“How did Grandfather know?”
Ruofeng was puzzled.
What had happened at school had somehow already reached his grandfather.
Thus, Ruofeng sat in his small living room, eating magical beast meat while looking at his grandfather across from him with curiosity.
Grandfather smiled kindly.
“Of course I know!
Many of the teachers at the Ninja Academy were students I supported back then.
Your teacher, Yamada, was one of them.
“After school, Yamada personally came to see me and told me everything that happened to you today.”
Ruofeng looked at him strangely.
“Grandfather… Just how many people have you supported? Even the teachers at the Ninja Academy are among them!”
Grandfather smiled.
“Quite a lot.
In the future, these people will all be able to help you.
“But even I didn’t expect your ability to awaken so quickly.
“Then again, the ability of my clan is actually quite simple. Once a person’s spiritual power reaches a certain level, awakening it becomes relatively easy.”
At this, curiosity appeared in Ruofeng’s eyes.
“Grandfather…
What exactly is this ability?
“Sensory abilities basically have no offensive power, so why does mine seem somewhat different?”
Grandfather smiled kindly.
“That should be the power of emotions.
It is also a special kind of mental-pressure genjutsu.
“You should know that ordinary genjutsu relies on a person’s spiritual power.
The stronger someone’s spiritual power, the more powerful their genjutsu.
“Of course, certain special bloodline limits are an exception.
“My clan’s ability is simple.
We transform spiritual power into sensory abilities.
Once spiritual power reaches a certain level, those sensory abilities can change along with a person’s emotions, producing a special kind of mental pressure that affects other people’s emotions.
“Simply put, the ability of my clan allows spiritual power to change according to emotions.
“Those changes can even be used to create special techniques.
“Unfortunately, throughout the history of my clan, only a handful of people have ever been able to transform their sensory abilities into emotional genjutsu.
“And achieving that requires terrifying spiritual power.
“Improving spiritual power is an extremely difficult task.
“I truly didn’t expect you to reach this stage, Ruofeng. Perhaps as you grow and your spiritual power becomes stronger, you will eventually comprehend this emotional genjutsu!”
Grandfather was visibly excited.
After all, someone had finally inherited his clan’s abilities, and Ruofeng had even surpassed him in some respects.
Ruofeng smiled.
“I didn’t expect Grandfather’s clan to have such an extraordinary ability either. Turning emotions into genjutsu… It really is fascinating.”
As he ate the magical beast meat, Ruofeng carefully thought back to what had happened in the classroom that day.
So that was what had happened.
His emotions had drawn out his spiritual power and transformed it into a special kind of genjutsu, causing those students to feel fear.
Night fell.
Ruofeng stepped into his bedroom and looked toward the corner.
Grandfather had already left, still carrying a happy expression after witnessing Ruofeng awaken his clan’s ability.
Ruofeng stared at the corner.
“Although Grandfather’s clan ability is pretty good, it’s nowhere near the Sharingan.
“And that emotional genjutsu requires powerful spiritual power to support it.
My current spiritual power simply isn’t enough.
“I should take a look at what Uchiha Madara left behind first.”
Ever since learning about the secret hidden inside this corner yesterday, Ruofeng had been unable to resist exploring it.
Tonight, he would finally examine what was hidden here.
After all, these were the things Uchiha Madara had left behind.
Ruofeng formed hand seals and guided the chakra within his body.
“Release!”
With a soft shout, a passage instantly appeared in the corner of the room.
Opening the passage consumed very little chakra, so Ruofeng had more than enough to sustain it.
He stared at the passage before slowly walking inside.
As he entered, candlelight appeared once again, illuminating the path ahead.
Before long, Ruofeng reached the secret chamber he had visited the previous day.
“Given how powerful Uchiha Madara was, anything he left behind should be extraordinary.
“I just don’t know what he left behind, or whether any of it will be useful to me.”
Ruofeng muttered to himself as his eyes landed on a scroll covered in dust.
There were only three scrolls inside this secret chamber.
His grandfather had already told him about two of them.
The first had been personally written by Uchiha Madara.
The second contained the inheritance passed down through the main line of the Uchiha clan.
As for the third, even his grandfather didn’t know what was inside.
Apart from the scrolls, there were also weapons and battle armor.
Ruofeng had no interest in those.
After all, the true legendary weapons had already been taken away by Uchiha Madara.
Ruofeng stepped forward and stared at the scroll written by Madara.
He gently brushed away the dust, revealing the writing beneath. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
The characters were arrogant and carried an extraordinary domineering presence.
After a while, Ruofeng finally looked away from the scroll.
“Whew… How should I put this?”
Ruofeng gave a bitter smile.
“As expected of Uchiha Madara. Even the things he recorded are profound and powerful.”
The scroll truly deserved to have been written personally by Madara.
Every technique recorded within it was extraordinary.
Ruofeng spread the scroll open.
“Sage techniques, Fire Release, Lightning Release, Yin Release…
Every one of them is incredibly powerful.
“Unfortunately, they’re all overwhelmingly powerful techniques.
Any one of them could become a signature technique for a shinobi.
“But for someone who has only just begun refining chakra, this is basically a heavenly scripture!”
Ruofeng was helpless.
There were many techniques recorded in the scroll, but most were simply too advanced, while some were forbidden techniques.
How could Ruofeng possibly cultivate them now?
Holding the scroll in his hands was practically like holding a book written in an entirely different language.
Beyond those techniques, the scroll also contained information about Sage Mode, Wood Release techniques, Yin Release, and even the Impure World Reincarnation.
In other words, the scroll personally written by Uchiha Madara didn’t contain a single simple technique.
Any one of them might be beyond the ability of an ordinary Jonin to master.
Ruofeng narrowed his eyes and carefully rolled the scroll back up.
“I can’t cultivate these techniques right now.
I’ll worry about them later.
“These advanced techniques probably aren’t recorded anywhere in Konoha either.
“After all, this is Madara’s research.
He even recorded explanations and theories regarding the First Hokage’s Sage Mode.
“Once I become stronger, this scroll will become incredibly valuable.”
Ruofeng carefully put Madara’s scroll away.
It was useless to him for now, but it would be extremely valuable in the future.
After storing the scroll written by Uchiha Madara, Ruofeng turned his attention to the other scroll.
This was the inheritance scroll belonging to the main line of the Uchiha clan.
It could be considered one of the most precious inheritances of the entire Uchiha clan.
Ruofeng picked it up.
“I hope the things inside are a little simpler. Otherwise, they won’t be useful to me either.”
He slowly opened the scroll.
A strange look appeared in Ruofeng’s eyes.
