"The Mangekyou Sharingan, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan—no matter how powerful they are..."

When he chose awakening the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan as his primary training plan, Uchiha Yue hesitated.

One reason for Uchiha Yue's hesitation was that the path of awakening the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan had more drawbacks than benefits.

Moreover, while Uchiha Yue hesitated, there was actually a second reason: he harbored misgivings about choosing this path of training.

Those misgivings were that, in Uchiha Yue's eyes, whether it was the Mangekyou Sharingan or the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, they were merely tools. No matter how finely a tool was honed, it needed someone worthy of wielding it to bring out its true potential. Simply put, Uchiha Yue believed that using the awakening of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to increase his strength was a shortcut—a crooked path—not a true improvement of his own strength.

Therefore, even though Uchiha Yue knew that, if he devoted himself to studying the Mangekyou Sharingan, he would likely awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan within two years, Uchiha Yue would rather spend more time treating the training to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan as a foundational training project than make it his primary one. Besides, this was merely the second reason he was unwilling to make this path his primary training plan. Put plainly, what truly made Uchiha Yue abandon this training path was still the fact that awakening the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan brought more harm than good.
