Chapter Summaries

Uchiha Seiichi was reborn as Fugaku and Mikoto’s son, then grew up determined to guide his younger brother Itachi and investigate the Uchiha bloodline. After comparing the Uchiha and Hyuga eye techniques, he realized their evolutionary paths differed in a crucial way.

• Uchiha Seiichi recalled his previous life, in which he died five minutes before a treatment for his terminal illness was completed.
• In Konoha Year 43, Seiichi reassured Fugaku while Mikoto gave birth to their second son, Uchiha Itachi.
• Seiichi reflected on Itachi’s future and decided to make his younger brother a useful pawn while there was still time to influence him.
• After studying the Uchiha clan’s records and comparing its Sharingan with the Hyuga clan’s Byakugan, Seiichi identified their different paths of evolution.
• Seiichi wrote down that the Uchiha eye progressed through multiple stages toward the Rinnegan, while the Byakugan had a separate path to the Tenseigan.

Shengyi concluded that the Uchiha bloodline’s flaws came from the Sage of Six Paths weakening the Sage Eye, then refused to attend the Ninja Academy. Hiruzen Sarutobi forbade Danzo from targeting Shengyi, leaving Konoha’s leaders with no solution but to wait as Shengyi grew stronger.

• Shengyi theorized that weakening the Sage Eye had damaged the Uchiha bloodline and that merging two brothers’ Mangekyō Sharingan could repair it.
• The clan head and elders summoned Shengyi and asked whether he would attend the Ninja Academy, but he refused, saying it would waste his time.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo argued over whether to eliminate Shengyi, and Hiruzen forbade Danzo from acting against him.
• Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu offered no solution to Hiruzen Sarutobi’s dilemma, and smoke from the Hokage’s Office prompted villagers to gather outside.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi took Uchiha Seiichi’s refusal as an insult, Seiichi continued researching the Uchiha bloodline. He created a serum containing the complete clan bloodline, injected it into himself, and woke to find his body, chakra, and eye power greatly enhanced.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered someone to ask the Uchiha Clan about Uchiha Seiichi’s enrollment again and resolved to remember Seiichi’s rejection.
• Seiichi spent a year collecting blood from the Uchiha Clan and identified the genetic codes needed to create a complete bloodline serum.
• Seiichi used a Shadow Clone to inject the serum into his heart, then drank nutrient solution and slept through the initial transformation.
• Seiichi awoke ravenously hungry, drank several vials of nutrient solution, and discovered he had grown taller and developed a powerful physique.
• Seiichi felt that his chakra and eye power had increased enormously.

Shengyi told Fugaku and Mikoto about his research into Uchiha bloodline restoration, then tested his eye power against Fugaku’s newly awakened Mangekyō Sharingan. The test led Shengyi to conclude that a complete bloodline bypassed the Mangekyō stage and that the Eternal Mangekyō was simply a Mangekyō without side effects.

• Shengyi realized his restoration had greatly increased his strength and eye power, but it consumed large amounts of nutrient solution.
• Shengyi returned home and told Mikoto he had succeeded, so she summoned Fugaku.
• Fugaku secured the family’s secret chamber, and Shengyi shared his research findings and theories with his parents.
• Mikoto suggested they test Shengyi’s findings, and Fugaku awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Fugaku and Shengyi compared their eye power, and Fugaku confirmed Shengyi’s Three-Tomoe Sharingan matched Mangekyō-level power.
• Shengyi concluded that a complete Uchiha bloodline had no separate Mangekyō stage, since the Eternal Mangekyō was a Mangekyō without side effects.

Shengyi kept his bloodline discoveries secret while developing products that enriched the Uchiha Clan and reassured Hiruzen Sarutobi. The chapter ended with news that Kumogakure had been ordered to attack Sunagakure, prompting Hiruzen to summon his advisers.

• Shengyi told Fugaku and Mikoto that his complete bloodline would let him awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan naturally and allow clansmen to awaken the Sharingan more easily.
• Shengyi planned to conceal his discoveries, continue his experiments, and help trusted Uchiha grow stronger while avoiding Hiruzen Sarutobi's suspicion.
• Shengyi developed medicines and foods that earned money for the Uchiha Clan and helped its poorer members.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi was content that Shengyi focused on business and laboratory work rather than building strength or influence.
• An Anbu reported that the Raikage had ordered Kumogakure to attack Sunagakure, and Hiruzen summoned Danzo, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu.

