They had never even touched upon the use of source energy, the true essence of ancient escape arts. It was all just a superficial imitation.

Take time, for example. The Uchiha Clan had long been throwing themselves into researching it, yet in the end, they could only use the reality simulation within genjutsu to create a Tsukuyomi.
