Clairvoyance Jutsu × Sarutobi Hiruzen's Voyeurism
The five-year-old child, still in a state of bewilderment, had his innocent, somewhat clear and naive eyes gradually replaced by a glaring scarlet.
"It's the Sharingan!"
"It really is the Sharingan!"
"Young Clan Head... he really can open everyone's eyes!"
Who suddenly cried out from inside the hall?
The quiet temple erupted into a cacophony of noise, a mixture of excitement, shock, and near-trembling exhilaration that surged and surged, eventually engulfing everyone inside.
Uchiha Setsuna's raised cane stopped in mid-air; this time, there was no need for him to stop him.
Behind the old man Uchiha Fugaku stared wide-eyed as he silently watched the Sun-Earring Boy intently pouring Negative Emotions into Shisui's heart... Images of Roy's childhood flashed through his mind; the child had grown up so much without him noticing, and there seemed to be some things he didn't want his father to know.
"Buzz..."
The crimson color spread and solidified, gradually outlining the shape of a comma, and an invisible ripple spread out.
Everyone in the main hall, including Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Inabi, and Uchiha Tekka, held their breath, staring intently... At the edge of the doorway, Obito his mouth agape, drool dribbling from the corner of his mouth without him even noticing. A wave of emotion washed over him; he saw Shisui as if he were seeing himself... If only it were really him...
Nobody wants to be the worst student, and nobody wants to be the worst student... Every time Obito trained with Rin, Kakashi, Namikaze Minato, he was always beaten by Kakashi. He fantasized more than once about what it would be like if one day he could awaken the Sharingan, then he could take control of Kakashi and make Rin look at him with new eyes.
Even just winning against Kakashi once would be good.
However, now... this opportunity seems to have finally arrived.
Uchiha Obito stared intently at Shisui's crimson eyes, where a striking tomoe symbol slowly solidified... then a second one appeared...
With a slight movement of his buttocks, he shifted his legs cross-legged and moved further towards the front of the hall.
[Hint... Detecting one "Potential Believer"...]
[Driven by a thirst for power, Uchiha Obito is racking his brains to try and improve his relationship with his host... Loyalty +10...]
Negative Emotions are injected slowly and steadily in a transparent, gel-like form.
Roy used the [Sun Trait] to calm Shisui down. A notification sound immediately appeared in his ear, and he glanced towards the door. Just then...
Uchiha Obito grinned, showing off his large front teeth.
[Hint... Detecting a "Potential Believer"...]
[Driven by a thirst for power, Uchiha Inabi is racking her brains to try and improve her relationship with her host... Loyalty +10...]
[Hint... Detecting one "Potential Believer"...]
[Driven by a thirst for power, Uchiha Tekka is racking his brains to try and improve his relationship with his host... Loyalty +10...]
[Hint... Hint... Hint...]
A wind chime tinkled under the eaves of a shrine...
At the same time, a continuous stream of notification sounds rang in his ears, matching the background noise.
When Roy wasn't content with just helping Shisui activate one tomoe, he infused him with more "Negative Emotions" to help him activate a second and a third...
The sounds, like the shattering of cognition, echoed repeatedly within the main hall.
As Uchiha Setsuna lowered his cane, his white beard trembling, he seemed to want to ask the Sun-Earring Boy... "Can you help others unlock even more tomoe?"
Afraid of disturbing Roy, he stood quietly to the side, constantly adjusting his emotions. Behind him, Uchiha Fugaku's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, then softened, and a smile appeared on his face. Without saying a word, he simply glanced at the group of Uchiha members... and then looked at Roy. In his relaxed state, he suddenly felt enlightened.
"Yes... Regardless of whether he's hiding it or concealing his abilities, he's still my son."
"Just this much, just this much, is enough!"
[Negative Emotions injection: 50%... Current remaining: 220%...]
The moment the third magatama appeared in Shisui's pupils... Roy released his right hand and gently tapped the Sun-Earring Boy's shoulders.
[Hint: The Bestowal Ceremony is complete...]
[Power of Faith +1]
The Believer Panel of Shisui immediately appeared in Roy's eyes.
[Believer: Uchiha Shisui]
[Physical constitution: 78 (Note: Aura Nodes not yet open)]
[Manifested Aura: C-: 10000/100000 (Note: Based on Perfect Kakashi as a reference standard, approximately 0.1 kcal)]
[Potential Aura: B+: 78/1,000,000 (Note: Based on a fully evolved Kakashi, approximately 7.8)]
Card)]
[Rating: C (A near- Meruem- level powerhouse who urgently needs to open his Aura Nodes and compensate for his Chakra deficiencies; he could rival the Meruem in adulthood]
Her gaze shifted slightly, and she let out a soft sigh...
