What if Naruto had The Uchiha Harem

this subscribe to my channel and turn that Bell notification on so you never miss an upload now wasting no more time let's begin I pretended to be annoyed by Kazumi's apparent incompetence as I made my way to the academy to pick sauri up in her place it was concerning for a chunin participating in a friendly sparring match to fail to notice the shift in a kunai's trajectory as as it approached her the moment it was out of her line of sight however considering how simple it was to hurt my housekeeper and get her out of my way for the day I couldn't really complain however it hadn't come as a huge surprise to me that I had observed a steady drop in skill in our younger generation ever since I married fugaku and gave him control of the clan most of them were just Mindless Apes imitating their Rivals and it mostly resulted from an unhealthy overreliance on our eyes even worse a lot of people seem to take pride in that fact oblivious to the fact a generation ago being called a copycat was one of the most serious insults directed at those who wore the U Crest I wasn't surprised though because most of the clan lacked the spark of Genius that was once present in every single one of them to be fair if the stories of our Clans past are to be believed this development did not begin with fugaku the Clan's decline began when the U police force was established and we were given responsibility for The Village's safety as a result the clan was largely restricted to the village with only only a few members of our ranks being permitted to join the actual Shinobi forces for an extended period of time as a result there were fewer and fewer ucha whose very presence could frighten our adversaries and their numbers were decreasing annually by this point our clan was idly resting on the achievements of our ancestors I believe that the name of the ucha would be mentioned in the same sentence as that of the yamanaka or the Nara in a generation or two with the UA losing the respect of even the four noble Clans with the legend of the great Shinobi Dawning the uiha Crest thought to be an exaggeration the respect for the past would be a thing of the past even though we didn't have the same concerns as fugaku and the elders it was clear that the Second Hokage had confined the clan in order to keep us close there was certainly reason to be afraid of us but some would describe it as a reasonable precaution MAA made it abundantly clear what one of us could achieve if we set our minds to it first and foremost we are warriors we belong on the battlefield where we can feel comfortable amidst the Bloodshed we are not glorified guard dogs the inuzuka would be a better fit for that role than we ever could be it was therefore not surprising that MAA who lived his entire life on the battlefield was able to develop his strength Tober must have been painfully aware of the fact that he had already crossed blades with the UA on multiple occasions he knew better than to underestimate us and with the rare exception he was successful in stifling our growth by attempting to keep us out of the fighting it appears that he was able to instill this sensible precaution in his successors prior to his own murder because of this The Village leadership rarely asked us to fight even during wartime and when they did it was usually because they had no other option although the hyuga also had certain responsibilities in the village their treatment was very different maybe kashina was correct when I had brought up the issue with her back when we were chuning that the reason for the unequal treatment was that they had chosen to protect their eyes while we hadn't unfortunately when I showed my father the seal she created her attempt to correct that failed he and the elders didn't think it was worth their time to listen to me completely and they threw out the idea altogether accusing the hyuga Seal of being a weak justification for slavery when hypocrisy is at its best even worse by doing so they had questioned kash's credibility that the seal did what it was supposed to and had no secret purpose the fact that they viewed us as the superior dojutsu wielding clan of konaha which would have been sufficient reason for them to reject the idea didn't help either despite our covert history of stealing eyes from one another in the Quest for long-term power they obviously couldn't have allowed the hyuga to Lord something like copying them over us completely disregarding the merits of my proposal however the intensity of their rejection had seemed strange to me I discovered the true reason for their refusal a few years later harvesting and preserving the eyes of our dead was one of the clan heads responsibilities even though I had formally given fugaku leadership of the clan I had never felt it was appropriate to tell him about this secret I had been convinced that I couldn't regularly compete with the elders and that I wouldn't would have been able to resist the urge to tear their tongues out and put their heads on spikes if they had irritated me enough upon reflection they would not have survived the first month of my rule because of the patronizing stairs I would have received for being a woman in charge of the clan as well as their frequent casual comments wishing for my younger brother to take my place in addition I could have avoided the headache that would have resulted from their next of kins inevitable complaints I was aware that our clan would likely have fewer than 10 members by the time I finished vending my annoyance not having to put up with the elders constant nagging was a great relief to me because I've never been able to stand incompetence and stupidity around me for very long on occasion though I couldn't help but question whether the cost I had to pay for it had ultimately been Justified I arrived at the Academy and waited with a group of other parents for their children to burst through the gate I let my gaze roam since I had nothing better to do in addition some guardians or parents turned away from me they even went so far as to unsightly avoid being perceived as being associated with chiha in certain instances I could relate to the sentiment many people struggled with witnessing their family members being killed by what could only be described as a natural force and then being unable to take their pound of Flesh in retaliation it was even more difficult to know where to focus Your Righteous rage and I would love nothing more than to give them an opportunity to satisfy their desire for vengeance regretfully by doing this I would validate what was at the time only regarded as an unverified rumor that the uch clan was accountable for the events that transpired my research into the aftermath of the Kyu attack showed that cousin obido had not communicated with any of our relatives in the village and I had a strong suspish that the general public would not care that he had been reported dead years earlier I couldn't be certain though that he hadn't had support from others since there was only one other body that couldn't be recovered in the previous 20 years another ucha was unlikely during the second Shinobi World War oni's dust release was said to have killed him I was inclined to accept the truth of that report because he had not displayed I clan of Their Own no his body had changed in a completely different way and there would be a reckoning once I proved my theory was correct it was just a question of time I therefore made the biggest mistake of my life when I discovered Obito's dead body while attempting to get to manado to assist him I had done what I had always been taught any same Clan member would have done when they realized that one of their members had destroyed half the village I had made the evidence vanish I wish I could have followed my heart instead of being forced to follow the rules my father had taught me since I was a young child then from where he was looking over the crowd I saw an ambo hiding on a house's roof and I stopped myself from continuing down that path again he was not very good at hiding Dragon would have lost his hide for such incompetence in the past fortunately for him I appeared to be the only person who knew he was there my instincts which I had carefully cultivated kept me alert as I kept looking around for his teammates operating alone was uncommon at Anu at least not for anything deemed essential they also hardly ever worked inside the village limits a swarm of yelling kids rushed out of the building looking for their parents before I could ask myself any more questions about his presence sauri had no trouble identifying me among the crowd demonstrating the value of the superior Vision that all Uchiha had even before the Sharingan was activated she sped up right away and ran in my direction while grinning broadly she shared much of her father's features including the same cheekbones and eyes but more significantly she shared her father's UA exceptionally ISM believing that she was Superior to everyone else her achievement of finishing first in her class which I wasn't totally sure how she accomplished had only served to strengthen this feeling since her first day at the Academy at half sai's age she was mediocre at best far from the talent her older sister claimed as her own not nearly good enough to be called a genius a term that had been used so much that it seemed to have lost all meaning I couldn't think of a recent year where the class's top student was given a different name I missed the days when you had to genuinely support these denominations because a distorted view of your own abilities was the most dangerous thing there was if she didn't get a wakeup call she would be killed sooner rather than later because she was already buying into it all Sai stopped directly in front of me her smile growing she looked around the crowd and said Mom what are you doing here where is Kumi she hurt herself while training nothing serious I told her oh she muttered under her breath before clarifying her smile returning with a Vengeance I like like you better anyway you can come to get me from now on if you like she said well on those days isum Oni Chan can't I wouldn't mind being here every day if I had my way but not for her just by being here I was already taking a chance nevertheless I had to take the chance I couldn't keep my eyes off his welfare I needed assurance that he was safe I told her unfortunately that will not be possible and my words erased her smile she adopted the same and interesting expression that her father always wore emphasizing the parallels between her and the Seaman donor who gave her life since they were also fugaku I must admit that I had never grown to like either of my so-called children that had been challenging especially for Sai who was a younger female version of her father due to her lackluster Talent appearance and entitlement I couldn't claim I hadn't tried however it was evident from the beginning that the children I had to Bear him would never truly belong to me all I had been meant to do was provide a clean lineage as the breeding cattle according to agreement the children were always to be his and his alone to be shaped as he saw fit consequently I had stopped trying to establish a deeper connection with them after coming to this realization to avoid becoming attached I hadn't even nursed them staying away from my firstborn had not been simple she had been intelligent and gifted but more significantly her features were a perfect blend of mine and her father's with no obvious resemblance to him unlike Sai she appeared to be just another Cousin It had occasionally been difficult to resist the urge to feed her spark rather than watch it gradually dowed in the mold that fugaku attempted to force her into it had been hard to watch him slowly obliterate one of the few people in our clan who had truly had some Talent despite being taught by him she had naturally outperformed her peers not that it had been difficult in the slightest she probably would have been blinded and lobotomized the issue was that in order to assist her I would have had to break the deal that had released me from overseeing a dying clan in exchange for two children in the role of the ideal wife his very own nashiko I had gotten it quite easily since I hadn't had to endure his touch the role hadn't been particularly taxing especially since I didn't think I was capable of it I felt sick to my stomach just thinking about it 9 months later I had removed his daughters from my body on my own they had only been the result of me using the seen he had given me to conceive I knew after my first encounter with a potential husband that none of them could ever hope to have anything like the relationship I might have had with my only family kha and manado since then I had been forced to follow the suggestion and had no other option it was kotto amatsukami the only jinjutsu I had failed to defeat in fugaku I had opted for the lesser of two evils at least he hadn't been twice my age and had been willing to accept my offer if it meant he would become the leader of the clan I probably should have counted myself fortunate because the marriage would have been consummated happily if it weren't for my ancestors lack of skill and poorly written instructions the word father does imply a closeness that hadn't existed between us us any hope I might have had that this was because he didn't want to bother me at least not any more than he absolutely had to was dashed yesterday he had overheard a frequent dispute between fugaku and me in which fugaku complained about the two children we had agreed upon both of whom were girls and insisted that we change the terms realizing the gaps he had left my ancestor had attempted to correct his error by trying to use his eye on me once more he had already put me under a compulsion that I couldn't break but I could have done everything in my power to keep it from happening again I had taken his life and his eyes for myself and my rather violent objection had ensured it since his eternal mangu Sharingan had the ability to break any jinjutsu this had been a fortunate time because it allowed me to get rid of my conditioning it turned out that it had not been the only time he had used his eye on me to make me do something in all those other cases he had simply felt it was wise to prevent me from remembering he had chosen to forgo this when he forced me to marry in order to establish my position only at at that point did I realize how much he had violated my mind over the years and how none of the choices I had made in my life had been genuinely my own furthermore I had never considered the possibility that another Jutsu I had received years prior might be the reason I hadn't killed him and punished him for his deeds his fatal error had been failing to change my perception of in response to threats which would have enabled me to defend myself I hadn't been interested in having my mind tampered with so I had viewed his attempt an assault on my identity as an assault on my life and had responded with lethal force all along I had been his puppet certainly an unwilling one one who had resisted manipulation by every means possible but a puppet nonetheless his schemes had come into play in every choice I had ever made in order to spy on the village for him I had joined Anu he didn't want me to be in charge which was why I wasn't interested in being the Clan's leader he had gotten around to succession laws by marrying me off to someone who shared his vision and forcing me to seed the clan leadership to my husband my rebellious brother had never been considered a suitable replacement for me either because without someone holding my strings I had been obligated to eventually go against his vision of Uchiha Clan something my proud entitled progenitor kagami couldn't have allowed to happen this hadn't even registered in comparison to what I had lost when I was forced to marry fugaku the son he had always desired I had never been able to share my life with the only two people I had ever truly loved because of jealousy or hurt Pride at finishing second in gaining monado's affection but rather because of another compulsion however the truly unforgivable Act was letting the village take custody of Naruto the last surviving piece of manado and kashina in the world and making me keep my status as his godmother a secret given my tendency to find ways around his compulsion my progenitor had even taken the time to warn me to avoid every place where I might encounter him evidently he didn't want the village to witness UA interacting with the kiui host which would have fueled the rumors Sai no longer discouraged by what I had said took my hand in hers and made an successful attempt to pull me away I kept looking around the crowd for a yellow mop of hair but my feet would remain planted firmly until I achieved what I had come here to do I recalled clearly the one time I had seen him in the distance shortly after his birth and the passing of his parents the worst thing I had ever seen had been the third taking the baby boy away from his deceased parents I would never forget the sharingan's courtesy and the worst feeling I had ever experienced was the crushing guilt of arriving too late since then the memory has plagued my dreams and burn turned itself into my memory so that it would never go away I found what I was looking for just as sui was about to open her mouth to complain because she was tired of tugging at my hand through the crowd a patch of yellow blonde hair appeared I followed him without wasting any time after focusing my attention on him as I pulled her along Sai let out a startled Yelp I was mostly unable to see him because of the people around us who only gave me a few quick glances sauri felt compelled to say where are we going mom our house is that way when he got to the edge of the space three boys talking to each other in a loose Circle near the academy railings blocked the boy's path with a muttered sorry on his lips he pushed through without hesitation brushing against one of the boy shoulders the boys looked at one another for a moment and when the big boned kid I thought was an akamichi asked was that he got two nods the unspoken CU to turn around and chase Naruto running was a Savage smile I accelerated and focused my chakra on on my eyes my senses were immediately sharpened and everything appeared to be moving slowly I was able to move through the crowds without using Force to get past the obstacles thanks to the Sharingan the tail end of the three older boys had Naruto in a headlock and guiding him into a side street when I managed to get past the crowd and turn onto the same street as I got closer dragging along a stumbling Sai my jog became a full Sprint by the time I got to the Alleyways mouth Naruto was pressed up against the wall encircled on all three sides by the three older boys Sai said mom what are we doing here she only agreed with me after I remained silent for a short while huh what is that idiot doing picking fights my hands hold on hers abruptly became much more firm threatening to break her fingers I didn't realize what I had done until she was screaming in agony and attempting to free her hand as I let go of her hand I caught a glimpse of Sai nursing her hand out of the corner of my eye that hurt she cried out I chose to ignore her and concentrate on the activity taking place in the alleyway Naruto yelled let me go you big jackasses his attempts to push through the encirclement were thwarted by a forceful shove against the wall in front of Naruto the boy with the brown hair laughed and said we might do that after you kneel before us and beg for forgiveness demon Brad neither he nor the third boy with his moss green hair had any of the characteristics that are usually associated with Clans this in turn raised doubts about my first suspicion that the large bone child was an akamichi it should be obvious to a clan child that a ginu should not be messed with it was difficult for me to express my disgust at that term because none of the three individuals I knew who had earned the repugnant title were deserving of being referred to as human sacrifice what's more how did they even find out about Naruto's situation wasn't discussing it with children prohibited my thoughts were interrupted when the uo from earlier sunshine on top of the wall the boys were standing next to he was nutk protection detail which was the only possible interpretation of this his performance hasn't impressed me thus far even though I was happy that he was there to make my intervention unnecessary if things got out of control it made matters more difficult if I didn't want the Hokage and danzo to know it stopped me from contacting Naruto my presence alone could be enough to get my name on that Ambu operatives mission report they had to alter their plan after Naruto's second failed escape attempt hold him the boy with the brown hair said the two surviving boys each grabbed one of Naruto's arms holding him in place before he could react declaring I'm really going to enjoy this he struck Naruto in the stomach while adopting a loose stance Naruto wretched in pain from the blow from the older boy who was at least 2 years older than him and a full head larger the hands holding him up were the only thing keeping him from falling to the ground in a ball I glared at the amboo agent while clenching my fists and tilting my head upward I pondered what it would take for him to step in as he hadn't done so yet in the meantime Naruto spat Blood on the the big bone child's shirt as the brown-haired boy delivered his second blow a perfectly positioned right hook he stepped aside and protested hey careful to his friend the kid with the brown hair said my bad and scratched the back of his head after hearing the words just make sure it doesn't happen again it's bad enough I have to touch him I clenched my fist even more tightly my nails digging painfully into my palms and it became very evident to me that my progenitor's death had happened far too quickly and easily he was enti to endure months of suffering he ought to have perished pleading for his demise with a nod the boy with the brown hair went back to his position and struck Naruto's stomach with such force that he was lifted off the ground despite this the U kept watching and did nothing when he saw his charge being beaten but I'd seen enough and I kicked up a stone the size of a thumbnail at my feet straight into the air I waited for the stone to fall then kicked it once more just before it hit the ground sending it flying in the direction of Naruto's assailant the stone struck the back of the head of the Moss haired boy who was facing away from me producing a dull sound he stumbled forward due to the force of the blow letting go of Naruto's arm just as the brown-haired boy made his fourth fist swing Nar shifted to the left when he suddenly noticed that there was no hand pulling him to the right making the most of this momentum Naruto threw all of his energy into his blow smashing the big boned boy's face there was a loud crunch as the boy's nose broke he staggered back dazed and landed on his own feet at precisely the same moment the brown-haired child's fist struck the wall where Naruto's head had been a second before he pulled his hand away and held it against his body letting out a painful Yelp without wasting any time Naruto exploited the Gap I had made and launched a vicious attack on the only opponent Still Standing perched on the roof the ambo operative eyes landed on me he fell straight into my trap and I used jinjutsu to root him in place as soon as our eyes met after a moment I was once again focused on narut he appeared to have never attended the academy for formal training because of his poor form instead of a fight between Academy students his wide swings were more appropriate for a brawl between civilians judging by the reaction whenever his fists touched his opponent's body his punches were clearly powerful despite their seeming lack of skill the brown-haired boy made terrible attempts to defend himself with one hand narut was on the verge of overwhelming his opponent with his attacks he didn't have time though because the green-haired boy with the broken knows was just a few seconds away from returning to the battle I said Sai go help narut hoping to level the playing field she hissed Crossing her arms in front of her chest helping that idiot definitely not I couldn't help but notice that she had insulted kash's son twice already which was too many times and I would make her to feel bad about it sai's denial cost him valuable time time that would have allowed her to reach Naruto in time to stop his second enemy before he could save his brown-haired friend from certain death Nar only received a warning yell before the green-haired boy returned to the battle by side shotting him in the kidney Naruto's barrage of attacks was cut short when the strong blow caused him to stagger against the wall narut attempted to take advantage of the brief lull in combat caused by the newly open distance to regroup but he wasn't the only one the green-haired boy took advantage of the moment to clean his face of the blood still trickling down his crooked nose worse for where his brown-haired friend lifted himself up to his full height and out of his defense of shell he glared at Naruto he touched his busted lip the thing that intrigued me the most was how the brown-haired child's breathing was labored as he attempted to regain control while Naruto's breathing barely accelerated despite exerting himself to a much greater extent it was evidence of the renowned Limitless endurance of the Uzumaki the two children nodded to each other and moved forward again attempting to flank Naruto after leaning against the wall Nar forced himself to stand and raised his defenses for the second round since narut could now defend himself from his attackers I was caught between ending the fight and letting it continue for a little while longer ultimately an in regulated fight like this was a unique opportunity to accurately assess his character before I permanently linked my destiny to his I had to see what he was composed of it appeared that his mother had given him more than just his endurance thus far by now manado would have fled either realizing the threat of dealing with several opponents at once or persuading them to divide up and Ambush them one at a time however like her son kha would have been too obstinate to use such strategies and would have refused to give up until the very end I watched as the fight continued