The scroll felt unexpectedly delicate to the touch, like stroking the finest silk.
The beginning briefly explained the origins of the Uchiha clan.
Following that was the evolutionary path of the Sharingan, detailing everything from the one-tomoe to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
This information was crucial for the natives, but as a transmigrator, Senya knew it in even greater detail than Uchiha Setsuna.
To Senya personally, it wasn’t as practical as the numerous Sharingan techniques detailed later on.
It even recorded the stage transformations of the Susanoo and precautions for its use.
Senya’s gaze continued downward, his eyes revealing astonishment.
“Elder Setsuna, are the weapons sealed within this the legendary Three Sacred Treasures?!” Uchiha Setsuna stroked his beard, looking pleased with himself, and nodded with a smile.
“Exactly.
They are the Three Sacred Treasures, the exclusive divine weapons of the Susanoo.” “The Totsuka Blade that can directly seal souls, the Yata Mirror that defends against all physical attacks, and the Yasakani no Magatama that pierces through everything!” Senya finally understood why Itachi’s Susanoo possessed the Three Sacred Treasures; it turned out they came from the clan!
He remembered that in the original work, because Uchiha Itachi lacked chakra, the Three Sacred Treasures rarely made an appearance.
Now that the scroll was in his hands, it meant they were destined for him!
“They have no physical form.
They can only be used after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan.” Uchiha Setsuna sighed inwardly.
He had previously thought Uchiha Itachi was the most likely in the clan to awaken the Mangekyo, and had even prepared to entrust the clan’s true secret legacy to him.
To think that the clan’s careful cultivation had raised an ungrateful wretch!
Senya nodded and said sincerely, “Please rest assured, Elder Setsuna.
I will keep them safe.
If any clan member awakens the Mangekyo, I will carefully entrust these to their new master.” Uchiha Setsuna stroked his beard and chuckled.
“If you can awaken the Mangekyo, they will belong to you.” Awakening the Mangekyo was incredibly difficult for other Uchihas.
But for Senya, he just needed to grind relentlessly and it would be done!
He, Uchiha Senya, lacked many things, but he certainly didn’t lack the drive to grind.
He was practically a grinding machine.
By the way, the feeling of snatching Uchiha Itachi’s divine weapons…
was simply too exhilarating!
In a delightful mood, Senya continued reading.
The contents of the latter half were roughly what he expected.
It recorded the premium ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, and kenjutsu collected by the Uchiha clan.
It even touched upon fuinjutsu.
The final two were forbidden jutsu: Izanami and Izanagi.
It was safe to say that even if the Uchiha suffered a devastating blow, as long as they took this scroll and hid in some corner of the world for a decade or two, they would emerge as a formidable force once again.
Senya patiently finished reading and said, “Elder Setsuna, I want to train in Izanagi to prevent Danzo from escaping.” The price for using Izanami and Izanagi was the complete blindness of one eye.
But as long as it could kill Danzo, it was worth it!
Furthermore, he could take the opportunity to retrieve Shisui’s eye from Danzo.
After transplanting Shisui’s eye, he would be able to restore his sight.
Killing two birds with one stone.
As for awakening his own pair of Mangekyo later, he could resolve that using the ninja world’s highly developed cloning technology.
Uchiha Setsuna shook his head.
“You are still very young, and your life has just officially begun.
It would be a pity for you to become a one-eyed man.
Leave this to me.
Besides, I can also transplant Shisui’s eye.” “Elder Setsuna…” Senya was momentarily speechless, only able to put on a moved expression.
Uchiha Setsuna stood with his hands behind his back, his spine perfectly straight, and said calmly, “I am a clan elder.
There is no reason to sacrifice the younger generation.
Say no more; I have already made my decision.” He changed the subject.
“You just mentioned retrieving Shisui’s eye.
What do you plan to do after that?
Use it to control Sarutobi Hiruzen?” Senya nodded, speaking contrary to his true thoughts.
“Yes.
As long as we can control Sarutobi Hiruzen, not only will the clan survive the threat of annihilation, but we might even have a chance to rise higher!” His true plan was actually to retrieve Shisui’s right eye from Danzo, use it to control Uchiha Itachi, and then get his hands on Shisui’s left eye.
Only then would it be Sarutobi Hiruzen’s turn.
The reason for such a convoluted, multi-layered scheme was simply because Kotoamatsukami was too terrifying.
Its effects were permanent.
Senya had no desire to get hit by the Kotoamatsukami in Uchiha Itachi’s possession and have his will permanently altered.
The crux of the problem was that he couldn’t reveal this information to Uchiha Setsuna.
That was why he had previously insisted so adamantly that Shimura Danzo had taken both of Shisui’s eyes.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain why one of the eyes was with Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Setsuna would definitely think: Didn’t you say Uchiha Shisui was killed by Danzo?
Then why is only one of Shisui’s eyes with Danzo, while the other ended up with Uchiha Itachi?
Judging others by oneself, if he were Shimura Danzo, he would never tolerate such a devastating weapon falling into someone else’s hands.
In every way, Senya’s narrative would have logical holes.
Despite Uchiha Setsuna appearing easy to talk to, that was only because their relationship was fundamentally built upon the impending annihilation of the Uchiha clan.
He hoped to use Senya’s intellect to survive this crisis.
Senya also needed to leverage the authority Uchiha Setsuna had accumulated within the clan.
The two of them had no deep emotional foundation; their alliance could not withstand scrutiny.
Once the seed of doubt was planted, it would be almost impossible to receive his full support like he did now.
If Senya lost Uchiha Setsuna’s full backing, turning the tables would be incredibly difficult.
‘I have to find a way to get my hands on the eye Danzo has!’ Since it concerned his own life, Senya would not compromise.
To take, one must first give!
Senya took the initiative to ask, “Elder Setsuna, would it be feasible to use Kotoamatsukami to control the Fire Daimyo?” Uchiha Setsuna paled in shock.
He hadn’t expected Senya to be so audacious.
Not satisfied with controlling Sarutobi Hiruzen, he was actually scheming against the Fire Daimyo!
“No…” Uchiha Setsuna subconsciously refused.
But soon, he realized that Senya’s idea had a lot of potential!
If they could use Kotoamatsukami to control the Fire Daimyo…
Then, he would achieve what none of his predecessors had managed to do—making the Uchiha clan the rulers of a nation!
He would usher in a brand new era!
His name would be remembered by everyone forever!!
A mix of nervousness and excitement mingled on his face, giving him an indescribably twisted and bizarre look.
Uchiha Setsuna’s chest heaved violently once again; the blood pressure medication he had just taken wasn’t holding up!
After taking more medication, he calmed down and shook his head.
“It would be very difficult.
The Fire Daimyo periodically has people check to ensure he isn’t being controlled.” Senya wasn’t disappointed.
He had deliberately said this to bait the hook.
Now, his goal had been achieved!
Senya sighed with a look of regret.
“I thought we could control him.” Uchiha Setsuna felt equally regretful.
“We’ll talk about it later.
There will always be opportunities, as long as we can retrieve Shisui’s Sharingan!” Right now, Uchiha Setsuna was absolutely determined to get Shisui’s eyes!
He proactively asked, “In what areas do you need my cooperation?” After a few seconds of silence, Senya said, “Elder Setsuna, we first need to determine if Shimura Danzo has used Kotoamatsukami on anyone else.”
