Uchiha Edition of the War of Thought!

"Brother, you're thanking him?"

Tekka stared wide-eyed, his face filled with surprise and indignation.

He longed for the Inabi to help him get ahead, but that wasn't the case at all...

The Inabi swept across the scene with a cold glance.

"You said it yourself, Shisui is a few years younger than you. You got beaten up and you expect me to stand up for you? Besides, why did you stop others? Let them come. What can a little girl do?"

"Disgraceful!"

Inabi Uchiha showed no respect for her younger brother, her gaze icy, and she scolded him until he lowered his head and dared not utter a word in reply.

Shisui remained silent.

He looked at Inabi and seemed to be giving a lecture, but in reality, he didn't explicitly reprimand Tekka about the conflict between Konoha. Instead, he believed that if there was "no threat," then it was okay to let him in.

They still harbored prejudices and didn't consider themselves members of Konoha.

I watched them leave.

Shisui looked at his hands and suddenly realized that his strength was still not enough to resist or change the minds of so many people.

He needs to become stronger!

Shisui Uchiha took a deep breath and made a decision.

On the lakeside, Shisui Uchiha awaited Kyohiko's arrival.

I waited for a long time.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Waiting for me?"

"Senior!"

Shisui's eyes lit up, unable to contain his joy.

Then, he recounted what had happened to him.

Kyohiko listened quietly.

After the other person finished speaking, he smiled and said, "You're already very capable. At your age, there shouldn't be a single person your age who is stronger than you."

But I need to be stronger!

Shisui spoke, she bowed deeply, "Senior, I... I want you to teach me how to become stronger. I know my talent is not as good as yours, but... I will work twice as hard!"

Kyohiko was momentarily speechless.

Shisui's talent is truly undeniable. In the original timeline, he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan at a very young age, and it was the incredibly powerful Kotoamatsukami.

His fate has now been altered, and whether he can awaken the Kotoamatsukami remains to be seen.

but.

According to Kyohiko's understanding, Shisui's Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and swordsmanship are all extremely strong, and his level is absolutely unparalleled among his peers.

Make the Shisui stopper stronger...

Are you sure?

Kyohiko smiled, then sat down and said the coldest words, "I don't really care, after all, you're very smart, and teaching you won't take much time. But do you understand the consequences of learning from me?"

The Shisui was tapped repeatedly.

"Of course, the rewards are commensurate with the efforts, especially since my surname Uchiha, which means I'm destined to face more difficulties than most people, but I still want to seize this opportunity!"

As he spoke, he lowered his head again, maintaining the posture of a deep bow.

"I want to continue down the path my grandfather walked!"

He had already learned about Kagami Uchiha from Fugaku, and Fugaku Uchiha's words seemed to imply that he wanted to get closer to Konoha.

At the same time.

As a pivotal figure in Konoha today, Kyohiko did not believe that the other party was wasting time without any purpose.

The other party must also have needs of me!

If that's the case, why not take the initiative?

Both sides have made their points quite clear.

A smile appeared on Kyohiko's face.

"If you have that kind of determination, then of course I can do it too, but you also need to be mentally prepared..."

"Yes, I can endure any hardship!"

Shisui Uchiha's tone was firm.

Kyohiko shook his head. "That's not what I meant."

"That..."

Shisui paused for a moment, not realizing what Kyohiko was referring to.

Kyohiko said solemnly, "You need to be prepared to be enemies with a part of your clan! Back then, even someone as strong as Madara Uchiha couldn't unify the thoughts within his clan."

"You're the same. No matter how powerful you are, you can't make everyone agree with you. Some people can find common ground while respecting differences, but many others will take extreme measures."

"If it comes to that, are you prepared to become their enemy?"

Kyohiko's question left Shisui speechless, his expression blank, and he fell into a long silence.

Does this really need to be taken to such an extreme?

He didn't say anything.

However, Kyohiko added, "The war of ideas is more difficult than a real war. For example, I may have the ability to wipe out one of your families, but I cannot make every member of your family submit to me!"

"Then... what about Genjutsu manipulation? Perhaps there exists an Genjutsu that can manipulate other people's minds and make them agree with my views!"

Shisui hesitated.

He had heard that the Uchiha Clan possessed a similar secret technique, and that perhaps through research and practice, a similar effect could be achieved.

Kyohiko sighed softly.

Shisui Uchiha...

Although the timeline has changed and his experiences have undergone significant alterations, he is essentially still Shisui Uchiha, yearning for a solution that satisfies both sides.