holding my hand for the time being his opponents tried to use their increased reach by shuffled closer and closer since Naro could only successfully defend against one of them at a time they attempted to hold him at Bay while they pounded him from two different directions narut refused to accept it he launched an offensive rather than letting himself get cornered with his back to the wall I couldn't tell he attacked out of instinct or if he considered the evidence and decided it was the best course of action in any case it was the right decision quickly eliminate one of your opponents before he can get assistance or a breakthrough to temporarily break the encirclement the issue was that both of his opponents were larger had a greater range and weighed about 40 lbs more than narut they weren't underestimating him like they had been the last time and it showed Naruto's sudden strike was a good attempt he closed the distance to the brown-haired boy arms up Shield in his head and although he was ready to block the punch he expected to land he failed to consider its power his Advance was slowed if only slightly by the straight aimed at his head that did not penetrate his defenses because of this he ended up just a few inches away from where he would have been had it not been for that hit when Naruto's right hook swung past his opponent's chin through the hole in the brown-haired boy's guard that had opened when he threw the straight he learned the hard way that a few inches can make all the difference in a fight the fight was made much more difficult by by a small miscalculation of distance or depending on one's point of view a miscalculation of timing now that he missed once more his Advance was halted by a straight from his backtracking opponent that ended in nutk guard allowing the green-haired child to move behind him I wasn't sure if the green-haired boy's wheezing or Instinct gave Naruto the advantage but he dodged the blow to the back of his head ducked under it and almost slammed his nose into the opponent's raised knee in front of him the only thing that saved him from suffering the same fate is the green-haired boy was his quick reflex which allowed him to catch the knee with both hands and avoid having his nose crushed unfortunately the green-haired child's middle kick struck home while he had his hands busy an inch above his hip Naruto was hit and he staggered back toward the large boned child I had knocked out with my stone throw in an attempt to pull him toward their fallen comrade the two remaining opponents approached from the front he was still dazed lying on the floor with his arms up protectively over his head tending to his wound so I didn't think he would be able to help them for a little while longer I also didn't believe it was their original plan they probably wanted Nar to trip over their friend so they could pin him to the ground which would end the fight in their favor if they were successful because of his much smaller size narut would not be able to get away from them Naruto attempted to lessen the damage he sustained by raising his arms and curling in upon himself which decreased the surface area that could be struck but they persisted in their attack he was waiting in the meantime waiting for the chance to strike back back after a series of blows to his defense some of which even penetrated it he realized that if he didn't create the opportunity himself it wouldn't come he was held at Bay by his opponent's greater reach double limb count and best efforts to cover each other's errors he made the decision to do it in a way that would have simultaneously made his mother proud and ashamed I was proud because I was positive that she had done the same at least once proving Beyond a reasonable doubt that narut was her son embarrassed because it was a foolish move no sane person would choose to trade blows for blows and foro defense still he decided to do that he was giving it his all while the three of them were brutally beating each other disregarding his health punch after Punch Kick after kick with the odd counter thrown in between it made it impossible to predict who would win it might as well come down to who got the lucky punch but the winner would be decided by who could take more punishment something I would normally never dare wager against an Uzumaki and definitely not against kash's son the odds were against Naro because he was up against two opponents furthermore I didn't want to give him the chance to lose a pointless fight in a side street and have his Spirit crushed a sudden shift occurred just as I was about to intervene and break up the fight Naruto whose defense had been limited to the occasional block until just a few moments ago suddenly added Perry's to his already struggling strategy because of this he was able to deflect even their fastest attacks with skill after just a few more conversations he began to evade their attacks he read them as if they were a book after a short adjustment period not lasting more than a few heartbeats he was entirely evading any hit leaving him to dish out the hurt his wide and flailing swings from before in just a few exchanges gained a Precision I would not have thought think him capable of for a few years yet he was accurately and with perfect timing striking Whenever there was an opening to exploit by now he was taking them apart the slugfest having turned into a one-sided Slaughter it nearly seemed as if but that couldn't be if only he wasn't fighting with his back to me so I could make sure I was about to dismiss the thought as nothing more than mad ravings when he slipped under a punch and by so doing had to turn his head slightly when I caught a glance of something that should be outright impossible how could he have a Sharingan the ritual it all suddenly occurred to me kash's blasted adoption ritual had worked her hairbrained idea of creating artificial Uzumaki by transferring genetic markers I helped her develop had actually worked I had been convinced after we had tried to become real blood sisters and nearly died in the process that it had been a failure clearly I had been mistaken the Boost in Chakra capacity and the increased density I gained in the aftermath were decidedly not the results of my training efforts as I had initially believed and kha had never mentioned anything because shortly after our Folly she had discovered she was with child suddenly it all made perfect sense we used that ritual in April and narut was born on October the 10th by then she must have already been pregnant that was just like her only the scatterbrained kha could lose track of her cycle like that then the realization hit me this meant nothing else than that narut wasn't just manado and kash's child he was mine as much as he was theirs he was mine too I couldn't help but grin convinced of Naruto's impending Victory my focus wavered and I allowed myself to get distracted by my thoughts as a result of that momentarily slip I only registered the steps behind me as they came to a sudden stop what the was as far as the shrill voice of a rotund woman man managed to get when my eyes landed on her she stilled instantly as I put her in a jinjutsu and made her walk into the mouth of the alley to avoid attracting undue attention when I turned back to the fight I saw the tail end of how the big boned kid smashed a brick from behind against the side of Naruto's head a single moment of inattention threaten to destroy everything I thought I had just found despair clenched my heart my eyes recorded every gruesome detail of how Naruto's eye socket was smashed in with blood and chunks of his eye getting splattered onto the floor another memory ripe to be added to my collection of the ever increasing number of my failings that would undoubtedly haunt me for the rest of my life a punishment fitting the crime of allowing Naro to be injured I pushed myself to go faster faster than I ever moved to reach Naruto fully aware that despite all my Powers it just wasn't enough I was once again too late to protect what was most dear to me and the Sharingan my Clan's lted bloodline once more proved to be a curse ensuring I could never forget another one of my failings narut crumbled into a heap on the floor unconscious an instant later I came to a stop beside the boy catching the wrist of his hand midswing in an iron grip stopping his motion cold looking him up and down I didn't think I had ever felt so much hatred for a person as I did for him at that very moment as not even my progenitor registered it would be so easy to Snuff the life out of these insects for having dared to raise their hands to my Naruto in the last moment my calculating mind prevailed over my raging feelings and I only ended up kicking the kid's feet from under him while Holding On To His Hand his shoulder dislocated accompanied by a sickening Crunch and he landed painfully on his side a glance in my eyes kept him from crying out in pain I wouldn't want his screams to alert anyone Naruto had two other adversaries attacking him from the front which I had put under a paralyzing jinjutsu on my Approach keeping them in place I might have need of them especially should I decide that further punishment was in order this time I wouldn't allow my prey to escape me into the clutches of death not before they made amends I didn't waste another second on that human trash kneeling down next to Naruto I carefully turned him onto his back and lowered his head to the floor clinging to the hope that up close the damage to his eye would be far less severe than it seemed that hope evaporated Into Thin Air when I finally saw his face his eye socket was a bloody ruin his eye destroyed Beyond repair only a few tiny bits and pieces of it remained after it had popped desperate and unwilling to accept this I used the mystical Palm technique trying to fix it even though I knew it was feudal Jutsu in hand in the middle of bringing it closer to his face I halted mid motion unable to believe my eyes is right in front of me his injuries began to rapidly heal the chunks of Flesh connecting to each other grew in size and within moments his eye regenerated as if it had never been damaged wiping the blood from his face I couldn't help but notice seeing him up close for the first time how much he looked like a perfect blend of kha and he had his father's yellow blonde hair combined with K's round chin and cheekbones and now it seemed he had my eyes the raw power they had emitted was unlike anything I had ever felt before to confirm my suspicion I used a diagnostic Jutsu and found myself surprised at how much even I had underestimated the density and sheer amount of chakra at his disposal he easily outclassed anyone in the village and the gulf would only grow wider as he Grew Older in addition I couldn't find a single SCAR or other lasting damage on his body even though he was malnourished and seemed to lack some vitamins and minerals I couldn't even imagine how powerful a Shinobi he could become with the ride tutelage he was perfect our perfect little boy kha and manado I thought to myself with my lips curled upwards as I caressed his cheek from now on I would make it my life's mission to protect and care for him as it always should have been the beginnings of a plan formed in my mind sai's careful approach eyeing the downed kids reminded me that we weren't alone my gaze flickered to the big boned kid on the floor it would have been easy to assign full responsibility for why my Naruto got hurt to him but that would just be lying to myself when in truth I was to blame it was my presumption that the big boned kid lying on the floor was incapacitated which had led to this he must have shaken off his days when I wasn't looking and upon realizing there was still a fight going on must have reached for the first thing in the immediate vicinity and found a loose brick he then must have risen from the ground and before he was fully upright must have been swinging the brick in his hand in a smooth motion with all his might toward nutk head this had forced me to watch in slow motion as the brick shattered against his skull right before my eyes making me regret the decision of letting that fight play out I should have interfered right from the very moment they had dared to lay their hands on my Naruto he might not have liked getting rescued after all kashina certainly never had with one exception when manato did the rescuing but at least he would have been safe and none of this would have ever happened kashen would have scoffed at me don't sweat it Mickey there was no lasting harm done and you can't always protect him what you can do is teach him to do it himself for all the goofing around she was prone to she had a habit of voicing profound wisdom out of nowhere oh how I missed that crazy redhead she would have been right this insect wasn't worth my time I returned my attention to my Naruto making sure to numb his pain receptors I took out a scroll and retrieved an alcohol filled cylindrical bottle from within and removed the cap stroking through his hair I stealed my nerves for what I was about to do no matter how much I would rather not hurt my baby even if I knew it was only temporary it had to be done I needed to know for his sake carefully lifting up the eyelids of his left eye with one hand I worked my thumb index and middle finger slowly under the eyelids until I could grab his eye a small yank later removed it from its socket and with a chakra scalpel I severed the optical nerve I waited holding the eyeball in my hand until I saw him regenerate the eye I just took and only then placed it in the bottle and proceeded to take his other one a wretching sound reminded me that I wasn't alone a glance over my shoulder showed me how my daughter desperately tried to keep her breakfast down since I couldn't allow her to contaminate this site I put her under a quick Jutsu which had the added bonus that it also prevented her from voicing any questions not that it would make a difference even were I to answer them since I fully intend to be the only one who remembered this incident had ever occurred closing the lid on the bottle I sealed it back into the scroll cradling Naruto in my arms I stood up and carefully positioned him against the wall he would wake up any minute now concentrating more chakra into my eyes activated their advanced form seeking out the Gaze of all five other people present one after the other I went to work and modified their memories or in sai's case erased the knowledge of ever being here except for Sai they would remember Naruto kicking the three kids asses and since I made sure he would be the first to wait they would wouldn't doubt it waking lying in their own blood with their prey turned Predator nowhere in sight I made sure the woman who turned out to be the big boned kid's mother the family relation undeniable wouldn't take too kindly to her child beating on someone younger a mild lingering suggestion that the hokagay wouldn't like it if someone hurt the kyubi Brad doing the trick the U was the only one for which I took my sweet time sifting through his memories they were a treasure Trove of information although most of it was not really useful to me other than learning that U were used withc ining frequency to watch the U compound and to Shadow its members when outside the only conclusion to be drawn from this was that we were under surveillance since I doubted he would risk alienating a founding Clan over rumors he must have had some credible Intel to motivate this course of action I suspected someone inside the clan was willingly or unwillingly feeding the village information pondering that for a moment made my oldest Offspring and my little brother the most likely candidates they were amongst the small number with the necessary skill had ties out the clan and given they both were U enjoyed the trust of our village leader I had known fugaku would be an obstacle to my plans but I had assumed for entirely different reasons and this certainly complicated things if I wanted to preserve the clan as a tool dedicating it to one goal and one goal only safeguarding Naruto then taking drastic measures was inevitable the infestation that had brought the clan low need to be cut out root and stem to allow for a new beginning only this time I would personally make sure it was done properly sauri come here it is time to go home I informed her putting out my hand for her to grab it there are some important errands I have to run I pretended to be asleep while lying in bed with my covers on paying great attention to every sound around me there was complete silence from azumi's room the snoring of fugaku from his room at the end of the hallway and the friction of sai's blanket from her chest being raised and lowered she was out protecting my Naruto tonight according to a casual review of her Recollections during dinner I would have had to take extra care to keep her from waking up because she would have been the only person in the house she was going on missions outside the village unlike fugaku because frequent encounters with death had sharpened her senses and instincts the situation outside the house was different I knew they were keeping an eye on our clan compound because of my Recollections of Naruto's Ambu detail among those of us who frequently ventured into the actual Village there had been a rumor that the number of U agents surrounding our compound had significantly increased in recent months I was aware of this rumor because of my encounter yesterday this was strange for several reasons Chief among them being that they were not supposed to be patrolling The Village's interior they claimed to be there to protect the village the Hokage and critical infrastructure from external threats the fact that they had reportedly been assigned to keep an eye on us suggested that the village authorities had lost faith in us this fact at least in fugaku's Recollections was what convinced the majority of the hesitant and indecisive to see things his and my progenitor's way it was becoming more difficult to ignore the fact that the Noose around our necks was becoming tighter every day and that this was about survival rather than someone's pride being damaged or the villagers not treating the clan with the deference and respect they believed it deserved at this point their coup was the inevitable outcome aided by The Village's actions they could go kill each other until no one was left and I wouldn't care unfortunately though Naruto and I were still useful to the clan and I needed a few items from the Uzumaki compound in order to submit them to their proper purpose I had to make sure my absence would go unnoticed because I couldn't afford to be seen approaching it in any way as a result the skill I acquired from Obito's mangu Sharingan came in handy kamui creates a space between those two points in contrast to monado's heran no Jutsu which links the ceiling array on his body to one of his markers like a door he can enter there are benefits and drawbacks to this as well one of the main benefits is that it enables the user to open a door almost anywhere once there inside the room another benefit of the Jutsu is that you don't have to go through the door just because it's there you can just visualize where you want to go and it will appear conversely a door can be used to view the opposite side once it is called of course the view is colorless and distorted and there is no sound unless you shift your gaze Across the Threshold which will reveal them on the opposite side it differs significantly from monado's description of pinging one of his tags which was a brief burst that gave him a glimpse of the immediate area around the Tag's location as his detection Jutsu swept over the surrounding area given enough tags this allowed him to be fully aware of everything happening on the battlefield rather than being restricted to a single point of view that changed its angle and relative position slowly so while kamui wasn't the best Jutsu for spying or Battlefield awareness it was more than adequate for my immediate needs it made it possible to repeatedly build doors high in the air around the uch compound in order to look for ambo agents who might be hiding there I was able to locate their hiding places almost with ease thanks to the bird's ey perspective and the sharingan's superior Vision I only needed to confirm that there were no hyuga among those observing us because I doubted one of them would notice my abrupt disappearance chakra sensors that were worth anything were as uncommon as a drop of water in the desert and the occasional sensor the yamanaka clan produced scarcely deserved the name it was challenging to determine the U Clan affiliations because they mostly relied on animal masks and cloaks to conceal their identities but it was not impossible if one knew what to look for when it came to the hyuga they were notably slender had virtually no calluses from wielding canai or other weapons and hardly ever turned their heads finding all three made it almost certain that it was a hyuga even though one of those characteristics was not enough to determine luckily for me none of them appeared to be one the comparatively small number of hyuga who ended up in U was not shocking the Caged Bird seal made Branch members liabilities because they came with torture in dead man switches that were not under The Village's control not because the hyuga were incompetent Dragon would have given his right arm and leg for just a dozen of them because of their unparalleled intelligence gathering abilities I also checked outside the Uzumaki compound as a precaution the only thing that would ruin it all would be one U noticing me suddenly even though the former hokage's home was guarded by Seals that uzushio would have envied it was a presumption that no one would be watching kosha claimed that Meo had not been unmarked by usu's demise she transformed the already powerful protected Uzumaki compound into a venerable Fortress during the final years of her life kha repeatedly joked that while her obaa Sans came up with new ways to kill and dismember any uninvited guests other obaa Sands would knit as a lastminute hobby even if half of what I was told were true I had no doubt that obido would have had a terrible final moments if he had dared to attack kha inside her house I was still incensed when I considered this though because kha would still be alive if the first hadn't required her to give birth in a cave in order to save his Priceless Village it was blatantly Pres Sumptuous to assume that no one in the decades since it was constructed would have discovered that secret cave a few leagues from the village and figured out its purpose but the illusion had to be preserved which is why the few U who went with them couldn't have been from a clan God forbid that a member of the team responsible for protecting the current Hokage his spouse and their unborn child has any real expertise one could argue that hiroin was one of the few who benefited from their death so if he hadn't lost his wife in the attack a woman I was certain he had loved I would have ensured he wouldn't have survived the attack but despite my best efforts I was always suspicious that there was more going on here than even Obito's involvement indicated I doubted that I would ever find the answers I sought because manado had killed him even though my mind had been racing I had completed exploring the compound and was looking through the tears observing it from a dozen High Vantage points verified that nobody was even close to it much less observing it I briefly relaxed my caution disappeared under my blankets and then resurfaced in my kamui dimension I grabbed a seiling scroll from under my night gown I put on the clothes the scroll had contained which included a black hooded cloak a black shirt some plain black pants and a black unmarked mask I slept in a white silk kimono that was barely appropriate for a night raid I reemerged in front of the Uzumaki compound's main gate stealing myself this was the crucial moment I would either acquire the necessary resources to implement my plan or it would all burn down taking away my best opportunity to give my Naruto a better life I put my hand on the Uzumaki swirl that adorned the Stone Gate and took a final deep breath it was time to see if I was locked out because jiah had tampered with the seals I knew of no other living individual who had access to the control seal except for him I let go of the breath I didn't realize I was holding when the gate Wings opened in front of me dividing the swirl in two it wasn't until I stepped through the gate and nothing happened that my nervousness completely subsided I took the short paved stone path that wound around the entire compound and threw a small Forest I don't mean the overgrowth from years of no one caring for the plants growing alongside it or the fact that I sometimes had to cut my way through plant obstacles but it wasn't an easy path to follow it was difficult because every step I took brought back memories that tormented me wave after wave I had walked this path innumerable times either with kha manado or both by my side conversing laughing or simply making fun of each other on occasion when I was paying them a visit I walked it by myself it had never felt so isolated before and my heart had never tightened with such grief that only deepened as I approached their house it hurt more halfway there than when I'd seen them die a part of me must have secretly refused to accept reality and continued to believe that they were still alive and well living contentedly with Naruto just behind the next Hill somehow we had simply drifted apart and one day we would simply cross paths again and everything would return to normal the uncertainty of what awaited me in their home was the only thing maintaining that illusion every step of the way my body resisted preventing my conscious mind from breaking the bonds that my unconscious mind so desperately held on to I halted my hand resting on a tree trunk for balance while I struggled with myself my emotional suffering abruptly became physical and my breathing became shallow and Rapid I slumped against the tree clutching my breast in a desperate attempt to control my accelerated heart rate it wasn't until I looked up at The Starry Night Sky that I realized something wasn't right I tried to move closer to their house but it seemed like a strong force stopped me using my progenitor's eye ability I broke the last traces of his Jutsu as my eyes progressed to their Eternal mangu State the world seemed to have been cleared