Our Eyes Hold Infinite Possibilities! The Sarutobi Clan

Our Eyes Hold Infinite Possibilities! The Sarutobi Clan

"Body Flicker Shisui, truly worthy of being Uchiha's top genius!"

Xuanyu saw through the secret behind Shisui's Body Flicker Technique and could not help admiring his strength.

Leaving aside the Mangekyō Sharingan's Kotoamatsukami, this Body Flicker Technique alone was a complete cheat. He just did not know the maximum distance these clones could travel, or how many there could be at most.

If they could reach several kilometers, or even farther, then this technique would be nearly invincible.

Even if the clones' range was limited, this ability, if used in actual combat, was comparable to Pain's Six Paths!

With a thought, one could cross space and time in a brief teleportation.

However, Shisui was still lacking in Chakra reserves, though he was young.

Training Grounds!

After Uchiha Shisui knocked Itachi down, all his clones returned.

The clones dispersed.

Only Shisui remained, looking down at Itachi sprawled on the ground as he slowly said, "You have good talent, but you do not yet have a signature technique of your own. You must know that every renowned top-tier ninja needs their own ninjutsu!"

Uchiha Shisui looked at Itachi, explaining what it took to become a top-tier ninja!

Overall, Itachi was very strong and highly talented. His future achievements would definitely not be limited to jonin, but Shisui wanted him to understand his current strength so that he could grow even stronger.

"My own ninjutsu?" Itachi seemed to be pondering, or perhaps considering what kind of ninjutsu he ought to learn.

"It does not necessarily have to be a special ninjutsu. Ninjutsu is about mastery, not quantity. As long as you master one ninjutsu, it can make you very strong!" Uchiha Shisui looked at Itachi and calmly said, "For example, the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God Technique. By wielding it to perfection, he reached the level of a top-tier ninja and even became Hokage!"

"Is that so? Then what is my own ninjutsu?" Itachi lay limp on the ground, breathing heavily. "What ninjutsu do I even know? Everything I have learned is something everyone in the clan knows. To master one of them?"

Itachi seemed deep in thought, yet also lost. He could not quite find his own path.

Ever since he was born, his clansmen had praised him for his talent, calling him the most gifted genius among the current Uchiha. Yet when facing Shisui, he could not help feeling lost.

Shisui placed too much pressure on him.

That Body Flicker Technique seemed utterly unsolvable to him now.

During the battle, he had even used his two Magatama to cast an instant genjutsu on Shisui, only for Shisui to break it immediately. Though Itachi was strong, talented, and clever, his famed signature techniques were still Tsukuyomi and Susanoo!

"Actually, you need not be so troubled. We Uchiha are born with a unique Kekkei Genkai. One day in the future, you will awaken another form of the Sharingan—the Mangekyo!" Uchiha Shisui looked at Itachi and said word by word, "After awakening the Mangekyo, each of our eyes will possess an ability, and every one of them will be a top-tier ability. Sooner or later, you will become a top-tier ninja, perhaps even surpass me!"

"Because these eyes of ours can bring us infinite possibilities!"

Uchiha Shisui spoke word by word, gently guiding Itachi and helping him gain confidence in himself.

"Our eyes?" Light returned to Itachi's eyes, and his goal became even firmer: surpass Uchiha Shisui!

He wanted to awaken his eyes!

And continue awakening them.

He wanted to grow stronger. Shisui was right—these eyes of theirs gave them infinite possibilities.

Ever since awakening his eyes, he had sensed how extraordinary the Sharingan was.

He had to surpass Shisui.

As he thought, his gaze grew increasingly resolute.

"Work hard. I'll be waiting for you up ahead, Itachi!" Uchiha Shisui pulled Itachi to his feet, left him with those words, and turned to leave.

Leaving only a somewhat dazed Itachi behind.

But this time, Itachi did not go home. Instead, he continued training at the Training Grounds as the sky gradually darkened!

Itachi continued training without pause.

"Looks like he was stimulated somehow. He's training so hard?" Xuanyu watched Itachi still training diligently and could not help sighing. "I wonder what Shisui said to him to change his temperament so drastically!"

Itachi had worked hard before as well, but never with such madness.

He had been dealt a blow.

And why had Shisui come looking for Itachi? Could it have been at the old Third Hokage's request? "Judging by the timing, the Third Hokage should already have taken notice of Itachi. In a few years, he'll enter the Anbu!"

Sizzle.

Xuanyu finished the last chicken leg on the rooftop, his expression gradually turning cold. "Itachi, I hope you can make a different choice from your previous life. Don't be influenced too deeply by that so-called Will of Fire!"

As he murmured, faint Killing Intent seeped from his body.

Although he could not stop it, if he had the chance to kill Itachi in the future, he would show no mercy.

It was not because he had such deep feelings for Konoha or the clan. He simply could not stand Itachi's actions.

Perhaps as an outsider watching the anime, he might have understood Itachi's righteousness in destroying his clan for the village's sake, believing it was for Konoha's greater good.

But now that he was in this position.

As an Uchiha clansman, he did not agree with that way of thinking. Just because the Uchiha Higher-Ups wanted to launch a Coup, the entire Uchiha Clan had to be slaughtered?

What was more, the Coup had not even been launched at the time.

The Uchiha were one of the two great ninja clans that founded Konoha, yet now they were being excluded and targeted like this. Could they not feel some resentment?

And for that, they were subjected to a Clan Massacre?

Moreover, the Uchiha Clan did not consist solely of ninja. There were also civilians who yearned for peace.

Those Uchiha civilians did not wish to fight, so they did not train or involve themselves in any affairs. How innocent were they, to be killed for no reason at all?

And those children!

Though Xuanyu did not particularly like those little brats either, he could not bear to kill them. What was more, they admired Itachi so deeply, yet Itachi wanted to kill them.

Heh, how laughable.

In Xuanyu's view, all of this was merely the Third Hokage eliminating political enemies.

There was even a saying circulating in Konoha: of Konoha's nine thousand ninja, the Sarutobi Clan accounted for three thousand. Though it was not quite that exaggerated, it was close enough.

Could everything the Sarutobi Clan did truly have been for the village?

Had Sarutobi Hiruzen not used his position as Hokage to seek benefits for his clan?

Did the decline of the Uchiha and Senju Clan have nothing to do with him?

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Sarutobi Clan had committed plenty of outrageous acts under the banner of commoners. By now, they had practically become Konoha's number one clan.

Many members of the Sarutobi Clan occupied key positions in the village, training ninja.

What Xuanyu found most laughable was the title of Konoha's strongest ninja in history—the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

By exaggerating his own strength so shamelessly, was he trying to erase the First Hokage and Madara from the minds of Konoha's people?

When he heard that title, did the Third Hokage not feel embarrassed?

Such cringe-worthy hype!

Yet even so, the Uchiha Clan's two "filial sons" truly believed him, and even believed in that so-called Will of Fire he preached!

If the Will of Fire truly existed,

Then the Senju and Uchiha in Konoha would not have declined to such weakness, nor would they be facing extermination.

They had even forgotten the two people who founded the village, so how could they possibly speak of inheriting the Will of Fire?
