章節 174: Chapter 174

Gensou removed his sunglasses and extended his hand. A seemingly harmless, yet incredibly destructive, black orb quickly formed in his palm.

[Bloodline Colletion will now be changed into Kekkei Sōmō]

The ease with which he now created the Truth-Seeking Ball was a far cry from the cautious, step-by-step process he had once employed.

This signaled Gensou's considerable progress in mastering the Yin-Yang and Five Elements techniques.

Yet, despite this growth in knowledge, the issue lay in the practical application of these techniques. It was as if Gensou had mastered complex mathematics, but when presented with a solvable exam, he found himself unable to write down the answers—not because he lacked the knowledge, but because his pen had run out of ink.

Clenching his fist, the Truth-Seeking Orb in his hand vanished instantly. Gensou closed his eyes, focusing on the internal workings of his body.

The seven chakra natures—Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Lightning, Yin, and Yang—surged within him, blending and intertwining in a profound and intricate dance. Each element merged seamlessly with the others, becoming one.

Suddenly, Gensou opened his right hand, releasing a torrent of violent chakra that split the sea in front of him in two, the force continuing to roar into the distance.

"As I thought, it still doesn't work," Gensou muttered, shaking his head.

If following the path of the Truth-Seeking Orb for mastering the Kekkei Sōmō was wrong, then he wouldn't have seen any progress in his Kekkei Sōmō training from the start.

If the method was correct but stopped yielding results, then the issue wasn't with the Truth-Seeking Orbs—it lay within the Kekkei Sōmō itself.

While both the Truth-Seeking Orbs and the Kekkei Sōmō were based on the fusion of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, the difference between them was the sheer scale of chakra required.

The Truth-Seeking Orbs, while powerful, were ultimately defined as a form of ninjutsu, and thus required a limited amount of chakra to perform.

The Kekkei Sōmō, on the other hand, was a power that transcended the likes of Kekkei Genkai and even Kekkei Tōta, offering the wielder the strength of a Sage of Six Paths-level being.

The chakra required to wield such a power was enormous.

Gensou had already considered this possibility, though he had assumed that the vast amount of chakra would only be necessary once the Kekkei Sōmō was fully realized. However, it seemed the need for immense chakra reserves had arrived earlier than expected.

Gensou, who had never before worried about his chakra reserves, now found himself grappling with the realization that his chakra might not be enough to master the Kekkei Sōmō. He had always thought his chakra reserves—on par with those of the Tailed Beasts—would suffice, but it appeared that he had underestimated the true scope of the Kekkei Sōmō.

Techniques like Yomotsu Hirasaka, All-Killing Ash Bones, and the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack were all part of the Kekkei Sōmō.

Throughout the thousand-year history of the ninja world, only two people—Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki—had ever wielded the full power of the "net."

Reflecting further, Gensou realized that Kaguya had attained her abilities by consuming the Chakra Fruit of the God Tree, instantly granting her the power of the Kekkei Sōmō.

Her son, Hagoromo, inherited a portion of her chakra and was further empowered by the Rinnegan, allowing him to develop the Kekkei Sōmō naturally. After becoming the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo fully realized the power of the "net."

For these two figures—especially Kaguya—their experiences were unique and impossible to replicate.

However, one thing was clear: the chakra required to wield the Kekkei Sōmō was far greater than Gensou had anticipated.

"How do I increase my chakra reserves?" Gensou mused. "Becoming a Jinchuriki...?"

That wouldn't be enough.

He thought back to the roots of his lineage—Kaguya. Before her resurrection, Black Zetsu had not only gathered the Ten-Tails but also used the Infinite Tsukuyomi to absorb the chakra of the entire world. And even then, Kaguya still wasn't at her peak. She had also attempted to reclaim the chakra within Naruto and Sasuke, which had originally belonged to Hagoromo.

This demonstrated just how terrifyingly vast the chakra reserves of a true Kekkei Sōmō user were. Even Hashirama paled in comparison.