of a haze I hadn't even realized existed and my heart rate started to return to normal right away Koto amatsukami of course the reason it hadn't broken yet and only weakened after I had eliminated the others is that my progenitor must have buried another suggestion deep inside of me that wasn't related to any of the other orders he had given me the only location he couldn't have reached me was the Uzu hock compound so I had to avoid it for this one even though I hadn't been permitted to be close to Naruto it became evident why in all those years I had never gone to their house to find Comfort why I had never come to ruminate on the past and why I had never bothered to come here and take a momento to remember them by Koto amatsukami can only be described as Insidious nothing less is deserved when the impacted person's mind is allowed to defend their behavior but now I understood what I was after I started going through my own memories and questioning every choice I had ever made searching for anything that didn't seem right I didn't get up and start traveling again until I was positive that this time was the last time Jen Jutsu had forced me to do so and that I had fully recovered My Free Will I emerged from the forest and stopped on the little Hilltop that overlooked the massive complex of buildings in the center of the clearing seeing the once lovely and well-kept garden from my Recollections covered in Weeds was a depressing sight because no one was around to control their growth crops herbs and flowers were being choked to death if I had any to say about it it wouldn't remain that way for long I made my way through the grass at a steady Pace all the way to the main building's front porch I only had to put my hand on the handle to get the door to swing open the interior of the house was Immaculate and clean in stark contrast to the Garden the master seal in the basement was my first destination this was the only time I had ever been in this far corner of the house kha had shown me this section of the house during her pregnancy right after she asked me to be nut's godmother until we came came to a heavily fortified door she smiled sheepishly as she reached above the door frame and returned with a key then she had gone ahead and opened the door with the key as I stood in front of the same door I also reached over the door frame and swept for the key I hoped was still there because my plans depended on being able to access what was behind that door my mind was relieved when my fingers curled around what I was searching for the key vibrated in my hand and felt warm to the touch just shy of being unpleasant it was clearly unhappy to be used by someone who wasn't Uzumaki it seemed like yesterday that kashina had a serious conversation with it thoroughly explaining the idea of a godmother before the key even let me touch it talking to a key you couldn't make that up helped put into perspective why everyone thought Uzumaki were crazy the lights that adorned the Wall came to life as I touched it Illuminating the spiral staircase that led deeper into the basement and into a tiny antichamber with a single hideous door on the other side of the stairs since my first and only visit the impression I had of the door had not not diminished with the passage of time I still had the unsettling feeling that one wrong step might be my last because of the elaborate seal carvings that adorned it I couldn't resist addressing it as I looked down at the key in my hands I couldn't be certain that it would prevent the key from killing me but it at least eased my anxiety I know you don't like me but I need to get into the Vault it's important to protect Naruto Kash Chan's son when the temperature of the key dropped I knew the answer not wasting any more time I inserted the key into the door and anxiously awaited the heavy double doors to open revealing the vast Library filled with Scrolls it was a vast collection of knowledge covering every possible branch of Jutsu with the exception of the fu and Jutsu section but it was still far less extensive than the ucha library full of Jutsu we have stolen with a glance since the beginning of our clan aside from the now lost Uzumaki library on uzushio I doubted that any other Elemental Nation had a more extensive collection since fuan Jutsu was the only Shinobi art in which our eyes didn't give us a significant advantage over others it wasn't really practiced within the uch clan the ability to commit a one- scene unencrypted seal memory with perfect clarity was useful but it didn't improve comprehension like a blacksmith who could only make standard Kai it only allowed us to replicate a variety of specific tools unless we put in the same amount of effort to study and practice as any nonua we would not be able to do anything else not even altering the handle or blade length the ability to make seals specifically for any situ tion was what set a true master of this art apart from the others most people lack the patience to follow this difficult and drawn out process members of my clan were particularly affected because there were many more straightforward routs available to them aided by their eyes a path that unfortunately I had hardly traveled even though kashina and manado had even though it wasn't the purpose of today's visit it was still a wealth of information when the time came for me to enter and catalog the U library I planned to bring it with me but I would have to stay longer than I would of liked I entered the door leading to the master seal without stopping took out the key and fastened it to the thin metal necklace around my neck it was one of four doors the others leading to a training room a forge and an Armory aside from some carvings on the walls ceiling and floor the room was plain and led to a hip high pedestal in the center a foot diameter whitish blue glowing orb hovered a few inches above the pedestal as kha had demonstrated I put my hands on the orb the orbs glow grew brighter instantly and something started to shift inside as the Frantic milky swirling pattern slowed the white color broke up into a variety of Hues they first appeared as letters then as Words which eventually formed entire sentences without giving it much thought I picked up the guest book and looked at the dates of the most recent visitors I was relieved that after the Kyu attack no one had thought to enter the compound so I didn't have to worry about any surprises or having to find something that had been taken I was staring at the compound's access list after giving it some more thought I thought my name would appear under administrator and it did my previous status had been elevated due to the deaths of kha and manado and as I had anticipated jiah's name was placed directly next to mine proving that I wasn't the only one he having access to this house was the last thing I wanted to deal with given what I had planned after leaving my Naruto he had no right to interfere but nothing positive would come of it I immediately deprived him of All rights because he was the only person still alive next to me who had been permitted to enter the building without my prior consent after completing the task for which I had come I was ready to take my hands off when I realized that the ceiling array was months away from failing due to a low chakra level I had never considered the possibility that this might occur I had never used any seals that required continuous maintenance such as barriers I had no choice but to replenish them as much as possible because there was a possibility that someone trying to break into the compound could use up the remaining chakra even more quickly it would be a serious error to rely on them while they might be compromised I inhaled deeply before grudgingly beginning the procedure my chakra was immediately siphoned away in big gulps causing a heavy drain the globe took only a few short seconds to leave me panting on my knees and almost deplete my reserves even though I knew the device was designed with Uzumaki in mind and was ready for the drain I was totally unprepared for how quickly it drained me of my for anyone not named Uzumaki substantial reserves since I'm not a sensor it was a powerful reminder of how much more chakra the Uzumaki had on average which made it clear why they were so much more respected than kha who simply dismissed our training sessions only when she had spammed high level Ninjutsu like a woman under a spell during our spars now that I think about it had I witnessed her display signs of fatigue this only made me more determined I rested for a few minutes before attempting to stand again I took a few tentative steps and then exited the basement in the same manner that I had come I went back to the main House's Lobby and for a while I just stood there looking up the stairs it was one of two grand ornate staircases that curved upward around a 10-ft tall potted Bonsai in the middle of each of the two grand staircases that huged the rooms right and left Corners my eyes were fixed on the right side the confirmation that they were actually gone was what I feared I would discover up there I had to do this for the sake of my Naruto but there was no way around it I let out a long sigh and started to move again my fingers brushed the wide railing the Kina and I had used as a slide countless times as kids as ascended the stairs Mito obasan used to reprimand us with a smile on her face whenever she saw us descending the stairs as Apes but I couldn't remember a single instance of his doing so as regular people this was the last step just one more and I would actually be on the second floor the first door on the right led to K's room which was 20 steps away I pushed away the fear that FR to pull me back into its clutches and hurriedly closed the gap before pushing it down I wrapped my hands around the handle and gave myself one last deep breath when I saw the figurative Battlefield in front of me the door opened smoothly and I couldn't help but smile in addition to being scattered on the large table and occupying the majority of the right wall Scrolls in various stages of opening were also all over the floor the Scrolls were sometimes stacked in piles with the odd article of clothing strewn in between it resembled a glimpse into the past the room appeared as though she had just left for a moment because of the seals that were positioned throughout the house to keep dust from settling I could only Shake my head as I walked a few Paces into the room being careful not to step on anything K's ability to find anything in this chaos let alone work at all was astounding in contrast to manado who had an almost obsessive need to establish order she was the embodiment of chaos he apparently enjoyed labeling and sorting things they couldn't have survived a week without killing one another which was why they had different studies as the saying goes opposites do seem to attract all I had to do now was locate what I was seeking at first I thought that a few hours would give me enough time to accomplish all of my objectives for coming here I started to question that judgment as I looked around the room there was no denying it and I went to work bearing that in mind I began in the corner I recalled how kha would throw objects at me whenever she became enraged when I told her about my progenitor's decision to not use the seal the scroll with the seal meant to protect the Sharingan was no exception making all of her effort in creating it in the first place pointless her mood had not improved even after I offered to reimburse her out of my own pocket for the time she had spent instead it had had the opposite effect and I had angered her rather than appeased her as I had hoped since kha had been insulted I would assume she would accept payment for a favor done for a friend it was one of the few really heated arguments we'd had by that time it was one of the fewer and fewer times she had demonstrated that her moniker had been accurate she had undoubtedly been mellowing out due to age or her relationship with manado however I couldn't imagine kha slowing down as she Grew Older no matter how hard I tried she abruptly decided to turn the verbal battle into a physical one and threw me onto her bed after we had almost ended up doing so during the argument the sex with manado was undoubtedly the cause when it came to her nothing else made sense I remembered how her lips touched mine and how hungry I felt as she almost ate me alive I caught myself tracing my lips absently with my fingers savoring that memory I walked over to her bed in the room's corner and picked up her pillow giving into an unexpected urge even after all these years I still cling to it because I can still smell Ken's scent just by holding it in my hands as I brought it closer to my face and took a whiff the memories it brought back almost overcame me the urge to Simply lay down in her bed cover myself with her blanket close my eyes and let myself drop was something I had to resist I couldn't bring myself to do it regardless of the time constraints I was working under or the original reason I was here I felt sick at the idea of denying Naruto the opportunity to experience his mother's sex by lying in her bed due to my own selfish desires since this might be the only place that kept K's scent alive in order to avoid disturbing this Temple any more than absolutely necessary I put the pillow back on the bed and went back to work during the 30 minutes I spent carefully examining the Scrolls I discovered the most bizarre ideas and was already coming to terms with the fact that the seal was no longer present and that I might need to search elsewhere I recalled some of the diagrams when I picked up another scroll from the stack and forced it open the scroll was this one I put it on an empty corner of the table and opened a seal a cylindrical device with a handle piece that was roughly the length of a canai appeared it was K's design essentially a seal stamp that would enable one of two potential registered users to directly apply what she referred to as a micro seal to a person's eyeball once the seal was in place it would activate and destroy the eye if it were to fall out of its socket or if the person who owned it passed away a tiny needle appeared from inside the gadget as I lifted it up and pushed the SL forward applying the seal to someone's eye would only require pressing it up against their eyeballs and injecting a small amount of chakra into the handle it was so tiny it was hardly perceptible forming a seal no larger than a DOT furthermore it could be entirely obscured if it were placed on the eye while the pupil was looking up and dragging the eyelid aside making it impossible to tell the difference between an eyeball with the seal and one without without a close-up examination unlike the hyuga cursed seal broadcasting for the entire world to see that steel in their eyes was for nothing I had to inform people of its existence to discourage them from even trying because no one else would ever know it existed in the first place this accounted for half of the initial motivation for the existence of such seals even though the faces the thieves would have made when they realized they had been outwitted might have been worth it it wouldn't help my clansmen if their eyes were destroyed after being stolen I unlocked two more instruments from the scroll because there were other ways for someone to obtain the Sharingan they resembled real stamps this time one for each gender and they were able to suspend their ability to have children outside of the barrier they were keyed to in order to prevent conception outside of kah's boundaries the original plan was to key it into the detection barrier that encircles the island the Uchiha Clan's needs would have been adequately met by this measure kashina even had enough foresight to include contingencies because she knew that keying such a seal into a stationary barrier could cause problems it would effectively make everyone with the seal sterile if the detection barrier were to undergo a major overhaul stop functioning properly which is a very real possibility without an Uzumaki present to maintain it or for some other reason the UA would no longer reside inside selected users could be keyed into the instruments themselves making them the only ones with the ability to apply and remove these seals the original plan was to associate them with the heir or heys and the head of the clan they were made so that additional users could only be added with one of the key in users permission only two users could be registered for these tools at once as a precaution and when a new user was entered the previous user who wasn't helping with the process was also blocked from using the tool kha vowed that without these instruments it would be impossible to remove the seals themselves the encryption was randomized unbreakable and generated a unique key for each applied seal using the user's chakra the keys were kept inside the tools it was a good idea and I could easily use the barrier around the Uzumaki compound in place of the one around konaha while using the Uzumaki compound barrier would be more secure it was still far from ideal and keeping the seals keyed to the barrier surrounding Kono would leave too many Avenues of abuse open for my liking given the precarious State my plans would place the clan in the original seal that kashina had based it on which she described as a remnant of patriarchal society was what I was actually pursuing in order to prevent line theft the seal was originally designed to prevent any female marked with it from becoming pregnant by anyone other than the man whose blood was applied to the tool before the seal was made I was aware that to the best of her deranged sense of order she had sealed it into the same scroll unfortunately she had thrown the scroll away without rearranging it and after a little fiddling with the scroll another cylindrical tool emerged it was this the hyuga Caged Bird seal had extra functions that none of these seals had In fairness it had never been designed to be used in the manner that it is today at first kha had been extremely hesitant to even consider my request to make a seal to protect our eyes after some encouragement she finally explained the reason the Caged Bird seal was made by the Uzumaki under false pretenses although this was not widely known the hyuga clan had approached the Uzumaki long before konaha was established wanting a seal to keep their criminals in check and stop them from giving the Bakugan to their enemies in the event that a prisoner escaped the hyuga were banned from receiving Uzumaki seals after the Uzumaki discovered what they had truly done with the seal and to say they were unhappy would be an understatement based on my understanding they had even contemplated severing all connection with that specific seal which included removing the hyuga's obligation to pay the fee seals can be costly especially personalized reusable seals but they ultimately decided against it because they didn't want to be compensated for this in order to prevent the hyuga from keeping the money the Uzumaki Clan reluctantly accepted it and they still do kashina is to blame but who is it was a perfectly reasonable desire to avoid being remembered as the one who committed another Act of such foolishness I never would have thought of such a seal if was totally unnecessary in such a primitive and barbaric practice to use pain as a form of control the Caged Bird seal wasn't infallible so it was a spectacularly foolish idea that only served to incite resentment in the recipients no in order to maintain my Clan's loyalty I would need to use other methods the idea didn't appeal to me much but I wasn't in a position to pick and choose how I did it at that point I noticed a partially open scroll resting on the table although I was only able to read a small portion I was intrigued by the words prisoner and execution which I was able to decode I reread the contents found it difficult to believe my luck and felt compelled to kiss kha she continued to inspire me even from the afterlife to be honest it might not be as bad this time around she is the only one with seals lying around carelessly that most Clans would be happy to kill the compound was to be fair practically impregnable and I suspected that the door handles of most of the rooms glowed when touched nevertheless seals such as these were meant to be secured behind the strongest possible door and defenses Uzumaki I was repeatedly relieved that they were peaceful when they were still alive even though even at that time some people still thought they were too frightening to be permitted to live I could tell that assessment was frighteningly accurate just by looking at what I had lying in front of me which was a glimpse of what they were truly capable of if not constrained by morality and a dislike of violence it was fortunate that Uzu Shakir only gave Kumo and Kiri the deaths of their soldiers when the Uzumaki destroyed the island of all traces of life and proof that a civilization had ever existed there they took them all with them the two versions of the seal that are shown on the scroll would be very useful it was intended to be a tool for carrying out executions as far as I could tell by giving the community something back the Creator hoped to give ending the lives of criminals some lasting meaning and essentially make them atone for their sins it seems that he thought it was wasteful to Simply kill criminals when their lives could be used for other purposes he was somewhat success ful in that regard with the seal he devised since you would need to be found guilty of a capital offense most often murder in order to receive a death sentence some would even refer to it as Poetic Justice therefore he literally gave back a Life by transferring the criminals Life Force to another person and adding it to their own this meant among other things that the recipients lives were extended by transferring the donor's remaining lifespan to them according to the description furthermore the life force might be utilized to treat life-threatening illnesses even regenerate amputated limbs a sacrificial alter array meant for executions was the first variation in the scroll the second and more intriguing version described how that seal could be used to connect two or more individuals its intended use in this form was to serve as a death switch for criminals who for whatever reason needed to be kept alive while still having the ability to kill them if they attempted to flee although it was interesting that the ceiling Matrix was adaptable enough to enable individuals connected by it to share life force with one another with a few additions I found it more intriguing that the Seal's activation could be linked to preconditions I was already starting to think of ways to modify that seal to suit my requirements even though the specifics were far beyond my expertise I might just be able to create what I had in mind by carefully following the Seal's detailed instructions admittedly this wasn't exactly a good idea tampering with seals without fully comprehending their characteristics was never a good idea but the opportunity they gave me was simply too good to pass up as it was highly unlikely that I would ever again have such a f fantastic opportunity I got everything I came for and more when I combined it with the detection seal I had previously discovered in the scroll full of paralyzing seals kashina had made to sell it was difficult to avoid thinking too much about why one of kash's stack of open Scrolls contained a seal that was originally meant for parents who were fed up with looking for their mischievous children as long as they were living it enabled those who were marked with it to sense each other's general direction by pulling at a symbolic thread that bound them together I collected my chakra made a single cage bunin which was the most I could do after the orb had drained me and gave her the Scrolls she would stay behind and be tasked with getting ready for what lay ahead I activated kamui by reaching for the warm key concealed under my shirt after a second I came out of the kamui dimension unharmed and unaffected I let out the breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding put on my sleep clothes again teleported into my bedroom and slipped under the covers I smiled as I fell asleep looking forward to what the next day would bring shisui said hey there sis to me he sat down opposite me at the chabudai and asked so what's this all about he immediately raised his hands and surrender when I gave him a stern look and I reassured him by saying not that I'm complaining but you have to agree it's not every day that you break into my house to leave a note saying to come over for some tea you haven't heard I asked out loud raising my eyebrows at his casual demeanor which even for him seemed inappropriate in light of the recent events however neither of us could claim that we were close to our father heard what father died yesterday startled he cried what how as is customary in our clan I burned his body to Ash after removing his eyes so fugaku thought the coroner had told him they say his heart gave out the truth would never be revealed to anyone he said again his heart him but muttered under his breath I didn't know he had one as the prim and proper daughter and wife of the clan leader I reprimanded my younger brother saying you should not speak ill of the dead it is Unbecoming he cowed and said sorry as silence descended upon us his voice returned after more than a minute as I poured hot tea into the cup in front of him I hummed my agreement we seemed to share the sentiment little brother I know father and I didn't have a good relationship and that we weren't close hell I'd say we weren't even family after all I was just the spare the second born who couldn't hope to live up to his expectations everything about me according to him was just wrong my person ity the way I walk the way I talk you name it I'm sure father could have found a flaw in it when it pertained to me he said in a slightly regretful tone that was hard to understand I thought as I balled my hand under the table into a fist I never understood how you could get along with him I'm actually curious how did you manage him not constantly looking at you as if your mere existence was an insult to him I had been having him change and tamper with my personality and mind for years and years until I became what he thought his ideal daughter should be like I said to him calmly and with a nice smile it