Roy just stood quietly to the side, accompanied by the silent Shisui, occasionally receiving the eager and passionate gazes from other Uchiha members, such as Obito...
After a moment, he injected "negative emotions" into several people including Inao and Tetsuka to help them awaken or further enhance their Sharingan, increasing the number of tomoe... Accompanied by a panel prompt, as "negative emotions" were being cleared, Roy's understanding of the direction for developing "Dojutsu" became clearer.
Just like Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu for Itachi... Izanagi for Sasuke... Kotoamatsukami for Shisui...
Before reaching the Mangekyou stage, the Sharingan primarily focuses on "perception," "copying," and "genjutsu" capabilities,
Among which, for Roy, "perception" was aided by the use of En, "copying" came naturally with the Sharingan, and the remaining... "genjutsu"...
Since everyone, based on their worldview and life perspectives, displays these abilities with different forms and variances...
"So what about me? In what form should my genjutsu appear?"
"Negative emotions" were slowly infused into the minds of Uchiha Inao, Tetsuka, and others as Roy's hand covered their foreheads. He thought of Itachi's crows... the scenes manifested during Itachi's battles with Kakashi and Sasuke... The first word that anchored in his mind was "worldview"!
The so-called "genjutsu" involves implanting one's "worldview" and "recognition" onto the opponent via the "Sharingan"... trapping them in a constructed "worldview" unable to escape, much like now... Roy needed only a thought to let go of the protective "sun attribute" on Uchiha Inao, Tetsuka, and others, allowing "negative emotions" to flood over them, overwhelming them to the point of collapse...
Clear lucidity and blood-red intertwined in the youth's eyes; he already had the answer!
[Hint... "Potential believer" Uchiha Hachida is grateful for your help in awakening, has awarded a medal, loyalty increased by 20... Now promoted to official believer...]
[Believer: Uchiha Tetsuka... Two tomoe → three tomoe...]
[Power of Faith +1]
[Current "negative emotions" of host: zero]
The last of the "negative emotions" were exhausted with the final person... which was Uchiha Hachida, who had worked most of his life for the Uchiha clan, serving as Deputy Minister of the Police Department, and at the same time... was a beloved and trusted elder referred to by Uchiha Fugaku's father, Uchiha Setsuna.
"Buzz..." An invisible vibration spread out... three tomoe slowly rotated in the crimson eyes...
Uchiha Hachida composed himself, suppressing his excited joy, and bowed slightly to Roy, saying: "Thank you, young clan leader!"
Nearby, Uchiha Inao, Tetsuka, Tatsuya, and Ryosuke all followed his lead, bowing... thereafter, those Uchiha members who hadn't been chosen showed envy in their eyes, one and all embracing the feelings of disappointment...
Obito lowered his eyelids, patting his heart honestly speaking... whether for contributions to the clan or sacrifices made... being an orphan with no relatives to lose, paired with his usual inclination to circle around Rin, rarely engaging with clan matters, mostly dodging responsibilities... it was only natural that he wasn't chosen.
But still... he desperately wanted it, wanted to awaken his eyes...
The tribe meeting concluded in a harmonious atmosphere...
"Creak~" The shrine's door opened, and Obito didn't pay attention to anything in the latter part of the meeting, only fixating on the young man gently sandwiched between Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna. Even when Uchiha Fugaku announced the meeting's end... he stood like a log, tightly following the backs of Uchiha Fugaku and the young man as they left, only awakening when they disappeared amidst the greenery...
"Let's go."
"Let's go."
Some rejoiced... some worried... some regretted... some were excited... after this tribal meeting, each Uchiha had different expressions...
Roy, with his back to the shrine that symbolized the Sharingan's blood-red exterior wall, walked beside his father Fugaku on the way home. With the use of En, he clearly observed Obito's behavior, and, his ears twitched as he timely heard Fugaku saying:
"Obito is a good kid, unfortunately, his talent is lacking a bit. If his teacher wasn't Minato, following the clan's care policy for orphans, this time, it should've been his turn."
"Failed Uchiha Obito... Yellow Flash, Namikaze Minato... father and the clan elders made this decision not without reason, looking at talent first, then at position, leaving no fault to be found.