After Kumogakure declared war on Konoha and Iwagakure, Hiruzen Sarutobi mobilized the village and ordered the clans to prepare for battle. The Uchiha sent a thousand ninja under Uchiha Yunhai, while Shengyi worried about the casualties and reflected on the war’s famous turning point.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi rejected Danzo’s suggestion to exploit Sunagakure’s troubles and ordered defenses strengthened against Kumogakure and Iwagakure.
• Kumogakure declared war on Konoha and Iwagakure, prompting Hiruzen Sarutobi to summon the village leadership, seek allies, and mobilize its ninja.
• Fugaku told the Uchiha leaders that the clan had to deploy 1,000 ninja, including 500 jonin, to meet its quota.
• Uchiha Yunhai volunteered to lead the deployment, and Fugaku appointed him while urging him to protect himself and the clan members.
• The Uchiha ninja departed for battle as Shengyi feared many would die and recalled that the Battle of Kannabi Bridge would become a major turning point.

Shengyi explained to Itachi why nations fought over scarce resources and urged him to pursue strength to protect those he loved. He set Itachi a packed study and training schedule, while the war continued to darken Konoha and claim many Uchiha lives.

• Shengyi reviewed the major deaths and turning points of the Third Shinobi World War and wrote down Obito's fate and other consequences.
• Shengyi decided not to try to change Obito, judging him impossible to win over, and resolved to recover Kakashi's eye for the Uchiha clan.
• Shengyi told Itachi that competition for resources drove wars and said strength could protect the people he loved.
• Itachi promised to work hard and become stronger, and Shengyi began filling his days with studying, physical training, and chakra practice.
• As time passed, Konoha's atmosphere grew bleaker, daily reports brought more deaths, and the Uchiha Clan suffered heavy casualties.

After the Battle of Kannabi Bridge began, Shengyi used his concealment genjutsu to raid Orochimaru’s secret laboratory. He left with seven storage scrolls of stolen items, including research materials and the Kusanagi Sword, and found storage scrolls in the white python’s vomit.

• Fugaku agreed to give allowances to the families of Uchiha members fighting in the war and withhold the list of the dead until it ended.
• Shengyi learned that the Battle of Kannabi Bridge had begun and used the village’s weakened defenses as an opportunity to enter Orochimaru’s laboratory.
• Shengyi concealed himself with his Transformation Technique and Genjutsu: Ordinary Villager, which made observers ignore and forget him.
• Shengyi searched the laboratory and packed seven storage scrolls with ninjutsu, research records, failed experiment logs, and the Kusanagi Sword.
• Unable to find Hashirama cells elsewhere, Shengyi woke the giant white python and used his Sharingan genjutsu until it vomited storage scrolls.

Shengyi destroyed Orochimaru’s laboratory and escaped suspicion while Shisui joined him in his underground work. As Shisui began developing a Ninjutsu, Shengyi’s experiment produced a strange liquid that changed color, leaving its purpose unknown.

• Shengyi took Orochimaru’s storage scrolls, planted Explosive Tags throughout the laboratory, and set them to detonate after he left.
• Shengyi burned his clothes at home and watched the explosion from the roof with Shisui, who had arrived to investigate the noise.
• News that the Third Shinobi World War was nearing victory overshadowed the explosion, and Konoha’s investigation fizzled out.
• Shengyi returned to laboratory work with Shisui, then asked him to develop a Ninjutsu to keep him occupied.
• Shisui came back excitedly to report his progress and watched as Shengyi’s layered green and red experiment mixed, boiled, and began changing color.

Shengyi created the Divine Medicine to enhance physical fitness and had Shisui inject it into him. After ten days of consuming Nutrient Solution, Shengyi woke up on his tenth birthday.

• Shengyi observed that the Golden Liquid contained highly active cells and identified it as the Divine Medicine.
• Shengyi explained that the Divine Medicine would enhance the user's physique and could only be safely used by the person whose blood had been added.
• Shengyi asked Shisui to inject him with the Divine Medicine, then fell into a deep sleep as his body consumed Nutrient Solution.
• Shisui used Shadow Clones to keep pouring Nutrient Solution into Shengyi and bring in more supplies as Shengyi's body withered.
• Shengyi woke after ten days, learned it was his tenth birthday, and called it a double blessing.

After recovering from the Divine Medicine, Shengyi awakened a Mangekyō Sharingan with powerful abilities over thought and space. He returned home with Shisui, where Mikoto accepted his sudden growth and arranged new clothes for him.

