Uchiha Yuzhen's dōjutsu were straightforward.
Left eye: Ichimokuren.
Right eye: Ame-no-Murakumo.
The 'Ichimokuren' of his left eye was slightly more complex in its function.
This dōjutsu was capable of narrowing down an otherwise infinite future into a "single" outcome.
In other words, once he decided to "sever the opponent's arm," every method he employed would become the most logical strike to ensure that arm was cut off.
As for the dōjutsu of his right eye, 'Ame-no-Murakumo,' it was simple and brutal!
Once activated, this dōjutsu could unleash a flash of sword light from his eyes.
As long as his eyes could see the target, that sword light could directly cleave through abstract concepts like time, space, karma, and predestination in a single stroke!
Upon realizing the nature of his dōjutsu, the words "invincible and peerless" surfaced in Uchiha Yuzhen's mind.
Ichimokuren limited the enemy to their most disadvantageous future, while Ame-no-Murakumo could slash through anything.
He figured that with these two dōjutsu, he would become the first person in the Ninja World to "kill with a glance!"
Uchiha Yuzhen opened his Mangekyō Sharingan and arrived at the edge of a pool.
He gazed into the clear, tranquil water.
He saw that the three tomoe were long gone from his scarlet eyes. Instead, a somewhat intricate pattern bloomed and shimmered within his irises.
A straight tomoe pattern? That makes sense... my dōjutsu are both focused on direct power.
Since there isn't a single genjutsu among them, it clearly couldn't be a curved tomoe pattern.
He was very satisfied with his dōjutsu, and the Mangekyō pattern was quite impressive as well.
However, his changes were not limited to his dōjutsu alone.
At this very moment, Uchiha Yuzhen could feel that with the awakening of his Mangekyō Sharingan, his body felt as if a shackle had been broken.
It was as if a vast amount of potential was about to surge forth from the depths of his being.
Yuzhen clenched his fist and whispered to himself, "There is no doubt about it; every Uchiha who awakens the Mangekyō becomes a powerhouse comparable to a Kage."
"It's not just because of the dōjutsu! There are physical changes as well!"
He could feel that his chakra would surge significantly over the next period of time.
"And... I can feel it. That guardian deity belonging to me will take shape very soon."
Susanoo—the guardian deity of the Uchiha.
It was an ability possessed by everyone who awakened the Mangekyō.
This power was also formidable, though he would need to master it step by step.
So, his goal for the time being—during this period while Team Minato was recuperating before the outbreak of the Third Great Ninja War—was to consolidate the power of his Mangekyō.
He would become a true Kage-level powerhouse!
With his thoughts cleared, Uchiha Yuzhen began his formal training right there.
Land of Water, Kirigakure.
Inside the Mizukage's office, the elderly Third Mizukage picked up a piece of intelligence from his desk.
"Oh? So the brat who killed Biwa Juzo has actually pulled off such a major feat?"
"He participated in the mission regarding the Kazekage's death?"
At this moment, Genji the Fourth, who served as the Mizukage's aide, let out a faint sigh.
"This Uchiha Yuzhen... if I recall correctly, he is the one who killed Biwa Juzo, isn't he?"
Genji was deeply shocked; it hadn't been long since this Uchiha Yuzhen had killed their village's representative figure.
And now, he had gotten himself involved in the mission concerning the Kazekage's death?!
The intelligence report from Sunagakure stated it clearly.
This Uchiha Yuzhen, much like his own team leader, possessed the ability to teleport instantly.
As an old veteran, Genji knew exactly what that was.
It was the Flying Thunder God of the Senju of the Forest!
This technique was...
A ninjutsu capable of rivaling the Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan!
If he wasn't mistaken.
The intelligence indicated that, This Uchiha Yuzhen was only twelve years old, right?
At this age, To be this powerful.
Coupled with the Flying Thunder God...
If this brat were to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan in the future...
Would the ninja world see the emergence of...
A new Asura of the Ninja World? Or perhaps a new God of Shinobi?
Thinking of this, Genji could no longer sit still.
He spoke urgently to his old partner, the Third Mizukage.
"Your Majesty, for our current intelligence gathering on Konoha, let us make this Uchiha Yuzhen our core focus!"
"We must collect every piece of information on him!"
Genji, wise with age, had a very straightforward line of thinking.
Collect all intelligence on this person and learn his preferences.
In the event that this Uchiha Yuzhen truly grew to that level of power, They would be able to cater to his interests.
And by doing so, preserve Kirigakure.
"Genji, why must we do this?"
"My reasoning is as follows..." Hearing the Mizukage's confusion, Genji laid out the thoughts he had just formulated in his mind.
After hearing the explanation, a flash of red light crossed the Third Mizukage's eyes.
"Indeed, I am also a ninja who lived through that era."
"We should certainly consider how we would conduct ourselves if the Uchiha were to produce another ninja of such immense power."
"Then, let this boy be the primary target for all future intelligence!"
Hearing this, Genji nodded in relief.
However, what he failed to notice was that, Deep within the pupils of the Third Mizukage's eyes, a speck of deep red began to squirm.
On the other side, in a gloomy cave.
An elderly man with white hair and an intimidating aura let out a soft "Hm?"
Hearing his expression of doubt, a strange being whose body was half white and half black, Asked the old man:
"Lord Madara? What is it?"
"Interesting. Very interesting!" Uchiha Madara chuckled, his gaze shifting toward the strange being: "Zetsu... a very interesting little fellow has appeared within the Uchiha clan."
That was right. For these past few decades, he had been using Genjutsu to control the Third Mizukage.
Which meant...
Whatever the Mizukage knew, he knew as well.
The intelligence report the Mizukage had just seen, He had seen it too, through the ocular power link used to control the Mizukage.
Uchiha Yuzhen, twelve years old.
A Three Tomoe Sharingan.
He had also mastered the "Flying Thunder God" technique from that trash, Tobirama.
His combat record was equally impeccable.
He had slain Biwa Juzo and held his own in a fierce struggle against Sasori of the Red Sands.
A genius!
Without a doubt, a genius of the Uchiha!
Madara asked himself, at that age.
He was not as strong as Uchiha Yuzhen.
One simple point made that clear.
He had been fifteen when, under pressure from his father, he was forced to cross blades with Hashirama.
Only then did he awaken his Sharingan.
Yet this brat was already at the Three Tomoe stage at twelve...
And he possessed the troublesome technique of the Flying Thunder God.
He knew better than anyone just how difficult that technique was to deal with!
Izuna, who possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, had been killed by that despicable Senju Tobirama using that very technique!
This boy's talent was truly terrifying.
Regardless of anything else, he had to observe him!
He needed to observe his character to see if it would impact his own plans.
To see if he could, Become the successor to his grand design!
