The higher the evolution level of the Sharingan, the more abilities the eyes possessed. Among anime works, the eye-type abilities with the most variety probably belonged to the Sharingan. Of course, this only referred to having the most and most comprehensive abilities, not mentioning whether it was the strongest.
Like the Evil Eye One Minute from Midou Ban in "GetBackers," and the several great magic eyes in "The Legend of the Legendary Heroes" - Copy Eye, Annihilation Eye, Future Eye, Dream Placement Eye, and Grudge Eye.
The Calamity Eye in "11eyes: Sin, Damnation and the Atonement Girl," the Distortion Magic Eye and Mystic Eyes of Death Perception in "The Garden of Sinners," GEASS in "Code Geass," and the Scarlet Eyes in "Hunter x Hunter."
The Contract Eye in "Kaze no Stigma," the Cursed Eye in "D.Gray-man," and a whole bunch of others like: the Illusion-Breaking Eye that could dispel illusions, the Destruction Pupil that claimed to destroy everything, etc.
If you asked whether there were magic eyes more powerful than the Sharingan among these, the answer was yes, definitely. But when it came to comprehensive abilities with a complete evolution system that could evolve to the most perfect state, none were as comprehensive as the Sharingan.
Precisely because the Sharingan's abilities were comprehensive and its evolution ladder was complete, once Uchiha clan members could awaken their Sharingan, their strength improvement was simply an earth-shattering change.
So the Sharingan was also jokingly called the Uchiha clan's greatest cheat.
The three tomoe in Suzuki's eyes began spinning crazily, lasting about a minute.
"I understand. I've now mastered the current Sharingan abilities. But this body's original owner really was useless - even with potential overdraft developed to the limit, it's only three tomoe.
This aptitude is truly terrible. Without Mangekyou, wanting to do anything about the Uchiha massacre is pure fantasy. Even if I used this body to face so many elites, at most I could only protect myself, let alone facing opponents who are elites from an entire village plus Itachi, a Kage-level traitor from the Uchiha clan. Never mind whether I'd have enough stamina to kill so many experts - just one Uchiha Itachi would be difficult enough with this body. Even if I could take down Uchiha Itachi, I probably wouldn't have the ability to do anything else. Wouldn't that just benefit Konoha for nothing? This deal isn't worth it."
Suzuki stroked his chin that had grown some stubble and talked to himself.
"This body has no Nen - forget about using Hundred-Type Guanyin, Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, or even Hundred Demons Curse Grudge. At most I can only use some martial arts techniques. But the Uchiha family seems to have a saying - to deal with Sharingan with Sharingan, you can only win if your eye level is higher than the opponent's.
That means higher-level eyes have suppression effects on lower-level eyes. Moreover, regarding genjutsu, I'm not good at it to begin with. With just this body, I don't know if I can block Itachi's Tsukuyomi. No good - I don't want to do so much work just to create one or two survivors. That would be too boring. Hmph, how about this - Konoha, Uchiha Madara, what do you think would happen if I split off an Uchiha clan in this world? Wouldn't that be more interesting?"
"The Uchiha clan's rebellion and massacre should be in just a few days. Looks like I need to switch to a new puppet. I don't have time to find a small fry. To split the Uchiha on the night of the massacre, the puppet's identity and strength can't be too low, or there won't be any appeal. Moreover, the aptitude definitely can't be too poor - making another three-tomoe would be useless. Let me see what good candidates in this body's memories meet these two requirements."
Suzuki's eyes slowly closed as Meruem was reviewing his memories.
"Son of a Uchiha elder, Uchiha Sasaki, a three-tomoe elite ninja of the Uchiha clan, third in strength among the young generation, only below Shisui and Itachi. His influence and appeal are even higher than Itachi's."
Eternal third place? Not bad, it can be him.
As Sasaki, whose strength among the young generation was only below Shisui and Itachi, his aptitude and potential should be Meruem's best choice among the Uchiha clan. Moreover, his current strength had already reached three tomoe. If his potential was overdrawn, he could probably reach Mangekyou. As for Eternal Mangekyou and such, forget it - that required too much, and Meruem couldn't conjure up a brother for him out of thin air. So Uchiha Sasaki was Meruem's best choice. Though Sasaki seemed to be a surname, right? His father really had terrible naming taste.
For a super elite with such good aptitude, awakening Mangekyou wouldn't be surprising.
Honestly, although Itachi was the Uchiha clan leader's son and his strength was top-tier, Itachi's appeal within the Uchiha clan was genuinely low.
Moreover, Uchiha Fugaku had once said that Itachi was the bridge of communication between the clan and the village.
