Chapter 193: Chapter 193: With Prodigy Tag In My Hands—The World is Mine!

After leaving Uchiha Fugaku's residence, Shūichi followed Shisui to his home, where they began feeding the crows.

"Shūichi, the Eye That Reflects the Heart, the Cursed Eye of the Sage... is there a way to break this curse?"

Shisui's expression was complex. "If we explain it according to your chakra nature theory, then theoretically, there's no need for extreme trauma to awaken the eye or evolve the Sharingan, right?"

Shūichi smiled, "Shisui, aren't you proof of that yourself?"

"I can sense the subtle changes in your chakra, even if it's progressing slowly."

"The reason the Sharingan is called the 'Eye That Reflects the Heart' is because it's driven by the mind."

Shisui touched his right eye thoughtfully. "Indeed, my visual powers are gradually increasing—as long as I keep my will and conviction strong."

Shūichi mused, "Inducing chakra shifts in the brain through intense emotional stimuli to awaken the eye or enhance its power is essentially a shortcut."

"Bloodline Limits are said to be inherited traits that can't be attained through training."

"But that might not entirely be the case. A Bloodline Limit is a new chakra nature, born from the fusion of two different chakra natures. Theoretically, any ninja who masters and fuses the same natures might be able to unlock a similar Bloodline Limit."

"For example, the Third Kazekage from Sunagakure developed his Magnet Release after studying the One-Tail's abilities."

"The Fourth-Tails' Jinchūriki, Roshi, learned Lava Release from the Four-Tails. Similarly, I learned Lava Release from it too."

"Bloodline Limits can't generally be learned because they require specific chakra nature fusions."

Shūichi had previously shared this theory, based on the chakra nature transformation principles.

Even the Sharingan's copying abilities follow these rules.

That is, even if you can copy a jutsu, you still need the necessary chakra nature to use it.

Shisui fell into deep thought.

Shūichi continued, "Of course, even if two people fuse the same natures, the resulting Bloodline Limit can vary."

"Take Lava Release..."

Even among those who can use Lava Release, there are differences. The Four-Tails uses one kind, Kurotsuchi of Iwagakure uses a cement-based version, and Dodai of Kumogakure has a rubber variant.

After illustrating his point, Shūichi changed the topic. "Shisui, you're familiar with the Byakugan of the Hyūga clan, right?"

Shisui nodded, "Of course. It's one of the Three Great Dōjutsu."

Shūichi then asked, "What do you think the Byakugan's chakra nature fusion involves?"

Shisui pondered. "From what we know, it seems to be primarily Yang Release... with the other nature possibly being Yin Release?"

Shūichi smiled. "It's very likely."

"Yang and Yin Release, with Yang as the primary force."

"I believe that's also why the members of the Hyūga clan are almost universally able to awaken the Byakugan."

"Compared to Yin Release, or spiritual cultivation and transformation, strengthening the physical body—Yang Release—is relatively straightforward."

Shūichi remembered that Indra was born with the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

He only unlocked the Mangekyō after killing someone who trusted him.

Of course, some of these theories had already been proven, while others remained speculative.

The Sharingan and Byakugan are undeniably unique.

Or, rather, Yin and Yang Release are unique in that they seem able to easily integrate with other chakra natures, creating complex Bloodline Limits.

If he wanted to test this theory...

Shūichi scattered the bird feed in his hand. "Shisui, if you manage to awaken the Mangekyō, it'll show that one's natural spiritual strength alone is enough to awaken it without traumatic experiences."

"Likewise, achieving a new eye state should be possible without trauma."

"Oh, and I also learned Scorch Release from Pakura."

Shisui was both shocked and delighted. "How did you manage that, Shūichi?"

While learning Bloodline Limits from tailed beasts had been done before, Shūichi's accomplishment of learning one from another person was unheard of.

"If it's possible to learn Bloodline Limits from tailed beasts, it's naturally possible to learn them from other shinobi too. The key lies in the fusion of chakra natures!"

What Shūichi didn't mention was that he also had an edge.

If the theory was sound, then any limitation could only mean one thing:

A lack of intelligence!

With enough intelligence, the Third Hokage had succeeded. Even without inheriting it, the Fourth Hokage had succeeded as well.

