Naruto: Evolution

The best example of this was Madara Uchiha. If Hashirama Senju had not existed in the same era, Madara would undoubtedly have had enough power to subdue the entire world.

The Mokuton was lost over time, but the legacy of the Sharingan still endures in the Uchiha of today.

Although the Mangekyō Sharingan has not manifested again since Madara's era, who can guarantee that it will not awaken once more in some Uchiha?

Hiruzen was barely a young man when Madara was at his peak, but he had the misfortune of witnessing his terrifying power firsthand. Even now, as he remembered it, a chill ran through his body.

Madara was not a mere ninja. He was a true demon.

"I must keep watching… The village cannot afford the rise of a second Madara…"

He murmured to himself, while his gaze, fixed on the Uchiha district, grew sharper and sharper.

…

[Sharingan ★☆—5000]

[Constitution ★★—10000]

[Ninjutsu ★☆—5000]

[Taijutsu ★☆—5000]

[Genjutsu ★☆—5000]

[Evolution points—5006]

After a day of intense training, when night fell and the dinner prepared by the servants was served, Gen returned to his room and began reviewing his talents.

In just over two weeks, his evolution points had once again surpassed the five-thousand mark, which meant he could improve some of his talents, with the exception of [Constitution].

And precisely because of that, tonight he did not continue with his nightly training as usual. Instead, after dinner, he went straight to his room.

Without wasting time, he checked his evolution points one last time, and upon confirming that he had surpassed 5000, he initiated the evolution without hesitation.

He had already made a decision: this time, his [Sharingan] would receive the fourth evolution.

It was not that Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, or Genjutsu were less important, but compared to the Sharingan, his priority was absolute.

Although he knew that evolving his talent did not mean an immediate improvement of the Dōjutsu, the benefits were undeniable.

Not only would it reduce the difficulty of his progress, but it would also strengthen his spiritual energy.

After all, the Sharingan and his Sage Body represented Yin and Yang. Yin-Yang had its origin in spiritual energy and vital energy.

Just as the evolution of [Constitution] drastically increased vital energy, the evolution of [Sharingan] strengthened his spiritual energy.

For that reason, he was eagerly anticipating this advancement.

The fourth evolution of his [Constitution] had brought enormous improvements, and he did not believe that his [Sharingan] would fall behind. If both were fourth-level evolutions, the impact had to be just as significant.

Bzzzz…

In an instant, 5000 evolution points disappeared, and his [Sharingan] went from ★☆ to ★★.

At the moment of evolution, a mysterious and immense energy surged from within him. But unlike the evolution of [Constitution], where the energy expanded throughout his entire body, this time it concentrated exclusively in his eyes.

A cold and revitalizing sensation overwhelmed him, forcing him to close his eyes reflexively to feel the change.

"…"

The process lasted about a minute before the sensation gradually faded away.

Slowly opening his eyes, a crimson glow shone in his dark pupils.

The transformation had been so intense that his Sharingan activated automatically.

"Eh…?!"

Something felt different.

Without thinking, he took a step forward and approached the full-length mirror in his room.

!

In his reflection, he could see it with total clarity.

His Sharingan now had two tomoe in each eye.

"My Sharingan… evolved?"

His face was filled with complete disbelief.

It was no wonder he felt such a drastic increase in his ocular power. His Sharingan had advanced from one tomoe to two.

In theory, the evolution of [Sharingan] only improved his talent; it did not grant him immediate advancements. In his previous three evolutions, it had merely facilitated the activation of the Sharingan.

But this time, something different had happened: the evolution of his talent directly propelled the enhancement of his Sharingan.

"Is it because this change was much greater? Or maybe the evolution of the talent triggered a transformation that led to the Sharingan's improvement…? Besides, even though I now have two tomoe, the difference in power is too great…"

The evolution of the Sharingan was, without a doubt, great news. However, after examining it carefully, Gen felt a strange doubt.

A qualitative change causes a quantitative change. It was understandable that the improvement of his talent had driven the evolution of his Sharingan.

But what surprised him the most was the massive increase in his ocular power.

Although he had always kept his Sharingan awakening a secret, he had dedicated himself to studying his lineage in the clan's library. With his previously limited access, he had only been able to obtain basic information, but he knew well the difference between a Sharingan with one, two, and three tomoe.

Now, Gen could clearly feel the vast energy hidden in his eyes. Comparing it with the information he had read about the ocular power of a two-tomoe Sharingan, his strength had already surpassed that level. His ocular power was at the very limit of a three-tomoe Sharingan.

"I barely have two tomoe, but my ocular power is already comparable to that of a three-tomoe Sharingan… Could this be one of the peculiarities of evolution?"

Gen fell into deep thought.

Unconsciously, his mind drifted to his ancestral lineage, Indra Ōtsutsuki, and beyond him, to Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki himself.

When these two awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, not only did they avoid the blindness that affected other Uchihas, but their ocular power directly reached the level of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

If the theory that the purity of the lineage has been diluted over time is followed, then each evolution of his [Sharingan] could be interpreted as a refinement of his own blood, bringing him closer and closer to the original power of his ancestors.

After four evolutions, his [Constitution] had already strengthened to the point of rivaling Hashirama's constitution. Now that his [Sharingan] had also completed its fourth evolution, it would not be unreasonable to think that his ocular lineage was reaching Indra's level.

Although he had not yet awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, the purity of his lineage seemed to have reached the point where it could be compared to that of Hagoromo. If that were the case, it would not be strange for his ocular power to far surpass that of the other Uchihas.
