Quasi Two-Tomoe

"You have only evolved your left eye for now. This way, the upper limit of the ninjutsu you can copy has increased significantly, making it basically no different from a standard Two-Tomoe Sharingan. However, you must remember..."

"The Sharingan of our Uchiha Clan requires balance between both eyes to unleash its maximum power. With only one eye evolved, your chakra growth will not be substantial, and your improvement in dynamic vision will be limited compared to a One-Tomoe Sharingan. Therefore, you must be cautious when using high-consumption ninjutsu you have copied in actual combat."

"By the way, you haven't even finished copying all the One-Tomoe ninjutsu yet, have you?"

After Jiancheng gave his instructions to Akaseki, he asked about his copying progress.

"Yes, Clan Head. I have had many missions outside Konoha recently..." Akaseki said, feeling embarrassed.

Jiancheng shook his head upon hearing this and said, "I am not criticizing you. It is normal for missions to cause delays, but you must remember that in your current situation, improving your own strength is the key... As for the ninjutsu that a Two-Tomoe Sharingan can copy, I will arrange for clansmen to assist you once you have finished copying the One-Tomoe ones."

Unbalanced growth between the eyes is not exactly rare within the Uchiha Clan, but it is not a process that always occurs—often, when a One-Tomoe Sharingan evolves, it goes directly to Two-Tomoe, meaning both eyes become two-tomoe.

However, Akaseki's case this time was one of unbalanced growth.

Because it was not a balanced growth of both eyes, Akaseki's chakra increase would not be significant, so Jiancheng was not in a hurry to have him copy any powerful ninjutsu.

No matter how strong a ninjutsu is, if it drains all your chakra after one use, it has no practical value in combat.

"You don't need to be anxious. Generally speaking, if one eye evolves, the other will eventually evolve as well," Jiancheng added, fearing that Akaseki might be too eager for quick success.

Seeing that the Clan Head had finished his instructions, Lanyu immediately asked Akaseki, "Is the Immersion Curse on you really an effect similar to Genjutsu?"

"Ah? This... I suppose so, but I don't know why, my emotions are also naturally affected. It's not as simple as just hallucinations," Akaseki emphasized.

However, Akaseki couldn't quite summarize the specifics.

"Emotions being affected..." Lanyu's face crumpled.

Seeing this, Jiancheng said, "Alright, let him have some peace and quiet for now." With that, he left with Lanyu.

After leaving Akaseki's residence, Jiancheng saw that Lanyu still seemed troubled by something, so he shook his head and said, "Still thinking about using Genjutsu to stimulate the clansmen? Many ancestors have tried it; it doesn't work."

"I know that, of course, but Akaseki's Immersion Curse..." Lanyu seemed to have already accepted that the thing was a curse.

"That is clearly not an ordinary Genjutsu; it might be directly affecting his brain. It is hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse." Although Jiancheng did not show it in front of Akaseki, he was actually not optimistic about it.

As for whether one could use Genjutsu to achieve the same effect as the "Immersion Experience Platform"?

The Uchiha Clan are masters of Genjutsu themselves, so naturally, countless ancestors have tried it!

However, the results were not very good.

No matter how brilliant a Genjutsu is, it is ultimately fake. Using it to stimulate clansmen to awaken their eyes has basically no effect; only after the Genjutsu ends does one's own emotions play a stimulating role.

At that point, the contrast with reality often dilutes the emotions, so using Genjutsu to assist in awakening the eyes has always been considered an ineffective method within the Uchiha.

Seeing that Lanyu was still deep in thought, Jiancheng consoled him, "Lanyu, don't be too anxious. Our Uchiha Clan is, after all, the greatest clan in Konoha. Whether it is Hiruzen Sarutobi or Shimura Danzō, at most they only want to seize some power from us; they cannot truly suppress us."

Jiancheng knew very well that the reason Lanyu was so anxious was because of the sense of urgency regarding the situation in Konoha.

Jiancheng then said with a resolute expression, "Furthermore... in this ninja world today, the undercurrents are already surging! As long as another Great Ninja War breaks out, our Uchiha Clan will naturally be able to soar to the skies!"

Cruel wars and tragic casualties... these are things that other ninja clans are naturally unwilling to endure.

However, for the Uchiha Clan, it is a double-edged sword!

While it is sad to lose clansmen, seeing the cold Sharingan that sprout after the death of a warm-hearted clansman also brings a strange warmth to the heart.

To a certain extent, during the long peace of the ninja world, the Uchiha Clan has been the most severely weakened.

If it weren't for a period of serious internal strife within the Uchiha Clan over the last thirty years, they would be even weaker than they are now!

Meanwhile, Akaseki was slapping his thigh in his room.

"How could I forget to ask the Clan Head for more funds to buy ninja tools... Sigh!" Akaseki finally remembered this.

However, judging from the reactions of Clan Head Jiancheng and Elder Lanyu, Akaseki was certain that they definitely did not sense any space-time fluctuations when he used "Liu-Liu Recycling."

Moreover, Akaseki thought carefully: the Clan Head and the Elder already suspected that this "Immersion Experience Platform" was some kind of curse or a manifestation of a demon god, so they certainly wouldn't support such "sacrificial" behavior. He decided to put that matter aside for now and looked at the 150 "balance" he had just acquired.

Theoretically, this should be usable for trading, but... the awkward part was that Akaseki could not find an "entrance" for a shop or a trading house.

Of course, Akaseki was not worried that this 150 balance wouldn't be spent. After all, even without a shop, he knew that when "GG" appeared, he could purchase items directly, and at that time, there was even a special offer prompt, though he didn't know if it was real or not.

There was also another place where he could spend it, which he could find directly—subscribing to a membership.

But Akaseki would absolutely not buy that!

Currently, it seems that being a member has no benefits and, on the contrary, would cause him to lose out on GG rewards.

The ninja tools he had just customized were gone, and the recycled balance couldn't be spent for the time being, so Akaseki had to pull himself together and head to the training ground—the sparring match he had agreed upon with Claw still had to happen. After all, a free dog-head to spar with was not something to pass up!

At a little past five in the evening, Akaseki arrived at Training Ground Six.

Training Ground Six consisted of several battle areas. Although there were still a few groups of ninjas present, they did not disturb each other.

When Akaseki arrived, he saw that Claw was already in one of the areas, lying on the ground with her legs crossed, shaking her lower leg as if she were very impatient.

"Finished your deliveries so early? You and Kuromaru are truly something," Akaseki complimented politely.

Hearing his voice, Claw jumped up immediately, and Kuromaru, who had been lying down, also stood up.

"You guy..." Claw bared her canine teeth and glared at him, "I thought you wouldn't dare to come..."
