"Indeed!"
The Uzumaki clan leader nods to confirm their doubt.
Everyone falls silent after listening to the analysis of the Uzumaki clan leader. Their mood turns somber from the information.
How are they supposed to fight against something so illogical? This technique defies all common senses and is almost as mythical and mysterious as the legendary Sage of Six Paths- the strongest being in stories and legends.
All of their schemes, strategies, and strengths are meaningless in front of such a technique. With just a few hand signs, the enemy can reverse the situation within seconds. They have no chance of victory against the enemy.
"Let's dissolve the clan coalition!" The Nara clan leader remarks.
"That's right! We can't sustain this battle any longer. We have fought against the Uchiha clan for the last five years and have suffered heavy losses." The Sarutobi clan leader agrees with the Nara clan leader.
"It will take us several years, if not decades, to recover from this battle. Prolonging the battle further will only bleed our vitality and might even lead to the invasion of clans from other nations." Yamanaka clan leader adds.
The Senju and the Uzumaki clan leader glance at each other and finally nod.
"Let's discuss further details at our headquarters." They sigh helplessly and relents.
Thus, this marks the end of the campaign against the Uchiha clan members.
"We won! We won the war!"
On the other side, the members of the Uchiha clan celebrate their victory over several clans.
Over these years, they have suffered severe losses and the sudden move by their enemy almost caused them to lose everything. But now, with their clan leader's powerful move, they seized victory in a single scoop.
Haha…
The elders of the clan laugh jovially and pat Isamu's shoulder.
Hmm…
Only the eldest clan elder notices Isamu's closed left eye. He frowns and asks.
"Isamu, your right eye? Did you suffer any injury?" He asks with slight worry.
He is Isamu's father-in-law, so he is slightly worried about his son-in-law.
Isamu slowly opens his eyes to reveal his white pupil.
"This is…"
The rest of the elders also pause their celebration and stare at Isamu with a slightly somber explanation, waiting for an explanation.
Sigh…
Isamu sighs and explains.
"This is the cost of such a powerful technique. At the cost of light in my left eye, I was able to turn the tide of the war."
Hmm…
The clan elders ponder and nod after a while.
"This sacrifice is nothing compared to the lives of several of your clan members. You have contributed greatly to the clan. Isamu, your name shall be passed down with honor as a hero among the future generations of the Uchiha clan."
The elders recognize his achievement.
"Isamu, the technique that you used; can you teach it to the rest of the clan members?" The elders ask after some slight hesitation.
Isamu created this technique, so he has the right to choose whether to teach it to others or not. Still, it will be another significant contribution to strengthen the power of their clan.
This powerful technique could easily become the trump card of their clan.
"Alright!" Isamu agrees to this suggestion without any hesitation.
Soon, the group returns to their clan headquarters and Isamu not only teaches the technique to other clan members but also records it down among the forbidden secret techniques of the clan.
Since the cost of this technique is very high, it was regarded as a Kinjutsu. Only members with Mangekyo Sharingan were worthy to learn the technique.
It was because the activation of this technique requires the special chakra generated by the Mangekyo Sharingan. So, in order to use this technique, the user must have at least one Mangekyo Sharingan, or else the technique won't activate.
The infamy of the Uchiha clan grew even further as they dominated the entire shinobi world with their visual prowess. However, a few years later, the powerful leader of the Uchiha clan, Isamu Uchiha, disappeared mysteriously, to be never seen again.
Even the other Uchiha clan members had no clue of his whereabouts and listed him MIA in the clan records.
In a secret underground cave,
Tch…
Black Zetsu clicks his tongue in disdain. The corpse of Isamu Uchiha lies in front of him in a disfigured state, much to his chagrin.
"So weak! So pathetic!" He exclaims in anger.
Beside Isamu's corpse is the trunk of a massive tree. Several branches sprout from the tree and assimilate Isamu's corpse.
A few seconds later, Isamu's face appears on the tree trunk alongside the face of the Senju clan prodigy who died under Isamu's hands.
"Let me reunite you with your brother!" Black Zetsu casts another disdainful gaze to mutter to himself.
"So, my earlier speculation was correct. I need the chakra of both Indra and Asura to awaken the Rinnegan. However," He recalls the ruined body of Isamu.
"A certain amount of luck is required to achieve success. The process of awakening is very slow and if I attempt to accelerate the process with drugs, then the body will explode from handling too much power."
That's exactly what happened to Isamu. All these years, after losing his left eye in battle, Isamu unceasingly searched for a method to recover the lost light in his left eye.
Isamu was blind before his death. The vision in his left eye was lost permanently because of Izanagi and the vision in his right eye faded from the overuse of his Mangekyo Sharingan.
He desperately searched for a method to restore his vision. So, Black Zetsu appeared in front of him and gave him hope to recover his vision.