To complete the Kekkei Sōmō, a single Tailed Beast was far from sufficient.

As for other methods within the ninja world to boost chakra—such as the Hero Water, meteorite shards, or the Zero-Tails—those were mere drops in the ocean compared to what Gensou needed.

As Gensou pondered this, footsteps approached from behind.

"The chakra of the approaching person is on par with a Jonin; their Yin release is particularly strong, more akin to secret techniques than genjutsu. A foreign ninja? No... this chakra feels familiar."

Without even turning around, Gensou had already assessed the newcomer's identity. Every ninja's chakra carried a unique signature, and someone like Gensou could identify them without needing to see them.

After a moment of thought, Gensou remembered who it was—Yamanaka Ino, the girl he had once spoken to when he wore his disguise.

Gensou quietly slipped his sunglasses back on and, with a swipe of his hand, altered his appearance. He wasn't in the mood for a confrontation and preferred to enjoy the sun in peace.

"Strange, this is supposed to be a popular tourist spot, but why is there only one person here?"

A few moments later, Ino arrived at the beach, brimming with excitement. But when she looked around, the sight before her didn't match her expectations at all.

"Did I come to the wrong place?" she muttered. "Still, the scenery here is quite nice."

The warm sea breeze, the soft sand beneath her feet, and the vast ocean stretching out before her reassured Ino that she was in the right place.

She glanced at the only other person on the beach, a man lounging on a chair, seemingly asleep with his sunglasses on.

Thinking it rude to disturb him, she decided against striking up a conversation.

"Since I'm here, I might as well enjoy myself," she thought, smiling as she found a secluded spot to change into her swimsuit.

With a splash, Ino transformed into a graceful mermaid, enjoying her time in the ocean.

"The little girl from back then has grown up," Gensou thought, watching her play in the water from behind his sunglasses.

Unlike Sasuke, who had grown up under his watch, Ino's transformation was more striking to him.

"Team Asuma, huh?"

Having heard about the Fire Nation's delegation, Gensou knew a Konoha team was accompanying them.

"No wind is going to blow here like in 'Shippuden,'" Gensou mused, pulling his gaze away from Ino and back to the sea.

Reflecting on his earlier thoughts, his eyes deepened as he stared into the horizon.

"If that's the case, I'll be the one to stir up a new wind."

章節 175: Chapter 175

In the howling wind, the clear sound of wind chimes echoed through the mountains. Two figures, both clad in black robes adorned with red clouds, walked silently along the mountain paths, their conical hats concealing their faces.

The rings on their fingers, marked with the kanji "Shu" and "Nan," revealed their identities.

Kisame glanced at his silent companion, Itachi. Ever since their crushing defeat at the hands of Gensou, Itachi had become even more withdrawn than before.

Kisame, who knew Itachi well, could sense that his teammate was burdened by something heavier than usual.

Seeming to notice Kisame's gaze, Itachi calmly asked, "Have we found any trace of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"Not yet," Kisame replied with a grin, "That old man is good at hiding. Finding him in these mountains won't be quick work."

Itachi looked up at the sky, dark clouds rolling in from the distance. His voice, devoid of emotion, carried a strange weight as he said, "We should hurry. I don't have much time left."

"Not much time?" Kisame was surprised. Then, his expression turned serious as he asked, "Is it your health?"

He knew all too well that Itachi's body had been deteriorating over the years.

But this time, it wasn't about that.

Itachi shook his head slightly and muttered, "The inevitable is coming."

...

Land of Waves, Sky Fortress

Today was a rare occasion. The Uchiha clan members, who usually went about their respective duties, slowly gathered in Gensou's office. Every surviving Uchiha, who had been brought to safety years ago, along with Sasuke, were now present.

"Hey, Sasuke, any idea why Gensou-sama has called us here?" Jin, who had recently become a father-to-be, asked with a hint of anxiety.

