Young Mito

Senju Clan Grounds.

Inside the Clan Head Residence.

Uchiha Mikoto was gently wiping down Uzumaki Mito's body.

Senju Genma had not misjudged Mikoto's talent.

Mito and Mikoto had only spent two years together, yet it was enough for Mikoto to awaken the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

She was far stronger than Second Pillar, who had only awakened a single-tomoe Sharingan out of rage after witnessing his entire clan's annihilation!

Senju Genma picked up a mirror and activated his own Sharingan.

The Three-Tomoe Sharingan appeared, and immediately, the tomoe began to rotate rapidly, connecting with the black dot in the center. They formed a blade-like pattern resembling a kunai that connected to the outer rim, with black lines linking the blades and a hollow space outlined by black lines between every two blades.

Senju Genma felt no discomfort in his eyes, nor did his body suffer any negative side effects.

Genma understood that this was because his Sharingan was, in essence, a Sage Eye, allowing him to skip the ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan stage and manifest directly as an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

He went to the training ground within the residence, dismissed the Senju Clan ninjas responsible for guarding the perimeter, and began testing the abilities of his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

The Clan Head Residence was the most important location in the Senju Clan Grounds, protected by a barrier twenty-four hours a day, so there was no fear of his Mangekyo Sharingan being exposed to public view.

After two and a half hours of exploration, Senju Genma finally grasped the abilities of his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Like other Mangekyo Sharingan users, he had gained two ocular techniques: Kamimusubi and Oonamuchi.

The right eye's technique was Kamimusubi, which allowed him to manipulate the space within his line of sight; using this space manipulation consumed his own ocular power and mental energy.

The left eye's technique was Oonamuchi, which allowed him to absorb and release life force from himself or objects he touched. Absorbing and releasing only consumed ocular power, and the efficiency was also affected by his ocular power levels.

Of course, he also possessed the third power that could only be unlocked by a matching pair of Mangekyo Sharingan: the power of a god known as Susanoo.

Although Senju Genma had skipped directly to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, his ocular power had still increased significantly. He could already bypass the initial ribcage stage and summon a silver-white, half-body skeletal form with four arms.

Furthermore, his Susanoo possessed a spirit weapon: Ame-no-Murakumo, also known as the Kusanagi Sword.

In the world of Hokage, the Kusanagi Sword was a category of swords, not a specific blade.

For instance, Orochimaru and Second Pillar both possessed Kusanagi Swords.

This Ame-no-Murakumo was one such Kusanagi Sword, existing as a spirit weapon within his Susanoo technique.

As a spirit weapon, Ame-no-Murakumo was a divine sword without a physical form, possessing ultimate shape and nature transformation. It could not only change its form at will but also alter its own attributes based on the enemy's, achieving an effect of being able to cut through anything and remaining indestructible.

Senju Genma controlled the Susanoo to raise the giant silver-white sword, nodded in satisfaction, and then let the Susanoo dissipate before walking back into the residence.

Upon entering, the perfectly preserved body of Uzumaki Mito came into view.

Senju Genma looked at Uzumaki Mito's corpse, and a bold idea suddenly formed in his mind!

He slowly approached the body, placed his hand upon it, and stared intently at Mito with his vibrant Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Genma, what are you doing?" Mikoto asked, somewhat confused.

"There is a technique I want to try."

As soon as Senju Genma finished speaking, a green light emerged from Uzumaki Mito's corpse, and her originally aged, withered body rapidly became youthful and full of vitality.

Uchiha Mikoto's mouth fell open in astonishment.

Regrettably, although Uzumaki Mito's body had regained its vitality, she did not wake up.

"Did it fail?" Senju Genma sighed.

Although he could still feel warmth while touching the body, Uzumaki Mito was indeed still in a state of "death."

Senju Genma had been mentally prepared for this, so he was not overly disappointed.

The key to a technique for resurrecting the dead did not lie in life force, but in bringing the soul back from the Pure Land and anchoring it to this world.

