Uchiha Shingen Hates the Cloud Village Most

In that case, let the game begin.

First is the study, where Uchiha Fugaku usually spends the most time. Some documents are also processed here, so they must be carefully examined.

Entering the study, Uchiha Shingen activated his Sharingan, scanning the room back and forth, not even missing a single tatami mat.

I didn't see any words, but I did find a hidden compartment, newly opened, but it was empty.

Okay, got it. I'll come back here next time.

Uchiha Shingen continued to "search" using his Sharingan.

This was a tacit little game that he and Uchiha Fugaku had been playing since they became acquainted.

Every time he comes looking for a character, he only uses his Sharingan; he won't touch it until he finds it.

If he tries to find it, it's as if he's already lost.

Uchiha Fugaku also tacitly agreed to hide the characters only in non-private living areas such as the tea room, study, living room, and training room. If the characters were hidden elsewhere, then Uchiha Fugaku would lose.

One is practicing the Sharingan, and the other is practicing the Hidden Character Technique. Currently, Uchiha Shingen is the clear winner.

This is much more effective than simple spiritual practice; it not only trains the eyes but also the mind.

Unfortunately, it seems that Uchiha Fugaku's calligraphy skills are Gene Lock, as they haven't improved over the years. If he could improve, how would he hide the characters? Even Uchiha Shingen was worried for him.

Would you consider this a case of misplacing skill points?

Here's a little-known secret that Uchiha Fugaku might not know: Uchiha Tekka was actually a calligrapher, and even better than Uchiha Fugaku!

Otherwise, why would Uchiha Tekka always laugh so happily? He really knows calligraphy!

Uchiha Shingen only discovered this secret last year, and he was stunned!

With the thought, "Today's going to be a bit challenging," Uchiha Shingen continued his stroll.

The Uchiha Fugaku is truly powerful; otherwise, this game wouldn't have been able to continue for so many years without changing locations.

Before he knew it, it was almost 5 p. m. when Uchiha Shingen came to his senses.

He'd been searching for so long?

He still hasn't found it?

This is impossible! This is nothing Fugaku!

As darkness truly began to fall, Uchiha Shingen, though unwilling to give up, had to acknowledge a reality.

He actually lost today.

No, he's already lost; he ran out of time.

Giving up the struggle, Uchiha Shingen returned to the courtyard.

As he expected, Uchiha Fugaku was already waiting in the courtyard, leisurely drinking tea.

Seeing Uchiha Shingen emerge, Uchiha Fugaku wore a slightly smug smile.

"Chieftain, where are Mikoto and the others?"

"Yeah, at Minato's house. We're eating there today," Uchiha Fugaku said, glancing at Uchiha Shingen. "You went to Hidden Mist Village, and your skills have deteriorated so much?"

Well, you're already going to Versailles after just one win?

Now Uchiha Shingen understood where Uchiha Sasuke's hilarious "I think I'm good again" personality came from in the original timeline.

"Clan leader, what are you saying?" Uchiha Shingen transformed into a platypus on the spot. "I saw that no one was home in broad daylight, and I was worried that spies might have infiltrated, so I came to check it out."

"Losing is losing, it's not shameful." Uchiha Fugaku thought the tea tasted especially good today.

He put down his teacup and stood up.

"Come with me, I have something to ask you."

"Oh."

Following Uchiha Fugaku into the study, Uchiha Shingen saw him first walk to a landscape painting hanging on the wall.

That expression was filled with deep emotion.

Uchiha Shingen glanced at it.

It's not something from a famous brand, just a cheap piece of junk. What's so special about it?

The next moment, his mouth gaped open, and he stared in disbelief.

Because Uchiha Fugaku touched the painting, a bunch of scrolls suddenly sprayed out from it.

Space-Time Ninjutsu?

This doesn't make sense. He Sharingan and there was no trace of Space-Time Ninjutsu.

Uchiha Shingen realized something and looked at Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Fugaku turned around, his eyes now manifesting as Sharingan, and displaying a unique pattern distinct from the three- Tomoe.

Mangekyō Sharingan!

Uchiha Shingen stared at him in disbelief.

Is this necessary?

Is it really necessary to go this far!?

"The Boundless Heaven and Earth," said Uchiha Fugaku. "That's how I named it. What do you think of this eye technique?"

"That's awesome!" Uchiha Shingen gave a thumbs up. "Clan leader, is it really necessary to push yourself so hard?"

"What do you think?" Uchiha Fugaku said sternly. "So what if you found it? Why are you showing it to that idiot Tekka?"

"It was just a coincidence..."

"Well, it was just a coincidence," Uchiha Fugaku said casually. "I just happened to acquire this eye technique, so I'll give it a try."

You are the clan chief, everything you say is correct.

"Use it less, clan leader." Uchiha Shingen decided he should hold back a bit in the future; using the Mangekyo Sharingan to hide characters was truly insane. "Using it too much will make you blind..."

"Don't worry, this won't damage anything fundamental." Uchiha Fugaku thought to himself that he hadn't been too good to this kid for nothing; these words were quite pleasant to hear. "The Mangekyo Sharingan, I know it better than you do."