Tracing back the Sharingan's origins, it leads to the Ten-Tails or the God Tree, and one could even go further.

The Byakugan, which was introduced to the ninja world by Kaguya ōtsutsuki, came from the ōtsutsuki lineage. Tracing it back would lead to the first ōtsutsuki who possessed the Byakugan.

How did he obtain it?

Was he born with it?

Or did he create it himself?

...

In response to Shisui Uchiha's question, Shūichi placed a hand on his shoulder, and in the next moment, both of their consciousnesses entered a mental world formed by chakra.

Since Tsunade had recovered from her hemophobia, she had taken over Rin Nohara's treatment.

Besides the initial treatments, they were now using a blend of Rin's cells and White Zetsu cells, along with the chakra from the Three-Tails. This approach not only accelerated Rin's recovery but also prevented any potential aftereffects.

Without looking up, Tsunade responded, "The progress is good. Why?"

Shūichi explained, "I'm planning to divide the Three-Tails and release half of it."

Tsunade paused and turned to him, "Is that so?"

"So, are you waiting for Rin's recovery before you divide it?"

Shūichi thought it over, "Not necessarily."

"I'll first see if I can get the Three-Tails to cooperate."

Then, with a smile, he invited her, "Tsunade, let's have a meal together for New Year's and stay up late to celebrate!"

Tsunade turned away with a shrug. "If Shizune has no objections, I'm fine with it. Just don't make it a hassle."

Shūichi immediately agreed, "Then it's settled."

...

Leaving there, Shūichi went to the resting area, sat down, and closed his eyes as his spiritual form appeared within the Eight Trigrams Seal.

"Shukaku, Son Goku—you're both aware of what's happening, right?" Shūichi asked.

Shukaku yawned indifferently, looking unconcerned.

Kurama gave him a cold stare, while the Four-Tails responded, "You want us to cooperate with you?"

"To be honest, you haven't exactly been friendly to us!"

Shūichi chuckled, "That's because I never intended to be a Jinchūriki."

"So I have no need to appease you."

"But you also have to admit—I don't see you as monsters; I speak to you as I would to anyone else."

"To me, you're intelligent beings, just like me, only with a different form."

"Isn't that the fairest and most respectful way to treat you?"

"If you're willing to open up, to connect minds through chakra, we could even become friends and understand each other."

Yin Kurama suddenly interjected, "But you consumed our flesh and blood!"

"Humans don't consume the flesh and blood of their own kind."

Shūichi gave Yin Kurama a look, as if addressing a simpleton. "I regard you as equals, but I don't consider you my kin."

He then performed a transformation jutsu, turning into a Nine-Tails, and asked, "Kurama, would you consider me one of your kind?"

"You've eaten humans before, haven't you?"

"When enemies clash, it's perfectly normal to kill each other in the Shinobi World."

Returning to his human form, Shūichi continued, "Friendship isn't one-sided—it has to go both ways."

"My being here isn't to convince you by any means."

"Whether or not you choose to cooperate, I'm still going to split you apart to prepare for the Ten-Tails."

"You've seen the Rinnegan before, and you likely understand its true power better than I do."

"And the Ten-Tails... I don't yet know exactly what it is, but I assume that when it arrives, you'll all lose your individual consciousness."

The three Tailed Beasts fell silent.

Even a proud creature like the Nine-Tails couldn't deny the terrifying power of the Rinnegan.

Forget the Rinnegan—even Madara Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan was enough to overpower them.

After a moment, Yin Kurama sneered, "What's in it for us if we cooperate with you?"

"You think you can resist the Rinnegan?"

"Even with only half of yourself, the Ten-Tails isn't something you can handle."

Shūichi calmly replied, "If you don't try, you're certain to vanish. Cooperation gives you a sliver of hope."

"No one else in the Shinobi World is more suited to this than me right now."

"Our alliance is built on mutual benefit—a win-win!"

"If you need some kind of assurance, or for me to make a promise..."

After a pause, Shūichi declared, "Once the Ten-Tails is dealt with, I'll let you decide whether to stay or go. How about that?"

Yin Kurama sneered, "Kid, we're not that easy to fool!"

"If all our chakra is extracted, you'll die, you know!"