Genjutsu!

This is the best-case scenario the other party could come up with.

but...

"Genjutsu, can you control it for a lifetime? And how many people can you control? Using magic to solve your own mental problems is clearly the wrong direction."

Kyohiko shook his head.

Shisui paused, taken aback.

Incorrect?

But this was the best solution he could think of, and it was only after he had consulted various materials and clan archives that he had finally found this direction.

"First, you must learn to distinguish between friends and enemies. Increase your friends within the tribe, and gradually you will have fewer enemies."

"So this is what you mean by a war of ideas?"

The Shisui seemed lost in thought.

Kyohiko nodded. "Yes, just like the influence your grandfather had on you!"

Although Kagami Uchiha died before Shisui was born and never saw his grandson, the notes he left behind deeply influenced Shisui.

The Shisui stopped flowing.

Change others with your ideas, and turn them into your friends...

He had never imagined this path before!

"This requires patience and wisdom. To be honest, that's exactly what I want to do for the Uchiha Clan."

Kyohiko said frankly.

Shisui licked her lips. "What should I do?"

"Don't overthink it. Just get more people to accept your ideas. As for the Will of Fire and the safety of Konoha, those are not issues you need to worry about."

Kyohiko replied calmly, "Konoha won't be destroyed just because the Uchiha Clan is gone, but what will happen to the Uchiha if they leave Konoha?"

"You're absolutely right, and the patriarch understands this perfectly well, but we can't convince the clansmen..."

The Shisui sighed.

Kyohiko sneered, "Unable to persuade? Fugaku hasn't even tried. He's been waiting for someone to hand him the opportunity. If your goal in learning is to annihilate Fugaku Uchiha, then you might as well just wipe out the Uchiha!"

Fugaku certainly has abilities, but he's not particularly outstanding when it comes to educating or influencing others.

"I see!"

Shisui nodded emphatically.

Normally, Kyohiko would be preparing to leave by this time, but today was different.

"Your Genjutsu and Body Flicker Technique are quite good. I'll teach you a technique."

"Yes!"

Shisui couldn't hide his joy and immediately activated his Sharingan.

Snap!

With a snap of his fingers, Kyohiko's body transformed into several figures, and then—

Whoosh!

Shisui stepped back, but the knife was still at his neck.

"The Sharingan can see through things, but it might not be able to keep up with the speed. That's something you need to be careful about. Also, did you understand the technique I just used?"

"Yes, I... understood part of it."

Shisui didn't dare to make any definitive statements.

Clone Technique, Genjutsu, Body Flicker Technique, and Lightning Style Chakra to stimulate physical activity.

The scariest thing is--

Kyohiko did not use Hand Seals!

Many Ninjutsu can be completed with a snap of the fingers, and he even had a vague feeling that the snap might be more of a deception than a deception; the key was not the snap itself, but the action.

"Use movement to unleash Genjutsu!"

Shisui looked up, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Although he had previously used his Sharingan to Sharingan contact and cast Genjutsu on Tekka, that was Uchiha Clan ability, while Kyohiko- senpai used Genjutsu through his movements.

A very clever method!

Kyohiko said, "Aside from fingers, theoretically any movement can be used as a medium for releasing Genjutsu, and there's also sound Genjutsu..."

Another snap of the fingers.

Snap!

The Genjutsu was only moderately effective, merely simulating a terrifying roar in Shisui's ear.

He covered his ears, then realized it was all Genjutsu.

"This Genjutsu..."

Shisui was first surprised, then understood.

While the Sharingan can break many Genjutsu, it is more effective at breaking "visual" Genjutsu.

For example, Kyohiko's previous actions.

Sound, however, is not included in this list.

So there are so many intricacies to Genjutsu! My understanding of it before was far too superficial!

Shisui's heart.

Previously, although he did not think his Genjutsu were particularly outstanding, he believed he had a very deep understanding of Genjutsu. However, after witnessing Kyohiko's abilities, he realized that there are always people more skilled than him and that there is always something beyond his understanding.

"Specific techniques are meaningless to you; it's these kinds of skills that you need to master. I used these kinds of skills frequently in my early years."

Kyohiko spoke, he formed a hand Hand Seals and created a Shadow Clone.

Shisui nodded repeatedly, unable to contain his excitement. "Teacher, I understand! I will definitely work even harder!"

The Uchiha Clan issue isn't going to escalate or generate immediate repercussions.

Several days later.

