Where to Go

Uchiha Shisui looked silently at the scarlet Sharingan of Uchiha Sou, feeling a moment of trance.

Having awakened his Mangekyo half a year ago, he naturally understood just how terrifying the power of these eyes truly was.

Although he had never used them head-on, he was all too aware of the abilities these eyes granted him and the changes they had brought about within him.

Yet, he was genuinely curious about when Uchiha Sou had obtained these eyes and whether he possessed a deeper understanding of them.

Because even though he possessed these eyes, his knowledge regarding them was far too limited!

In fact, following the normal sequence of events, had Uchiha Sou not intervened so inexplicably, Uchiha Shizuka would have already been a ghost, and Shisui would have successfully returned to the Konoha camp.

Once back, he naturally would have reported the changes in his eyes to the clan, thereby obtaining more relevant information.

But the problem was, he was not following the normal sequence of events now; he was truly ignorant about his own eyes, and he was even surprised that the Three Tomoe were not the limit of the Sharingan!

Now, seeing Uchiha Sou's eyes, he truly felt as if he had met a kindred spirit, which simultaneously ignited a strong desire for knowledge.

However, because he was unsure when Uchiha Sou had obtained these eyes, he suddenly didn't know how to bring it up.

"What's wrong? You seem to have a lot of questions."

Uchiha Sou watched Shisui's conflicted expression as he hesitated to speak, then slowly deactivated his Mangekyo and asked with some curiosity.

"Captain, regarding these eyes..." Shisui thought for a moment before finally asking, "Do you have any understanding of these eyes?"

Understanding?

Uchiha Sou understood Shisui's meaning instantly. It wasn't just that he understood these eyes; in terms of theoretical knowledge, even if Uchiha Madara were here, he likely wouldn't be as well-versed as him!

The harsh requirements for awakening the Mangekyo were unimaginable. Beyond needing sufficient talent, it also required intense, unbearable mental stimulation.

To be honest, if not for the proficiency granted by the system, he felt he would never have been able to awaken these eyes!

He had never been able to get along with his peers; a mature soul found it truly difficult to play house with a group of children, and even if he pretended, it was hard to cultivate any genuine feelings or bonds.

As for his family, given his father's traditional, old-school Uchiha education style, their relationship could be described as quite 'explosive'.

Of course, it wasn't that Uchiha Sou had no feelings for them; after all, the grace of years of upbringing was there.

But he understood one thing clearly: knowing exactly what to do and deliberately doing it could never compare to the impact on one's heart when it happened unconsciously!

He didn't believe the Uchiha clan hadn't conducted similar experiments; after all, this was the Mangekyo Sharingan.

But the result was that these eyes had become almost a taboo within the clan, and ordinary clansmen had no idea of their existence.

This also suggested, from another perspective, that those experiments had likely failed without exception.

However, Uchiha Sou did not intend to elaborate on these topics with Shisui, as his father had never spoken to him about such things, and he didn't want to give himself away.

Still, a reminder was necessary. Thinking of this, Uchiha Sou said, "The clan has never spoken of these eyes. If you want to understand them, you can only return to the clan to ask. However, I must warn you of one thing."

"Please speak, Senior." Uchiha Shisui nodded, his expression turning serious.

"You had best not let others know you possess these eyes." Uchiha Sou lowered his voice. "You can feel the power of these eyes, and they grant you special abilities. Once they are exploited by those with ulterior motives..."

Uchiha Sou stopped there; it was better to leave such topics at a hint.

If there were no surprises, Uchiha Sou figured Shisui's ocular technique should still be Kotoamatsukami.

He knew all too well how disgusting Kotoamatsukami was. Even he had to be careful not to be affected by it. Fortunately, Uchiha Shisui was still a man with a bottom line.

Moreover, this guy placed the village and the clan on the same level; even in extreme situations, he intended to apply for permission before using Kotoamatsukami on anyone.

It was precisely based on this that he intended to warn this kid, at least to plant a seed in his mind.

Don't be a fool and tell the Konoha higher-ups about having a Mangekyo, let alone its abilities.

That wasn't seeking mutual trust; that was asking for death!

Once those guys in the Konoha high command knew you had this ability, wouldn't they start wondering if you might use it against them?

That was why Uchiha Sou had always felt that the Uchiha Shisui in the original story was truly brainless.

"I understand, Senior So." Uchiha Shisui nodded with utmost seriousness upon hearing this. "I trust your judgment, Senior, because you have never been wrong."

Uchiha Sou didn't know what to say upon hearing this; he suddenly realized that Shisui seemed to trust him exceptionally.

But this was a good thing. Although he hadn't fully decided how to proceed in the future, gathering people around him was an inevitable necessity!

"Senior, then I won't disturb your rest." Uchiha Shisui thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to check on the situation with that guy, Juzo Biwa."

"Oh?" Uchiha Sou was slightly stunned. "That guy is still alive?"

"Yes, Senior." Shisui nodded. "He is still alive, but Raiga Kurosuki is already dead."

Uchiha Sou nodded upon hearing this. Both of them had been pierced through the chest by him; death was the most natural outcome.

Come to think of it, his own ocular techniques were also quite interesting, as they were space-type techniques, much like those of Uchiha Obito.

The ability of his left eye was called Ame-no-Iwato. This technique was somewhat similar to Amenotejikara, yet it had significant differences.

Its effect allowed him to instantly teleport to any location within his line of sight, without needing any object as a substitute!

However, the drawback was that the greater the teleportation distance, the greater the consumption of ocular power and chakra.

The ability of his right eye was called Yomotsu-Hirasaka, and its effect was to directly distort and manipulate the space around him. The wider the range of manipulation and the more intense the distortion, the greater the consumption.

The combined effect of these two techniques was indeed somewhat similar to Uchiha Obito's abilities, yet they were vastly different.

Because his technique did not possess such a vast space, nor could it allow him to take refuge within an alternate dimension.

But all in all, these two techniques were truly in line with the style of Uchiha Sou, or rather, they perfectly matched everything he desired in his heart while dealing with Juzo Biwa and Raiga Kurosuki.

The Eye of Heart Reflection, it truly lived up to its name!

Relying on these eyes, Uchiha Sou distorted the space the very moment Juzo Biwa's attack was about to strike him.

Juzo Biwa's ninja blade appeared to hit him directly, but in reality, under the influence of the space, it suffered a fatal deflection and ended up smashing heavily into the ground.

Uchiha Sou then drew a kunai and stabbed it into his chest, subsequently utilizing the ability of Ame-no-Iwato to appear before Raiga Kurosuki with another kunai, driving it straight into that guy's chest!

"It's just... what should I do next?"

After the joy of obtaining the Mangekyo, Uchiha Sou suddenly realized he had encountered another difficult problem.

That was how exactly he was supposed to upgrade his Mangekyo!

Even when activated, the Mangekyo consumed ocular power; although it was very little, it was a genuine drain, and the consumption from using ocular techniques was even more exaggerated.

That guy Uchiha Sasuke had unleashed his abilities recklessly after obtaining the Mangekyo, and as a result, he went blind in less than a month.

However, that guy had the eyes of Uchiha Itachi as a spare, a luxury Uchiha Sou did not have.

He had to think carefully about where he should go from here.
