As the name implies, Uchiha Multiplier Copy allows Uchiha Jonin with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan or higher to achieve a specialized, large-scale accumulation of ninjutsu by copying techniques from other ninja over a short period.

Mutual grinding!

Take Uchiha Lianshan, the father of Uchiha Tekka, as an example.

As a standard Three-Tomoe Jonin, he specializes in Fire Release and Earth Release.

Because he has not been a Jonin for long, he has only mastered two A-rank Fire Release techniques, two B-rank Fire Release techniques, three C-rank Fire Release techniques, and four C-rank Earth Release techniques.

As long as there are clan members who specialize in Fire and Earth Release, he can use his Sharingan to copy their techniques at close range while they perform them at a slow pace.

He can learn at a speed of about 5 to 8 techniques per day, quickly mastering the 75 core Fire Release techniques and 84 core Earth Release techniques currently held within the Uchiha clan.

Isn't that incredible?

It's practically a cheat code; if you don't close it, it's as if you never opened it!

In the words of Uchiha Fucheng, "This kind of super-fast bug-exploiting learning method would scare people to death if it got out."

Of course, having others help you practice your elemental techniques requires paying a large amount of [Contribution Points].

Therefore, the significance of the Multiplier Copy technique lies in using "Uchiha Points" to leverage the growth of every Uchiha Jonin's ninjutsu strength.

Just like Uchiha Lianshan, he can first teach the Fire and Earth Release techniques he has mastered to other clan members to earn points.

Then, through point loans, he can advance a portion of his points to copy and learn even more Fire and Earth Release techniques.

According to Uchiha Fucheng's cautious estimate.

Before the declaration of war in the Land of Rain, he is confident that he can get the vast majority of the Uchiha clan's Three-Tomoe Sharingan users to master over 150 ninjutsu techniques each.

Copy-ninja per capita, wholesale Kakashi.

This comprehensive ninjutsu capability will inevitably lead to a significant increase in the strength of the ninja.

For this achievement alone, let alone Uchiha Setsuna, even if Uchiha Madara were here, he would have to give Uchiha Fucheng a big thumbs up.

This is no longer a question of whether Uchiha Fucheng is impressive or not.

It is that this bug, once exploited, is second only to the training bug of Uzumaki Naruto's Multi Shadow Clone Technique.

It is not that previous Uchiha clan heads didn't know how to use the Sharingan to copy ninjutsu.

It is that there were too many factions and interest groups within the clan, making it impossible for the majority of Uchiha Jonin to form a concerted effort to accomplish this.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Uchiha Fucheng also expanded his own inventory of the ninjutsu branches he currently masters.

For Earth Release, he copied additional core techniques covering "defense, offense, and counter-measures."

For Wind Release, Fucheng copied various special-effect techniques such as "weapon enhancement, sword-art fusion, movement acceleration, and wind-style interference."

Needless to say, for Fire Release.

He had already learned the basic, conventional Fire Release techniques; Uchiha Fucheng simply copied the rest of the Fire Release techniques as well, out of a desire for completeness.

The only thing he didn't delve into much was Lightning Release.

Because Uchiha Fucheng's Mangekyo Sharingan can greatly amplify Lightning Release.

The Lightning Release ocular technique inherent to his Mangekyo is extremely powerful, which actually caused Fucheng to lose interest in learning ordinary Lightning Release techniques.

No matter how strong a Lightning Release technique is, it isn't as powerful as his Mangekyo Sharingan; there is simply no need to learn weak techniques.

In Fucheng's eyes, if he wants to hit someone with Lightning Release, it would be more impressive to let "Wife Mikoto" fire off two Railguns at the opponent!

Just as the Uchiha clan was exceptionally busy, Mikoto and Fucheng once again discovered the presence of a Spiral Zetsu.

What a surprise!

Spiral Zetsu is a surprise.

When Mikoto once again detected a new Zetsu near the clan grounds using electromagnetic waves, both Fucheng and Mikoto became excited.

Fucheng couldn't help but sigh, "It really feels like the surprise of 'searching for her a thousand times in my dreams, only to look back and find her in the dim light.'

Let's not startle the snake this time; we caught four Zetsu directly last time, so the other side must have realized something is wrong."

Fucheng said, "It's just that they don't know our methods. Let's make sure not to scare them off this time, or it will be troublesome if they stop sending Zetsu over."

Mikoto nodded, "I also don't think there will only be one Zetsu this time. Let's try to catch several at once."

Fucheng looked at the four masked Misaka Sisters beside him and said thoughtfully, "The converted Misaka Network still carries the aura of a Zetsu. Why don't we find a way to let the Misaka Sisters lure a few back?"

This wasn't just Fucheng's wild imagination.

In his impression, Zetsu are divided into special individuals and clones, all of which have a certain degree of thinking ability and behavioral logic.

But even the most intelligent Spiral Zetsu has a somewhat neurotic temperament.

Their thinking and logic are not like those of normal people.

If they used the Wood Release Transformation Technique to turn into the appearance of a Zetsu, it is not impossible for the four Misaka Sisters to deceive this group of Zetsu.

The logical thinking ability and command execution capability of the Misaka Sisters are far superior to those of the Zetsu.

Moreover, the way the Misaka Sisters think is more like that of an independent person.

With Uchiha Fucheng's capture plan in place, the tall and long-legged Misaka Sister 0003 volunteered to lure and capture the White Zetsu scouting near the Uchiha compound.

One, two, three...

Even Uchiha Fucheng hadn't expected the Misaka Sisters to have such formidable execution skills.

With Mikoto in charge of reconnaissance, the Misaka Sisters used the Transformation Technique to disguise themselves as White Zetsu, using nearly identical tactics to trick six gullible White Zetsu into their trap.

Mikoto was overjoyed.

She converted them one by one as they were captured; had she not remained cautious and refrained from releasing electromagnetic waves at maximum power to locate more, the number of captures over these three days would likely have exceeded six.

Misaka Sisters 0005 through 0010, six brand-new Mikoto clones, were officially born!

With this, the Misaka Network, composed of the Misaka Sisters, had officially reached a total of ten members.

Under their powerful augmentation, Mikoto's electromagnetic search range broke through to 8km.

It was precisely at the moment the Misaka Sisters reached the ten-member milestone that Black Zetsu, who had been stationed at the Uchiha Naka Shrine, sensed an unsettling atmosphere.

"The scheduled time has passed; why haven't any of the White Zetsu sent into Konoha returned?"

Black Zetsu was currently merged with a White Zetsu, appearing as a black-and-white creature that looked like it was wearing a pitcher plant suit.

Before him, only three White Zetsu remained, patrolling the nearby area.

As for the six White Zetsu he had dispatched into the town of Konoha, there was no sign of any of them returning to the shrine.

"White Zetsu can all travel underground; their safety should be absolutely guaranteed. Why would a large group of them go missing all at once?"

The black-and-white pitcher plant, its face shrouded in shadow, wore an exceptionally strange expression.

It was a mix of surprise, indignation, and confusion.

To Black Zetsu, the White Zetsu were much like his own private property.

With the number of missing White Zetsu now reaching double digits, Black Zetsu felt as though he had encountered a ghost.

Black Zetsu was like a gamer whose base was being raided; he was far more obsessed with playing the "hidden mastermind" stirring up trouble from the shadows.

Filled with conspiracy theories, Black Zetsu's eyes were now brimming with suspicion.

No matter who he looked at, they all seemed like "treacherous villains" plotting against him.

"In this day and age, there are too many bad people; there are always treacherous villains trying to harm Zetsu!"