certainly did not help your case that you made a sport out of trying to get a rise out of Father we settled into a cozy silence while drinking tea after he made a poor attempt to conceal his embarrassment with a laugh yeah there was that he said well when's the funeral in a week from now his ashes will be scattered across the Naka River as per his will I see he said considering what I had said the response to his query was straightforward you know I never could wrap my head around why your husband ended up taking the mantle of Clan leadership and not you after all you were father's perfect little princess father had forced me to serve as breeding stock for his chosen successor because he didn't think I would make a good replacement for himself father had prepared me to be the most amiable wife he could make me for that rule in this manner the father had attempted to guarantee that fugaku's Heir would inherit his Heritage and beliefs but my brother didn't need to know those facts it was my decision I didn't want to spend most of my time with those stuffy elders and instead wanted to take care of my family who could blame you he said wisely where is the rest of the family the last time I was here sui wouldn't stop talking and asking questions about what being in Ambu was like apparently her one Chan refuses to talk about it fugaku is working sauri is with Kumi and as for where isumi is you would probably know better than me you might have a point there he laughed and admitted speaking of kids what can you tell me about saur's classmate Uzumaki Naruto he became alert at once at that question he shot back what makes you think I know anything about him please do not insult my intelligence need I remind you that I was once part of U too I also know how the higher ups think they would never allow a vulnerable Village asset to be without protection protection that as it happens is not provided by the uch police force which in turn just leaves us with let's assume you are correct that still doesn't mean I know [ __ ] he said finishing my sentence I lowered my head and silently asked him the question really do you want things to proceed this way no it does not if we were talking about anything else than Uzumaki Naruto as I mentioned earlier little brother I wore an animal mask myself I know how popular those missions within the village are for obvious reasons and that for the sake of fairness there is a rotation in place for all lowrisk recurring missions a mission like guarding the village jur certainly enjoys great popularity with your comrades so let us try this again what can you tell me about who Maki Naruto why the sudden interest one Chan you didn't once ask me about the kids since I joined Anu and I've been with them for Wow nearly 3 years time does fly my mind was racing with the phrase I recently regained my freedom and am interested in the well-being of my godson who turned out to be my kin as an alternative I stated father's death made me reconsider some of my Life Choices it did he struggled to control his astonishment at what I said don't tell me you also are going to divorce for fugaku he quipped he deserved much worse for his role in keeping me from assuming custody of my Naruto of course not I said in a phony outrage he is the father of my children narut would have called me his mother if he hadn't run to my progenitor after I made it obvious that I wanted him to talk some sense into me right he sighed you do know that getting rid of him doesn't change that it would also allow you to depose him you couldn't be a worse leader if you tried he joked I perceived it as a clear attempt to soften the impact of his earlier statement he appeared terribly interested in a change of leadership and it was difficult to ignore this it appeared that my suspicions that my younger brother was a spy were not entirely unfounded considering his strong distaste for politics he was right to be fair ideally a change of leadership could prevent conflict between the clan and the village in all likelihood the hardliners in the clan would attempt to kill me if I were to seize control of it and move in that direction they would care for shisui concurrently because doing so would require them to go beyond the bounds of opposing their own family although I had faith in my abilities I also knew that being slain by a canai rammed into your throat was just one of many possible ways to die the clan with fugaku probably leading the charge would be highly motivated and it wouldn't be the first time that driven shenobi managed to defeat someone who was supposedly unbeatable in a battle using some unusual methods therefore no little brother that wasn't a realistic choice for me the village would be the only one to benefit from that since it would set the ucha against one another to stop them from igniting a civil war they could pick up the pieces or if they were brave enough to break the konaha charter support one side over the other it might work at least temporarily I didn't want to be the puppet or Psy of the village that was enough for me to last a few lifetimes already however by expressing those ideas to the current clan leader wife he was engaging in a risky game particularly in light of the fact that he was a spy I mean it was careless but when wasn't my brother however I didn't think he had done that to test my allegiance I know what you were doing I told you stop trying to change the topic and answer the question well I guess there is no harm in telling you I don't think you would hurt Ken's kid but please keep what I tell you to yourself he took his time examining me then relaxed inside saying the last thing I need at the moment is being dragged before Dragon cuz I mentioned some irrelevant tidbits of info over tea with my sister I responded by giving my brother the most supportive smile I could muster even though I was Furious inside how foolish of him to even think that I could harm my Naruto for that slight I was on the verge of removing his intestines through his nose he thought where to start as he tapped the chabu die with his index finger he's a good kid kind boisterous exuberant and just like Kina has a verbal tick he's also smart alarmingly so contrary to what the academy instructors write into their report cards about the Kyu Brad they're the ones sabotaging his education by removing moving him from class for madeup reasons my fingers were digging into my thighs I've never seen anyone come up with traps on the Fly the way he does for those pranks of his using only the materials he has at hand it's frankly mind-boggling the sophistication of some of them is unbelievable to say he had a talent for them is the understatement of the century he's that good I wasn't surprised that there were a lot of similarities between creating a seal and creating a trap because both required the ability to piece everything together as well as the imagination and creativity required by that time he was shaking his head if only it would be acknowledged as such I feared his response as I asked what do you mean there's no easy way to say this he thought the kid is ostracized pretty much any adult he interacts with treats him like [ __ ] no doubt blending the kid and the monster residing in his seal into one entity this wouldn't necessarily be a problem if not for the children unconsciously mirroring their parents Behavior if they are even allowed to get near him to begin with as you can imagine the result of this is that he doesn't have a single friend to his name some of the clan kids tolerate his presence probably because their parents aren't morons and taught their kids better but peer pressure at that age is nothing to scoff at those pranks of his I mentioned are for the most part aimed at people who slighted him in some fashion some would credit that to a vindictive streak in the kid but I don't think that is really the case I think it's just a means for him to cope to turn a sad experience he suffered at the hands of someone into a happy one with with the probably intended side effect of excluding the people who wronged him in a similar fashion also it attracts attention towards him which he's starved of so he might already be at a point where he's willing to draw the bad kind of attention rather than getting none at all he surmised and I couldn't argue with that it was too obvious to be untrue basically my brother went on the kid only has a few people in the village who treat him like a person rather than a plague that Ramen chef and his daughter among them although it might be because he's their best customer he joked sometimes I wonder if the kid eats anything besides Ramen Tui I exclaimed remembering that I hadn't had Ramen or a bull since kash's passing she was the one who as she liked to say took manado and me there almost every day to worship the greatest food ever prepared yeah how did you know it was kash's favorite after a brief pause he continued the only other positive relationship the kid has is with the third he calls him old man the cheek of that kid ah he said scratching his cheek that makes a sort of sense I guess he laughed my lips formed a gentle smile at the sound of that kha shared this sentiment disregarding social status and titles he regained his composure and said the troubling thing is I'm pretty certain this all is by Design I know for a fact that at least three people came back from guarding him and informed the Hokage about the worrying degree of isolation narut had to endure without effect well that may not be entirely true to be fair the ones who brought it up were bar from taking that mission again and the next day the Hokage gave narut a short visit I think they're conditioning him limit positive relationships with him to a scant few and he'll latch onto those that remain that much harder eventually coming to consider them as His most precious people willing to do anything to make them happy I said without Koto matsukami help they were treating him the same way my father had treated me I beheaded to speak with heisen for a few heated words with a dash of fire and bloodshed if I didn't already have a plan in place that as an unintended consequence would get my narut out of that predicament he concurred yeah pretty much I inquired where is he living when my brother was asked he made a telling Grimace surely he has a caretaker he is still just a kid even though our village seems to forget that quite often tell me about it said the confused man but unfortunately not HEK on his own and as I understand it the only reason he isn't living in the orphanage until his graduation as as usually the case goes back to some kind of incident I'm not privy to the details since the incident predates my joining of vanu I only know what ever happened was enough for the hokagay to give him his own two- room apartment on the Eastern edge of the civilian District you mean to tell me he resides in that rundown part with all those abandoned warehouses is there even anyone living there not really he Shrugged it makes keeping an eye on him easier he didn't explicitly state it but he implied that it also made it more difficult for him to communicate with others thank you for telling me little brother he paused in the middle of his sentence and said don't SW sweat something isn't right swaying from side to side in concern his body threatened to topple over the chabu Dy so he had to look at the half full teacup before looking up at me and pressing out what have you done with all of his remaining strength as I moved to catch him I couldn't tell if he was surprised that my eyes were closed and he was definitely not in a state to express it I gently moved him by his shoulders put his head in my lap and began to stroke it he coked out of his throat if you are wondering why I have killed you then the answer answer is that you are a traitor putting the village above the welfare of the clan you are also too dangerous to allow to live your eyes in particular have proven too dangerous to be left in the wrong hands I also have a need for them you are also in the way my real Target happens to be the subversive elements who have taken over the uch clan their transgressions are too numerous to count some I could have found it in me to forgive but when their actions even if only by accident negatively impacted Naruto their lives were forfeit a foregone conclusion with me is their judge jury and executioner do not worry little brother I have no intention to exterminate the whole clan some will be allowed to live in order to make up for the Clan's crimes it will be a chance the clan was underserving of as we tie our Fates to someone else I will make sure this second chance is not squandered and it will eventually lead to a stronger and better uch Clan rising from the ashes residing in the shadows of something even greater I explained don't fight it it is feudal the poison I used was a special concoction of my own making it will blast right through whatever little protection the poison resistance training you received as U gave you once ingested and the onset time passes you die no exceptions the poison is slowly suffocating you as your lungs stop working in your heart Stills and makes you drift into a dreamless sleep before it is over I tried to make your death as pleasant as possible lamenting I continued it is ironic it was me who first held you when you came into this world and it will be me who holds you when you leave it am I not a good dutiful sister little brother when I realized that he was already dead and that his heart had stopped beating I ran my fingers through his hair One Last Time sleep well was whispered as I bent down and kissed his forehead before sitting up straight once more then not wanting to expose myself to an attack from him somehow clinging to life pretending to be dead I took his head off my thighs I closed my eyes and waited patiently for an opportunity to present itself as I went to work I located his eyelids by tracing his face pulled them apart and extracted both of his eyes I opened my eyes to take one last look at Sharingan burning his sleeping form into my mind only after I had held them in my hand I felt a moment of regret that I had not been able to risk looking through his memories it would have been good to have some of my theories validated it would have been even better to find out what the village was up to if I was correct I Advanced my eyes to my eternal mangu and summoned the first stage of my susano by pumping more ch into them I gave one of my brothers limbs his eyes and told it to implant them inside of it it only took a second and then I threw the chakra construct away although doing this in the uch district was risky I hoped that a second pair of eyes with the same strength would somehow strengthen it because I would soon need Cotto amatsukami I had no idea what the outcome might be because this was the first time I had eyes with duplicate abilities even though those eyes weren't promoted to their mangu stage it didn't take long for them to settle and I felt a surge of power that was very different from what I had experienced with my Naruto's eyes it was a boost like the one My Father's Eyes had given me it's nothing to laugh at but it's also nothing to shatter the world I extracted a ceiling scroll from beneath the chabu die and unfolded it on the floor beside my brother I grabbed his hip rolled his body over on top of the scroll and used some chakra to make it vanish in a cloud of smoke after rolling up the scroll I made my way to the Shoji that led into the house looking back over my shoulder I caught a final glimpse of the U District in all its Splendor bathed in the Crimson rays of the waning Sun a scene that says more about the Clan's situation than a thousand words could I left without lingering and went back inside with shisui I had come very close the clan meeting which was scheduled to begin shortly after Sundown was about to begin but there was nothing to be done about it his abrupt disappearance might have been noticed and ruined my plan if I had taken care of him any earlier which I obviously couldn't allow I went to my room and threw away my blouse Plum skirt and apron stripping down to my underwear my husband and my ancestors had forced me to wear those clothes but I would no longer need them they served only to display my departure from my life as a Shinobi and were a representation of my oppression I was overjoyed to get rid of them at last something special and suitable for such a festive occasion was required tonight I knew exactly what to do when I opened my closet since it would reveal the game I obviously couldn't go there wearing anything like a combat outfit so I made do with the next best thing I grabbed a black kimono with a flower design made entirely of a complex hean bana design last farewells are connected to the Scarlet flower Legend has it that these flowers grow wherever people part ways for the better and that they guide the dead through samsara I commissioned the kimono 8 years ago for the latter reason I knew kha would require all the assistance she could get to find her path to Eternal Peace So the best seamstress in the village used only the best materials to create it I would be thinking about the other meaning a lot today my skin felt even more smooth and silky than I had remembered the kimono fit me like it had the last time I wore it and I stepped in front of my full length mirror the floral design which featured a single large hegan bana on the back caught my attention for a moment four dark green tendrils emerged from it two of which formed a double helix pattern around my legs and one of which trailed along each arm in a wavy line moreover the inside of the tyu F it had two additional large hegan banana which made it appear completely black when my arms were crossed in front of my stomach concealing the flower pattern from view it would take me a few minutes to acquaint myself with the tyu furd in the event of a fight it was undoubtedly not the most sensible item to wear I was confident I could handle it in spite of that my hair was the only thing left unlike a kunoichi in a brawl a housewife had no trouble wearing my long hair straight I used to braid it into a single braided fishtail to keep it out of my line of sight when I was still active but I couldn't wear it without drawing suspicion just like with my previous combat gear I therefore made do with a plated low bun although it was much more practical it wasn't nearly as appropriate to wear with a kimono as a nhong gami would have been I took a tile off the floor of my closet and placed all of my ceiling scrolls with my equipment in the back of my Scarlet Obie it was replaced by a wooden case that I took out of the hidden compartment I put it on my bed opened it and discovered everything was just as I had left it when I had been preparing it this morning a number of vials containing freshly prepared fast acting par izing poison that required several hours to fully develop its potency a few hundred of the best sbon money could purchase was also in the Box they were made of bone and specially treated to give them the ability to absorb liquids which made them perfect for administering poison after carefully dipping them into the poison for a few minutes I watched as they absorbed it causing the sbond to slightly discolor which was an obvious sign that they were ready for use after I finished getting them ready I sealed everything in one of my Scrolls closed the Box lid and corked up the vials the box also contained two holsters which I filled with sbon and strapped to my underarms I used what were left of the poison sbon to decorate my bun as a final touch I made the snap decision to wear this outfit the first time Naruto saw me after taking one final look at myself in the mirror surely it would make an impression I had to be present at the clan meeting that was about to start because the next step in my plan required it I headed to the Naka Shrine after leaving the house my last visit to it had been a long time ago I was shocked to see that the seventh to Tomi from the far right was unharmed when I entered the main hall through the front gate it wasn't necessary for me to be the first to arrive because I couldn't have predicted this event with any degree of certainty but it was still a welcome surprise that would make things easier I went to the hidden underground bunker where the stone tablet was kept after removing the tatami and the ceiling stone that covered the entrance the clan of uchi's best kept secret I activated my Sharingan as I approached and the parts that could be decoded with it emerg I must have read them countless times particularly the section that explained how to acquire the mangu Sharingan one must first experience genuine despair in order to see the truth of all creation without hindrance it was like all the other lines written on it strangely vague it was more akin to a riddle than actual instructions and there was considerable leeway for interpretation for instance it would be more accurate to read experience true despair rather than witness true despair undoubtedly a sizable portion of my ancestors took that meaning literally and cruy treated others in order to witness their anguish unquestionably this was the cause of the unwavering animosity that some Clans harbored toward us and still maintain today fugaku and the elders gave it far more attention than was necessary even though it was a useless slab of stone whose significance was only revealed in hindsight this was particularly so because it contained no real useful information about our eyes but I wanted to see what else I could figure out with the new eyes I had acquired when I realized the true meaning of those words I pondered whether they would also prevent me from coming here one God was split into Yin and yangong in search of stability these opposing forces work together to obtain everything in Creation in order to Grant the Eternal dream an eye that is reflected on the moon will open when a person with the power of samsara approaches it out of all the new information I had learned these two lines stood out the most and I wasn't sure how to interpret them I sighed cut the chakra stream to my eyes and they returned to normal the second part of my plan needed to be set up I took one of my ob's ceiling Scrolls out and unfolded it fully on the floor perpendicular to the stone slab then I took a few steps and stood with one foot beside the first seal I carefully made sure my furd didn't touch the ground as I lowered myself vertically bending my knees to touch the aray and unseal its contents after taking a half step with my other foot a tiny chabu Dy a water-filled pot a cusu a variety of teas in tiny bowls and a big tablet occupying half the room with teacups on top of chatu all materialized in front of me I touched the water pots bottom again to activate the heating seal I got up from where I was kneeling took a few steps to the next seal and then did it 11 times more the first people showed up by the time I finished when they saw me here most couldn't hide their surprise nevertheless until Yuka descended the ladder nobody came up to me attempting to sat their curiosity in silence she was a close friend of fugaku the eldest granddaughter of Elder Kato and one of the strongest Advocates of my late progenitor policies in spite of this she like my late brother had developed a personality that was offensive to her family and the majority of the clan how could she not given her cheerful and vivacious nature there was discussion about having one of her younger siblings or cousins take her place as the heir to her family Branch if not for her skill as a kunoichi and the prestige she had gained the clan by easily defeating the opposition in the most recent chunan exam which was held in konaha it probably would have happened she surely would have already lost her job if she hadn't demonstrated to the entire Village that she had more than merited her promotion although she wasn't quite as good as isumi the girl was still one of the Clan's few bright spots she was accompanied by her older friend Nagi a quiet and severe girl who was referred to as yuka's Shadow on multiple occasions it was a fitting description because even prior to yuka's promotion they were hardly ever seen apart and had established their own team with two other chunin she joyfully exclaimed Makoto Sama as her leaping steps stopped in front of me what are you doing here she asked I responded why am I not welcome in a direct way that made her Flinch unable to find the right words that that's not what I was only teasing I said smiling as I put an end to her struggle I kept my disgust at calling fugaku that to myself with practiced ease I here because after my father's death in the difficult situation we find ourselves in I deemed it necessary to show my support to my husband and the clan oh she stumbled her disappointment was hard to ignore she was among the most likely candidates to oppose what the clan was trying to do so it was not surprising given how easily anything discussed here could be interpreted as treason that was a potentially dangerous position as a result anyone who disagreed or even just expressed hesitancy to support the suggested idea was instantly suspected and subject to closer scrutiny a careful Balancing Act was necessary she would be neutralized the moment she crossed the line someone tattling to the Hokage was the last thing this little conspiracy needed unfortunately for fugaku if I was correct it had already occurred and right in front of him I could use your help with the tea I replied we parted ways and each went to a chabu die of course makot AMA I knelt before it poured hot water over the cusu and put tea inside each of us only needed to do this three times with the assistance of two other girls admittedly this was a good thing because it made it possible for us to quickly return to our first cusu filling the cups of each chabu di didn't take long at all because we were also accustomed to pouring tea which helped to prevent the tea from becoming overly strong the crowd began to murmur signaling fugaku's arrival shortly after I finished and put the final cusu back on the table to allow him to move to the front of the room the people moved aside I got up picked up the tablet walked two steps to the closest group of people gave it to an elderly woman and motioned for her and her friends to pass the cups around I headed for the stone slab without waiting for them to begin a quick look around the room showed that the rest of the clan at least those of Chun and rank and higher