However, the result: Isamu recovered his vision but soon exploded from the overwhelming power as his eyes began to evolve to the next stage.
The evolution of Mangekyo Sharingan to Rinnegan requires a huge amount of power. Ordinary shinobis with weak bodies can't bear the burden. Only someone with Asura's physique can handle such great power. It's the reason he transplanted the cells of Asura's reincarnation into Isamu's body.
"It seems like I can't rush the process to achieve instant results." Black Zetsu casts a last glance at the massive tree underground before entering into the ground.
"I will wait patiently for that day- the day of my success!"
In the outside world,
After the disappearance of the Isamu Uchiha, unrest spread among the remaining members of the Uchiha clan.
After several generations, the side effects of the drug finally began to appear. Coupled with the great power of Izanagi that allowed the users to choose their own destiny, the minds of the Uchiha clan members became unstable.
Skirmishes broke out between the Uchiha clan members that soon turned into violent battles. The bloodthirsty nature of the Uchiha clan members finally surfaced.
The clan members turned against each other and bloody battles broke out to prove their superiority. The Izanagi became a tool to achieve their desired result; with one individual trying to outclass the other.
Such a result shook the elders of the Uchiha clan. The entire Uchiha clan was in chaos and was on the verge of self-destruction.
This madness lasted for a few generations, a madness where the elite members of the clan with Mangekyo Sharingan would fight in a battle royale and only the sole survivor stood as the victor.
The generations of blood baths only came to an end with the appearance of a woman named Naori Uchiha. She created Izanami: a counter technique for Izanagi to save her childhood friends: Naka, Baru, and Rai Uchiha from the endless cycle of bloodbaths.
After they broke free from this madness, the group slowly took powerful positions in the clan. Later, they discontinued the use of the medicinal drug, since its negative effects were too brutal to ignore. Alongside this, they also sealed the 'Izanami and Izanagi' to prevent another tragedy from happening.
Now only the selected few members of the Uchiha clan were allowed to learn these forbidden techniques.
Most of the clan members didn't support these decisions, and soon a revolt happened within the clan. The Uchiha clan was torn into two factions, people who were in support of the Naori Uchiha's decision and the people who were against it.
Even after several debates, neither side refused to budge and thus a tear was created in the Uchiha clan's ranks.
The anti-faction broke free from the Uchiha control and found their own clan- the Hagoromo clan, similar to the Senju and Uzumaki.
The Hagoromo clan was named after their ancestor to show their common ancestry with the Uchiha clan.

Middle Warring States Era,
With the split of the Uchiha clan into the Uchiha clan and the Hagoromo clan, peace returned to the Land of Fire.
Skirmishes broke out between small clans here and there, but there was no large-scale upheaval anywhere.
Most of the large clans were still recuperating from the previous wars. Not only that, the resources of the Land of Fire had dried up from continuous wars, and now these clans turned their attention to the foreign nations to loot their resources.
Meanwhile, in the Hagoromo clan.
It hasn't been long since rebels of the Uchiha clan found a new clan and it was already in jeopardy after a generation.
Most of the members of the Hagoromo clan had little to no talent to awaken the Sharingan. The true elite shinobis were still within the Uchiha clan, shinobis with a strong Uchiha bloodline, and had the ability to awaken the Sharingan.
The Hagoromo clan was mostly made of branch family members of the Uchiha clan with mixed bloodlines from several other clans. It's part of the reason these shinobis had low potential to awaken the Sharingan and thus they had to depend on the forbidden drug to stimulate their Uchiha blood.
Now, with the recipe of the Forbidden drug sealed in the main branch's hands, they had no choice but to seek alternatives.
It was in such needy times that Black Zetsu came to their aid. He secretly contacted the current head of the Hagoromo clan, Toshiko, and manipulated him.
'This branch family of the Uchiha clan can serve as the perfect test subjects to test the potency of my method to awaken the Rinnegan.' Black Zetsu thinks to himself.
'These people are the outcasts of the Uchiha clan and are basically abandoned by the main family. They are desperate to prove their worth and continue their bloodline.'
Thus, with Black Zetsu's manipulation, the members of the Hagoromo clan became active. They hunted and secretly kidnapped the Senju and the Uzumaki clan members under their leader's order.
Hehe…
In a secret underground facility within the Hagoromo clan, Toshiko, the current leader of the Hagoromo clan, starts the concoction of the secret formula provided by the Black Zetsu.
Corpses of the Senju and the Uzumaki clan members were pinned to the walls. Blood dripped from their body, slowly gathering in a large pool in the middle of the room. The blood of the Senju and the Uzumaki clan was the key ingredient for the secret pill and he had no qualms about hunting their members since they had deep-seated enmity with the two clans.
Several Fuinjutsu runes were etched along the blood channels and on the walls of the blood pool.
