"Why is this?" Tsunade asked, "This body also has Grandfather's cells."
"Since Uchiha Madara could evolve the Rinnegan with Grandfather's cells, why can't these eyes?"
"Is the inference from White Zetsu incorrect?"
Sarutobi Asuma replied, "It's not an issue with the First Hokage's cells, but with the owner of these eyes."
Tsunade, as a powerful medical ninja, quickly understood, "You mean Uchiha Madara and Grandfather are both special?"
"Very special?" Shizune asked in confusion, "Why special?"
Tsunade explained, "This involves genetics."
"The Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan are both descendants of the Sage of Six Paths. One inherited the Sage Body, and the other inherited the Sage Eyes."
"However, not everyone in the Senju Clan possesses Grandfather's immense power."
"Similarly, not everyone in the Uchiha Clan can awaken their Sharingan, and even with stimulation, not everyone can obtain Three Tomoe."
"While individual talent and effort are certainly factors."
"Another factor is genetic inheritance!"
Sarutobi Asuma nodded and continued, "Big sister Tsunade is right."
"The Senju and Uchiha Clans have been passed down for thousands of years, generation after generation. Genetic information would be continuously lost within them."
"Therefore, after millennia of bloodline transmission, some Senju and Uchiha clansmen become quite ordinary."
Yūhi Kurenai couldn't help but interject, "Is this why the Uchiha and Hyuga Clans rarely allow their bloodlines to spread outside?"
"Yes," Sarutobi Asuma nodded.
Tsunade picked up the thread again, "However, during bloodline transmission, there can be phenomena of ancestral regression."
"Essentially, the genes become relatively complete again."
Shizune added, "So, the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara are examples of this. Their bloodlines were the closest to the Sage of Six Paths. Thus, when their powers combined, they evolved into the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan!"
Sarutobi Asuma, however, thought of the reincarnated chakra of Ashura and Indra.
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were likely not cases of ancestral regression; their bloodlines were already very distant from the Sage of Six Paths.
Take Uchiha Obito, for example. With Senju Hashirama's power, his ocular power could be very strong, reaching the pinnacle of the Mangekyo, but he couldn't evolve the Rinnegan.
The key was reincarnated chakra!
Chakra was formed by the combination of physical and spiritual energy, and it indeed carried genetic information.
This was also why Sarutobi Asuma could now influence genes through chakra, further interpreting and even editing them.
Therefore.
Without the power of Ashura and Indra, it was basically impossible to obtain the Rinnegan!
"Asuma, should all these experimental results be reported to the Uchiha Clan?" Tsunade asked.
Sarutobi Asuma chuckled, "Sufficiently powerful Yin Style chakra can awaken the Sharingan and evolve it into the Mangekyo."
"Yang Release power can turn the Mangekyo into an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. These are the experimental results."
Sarutobi Asuma declared righteously, "This will guide the Uchiha towards the correct path!"
In the laboratory, everyone couldn't help but scorn, then they started laughing.
After the experiment concluded, Tsunade and the others departed. Sarutobi Asuma, along with a clone, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel to a deserted island overseas.
There was a Flying Thunder God marker specifically left by Sarutobi Asuma.
Having mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, placing markers all over the world was a basic operation!
Arriving at the center of the deserted island, Sarutobi Asuma willed it, and the Adamantine Sealing Chains shot out, embedding themselves into the ground and enveloping the entire island, forming a semicircular barrier that inverted over the entire deserted island.
"Alright, no need to worry about being spied on," Sarutobi Asuma said with a smile.
"So, what is the ocular jutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Sarutobi Asuma was quite expectant.
Each person's Mangekyo ocular jutsu was unique, but undoubtedly incredibly powerful.
Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu, Uchiha Obito's Kamui, and later Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami... dubbed the "eye that reflects the mind," Sarutobi Asuma was also very curious about what his own deepest desires were.
The clone, however, had a slightly strange expression, "The ability is a bit overpowered!"
"Pervert?"
"Perverts are good! The more perverted, the better!"
Sarutobi Asuma became even more expectant.
"The left eye's dōjutsu is called Uka Mikoto."
As the clone finished speaking, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes immediately lit up.
The name alone suggested it was no simple technique.
The clone explained, "This dōjutsu allows one to read others' thoughts and memories stealthily. What do you think, perverted or not?"