who weren't on duty had arrived while we were making tea since relations with the village had deteriorated fugaku had implemented a precaution that everyone else was expected to be at home since I had personally confirmed that nobody in our clan was presently outside the village everyone should not only be present but also be able to be located inside its boundaries admittedly this would greatly simplify my self- assigned Mission fugaku frowned as he came out of the crowd and saw me what are you doing here he asked in a low voice as he stepped closer to me his back to the people and well out of their hearing range my brother informed me that his duties would stop him from participating today and I thought with the death of my father someone from our side of the family should be present at that he sneered you thought wrong this had better be the last time you interfere with Clan business he turned to see Yuka standing there offering him a cup of tea while holding a tablet fugaku gave it a weary look Yuka had to remind him once more before he grudgingly accepted a chiaka and cup for himself when Yuka appeared in front of me I did as he said she smiled as she retreated back to the crowd after being nodded in gratitude she had performed admirably I couldn't find a single individual without a cup of tea I had a very limited perspective of the people at the far end so this wasn't really saying much even so I doubted many would refuse a costly cup of tea when their clan leader had already purchased one refusing to drink with your host who was essentially fug was considered impolite according to custom thus the room followed him as he brought the cup to his lips I noticed out of the corner of my eye that he pretended to take a sip of the Brew without actually moistening his lips the paranoia of Shinobi at work never eat or drink anything you haven't checked for poison to be honest I was certain that he wasn't the only person in the room who didn't drink but it didn't seem to matter he put the cup back on the chatu waved his hand for Yuka to return to him and set it down on the tablet in the meantime I mentally counted the seconds fugaku was about to open his mouth to start speaking when Yuka stumbled to her feet and Nagi grabbed her before she could fall Nagi in one of the few times she spoke lost her balance and fell to the ground with Yuka In Her Arms before she could express her worry when the larger and older Shinobi followed them to the ground their bodies immobilized there was hardly time for the alarm to register on their faces I was the only person still standing in the room when fugaku who was standing next to me met the same end as everyone one else I swept the room with my Sharingan active anticipating an attack at any moment from someone who had managed to escape poisoning I raised my hands in a cross seal and made two cage bunion when it didn't happen after a few long moments I extracted another scroll from my Obie unfolded it and let loose its contents a massive pile of paralyzing seals the size of Palms I divided them between myself and my clones for convenience I placed the seals I was holding in a breast pocket of my kimono I replaced the scroll in my Obie after resaling it my two clones got to work right away turning everyone onto their backs and sealing their foreheads following application they gave off a subtle blue glow indicating that the chakra was sealed off and active as a precaution because I just couldn't count on the poison to render them unconscious long enough because too many factors affect how much is absorbed through the skin contact poisons are inherently unreliable the effectiveness and duration were considerably impacted by the mere fact that someone was wearing gloves or by the number of fingers used to hold the teacup the poison was applied to the outside of the cup as a thin layer of colorless varnish which would release the poison when the Cup's temperature Rose above a particular point this didn't help the situation it was impossible to determine the precise amount of poison released from the varnish due to variations in water temperature and cup fill levels additionally each person's Constitution had to be taken into consideration with the two main factors being mass and poison resistance no the poison wouldn't be enough on its own before I stored them in my kamui Dimension I trailed behind my clones as they went around the room performing a quick medical scan on each person with a seal and classifying them into two groups I was taking a chance even though kamui was a very practical place to store things I couldn't risk keeping delicate items there for an extended period of time especially since Kakashi was out there with Obito's other eye which I suspected was related to the one I had my options were limited because of the time constraints I was under despite the large number of people people we were able to quickly go through them all by working together after completing their assignment the Clones started clearing away all the leftover evidence including the dropped objects tea spills and cups when the remaining inmates disappeared in a whirl they were still doing that there was only one more item to take I walked to the front of the room taking my time even though I didn't like it and the stone slab wasn't really that useful it was still a part of our clan and I couldn't risk abandoning it without all the sharing gun firmly under my control it might actually make some sense to someone my hand touched the stone and it joined the inmates it wouldn't take my clones long to finish so I glanced over my shoulder one last time they would then be free to raid and gather all of the clan members who weren't present or on duty today primarily the elderly and children as well as the remaining valuables that belong to them in the clan in a swirl I disappeared I then showed up directly outside the headquarters of the uch police force the building was ugly in more ways than one if I had to pick just one thing that irritated me it would be the police Force's use of the uch clan symbol by permitting the clan to be publicly associated with the police force my father and grandfather made a grave error that led many people to assume that our clan and the police force were one and the same this deepened the rift and served as the Catalyst for a lot of our issues individuals disliked being policed by others and they disliked it even more when it was imposed on them it seems that many of my relatives were born with the uch pride which prevented them from doing anything else long-lasting animosity resulted from this and it didn't help that the police force didn't prefer to conceal their identities by Dawning masks like u i grinned as I entered the structure if nothing else cutting those connections would help me decompress straw dummies were a poor substitute for the sound of breaking bones the smell of blood and the sight of Life leaving an enemy's eyes and it had been a while since I had let loose Makoto Sama The chunin Who manned the big reception desk in the center of the lobby said to me through the hallways behind it he acted as a gatekeeper to the remainder of the building it's a pleasure to see you how may I be of service junichiro was his name he was a decent enough man married with a 2-year-old daughter named rioko and eager to please by choosing to remain stagnant for the past 12 years he embodied everything that was wrong with our clan rather than attempting to become the best version of himself he relied only on his eyes to get him through the drunken fights that his superiors sent him to stop anyone born with the advantages Our Heritage offered in my my opinion ought to be able to earn at least an aank Shinobi rating in the Bingo books it wasn't that difficult to do in the end arriving at the front desk I shuffled closer to him as fast as my attire allowed I am looking for my husband I said giving him a seductive smile that I didn't even have to fake because I would never have to call fugaku anything but his name again it had the desired effect of lowering his guard which was already almost non-existent and he hasn't returned home yet give me a minute he said I hit him the moment he looked away from me and down at what I thought was a list beyond my line of sight the senbon sbon between my index and middle fingers began to break his skin and fill his veins with toxins as my hand moved forward more quickly than a normal eye could follow and closed around his mouth preventing him from making any noise when he finally understood what was happening his eyes widened but then he slumped against my arm it was easy to turn him over the desk without his resistance the only sound he made as he fell onto his back was a dull thud and a slight grunt I grabbed one of the par Iz Ing and chakra suppression seals from my kimono and applied it to his forehead I made him vanish with kamui safe in that way although the poison that was saturated in my senbon sen bons acted very quickly its effects were not immediate if he had succeeded in alarming his fellows it would not have altered the final result fighting 2 20 or a 100 would not really change the situation our clan was in I still used subterfuge to eliminate them for the straightforward reason that I didn't find it enjoyable to hunt down Kinsmen who were running in all directions especially when they were wearing kimonos they would also run away if they saw me eliminate a dozen of their allies without getting any scratches therefore it was undoubtedly less of a headache to take them out in small groups I went around the desk and looked over the roster of Duties with 26 on site and 12 Twan teams patrolling The Village the total of 50 is manageable luckily because the team's shifts were spaced out to guarantee that there was always a police presence on the streets none of them were expected to return for another 30 minutes I ped for a while before deciding to tour the station room by room I made three more Shadow clones to accomplish this further depleting the chakra I had available with the Clones assistance I could send one of myself down each Corridor saving time we all assumed Jun chiro's likelihood after a brief henge it wouldn't stand up to scrutiny this Academy ranked Jutsu could be easily penetrated by the Sharingan in addition to being a good lie detector this was one of the justifications offered for why we had to be the ones policing The Village they would have to look at me with the Sharingan activated for it to matter to the best of my knowledge in order to avoid the precise situation I was about to put into action there was a standing order in place to flash your Sharingan at anyone approaching you that you had lost sight of for more than a moment therefore my strategy shouldn't work in theory however people became complacent especially when they were not on the battlefield if the Uchiha Clan led by fugaku had become anything it was complacent I made my way to the first office down the corridor there was the sound of a dipped pen scraping on paper and the door was slightly open I opened the door and entered without hesitation my decision not to use a covert strategy was further supported when two heads hunched over their work turned to face me neither of them bothered to activate their Sharingan it was inevitable that someone would eventually be caught sneaking down the hallways because the room only had two small windows and one other way in one of them annoyed that his work was being interrupted asked what is it the smile on the face of the person I posed as did not in the least let the harsh reaction to my presence the next instant two sbond sank into the chunin neck in the room so it didn't really matter slumping over in his seat the person who had spoken to me let out a startled what out of his throat as she leapt from her seat his female partner was able to wrap one hand around the senbon the other hand attempted to reach the canai holster around her thigh but was unsuccessful when vertigo struck her hand stopped in the middle and she collapsed to the ground standing in the door frame I watched the hallway in case someone heard something and came to look into it I entered the room completely tagged them and carried them to the others after waiting for a few seconds during which I listened carefully and heard nothing of the sort when a door farther down opened and someone stepped out I started back down the corridor to the Next Room the man's Vision was almost obscured by the more than a dozen Scrolls he was balancing on his arm he was probably on his way to the archives when he approached me the only acknowledgement I got was a brief nod when my hand struck sideways and inserted a senbon into his neck I waited for him to pass me I quickly turned on my heels and stopped the Scrolls from clattering To The Ground by using chakra strings a technique I picked up from a sunna puppeteer during the third Shinobi World War he was slowly collapsing into a heap when I grabbed him with my other hand and leaned him against the wall I tagged him fastened the Scrolls and forced him to join the others taking them out was becoming monotonous almost tedious no Mission has ever been this mind numbingly simple and monotonous as far as I can recall surprisingly there was none of the excitement of battle that often made my heart race the entire situation began to feel less like a real battle and more like a chore I completely anticipated that this would have resulted in at least one fight by now ever since I witnessed The Village's treatment of my Naruto I had been itching for one after dropping the henge I walked a short distance into the break room there were five of my clansmen scattered about there were two of them standing close to a table that had a tea set on it I smelled the tea from the hallway back there as one of them poured himself a cup two more were Seated on chairs in one corner of the room talking quietly the final individual turned back to the room to find me standing there after simply shutting a cabinet and getting a box of B after a few long seconds during which I could have killed him and everyone in this room a dozen times he finally recovered enough to ask Makoto Sama what are you doing here his words made the others aware of me and almost at the same time their gazes fell upon me I replied honestly cocking my head to the side and grinning I am here to kill you please struggle to your heart's content he almost choked on his freshly poured tea when he took the first sip the person who had initially spoken to me said surely you were J okay but that was all he could do because the canay I threw at him with a wrist flick missed the only girl in the room by only a few inches her conversation partner's quick reflexes were the only thing that prevented her brain stem from being punctured they caught the canai in midair setting Sharingan on fire the others astonishment was brief because they also displayed their Sharingan and those who were already standing lowered themselves into a relaxed position last but not least I hoped they wouldn't let me down too much to the dismay of my opponents I was able to quickly deflect the flurry of shuriken that were coming at me from the two at the tea counter after my canai was returned to me in a vicious but well- aimed throw our eyes briefly locked and the girl attempted to put me into a Jutsu with his lack of skill at jinjutsu it was a clumsy attempt that might have worked on fugaku the jinjutsu didn't even take hold on me it just washed over me the final person in the room began a series of hand seals after dropping the box he didn't tell me what Jutsu he was going to use until he finished the first two the others had come upon me by that point canai in hand except for the girl their first attack wasn't too bad it was well timed and hit several targets at once I disrupted their timing by directly confronting two of their attacks I blocked the attacker's canai to my right and grabbed the attacker's canai wielding hand to my left left in an iron grip only the one in the middle was left and he had to use a Thrust because of the limited space with his two allies by his side I took a step to the side guiding the attacker into the thrusts path while using his forward momentum to my left to slip past his arm only the sharingan's foresight allowed him to Halt the thrust before the canai was crushed beneath his comrade's back I managed to get them all in a line directly in front of me with that easy slip it not only abruptly ended their strategy to encircle me in case their initial assault failed to take me down but it also temporarily prevented them from supporting one another I made the most of this chance by cutting the tendons in his arms before I released his hand my parting gift was a kick to the side of his knee followed by the sound of its familiar crunch as it broke and I took another step back I could see that my previous opponent was still trying to use Jutsu by looking toward the back of the room it was impossible for me to let him finish the series of hand seals without spitting a fireball not because I had to be afraid of the Jutsu even in this small area avoiding or blocking it wouldn't be that hard the issue would be the fire that would surely result from all the flammable objects nearby I didn't mean that it would make you less visible to be honest I was accustomed to it and could handle it few people worthy of their headband had not attempted to negate the advantage the Sharingan offered in combat but I didn't think the same could be said for my enemies the smoke would still be an issue though in contrast the smoke column might be visible and draw undue attention even at night due to the scattered light from houses and the odor would persist in the wind I would prefer not to have it I would have taken care of him with a jinjutsu under normal conditions the simplest and most effective solution would have been to subtly trick someone into thinking he had opened his mouth when he hadn't which would have prevented the molded fire chakra from escaping out of his mouth and instead trapped it inside his body by burning his insides to a crisp unfortunately he would undoubtedly die if he did this even when they failed the majority of the harmful chakra was expelled from their bodies and the burns were restricted to the mouth making a burn to the throat or lungs extremely uncommon this would be a far cry from the typical injuries Uchiha clansmen suffered while attempting to learn this Jutsu in contrast to my jinjutsu which had been created with the sole intent of killing opponents by using their own Jutsu against themselves even those who had a way for the chakra to escape posed no threat to life I decided to deal with him in a different way because I needed them alive for the time being they separated and were hurled in Broad arcs at the opponent in the rear as I tugged at the chakra string that ran from my finger to the shuriken protruding from the walls behind me despite their great speed their numbers were too small for anyone with a Sharingan to have trouble avoiding which is exactly what I was hoping for for him to believe this to be a last ditch effort to prevent his JSU from being completed by the narrowest of margins he avoided the shuriken all it took to get them to miss was a sideways step and a sideways tilt of his head he positioned himself precisely where I wanted him to be by doing this it was therefore too late to take action against against them when he discovered the cage shuriken I had concealed in the shadow of the shuriken he had avoided his body was covered in metal stars and as his eyes widened in surprise he screamed instantly his chakra's control faltered as a result and the Jutsu was canceled he tried to defend himself which caused his arms to sustain the majority of the damage from my attack his konah havest ensured that he would survive while the damaged condition of his arms would permanently keep him out of the fight by preventing the shuriken from causing more than minor injuries to his torso making sure he wouldn't get any ideas like asking for help was all that remained while this was going on my other enemies weren't sitting around and launched another assault they tried to flank Me by jumping over their comrade who was holding his knee on the ground I ducked under a high kick from the right as I circled left after parrying a canai from the left it pushed me out of the right-hand adversary's grasp making him follow me as I repelled the increasingly desperate attacks of my left-hand adversary he must have realized that I was too good for him and that his friend was the the only reason I hadn't skewed him yet every assault I would launch would unavoidably return me to his grasp even if it only took a brief conversation to decide that my insight was better than theirs I wouldn't think twice about doing exactly that but against nanu it was not significant enough to let me get away with it not in the scope of what I was prepared to use against them furthermore I was certain that I had not yet fully realized the scope of his abilities compared to his initial attack sandwiched between the others his speed had increased without proper physical conditioning not even copying from a master would replicate the speed and power of the high kick I had previously avoided it was a perfect replica of what that guy kid demonstrated in his joh and exam and spoke volumes about his dedication taking him down in tautu might be a good workout if it weren't for his partner who was more of a hindrance than a help still I had to get rid of any possible Intruders before that could take place from the corner of my eye I saw that the girl was preparing for another attack as she went through some well-known hand seals while Sparks flew left and right from my canai colliding with my attackers bringer of Darkness it was overly optimistic to believe that the clan Aris would be affected by toor's antie ucha jinjutsu she had to learn non- Sharingan based jinjutsu the hard way but it was still commendable for iian to put in the effort torama had made every effort to prevent the Sharingan from stealing his jutsus with a single glance I had just what I needed to make room for myself I briefly met the girl's eyes and used basic jinjutsu on her just before she made her own I shifted her perception of me and her allies so that even if she were to notice the Jutsu and instantly flare her chakra to disperse it it would unavoidably interfere with her own given how little chakra I saw her waist in her first jinjutsu doing both of those things at once required a chakra control that is only found in a small number of people per generation a group she was not a part of the moment the man in the back's eyes glazed over telling me that the jinjutsu had taken hold I had the chance to take action I sided kept the canai that was headed for my chest and for the first time in this exchange attacked when I took a step forward my opponent's guard was thrown aside and out of position leaving him exposed as he attempted to pull his arm back to his body a quick cut close to his armpits severed the tendons causing him to lose control of the limb and the canai IT held to fall uselessly to the ground I used one of my senbon to puncture his neck rather than inflict more pain in order to permanently remove him from the battle I also threw a sbon at the other two men who were lying on the floor in pain now that I had the freedom to do so their groans faded in a matter of seconds only three people were left standing in the room as a result as I examined them it became evident that their capacity to proceed was doubtful the man was staggering around unable to see because of the jinjutsu that had struck him I enjoyed using my enemies Jutsu against them the most as usual just in time to see her allies defeated the girl had managed to shatter my illusion she let her hands fall to her sides finally realizing the point lessness of fighting and prepared to accept her fate condemned to face me alone although it was not uncommon for people to lose the will to fight due to an insurmountable skill Gap I had anticipated more from UA it goes without saying that I didn't think she would be able to match kash's lack of common sense just not understanding the word give up no one would but it felt wrong to see oiha doing it Makoto Sama this unworthy one begs for your mercy please allow me to swear myself to you the girl fell to her KNE knees and prostrated herself on all fours in front of me as I was about to act on my annoyance I was understandably surprised by this was this girl really that weak that she had to beg for her life I initially believed this to be a ruse to distract me from her a quick scan of the room verified her allies whereabouts but I didn't let my guard down I was able to see my surroundings almost uninterrupted by using the reflective surfaces of the metal dishes that this bout spread across the floor I drew closer to the girl stopping directly in in front of her moving carefully so that my body wouldn't block my blinded opponent's Reflections in the unlikely event that he was able to break the Jutsu I said Shar right look at me so she could look into my eyes the first thing that struck me when she complied and slowly raised her head off the ground was that she had chosen to deactivate them rather than meet my Sharingan with her own which increased her vulnerability I looked for signs of fear and deceit in her eyes but I couldn't find any she was sincere which made me wonder why if that was her opinion she had attacked me after a short while she turned away from us blushing slightly and was looking at the ground as though it were the most fascinating thing she had ever seen it aroused my interest I put my hand on her cheek and reached for the side of her head gently pressing her head back toward me I moved my gaze to the mangu and looked at her memories to support my suspicions as our eyes locked again they were right it turned out the girl painfully aware of the limitations of taijutsu that prevented her from doing anything overt unless she wanted to risk being killed had tried to assist me ever since I had made my intentions clear she had invited my own Jutsu to prevent her from using the second one because she knew the first one she had used on me wouldn't even be enough to slow me down this was done purposefully to waste chakra all of that was done to give the impression to her allies that she was fighting me with everything she had but in reality she was stacking the deck in my favor she was a potential Deep Cover agent at least until I discovered how she