"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." In his last battle where he died, Gensou suffered due to a lack of intelligence.
Although he was now deeply immersed in his training and research, he hadn't forgotten to stay informed about the latest developments in the ninja world.
Fortunately, Jomae Village specialized in this kind of work.
While they might not be able to obtain the highest-level secrets of the Five Great Ninja Villages, they could still grasp and analyze the overall situation.
For example, by gathering information on the storage and transportation of food supplies in each village, they could predict the likelihood of wars.
Recently, the ninja world had been relatively peaceful.
Due to the convening of the second Five Kage Summit, the friction between the Five Great Ninja Villages had decreased significantly compared to the past.
After more than a decade of recuperation, the signs of the Fourth Great Ninja War, which should have been rising like before the previous three, seemed to be a distant prospect.
Instead, the Joint Intelligence Division established by the Five Great Ninja Villages during the summit had been making a lot of noise, appearing in many places.
Although they hadn't found any information related to Gensou, they had discovered and destroyed several of Orochimaru's secret bases, and even uncovered a hidden base of the Akatsuki.
One had to admit, when the Five Great Ninja Villages got serious, their efficiency was remarkable.
After silently mourning for Orochimaru and the Akatsuki for a second, Gensou continued to review the intelligence scroll.
In summary, there were no wars in the ninja world.
But when he saw at the end of the report that there were signs of Konoha ninja activity in the Land of Keys, Gensou's gaze sharpened slightly:
"Have you determined the purpose of the Konoha ninja coming to the Land of Keys?"
Ali nodded, "A Konoha team received a C-rank mission to escort a caravan to the Land of Keys. We investigated the caravan leader who issued the mission to Konoha and found nothing suspicious."
"A coincidence?"
Gensou didn't believe in coincidences.
Perhaps this time it was indeed a coincidence.
But after one coincidence, a second and third visit would only be a matter of time.
Although he didn't consider Konoha's ninja a threat to himself, they could pose significant trouble for the Hagoromo clan and many ordinary people without ninja abilities living in the Land of Keys.
"It seems that the conflict between Jomae Village and Konoha hasn't completely dissipated."
If Konoha truly knew he was in Jomae Village, they wouldn't just be making these minor moves.
Most likely, because of Hanare's previous intelligence conflict, Konoha had marked Jomae Village and was now taking advantage of the situation to see if there were any unexpected gains.
"It's time to bring up the retreat plan for Jomae Village."
"Additionally, it's time for me to make some moves outside. Otherwise, Konoha might keep focusing on this place."
After Hanare left, Gensou looked thoughtfully at a functioning cultivation tank.
"Just in time, the test subject in the tank has matured. I'll take it out to test the results and handle some other matters."
Gensou walked to the cultivation tank and opened the sealed door. Inside the tank filled with green nutrient fluid lay a body distinct from its peers, a white Zetsu.
"With the integration of my cells and Uchiha cells, and after extensive modification, this white Zetsu has an exceptional talent for Yin Release. With Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan implanted, it won't have any side effects, making it perfect for my further research on Yin chakra."
During the Warring States period, due to the Sharingan, Gensou had invested the least in genjutsu.
After all, everyone knew that no matter how advanced the genjutsu, it was useless against the Sharingan, an eye that surpassed genjutsu.
Therefore, among the seven chakra natures, Gensou had the least mastery of Yin Release chakra.
Even though he had mastered Yin-Yang Release, the lag in Yin Release made further development of Yin-Yang Release difficult.
To achieve the Kekkei Mora, he needed comprehensive research on all seven chakra natures.
In the past, Gensou would have spent a lot of time slowly exploring Yin Release chakra.
But now, he had found a promising shortcut.
Every Uchiha who awakened their Sharingan was an expert in Yin Release.
And Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, especially those with genjutsu-based dojutsu, had an unparalleled understanding of Yin Release chakra.
Although Shisui was gone, one of his Mangekyou Sharingan remained.
This eye contained immense power and information.
For Gensou, the vast information behind this power was more valuable.
Initially, Gensou planned to transplant Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan into his eye socket for thorough research to accelerate his development of Yin Release chakra.
But after trying, he found that the Mangekyou Sharingan strongly rejected him, a non-Uchiha, making the research process slow and inefficient.
While it was still faster than exploring Yin Release chakra alone, after capturing several white Zetsu, Gensou came up with a better idea.
He modified a white Zetsu by integrating Hagoromo and Uchiha cells to perfectly harness the Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities. With his cells involved, it was easier to control.
Just like now.
"Spirit Transformation: Projection!"
Gensou clapped his hands, and his soul projected a shadow that quickly merged into the modified white Zetsu.
Absorbing the Shinigami's arm not only strengthened his soul but also granted him one of the Shinigami's abilities, soul projection.
Similar to the Astral Projection technique.
After Gensou's modifications, it became the Spirit Transformation: Projection technique.
The soul projection could travel thousands of miles instantly, possess a body, and control it.
Though the power it wielded was limited, the main body could instantly swap places with the projection under the Spirit Transformation: Projection technique.
Now, with the soul projection entering, the white Zetsu, whose soul had been erased, opened its eyes. With a thought, its body rapidly transformed.
When it stood up again, it had taken on Gensou's appearance from his previous life.
"Try implanting the Mangekyou Sharingan."
Gensou handed over Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan and instructed.
The white Zetsu, under the projection's control, nodded. After a simple eye transplant technique, the blood-red Mangekyou Sharingan with black blade-like patterns settled in its right eye socket. The black blades rotated a few times before calming down.
Gensou's gaze shifted.
The main body and the projection swapped places instantly.
At this moment, with the main body inside the white Zetsu, Gensou felt everything within it more clearly and smiled in satisfaction.
