Chapter 77: The Uchiha Are Still Easy to Fool

‘In Itachi's case, I don't know if it's because of his qualifications or because he shares a closer lineage to Indra.’

‘At any rate, there's no way to verify this theory.’

‘Fugaku's Mangekyō hasn't evolved. I don't know if it's because of his bloodline or his aptitude, but at least his Mangekyō Sharingan has regained its sight. Perhaps this consumes more potential?’

Yami doesn't know the specific situation, and there are currently no close relatives who possess Mangekyō, so they can't conduct further experiments.

He can only record these observations and ask Judge later.

"This strength is sufficient. When I capture a tailed beast for you to use later, you should be able to maintain it for a lot longer."

"Fugaku-san, when you return, see if you can improve with the First Hokage cells, then try to for the complete [Susanoo].”

Yami spoke to the father and son.

Itachi succeeded, Fugaku didn't, and Yami didn't know what was going on.

He could only explain it through their qualifications.

After all, Itachi has been the genius of the Uchiha clan for so many years.

Madara, Shisui, and Itachi are all true geniuses of the modern era.

Yami feels that he is at most better than Fugaku, but still somewhat inferior to these three individuals.

"Yes."

Fugaku and Itachi responded promptly.

On the sidelines, Judge heard a new term: tailed beast.

He felt curious, but since Yami didn't explain it to him, it was difficult for him to ask questions.

After spending so much time here, he had figured out that this clan definitely had major secrets.

He's an outsider who can only listen to what Yami is willing to share. If Yami doesn't tell him, he shouldn't try to pry.

"Prepare to pack up and leave. The rest of the journey will be very troublesome."

Yami continued.

Judge was the first to run off.

He was going to save the data and simultaneously take out the previous day's research to study it carefully.

Izumi followed Itachi happily, her mind completely focused on Itachi and not thinking about her own strength at all.

Only Shisui remained.

"Did you stay so you can ask if there's a way for you to evolve your Mangekyō?"

Yami said after a bit of silence.

Shisui nodded his head.

“I want to be of use to the clan.”

He didn't want to possess the full power of [Susanoo] out of desire, but he felt that he needed this power.

To him, Itachi was like his younger brother.

If they encountered danger in the future, would he really let Itachi fight while he could only watch helplessly?

He doesn't want that day to come…

"As far as I know, there shouldn't be."

"My method cannot be replicated by others. As such… It requires a close relative to replace the Mangekyō Sharingan like Itachi did."

"When we return to the ninja world and use the First Hokage cells, we can only do the same as Fugaku-san, suppressing the side effects of the Mangekyō to almost nothing while simultaneously increasing chakra capacity. We cannot achieve a qualitative change like Itachi and allow the Mangekyō to evolve."

Yami spoke very directly.

His system cannot be used by others, and he only knows this method to evolve the Eternal Mangekyō in the ninja world.

Hearing what Yami said, Shisui nodded silently and didn't force the issue.

"The only possibility is that Judge would complete some research, find the difference between the Eternal Mangekyō and the ordinary Mangekyō, and then he’ll transform your eyes."

"But this matter won't be easy, and after all, Judge isn't from the ninja world. It's impossible to determine whether his research will be effective. After returning to the ninja world, I'll recruit Orochimaru to study together and search for that possibility."

"And Shisui, don't limit yourself to just that power. This world also has infinite possibilities, right?"

"The power of bloodlines has its limits, but people here can surpass those limits…"

Yami saw Shisui like this, so he offered him hope while filling him with encouragement at the same time.

Sure enough, after listening to Yami's words, Shisui's expression became more confident.

It was somewhat similar to his sunny demeanor from before, but now there was an underlying feeling of determination.

"I understand, Yami-san."

Shisui answered seriously.

Yami was very pleased to see Shisui, who was full of energy again after being motivated by his words.

'The Uchiha really are easy to fool…'

After resolving Itachi's eye issue, the next step was to relocate.

It took an entire day to move all the necessary items to the ships.

Then a barrier seal was left on the island.

If no one invades and breaks it, the barrier can last for three years.

After all, no one lives in this place; what if it becomes useful later?

"Target: Sabaody Archipelago,"

Yami ordered through the Den-Den Mushi.

The ships then set sail directly and began their voyage.

Yami gathered all the senior officials together to prepare for a meeting.

This time, in addition to the Uchiha members, Lucci and Judge were all summoned by Yami.

"This time, our target is Fish-Man Island. This place was previously territory protected by the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors."

"But now that the Whitebeard Pirates are being hunted by the Marines, they're completely unable to continue protecting this territory. I'm ready to bring this area into the Uchiha's sphere of influence."

"At the same time, we'll train our forces there!"

Yami revealed his plan.

After Whitebeard's death, the Whitebeard Pirates didn’t have the strength to continue occupying the territory they had held in the past. Now it was difficult for them to survive because the Navy won't let them go.

Sakazuki and Kuzan competed for Fleet Admiral, and the rules changed from a regular competition to whoever catches or kills Fire Fist Ace first.

Whoever kills Ace first will win.

So now the Whitebeard Pirates were being targeted by two admirals, and the other Four Emperors won't help, so it's fortunate enough already if the Whitebeard Pirates weren’t completely destroyed.

"There are enough enemies there for training. The pirates who want to enter the New World will pass through there, and there are also some troubles on Fish-Man Island itself."

"While learning [Haki], we'll strengthen our bodies.”

“And when the time is right… We'll fight back towards Konoha."

Yami said with determined eyes.

The Uchiha clan members in the cabin all had mixed expressions.

Shisui felt the most uncomfortable.

Unlike other Uchiha clan members, he wasn't excited about fighting back against Konoha.

Only Judge and Lucci didn't know what was going on, but they didn't dare to ask, so they just listened silently.

"You can start learning [Haki] on the way there."

"Shisui, you'll be responsible for ships one through five, and I'll handle the rest."

"Starting today, all members of the Uchiha combat force will undergo intensive physical training. Judge, you're responsible for collecting data and analyzing it."

"Lucci, you're responsible for guiding the physical strengthening training."

"That's all. Dismissed."

Yami then gave his orders.

He would improve the combat effectiveness of the Uchiha clan in all aspects.