had done it the fact that she could accurately predict me left a bad t in my mouth in addition she had devoured every scrap of knowledge she could find about me giving her a deeper understanding of me than most people and none of them were still alive not surprisingly given that she had cheated and quite successfully she also knew things about me that no one should know when she saw her mother Seiko my caregiver who was only a few years older than me die she had triggered her Manu Sharingan she was the only member of the clan that I would have even considered a friend she had been my only connection to the clan but when tragedy struck and she passed away while giving birth to shar's younger brother that connection was broken as we both grieved for the same person and worked to remove her from her poisonous home life I had been kind to her without Seiko to protect her from her father's worst Tendencies I knew things would only get worse after suffering injuries during the third Shinobi World War he turned to sake bottles as a way to cope with the end of his Shinobi career the fact that shar's brother hadn't turned out badly and that like kagami he had hoped for a son as an heir hadn't helped either shagar had begun to idolize me her late mother's friend who had fought for her and taken care of her despite the fact that I had failed to get her away from her father I had kagami to thank for that again she had known the truth and had never blamed me for cutting off communication she was able to see the past through one of her meeku and the future through the other which I had previously believed was not possible according to her understanding the ability was limited it appeared to be random and would trigger on its own giving her brief visions of her future is seen by herself she was able to see past events that happened at the place where she used her other eye which didn't appear to have the same limitations it clarified why her right eye was almost blind her eyes suffered greatly from both abilities and since she was unable to control her glimpses of the future and dared not do so for fear of hastening her decline Into Darkness blindness was inevitable the damage to her left eye on the other hand was entirely self-inflicted during her quest to find out more about me after learning what kagami had done to me it had been the only way she believed she could make herself appear close to me while I should have been angry at her for not getting in touch with me even though it would have made no difference it had been touching to witness the anguish she had endured for me on the contrary it might have made matters worse for us both she had a very strong defense too she had caught a glimpse of this very moment and knew that I would one day break free from the bonds that had been placed around me she had seen the vision of this moment years before which was curious every time it had occurred she had been warned about a situ sitation in which her life was arguably in danger making it an anomaly that gave her a glimpse into the future that was far more expansive than the days of any other Vision she had ever experienced the other premonitions didn't fit with this one the fact that she remembered her eye bleeding uncontrollably after getting the vision and that she fell shortly after suggested that the strain was much higher than all of her prior and subsequent Visions it also strongly suggested that the burden was related to how far into the future the event she had seen was located but it hadn't saved her life not from me and anyway I didn't intend to kill her or cause her any long-term harm because she met all the requirements I was looking for in members to rebuild the clan with I couldn't say the same about the other members of my clan even though it didn't appear to have saved her life at first it did after giving it some thought and considering her emotional state at the time of the vision and what she was about to do knowing that I would free myself would be enough to stop her from acting frantically to save me and she had been given all the information she needed to do so I could only conclude that she would have failed because the odds were stacked against her this clearly indicated that the Snippets of information she was shown weren't really that random and that she had more than just the ability to see the moments before death's icy Embrace as though her Visions had a mind of Their Own It was influencing her choices to lead her down a path that wouldn't kill I finally said do you even have to ask as seiko's daughter there will always be a place at my side for you the girl responded with a shy Smile as she was still looking up at me waiting for me to make a decision sleep I said cuing her face face and jabbing her with a senbon concealed in my hand we will talk once you awaken she passed out before she could respond and sagged against my hand as I had done with the others I placed a paralyzing seal on her and stored her in my kamui Dimension after carefully lowering her to the ground my last surviving enemy had halted his stumbling around by the time I Rose from my crouch on the floor his head was cocked to the side alert to any noise in the room and he was on high alert this was a pitiful display that made me sigh in this case I had at least some optimism about his ability but he also failed to live up to my expectations it was acceptable that he didn't escape the illusion he was in right away but it wasn't acceptable that he was still stuck in it after all this time I gave him the benefit of the doubt that bringer of Darkness was a nasty bit of Jutsu a technique that would prevent the brain from receiving signals from the optic nerve thus making the Sharingan useless furthermore it was not easily dislodged by merely stilling and flaring one's chakra in contrast to the majority of other Jutsu which adhere to the chakra Network like a wet Leaf to the skin instead it worked more like a bracelet encircling your chakra because the bracelet would feel the same amount of force in each Direction a chakra burst that started inside the body and extended outwards rather than blowing it away would simply strain and stretch it outward theoretically it could be destroyed by a single strong enough chakra burst but few had the strength or control of chakra needed for that and even fewer had both the more sophisticated approach was to cut the bracelet off and then blast it away or to grab it with your chakra and practically slip out of it as a last resort the bracelet could be strained with a rhythmic burst until it dissolved but this was timec consuming and worse impractical however it was a technique that any chunin and hire should at least know even less justification was available for IA with our Clan's jinjutsu leanings and obvious advantages in that area he was merely another failure and since there was no Tober to expunge him from our lineage in this day and age it was my responsibility I wanted to see how far he could go in his chosen field first though I canceled the Jutsu and raised my left hand in a tiger seal I had to use a hand seal to get it right on my first attempt because canceling someone else's jinjutsu from a distance was difficult and it was even harder to do so to a high level illusion this was an obvious sign that the eyes I had recently acquired were causing my chakra control to deteriorate it was an issue to be resolved later I waited for my opponent to awaken from his days so we could resume where we left off getting as ready as my dress would low multiple questions were visible on my opponent's face but they were all silenced by my canai which was pointed at his throat then he was on me swatting it out of the air with his palm he was turning on his right foot when I deflected his right fist his left leg collided with my right leg as I moved closer cancelling each other out before it could acquire any significant momentum he tried to get some distance as soon as his leg touched the ground so he could kick again I made sure he couldn't escape because I knew that this specific style of tautu was the most most devastating when it came to using its strong spinning and Flying Kicks in the end we moved together as our limbs were exchanging violent blows I took a step forward every time he took a step back a block halted each attack which was Then followed by another attack and another block for a few seconds it continued in that manner with hundreds and hundreds of attacks being deflected dodged or blocked all of them feudly fizzling we both failed to get past the others defenses and deliver more than a passing blow I was thinking of tearing my dress because we were at a standstill I should have the advantage because my legs would have more range of motion his breathing became more labored with each exchange and I was about to do just that when I noticed a thin Sheen of sweat on his forehead he was obviously struggling to keep up with our rapid fire conversation if his increasingly desperate attacks were any indication he was well aware of this I pondered how a member of my clan who was obviously into taijutsu could be flagging after a brief fight as I slipped under another of his punches and his elbow stopped my blow intended for his ribs it didn't make sense unless he was another scammer who had burned through his stamina to spend the time his muscles needed to use gu's entire taijutsu range for a brief period of time it would easily carry him through every battle when combined with his Sharingan he believed he was better than guy and used them to win spars against him time and time again however that disregarded the fact that a spar had its own set of rules which frequently hindered certain skills such as taking hits while focusing on technique and delivering clean blows which would never be used to their full potential in a spar furthermore if my assessment of guy's character was correct I didn't think he could be persuaded to remove the weights he concealed in his leg warmers he was one of the individuals who damaged our Clan's reputation he was so incompetent that he couldn't even get that right whereas in the past we denigrated members who simply copied the skills of others while savoring their success he was happy to use a subpar copy because he was unable or unwilling to put in the effort necessary to make it on par with the original skill set he had seen after seeing what I had over the years a prisoner in my own house I had come to terms with the fact that my clan members were squandering our gifts and I had given up on the idea that they would improve on anything they had learned the days when our clan aimed for excellence were long gone but this was simply shameful now it wouldn't be long before his speed would noticeably decrease I didn't mean to give him the satisfaction of losing by being outlasted but it would be relatively easy to win the fight decisively from there no he deserved to see it taken down for that show for wasting our name for not working hard enough to make that style really his he had to be crushed beneath my heel to truly understand the foolishness of his ways I changed my approach to achieve that I deliberately blocked one of his blows rather than continuing to deflect his attacks the force behind it was sufficient to temporarily stop my movement which was exactly the moment my enemy had been waiting for without hesitation he took the bait and put the much needed distance between us as expected he took advantage of the available SP space to kick me in the head with a spinning motion on the surface it appeared to be a well executed attack that made use of both the centrifugal force of his half spin in the entire range of his body's strength it was a kick quick sharp and most importantly strong enough to pierce a block with my hands it might even shatter them but if it did it would undoubtedly knock me down I didn't let it connect because I knew it would keep me at Bay and allow follow-up attacks I planned it so that he would be completely committed to his attack and unable to alter its course when his Sharingan showed him what I was going to do I redirected his leg ever so slightly upwards and slipped beneath his kick lifting my elbows over my head a martial artist who had practiced every move in his repertoire a thousand 10,000 or a 100,000 times against different dummies should not have been impacted in the least by this slight deviance from its intended path their bodies knew exactly what muscles they needed to use to compensate when a kick just grazed an opponent and how they needed to react when a kick was slightly of Target those were lessons his body had never learned the fact that he was not wearing any weights on his legs further complicated the situation as he attempted to modify the imitation of what he had seen to fit his body which had a very different Mass distribution than guys I was therefore not surprised when his balance failed before he had completed a half turn around his axis requiring him to deliberately adjust his balance which only just prevented him from collapsing into a heap he lost a significant amount of momentum and speed when he had to change his balance in the middle of the spin this made a joke out of of an attack that was meant to make it nearly impossible for anyone to get close to him between kicks furthermore he was unable to gain more speed and momentum on the second round due to his near fall slipping through the opening this made in his defense between his two attacks was a breeze how someone could have missed such a fatal flaw that should have become apparent in a few dozen serious spars was beyond me he had one leg in the air and his back to me when I was within Arms Reach that made it possible for me to use my legs despite the dress's limitations I kicked him in the ankle sweeping his leg out from under him his entire weight on one leg it was more than enough to appro him even though there was no particular sound of a breaking bone because my dress was too tight to allow me to fully engage my hips in the kick as he shifted in midair attempting to brace himself for his Landing my kicks effects and the momentum from his attempted second kick caused his leg to fly uncontrollably past his hip height twisting his body into something that looked like an ugly piece of art if I had been able to break his leg and thus take away his ability to use his kick my attack would have ended here regretfully I couldn't count on my small trick to work once more I struck his spine with the knuckle of my right middle finger he groaned as he hit the floor a moment later with the intention of flipping himself upright before I could launch my attack he instantly used his arms to propel himself into the air it was a great failure they simply flailed pointlessly through the air rather than getting his legs under his torso the moment his lower limbs touched the ground they gave out without any tension let alone deliberately movement and he fell into a tangle of entangled limbs I watched with delight as my agitated opponent tried to get his legs to work again the sweet fear he exuded during our encounter which accompanied his struggle for his life changed from moment to moment into outright Panic so it took him much longer than I would have imagined to realize what I had done and I could tell the precise moment he did there was an ins spoken request in his eye that gave me a nice chill when his gaze fell upon me once more it wasn't at all what I had hoped to gain from this I wanted a battle a chance to reintegrate into society gradually I had believed that this would help me regain my Edge which I knew would eventually be lost in the absence of real challenges after living the dull life of a trophy wife for the past few years training alone can only help one maintain their Edge for so long it's true that I didn't have high expectations for them but it was still disappointing that they couldn't get even one clean hit on me while I was holding back together consequently I was forced to content myself with the terror I could engender in my adversaries it had been a while since the last person had given me that kind of look I decided to indulge in the bad habit of playing with food which I had learned from my Sensei I carefully maintained the same distance from my wounded prey as I followed him with measured steps when his back struck the wall his brief desperate Escape came to an abrupt halt his eyes grew wide and I shifted when he turned his head to look behind him before he could turn his head back I had him pinned against the wall you have been found wanting I said softly in his ear while jabbing one of my s bonds into his neck it took a few heartbeats for his body to lose Consciousness I sealed his forehead and then put him in my kamui Dimension along with the others before I vanished I also took one final glance around when they returned the patrolling ucha would be handled by my cage bunchin knowing myself one would wait to fall on top of them while the other hung from the ceiling directly above the door while the first would sit beneath a henge at the front desk Naro was all that remained note from the author right I believe I may need to clarify a few points as some of you may have noticed Makoto typically refrains from using profanity so her method of insulting someone is to make fun of them this is basically the reason she believes she can take a 100 members of the U Clan at once in this chapter she is aware that she truly cannot without a doubt this Makoto's power is firmly rooted in the s-rank range with kamui likely pushing it beyond that at least after she earned her Ms she lacks heri and dust Rel is obvious Army killer abilities though unlike manato or onoi the third Suchi KAG I believe I mentioned this but suzano versus 3 is not present in this fic a Jutsu permitting a with an MS or M to wrestle with a beu even for a brief period of time is simply a no beu should always be the ultimate upper end of the power scale to justify their weaponization by the villages in the first place and there are a lot of questions that I won't address here this means that it is difficult to take on groups of people especially esally if they are skilled despite its seeming strength kamui is not huishan because its strength comes from its intangibility with only one eye rather than its teleportation ability which is slower than Hans and cannot be used in conjunction with the intangibility leaving you vulnerable in the second or so it takes to suck you in Additionally the battle between Fu and tun versus obido demonstrated what two skilled Shinobi could do to kamui it took them two exchanges to realize that in order to attack him he needed to become tangible and they needed to concentrate on counterattacking which they accomplished quite successfully and without the Keen perception that a Sharingan offers they even succeeded in landing a blow that would have been lethal had it not been for Obito's detachable arm because they have the advantage of a Sharingan which would have also helped with the timing required to land a hit a halfway competent Uchiha Janan which does exist despite Makoto's views on the subject belittling equals insulting should also be able to figure that out presumably even faster I think you understand where I'm going with this as depicted in the anime obido shouldn't have been able to defeat the in my opinion there is an inherent risk of being attacked from within your blind spots when you are fighting multiple people obido should have lost a straightup fight against a group of competent chunin or Jan larger than a certain size just like Makoto would because fighting a group of people ensures it and despite the sharingan's great abilities it doesn't give you eyes in the back of your head in the end she would either die from Chakra exhaust ction from keeping a susano running to protect her blind spot or be stabbed in the back just like obido should have but she would probably feire better because she isn't a one- trick pony and Jutsu is an extremely powerful art in the right hands that does not imply that I do not believe obido and Itachi could have massacred the entire Clan I do believe that it is possible but not in the manner that the anime portrayed it though not in a direct battle it doesn't imply that obido couldn't succeed on his own picking them off one by one killing them while they slept ambushing them and at most fighting a small group and swiftly eliminating them as Makoto did in this chapter over the course of an entire night in such a situation I believe it is totally feasible given the size of konaha 50 ucha on duty at night might not seem like much the problem is that as some of you may have noticed I firmly believe that the various Clans must have been granted broad rights to self-determination in order for a construct like konaha to succeed the hyuga Caged Bird seal is arguably the best example that the cannon offers because of its very existence a member of the main branch is free to torture and or murder a member of the side branch whenever they so choose since the majority of them are likely Shinobi and under herzen's Authority attacking his Shinobi outside of training should be illegal however this isn't the case and since the seal was in Cannon there is only one plausible explanation the Clans have extensive self-governing rights including the ability to execute members if they so choose assuming that regular troops and bamboo are in charge of defending the Village from external threats I believe the numbers are about right in my opinion those governing rights must include the clan policing and protecting their own Clan compounds which should comprise the majority of the village the uchi's sole responsibility was to protect and Patrol the non-clan compounds and some of the vital infrastructure in contrast to what Makoto claims in the chapter fugaku's nickname was wicked eye before someone wrote a review suggesting a certain jinjutsu Talent telling me that her evaluation of him was incorrect let me State this he is a novice in comparison to Makoto but he is still very skilled in Jutsu within the current Uchiha Clan therefore you are welcome to take Makoto's criticism of the girls week jinjutsu as a veiled compliment on her ability I had to admit that Naruto's living Arrangement which required him to live in a two- room apartment on the Eastern edge of the civilian District made it much easier for me to find him even though I didn't like it to locate him I simply needed to search for a single U member sitting at top one of the deserted warehouses it took me less than a minute to succeed using kamui to Peak through the dimensions symbolic Keyhole the Ambu agent used a basic Jutsu to change the roof slope so that his crouching body would fit comfortably beneath the false roof without even bothering to hide I couldn't ignore the sheer hubris required to alter the immediate area of his charge's home which Naruto should know like the back of his hand and think he would go unnoticed even if I were willing to Pardon him for using a jinjutsu that any third-year Academy student should be able to detect he should be expelled from U right away for this degree of complacency then again having your charge kidnapped right in front of you might make that happen anyhow he would not be enjoying the next few days and I might have cared if I were a more amiable person I couldn't afford to alienate The Village so he should consider himself fortunate that he was wearing a konaha headband for the time being I appeared on Naruto's apartment roof behind the rain barrel out of the ambo agent line of sight I bent my knee and lifted one of my zor then grabbed a tiny PEB that was embedded in the sole and took it out after weaving a sophisticated sound triggered jinjutsu on the pebble in just a single instant I threw it in a broad Arc over the rain barrel at the location where the amboo was concealed I strained to hear the pebble touch down and then skitter to a stop I only then emerged from my Hiding Place and gave him a quick glance to make sure my jinjutsu had taken effect the jutu would prevent him from seeing anything unusual for the next few minutes the best part of the JSU was that it actually forced the target's mind to override the re ity of what he perceived rather than simply making him ignore something as much less complex Jutsu could do by changing the target's Behavior his Recollections of that incident were therefore in line with his experience of it which prevented mind readers and those who were impacted from later remembering the actual events if I knew one thing it was that this Ambu member would be strapped to a table in tea and I with half a dozen yamaga searching through his memories for the person responsible as soon as Naruto's absence was discovered the aim of course was not to conceal the identity of his kidnapper instead I had to eventually face the truth as part of my plans though they would be hardpressed to deny a connection between those two events out of hand I needed to buy some time and shift the attention away from the abrupt disappearance of the uch clan and toward Naruto's retrieval however my strategy was predicated on the idea that this would be sufficient to prevent the Uchiha Clan from being branded traders to the village and we would all be given orders to be killed on site until I was done and could show the village of fed a comple I gently landed on Naruto's Terrace below right in front of his glass door after doing a one-handed cartwheel on the ledge of his roof despite my best efforts to keep my legs together for the majority of the cartwheel I took a moment to straighten out my kimono and check my cheeks for any tears the fabric might have sustained I smelled pepper just as I was about to grab the door handle I instantly froze and my thoughts returned to the discussion I had had with my brother a few hours prior during which he had called my Naruto a trap genius I almost ran into one of them just now and it was difficult to argue that he had a point I had not anticipated any problems at this point in the mission but I had to acknowledge that I might be a little rusty it was far from simple however to set up a trap that almost escaped my notice until it was too late the fact that I only became aware of it because he had used a component that smelled strongly inside a defective package says a lot about him I briefly considered simply using kamui to make myself intangible and avoiding his traps by entering through the glass door but where would the fun be in that I therefore took my t time and carefully examined the door a faint trail of a powdery