing the excitement and fanaticism spreading through the clan once again, Shinsuke brought everyone’s attention back to reality.
His voice remained calm, yet carried unquestionable authority.
Fugaku nodded.
“Shinsuke, you chose this destination.
Do you know where we are now?” “I do.” Shinsuke nodded slightly.
“This is no longer the shinobi world we came from.
This world is dominated by an endless ocean dotted with countless islands.
Every island has its own culture and its own rules.
Its territory is far larger than the shinobi world.” He paused briefly.
“The people here possess unbelievably powerful physiques.
The strongest among them can even withstand our S Rank ninjutsu head on.” “In addition, this world has its own unique power system called Haki.
I haven’t fully understood its methods of cultivation yet.” The moment the System fully activated, he had already learned the name of this world.
The World of One Piece.
A vast world surrounded by endless seas and made up of countless islands.
Its bizarre Devil Fruits, monsters who had tempered their bodies to unimaginable heights, and the unique power known as Haki formed the foundation of this world.
The only thing he still didn’t know was exactly which sea they had arrived in, or which island they were standing on.
That would have to wait until they explored it themselves.
With that thought, Shinsuke turned toward Fugaku.
“Uncle, please lead the clan in clearing the nearby forest.
We need temporary shelters and a proper camp first.” ━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❤️ Enjoying the Story?