Senju Genma shook his head and left the room.

For the next period of time, Senju Genma had no missions, so he simply settled Uzumaki Mito's body and began organizing everything he had gained over the years within the clan grounds.

Possessing the Sage Eye and Sage Body, he had chakra of all seven attributes—Fire, Water, Wind, Lightning, Earth, Yin, and Yang—and his control over chakra nature and shape transformation was far superior to the average person.

Under these circumstances, he had mastered all the ninjutsu recorded within the Senju Clan.

He had even learned the Reanimation technique.

Senju Genma was confident that even without relying on the power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he would have nothing to fear when facing any Kage-level powerhouse.

However, he lacked confidence when facing Super-Kage or Six Paths-level powerhouses.

Setting aside Kaguya Otsutsuki, a Six Paths-level powerhouse who was defeated by plot armor.

In the future, Isshiki Otsutsuki, Momoshiki Otsutsuki, Kinshiki Otsutsuki, and Urashiki Otsutsuki would all appear.

There was also the legendary Shibai Otsutsuki, whose level of evolution was closest to that of a god, though fortunately, he had already transcended this dimension—it was just unclear if he could return.

These were all troublesome enemies.

Judging by the current situation, the Sage of Six Paths existed within the Pure Land and still possessed the power to interfere with the living world.

If they had any other trump cards, Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki could also become major enemies.

After all, I am coveting their mother's body!

Thinking of this, Senju Genma, lying on his bed, turned over restlessly.

To contend with these enemies, his current strength was completely insufficient.

Therefore, the power of the God Tree Fruit was essential, and he absolutely had to obtain the Otsutsuki Clan's techniques for converting chakra fruits and refining medicinal pills.

While swallowing the God Tree Fruit directly would certainly grant immense power, it would also cause one to merge into the God Tree itself.

For this reason, he needed the Otsutsuki Clan's pill-refining techniques to process the fruit into a pill capable of evolving his own body.

The chakra fruit conversion technique was also quite useful; it could transform living organisms into chakra fruits, which, when combined with pill-refining techniques, could be used to create pills with weaker effects.

Setting aside the chakra fruit conversion and pill-refining techniques for a moment, only the extraterrestrial Otsutsuki Clan knew how to use them.

Thus, the most important thing right now was the God Tree Fruit.

To obtain the God Tree Fruit, the Ten-Tails was a necessity.

The current Ten-Tails was still an empty shell devoid of chakra, sealed on the moon by Hamura and Hagoromo.

To summon the Ten-Tails' empty shell, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, one required the Rinnegan.

Lying on the bed, Senju Genma touched the corners of his eyes and muttered to himself:

"I'm afraid it will still take quite some time for my eyes to evolve into the Rinnegan."

"If I remember correctly, during the time Jiraiya was teaching Nagato, I saw Nagato's Rinnegan."

"That means Nagato has a ready-made pair of Rinnegan right now, and he doesn't even know how to use them!"

Regarding the Susanoo and the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

After checking the original work and source materials, the conclusion reached is that activating the Complete Body Susanoo has nothing to do with whether one possesses the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan; it only relates to ocular power and chakra volume. Compared to the Mangekyo Sharingan, the Eternal Mangekyo enhances insight and possesses eternal light.

The ocular power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is not infinite either; Sasuke has experienced situations where his ocular power was insufficient. "Eternal" ocular power refers to the fact that the eyes will not go blind and that ocular power can recover.

Ocular power is a special type of chakra generated by spiritual energy, and its upper limit must still be increased through training.

The term "Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan" does not exist in the original work. Based on the original work and source materials, the Eternal Mangekyo most likely refers to the Straight Tomoe Sharingan, so in this text, the Eternal Mangekyo will be treated as the Straight Tomoe Sharingan.

At the same time, the Eternal Mangekyo is essentially a Mangekyo that never goes blind; it is simply a special type of Mangekyo Sharingan.
