I Gained the Hagoromo Clan's Kekkei Genkai

Chapter 28: I Gained the Hagoromo Clan's Kekkei Genkai

The entire story of Naruto revolved around Konoha. During the plot's development, it would occasionally touch upon the Warring States Era, roughly depicting just how chaotic and cruel that era had been.

Therefore, since the time he had traveled to was not the era of ninja villages but this incomparably brutal Warring States Era, Uchiha Jobu did not have a transmigrator's advantage of foreknowledge. He knew even less whether the Chinoike Clan's ninja had truly colluded with other ninja clans or some other force.

However, based on the intelligence currently available, some guesses could indeed be made. The Chinoike ninja definitely did not intend to control the Land of Lightning through their own strength alone. There was no way a single ninja clan's power could compare to that of an entire nation.

A major nation like the Land of Lightning supported quite a few ninja clans. If the Chinoike Clan truly dared to imagine swallowing up a major nation on its own, several ninja clans would join forces to besiege them.

Shinteng Zoi's face went pale. "Uchiha, you must protect my safety. My older sister is the daimyo's lawful wife. If I die at the hands of the Chinoike ninja, my sister will lose my support and be killed by that little bitch who wants to rise from a mud-stained pheasant into a phoenix!"

Uchiha Jobu said, "Since I accepted your mission, you do not need to worry about your safety until it is completed."

"That is good. Once I return to the Land of Lightning, I will slaughter every last one of them. They are nothing but a group of lowborn trash, yet they dare dream of turning a pheasant into a phoenix? Absolutely impossible!"

To be honest, if the Chinoike Clan had not been involved in this matter, Uchiha Jobu would not have been interested in the slightest. He had watched several palace-intrigue dramas with his former partner, so he was already thoroughly familiar with the power struggles between royalty and nobility.

He was simply curious why the Chinoike Clan, merely a ninja clan, did not live as ninja should, but instead wanted to slowly seize control of the Land of Lightning by marrying off their daughters.

For now, though, there was no way to know. They could only capture the Chinoike Clan's leader and question him properly.

Ying did not rest at all along the way. She returned directly to the Uchiha clan grounds and recounted everything in full detail.

After listening, Uchiha Madara rose to his feet, took up his Gunbai, and sneered. "The Blood Dragon Eye, is it? I will let the Chinoike ninja know that, even as fellow ocular-jutsu clans, their Chinoike Clan can only be ants before the Uchiha."

No one refuted those words, including Ying, who was not an Uchiha.

The Warring States Era was absolutely a great age in which countless schools contended. There were simply too many active ninja clans to count.

The Chinoike Clan had quite a reputation in the Land of Lightning. Their Kekkei Genkai, the Blood Dragon Eye, possessed a variety of abilities. It could enhance genjutsu like the Sharingan, and upon contact, it could instantly turn someone into a living bomb.

Uchiha Kagami said, "Clan Head, Jobu said this mission requires fifty clan members, but I do not think we need that many. If you act personally, bringing twenty clan members will be more than enough."

"With Clan Head's Mangekyo Sharingan, no ninja clan in the entire Warring States Era can stand against us!"

"After all, we are Uchiha! Uchiha power is the strongest!"

The Uchiha clansmen discussed heatedly how many clan members would be needed to wipe out the Chinoike Clan if their Clan Head acted personally.

Uchiha Madara greatly enjoyed the awe, and even some admiration, in his clansmen's gazes, because the feeling was exhilarating.

With incomparably powerful strength in his grasp, he naturally had the right to enjoy his clansmen's attention.

Izuna Uchiha's face darkened as he said, "Brother, those Senju Clan bastards will not simply watch you head to the Land of Lightning. I alone will be enough. There is no need for you to act."

Uchiha Setsuna said, "This is no joke. Judging by the Genin, Chunin, and Jonin ranking system, you only have Chunin-level strength right now. Without Jonin-level strength, you cannot possibly deal with the Chinoike Clan's experts."

Previously, no one would have doubted Izuna Uchiha. Among the Uchiha Clan's younger generation, there were only three who had displayed astonishing talent: Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Jobu, and Izuna Uchiha. Every one of them possessed ninja aptitude that made others marvel.

However, during the previous war against the Senju Clan, he had failed to block Tobirama Senju's sudden attack and lost one Sharingan.

For an Uchiha ninja, losing one eye meant their strength would be compromised. It would decrease by at least thirty percent, if not more.

Ignoring the others, Izuna Uchiha continued, "Jobu said fifty clan members are needed, but I believe we only need to send ten Uchiha clansmen, along with twenty Hagoromo Clan ninja and twenty Rogue Ninja who have submitted to the Uchiha. That will be enough."

Uchiha Madara said, "You may go, but you need to give me a reason to convince me. Otherwise, I will not agree."

Meeting that stern gaze, as severe as their father's, Izuna Uchiha seemed to see their father's figure for a moment. His heart ached, and his expression darkened further. He nodded and said, "I gained the Hagoromo Clan's Kekkei Genkai."

"What?!"

"That is impossible! How could you possess the Hagoromo Clan's Kekkei Genkai?!"

"Could it be? That is right! Jobu previously displayed the Dead Bone Pulse, and even his maid obtained the Kaguya Clan's power, gaining the Dead Bone Pulse Kekkei Genkai."

"Is this true, Izuna?!"

Izuna Uchiha nodded with a dark expression.
