Divine Artifact: Yata Mirror

Sokai himself did not notice anything unusual. His emotions rose and fell with the scenes in the Genjutsu Space, and finally returned to calm with the death of the Genjutsu Space's master.

However, at this moment, Yichen's attention was no longer on Sokai, but on the two things that appeared in the following scene.

"So it was the Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror," Yichen thought to himself. "It seems that Itachi Uchiha obtained his two divine weapons here in the original story."

"So, it seems that I and Sokai might not be in the Sharingan Genjutsu space right now, but rather in the Totsuka Blade's Sealed Space."

"How do we get out? This Sealed Space should contain the will of that Uchiha; he's waiting for a descendant of the Uchiha Clan. He shouldn't have trapped Sokai here to death; he should have released him."

"But what about me? Will I be sealed in the Totsuka Blade forever?" Yichen panicked.

Forcing himself to calm down, Yichen began to analyze why he was able to get in. It must be his Mind's Eye. When Obito awakened his Mangekyo, his Mind's Eye changed.

The Second Tsuchikage Mu's ability to unintentionally resonate with this Genjutsu Space was likely due to his Mind's Eye.

This time, it was probably the resonance between my Mind's Eye and the other dimension that brought me here. However, this time I probably hitched a ride on the coattails of my Sokai.

Since that's the case, Yichen stepped forward and grabbed Sokai's arm.

Sokai was immersed in the Genjutsu, but he woke up the moment Yichen touched his arm.

But the moment he regained consciousness was also the moment the Genjutsu Space expelled him.

Yichen activated his Mind's Eye to its maximum, carefully investigating the direction in which the Genjutsu Space pulled at the Sokai, and found it—my true form.

Then, Yichen quickly recalled some descriptions of the Spirit Transformation Jutsu in his mind, and then controlled his soul to rush towards his physical body along that sensation.

The next moment, Yichen opened his eyes and found himself lying on the ground, with Sokai next to him looking equally bewildered.

Yichen stood up, checking himself as he asked, "Sokai, how are you feeling? Any discomfort?"

As soon as he finished asking the question, Yichen was stunned, because he discovered that something was attached to his soul.

Could this be... the Yata Mirror?

Yichen was taken aback. He searched again but couldn't find the Totsuka Blade. The Totsuka Blade should be on Sokai. However, Sokai's current level was far from being able to use the Totsuka Blade, so he probably wouldn't even be able to find it.

Did the master of that Genjutsu Space mistake me and Sokai for two Uchiha and give each of us a divine artifact?

Yichen was pleasantly surprised.

Just then, Sokai's anxious voice reached Yichen's ears. "Teacher Yichen, what's wrong?"

Yichen turned his head, smiled at Sokai, and said, "It's nothing. How about you?"

Sokai had been worried when he saw Yichen not speaking, but now that he saw Yichen was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine too."

Yichen glanced at the coffin, then looked up at the ceiling, and said, "Let's go back first. The Third Generation is probably getting impatient."

"Yes," Sokai replied.

As Yichen flew out of the deep cave with Sokai, Ōnoki was still pondering Yichen's use of Porcelain Release without a seal. Seeing the two return, Ōnoki asked, "Back so soon? Did you find anything?"

Yichen was taken aback. Was it fast? He should have been in the Genjutsu Space for a long time.

Fortunately, Yichen had witnessed the Tsukuyomi from the original work and quickly understood that what seemed like a long time in that Genjutsu Space for him and Sokai was actually only a moment in the outside world.

Taking a deep breath, Yichen said to Ōnoki, "Time outside is but a fleeting moment, but we've lived a lifetime underground."

Ōnoki was confused.

Yichen explained, "The two of us entered a Genjutsu Space and witnessed the entire life of an Uchiha."

Ōnoki was taken aback and said, "So, the person below is indeed from the Uchiha Clan?"

Yichen nodded and said, "No mistake, Uchiha Clan, and they've even awakened the Mangekyo Uchiha."

"The Mangekyō Sharingan?" Ōnoki exclaimed in surprise, "The Mangekyō Sharingan again? The kind of glasses that Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha?"

Yichen nodded and said, "That's right, but that's no longer important. What's important is that in the Genjutsu Space, Sokai's Sharingan has leveled up."

"Huh?" It was Sokai himself who spoke; he still didn't know that his Sharingan had been upgraded.

He quickly activated his Sharingan and took out a Kunai. In the reflection of the Kunai, he could clearly see his own eyes.

The left eye Two-Tomoe, and the right eye Three Tomoe.

Ōnoki, standing to the side, stared in disbelief and exclaimed, "How is this possible? How old is Sokai? He already has Three Tomoe?"

Taking a deep breath, Ōnoki continued, "Do you know when Shisui Uchiha, the legendary genius of the Uchiha Clan, awakened the Three Tomoe?"

Yichen shook his head and said, "I haven't paid attention to that, but the Uchiha Clan has produced another genius. He's Fugaku Uchiha's son, named Itachi Uchiha, a rare Uchiha with the Will of Fire. I wonder if he's Awakening Eyes yet."