But indeed, is the talent of someone who can awaken the Kamui really poor?
It can only be said that the new generation of the Uchiha, people like Itachi and Shisui are too strong, overshadowing him... When it comes to optimism, in the original work, this unfortunate and pitiful man went through the death of his loved one, was later manipulated by Madara and Zetsu, but ultimately came to realize the truth, reunited with Kakashi, restored to good. In the end, he still managed not to let darkness swallow the last bit of light deep within... compared to Itachi's slaughter of the entire clan or how Shisui attempted to alter the entire clan's will with Kotoamatsukami... he was relatively more moderate, indeed.
"I actually think he's not bad," Roy smiled, his profile resembling the features of both Fugaku and Mikoto, causing Fugaku to tilt his head slightly in contemplation...
Pausing his steps, the man scrutinized the youth from head to toe, as if seeing him differently, his gaze deep and thoughtful: "Just like you?"
Fugaku looked at Roy intently: "Son, do tell, what else are you hiding?"
The youth gave a broad smile, shrugging: "Who knows? Perhaps... just this little bit."
Uchiha Fugaku: "...."
His mouth twitched, and he laughed... "Alright."
With movement of his feet, he resumed his stride...
"Step... step...." The father and son, one on the left and the other on the right, walked together...
Sunshine showered down, casting their shadows, one large and one small, slightly swaying with the breeze...
At a certain moment, feeling a strong wave of fatigue rushing in like the tide, Roy realized that his venture into the Naruto world with his duplicate couldn't be maintained. Accompanied by a panel reminder... [Alert, less than one minute remaining...]
Roy paused, tilting his head toward Fugaku: "Dad, I'm tired."
Fugaku: "Few more steps, then you can sleep at home..."
"No, I want to sleep right now."
Fugaku paused, glanced back at the youth, bent his knees, and crouched down, offering his sturdy back which wasn't as broad as Silva's but was upright enough: "Can't help it with you, get up."
With a wide grin revealing white teeth, Roy forcefully climbed onto him, wrapping his arms around Fugaku's neck, resting his face against his back, listening to the man's powerful heartbeat, he shut his eyes and drifted to sleep...
"Rasp~" A faint snoring sound came out...
The two overlapping shadows merged into one... in this not too hot but still with a bit of early spring chill afternoon, as Fugaku slowly stood up, supporting Roy's legs with his hands, steadily and surely moving toward home...
The familiar feeling of falling rushed in...
As Roy's consciousness returned, through [Deep Sleep], he returned to his cognitive world, passing through the familiar dream channel, departing from the Naruto world, proceeding back to the Hunter World...
On the Yorbian continent, roughly three hundred nautical miles from the outskirts of the coastal city of Weatherby, ten thousand meters under the sea, within a submerged Gothic-like church-style ruin,
Seated in the masterless expanse, Roy's duplicate exploded with a "boom," transforming into a flow of Nen that carried a mass of information rushing toward... the main Roy who was fighting against the "false Ging"...
The youth wielded three swords, employing "Sun," "Water," and "Wind" techniques to push back the false Ging, making each retreat a hundred meters... In his clear eyes, a shade of crimson suddenly emerged!
"Roy... has he become bloodthirsty?"
Within the spacious volleyball court exclusive to Netero at the Hunter Association...
Within the underground third-floor laboratory of the Transit Hall, marked [54-714-01], referring to July 14, 1954, first victim, twisted into a rope-like experiment, the projected image clearly reflected the youth's eyes changing from white to red...
Wing pushed the glasses up his nose, sharply noticing Roy's anomaly, speaking in astonishment, people were shaken repeatedly, almost numb...
"Not all bloodshot eyes turn fully red," Biscuit closely watched the image, narrowing her eyes: "Look... why does it seem more like scarlet eyes?"
"Old man, could Roy's mother possibly be from the Kurta clan?"
The elderly woman glared from the corner of her eye... Netero remained silent...
Again looking at the image... the youth not only had red eyes but also had three rotating tomoe, his mouth moved as though he was saying something...
"[Genjutsu: Infinite Void]...."