"Phew~" The Negative Emotions are gone.
Bloodline Shackles broken...
As the three tomoe slowly rotated in Shisui's eyes, the Sun-Earring Boy looked up at Roy and softly said, "Nii-san."
Roy patted Shisui's back gently and smiled warmly, saying, "Congratulations, Shisui."
In an instant... the temple, which had fallen silent due to everyone holding their breath, instantly came alive!
The sound of excitedly swallowing saliva echoed...
Just then, a pair of withered, large hands gripped tightly. Uchiha Setsuna, his gaze burning, seized Roy's shoulders, tossed his cane aside, and it clattered to the ground. "Child, you... you really did it..."
Tears welled in his eyes, Uchiha Setsuna a lump in his throat, unable to speak... The other Uchiha, including Yashiro, Inabi, Tekka, and his clansmen who had lost their brothers, parents, and beloved relatives, all moved quickly and surrounded him...
Across the crowd, Roy exchanged a glance with Uchiha Fugaku, who had been unintentionally pushed aside by the crowd. The latter nodded with a smile, his expression one of deep satisfaction.
"I have fulfilled my mission," the Sun-Earring Boy said with a slight smile.
"Jin... Young Clan Head... you are too modest..."
A cheerful atmosphere emerged, and as Shisui widened his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, the gloom of the previous gathering vanished, and genuine smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
At the back of the line, Obito moved forward a little more with the others, standing on tiptoe to vaguely see Roy's figure.
For some reason, Obito's gaze swept around, and he keenly noticed... that the Uchiha seemed a little different today... He couldn't quite put his finger on what was different, but he felt that if every clan gathering was like this, then...
He would never make excuses to skip work like before, and thankfully... he's here today!
"Quiet!"
"What kind of behavior is this, with everyone crowding around!"
With a muffled thud, Uchiha Setsuna seemed to have finally remembered his cane.
The old man flicked his toe, grabbed his cane again, and slammed it heavily on the ground, clearing a path for Roy. He then stepped aside and invited Uchiha Fugaku forward, saying gently, "Clan head, would you please set the rules for who goes first and who goes last?"
Uchiha Fugaku had no objection, but... "Before that," Uchiha Fugaku winked at Uchiha Inabi Tekka, signaling them to close the main hall doors and stand guard on either side, then stepped forward, squinting at the remaining Uchiha clan members, and said, "I would like to ask everyone to keep this secret for my son."
The higher-ups don't want the Uchiha to have more Sharingan, let alone the Three-Tomoe Sharingan... But now, because of Roy's existence, every Uchiha has the opportunity to awaken their Sharingan... Anyone with a brain present knows what will happen to the Uchiha if this secret is leaked.
Not only would they use the full power of Konoha to exterminate his clan... at the very least, they would let Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others know that Roy... is doomed!
How to be conservative?
"I think the safest approach is to eradicate the ' Cursed Seal of Silence!"
Uchiha Setsuna glanced at Uchiha Yashiro: "Yashiro, starting with you, everyone... without exception, plant the ' Cursed Seal of Silence ' in them!"
[Cursed Seal of Silence]: A technique for keeping secrets. It involves branding a cursed seal onto the tongue and combining it with hand seals to prevent others from revealing the secret.
This was also a common method used by Danzo to control the "root" and prevent the "root" from leaking secrets.
The curse will not be lifted as long as the caster survives.
Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna exchanged a glance and tacitly agreed on the matter... But no matter how hard they racked their brains, they would never have imagined that while [Divine Seal of Silence] could keep out their own people, it was far from being able to Sarutobi Hiruzen the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had a penchant for spying or "remotely monitoring" everything in Konoha!
A gaze from the unseen realm descended... ethereal and fleeting, peering down through the shrine's gate.
Hokage Building.
The two old men, one standing and one sitting, were separated by a desk symbolizing the power of Konoha. On the desk lay an intelligence report with the words "List of Uchiha" on it.
Danzo Shimura's right eye and entire right arm were tightly wrapped in bandages. His narrow eyes Sarutobi Hiruzen, who sat behind his desk, and he demanded, "Why did you agree to reduce the number of vacancies for Uchiha Fugaku?"
"Hiruzen, have you forgotten your teacher's instructions?"
"The Uchiha are a clan born evil; we must never let them grow powerful!"
A village can produce strong individuals, even Jonin, but it cannot produce a Kage, nor can it threaten the Hokage's position... Senju Tobirama Senju's teachings are still vivid in my mind...
