Chapter 261 Discussion [Combined Chapter]

When Uchiha Masaki returned to the safe place where he and Uchiha Eiji were temporarily staying, Uchiha Kenji had successfully calmed down and was sitting at the table, happily eating a small plate of sour plums. Smelling the slightly sour smell in the air, Uchiha Masaki couldn't help but wave his hand, "You sour heretic."

"I'm happy to do it. It's none of your business." Uchiha Kenji held another sour plum in his mouth, and his voice became mumbling. "I'm telling you, I haven't settled the score with you yet. If you don't give me satisfactory compensation, I'll wait for you at your doorstep every day."

"And then break your legs again?" Uchiha Masaki snorted and laughed, "I saw the magatama in your eyes connected together at that time. You should have awakened too, right?"

"Yes, I've awakened." Uchiha Kenji chewed the sour plum in his mouth with a resentful expression, "I could have tried the eye technique right away, it's all your fault for interfering - how are you going to compensate me?"

"If I don't interfere, do you believe that the Daimyo will send a letter of condemnation to our clan the day after we leave?" Uchiha Masaki also sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea. "Once Susanoo appears, unless the Daimyo's brain is full of shit, it's only a matter of time before he finds us and holds us responsible."

Uchiha Kenji then grumbled and quieted down, concentrating on eating his sour plums.

Uchiha Masaki looked at Ling who was sitting on the other side and reading a bamboo book. "You are going back later, right?"

"Well, I have done everything I can do. The next part will be handed over to the clan." Ling put away the bamboo scroll in his hand that he used to pass the time. "Now that Yashu is back, let's talk about the blood pool."

After hearing Ling's words, except for Uchiha Kenji who was still lying on the table and smacking his lips like a boneless person, Uchiha Eidera and Uchiha Masaki both found a comfortable position to sit down.

"And I was just a spectator who didn't participate in this battle, so if there are any omissions later, I need you to supplement them," Ling changed direction, "Is that okay?"

Uchiha Kenji finally sat up straighter, and uttered a meaningless syllable while holding a sour plum in his mouth to show that he heard it.

After receiving the reply, Ling also spoke after a brief pause, "I won't talk about the more superficial things like using blood to fight. At the end of the fight between Shang and Xiansi, from the perspective of perception, Shang separated a large amount of pupil power from his body, and then, the people who were previously controlled to approach had no vital signs at all, and were replaced by an even more chaotic chakra structure.

But what concerned me was that when this chakra structure attacked Xiansi, it no longer consumed Shang's chakra and pupil power, as if it were a creature with consciousness. When Yashu destroyed it, Shang's pupil power that had been consumed was mostly restored, and that consumption was even less than when he used pupil skills to attack during his previous fight with Xiansi."

"That sounds really difficult--" Uchiha Eiji frowned, "Isn't it possible that not everyone has the same bloodline limit? Although it's not close, but that kind of powerful technique must be at least three magatama-level, right?"

"To be exact, it is higher than the Three Magatama, but far lower than the Mangekyō. And from what Shang and the others said, we should have this power when we awaken, but everyone's control is different." Ling raised his hand and touched his chin, "There is another point that is also of concern...

After performing the ninjutsu that took someone's life, Shang's pupil power briefly returned to its peak - so I speculate that Shang and Shan's pupil power are not shared, but because of their own special characteristics, they can use the same ninjutsu together. I speculate that this is the main reason why he was able to regain consciousness immediately after being attacked by Yashu."

"There shouldn't be any problem with this. In order to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible, I used the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique, Yamaten. I can be sure that my eye power actually cut the opponent's spirit, but it was blocked at the critical moment, so I failed to kill him."

Uchiha Masaki crossed his arms, his expression indifferent, "Their blood manipulation technique is powerful, but it is only to this extent. It can only be said that it is not a threat to the tribesmen with the Mangekyō Sharingan. Just comparing with my own strength... I have to kill at least a hundred or eighty people to perform the technique, so that it is worth fighting."

"Are you overconfident? What if the blood dragon splits? If one dragon splits, it would cost a hundred or eighty lives to be worth fighting. What about ten dragons? Twenty dragons?" Uchiha Kenji hummed listlessly. "It's foolish to jump to conclusions without testing."

