Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

Chapter 668: Uchiha Gaiden: Split in Uchiha



"Indeed!"

The Uzumaki clan leader nods to confirm their doubt.

Everyone falls silent after listening to the analysis of the Uzumaki clan leader. Their mood turns somber from the information.

How are they supposed to fight against something so illogical? This technique defies all common senses and is almost as mythical and mysterious as the legendary Sage of Six Paths- the strongest being in stories and legends.

All of their schemes, strategies, and strengths are meaningless in front of such a technique. With just a few hand signs, the enemy can reverse the situation within seconds. They have no chance of victory against the enemy.

"Let's dissolve the clan coalition!" The Nara clan leader remarks.

"That's right! We can't sustain this battle any longer. We have fought against the Uchiha clan for the last five years and have suffered heavy losses." The Sarutobi clan leader agrees with the Nara clan leader.

"It will take us several years, if not decades, to recover from this battle. Prolonging the battle further will only bleed our vitality and might even lead to the invasion of clans from other nations." Yamanaka clan leader adds.

The Senju and the Uzumaki clan leader glance at each other and finally nod.

"Let's discuss further details at our headquarters." They sigh helplessly and relents.

Thus, this marks the end of the campaign against the Uchiha clan members.

"We won! We won the war!"

On the other side, the members of the Uchiha clan celebrate their victory over several clans.

Over these years, they have suffered severe losses and the sudden move by their enemy almost caused them to lose everything. But now, with their clan leader's powerful move, they seized victory in a single scoop.

Haha…

The elders of the clan laugh jovially and pat Isamu's shoulder.

Hmm…

Only the eldest clan elder notices Isamu's closed left eye. He frowns and asks.

"Isamu, your right eye? Did you suffer any injury?" He asks with slight worry.

He is Isamu's father-in-law, so he is slightly worried about his son-in-law.

Isamu slowly opens his eyes to reveal his white pupil.

"This is…"

The rest of the elders also pause their celebration and stare at Isamu with a slightly somber explanation, waiting for an explanation.

Sigh…

Isamu sighs and explains.

"This is the cost of such a powerful technique. At the cost of light in my left eye, I was able to turn the tide of the war."

Hmm…

The clan elders ponder and nod after a while.

"This sacrifice is nothing compared to the lives of several of your clan members. You have contributed greatly to the clan. Isamu, your name shall be passed down with honor as a hero among the future generations of the Uchiha clan."

The elders recognize his achievement.

"Isamu, the technique that you used; can you teach it to the rest of the clan members?" The elders ask after some slight hesitation.

Isamu created this technique, so he has the right to choose whether to teach it to others or not. Still, it will be another significant contribution to strengthen the power of their clan.

This powerful technique could easily become the trump card of their clan.

"Alright!" Isamu agrees to this suggestion without any hesitation.

Soon, the group returns to their clan headquarters and Isamu not only teaches the technique to other clan members but also records it down among the forbidden secret techniques of the clan.

Since the cost of this technique is very high, it was regarded as a Kinjutsu. Only members with Mangekyo Sharingan were worthy to learn the technique.

It was because the activation of this technique requires the special chakra generated by the Mangekyo Sharingan. So, in order to use this technique, the user must have at least one Mangekyo Sharingan, or else the technique won't activate.

The infamy of the Uchiha clan grew even further as they dominated the entire shinobi world with their visual prowess. However, a few years later, the powerful leader of the Uchiha clan, Isamu Uchiha, disappeared mysteriously, to be never seen again.

Even the other Uchiha clan members had no clue of his whereabouts and listed him MIA in the clan records.

In a secret underground cave,

Tch…

Black Zetsu clicks his tongue in disdain. The corpse of Isamu Uchiha lies in front of him in a disfigured state, much to his chagrin.

"So weak! So pathetic!" He exclaims in anger.

Beside Isamu's corpse is the trunk of a massive tree. Several branches sprout from the tree and assimilate Isamu's corpse.

A few seconds later, Isamu's face appears on the tree trunk alongside the face of the Senju clan prodigy who died under Isamu's hands.

"Let me reunite you with your brother!" Black Zetsu casts another disdainful gaze to mutter to himself.

"So, my earlier speculation was correct. I need the chakra of both Indra and Asura to awaken the Rinnegan. However," He recalls the ruined body of Isamu.

"A certain amount of luck is required to achieve success. The process of awakening is very slow and if I attempt to accelerate the process with drugs, then the body will explode from handling too much power."

That's exactly what happened to Isamu. All these years, after losing his left eye in battle, Isamu unceasingly searched for a method to recover the lost light in his left eye.

Isamu was blind before his death. The vision in his left eye was lost permanently because of Izanagi and the vision in his right eye faded from the overuse of his Mangekyo Sharingan.

He desperately searched for a method to restore his vision. So, Black Zetsu appeared in front of him and gave him hope to recover his vision.

However, the result: Isamu recovered his vision but soon exploded from the overwhelming power as his eyes began to evolve to the next stage.

The evolution of Mangekyo Sharingan to Rinnegan requires a huge amount of power. Ordinary shinobis with weak bodies can't bear the burden. Only someone with Asura's physique can handle such great power. It's the reason he transplanted the cells of Asura's reincarnation into Isamu's body.

"It seems like I can't rush the process to achieve instant results." Black Zetsu casts a last glance at the massive tree underground before entering into the ground.

"I will wait patiently for that day- the day of my success!"

In the outside world,

After the disappearance of the Isamu Uchiha, unrest spread among the remaining members of the Uchiha clan.

After several generations, the side effects of the drug finally began to appear. Coupled with the great power of Izanagi that allowed the users to choose their own destiny, the minds of the Uchiha clan members became unstable.

Skirmishes broke out between the Uchiha clan members that soon turned into violent battles. The bloodthirsty nature of the Uchiha clan members finally surfaced.

The clan members turned against each other and bloody battles broke out to prove their superiority. The Izanagi became a tool to achieve their desired result; with one individual trying to outclass the other.

Such a result shook the elders of the Uchiha clan. The entire Uchiha clan was in chaos and was on the verge of self-destruction.

This madness lasted for a few generations, a madness where the elite members of the clan with Mangekyo Sharingan would fight in a battle royale and only the sole survivor stood as the victor.

The generations of blood baths only came to an end with the appearance of a woman named Naori Uchiha. She created Izanami: a counter technique for Izanagi to save her childhood friends: Naka, Baru, and Rai Uchiha from the endless cycle of bloodbaths.

After they broke free from this madness, the group slowly took powerful positions in the clan. Later, they discontinued the use of the medicinal drug, since its negative effects were too brutal to ignore. Alongside this, they also sealed the 'Izanami and Izanagi' to prevent another tragedy from happening.

Now only the selected few members of the Uchiha clan were allowed to learn these forbidden techniques.

Most of the clan members didn't support these decisions, and soon a revolt happened within the clan. The Uchiha clan was torn into two factions, people who were in support of the Naori Uchiha's decision and the people who were against it.

Even after several debates, neither side refused to budge and thus a tear was created in the Uchiha clan's ranks.

The anti-faction broke free from the Uchiha control and found their own clan- the Hagoromo clan, similar to the Senju and Uzumaki.

The Hagoromo clan was named after their ancestor to show their common ancestry with the Uchiha clan.