material on the upper door frame and two tiny bulges near to one another one above the door handle and the other at the same height on the frame of the inward opening door were the two most noticeable features my first thought was to put what I thought was a mixture of pepper powder on top of the door frame rain was expected to fall on anyone who stepped through the doorway while the Bulge in the frame had to be a hook to direct the same rope through I also suspected that the Bulge on the door was caused by something akin to an anchor to tie a rope around this usually meant that the Rope would be wound around the trigger of a crossbow that was cocked or something waiting to be pulled taut the Trap wasn't too bad easy to use but still efficient not in terms of killing an intruder Pepper powder was only effective as an irritant if you let yourself get covered in it a runny nose and watery eyes weren't the best way to permanently stop someone furthermore a typical chunin shouldn't have any trouble avoiding the bould or canai that was released from a device but I didn't think that was the goal at all it was much more likely to have been intended as an alarm system in my opinion it was rarely quiet when a bolt or canai was blocked or struck glass or wood and pepper powder had the unsavory ability to make people sneeze even though the door is left unaltered with neither the Rope being pulled nor the pepper powder falling on the Intruder the apparent method of avoiding those traps just breaking the glass door would ultimately serve the trap's Purpose By waking a sleeping Naruto he must have set some sort of container on the door which was probably leaning against the frame based on the dispersion pattern of the thin trail of pepper powder I could see on the door frame I was sure that by carefully opening the door I could find the precise location of the container and fasten a chalkra string to it to secure it in its contents the only thing left to disable was the rope and its attachment squeezing a canai between the door's tiny cracks should allow me to cut the rope before it became taut and could activate the mechanism I reasoned these kinds of traps needed a tiny margin of error to prevent unintentional tripping due to ther expansion or the odd vibration it hardly took a second to pick the lock with a senbon then I slowly opened the door just enough to see the precise location of the pepper powder the cylindrical container leaning against the door frame was exactly what was expected I congratulated my Naruto in my head for selecting the container because it would be more difficult to keep it in place using commonplace methods due to its round surface area a chakra string however is different I could forgive this oversight given that it was regarded as a relatively obscure and largely effective art form outside of sunna as I had anticipated I turned my focus back to the door handle and the cord I discovered there containing the fear of the container spilling its contents over me I had a short chakra scalpel at the end of my finger but I didn't have a canai so I was about to cut it when I saw a nearly transparent ninja wire running along the cord without a Sharingan and the enhanced Vision that accompanied it even when not in use I could have missed it I watched the cord and wire closely curious and closed the door a little more the cord cord relaxed in reaction but the wire remained taunt clever something was dangling from The Wire this implied that the wire mechanism would spring if I were to cut it along with the cord disarming the mechanism that was attached to the cord if I had to guess based on what I had seen so far it might be something as basic as a bell hanging in midair from which should the wire be severed whatever was hanging would fall to the ground probably with a loud clatter knowing exactly what I was up against I cut the cord and then opened the door slowly until the container of pepper powder above could be safely pushed through the crack and into my right hand the door was now open enough that I could reach inside with my left hand and wrap it around the wire without discomfort I also cut it I managed to open the door at last holding the wire in place and slipped inside with a few small exceptions my presumptions regarding nut's traps turned out to be mostly accurate rather than a crossbow the wire connected to a baby rattle and the cord to a tot slingshot that was fastened to a trigger mechanism I lowered the baby rattle which was painted with towed motifs to the floor while my eyes narrowed jariah had just confirmed that it had been the right choice to keep him out of the Uzumaki compound and he had completely failed my already low expectations of him if that was all he could bring himself to do for his godson I let my eyes wander partly to get a full picture of his living situation partly to avoid spotting another set of traps it would be an understatement to say that I didn't like what I saw given that it was Naruto I was even more insense that anyone would permit a child to live in in such a manner there was nothing but trash in the supposed living room since it was what it was there was no way to sugarcoat it the floor was covered in filthy laundry that had been thrown out carelessly dishes were piled high on the little table in the center of the room food scraps still sticking to them in varying degrees of staleness numerous insects were scuttling around because the spoiled food was not only on the table it resulted from K's hidden sense of chaos and the glaring lack of common sense that only a child could possess it was clear that someone hadn't taught him that it wasn't exactly good for his health to have perishable items lying around the vile stench of all of this which was far worse than any Battlefield smeared with blood and human waste could ever hope to be only attacked my nostrils after I took a cautious step into that mess as I crushed a cockroach under my Tory it became painfully clear that everything my brother had said whether directly or indirectly was accurate although I was aware that he had had a difficult time I never thought he would have been so completely abandoned this was far more than the conditioning he described as an attempt what was the Hokage contemplating I interrupted my thought since it wouldn't matter after today I wouldn't let it there was no use in thinking about that question as I stepped into the bedroom nothing much changed the only difference was that rather than old food the floor was primarily covered in three large mounds of clothes one in each corner of the room that wasn't occupied by a bed my Naruto was sprawled upon it his blanket only covering one leg inside his partially undone kimono his left hand lay on his stomach his resemblance to Kina aside from the color of his hair was evident when he was seen in this state soundly asleep with his frizzly hair buried in his pillow and a thin trail of saliva running down the corner of his mouth unfortunately I didn't have the time to watch him sleep like this for hours even though I would have loved to my instincts started yelling at me just as I was about to cross the short distance between narut and me I didn't hesitate for a second and instantly became intangible using kamui after escaping the grip of death on multiple occasions by listening to them a lightning clad hand appeared between The Valleys of my breast followed by the remainder of a body indicating that I had taken action before it was too late without providing any real resistance The Unbroken momentum swept my as salent directly toward the wall adjacent to Naruto's sleeping form it just broke when it came into contact with the Jutsu that my as salent was holding leaving a massive hole in his wake a heartbeat later I heard the impact coming from behind me mingled with what sounded like hundred of chirping birds in the middle of the dust and debris my as salent turned his body so that his head which was concealed by an animal mask faced my direction he skidded to a stop and hit the ground on all fours making little trenches with his limbs I reappeared right behind him so by the time he looked back up from the Quick Glance he took to make sure he hadn't messed up his Landing I was gone from nutk room this gave him just enough time to tense his neck muscles in alarm before I stabbed them with the S bond between my fingers to my surprise he began to push himself off the ground and away from me before the poison started to take effect in the middle of his movement and his legs failed him at that moment he fell to the ground his mask coming off as his face struck the ground hitaki Kakashi was lying motionless staring up at me with a Sharingan in his left eye I'm glad I happened to run into him here because it saved me the trouble of having to find him later I knelt beside him and tilted my head I am glad you decided to return my Clan's property of your own valtion my words caused Aus his eyes to widen but he was powerless to stop my hand from falling on his left eye and removing it from its socket I paused to carefully inspect the eye for any damage that might have resulted from its extended residence in a body that was not U I didn't summon my suzano and add it to my collection until I was happy with its Immaculate State the ability to open a portal of different sizes at range surprised me even though I had anticipated that Obito's left eye would be somehow linked to his right ey's kamui Dimension I tagged him with a paralyzing seal and told him but it by no means redeems your action concerning your treatment of Naruto and there will be a price to pay for your neglect after Kakashi Was Defeated I looked around at the damage he had just caused after giving it a quick glance I saw that my plan to sneak away with Naruto and keep his absence a secret for a while had just been foiled I also suspected that he might have left some distinctive traces from using that signature Jutsu I simply could not afford to be suspected of any involvement in Kakashi's abrupt disappearance since I would eventually have to admit to Naruto's kidnapping that attacking a member of your own Clan was very different from attacking someone wearing a konaha headband from outside your clan consequently I was faced with the Dilemma of how to handle him my first instinct was to kill him and let his body rot here but I couldn't do that I had no intention whatsoever of giving Obito's eye back to him so changing his memories was also out of the question therefore suspicion would still be raised against me regardless of the memory I chose to ingrain in his mind to account for the loss of his eye in addition it might alert others to the fact that someone was able to manipulate memories I also had a persistent question that I was itching to know the answer to why didn't he look after Naro I would rather be able to take my sweet time searching through all of his memories in order to find the answer which was best done in the relative quiet of the Uzumaki compound away from prying eyes furthermore it was likely that I would not like what I discovered in his memories and would have to get rid of Kakashi as a result the details were only important in deciding how much suffering I would inflict on him before extending the mercy of death and there was Naruto to think about since Nar had been observing the events through the wall hole ever since my suzano vanished it was a Justified precaution and I would prefer not to have to change his memories for a few more years he shouldn't have to face death in the realities of Shinobi life if he had K's propensity to spill Secrets the less he knew the better in hindsight it was a wonder that her gentu status had remained a secret before I activated kamui to make him vanish I took an explosive note out of Kakashi's tool pouch my introduction would have to wait it appeared then I got to my feet and met nut's eyes directly it only took the casting of a basic jinjutsu to put him to sleep a second later I was beside him catching his body as it slid to the ground I gently raised Naruto Into My Embrace I gave her the explosive note and made another cage bunion she would make sure to remove any evidence that we had ever been here after waiting here until my other clones were successful in bringing in the remaining members of the U police force nothing less than blowing up the hubel they forced Naruto to live in would be adequate in light of Kakashi's actions that would notify the village authorities of the Uchiha police Force's disappearance when none of them arrived to look into it even though the destruction of Civilian property was within their purview I didn't linger because it would undoubtedly reduce the amount of time I had available after giving my clone a final nod kamui engulfed Naruto and me we resurfaced in the ritual chamber located deep within the Uzumaki compound I gently placed Naruto down close to the first area of the floor that was covered in uch prisoners I was delighted to find that two of my clones were already there and had started getting the inmates in the room ready which of my clones they were was hinted at by the young children and the few elderly people at their feet I chose to use the waiting time while one of my clones was still in the middle of the room drawing the life transfer seal I started by taking a soldier pill which was definitely not the last one I would need to take tonight my body was already feeling the effects of the few minor judu I had used up to this point and the prolonged chakra expenditure of half a dozen cage bunin I was also suffering from age and relative inaction over the past few years however I might be able to achieve previously Unthinkable Heights if the seals I took from K's room functioned as promised I proceeded to secure Kakashi's limbs while a warm feeling moved through my body as the soldier pill took effect regardless of the results of probing his mind I couldn't kill him just yet unlike my Kinsmen I had to give his body time to eliminate the poison to start with even though it was highly unlikely that anyone could link the mixture to me I would still be considered a suspect because I was one of The Village's leading authorities on poisoning this was particularly true because what I did today would serve as a reminder to the village that I was more than just a historical footnote and that I was still very much alive not withstanding all of his shortcomings Kakashi was a resourceful Shinobi and it would be foolish to rely on a paralyzing seal to keep a manado namazi student immobilized in addition there was the issue of his body's Decay to take into account it would enable the precise determination of his time of death and regrettably there were methods to ascertain whether a body had been placed in stasis that's precisely why I couldn't trust that sealing his body would hide when he died I was getting ahead of myself though in order to assess Kakashi's level of guilt I first needed to see his memories I flipped Kakashi onto his back bound his hands and feet and pride opened the last of his eye I learned about some really fascinating incidents from Kakashi's Recollections two things caught my attention out of all I learned at danzo's request Kakashi joined rot and later participated in the third hokage's assassination attempt in that case what was surprising was not the attempt but that he and the person who had issued the order had escaped punishment when both should have been put to death they weren't since Kakashi had a last minute change of heart and expressed some regret if there was ever a clear sign that the third sentimental side was a weakness this was the latest example of how enemies had been able to take advantage of it finding out that danzo had a okaton user among his ranks during the kiui attack however made my blood boil he had the ability to defend the village to defend kashina and manato but he decided not to use it Naruto had been raised as an orphan because of him it was an unforgivable sin and I would see to it that he paid the full price even though I would have loved nothing more than to storm into his lair and figure out how to reinterpret the term torture to death with him as the test subject a role he had more than willingly accepted through his actions I was unable to do so the time wasn't right and it wouldn't be for a while the conclusion was that we had to depend on konaha to keep us safe konaha was already weak and I couldn't afford to make it even weaker if not Naruto could be in danger of being attacked by the other large villages no in order to protect Naruto I had to wait and regain my strength by elevating their eyes to a higher level I was able to improve the quality of the members I thought might be useful for Nar in the future for years I had been curious about the specifics of the man geio Sharingan what was needed to acquire a particular ability was not well understood I hadn't found a satisfactory answer to the question not even after obtaining an eternal mangio Sharingan and reading the stone slab it wasn't helped by the lack of thorough records probably due to concerns that they might be stolen and fall into the hands of our adversaries if they had bothered at all my ancestors had been satisfied to record the names of those who had succeeded in opening their eyes few people had accomplished it over the years MAA was by no means the first to do so despite what many people think it really shouldn't have been shocking because it was impossible to fight Wars against other clans all the time without someone occasionally experiencing despair to wake them up I now realize that this is a transcription that isn't accurate similar to maera however those who had were notorious and despised even by the UA Clan many of them had perished at the hands of their relatives either as a result of their crimes or their lost sanity which had dimmed with their eyes or both they could easily be erased from recorded memory and then forgotten which was different from MAA who had unquestionably made a name for himself by founding konaha with hashirama and Mido unless of course you were the clan heads daughter and knew where to look my goal was to determine whether there was a set of underlying rules that would enable me to directly or indirectly affect the ability that a person would acquire upon Awakening their eyes was it blood personality or something else that made the difference the final piece I needed to put together a cohesive Theory came from Kakashi's recollections to be precise it was based on two events it was evident from Obito's apparent death which Kakashi saw that my cousin had not yet gained access to kamui when his body was crushed it was simply Unthinkable for any Shinobi to risk suffering such bodily harm if it could be prevented and there was no question about it Kakashi saw enough to confirm that his body was a mangled mess Ren's death was the second incident it was the only other incident that could provide the necessary degree of Despair to propel a Sharingan to its next level aside from what happened to OB it was just a guess but considering the circumstances in which they found themselves when Ren threw herself in the path of Kakashi's Jutsu obido might also have been there I couldn't really think of a way that Kakashi after piercing her heart with his hand could have survived that encounter in the presence of so many enemies shortly after he had passed out from the shock of what he had done someone must have taken care of them ignoring teleportation this meant that in order for someone to be able to interfere in time they had to be nearby within Kakashi and Ren's line of fight it appeared more like the work of a Savage Beast than a skilled Shinobi especially when I took into account the battlefields condition after he woke up where the entire Kiri platoon had been slaughtered to the last Shinobi their blood and intestines all over the place there was a marked lack of the discipline and accuracy that accompanied skill at murder rather I detected a hint of unbridled anger the absence of variation or discernable patterns pointed to a single offender who was intoxicated with power enough to easily subdue his opponents it was just what I would have expected to happen after cousin obido exacted brutal revenge on those who killed his beloved Ren I came to the conclusion that the following were the prerequisites for becoming a mangio Sharingan with kamui's ability in order for both wearers to experience the death of a loved one simultaneously one set of Sharingan eyes had to be spatially separated it was possible that one of them had to kill the person as a result my running Theory basically stated that the skills acquired by obtaining a mangio Sharingan were contingent only on the particular circumstance that triggered them even though I would have loved to see my father's and brother's Memories the risk of being influenced by them was too great and the small sample size was inconclusive I had a whole clan of sharing and bearing Shinobi at my feet so it was time to put that theory into practice I needed one last tool and that was the only thing I needed to start seriously fortunately I knew just where to find it I arrived at my destination where fugaku's bound body lay on the ground after a brief walk over the paralyzed bodies I paused relishing the fact that I was staring down at him the last thing he would ever see leaning down beside him I removed his eyes from his terrified skull condemning him to live out his final hours in complete darkness there was no more appropriate penalty in my opinion for someone who worshiped our eyes one of its many limbs reached for fugaku's eyes which were in the palm of my hand and inserted them into one of the innumerable empty I slots it had throughout its body summoning forth my susano like in the earlier cases the effects were were instantaneous and I automatically picked up the fundamentals of his mangio Sharingan skills sukui and amam and nanushi I simply acknowledge the latter being added to my repertoire because I didn't care for it at the time however suku yomi was just the instrument I required a Jutsu that can trap the target after making eye contact into an illusion of the user's design is strong enough to torture the target for days in a single moment and can cause the recipient to suffer severe psychological harm that puts them in a coma the almost instantaneous speed at which sukui operated made it nearly impossible to avoid its effects making the conventional strategies for jinjutsu combat ineffective it was one of the strongest jinjutsu in the world because of all these characteristics but I didn't care how much harm the Jutsu could do in combat the limitations of the Illusions themselves particularly their ability to be convincing pequ my interest more than anything else because if I could make them indistinguishable from reality I could use them to force my kins chosen ones to endure their own unique experiences of despair I'm hoping this will enable me to activate their mangio Sharingan this would also enable me to test my hypothesis that the same powers are caused by the same trigger conditions conditions that were difficult to meet in the case of kamui's recreation there were plenty of transplants because there was no shortage of Sharingan but I only had one pair of people that I could be fairly certain shared the same deep-seated affections unfortunately despite Ren's denial of them those feelings were not romantic in the sense that I had assumed they would be when it came to obido and Kakashi feelings for her the Twins akane and aoi were identical their mother had to raise the twins alone after their father had committed suicide a few years prior soon after the Twins were born he was among the few people we lost outside of War which required a unique kind of incapacity fortunately none of the undesirable characteristics of their father were inherited by the children before retiring after her husband's death their mother had been a reasonably skilled tobetsu Janan they might end up with the same eyes if they create an illusion reenactment of the incident that led to Obito and Kakashi obtaining kamui since she was the only person with whom the four-year-old girls had any kind of close relationship in the worst situation I would have to have them reenact the Illusion in real life if it didn't work even though it would be a waste of a perfectly healthy body it would ultimately be worthwhile one of my clones had stolen the two girls from their beds and left them on the floor which I discovered aane was still holding her stuffed cat to her chest while she slept from jinjutsu since I last saw them they both had the same appearance their uiha black hair was styled in mirrored asymmetrical lobs and a bang ran along their cheeks to make it easier for anyone who wasn't their mother to distinguish them I dropped to my knees and pushed a con's bang aside so I could get a clearer better look at her right eye I removed her eye cut the optic nerve and opened her eyelids with my left hand after that I went to AO and removed her right eye once more before starting the difficult and drawn out procedure of implanting the eye in my hand every every single strand of the optic nerves in the eye had to be carefully reconnected to its corresponding counterpart this was a difficult task because the eye's abilities could be severely damaged by a single error it was the first time I had truly applied the medical knowledge I had learned on my own a few weeks prior to aum's due date I had begun to experiment with it since then I had stepped up my efforts because of the scar this had left on me after 30 minutes I completed the procedure once more and then implanted all his right eye into a cone before a doctor would permit someone to use a transplanted eye it would typically take at least a week even with irion and Jutsu the nerve strings were raw and brittle until they had time to heal completely any use before that time could interfere with the healing process and raise the risk of infection the anti- ejection medications that transplant recipients had to take for the rest of their lives did nothing to change this fact since they were identical twins the medication was completely unnecessary in their case which is another reason I decided to have the procedure done on them even though they were obviously very young they may need to watch over their sister depending on how this experiment turns out and the skills each eye of the mangio Sharingan develops my theory was based on observations about one pair of Sharingan split between two people not two pairs as