True Brain Hole

PS: 1. Please add to your library and recommend; I need every single one!

2. One of Little Whale's insights after reading too much fanfiction: Characters are impossibly mature at a young age, discussing the world's grand strategy at three or four, becoming the world's richest person by five or six. The "intelligence-lowering halo" kicks in, everyone treats them like a god, and the flattery flows like a tide! (This insight applies to all novels.)

...I am a dividing line...

Injecting will into a "seed" is one of the steps to creating a Nen Beast.

What Suifeng did not expect, however, was that the moment he began, the Zanpakuto in his mind suddenly stirred. In an instant, the "seed" that had been linked to his consciousness spiraled out of control.

"This is...!"

Before he could react, he saw nine tentacles erupt from the "seed," connecting directly to his forehead.

A chill spread across his brow. He watched helplessly as the "seed," pulled by the nine tentacles, merged into his forehead. The icy sensation lingered for a few seconds before fading, and his consciousness reconnected with the "seed."

"Doesn't look like anything changed."

A trace of disappointment rose in his heart.

The Zanpakuto had only moved once and then went silent, but the "seed" had manifested in his mind. It had undergone some changes: its color had turned blood-red, and in the center of that crimson hue, a pitch-black vortex rotated slowly, like a black hole.

A blood-red sphere with a black center—isn't this just the eye of the Uchiha clan?

Yes, the "seed" now manifested in his mind was almost identical to an Uchiha eye, the only difference being the lack of a few commas.

Suifeng tried filling it with his chakra. Soon, the chakra vanished, and the chakra inside the "seed" seemed to increase slightly.

He then tried to extract chakra from the "seed," and a wisp flowed out into his body.

"This is just a Yin Seal!"

After testing it a few times, he confirmed that the function of the "seed" he had created was similar to the Yin Seal—both stored and released reserve chakra.

The difference was that this "seed" could evolve into his Nen Beast, or rather, a Tailed Beast that belonged solely to him.

But how it would evolve and when was beyond his judgment. This thing was like the Mangekyo; until the evolution was complete, no one knew what kind of abilities it would possess.

He stood up and walked to the mirror, checking his forehead, only to find a complex pattern etched there.

"I really did become the Leader!"

Looking at the pattern identical to the one on the Leader's forehead, Suifeng couldn't help but complain. This pattern was a seal, but not a standard one. It should be like the Sharingan—a reflection of the heart. In other words, because he thought the pattern on the Leader's head was cool, the seal formed by reflecting his deepest desires.

"I was supposed to have a 'brain hole' cheat, but now I actually have a hole in my brain!"

How much do I love the Leader?! Even my brain hole grew to look just like his!

He twitched his lips helplessly and silently put on his Konoha headband. No one in this world knew of the Leader; seeing this, the first thing people would think of was a sealing technique, like the Caged Bird or the Yin Seal. In any case, it would raise suspicion, so he had better keep a low profile.

If he couldn't hide until the grand finale, he should at least hide until he awakened his own Mangekyo, right?

Come to think of it, with this "seed" to store reserve chakra, as long as he worked hard, he should be able to meet the requirements to awaken the Mangekyo soon, right?

He thought to himself that the Mangekyo was known as the "eye that reflects the heart." In his understanding, it was like a low-quality wish-granting machine that reflected the deepest desires of one's heart to form special abilities.

So, what was his deepest desire? Could he create seven "seeds" and pretend to be the Dragon Balls to make a wish?

...I am a dividing line...

Time flew by. The death of the White Fang caused a huge stir in Konoha, but time eventually smoothed everything over.

The Hokage faction were all skilled, foul-smelling politicians who handled the situation with ease.

Soon, Murakami Ame was labeled a spy for an enemy nation and executed, which pacified the outraged Anbu. At the same time, the higher-ups began a reorganization of the Anbu, kicking out the die-hard loyalists of the White Fang. Within a few days, the matter had completely settled down. Aside from a few ninjas drowning their sorrows in Konoha's taverns and Kakashi becoming increasingly silent, there were no more ripples.

Three months passed quickly. It was February of the 40th year of Konoha, and the Chunin Exams were about to begin.

In those three months, Suifeng had followed Fushan to complete four C-rank missions and over a dozen D-rank missions, meeting the criteria for promotion to Chunin. During the same period, Kakashi entered a mode of accepting missions frantically, ending up in the hospital several times. While Kakashi was hospitalized, Suifeng—who had formed a small group with Obito and Rin—visited a few times, but he left after saying only a few words. By then, Kakashi had completely closed off his heart.

This made Obito and Rin very worried, and it made Suifeng's act very difficult to maintain.

"Hey, Suifeng, are you really going to participate in this Chunin Exams?!"

Coming out of the hospital again, Obito asked curiously, "You haven't been graduated for long, have you?!"

"Kakashi is even younger than me. As a member of the Uchiha, how can I fall behind others?!" Suifeng glanced at Obito. "As for you, work harder. You haven't even graduated yet; you're truly a disgrace to the Uchiha!"

"You're the one who's a disgrace to the Uchiha!"

Obito, who couldn't take a joke, exploded again, swinging his fist toward Suifeng.

Bang!!

Suifeng caught his fist, and it couldn't move an inch further.

"You, let go, let go!!"

Obito's face turned red as he used all his strength to break free, but it was all in vain.

"Your speed is too slow, your strength is too weak, you're like a girl. Obito, if you keep going like this, you won't be able to keep up with me and Kakashi!!"

"You're lying! As long as I awaken my eyes, I'll definitely be able to beat you."

"Did you get something wrong? I'm also an Uchiha. You have the Sharingan, do you think I don't?!" A Two-Tomoe Sharingan emerged.

"Two-Tomoe, Two-Tomoe, your eyes have evolved again?!"

Seeing the Two-Tomoe Sharingan in Suifeng's eyes, Obito forgot to struggle, his entire being falling into a state of shock.

He had already awakened the Two-Tomoe? The guy was only seven—no, eight years old, right!

Awakening the Two-Tomoe at eight; even within the Uchiha clan, he had never heard of such a thing!

"So, if you don't work harder, you won't even have the chance to eat our dust!"

Suifeng let go of Obito's hand and said, "Alright, I'm heading back to train. See you!"

The next moment, his figure flickered and vanished without a trace.

"So fast!"

Although Rin had been watching Suifeng the entire time, she hadn't seen how he left. Beside her, Obito was still blustering and shouting, though his tone carried an unprecedented sense of insecurity.

Suifeng was progressing too quickly—so quickly that Obito felt no desire to even chase after him.

However, seeing the dazed and mesmerized expression on Rin's face, his fighting spirit returned in an instant. "Hmph, Suifeng, just you wait! One day, I will defeat you!"

The idiot still hadn't realized that the biggest gap between him and Suifeng wasn't their strength, but their looks!
