34: Chapter 34 The History of the Uchiha ClanSeeing that his two sons, Sasuke and Itachi, were so curious about the past, Fugaku could no longer refuse and had no choice but to patiently explain it to them.
"To talk about the history of Konoha, we must first go back to what happened before the village was founded." Fugaku Uchiha began to tell Sasuke and Itachi a story.
Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha sat obediently and listened patiently.
"Before the establishment of the ninja village, that period was known as the Warring States period.The Warring States period lasted for a long time, and each clan fought on its own."
"Like the Uchiha clan, Senju clan, Uzumaki clan, Nara clan, Hyuga clan, and so on, which you are all familiar with.These major clans of Konoha today were originally rivals during the Warring States period.For their own interests, they could be cooperating one second and stabbing each other in the back the next."
"Each ninja clan was hired by anyone who paid a high price to carry out assassination and annihilation missions.At that time, ninjas could not even reveal their surnames in order to survive.Even young children had to go to the battlefield to fight, which led to a significant drop in average lifespan, making the average lifespan of ninjas and civilians only about 30 years old."
"It was in this environment that Hashirama Senju of the Senju clan and Madara Uchiha of our Uchiha clan were born."
"The Senju clan and our Uchiha clan are the two most powerful ninja groups, so the two clans basically operate in a 'counter-response' manner—when someone hires a Senju, the other party will hire an Uchiha who can rival them."
"The Uchiha clan, led by Uchiha Tajima, fought against the Senju clan alongside the Hagoromo clan.The three clans went through countless battles, resulting in the sacrifice of most of Madara's brothers, leaving only his younger brother, Uchiha Izuna.Madara silently made a wish to protect his only brother."
"Years later, the Hagoromo clan was eliminated by the employer for failing to complete the mission of annihilating the Senju clan, and from then on, the Uchiha clan fought against the Senju clan alone."
"But fate is always so unpredictable.Two families that were originally sworn enemies produced two anomalies, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha."
To ease his mind, Madara Uchiha went to the river to skip stones, and Hashirama Senju also came to the river and became Madara's opponent in the stone-skipping contest.Because they could not reveal their names, the two only told each other their names.Hashirama also learned from the way Madara threw the stones that Madara was also a ninja.
"At this time, Hashirama Senju discovered the corpses of the Hagoromo clan in the river, so he hurried back because this place was about to become a battlefield."
"After returning home, Hashirama Senju questioned the death of his younger brother, Watamasa Senju, and was punished by his father, Butsuma Senju.When Hashirama believed that this was absolutely wrong, and Butsuma Senju was about to punish Hashirama again, Tobirama Senju stopped him in time."
"Afterwards, Tobirama Senju told Hashirama Senju and Itama Senju that only by signing an agreement and forming an alliance could this endless war be avoided."
"But reality is cruel.Not long after, Tobirama Senju's other younger brother, Itama Senju, also died at the hands of the Uchiha clan."
"Hashirama Senju returned to the riverbank due to his grief.Madara Uchiha also arrived there at that time, and they learned about each other's pain."
"Madara Uchiha felt that the only way to stop the deaths of both sides was to be open and honest with each other, but he thought it was impossible because of human nature.The two felt that if they wanted the adults to adopt their opinions, they had to become stronger.So the two began to practice their skills with each other every day."
"The two competed to climb to the top of the mountain.There, Hashirama Senju proposed to build a village to protect the children and to establish a school for them to train, complete tasks, and be ranked, so that the children could be kept away from war.Madara Uchiha also felt that this would be a better way to protect his younger brother."
"During this period, the couple's daily outings aroused the suspicion of their respective fathers.Therefore, Senju Butsuma ordered Senju Tobirama to secretly monitor Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara's private meetings, and after confirming the matter, ordered Senju Hashirama to kill Uchiha Madara."
"To prevent any accidents, Senju Butsuma and Senju Tobirama secretly followed Senju Hashirama, while Uchiha Izuna's father, Uchiha Tajima, also planned to take this opportunity to kill Senju Hashirama."
"Both fathers, along with their second sons, secretly laid an ambush, prepared to kill their eldest sons."
"But Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha didn't want to fight.They skipped stones at each other and fled.Then, Butsuma Senju led Tobirama Senju to rush to the other side.Izuna Uchiha also ran to the other side with his father, Tajima Uchiha."
"At this point, the four were locked in a standoff.While Tobirama Senju and Izuna Uchiha were fighting, Tobirama Senju and Tajima Uchiha jumped into the air and threw ninja swords and kunai at them, attempting to kill the children of both sides."