was the case with them even if it ended up being accurate whatever the result of my experiment I would prefer not to subject them to drugs that would impair their immune systems which could undoubtedly affect their General Health and stamina among other things and keep them from eventually reaching their full combat potential they would still have two injured eyes though and they shouldn't be strained for the foreseeable future to avoid harming them the ideal solution to this issue was to raid kash's room a solution that as I was informed by the distinctive sound of a cage bunin dispelling in the accompanying memories was prepared for use because the drawing of the ceiling array was complete I got up and walked to the middle of the room each hand reaching around the twin's tiny hips and lifting them off the floor while the final clone of me in the room unceremoniously threw down fugaku into the Circle I positioned a cone inside the ceiling arrays recipient Circle while my clone went for the seals control array I stepped back staying well outside the Seal's boundaries and clinging to AI she channeled some chakra into it through her feet to activate the seal which was situated between the two circular transfer end points from fugaku's side to the twin the ceiling array on the ground was being penetrated by what appeared to be a yellow ethereal substance as the array came to life it was strikingly similar to blood flowing through a vein the distinction was that this one carried the life force from one side to the other rather than providing oxygen to maintain a body the effects became noticeable after only a few seconds of the seal operating at a low setting I eagerly awaited the slow motion transformation of fugaku's robust and healthy body into a weaker one as the life was literally sucked out of him his hair turned white and the few wrinkles on his face grew into deep gouges that littered his face he looked less and less like a grape and more like a raisin the effects were less noticeable on the the opposite side all I could see from Where I Stood was that akane's complexion had become more and more healthy it appeared that the seal was functioning as promised but I would have to wait until this was over before I could examine the twin in detail to say more I returned my focus to fugaku because I didn't want to miss a second of his death in the end he didn't last long and I would have been annoyed at how quickly it went by if it weren't for my Sharingan committing every gory detail to memory this would have prevented me from having the opportunity to fully enjoy the experience the Dead husk that had once been the man I was forced to marry was visited by my clone who sealed it away it was swapped out for a female about fugaku's age and the Clone surgically removed her eyes I replaced aane with her sister in the interim and we began the procedure a new as with fugaku and the numerous others who would follow him into death we had a second body a few moments later that was likewise sealed away and needed to be disposed of later although I couldn't give a damn about the Clan's custom of burning our dead I would probably use fire if necessary however the sense of poetic justice it evoked was something else entirely in many ways it seemed appropriate to end my father's Legacy by burning the old and dilapidated and constructing something new nourished by the fertile ground created by the ash of their bones I crouched beside the Twins and assessed their health in addition to confirming that their implanted eyes were fully integrated and operational the diagnostic scan of their bodies revealed additional alterations they may appear insignificant at first increased bone hardness red blood cell and muscle fiber density and better blood circulation throughout their bodies those changes were minor for the time being made possible by their bodies burning through their reserves depending on how much food they were eating at the time I could only assume that those changes wouldn't be finished for a few more weeks it was really amazing when these effects were observed it became evident that the longer life expectancy was merely a consequence of the recipient's overall physical health improving since those adjustments would ultimately help them increase their endurance speed and chakra their overall combat power would surely reflect this it exceeded my expectations and made me wish for the first time in my life that my clan had more members and more bodies to spare my thoughts were cut short when one of my clones entered the room through kamui dropped a scroll with the assets of the homes that had been raided on the floor and then vanished right away my last clone to successfully return from Gathering clan members from their homes was this one the only ones who hadn't finished their assignments were those in the U police station and the one I left behind to blow up Naruto's living quarters even though the Twins were unconscious their eyelids would remain open for the next few minutes if they were stimulated with a small amount of chakra after completing the last phase of my preparations I just needed to determine whether sukui was capable of handling the situation crafting the illusion was greatly aided by my extensive experience with jinjutsu and memory manipulation the illusion began with a brief battle against a quicker opponent who used a flurry of innumerable sbon the Sharingan was awakened in both of them by projectiles that were infamously difficult to see which put strain on their eyes and put them under emotional stress because their sibling was there and needed protection if you didn't care about the child's welfare creating a scenario to awaken the Sharingan was easy enough back in the days of Clans parents would frequently press the issue many of the Clan's teaching manuals on the subject were hidden away with differing degrees of success each technique apparently attempted to surpass the others in terms of the cruelty that could be inflicted on the kids I was worried about the illusion's second component I largely preserved the information that Kakashi could recall from the interaction I simply substituted the twin's mother for Ren before inserting both of them into the delusion I took care to make sure they experienced the events simultaneously albeit from distinct perspectives ooi her sister watched from a distance as a Kane unintentionally killed her mother with a canai the entire process took no time at all it was already over when I cast sukui with both twins eyes moving toward mangio Sharingan State all four had the same appearance as Obito's eyes which had a pin wheel pattern both of their bodies were nearly exhausted from the activation and the ensuing progress which also severely depleted their chakra before they had been strengthened by fugaku's life force it was hard to imagine how they would have fared the other younger girls weren't looking good but that was something to think about later right now I was more curious to find out more about their eyes my theory was validated when I dug into their memories and listened to the precise moment their eyes Advanced whispering to their subconscious what they capable of furthermore it became clear from their eyes which not only had Obito's ability but also the same distinctive pin wheel pattern that the two things were correlated and only dependent on the triggering circumstances this made it possible for someone who knew all the possible combinations to look at the eyes and know exactly what they were looking at unless that glance proved to be a fatal error of course since their pattern was a straightforward combination of the two individual meekio Sharingan patterns that made it up even Eternal mangio Sharingan would be subject to this phenomenon another intriguing fact I learned from this was that each twin only displayed one individual ability aane received both the implanted right eye and the ranged kamui attack in her original left eye her sister had both the implanted right eye and the intangibility Touch version of kamui in her original left eye but neither was able to produce a susano which I thought was only possible with eyes that belong together the twins needed their original eyes back to support or refute that theory which should help me better understand our lineage it hardly took me a minute to carefully remove and retransplant them each of the twins consequently ended up with one eye that was unfit for use once more fortunately my clone and I both knew how to solve that problem she correctly guessed what I was planning and had prepared two more of my male relatives in anticipation of my needs their eyes and the life force they could provide to fortify those deserving were the only things any of them could do in the uch clan I imagined subordinate to my Naruto I would deprived them of both until they had nothing left I triggered the ceiling array after my clone had inserted the first body Without Eyes the donor's shriveling to a lifeless Husk in a matter of moments was the exact same effect that fugaku and the woman had previously experienced when compared to the first time the twins reactions were minimal although their bodies clearly recovered from what I had done to them their complexion did not change right away this time there had to be a limit to how much this seal could benefit a recipient who was already in excellent physical condition so it wasn't surprising I visited both of them and performed a second examination of their bodies after the array shut down due to the donor's passing it turned out that getting a second dose of Life Force increased most body functions even more building on the changes from the first this demonstrated the cumulative nature the ceiling effect regretfully I was unable to determine how the ritual affected the twins longevity in the best scenario it might have extended the donor's lifespan as promised or it might have added 10 20 30 or even more years to their lives it was unlikely that I would ever have the chance to find out for sure because in addition to the fact that I would have to outlive them given the risk of our line of work it was unrealistic to expect either of us to die violently at some point since I would have killed them all anyhow the only thing I could say with any degree of certainty was that it most certainly wouldn't shorten it and that it gave them an advantage which was more than enough compensation for a resource that I would have otherwise wasted after answering that query I returned my focus to the Twins and delved into their Memories One once more in search of another whisper even more so than whenever a mangio Sharingan is added to my collection it was buried deeper and quieter than when their eyes had first Advanced so it took me some time to find it but it was definitely there my prediction was confirmed once more and each twin now possessed a pair of mangio Sharingan that could use kamui Jutsu and conjure suzano which is a prerequisite for obtaining an eternal mangio Sharingan no matter how strong kamui was having eyes that would eventually go dark wasn't worth it the Dilemma delay in what to do next even though there were many sharing and wielding people around me whose eyes could be directed toward that goal I was hesitant to use someone else's mangio Sharingan to advance Theirs to Eternal mangio Sharingan I was being stopped by something since I had no time constraints the issue wasn't how long it would take me to accomplish it at best it was a soft one not a hard one because it would be politically damaging for me to deny my actions and it would complicate future talks regarding the clan there was no rational Reason Not to do it aside from the possibility that someone might Escape either by using a power that their eyes might Advance or by accident during one of the breaks I would have to take to do so for the more than 500 clan members I just had a gut instinct no it went beyond that we had been connected ever since I had implanted nut's eyes into my suzano it was dim and I doubted I could have detected it at all to start with without the other eyes to compare it to nevertheless it made sense that there would be some sort of connection a pair of Sharingan remained linked to one another despite their spatial separation as demonstrated by Obito's case therefore it made sense that all of his eyes were connected because his regeneration ensured that he wouldn't be restricted to using just one pair of eyes for the rest of his life he was unique and so were his eyes from the moment I had first seen them I had known that it was difficult to imagine what they would be like if they ever evolved because the raw power they had emanated had been greater than even my late father's Eternal mangio Sharingan I was therefore more than sure that they would be more than enough to keep the twins light alive even if it meant that their eyes would not acquire any new skills and that the five Jutsu that could be used would only be reduced to the three that they currently possess however there were three very strong Jutsu if it weren't for me the majority if not all of them would never have unlocked them and maybe something would come of this I had to acknowledge that there was little chance that the twins would gain anything from this in the future other than avoiding blindness but narut was not in the same boat after all there were some indisputable parallels to K triggering condition in the end if restricting all of their eyes to only three maneko sharing in abilities rather than the five that could be possible meant that Naruto would somehow benefit from this I would always think it was a price worth paying and I would gladly do so a thousand times over having made up my mind I went to where narut was sleeping with the aid of my clone I started the arduous task of harvesting his eyes after fortifying myself one of his eyes had completely recovered by the time I had gathered both and given them to my clone so I was able to remove the other pair without any downtime for fear that I wouldn't have the heart to do this repeatedly until all of the chosen were seated with his eyes I didn't stay by his side for very long and only let myself touch his cheek for a brief moment using our individual bounties my clone and I went back to support the twins I used amam and aonan on both twins carefully prying open one eye with my index finger and the other with my middle finger their eyes instantly turned milky and a shadowy image of the mangio Sharingan pin wheel from which the Jutsu originated was superimposed on their pupil demonstrating its use for everyone to see in contrast to Koto am masak Kami the Jutsu instead suppressed the majority of the target's conscious mind making them into nothing more than puppets whose strings the Jutsu user control they were compelled to follow all instructions when it came to combat applications it truly excelled the ability to take control of an opponent's body with a single glance was no laughing matter dispelling the Jutsu was possible but it was not as simple as it seemed after all there was a big difference between destroying an enemy's chakra and a willing alleys particularly if the enemy was constantly throwing Jutsu at U and had access to almost all of their abilities the danger was increased by the hijackers further disregard for their own bodies since no one with access to the Jutsu or the ability to awaken it would be in a position to threaten Naruto Again by the end of the day the fact that it was most likely this Jutsu that was ultimately responsible for the Kyu attack was only of academic interest at this point at least it seemed that way since MAA had been dead for decades and I had now added the eyes of two of the three known Jutsu users to my collection there was some residual skepticism though since his other eye could only use kamui I had only been able to extract one functional eye from cousin obido with the other eye closed from what I believed to be the use of isagi this eye had to be the one that cast amam nanushi on the kiui it didn't stop me from implanting it in my suzano in the hopes of getting something out of it but that hadn't happened yet and I doubted that would ever change after almost 8 years of nothing however since Kakashi had received Obito's other eye as a gift it raised the question of where obido obtained his second eye and what had become of its counterpart unfortunately it kept me from discovering who owned it in the first place if he had to use that Jutsu to sacrifice what must have been a mangio Sharingan at the very least and still lost manado must have really taken a toll on him the only other wielder I was aware of fugaku was no longer a problem though using my body control I made them call forth the initial stage of their susano and instructed the chakra construct to place Naruto's eyes into each of their vacant eye sockets Their little bodies trembled uncontrollably and conked out when I lost control of them but the entire process hardly took a minute I was able to recognize the signs of acute chakra exhaustion without even looking at them without wasting any time my clone went to prepare a few more bodies to alleviate their suffering but I just stood there mentally reliving the precise moment they arrived at the Eternal mangio Sharingan what should have happened was that I caught a glimpse of their eyes I knew from years of studying old dusty Scrolls that when two maneko Sharingan were joined to form an eternal mangio Sharingan their individual patterns blended into a single one indicating their development the Sharingan Tomo changed into multiplying into six then three of them spinning until they covered the three original arms and became one but they didn't discuss the three pin Wheels if I had given one of the twins eyes to the other to create one pair of Eternal mangio Sharingan I would have expected to see a six armed pin wheel Sharingan but that is not what happened and even if it had it wouldn't have explained the subsequent merger before I started my investigation I anxiously awaited the conclusion of another life force transfer into a in a Kane's turn I almost missed it as I delved into their minds the only thing that made me notice the subtle differences in The Whispers of their eyes was the image of what the Eternal mangio would have been if the twins eyes had been fused together they mirrored each other's skills but did not reveal any new Jutsu they were able to form this meant that both of their eyes could use both kamui Jutsu with nut's eyes producing the exact same effect as if I had fused the twins eyes into one it didn't seem like such a bad idea to use his eyes of course having only three Jutsu instead of five still limited the wielder options nevertheless the trade-off appeared to be a wanly undervalued idea given that losing an eye which was a real possibility in a battle would reduce 5 to2 and 3 to2 two cylindrical objects materialized as I reached for were the Scrolls one had taken from kash's study and opened their contents I took the first one and smeared my blood on it I approached Naruto with the object in hand I was able to imprint him as the second user of the tool that was supposed to apply the seal to our eyes using a few drops of blood from a tiny cut on his thumb to make sure that only his seed would ever germinate in the womb of any ucha woman I applied the remaining blood to the stamp that held the seal I used both seals as final touches to protect our lineage for the twins I used used the first tool while looking up and applied it to both of my eyes after doing one last check of their bodies which gave me no reason to be concerned about the seals I then applied the second seal over my navl after Unwound my kimono to gain access to my stomach this time in contrast to the seal to my eye I felt something a warming Sensation that became more disagreeable as it spread throughout my lower body the pain made me curl up in the fetal position as if my insides had been set on fire even though my virginity was technically intact I I was not untainted and I kept berading myself for my complete foolishness for ignoring the fact that I had given birth naturally a seal from a patriarcal culture that viewed women as inferior to cattle would object to that the heat in my gut vanished as abruptly as it had started and the pain stopped just before it became too much to bear and I began to fear death I straightened up and reluctantly admitted that I had been fortunate this error might have cost Naruto and me everything I had to perform better because I was the only thing between him and the village he and his parents owed me that this Insight caused me to rethink tampering with the final seal from Ken's room before I had a chance to examine it thoroughly the only thing left to do was to make sure they would always be loyal to narut it wouldn't take much to accomplish that as each Clan indoctrinated its children to varying degrees a few small adjustments to their memories here and there would be plenty the question of why fugaku and the elders had to die and why we had sided with Naruto would be addressed by some additional narrative that painted them in a negative light while attempting usurp me I also wiped out the unpleasant memories of what I had done to them normally I wouldn't go any farther than this but this wasn't about my sensibilities nothing I wouldn't do or line I wouldn't cross was necessary for Naruto's safety in this situation I tapped into Cotto amatsukami for this reason in contrast to my late father I wasn't satisfied with using a poorly drafted proposal to compel their compliance the risk of acceptions and unanticipated events going against the directives was simply too great instead I made the twins love Naruto with all of their hearts by using what my father ought to have used on me even though I was relieved he hadn't this was also not completely risk-free on its own Obsession could have become a problem I therefore took Extreme Measures to limit their ability to experience emotions like jealousy as much as was practical and to increase their loyalty to the clan and particularly to Naruto in equal measure this should avoid any unanticipated mishaps and I didn't anticipate any significant issues because I was determined to keep an eye on those changes and modify my apprach approached each girl is necessary I wiped the perspiration from my forehead and looked around the room 50 more to go which means 50 more uses of kotoamatsukami amak kodachi and kamimusubi to change their thoughts 50 more sukii to trigger their eyes and 50 more amam and aushi to call forth their eyes I was going to have a long and tiring night the strain of a suzano forcefully conjured would probably be enough to cause permanent harm if not death so I was hesitant to do the same to the youngest children their chakra networks and tetsu simply were not developed enough to support such a demanding judu so even in the best case scenario I anticipated a severe case of chakra exhaustion and consequent Comas given what I had planned their deaths if they happen would be severely damaged every single girl was a rare and valuable resource because of my plans and I had no intention of wasting them carelessly but there was nothing to be done about it I knew the risks but I had to do this now we were in a very dangerous situation because our Clan's strength had decreased at the very least the Hokage knew that fugaku and the elders were traitors this could imply that instead of letting me an associate of theirs remain in charge they will just get rid of me start over and rebuild the Uchiha Clan the way they see fit although I couldn't completely rule out the possibility I was confident that by putting as many obstacles in their way as possible I could make dealing with me much less of a headache for them and discourage them from even considering it among other things it meant that no would be left left Without Eyes guaranteeing that only those who were born with them would ever be able to use them this in and of itself would significantly reduce our appeal as a target for their schemes this was particularly true because a female used as a breeding stock didn't require eyes so eye protection was a legitimate concern I got the impression that danzo in particular wouldn't be above such tactics if they served his objectives then there was the fact that the girls lifetime use of their eyes was severely limited by being left with only a mangio Sharingan and I felt bad about condemning them to a gradual decline into blindness in the event that it became necessary to have some intact eyes in order to advance a mangio Sharingan to an eternal mangio Sharingan I could easily unlock Naruto's or anyone else's eyes because there was a key to the seals that protected our eyes therefore delaying the procedure until they were older and their bodies could handle the strain would have made sense the issue was that after gaining obidos and then my father's eyes I noticed that when the power of their eyes was added to mine kotoamatsukami Hold on Me loosened just a little because of the power in Naruto's eyes there was a possibility that if they Advanced their mangio Sharingan to an eternal mangio Sharingan the sudden increase in power would negate or erase the changes I had made to their memories and Minds I just couldn't take the risk I had to have a firm grip on them if not they might end up posing a danger to my Naruto the worst may be prevented if the younger girls are strengthened beforehand by transferring the life force of one or two people as of yesterday there were 598 members of the UA Clan after subtracting my father and brother there were only 596 however only 56 of them including me would be useful to my Naruto in the future that gave me 540 extra bodies I would have 148 if I gave each of my 56 the life force of seven others giving the more gifted members like isumi and shagar a few more would likely be wise in order to bolster them even more possibly even to Satsuki she was in Naruto's class and she would be his only source of protection for the majority of the day if I couldn't force him to leave the academy she would need all the assistance she could get to avoid slowing him down because of her average Talent giving those three three more would leave me with 39 and I would use the remaining amount on Naruto by the end of the night it should more than make up for the 56 pairs of eyes I would have taken out of him I was so excited that I licked my lips at the thought of the heights he might be able to achieve I will continue the story in next part till then we we offline e
