Inside the Uchiha clan leader's office, Uchiha Fugaku looked at the two geniuses of his clan and asked with a gentle smile, "What brings you two to me?"

Obito turned his head to glance at Uchiha Shisui, signaling him.

Uchiha Shisui nodded, stepped forward, activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and gazed at Uchiha Fugaku with blood-red eyes.

Uchiha Fugaku rose abruptly, staring at Uchiha Shisui's Three-Tomoe Sharingan before glancing back at Obito, his expression filled with shock and suspicion.

"Clan Leader, I won't beat around the bush. I have a method to rapidly improve the Sharingan without any side effects."

Obito activated his own Mangekyo Sharingan and spoke directly.

"Is what you say true?"

Uchiha Fugaku's voice trembled. He looked at the two pairs of eyes before him, his hands pressed against the desk until the veins bulged.

"As everyone knows, the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan belongs to Yin Release, and Yin Release is deeply connected to spiritual energy."

"For our clansmen to awaken their eyes, they must experience intense emotional fluctuations through battlefield slaughter or the death of loved ones; the same applies to the evolution of the Sharingan."

"But in truth, intense emotional fluctuation is merely the surface. The reality is that the immense stimulation causes the soul to vibrate, leading to a surge in spiritual energy."

"However, this extreme method has endless hidden dangers. Most of our Uchiha clansmen are incredibly stubborn—once they set their minds on something, they never turn back. This is closely related to the way we awaken our eyes through stimulation-induced spiritual growth."

Obito swept a glance at the stunned Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui, cleared his throat, and continued, "My method is a Meditation Technique specifically for cultivating spiritual energy. It can stably increase spiritual energy without side effects, allowing for safe eye awakening and even advancement to the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"Can the Mangekyo Sharingan be improved as well?"

Uchiha Fugaku's expression turned ecstatic as he looked at Obito with excitement.

"Let me finish."

Obito gave Uchiha Fugaku a dissatisfied look and continued, "The essence of advancing from the Three-Tomoe Sharingan to the Mangekyo Sharingan is also an increase in spiritual energy. However, because this is a major breakthrough, it requires a massive amount of spiritual energy. Under normal circumstances, even with stimulation, it is difficult to advance."

"Only those with extremely high aptitude for spiritual energy can possibly advance to the Mangekyo Sharingan under immense stimulation."

"But even then, there are hidden dangers."

"Will it lead to gradual blindness?"

Uchiha Fugaku asked subconsciously, then immediately covered his mouth.

Obito shook his head helplessly and continued, "Because there is no orthodox method for cultivating spiritual energy, Uchiha clansmen who advance to the Mangekyo Sharingan through stimulation become particularly extreme; once they fixate on something, no one can persuade them otherwise."

"That is only one aspect. On the other hand, due to insufficient spiritual energy, most people consume the inherent foundation of the Mangekyo Sharingan itself when using it. This is detrimental to further evolution and leads to gradual blindness."

"And the so-called method of merging the Mangekyo Sharingan of two biological brothers to advance to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is also a crooked path."

"In reality, it is because the ocular power contained within the Mangekyo Sharingan is the source of spiritual energy. The rejection between the spiritual sources of biological brothers is minimal, so the one who merges them can greatly increase their own spiritual energy. Once the spiritual energy is sufficient, it no longer consumes the foundation of the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"As for the subsequent Rinnegan, the situation is similar, but it requires an even more massive amount of spiritual energy. Without an orthodox cultivation method, it is extremely difficult to achieve."

"I am finished."

Obito looked at the mesmerized Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui, reminding them.

Uchiha Fugaku snapped out of it, took a deep breath, and as his mood gradually calmed, he asked with a complex expression, "What do you want?"

"I want to become the clan leader."

Obito looked at Uchiha Fugaku and stated it directly.

"Very well, I agree."

Uchiha Fugaku did not hesitate, nodding decisively.

Obito looked at Uchiha Fugaku in surprise, asking suspiciously, "Don't you want to ask about my conditions?"

"No need."

Uchiha Fugaku walked to the window, watching the Uchiha clansmen walking on the street below, and sighed, "Since you are willing to hand over such a secret technique, I trust you."

"No matter what secrets you hold, as long as you can lead the Uchiha clan to prosperity, the Uchiha will always be your backing."

Obito looked Uchiha Fugaku up and down, then suddenly smiled: "Clan Leader, I find that I underestimated you in the past."

"Afterward, I will appoint you as the Deputy Clan Leader of the Uchiha. You will remain responsible for all specific affairs."

"I will only control the general direction of the Uchiha clan and carry out some reforms."

"Rest assured, these will all be beneficial to the Uchiha clan. I will make the Uchiha clan flourish."

Uchiha Fugaku smiled with relief and nodded, "Good. Tomorrow I will convene a clan meeting to announce this."

"But the Meditation Technique is of great importance and is not suitable for large-scale promotion for the time being. I will only inform the elders and the elites of the clan. To the outside world, we will claim that you have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. I hope you don't mind."

Obito also smiled and nodded, "That is only natural. The Clan Leader is very thoughtful."

Beside them, Uchiha Shisui watched as the position of clan leader changed hands peacefully in the blink of an eye. He found it somewhat unbelievable, even feeling that perhaps he had been overthinking things all along—perhaps the position of Hokage could also be handed over peacefully, allowing for smooth reforms.

Taking a shimmering crystal from the Kamui Dimension, Obito handed it to Uchiha Fugaku and said, "The Meditation Technique is inside. Calm your mind, focus, and channel your chakra into it. The specific cultivation method will be transmitted directly into your mind."

Uchiha Fugaku took it with extreme caution, sat down on the floor right there, and began to experiment on the spot.

Half an hour later, Uchiha Fugaku opened his eyes in pleasant surprise and muttered, "It is real. Heaven bless the Uchiha."

Rising abruptly from the floor, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes flashed with brilliance. He looked at Obito solemnly and said, "I will go notify the elders immediately and discuss your appointment as clan leader with them. You should go back and prepare."

"Very well."

Obito nodded, then pulled the still-doubting Uchiha Shisui toward the door.