This statement clearly revealed a fact - Itachi was obviously biased toward the Hokage faction, and none of the Uchiha clan were fools. From Shisui's death when all the elites questioned Itachi without a single person defending him, you could see that Itachi wasn't very popular in the clan. He was quite unpopular too. After all, what kind of leader always wore a dead face? Don't look at how Itachi always smiled when facing Sasuke - in reality, when facing others, he always had a dead expression like others owed him millions.
But then again, he alone was enough to eliminate a bunch of Uchiha elites. He only cared about Sasuke and the village, so he really didn't care about his clansmen's opinions of him.
After all, he had the strength to be willful.
"Then the action will be tonight." Suzuki smiled evilly, but combined with his not-very-handsome face and the stubble still on his face, the scene wasn't very pleasant - instead, it had a somewhat sleazy aura.
Indeed, despair for this face-judging world.
"Suzuki, what exactly do you want by calling me here? What is this secret of the Uchiha clan you said you discovered? Speak up." A young Uchiha who looked sixty to seventy percent similar to adult Sasuke said impatiently.
This young Uchiha was the previously mentioned Uchiha Sasaki. Meruem had very easily lured Sasaki out using Suzuki's body. The location where the two were now was the forest on the outskirts of the Uchiha clan territory, which was also where Meruem's true body was located.
Moreover, Meruem had already confirmed that there were no other people nearby.
Although Uchiha Suzuki was just a very ordinary member among the Uchiha clansmen, the number of awakened Uchiha wasn't as many as outsiders imagined. Although they were Konoha's largest clan, their population was only a few hundred people. Compared to the thousands or even tens of thousands during Konoha's founding period, this was far worse. Among these, at least sixty percent or more were clansmen who hadn't awakened their eyes or were too old to have combat ability.
All of this was thanks to the Second Hokage's suppression policies. Even now, the Third wasn't as harsh as during the Second's era, but under appeasement policies, the Uchiha clan was already living very difficultly.
Precisely because of this, the Uchiha clan wanted to rebel. Of course, just Root plus Kage-level fighter Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito (unknown whether he personally acted) completely wiped out the Uchiha clan.
This was the strength gap between one clan and one village. Unfortunately, if it were the Uchiha clan led by Madara, the result might have been different.
Uchiha Fugaku was, in the end, someone who had vast ambitions but lacked matching abilities.
So now, awakened clansmen were also valued in the clan. As the son of a Uchiha elder, when he learned that Uchiha Suzuki told him he knew a secret about the Uchiha clan's ultimate evolution eye, he followed without thinking.
Of course, this didn't mean Sasaki was a fool or brainless person who completely believed Suzuki's one-sided words. But his location was still within Uchiha clan territory, actually not far from the heartland.
If any accident occurred, it would quickly be discovered by other clansmen. Sasaki was very conceited about his own strength, believing that no one in this world could be strong enough to take him down at such close distance, not even the Third Hokage.
Moreover, Suzuki was a member of the Uchiha clan, and there had never been traitors in the Uchiha clan. Itachi and Shisui were exceptions - their sense of belonging to the family wasn't as strong as their sense of belonging to the village.
Most importantly, Sasaki was very conceited about his own strength. A Suzuki who had merely awakened his eyes couldn't possibly cause him any harm.
You have to know that Sharingan against Sharingan could only be won by higher-level Sharingan.
"Lord Sasaki, do you know? Our clan's three-tomoe Sharingan isn't the final form. Above that exists an even higher level." Suzuki said very respectfully with his head lowered, but the flickering look in his eyes where Sasaki couldn't see showed he wasn't sincere about saying these things.
"Oh? You haven't participated in the clan's secret meetings, yet you surprisingly know this point." Sasaki had an expression of "just as expected." Regarding the secret about Sharingan that Suzuki mentioned, he could actually roughly guess that Suzuki had discovered the fact that three-tomoe could evolve upward.
The clan's secret meetings were gatherings attended by elite ninja with three-tomoe Sharingan from the Uchiha clan.
"So you mean, my lord, you already knew the fact that Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi possess Mangekyou Sharingan?" Suzuki's words were shocking.
One sentence plunged Sasaki into infinite shock.
Mangekyou Sharingan? Shisui? Itachi? How is that possible? Why would Itachi hide this information? Why didn't Shisui mention it either? Itachi? Shisui's eyes were gouged out? Mangekyou? Itachi? Clan rebellion? This is bad!
I must report this information to the clan leader! Uchiha Itachi has problems!
Sasaki wasn't a fool. On the contrary, someone who could have outstanding appeal among the Uchiha clan's young people and strength only below Itachi and Shisui was very smart. He immediately connected the recent strange things in the clan, and although he still wasn't clear on the specific situation, he could roughly figure it out.
"Suzuki... you..." Unfortunately, just as he figured all this out was also the day of his death.
In the last moment of his life, what he saw was Suzuki looking at him with an evil smile through three-tomoe Sharingan, and beside him, a boy about seven or eight years old had appeared at some unknown time.