Ōnoki wasn't interested in the unheard-of Itachi Uchiha. He touched Hayate, who was still excitedly looking at his Sharingan, Sokai said with some emotion, "I really don't understand the Uchiha Clan. I used to think Sokai's talent was just average."

"Hmph." Sokai shook his head, dodging Ōnoki's hand, and snorted.

Ōnoki didn't mind. Sokai had lived in his house since she was very young, Ōnoki treated Sokai like his own descendant.

Yichen said, "There's one more thing. The Uchiha underground possessed two divine artifacts in his lifetime: the legendary Totsuka Blade and the Yata Mirror."

"The fact that his Genjutsu Space has been preserved after so many years is most likely due to these two divine artifacts."

At this point, Yichen paused for a moment, then continued, "After leaving the Genjutsu Space, I discovered that my soul held something extra— the Yata Mirror."

"What?!" Ōnoki exclaimed in surprise, "You obtained the sacred artifact Yata Mirror?"

Yichen nodded and said, "That's right, but my soul can't leave my body on its own right now, so I can't take it out to show you."

Ōnoki was overjoyed and said, "Whether you look at it or not doesn't matter. You only got the Yata Mirror, not the Totsuka Blade?"

Yichen turned his gaze to Sokai and said, "I guess the Totsuka Blade should be with Sokai."

Sokai blinked and said, "I didn't take it!"

Yichen was amused by him and said, "You'll know later."

Sokai, he said, "Teacher Yichen, you're doing this again."

After calming down, Sokai asked again, "Teacher Yichen, what's this about the Mangekyō Sharingan you were talking about? And what about Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha?"

"I know Madara Uchiha; he's our Uchiha Clan's ancestor. But who is Obito Uchiha?"

Sokai overheard Yichen and Ōnoki's conversation and had many questions about it.

Yichen couldn't help but burst into laughter, saying between laughs, "You'll find out later."

"Ahhhhh!" Sokai that he lunged at Yichen.

Yichen dodged easily in a Body Flicker Technique. The two of them, one fleeing and the other chasing, returned to the group.

Helpless, Ōnoki used Earth Release to seal the hole, and then followed the group to their location.

This unexpected turn of events was a tremendous boon for Yichen. The Sokai upgrade of his Sharingan and the two divine artifacts he acquired were all pleasant surprises.

Ōnoki's journey through the Ninja World is like opening one new dungeon after another for himself.

When they woke up the next morning, they found that both Ōnoki and Yichen had smiles on their faces. Their expressions were as if they had once again gained a great advantage over Konoha.

Because of his different status, Kawakita walked up to Yichen and asked in a low voice, "Teacher Yichen, did you find anything about your investigation of that tomb last night?"

Although Kawakita didn't come out last night, he knew that Yichen and the others had gone to the small mound. However, Yichen and the others returned quickly, so Kawakita thought they hadn't found anything. Now, judging from the expressions of Yichen and Ōnoki, the situation was probably not what he thought.

Yichen led Kawakita aside and recounted the events of the previous night in detail, leaving Kawakita amazed. Although he had already become a quasi-Kage and served as a village advisor, his knowledge and experience were far inferior to those of Ōnoki Yichen.

What Yichen said sounded too mysterious to him. If it weren't for Yichen's serious expression and the fact that he was now the village advisor, Yichen probably wouldn't have teased him.

Otherwise, Kawakita seriously suspects that Yichen is seeking out perverse pleasures again, just like when they were the teachers leading the team.

Finally Yichen said, "I don't have time now. I'll learn the S-rank Ninjutsu, Spirit Transformation Jutsu, when I have time. Then I'll let you see the legendary divine weapon."

Kawakita nodded. Although he couldn't stand Yichen's showing off, he was actually quite looking forward to it.

Instead of leaving immediately, the group stayed there for another ten days or so.

Because of the rare seclusion of this area, it would be perfect if Yichen and Ōnoki discussed Kekkei Tōta, as this place would cause quite a commotion.

Sure enough, over the past ten days or so, Yichen and Ōnoki have been exchanging Dust Release and the other Light Release. Sometimes their Kekkei Tōta would even clash, creating quite a commotion every now and then.

If this had happened in a populated area, such a commotion would have attracted the attention of the Daimyo of the Land of Fields and his ninja village long ago.

But this no-man's-land doesn't matter.

"Dust Release - Limit Splitter Jutsu"

"Light Release - Limit Splitter Jutsu"

Yichen and Ōnoki, separated by a great distance, exchanged powerful attacks.

There was no earth-shattering explosion; a white light and a blue light met in mid-air and silently annihilated each other.

However, around the point where the two beams of light met, a large area of mountains and ground vanished into nothingness.

Yichen and Ōnoki both breathed a sigh of relief. This move was risky; a slight misstep could have resulted in their mutual destruction.

Chapter Two is still under review. Recently, I don't know which word was used in a problematic way; this is the second time.