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right." Uchiha Shingen nodded frantically like a chicken pecking at rice. "Just use less of it."

"Hmm..." Uchiha Fugaku didn't continue the discussion with Uchiha Shingen; he had serious business to attend to, so he got back to the main topic.

"I talked a lot with the Fourth Mizukage today. Susanoo in Kirigakure?"

When this was mentioned, Uchiha Fugaku's expression turned serious.

"I used it." Uchiha Shingen nodded; there was no need to hide it.

"Still a three- Tomoe?"

"Um."

Upon hearing this answer, Uchiha Fugaku remained silent for a long while.

He had to admit that after being able to use Susanoo, Uchiha Shingen had truly paved a new path for the Uchiha Clan's training.

Previously, it could be argued that because it didn't reach the Mangekyo Sharingan, this road couldn't be compared to traditional roads.

But now that Susanoo has been unleashed, we can't say that anymore.

The greatest value of the Mangekyo Sharingan lies in Susanoo.

The three great dojutsu of the Uchiha Clan, which are also the three forbidden techniques, are Susanoo, Izanagi, and Izanami.

"Although the situation in our clan is not as difficult as it used to be, we still face new challenges. It's good that you can use Susanoo." Uchiha Fugaku nodded. "After using it, did you experience any discomfort in your eyes?"

Using the Mangekyo Sharingan too much will blind you; this is a fundamental principle of the Mangekyo Sharingan, and anyone in the Uchiha Clan who knows about Mangekyo Sharingan knows this.

However, only when you reach a certain level do you realize that if you only use your own unique eye technique with the Mangekyo Sharingan, it will take a very long time before you go blind.

Those who go blind quickly are those who have activated Susanoo.

With one use of Susanoo's eye power, one can use at least ten unique eye techniques.

The closer Susanoo is to its complete form, the faster the Mangekyo Sharingan will go blind.

In other words, the true power of the Mangekyo Sharingan Susanoo.

He knew about the side effects of the Mangekyo Sharingan, but whether using the Three- Tomoe would have any side effects was something only Uchiha Shingen himself knew.

"No, it's the same as usual," Uchiha Shingen said, particularly pleased with this.

"No?" Uchiha Fugaku didn't simply believe it.

It's not that I don't trust Uchiha Shingen, but I'm considering that the aftereffects might not appear at first.

However, since Uchiha Shingen was able to open Susanoo with three Tomoe, Uchiha Fugaku felt that he could teach that technique to Uchiha Shingen.

He was eager to know how far Uchiha Shingen could go.

"Those siblings, were they put in the house next door?"

"Yes, clan leader, the Yuki Clan's Ice Release are quite impressive; you must be kind to them."

"I know without you saying it. Go and invite them to have dinner at the Minato house."

"Chieftain, is that all you're asking me?"

"Of course not, let's go eat first, I'll tell you when I get back."

Chapter 5 Uchiha Shingen hated Cloud Village the most

Uchiha Shingen didn't really want to eat at Minato's house.

Going there for dinner would definitely mean spending the whole night, so his plan to drink until he was drunk was ruined.

But then again, he lost today. Without Uchiha Fugaku's calligraphy, without this important element, he won't be able to get into the spirit of the game...

Although Uchiha Fugaku had already released the document, could he take it? No! It wasn't that Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't let him take it; it was a matter of magnanimity.

A real man, even in defeat, should hold his head high.

Let's try again another day! I'll just freeload for dinner today.

"Alright." With a reply, Uchiha Shingen gave Uchiha Fugaku a defiant look and darted off to the next room.

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head, gathered up the scrolls scattered on the tatami mat, opened his newly created secret compartment, and put them inside.

Only one scroll remained, which was clearly new.

Uchiha Fugaku knew exactly how many scrolls he had hidden here. The extra one that appeared out of nowhere was, of course, the old rule: Uchiha Shingen had sneaked in there.

The methods used to smuggle things are becoming increasingly covert.

Unrolling the scroll and glancing at it, Uchiha Fugaku nodded. Just as he had expected, it was a new version.

It's really not easy to maintain a hobby.

The Mangekyo Sharingan is amazing! From now on, the tide of battle will turn, unless Uchiha Shingen's Sharingan can advance even further.

Hmph, keep trying, brat, or you'll never get to see his original work again!

However, the Yang Release cultivation method developed by that brat is really good; it can actually replenish energy.

Look! It's been updated again.

After carefully putting away the scroll, a cheerful Uchiha Fugaku walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Upon exiting the door, they saw Uchiha Shingen already leading Sakurako and Haku out.

Bai is still just a child; he's not too nervous, but rather full of anticipation.

Sakurako was very uneasy.

Yes, she's a girl with a gentle personality, so it would be quite suitable.

The girl had been very nervous, so I needed to show her the kindness of an elder to make her feel at ease staying in the Uchiha Clan.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku stepped forward, skillfully displaying the kind of mature, compassionate, and reassuring smile he used in public relations.

"Little girl, don't be too nervous. Everyone here is family."

Sakurako bowed quickly.

"Lord Shadow Assistant."