• Shengyi tested his enhanced body and chakra, then awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan in front of a mirror.
• Shengyi discovered that his left eye held the Wisdom Ruler abilities and his right eye could command space.
• Shengyi realized his body had grown to an adult's size and measured 181 cm tall and 62 kg.
• Shengyi used a black hole to dispose of laboratory trash, and Shisui learned that the spatial ability could not be taught to him.
• Mikoto gave Shengyi clothes that Fugaku had never worn and told Shisui to stay for a meal while he went to bathe.

On his birthday, Shengyi took Shisui and Itachi shopping and used his Sharingan to show a clothing shop owner designs from anime he remembered. Their outing was interrupted when a Kumogakure man charged at them, and Shengyi stopped him with a genjutsu.

• Shengyi cut his hair, then joined Fugaku and the family for his birthday lunch; Fugaku noticed the red flash in Shengyi's eyes.
• Shengyi took Shisui and Itachi to buy clothes and told Uchiha Tumu to make outfits based on designs he showed him through genjutsu.
• The three bought clothes and snacks while Konoha's spirits lifted amid rumors that the war might soon end.
• A man from Kumogakure charged at Shengyi, Shisui, and Itachi, hoping to capture the Uchiha prodigies.
• Shengyi trapped the man in a genjutsu, and he fell face-first and slid to their feet.

Shengyi used a clash with Root to assert the Uchiha Police Force’s authority, and its members killed the Root operatives after Root attacked. When Danzo ordered the arrest of the Uchiha, Shengyi ordered his clan to seize the masked non-Anbu present, forcing Hiruzen Sarutobi to intervene; Hiruzen then secretly resolved that the Uchiha Clan could no longer remain.

• Shengyi stopped Root from taking a captured man and ordered the Uchiha Police Force to take him into custody.
• Shengyi mocked Root’s authority, and Root threatened to arrest the Uchiha before its members attacked him.
• Shengyi ordered the Police Force to seize Root dead or alive, and their combined Dragon Fire Technique overwhelmed Root’s Water Formation Wall and killed its members.
• Danzo arrived and ordered the arrest of the Uchiha, but Shengyi ordered his clan to seize masked non-Anbu and anyone who obstructed them.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped the confrontation, then secretly decided the Uchiha Clan could no longer remain.

Shengyi challenged Hiruzen Sarutobi’s attempt to accuse the Uchiha and expose the Anbu’s encroachment on the Konoha Military Police Force’s authority. Hiruzen tried to end the standoff by calling on Fugaku, but Fugaku backed Shengyi’s position and left Hiruzen frozen.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi restrained Danzo and the Root members, then accused Shengyi of inciting a riot.
• Shengyi countered that the Konoha Military Police Force had been investigating people concealing their identities, and Hiruzen tried to shift attention to those who had died.
• Shengyi questioned Hiruzen about the Anbu’s duties and argued that the Anbu had taken over work belonging to the Konoha Military Police Force.
• Shengyi invoked the agreement Tobirama Senju made with the Uchiha Clan, asserting the police force’s jurisdiction over Konoha’s public order and security.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi tried to send Fugaku and Shengyi home, but Fugaku said he had to respect Shengyi’s opinion as the Uchiha Clan’s young clan leader and a police-force adviser.

Shengyi forced Hiruzen Sarutobi to let the Konoha Military Police Force inspect Danzo’s Root, then challenged Root’s very existence under the Second Hokage’s rules. Hiruzen took responsibility for creating Root, leaving its fate contested as Shengyi pressed the issue.

• Hiruzen Sarutobi called the dispute a misunderstanding and apologized to the Konoha Military Police Force, while Shengyi mocked him by leading the crowd in applause.
• Shengyi revealed that the Second Hokage’s agreement forbade anyone, including future Hokage, from amending the Military Police Force’s regulations.
• Shengyi ordered the Konoha Military Police Force to detain and identify everyone concealing their identity who was not Anbu, and Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo ordered Root not to resist inspection.
• Shengyi argued that Danzo had no authority to command a private armed force and demanded Root be dismantled.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi admitted he had temporarily authorized Danzo to establish Root because Anbu was understaffed, while Shengyi cited the Second Hokage’s ban on privately created armed forces.

Shengyi forced Hiruzen Sarutobi to disband Root, leaving Danzo and the other leaders humiliated and fearful of the Uchiha. After Shengyi returned home to have dinner with his family, Danzo, Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Hiruzen Sarutobi unanimously agreed that the Uchiha Clan had to be eradicated.

