Chapter 165: Stepping into the Six Paths Level!
Above the deep sea, before dawn.
Uchiha Minamoto sat cross-legged on a square piece of driftwood, his eyes closed.
This was a "raft" he had casually created with [Wood Release], and it rose and fell with the ocean waves.
Nearly an entire night had passed since the derivation of the [Great Sun Sage Body] was completed.
Uchiha Minamoto was still adapting to this brand-new SSS-rank ability.
"This feeling... really is incredible!"
Uchiha Minamoto slowly opened his eyes. Even his [Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan] seemed steeped in the power of the [Great Sun Sage Body], a faint ring of golden sheen appearing along the edges of the black solar-corona patterns in his eyes.
"Good thing my eyes are 'eternal eyes,' rather than ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan.
"If they were ordinary [Mangekyō Sharingan], they probably couldn't handle such vast life energy."

Life energy and mental energy always balanced each other.
Even if a gap existed between the two, it could not be too large.
To give a simple example.

Why had Shimura Danzō embedded so many [Sharingan] in his right arm?
Aside from the Uchiha Clan's forbidden jutsu, [Izanagi], being powerful enough.
The fundamental reason was still [Hashirama Cells]!
The life energy contained within [Hashirama Cells] was simply too vast.

Either turning Shimura Danzō into a vegetable.
Or simply "devouring" Shimura Danzō!
This was the effect of an imbalance between life energy and mental energy.
Jūgo was another such example.
Jūgo's clan possessed an innate ability to