"Indeed, the Mangekyou Sharingan has fully opened up to me."

<<<Check out my new translation!! [Naruto: Infinite New World]!>>>
Three days later, Zanki's wedding.
Jomae Village was filled with joy and excitement.
Diligently training, Sasuke did not forget his promise and arrived at the wedding venue on time, bringing along the gift he had prepared.
Gensou, who was familiarizing himself with the Mangekyou Sharingan and experiencing new perspectives, also took the time to attend this wedding.
It was a pure union of love between the couple, without any political motives, and the bride from the Hagoromo clan was, by seniority, supposed to call him grandfather.
"Grandfather... I never thought I'd reach this kind of... seniority."
Feeling much younger and in peak physical condition compared to many present, Gensou mused to himself. After toasting the newlyweds, he excused himself, knowing his presence might make others uncomfortable.
Before leaving, Gensou instructed Sasuke to prepare for a journey in seven days.
Sasuke was surprised but diligently began his preparations following Gensou's instructions.
...
A week later.
In front of Gensou's experimental base.
Dressed for travel, Sasuke stood patiently at the entrance.
Soon, the door opened.
To Sasuke's surprise, a man wearing the same blue Uchiha kimono and a white whirlpool mask stepped out.
"Let's go."
Gensou's familiar voice came from behind the mask.
"Who are you?"
Sasuke didn't comply. Instead, he gripped his ninja sword, looking seriously at the unfamiliar man in front of him.
Though the voice was the same, Sasuke sensed that this man was not the Gensou he knew.
"You noticed? It seems your training hasn't been in vain."
The man said, then removed the white mask, revealing a stranger's face.
"This is a special clone I made." He explained.
As he spoke, the real Gensou appeared, explaining to Sasuke, "He will be accompanying you on this journey."
The man with the white whirlpool mask was actually Gensou's Yin-attribute White Zetsu clone.
Using the Spirit Transformation: Projection technique, Gensou could simultaneously control both his main body and the White Zetsu clone, switching places at any time. He chose to send the clone on this journey.
Compared to quiet training, constant combat would better accelerate the research and understanding of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Seeing the real Gensou, Sasuke relaxed, releasing his grip on the sword.
But when he looked closely at the White Zetsu clone's face, he was startled.
"Sharingan!!"
Noticing the familiar red color in the clone's right eye socket, Sasuke was stunned, unable to understand why an Uchiha's Sharingan was in Gensou's clone.
Then, seeing the pattern in the eye was not the usual three tomoe but a black blade shape, his pupils contracted further.
Unlike before, Sasuke, now formally trained by the Uchiha, knew exactly what this pattern meant.
"Mangekyou Sharingan!!!"
A Mangekyou Sharingan like Uchiha Itachi's!
Sasuke never expected to see it here, and in Gensou's clone no less, an eye that many Uchiha spent their lives pursuing.
"This is Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan," Gensou said calmly.
He had no intention of hiding it; otherwise, he wouldn't have removed the mask.
For Gensou, the Mangekyou Sharingan was merely a tool for researching Yin-attribute chakra, unlike Danzo, who coveted the eye.
Once his research was complete, he had no qualms about returning the eye to the Uchiha clan.
"Shisui?"
Sasuke had heard of this clan member but didn't know much about him.
"See for yourself."
Words were never as impactful as images. Gensou activated the Mangekyou Sharingan, the black pattern spinning quickly.
In an instant, Sasuke felt the world change color.
When he blinked and looked again, Gensou was gone.
Instead, he saw a young Uchiha ninja confronting an old man and what looked like Konoha ANBU behind him.
"I fell into a genjutsu?"
Sasuke couldn't believe that even with his three tomoe Sharingan, he had been caught so easily.
No time to think.
The battle between the Uchiha ninja and the Konoha ninja had begun.
The old man leading the Konoha ninja shouted out the name "Shisui."
"So that's Uchiha Shisui?"
Sasuke focused intently.
In the real world.
Seeing Sasuke fall into the genjutsu with a single glance, Gensou, though expecting it, was still impressed by the power of Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan.
Kotoamatsukami was still on cooldown.
Yet, the ordinary genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan was already this powerful.
No wonder in the Third Shinobi War, the Mist ninja fell one by one under Shisui's genjutsu without even seeing his face.
Even in the Warring States period, no Uchiha had developed the Sharingan's genjutsu to this level.
Neither Madara, who possessed the straight tomoe Mangekyou Sharingan, nor Izuna could match it.
"Konoha's Uchiha clan has produced many talents. Unfortunately, they are either not ruthless enough or too ruthless."
Gensou shook his head slightly and dispelled the genjutsu.
Sasuke woke up instantly.
Realizing he was back in reality, he asked Gensou, slightly agitated, "Who was that old man?"
Gensou had shown Sasuke the scene of Danzo stealing Shisui's eye.
Though it had some inaccuracies, as he hadn't witnessed it himself, it was a close approximation of the truth.
"Danzo, Konoha's advisor elder."
Gensou's clone put the mask back on and said calmly.
"I will kill him!" Sasuke's eyes turned cold.
"No need, I've already killed him. Otherwise, where do you think the Sharingan came from?"
"..."
Sasuke froze, realizing he hadn't thought of that.
"Let's go." Gensou began walking out of the village.
As for his main body, it remained in the experimental base, continuing various research projects.
Sasuke glanced at the closing doors of the experimental base, then hurried to catch up with the somewhat unfamiliar Gensou clone, asking curiously:
"Where are we going, Gensou-sama?"
"The Land of Fire," Gensou said calmly.
"Konoha?"
"The Land of Fire is vast. But if we happen to run into any of your old friends, we can stop and say hello."
"No need. I have no interest in them."
"Is that so?"