[Under your influence, a couple from the Yuki Clan were fortunate enough to survive and have a child who has developed a strong interest in the Will of Fire and intends to join Konoha!]

[Konoha is growing stronger every day!]

[Reward: Amber Jutsu (Grandmaster)]

Thanks to his solid foundation, Kyohiko was not surprised at all to receive a good reward.

but.

Grandmaster-level Amber Jutsu...

He quickly integrated the memories, experiencing the effects of the new Amber Jutsu.

After a moment, Kyohiko seemed to be deep in thought.

The Amber Jutsu, derived from Wood Release, has become even more powerful. It can be perfectly and freely generated and controlled, trapping enemies within the Amber unseen.

In addition, there is--

To complement the sealing Amber Jutsu.

Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands.

This is a Wood Release Sealing Technique developed by Hashirama Senju, but if combined with the techniques of the Amber Jutsu, a simpler and more perfect sealing effect can be achieved.

"The potential of this technique is beyond doubt."

"You'll only know once you try..."

Kyohiko's figure vanished, and the next instant he appeared in the Forest of Death, and then--

He Hand Seals with his hands.

In an instant, a pine tree grew from the spot that Kyohiko needed.

After a short while, a bird landed.

The next moment.

It suddenly sensed danger, but it was too late.

The moment it landed on the branch, the resin stuck to it and quickly hardened, turning it into a fossil-like substance.

The properties of the Amber Jutsu have undergone further changes!

even.

Kyohiko flicked his finger, and a piece of Amber materialized in his palm, quickly flying away into the distance.

Amber can be created directly through a change in properties, instead of needing to be derived through Wood Release as before.

also...

It also has another function.

Kyohiko created Shadow Clone, which then formed hand Hand Seals and was instantly enveloped in overflowing resin, transforming into a state similar to Amber fossil.

moment.

Natural Energy surged into the Shadow Clone.

In an instant, Kyohiko's Shadow Clone entered a state of assimilation with nature, requiring no further preparation; all that was needed was to adjust the body's energy structure...

Entering Sage Mode takes only a few seconds.

A few seconds later.

Inside the Amber, the Shadow Clone disappeared automatically.

A powerful Senjutsu Chakra erupted from Kyohiko's body, and instantly, his body underwent a special transformation, entering Sage Mode.

This will be the fastest way to replenish Senjutsu Chakra during battle!

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Unexpectedly, the greatest enhancement brought by the Amber Jutsu is Sage Mode..."

While it's not quite at the point where you can enter Sage Mode with a simple clap of your hands, it's not too far off, and--

The significance of the Amber Jutsu lies not only in itself.

Perhaps, it can even help others enter Sage Mode...

but.

This is still just speculation; whether it can be achieved requires further verification.

Kyohiko Flying Thunder God once again.

In Minato Namikaze's home, he sat cross-legged in his room, his mind and body completely immersed in his inner world.

Inside his body...

The Nine-Tails 'Chakra was gathering within the seal, transforming into a small form of the Nine-Tails.

A surge of overwhelming resentment welled up within him.

This wasn't Minato's first encounter with the power of Tailed Beast, but this time, he was about to take a dangerous step—

Slowly unleash the power of the Tailed Beast!

"Theoretically, the double Four Symbols Seal can allow it to slowly dissipate. Although it will disrupt one's own Chakra, over time, it can further improve one's physical constitution."

Minato Namikaze opened his eyes, his hands still forming hand Hand Seals.

This was Genjutsu he learned from Kyohiko to soothe his own emotions, which he now used to suppress the agitation he felt under the influence of the Tailed Beast's power.

A few seconds have passed.

Red Chakra slowly appeared on his body.

Suppress!

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, using his own Chakra to envelop and absorb the energy, attempting to break it down.

After repeated pulling and tugging, he gradually reached a state of equilibrium.

"This is..."

Minato Namikaze was slightly surprised.

He could sense that he had not completely merged with the power of the Tailed Beast, but his physical strength and energy seemed to have been slightly enhanced.

"How powerful would it be if the power of the Tailed Beast were fully unleashed and fused with that power?"

"No wonder Kyohiko was so wary of the research he conducted on Kumogakure!"

Minato Namikaze exhaled.

This step definitely wasn't a success!

His ultimate goal is for Kushina to fully control the Nine-Tails ' power, instead of becoming a human cage like she is now.

but...

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long!

As he was pondering this, a presence appeared outside.

Kyohiko?

Is something the matter?

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment, then walked towards the door without reversing his current state.