He had planned to make fish soup for his pregnant wife, but just as he was about to head home, the summons came. He dreaded the punishment he might face if he delayed for too long.

Sasuke, fresh from his training, shook his head. He had no idea why they had been gathered either.

However, Izumi, who had been quietly observing the scene, suddenly realized something. Her eyes widened in shock, and without warning, her Sharingan activated, glowing crimson.

"What's wrong, Izumi?" Zhen asked, noticing her rare display of emotion.

"I'm fine," Izumi replied, though her heart raced with suspicion. She hesitated to voice her thoughts aloud, worried that she might get everyone's hopes up prematurely. She composed herself, signaling to Jin and Sasuke that she was okay, and settled into a tense wait.

It wasn't just Izumi—some of the more astute Uchiha members were also counting heads and seemed to sense the significance of the gathering.

An air of anticipation and unease filled the room, like the calm before a storm, until the silence was broken by the opening of a door.

Gensou entered the room, his expression unreadable as he walked past the gathered Uchiha and took his seat. His gaze swept over Izumi and the others before he spoke in a calm, measured voice.

"It seems some of you have already guessed why you've been called here."

Izumi and the others, who had anticipated what might come next, felt their hearts race. Their hands clenched reflexively.

"You're right," Gensou continued without delay. "The reason I've gathered you here is for the goal you've pursued all your lives."

"The one responsible for the Uchiha clan massacre, Uchiha Itachi, is about to meet his end."

Boom!

At that moment, the pent-up emotions of the Uchiha members could no longer be contained. Chakra flared wildly, filling the room with a chaotic surge of energy.

As the weight of Gensou's words sank in, the Uchiha present erupted in excitement, elation, and an overwhelming thirst for revenge. One by one, the Sharingan activated, their red eyes burning with intensity.

"Father! Sister! Brother! Finally, I can avenge you!" Jin, who had long since forgotten about his fish soup, clenched his fists, his face contorted with fury.

"Father! Mother! The day has finally come!" Uchiha Kyou, overwhelmed by emotion, wiped away his tears.

Even Uchiha Yokushi, who had always viewed crying as a weakness, was unable to hold back his tears as he thought of the grandparents who had raised him but never lived to see peace. "Grandfather! Grandmother! I swear, I'll kill that monster!"

"Brother, watch over me. Itachi will be punished this time!"

"Misa, I won't back down again!"

The emotions were too intense, too long suppressed. These Uchiha had waited far too long for this moment.

Since the massacre of the Uchiha clan in Konoha's 55th year, the survivors had dreamed of vengeance. But Itachi was far too powerful. Even their most skilled members, those with fully awakened Sharingan, couldn't hope to match him in battle.

So they waited. One year. Two years. They endured, training in silence, hoping that one day, they would be strong enough to take their revenge.

But could they really?

Uchiha Itachi was a prodigy, his strength insurmountable. For so long, the Uchiha had felt nothing but despair.

That is, until Sasuke arrived, accompanied by the legendary Gensou, a man spoken of in the same breath as Uchiha Madara.

From that moment on, the downtrodden Uchiha survivors saw a glimmer of hope. They devoted themselves to Gensou, pouring their blood and sweat into proving their worth, all in anticipation of hearing the words that had just been spoken.

Now, the time had come.

As the room filled with the blood-red glow of their Sharingan, Gensou remained calm, his presence steady and unshaken.

Once the Uchiha managed to rein in their emotions, he issued his orders.

"This mission is open to all Uchiha," Gensou said. "Uchiha Sasuke, you will lead."

From the age of seven, Sasuke had dreamed of this day. As Gensou's words registered, he released the grip on his sword, which had left his palm white, and stepped forward. His eyes burned with a fierce intensity as he bowed his head deeply.

"Yes!" he declared.

Gensou continued, "You have one day to prepare. We leave at 7 AM tomorrow."

"The target is Naka Shrine."

"Yes!" the Uchiha chorused, their voices filled with determination.
