Two-Way Clairvoyance

"Sharingan Genjutsu, followed by Aoki's shuriken after hypnosis, killed him."

Uchiha Yoichi explained. The Interrogation Squad could also extract the general situation from the Stone Ninja Jonin's mind at that time. He swung his sword, and the Stone Ninja Jonin instinctively blocked with both hands.

What do ninjas use to kill enemies?

Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu.

But under the superpower [Empty Handed Weapon Seizure], the Stone Ninja Jonin's Ninjutsu and Taijutsu were directly nullified, leaving him like a lamb to the slaughter. Of course, Uchiha Yoichi was in the same predicament.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough for his teammate to kill the Stone Ninja Jonin in time, otherwise, he would have been the one to die.

"Sharingan Genjutsu? Your One Tomoe Sharingan? Can hypnotize a Stone Ninja Jonin?"

This seemed incredible to Uchiha Kanbayashi. Jonin aren't cabbage; they've passed various assessments and have virtually no obvious weaknesses in Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, or Genjutsu.

How could a Jonin not be able to break free from Genjutsu, and this wasn't even a Three Tomoe Sharingan, just a One Tomoe.

Uchiha Yoichi shrugged, regardless of whether Uchiha Kanbayashi believed him. "Senior Kanbayashi, that's how it happened. Perhaps this Stone Ninja Jonin wasn't skilled at breaking Genjutsu, and I caught a slight opening."

"Consider yourself lucky this time. Your luck is always this good; this is the third time."

Uchiha Kanbayashi sighed. Uchiha Yoichi was considered a talented junior in the clan. Being a Chunin was quite rare in Konoha, let alone having awakened the Sharingan.

He had originally wanted Yoichi to join the Security Force, but Uchiha Yoichi disliked the fixed schedule of the Security Force and refused, choosing to join Konoha's mission squads instead.

"Senior Kanbayashi, what should I do next? Will I still be assigned to a mission squad?"

"Don't even think about it. No one will want to be your teammate. You've lost three mission squads in half a year, and your teammates' survival rate is less than fifty percent. That's why the village is investigating you."

Uchiha Kanbayashi shook his head. At this point, he was even considering whether to bring Yoichi into the Security Force. What if another clan member teamed up with him and suffered casualties?

Although he didn't fully believe it, the past precedents were right before his eyes. Uchiha Yoichi had encountered unlucky missions every single time.

"Go back and wait for notice. Yoichi, I'll also ask the Clan Head for you."

Uchiha Yoichi nodded. "If all else fails, I'll take missions solo. I can handle some C-rank missions, as long as the mission assignment doesn't lump S-rank missions into C-rank."

C-rank missions didn't involve other ninjas. Uchiha Yoichi currently had the strength and status of a Chunin, so he could accept C-rank missions alone.

However, some C-rank escort missions had team size requirements. Other than those, Uchiha Yoichi found it quite convenient to take missions without needing to worry about a squad.

In another two years, Kakashi would become the most hated, youngest Chunin, and like him, he wouldn't have many squads willing to take him, so he'd take missions alone.

It was now Year 42 of Konoha. Kakashi had just graduated from the academy as the youngest ninja, possessing the strength of a Genin at the age of five, making his name known throughout Konoha.

In another two years, White Fang would commit suicide.

In another four years, the Third Shinobi World War would begin.

In another six years, the Third Shinobi World War would enter its white-hot stage, with the various ninja villages fighting in turns. Not only Chunin but even Jonin risked death on the battlefield at any moment.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yoichi couldn't help but sigh. If he followed the established path, he might have a chance to become a Jonin, and his Sharingan might even evolve to Three Tomoe.

But even then, it would just be that. Even for the Uchiha clan, it would only increase his survival rate on the battlefield, not guarantee it.

There were many Uchiha names on the Memorial Stone, including powerful individuals with Three Tomoe.

"Don't overthink it, Yoichi. I'll go ask the Clan Head tomorrow and see if I can get you into the Security Force."

Hearing Uchiha Yoichi's sigh, Uchiha Kanbayashi thought he was worried about not finding a mission squad and felt he shouldn't have rejected his clansman because of some unrealistic possibilities.

"No need, Senior Kanbayashi. I'll rest for a couple of days first and wait for the village's decision."

Uchiha Yoichi still didn't really want to join the Security Force, mainly for the freedom. When he was in a mission squad, he was the leader, and when not on missions, he could rest or train.

Joining the Security Force meant patrolling every day and dealing with village trivialities.

"I'm going back to rest now, Senior Kanbayashi. Good night."

After returning to the clan compound, Uchiha Yoichi said goodbye to Uchiha Kanbayashi at the intersection and they parted ways. He had his own home in the clan compound, though the original body's parents had died in the war.

Upon returning home, Uchiha Yoichi felt a bit hungry. The Interrogation Squad provided food but not enough to satisfy him, so he had to make something himself. Fortunately, he had a lot of instant noodles stored.

While cooking the noodles, the time struck midnight. He had also been using the [Empty Handed Weapon Seizure] ability for a month, and the Superpower Roulette had refreshed and spun again.

"Let's see what bizarre ability I get this time. Clairvoyance?"

Uchiha Yoichi's expression was complex as he saw the ability appear on the illusory roulette, shifting from surprise to disdain in just two seconds.

[Two-Way Clairvoyance] Nothing can block your sight, but when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back; Note: The target and distance of clairvoyance are activated randomly. Once a target is locked, it cannot be controlled and lasts for one hour after activation.

It was truly a two-way commitment.

Uchiha Yoichi's mouth twitched. Another useless ability. It might be useful if he encountered enemies, but he was supposed to be resting at home. Next month, this ability would be overwritten again.

Clairvoyance was one thing, but random clairvoyance? What if he encountered an old man on the road and the clairvoyance ability suddenly activated, leading to them seeing each other naked?

Damn it. Uchiha Yoichi found the thought disgusting and decided firmly not to go out tomorrow, choosing to train within the clan compound instead.

He had already used twelve superpowers, nine of which were useless junk abilities.

For example, [Nose Eating Speed Increased Fivefold], [Stomach Defense and Weight Increased Tenfold], [Can Eat Extreme Spice But Cannot Eat Sugar], and so on.

Various strange abilities, most of which were unusable.

This [Clairvoyance] ability was the same. If it were similar to the Byakugan, it would be an incredibly powerful ability, but adding a buff to the target of the clairvoyance, and activating it uncontrollably, instantly reduced its value significantly.

After eating the instant noodles, Uchiha Yoichi took out a scroll from a hidden box in his home. It contained the training method for Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

"Let's start training tomorrow. Jonin need to master more than two chakra nature transformations, so I'll choose Lightning Release."

Uchiha Yoichi, like the vast majority of the Uchiha clan, only possessed Fire Release, and most of the ninjutsu he knew were Fire Release ninjutsu.

He couldn't take on any missions recently, so he might as well train within the village.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode was a secret technique of Kumogakure, generally only practiced by a select few elite Jonin within the village. Once successfully mastered, it could strengthen the body in all aspects, greatly aiding survival.

If he could master it, Uchiha Yoichi's survival rate during the Third Shinobi World War would increase by at least thirty percent.