Sarutobi Hiruzen, clad in a white Hokage Haori over a red Ninja outfit, his Hokage Hat resting quietly on a corner of the table, silently reviewed the list of names, saying without looking up, "Too much of Hokage good thing. Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame can all die, and of course the Uchiha can too... But, too many can't die. Too many deaths will affect the unity of the village."
"Those who are not in a position should not meddle in its affairs..." Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced sideways at Danzo: "Do I have to teach you the principle of boiling a frog in lukewarm water?"
Danzo the logic, but he regretted that it wasn't him sitting behind the desk... Danzo thought of the plan he had made with Orochimaru beforehand, hoping that more Uchiha would die this time so that he could collect more Sharingan. Unexpectedly... Sarutobi Hiruzen only opened his mouth and cut his Sharingan implantation plan in half.
Danzo Shimura stubbornly retorted, "Don't try to fool me with that nonsense about unity."
"Do you think Uchiha Fugaku doesn't know this?"
"This is an open issue. Even if you don't agree, what can he do?"
"It's precisely because everyone knows the truth that we must restrain ourselves!" Sarutobi Hiruzen the list, stood up, and strolled to the window. He casually pulled out a pipe from the drawer, lit it with a Youyou, took a puff, and then gazed at the three enormous Hokage statues standing at the Hokage Rock. He said solemnly, "One shouldn't go to extremes in life. The Uchiha are also part of the village; we'll inevitably run into each other again. It's always best to leave some room for maneuver."
"It would be best to leave none alive." Danzo leaned on his cane, gently stroking the desk... This should have been his, and it would definitely be his in the future. With each blink of his slender eye, he and Sarutobi Hiruzen turned towards the Hokage Rock. Apart from the First and Second Sarutobi Hiruzen's portrait was the most eye-catching. The hand holding the cane felt slightly itchy... He really wanted to use a [Wind Release: Vacuum Ball] to wipe it out and leave the Hokage Rock clean!
"Yeah?"
"Isn't that right?"
Danzo: "The village doesn't need cliques. Guess what they're doing? They're having a clan meeting!"
Danzo Shimura rubbed his cane and sneered, "A clan that doesn't care about Konoha, only thinking about how to preserve its strength... My teacher was right, every single Uchiha should be killed!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen an eyebrow. "When did the teacher ever say that?"
You think I'd tell you?
"Too,"
Sarutobi Hiruzen took off his pipe, exhaled a puff of smoke, and his face became obscured by the smoke. "Since my teacher valued you so much, yet made me Hokage, Danzo... the door is behind you, please."
"You!"
You'll regret this!
"Bang!"
The door to the Hokage's office slammed shut!
Danzo Shimura off in a huff.
"Tap... tap..." The cane struck the ground with a hurried and forceful rhythm...
Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered disdainfully, leaning against the clean windowpane, admiring the sunlight streaming down and illuminating the Hokage Rock, adding a halo of light to his portrait.
He finished puffing on his pipe.
He sat back down in his Hokage seat, staring blankly at the closed list... As he had predicted, dozens more Uchiha had died this time, leaving only Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Inabi, Tekka... and Uchiha Setsuna, who had wasted over a decade of his youth...
It's just a bunch of big cats, little cats, and one old cat, a few dozen of them. They're not going to amount to anything... I'll think about it some more.
Remembering what Danzo said, today is the day the Uchiha Clan holds its clan meeting...
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly, reached out and scooped up the Crystal Ball that was being used as a decoration on the desk. His brows furrowed, and he mentally visualized the Uchiha Clan. His hands immediately glowed with Chakra light, which surged towards the Crystal Ball as he activated the [Clairvoyance Jutsu].
Using Crystal Ball as a medium and Chakra as a support, he projected his gaze into the past...
A hazy mist dispersed... a scene appeared on the surface of the Crystal Ball, reflecting the main hall of the shrine. In the center of the hall were more than ten coffins, presumably those of the deceased Uchiha clan members listed on the register. Hiruzen Sarutobi Hiruzen focused his gaze... and unsurprisingly, standing before the coffins were... Uchiha Fugaku... Uchiha Setsuna... the Uchiha Yashiro... and the younger generation of Uchiha, such as Inabi and Tekka, a group of outstanding figures... as if they were encircling a city, discussing something...
Sarutobi Hiruzen, then moved to the center of the circle, and in an instant...
He saw a pair of eyes that glanced at him for a fleeting moment!
Those eyes suddenly ignited two suns!
Immediately... the sting caused a sharp pain in his eyes!
