With the Unchanging, Respond to All Changes; If You Have the Guts, Come Find Me at the Uchiha Clan.

Naruto's words revealed a great deal of useful information.

Ensei Uchiha pondered for only a moment before he had already deduced the situation with reasonable accuracy.

The reason Kushina Uzumaki was sent must have been due to her exceptional level of sealing jutsu.

Returning from the dead...

There are very few ninjutsu in the Shinobi World capable of true resurrection, and none of them are currently available to Konoha.

Summing it all up, the only explanation is the Impure World Reincarnation.

Since Danzō Shimura possessed the Reverse Four-Symbols Sealing, he shouldn't have left a corpse behind, which implies this must have been a contingency plan Danzō prepared while he was still alive.

Of course, it is also possible that Danzō never died at all.

After all, Ensei Uchiha had never seen Danzō's corpse with his own eyes; false intelligence is common enough.

But for news of Danzō being resurrected via Impure World Reincarnation to pop up at this specific time...

It makes no sense!

Forget it, ignore all that messy business; it is better to just stay cautious.

While lost in thought, Ensei Uchiha turned and returned home, where he instructed the Zero-Two Model—also known as the Rin Nohara Model—who was in charge of surveillance, to raise the alert level to the maximum and expand its range to cover the entire village of Konoha.

Within the entirety of Konoha, anyone who harbored malice toward him would be detected by the Zero-Two Model.

For those with particularly severe malice, the Zero-Two Model would notify Ensei Uchiha and mark their exact location.

Shortly after, Ensei Uchiha spotted a small, blinking red dot on the map of Konoha hanging in his room.

"Huh... is it really that simple? I'm starting to suspect this is a trap."

After some consideration, Ensei Uchiha decided it was best not to get involved in this particular spectacle for the time being.

If it were the original Danzō Shimura, who commanded the power of Root and had his eyes set on the Uchiha clan, he would have been a significant threat.

But now, he is a commander without an army, and in the state of an Impure World Reincarnation at that.

A threat? He is indeed one, but it seems negligible—the kind that can be completely ignored.

Furthermore, Ensei Uchiha suspected that there might be some sort of trap around Danzō Shimura, one specifically designed for him.

He did not consider himself invincible, nor was he fearless.

Therefore, Ensei Uchiha had no intention of going himself, nor did he plan to send any Shadow Clones or the artificial humans he had created; he chose to act as if he knew nothing of these events.

That very night, former members of Root attempted to sneak into the Uchiha clan compound, only to be taken turns with by the genjutsu of several pairs of Three Tomoe Sharingan.

It wasn't until daylight that they were hog-tied and escorted to the Hokage Office in broad daylight, right in front of all the villagers of Konoha.

In this world of shinobi, intelligence is valued so excessively that civilians and ninjas often seem to exist in two different worlds.

Thus, when Ensei Uchiha ordered the prisoners to be escorted openly in front of all the villagers, he faced opposition from almost everyone.

But clearly, opposition meant nothing to Ensei Uchiha; at this point, there was no one left in the entire Uchiha clan who could challenge his authority.

After all, even the clan head had already taken the lead in surrendering.

All these factors combined to create the lively scene seen today, with many villagers, merchants, and nobles watching the Uchiha clan escort the prisoners as if it were a show.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a massive headache regarding this situation.

He could only keep comforting himself internally: as long as they don't rebel against the village, let him do as he pleases...

It might look like he was being a spineless Hokage, but in reality, this could also be considered a form of wisdom.

If you can't find the book title, try searching for the author; perhaps the name was just changed!

That night, the Uchiha clan held another routine clan meeting.

Ensei Uchiha originally hadn't planned on attending, but because of the day's events, he needed to exert some control to prevent those Uchiha fellows from acting recklessly.

As it turned out, the results were exactly as Ensei Uchiha had expected.

At the meeting, signs had already begun to appear; there were always those who mistook power that didn't belong to them as their own.

Given this situation, Ensei Uchiha naturally had to let these fools, blinded by vanity, realize what true power actually was, if only to avoid future trouble.

The will of the strong is not something they can fathom.

Following this, Ensei Uchiha laid down some rules to ensure that no random people would go around causing him trouble.

Hokage? Just the leader of a small village; what is there to be so eager about?

After the clan meeting ended, Ensei Uchiha sensed two or three Uchiha clansmen summoning some Summoned Beasts.

Hmm, they were likely reporting back to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It is truly laughable; the same people who were shouting about rebellion and pushing for Ensei Uchiha to become Hokage a moment ago were now leaking information to Hiruzen Sarutobi the next.

However, Ensei Uchiha wouldn't bother punishing them; to him, none of this mattered.

He checked on Danzō Shimura's location again and found that his position hadn't changed at all. Could it be that he hadn't been found yet?

Moving on, Ensei Uchiha ignored those matters and instead began flipping through the Uchiha clan's records regarding the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Setting aside the Uchiha clan's worship of the Mangekyo Sharingan, their records actually held some utility.

Beyond this, in order to recreate the splendor of the Mangekyo Sharingan, these ancestors of the Uchiha clan truly made quite a few attempts.

Among them, naturally, were the casting of genjutsu, human dissection, and the active or passive creation of various romances and tragedies.

But as for the results, one need only look at Obito Uchiha for reference.

Izanagi and Izanami emerged during this process, and the Uchiha clan nearly faced extinction because of it.

Consequently, the later generations of the Uchiha clan simply gave up.

If the Mangekyo appeared, that was for the best; if it didn't, it didn't matter.

As for why the Uchiha clan only had a collection of Three Tomoe and no Mangekyo...

That was, of course, because almost every generation of the Uchiha clan would exhaust the ocular power of their Mangekyo, leaving nothing behind.

"It seems that the phenomenon of unlocking the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan by swapping eyes between brothers was only discovered during the era of Madara Uchiha."

"It makes sense; the Mangekyo is rare enough as it is. For both brothers to unlock the Mangekyo is even rarer, and for both to have unlocked it and then proceed to swap eyes is rarer still."

"However, when Madara Uchiha swapped his eyes, Izuna Uchiha was already dead. If he had still been alive and they had swapped eyes with each other, would it have been possible to unlock two pairs of Eternal Mangekyo?"

This doubt arose in the heart of Ensei Uchiha. After all, the process of unlocking the Eternal Mangekyo is not the fusion of the ocular power of two pairs of Mangekyo, but the replacement of one pair of eyes.

After all, during the era of Madara Uchiha, his original Mangekyo Sharingan had already exhausted its ocular power and completely lost its vision, which is why he inherited the eyes of Izuna Uchiha.

Originally, Madara Uchiha intended to inherit his younger brother's eyes to continue the fight. He never expected that it would actually unlock the Eternal Mangekyo...

After pondering for a long while, Ensei Uchiha decided to conduct an experiment in the future; for now, he would first find a way to clone the Mangekyo Sharingan.

The Mangekyo Sharingan must be cloneable; there had already been successful cases in the original work, and all he had to do now was find the specific method.

If all else failed, he would just use the brute-force method and spend a bit more capital and time.

The existence of the Mangekyo Sharingan is not merely a Kekkei Genkai, but is related to the soul, or perhaps something like emotions.

As for the soul, Ensei Uchiha had no way to deal with that for now.

But as for emotions...

Ensei Uchiha remembered that in his past life, there seemed to be something called endocrine hormones that could influence the joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness within the human body.
