Becoming the Tsuchikage in the Naruto World

Chapter 261: Resonance of the Mind's Eye

With Bunji's cooperation, Ishiro summoned all the sealing jutsu ninjas of Chunin rank and above from the Barrier Team.

Looking at the Barrier Team, which had grown much larger than before, Ishiro smiled and slowly began to speak, "I need a tracking-type sealing jutsu. The requirement is that it must be able to deceive the Sharingan, and even deceive eyes with insight far superior to the Sharingan."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Then, Uzumaki Yumi, who had already been promoted to Deputy Head of the Barrier Team, spoke up, "Advisor Ishiro, I wonder if the eyes you speak of, with insight far superior to the Sharingan, are the Byakugan?"

Uzumaki Yumi was now Ikura's fiancée and was relatively familiar with Ishiro, so she directly raised her question.

Ishiro shook his head and said, "The level of the Byakugan is about the same as the Sharingan; they just have different focuses. You don't need to ask what kind of eyes they are. Just consider whether it can be done."

Everyone was speechless again. Making people work without revealing the intelligence was going too far.

Finally, Ishiro's disciple, Yuran Kawazoe, spoke up, breaking the awkwardness for Ishiro, "Teacher, you mentioned these eyes... how much stronger is their insight compared to a three-tomoe Sharingan or a Byakugan?"

This question was very practical. Ishiro had only said "far superior to the Sharingan" but remained silent on exactly how much stronger, which left everyone helpless.

Ishiro thought for a moment and said, "Using the Byakugan as a reference is not appropriate; its focus is similar to the Sharingan. Let's use the Sharingan as a reference. You should consider it as ten times stronger than a three-tomoe Sharingan."

"Ten... ten times?" someone couldn't help but ask, stammering. Iwagakure had a three-tomoe Sharingan, and it was occasionally used for experiments. The Barrier Team, as a specialized research department, had participated in this quite a bit, and they were very clear about the power of a three-tomoe Sharingan.

Ishiro nodded to indicate that he hadn't misheard.

This time, everyone was no longer silent but began to discuss amidst an uproar.

Some directly said it was impossible. Let alone ten times stronger than a three-tomoe, even deceiving a three-tomoe was impossible.

Others said that the strength of the Sharingan was not in insight; in terms of insight, the Sharingan was inferior to the Byakugan, so it was not impossible to achieve.

Listening to the chirping discussion of the crowd, Ishiro also sighed. He himself was a genius in sealing jutsu, and in terms of sealing jutsu proficiency, he was stronger than everyone present. He was naturally very clear about the problems everyone was talking about, but Ishiro had hoped that with so many people here, someone could offer some feasible suggestions.

After a while, Uzumaki Yumi summarized, "Advisor Ishiro, you are also a master of sealing jutsu. You should know better than anyone that sealing jutsu is not omnipotent. It is almost impossible to deceive the insight of a three-tomoe Sharingan. As for eyes ten times stronger than a three-tomoe Sharingan, that could even be said to be able to perceive any detail."

Ishiro was a little disappointed. In that case, tracking Obito would be impossible. What a pity for Madara's legacy.

Just then, his good disciple Yuran Kawazoe spoke up again, "Teacher, I have an idea."

Hearing Yuran's words, everyone's gaze, including Ishiro's, turned to her.

Yuran hadn't been in the Barrier Team for long, but her treatment was not low. For no other reason than that she was Ishiro's disciple, the first disciple to inherit Ishiro's sealing jutsu legacy. Everyone had high hopes for her.

The last person everyone had such high expectations for was now the Deputy Head of the Barrier Team, Uzumaki Yumi. The one before that was Ishiro.

So at this moment, although no one believed that this newly promoted Chunin could think of a method, they were all willing to listen.

Under everyone's gaze, Yuran was a little nervous, but she still boldly began her description.