The fuinjutsu runes were glowing with a bright light and slowly condensing the blood into concentrated beads.
Meanwhile, Toshiko added several other ingredients and reagents to the blood according to the formula provided by the Black Zetsu.
There was a hint of madness in his eyes and his face was twisted with a sinister expression.
Soon, the entire blood in the blood pool dried up, leaving behind a batch of dark purple pills.
"It was a success!" His eyes gleam brightly and he hastily collects the pill.
"I will call them 'Bloodline Pills'."
Later, in the meeting hall,
Toshiko summons the adult clan members and presents the dark purple pills to them.
"These pills are the future of our clan. They will help us awaken our bloodline and grant us a power superior to the Sharingan." He exclaims.
The clan members stare at Toshiko with skeptical eyes. Despite their doubts, they trust their leader and take the 'Bloodline pills'.
Days continue, and Toshiko continues to concoct the 'Bloodline pills' every three months.
It took time to gather enough ingredients to create a batch of pills. Slowly, the doubts of the Hagoromo clan members grew even further since the new pill seemed to have no effect on them whatsoever.
After a year,
The clan members gather again and Toshiko distributes another batch of the bloodline pills. Most members accept the pill. However, a few of them hesitate to consume it.
After such a long period, even a fool can figure out the key ingredients of the bloodline pill since most of them contributed to gathering the materials for this pill.
However, these people didn't voice their objections out of fear and concern. Despite their doubts, there were still several clan members who were firm believers in the clan leader, trusting him unconditionally.
ARGH…
Suddenly, one member who ate the pill grabbed his head in pain. Tears of blood leak from his eyes. Veins pop out around his eyes. His agonizing screams echo throughout the hall. Beads of sweat roll down his body and his face runs red from the blood surge.
AH!
The rest of the members are stunned by this sudden development. Some members who were about to consume the pill stopped, terrified at the sight.
They have heard about the process of bloodline awakening from their elders, but had never seen such an extreme sight. Even the elders who knew about the process were shaken slightly. The previous pill didn't seem to have such an immense effect.
"Mitsuru!"
They call out the name of the person undergoing the painful transformation.
However, Toshiko calmly stares at them and opens his mouth.
"The process of awakening has begun! Only someone with great will and mental strength is worthy of great power."
Toshiko's words trigger Mitsuru's fighting spirit. His screams stop and he grits his teeth and bears the pain.
Finally, half an hour later, his anguished expression calms down. Mitsuru slowly stands up with his eyes closed.
Gulp…
Several members gulp their saliva in trepidation. Finally, Mitsuru opens his eyes.
Shiing…
Suddenly, a gleam flashed through his deep purple eyes. A chakra pulse emanates from his eyes and spreads through the entire meeting hall.
In an instant, everyone in the hall is caught in a genjutsu. A massive purple eye with three concentric rings appears in their vision.
Cold sweat pours down their body. Their legs turn weak, unable to even move a muscle under the effect of the genjutsu. All of their senses turn numb and slowly their perception fades away. The surrounding hall disappears and all of them appear in a dark, isolated chamber with massive eyes in front of them. A creeping chill lingers in their surroundings, suffocating them.
"So powerful!" A few skeptical elders murmur after witnessing the power of the eyes firsthand.
"Dispel!"
With a loud snap from Toshiko, the clan members break free from the powerful genjutsu and return to reality.
"You didn't disappoint me, Mitsuru!" Toshiko praises the first person in the clan to awaken the new power.
"Thank you for your trust, Toshiko-sama!" Mitsuru bows to Toshiko in reverence.
Black Zetsu observes the entire situation unfold from a dark corner.
'The experiment was successful!' He mutters before disappearing into the ground.
"The Sharingan isn't the only visual prowess of the Uchiha clan. Even if we are a branch family, we had the potential to surpass the main family."
Suddenly, several frantic discussions break out in the clan hall. The clan members enthusiastically discuss Mitsuru's new eyes.
"Toshiko, what is the name of these eyes?" One elder asks Toshiko.
"Yes, Toshiko-sama, what should we call these eyes?" Another member asks.
Hmm…
Toshiko ponders for a while and opens his eyes.
"From now on, these eyes shall be named the 'Genreigan' or 'the Spirit Illusion Eye'. And they shall be the prized possession of our 'Hagoromo clan'." Toshiko declares proudly.
The clan members cheers in joy and enthusiasm.
Soon, several other members also consume the pill to awaken their eyes. Even the members who were hesitating before, concerned about the nature of the pill, are now desperately absorbing the potent power of the pill.
Out of the entire populace, only a dozen members manage to awaken the new Dojutsu of the clan. The status of these members immediately rises to elite rank.
Toshiko immediately creates a team of these elite members.
"From now on, the fame of the Hagoromo clan shall spread throughout the entire shinobi world."