Fortunately, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha blocked the attack with stones in time.Afterwards, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju came to their younger brother and both said that they would not allow anyone to harm him.
"Madara Uchiha's desire to protect his younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, caused him to awaken his Sharingan for the first time.Afterward, Madara Uchiha declared that he would sever the bond between himself and Hashirama Senju."
"Later, when his father, Uchiha Tajima, asked Uchiha Madara if they had a chance of winning if they started fighting now, Uchiha Madara told his father that Senju Hashirama was stronger than him.Therefore, Uchiha Tajima judged that the situation was not in his best interest, so both fathers led their two sons to retreat.Uchiha Madara's actions deeply affected Senju Hashirama."
"After that, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju became enemies, and day after day, year after year, they fought against each other along with their respective clans."
"As time passed, due to the passing of Uchiha Tajima, the Uchiha."Madara succeeded his father as the leader of the Uchiha clan, while his younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, served as Madara's confidant.
"During the war-torn era, the Uchiha clan, led by Madara Uchiha, engaged in countless battles against the Senju clan.Izuna Uchiha was a powerful figure standing at the forefront, achieving numerous victories for the Uchiha clan and earning the reputation of being an 'invincible' enemy."
"The two clans fought countless battles, but they were always evenly matched, with no clear victor.Then, in one later battle, Tobirama Senju seized the moment when Izuna Uchiha thought he had succeeded, and with lightning speed, used his katana to execute the 'Flying Thunder God Slash,' piercing Izuna's body with incredible speed."
"Madara Uchiha rushed towards the severely injured Izuna Uchiha.Izuna Uchiha was seriously injured by Tobirama Senju due to carelessness.When Hashirama Senju expressed his hope for cooperation between the two clans to Madara, Madara's younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, strongly opposed the matter."
"Madara Uchiha therefore rejected Hashirama Senju's proposal.Subsequently, Madara Uchiha retreated with his younger brother Izuna Uchiha, and the Uchiha clan ninjas present surrendered to Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju."
"In this battle, Tobirama Senju turned the evenly matched and indecisive battle between the two clans into a situation where the Uchiha clan was outnumbered, thus securing the victory for the Senju clan."
"Due to the severe injuries sustained by Madara Uchiha's younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, he was unable to be cured.Before his death, he gave his eyes to his brother, allowing Madara Uchiha to inherit his power and protect the Uchiha clan.Madara Uchiha thus awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."
Sasuke and Itachi were initially listening with great interest, but when they heard unfamiliar terms, they frowned, indicating their incomprehension.
Sasuke asked, "Father, what is the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?I've never heard of it."
Fugaku Uchiha seemed not to have expected that he had inadvertently revealed a very confidential matter.Most of the Uchiha clan members were unaware of this matter, and only the clan heads of each generation would pass it down from generation to generation.However, since he had accidentally let it slip, he might as well just say it.
"As you all know, the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan has single tomoe, double tomoe, and triple tomoe, right?"
Sasuke and Itachi both nodded.
"However, above that, there is the Mangekyou Sharingan, an eye that can only be awakened after experiencing tremendous emotional fluctuations.The power boost it provides to our Uchiha clan is far greater than that of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan."
"At the same time, the Mangekyou Sharingan also carries different eye techniques, but using eye techniques consumes eye power.If too much eye power is consumed, it will lead to decreased vision and eventually complete blindness."
"Later, the clansmen discovered that this is a dojutsu that can only be activated by transplanting another person's Mangekyou Sharingan, and it is not 100% guaranteed to be activated.The closer the blood relationship between the two people, the higher the success rate."
"After evolving into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the consumption of ocular power when using ocular techniques will decrease, and the consumed ocular power will gradually recover over time."
"You should know that in our Uchiha clan, those who awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan are already considered geniuses.The conditions for awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan are even more demanding, requiring even higher talent.And the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan requires not only the Mangekyou Sharingan but also the fusion of the Mangekyou Sharingan of a family member."
"It is precisely because of these complex requirements that many clansmen died with regrets and were unable to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, let alone the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.As time went by, the clansmen gradually forgot about the Mangekyou Sharingan, and most people just regarded it as a legend."
"Only the clan leader of each generation passes down such things to prevent the Mangekyou Sharingan from truly becoming history, and to leave specific information about the Mangekyou Sharingan for the clan members, so that if a talented clan member awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future, they will not be completely ignorant of it."
After Fugaku Uchiha's explanation, Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke also understood the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
