Qingcheng took out a small mirror and stared at the pinwheel-patterned Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes, saying excitedly, "Let's test my ocular techniques first. If they're space-time types, I'll raid Danzo's lair tonight."
Qingcheng first used the ocular technique in his right eye. A black hole instantly appeared before him, like a small portal, very similar to Otsutsuki Kaguya's Yomotsu Hirasaka. He entered the spatial rift, then casually came back out.
After Qingcheng opened the black-hole rift with his right eye, he leaped into Yomi Space.
When the Mangekyō Sharingan stopped spinning, the black spatial rift vanished instantly. The clan leader's office returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
Standing within Yomi Space, Qingcheng was met by an aura of desolation. Looking around, he saw that Yomi Space was a yellow primordial realm roughly two hundred square meters in size, somewhat like Kaguya's primordial space.
Qingcheng thought, I must have awakened this ocular technique because I really want to smash Obito to death. Yomotsu Hirasaka can tear open any space I can see. As long as I leave behind ocular power as spatial coordinates, I can keep tearing open space and return to my own Yomi Space.
Qingcheng was extremely satisfied. Smiling, he said, "As expected of an ocular technique that cost Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Itachi, and five hundred years of Danzo's lifespan."
Even the Kamui Dimension could have a spatial rift torn into it as long as it appeared within his line of sight. He could also return to his own space and avoid damage from other people's ninjutsu.
Standing in Yomi Space, Qingcheng began using the ocular technique in his left eye. A black rift appeared within Yomi Space, and within his left eye's field of vision, the rift began to compress and divide space violently.
Like a black hole, this spatial rift would violently devour living creatures within his sight and instantly tear and slice enemies apart.
It would turn opponents into dust and make them disappear into the spatial rift. However, its drawbacks were obvious: it was rather slow, required a huge amount of ocular power and Chakra, and was not easy to land on an opponent.
The ocular technique in his left eye was called Divine Army. Qingcheng said regretfully, "This technique's destructive power is even greater than an S-rank ultimate ninjutsu, but its consumption is terrifying too. In three seconds, it can drain an entire bar of Chakra."
The decline in his ocular power was also obvious. Qingcheng had only used it slightly, yet his left eye already felt as though it were burning, and the pain was intense.
Covering his aching left eye, Qingcheng said helplessly, "Without awakening the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, I can't use this move more than a few times. It's practically the standard equipment for an Uchiha with presbyopia."
If he used both Mangekyō together, he could unleash Yomi God-King and drag those crushed opponents into Yomi Space.
Qingcheng then tried activating Susanoo. His scarlet Mangekyō pinwheels spun, and a ten-meter-tall yellow skeletal giant appeared, directly enveloping him.
This was the second form of Susanoo. At the next level, flesh would grow over the yellow skeletal frame, making its defensive power even more terrifying.
However, the higher it went, the more ocular power and Chakra it required. Qingcheng was only testing Susanoo, not trying to smash anyone. The second form was enough; there was no need to overdo it.
Standing inside the massive Susanoo skeleton, Qingcheng casually swept his gaze over the ground. The huge skeletal palm suddenly slammed down.
After only two minutes, Qingcheng felt pain beginning in both eyes, as though they were being pricked by needles. Blood began to flow from them, and his vision started worsening.
Qingcheng thought, I have to get Hashirama Cells tonight. Only then can I keep using it without going blind.
Qingcheng used Yomotsu Hirasaka with his right eye. A black spatial rift appeared before him like a portal. He leaped straight into it and instantly returned to his house.
Qingcheng deactivated his Mangekyō Sharingan and sat on the sofa, looking at his nearly depleted Chakra. He thought, As expected of the Mangekyō Sharingan. It can suck someone dry and cripple them. Its power is terrifying, but it really is a double-edged sword.
Qingcheng immediately sat cross-legged and began extracting Chakra.
Just then, Kurenai Yuhi entered the Uchiha Clan Compound with a troubled expression. Looking rather awkward, she said, "Qingcheng, are you here? I just went to resign, but the Konoha higher-ups refused. They even gave me a mission: escort a minister from the Land of Hot Water."