• Shengyi suggested that Hiruzen Sarutobi transfer some Anbu authority to Danzo, but Hiruzen recognized the risks and decided Danzo would have to give up Root.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi announced that Root was disbanded and that its members could apply to join the Anbu or return to ordinary ninja life.
• The gathered clan members realized that the confrontation could hasten a future conflict between the Uchiha and Danzo, especially after the war.
• Shengyi returned to the Uchiha Clan Compound with Fugaku, Shisui, and Itachi, then ate dinner with his family.
• Danzo demanded that Hiruzen Sarutobi eliminate the Uchiha Clan, and Hiruzen, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu unanimously agreed.

Seiichi began the Uchiha “Artificial God” project by injecting Fugaku and three others with the genetic “Key” and arranging for his assistants to care for them as they slept. As Hiruzen planned for a future war to cleanse Konoha, Seiichi prepared to strengthen himself for the coming civil war.

• Hiruzen judged that starting a civil war immediately after the war would risk destroying Konoha, but he began planning for a future campaign against the Uchiha.
• Seiichi explained the two injection methods to Fugaku, Mikoto, Itachi, and Shisui, and Fugaku chose the slower, less painful process.
• Seiichi brought seven Uchiha women into the laboratory and trained them to take over the care of those receiving the injections.
• Seiichi injected Fugaku with the “Key,” while Mikoto, Itachi, and Shisui also received injections and fell asleep with nutrient funnels in their mouths.
• Seiichi left the laboratory to prepare for the coming civil war and develop his Mangekyō Sharingan abilities.

Shengyi ordered the Uchiha Clan to recall its ninja, redirect its forces toward training, and open its ninjutsu resources, raising tensions with Hiruzen Sarutobi. After Fugaku awoke, he and Shengyi discussed their Mangekyō abilities, and Shengyi realized Fugaku may have used Heart-Questioning Genjutsu on Itachi.

• Shengyi ordered the Konoha Military Police Force to use Shadow Clones for work while their real bodies trained, and recalled the clan’s other ninja to the village.
• Shengyi opened the clan’s B-Rank and lower ninjutsu to its members and promised to cover their allowances and training resources for a year.
• Hiruzen Sarutobi learned of the orders, but dismissed an Anbu rather than confront the Uchiha Clan as tensions in the village rose.
• Shengyi appeared in Fugaku’s room and sent Yanning, Lingfeng, Mai, and Yu home to rest while he watched over the others.
• Fugaku told Shengyi that his Mangekyō abilities were Future Sight and Heart-Questioning Genjutsu, which let people discover what they truly wanted.
• Shengyi suspected Fugaku had used the genjutsu on Itachi and urged him not to cast it on their own people again.

Shengyi’s family discovered that Mikoto had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, whose Reverse Shield could reject all negative states. Shengyi recognized its immense potential to protect the Uchiha Clan, while Shisui appeared close to awakening his own Mangekyō.

• Shengyi told Fugaku that the clan was using Shadow Clones for work so their real bodies could train, and Fugaku warned him not to provoke Hiruzen Sarutobi’s side too much.
• Shisui, Itachi, and Mikoto recovered after training, and Mikoto suspected she had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
• Mikoto revealed her Mangekyō pattern and identified her abilities as the Front Shield, which defended against and reflected ninjutsu, and the Reverse Shield, which healed by rejecting negative states.
• Shengyi urged Mikoto to examine the Reverse Shield more carefully, and she confirmed that it rejected all negative states.
• Shengyi explained the ability’s broader potential, including possibly reversing blindness, disability, aging, or even death, and Shisui and Itachi became eager to awaken their Mangekyō.
• Shengyi judged that Shisui already had enough ocular power to awaken the Mangekyō and expected his evolution to surprise Hiruzen Sarutobi soon.

Shengyi took his family to the wasteland near the former Land of Whirlpools so they could test Susanoo safely. Mikoto demonstrated her third-stage Susanoo, and Fugaku began testing his fourth-stage Susanoo.

• Shengyi urged Shisui and Itachi to keep training instead of relying only on Mangekyō Sharingan power, and Fugaku encouraged his sons to awaken theirs.
• Mikoto discovered that her Mangekyō Sharingan eye power recovered, and Shengyi advised her to avoid advancing Susanoo beyond the third stage.
• Shengyi used his spatial ability to take Fugaku, Mikoto, Shisui, and Itachi to an empty wasteland near the former Land of Whirlpools.
• Mikoto formed a purplish-red third-stage Susanoo, tested its movement and attacks, and withstood Fugaku's A-Rank Ninjutsu before stopping.
• Fugaku formed a dark blackish-red fourth-stage Susanoo and began testing its naginata, shuriken, and destructive power.