"Teacher obtained a Byakugan before. Our Barrier Team has been researching a sealing jutsu to counter the Byakugan for some time. But our progress has been minimal. The reason is not because the Byakugan's insight is too unbeatable, but because of its see-through effect."

"Although the Sharingan is as famous as the Byakugan, as Teacher said, the Sharingan's specialty is not insight, but observing chakra and its dynamic vision."

"Compared to the Byakugan's see-through effect, the ability of dynamic vision is actually not very useful against sealing jutsu. The only thing worthy of our attention is the Sharingan's sensitivity to chakra."

"This point is also unbeatable for ordinary ninjas because without chakra, let alone sealing jutsu, you can't even use the three basic academy techniques. But Teacher is different. Teacher has a kind of chakra that is not easily perceived."

At this point, Ishiro's heart stirred. He immediately understood that Yuran was talking about Sage Chakra.

Indeed, because Sage Jutsu incorporates natural energy, it is not easily detected. A sealing jutsu cast with Sage Jutsu could indeed evade the insight of the Sharingan very well.

Although Ishiro wasn't sure if it could ultimately deceive the Mangekyō Sharingan, he felt it was worth a try.

Seeing Ishiro react, Yuran continued, "If we can develop a tracking-type sealing jutsu that consumes as little chakra as possible, or has as little chakra fluctuation as possible, and combine it with Teacher's unique chakra, it's not impossible to deceive a three-tomoe Sharingan, or even a higher-level eye."

Ishiro nodded, expressing his approval of Yuran.

With a direction, Ishiro no longer needed the people of the Barrier Team to come up with ideas. After letting Bunji dismiss the crowd, Ishiro left the Barrier Team.

Time was tight. Ishiro went directly to the Sage Jutsu training area, immediately entered Sage Mode, and then, with the Sage face markings covering half his face, he left Iwagakure.

Along the way, Ishiro constantly thought about how to track Obito.

That same day, Ishiro arrived in the Land of Waves. With the help of his flight ninjutsu, he easily discovered the movements of the Mist ninjas. The process was simple because the Mist ninjas had barely hidden their tracks.

"No wonder Kakashi could get Rin out so easily," Ishiro pursed his lips.

Looking down at the Mist ninjas who thought their plan was succeeding, pretending to track Kakashi and Rin, Ishiro did not disturb them. Instead, he circled the periphery several times and finally found a lone Mist ninja.

...

It had been some time since Obito Uchiha was rescued by Madara. During this period, the carefree Obito had been recovering from his injuries while playfully roughhousing with several White Zetsu clones.

Until this day, when he was suddenly told that Rin was in danger. Obito, who could no longer sit still, desperately rushed towards Kakashi and Rin's location with the help of a White Zetsu clone.

But it was a pity. In the end, what Obito saw was everything Madara had arranged long ago: his best friend killing the person he loved. It was unknown whether the pain of losing his love was greater, or the pain of being betrayed by his best friend was worse. Under this double blow, Obito, as if skipping a grade, directly awakened his Mangekyō.

At this time, in the sky above the area where Kakashi and Rin were fighting, Ishiro had been observing with his Mind's Eye and sensory ninjutsu. He had already discovered Obito's arrival. To be honest, Obito, wrapped in White Zetsu, had a strong ability to hide his presence. If not for Obito running all the way here, causing no small commotion, Ishiro really wouldn't have discovered him.

But the moment the Mangekyō awakened, Ishiro clearly felt that sinister chakra fluctuation. This level of chakra had indeed reached the Kage-level.

"The incredible Sharingan." Even though Ishiro had seen the original story, he was still very shocked by this scene. A moment ago, the chakra intensity of the emotionally volatile Obito was only at the Chunin level, but in the next moment, he already had the strength of a Kage.

The bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths was too unbeatable!

It was also at this moment that Ishiro's Mind's Eye seemed to have a slight connection with some existence. It was just that this connection was very brief, fleeting in an instant.

If not for Ishiro having Kage-level strength and Kage-level perception, perhaps this fleeting sensation would have been ignored by him.