Hearing Kurenai's words, Qingcheng abruptly opened his eyes. Alert, he said, "They refused to let Kurenai resign from being a ninja and even assigned her a mission. There's definitely something fishy going on."
Qingcheng immediately got up, pushed open the door, and headed into the courtyard. Seeing the troubled Kurenai, he asked with concern, "Kurenai, what happened? Why didn't they agree?"
Looking embarrassed, Kurenai began explaining, "The Konoha mission department said our village has too few jonin. The higher-ups gave the order that I'm not allowed to resign for the time being."
Qingcheng smiled and reached out to stroke Kurenai's pretty face. "When are you leaving? I'll prepare a few things for you to take along for protection."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingcheng took out a Ninjutsu Scroll and said seriously, "There are two hundred thousand Explosive Tags, one hundred and twenty thousand Soldier Pills, and one hundred thousand kunai inside."
"These were all taken from the Shimura Clan. There were six hundred thousand Explosive Tags, two hundred thousand Soldier Pills, and five hundred thousand kunai in total."
"There are also twelve boxes filled with Ryo and Ninjutsu Scrolls, totaling six hundred trillion Ryo."
"The Ninjutsu Scrolls are very comprehensive. They contain Wind Release, Fire Release, Earth Release, Water Release, Lightning Release, and even the Flying Thunder God Technique, Mutual Exploding Tag, genjutsu, the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, Eight Trigrams Sealing Style, Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique, and several S-rank ninjutsu."
Qingcheng guessed that Danzo had copied all of these from the Scroll of Seals using his status as a Konoha higher-up. He just had not expected the Shimura Clan to be so inherently useless that nobody had learned them.
This was a bargain for the Uchiha Clan. Qingcheng knew Sasuke could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even that brat Boruto had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique from Sasuke.
As for the Mutual Exploding Tag Technique, it was not that difficult either. He had Yomi Space, so he could store Explosive Tags there and release them in an endless stream whenever he needed them.
Kurenai looked at the Ninjutsu Scroll in Qingcheng's hand, her face full of shock. She said in astonishment, "Two hundred thousand Explosive Tags could completely destroy a small city. Giving them all to me is far too extravagant."
Kurenai then added, "And one hundred and twenty thousand Soldier Pills? How long would I have to eat them for? Qingcheng, shouldn't you take some back?"
Qingcheng said seriously, "You're going on a mission. Using some Explosive Tags is perfectly normal. If you spot enemies lying in ambush, bombard them with Explosive Tags. Save your Chakra for escaping."
Looking at the scroll Qingcheng offered her, Kurenai could not help feeling moved. She said gratefully, "Thank you, Qingcheng. Nothing will happen to me. I'll definitely return safely."
Qingcheng took out a Three-pronged Kunai and infused it with the ocular power of Yomotsu Hirasaka before handing it to Kurenai. He said seriously, "This kunai was left behind by my father, Uchiha Yongcheng. It still has some of his Chakra on it.
"If you encounter danger, pour Chakra into it and throw it out. My father visited me in a dream last month and said he had awakened the Super Invincible Sharingan."
Qingcheng continued making things up with a straight face. "Yongcheng has already transcended the Realm of Yin-Yang. As long as you shout, 'Uchiha Yongcheng, come help!' he'll appear in time."
Kurenai was utterly astonished. She said incredulously, "Super Invincible Sharingan? Transcended the Realm of Yin-Yang? What is going on?"
Qingcheng smiled and explained, "At first, I didn't believe it either. But my father felt I was too pitiful, so he even used Chakra to strengthen my body. I can cultivate ninjutsu now."
Kurenai was shocked again. Seeing Qingcheng raise a ball of flame in his right hand with such ease, she began to believe him. Excitedly, she said, "Qingcheng, it's wonderful that you can cultivate now. You won't have to be the dead last anymore."
Kurenai then took the Explosive Tags and the Three-pronged Kunai for summoning Uchiha Yongcheng, changed into red ninja clothes, and headed out to meet her teammates.
After watching Kurenai leave, Qingcheng's expression turned serious. He said coldly, "Danzo must be setting his sights on the Uchiha Clan. I haven't even gone looking for trouble with you yet, but you've already jumped out. Let's play and see which of us dies first."
"Your opponent is the genius clan leader of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Qingcheng."