"Why don't I just kill him instead of testing him?" Uchiha Masaki said with disdain, "Why do you have to fight wits with the air and expose more of your own information, just to watch the enemy grow? Is there something wrong with your brain?"

Uchiha Kenji immediately slammed the table and stood up, "What nonsense are you talking about! The most interesting thing about the enemy is the unknown means before the fight, and the life-threatening blow before death! They are already near the end, but you are not willing to give them even this level of display?! You cold-blooded and cruel guy!"

"It's okay to be cold-blooded, but you are the one who is cruel!" Uchiha Masaki finally couldn't hold back his cold face anymore, and he slammed the table and yelled at the other person, "At least I am willing to give the other person a quick death, but you are just a person of bad taste!"

Uchiha Kenji was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth several times with a wronged look on his face, "You yelled at me! You stole my prey and not only did you have no apology, you even yelled at me! Wuuwuwu - Uchiha Masaki, just wait for me! I won't forgive you wuuwuwu - After I return from this mission, I will wait outside your house every day wuuwuwu -"

"Shut up! How can you bear to cry all day long just because of such a small thing?"

"Wuwuwu--Ling! Look at this rotten guy Yashu! Not only does he have no intention of repenting, he also threatens me, wuwuwu--hiccup!"

Ling laughed dryly while patting Uchiha Kenji who suddenly rushed over and hugged his legs and started crying, "Well, Masaaki is just doing what I said. How about you come to my house during the truce this year, and I will practice with you as compensation?"

Uchiha Kenji stopped crying and sniffed, "Then it's not compensation but punishment, right? Forget about Masaaki, I'll find him to practice with later, but if you want to compensate me, you have to find me another blood pool for me to play with."

"That will be after the New Year at least..." Ling patted Uchiha Kenji's shoulder with one hand to signal him to calm down as soon as possible, and with the other hand he tightly grasped his belt to prevent it from being pulled off by Uchiha Kenji. "After all, the ninja clans usually discuss formal matters during the truce period. Even I would be idle by then."

"Then after the New Year, I'll remember what I told you. If you don't find me an opponent in the Blood Pond by then, I'll expose your dark history with your brother!" Uchiha Kenji sniffed hard, his voice thick with a nasal sound, "Do you have a towel? Tissues will do."

Uchiha Eiji on the side handed over the towel that he had taken out and placed aside in advance, "Kenji-kun is really amazing..."

Uchiha Kenji turned his head to look at Uchiha Eiji, "...What? Are your emotions changing?"

"No, no, no, I mean the thing about you asking Ling Jun to find a blood pond for you to play with after the New Year..." Uchiha Yingsi's mouth twitched, "You are worthy of being the only two people of your generation who are praised by the clan for adapting to the times."

"Hmm? What's so difficult about this? Fighting is addictive, isn't it?" Uchiha Kenji squatted on the ground without any image. The corners of his eyes and the tip of his nose turned red because of crying. He didn't look intimidating at all. "To be honest, it's you who don't understand the mood. By the way, why aren't any of you curious about my new eye technique? This is a Mangekyo!"

"Idiot, it's better not to tell that kind of thing even to your companions," Uchiha Masaki sighed, "Even if Akihiko, Hong, and I have the Mangekyō, only Ling and ourselves know the detailed effect of the eye technique. Even if others know, they only know a rough idea.

You said it yourself, right? [The most interesting thing about the enemy is that they have unknown means when they meet you] - If the information is leaked, no matter how tricky the Kaleidoscope's pupil technique is, the enemy will find ways to target you and publicize it.

Moreover, the pupil power of the kaleidoscope is very precious. For someone like you who truly follows the rules, it is difficult to stimulate the pupil power to increase. If you don’t use it carefully, you will soon become blind.”

Uchiha Kenji glanced at Uchiha Masaki's depressed look, and silently moved back to his seat, his mood also becoming depressed. "You guys are just asking, I want to show off - and I won't be targeted that easily, I haven't done anything excessive to others."

Uchiha Eiji had a complicated expression, "...In fact, you were quite excessive with that pool of blood just now."