"The Mind's Eye? That's right, it's the Mind's Eye!" Ishiro carefully savored the feeling from just now. There was no mistake; it must be the Mind's Eye. His Mind's Eye had resonated with a certain existence.

The opening of the Mind's Eye had been an accident for Ishiro. Back then, Ishiro was almost petrified by natural energy and awakened the S-rank ninjutsu, the Mind's Eye, in a desperate situation.

But after that, the Mind's Eye had never changed again. Although its sensing range had increased slightly, compared to the terrifying speed of Ishiro's strength improvement, this bit of change was completely negligible.

Until today, Ishiro, who had almost trained his Mind's Eye into an instinct, had unexpectedly discovered a slight change in it.

That feeling, it was as if someone had opened a door for him. In that instant, his Mind's Eye communicated with some unknown existence and then drew some power from that unknown place.

Although he hadn't experimented, Ishiro was sure that his Mind's Eye had been significantly enhanced.

"What's going on? The Mind's Eye should just be a ninjutsu, not a bloodline inheritance like the Byakugan or Sharingan. Why would there be this kind of change?"

Completely baffled, Ishiro looked at Obito, who was rampaging below, and suddenly had a guess, "Could it be, could it be because Obito awakened his Mangekyō? The moment the Mangekyō awakened, it communicated with some existence, allowing my Mind's Eye to benefit from it as well?"

Ishiro couldn't be sure, and there was no time to delve into it now because Obito below had already begun his slaughter.

Back then, the biggest reason Ishiro chose to learn the S-rank ninjutsu, the Mind's Eye, was to use it to detect space-time ninjutsu, with the main target being Obito Uchiha.

Now that Obito was right in front of him, Ishiro certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity. After the strange feeling of his Mind's Eye ended, Ishiro began to sense Obito's state.

It was effective, and also ineffective. When Obito was phased out, the Mind's Eye couldn't capture his chakra. When he became tangible, the Mind's Eye could capture his chakra.

From the purpose of countering space-time ninjutsu, the Mind's Eye couldn't do it. But from the perspective of judging the enemy's state, the Mind's Eye was sufficient.

Although he had long known that Obito's Mangekyō had space-time abilities, after seeing it with his own eyes, Ishiro was still amazed. This kind of ability to be innately invincible was much more practical than his own need to fly into the air to dodge attacks.

The completely irrational Obito Uchiha was now using his ultimate ability. Below, except for Kakashi and Rin, all the Mist ninjas were being brutally slaughtered by Obito.

There was not a single intact corpse. At the same time, the blood from the corpses flowed everywhere. In the end, Rin and Kakashi were almost soaked in blood.

At first, Obito was not stained by the blood due to his own phasing. But in the end, when he touched Rin, Obito deactivated his phasing, and so his bare feet inevitably touched the blood.

It was at this moment that, unnoticed by Obito, some blood controlled by Ishiro's sealing jutsu successfully stuck to Obito's ankle.

This blood was from the Mist ninja Ishiro had captured on the periphery earlier. Ishiro had previously used Sage Chakra to cast a tracking-type sealing jutsu within this Mist ninja's body. The recording location of the sealing jutsu was right in this ninja's blood.

Neither the already irrational Obito nor the panicked Mist ninjas had noticed that another terrified, speechless Mist Genin had been added to their midst.

Afterward, as Ishiro had expected, this Mist Genin, along with the other ninjas, was directly dismembered by the rampaging Obito. His blood, under Ishiro's control, slowly flowed to Obito's side and finally successfully attached to his ankle.

And neither Obito nor the White Zetsu enveloping him noticed any of this.

Although there was a strange development with his Mind's Eye, the ultimate goal was still achieved. Ishiro breathed a sigh of relief and did not move rashly. Obito was emotionally unstable right now. He hadn't noticed him yet. It would be bad if he moved rashly and attracted his attention.