"I know that, but haven't I already apologized? We are enemies - what else do you want from me? I can't just give up my position in that situation, can I? Although I know that would be more sincere."

Uchiha Eiji wanted to say something, but seeing the serious look on Uchiha Kenji's face, he finally raised his hand to cover his face, "As long as you are happy... By the way, what is your eye technique?"

"Let me tell you, my eye techniques are super powerful!" Uchiha Kenji stood up again, "One is called Tenyuhazan, and the other is called Ten no Musugune! Both are super powerful offensive eye techniques! Feel free to guess! Guess the most powerful one!"

"Ame no Habakiri and Ame no Murakumo... I seem to have seen this in the stories recorded in the clan," Uchiha Masaki touched his chin, "It seems that our ancestor once used the Tenka Sword to kill the Yamata no Orochi that was causing trouble in the area, and the move he used at that time was Ame no Habakiri. As for Ame no Murakumo...

It seems that after the Yamata no Orochi was killed by its ancestor with the Ame-no-Habe-slash, the spine of its entire body turned into a sharp weapon, which was enough to split mountains and cut peaks with just a slight swing.

Although it is not from the same era, the two pupil techniques were recorded on the clan's stone tablet. Unfortunately, probably due to the passage of time, the records on the stone tablet have become blurred, and I can't remember any more information."

After saying this, Uchiha Kenji fell into a daze. After a long while, he sat down dejectedly. "Don't think about it. It's almost right... I hate your overly good memory."

"So..." Ling tapped the handle of the cane sword with his fingers, "Can Xiansi's pupil technique connect to the Ten Fist Sword?"

"Well, Tian Yu Yu Zhan can use the line of sight to connect to the interior of the artifact Ten Fist Sword, and seal and release the people marked by my pupil power. Tian Zhi Mu Yun can launch an extremely powerful and sure-hit slash at the location where my line of sight is locked, ignoring obstacles."

Uchiha Kenji's voice was a little depressed. "I wanted to deal with the blood dragon that was in the way and then give him a good beating, but suddenly that bastard Yashu... humph."

"The interior of the artifact Ten-fist Sword..." Ling frowned slightly, "So, the Ten-fist Sword is actually an independent tool, not a unique weapon carried by some ancestor Susanoo?"

"That should be it?" Uchiha Masaki raised his eyebrows, "Why, are you interested?"

"Somewhat, is there any more information that Masaaki can provide?"

Uchiha Masaki lowered his brows again, thinking for a while before speaking, "If I must say... I only know that in the records, the Yasakani no Magatama, which is also a sacred weapon, appeared together with the Jutsuka Sword, but I am not very interested in the records in this regard, so I just took a casual look.

But I still remember the location of the bookshelf where these volumes are placed. If you are interested, I will tell you the location and you can look for it yourself in your free time."

Uchiha Eiji also became a little curious, "Yashakani no Magatama? What kind of technique is that?"

"Hmm - I don't know, but the Yasakani no Magatama appears more often in the records than the Totsuka Sword. Maybe it's actually a universal skill after reaching a certain level of cultivation."

Uchiha Masaki stroked his chin, "But guys like you who don't have a Mangekyō don't even think about it. Whether it's the Totsuka Sword or the Yasakani no Magatama, their appearance is accompanied by Susanoo - that is to say, for those bizarre moves recorded in the clan scrolls, the Mangekyō is just the beginning."

"Then I probably have no hope," Uchiha Eiji leaned back with a relaxed look, "After all, I'm just an ordinary Uchiha, and I can't compare to geniuses like you who can make great progress with a little external help."

"Hey - it seems that you, Yingsi, are very self-aware." Uchiha Kenji picked up another sour plum and put it into his mouth, "But don't worry, even if you are a wimp, we will protect you!"

"...Seriously, Kenji-kun, you should shut up once in a while."

"why?"

"Of course it's because you'll have no friends if you talk like that--" Uchiha Eiji sighed, "It's because we are from the same clan, otherwise who would tolerate your broken mouth."

Uchiha Kenji tilted his head, "Really? But those who are weaker than me are not my friends, but the losers who should stay behind and be protected by me? So it's okay to say that, right?"

Uchiha Eiji: ...

[I seem to understand that pool of blood all of a sudden. 】