Sarutobi Asuma's smile froze, his eye twitching. He gritted his teeth, "What kind of bullshit 'Mind Picture Eye' is that?"
"Do I look like someone who enjoys peeping into others' privacy?"
The clone immediately stabbed the knife deeper, "Then why did you develop Mind Reading?"
Sarutobi Asuma: o(╯□╰)o??
The clone comforted him, "This dōjutsu has quite a few advantages over Mind Reading, like being able to directly read memories."
Mind Reading senses and reads thoughts, meaning active thought consciousness, but it cannot access past memories.
In combat, it can be used to predict an opponent's actions.
"Of course, from what I've tested just now, if used in combat, Uka Mikoto's current thought-reading speed is slower than Mind Reading under Lightning Style Chakra Mode," the clone stated.
He had tested this dōjutsu at the experimental base before, and even the original Sarutobi Asuma hadn't noticed.
Overall, Mind Reading and the Mangekyo's Uka Mikoto each had their strengths and weaknesses.
The intelligence-gathering ability was unparalleled!
However, Sarutobi Asuma was very displeased.
How could he possibly be a pervert!
"What about the right eye's dōjutsu?"
Sarutobi Asuma asked, though his anticipation had vanished.
"The right eye's dōjutsu is even more perverted," the clone said with a chuckle.
Sarutobi Asuma's mouth twitched.
"The right eye's dōjutsu is also called Uka Mikoto," the clone explained. "Its ability is to stealthily alter memories, manipulate thoughts, and weave realistic illusions!"
"This ability is indeed a bit perverted!"
Sarutobi Asuma's eyelids twitched.
Altering memories, manipulating thoughts, weaving realistic illusions.
It seemed similar to Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, but upon closer examination, there were significant differences.
"This Mangekyo dōjutsu seems a bit random. Is it because of the different ways it evolved?"
"After all, without intense mental stimulation, there wouldn't be astonishing obsession."
Sarutobi Asuma speculated.
The clone nodded, "Makes sense!"
But in reality, he was thinking that as a clone, he actually possessed a part of the original's personality.
However, there was no need to stimulate the original with this information.
Sarutobi Asuma processed the information and then asked, "Can you use Susanoo?"
"Naturally!"
The clone smiled, and the next moment, golden chakra erupted from his body, and a half-body skeletal Susanoo rose up.
It was golden!
Cool!
Sarutobi Asuma was quite satisfied and asked, "What stage can you reach now?"
The clone replied, "Although the Sharingan is external, my chakra was used for the recent evolution, and the eyes have been tamed by me, allowing for full control."
As he spoke, the half-body skeletal Susanoo grew musculature and extended legs from its half-body state.
At the same time, the Susanoo's arms transformed from two to four.
"Next, the weapon!"
The clone clenched his fist.
Instantly, golden chakra surged into the Susanoo's hands.
To Sarutobi Asuma's surprise, there weren't four chakra blades, but two blades and two chains.
"These chains possess the power of restraint and sealing!"
The clone spoke. With a flick of the Susanoo's wrist, a chain whistled through the air, coiling towards Sarutobi Asuma.
Sarutobi Asuma activated Lightning Style Chakra Mode instantly, but instead of dodging, he allowed the chains to bind him.
"The restraining and sealing power is not bad, but it's still far inferior to the Adamantine Sealing Chains."
"However, it can still rival level 7 Adamantine Sealing Chains, completely capable of locking down a Tailed Beast."
Sarutobi Asuma felt them and assessed.
The next moment, the chains were dissolved by the intense heat emanating from the Lightning Style Chakra Mode.
"It's not in its complete form yet."
The clone chuckled.
The next moment, the Susanoo's form changed again, donning a Tengu helmet and growing even larger.
The clone then appeared atop the Susanoo.
Sarutobi Asuma looked up and asked, "Can you use the complete form?"
"Of course!"
The clone replied with ease.
He had brought half of the original body's chakra, and this clone itself was not weak, possessing the original body's and Hashirama's cells.
Immediately.
The clone clasped his hands together, and the Susanoo transformed once more.
Its size expanded, samurai armor materialized, and a pair of massive wings extended from its back.
The helmet on its head also took the form of a hooked-nose Tengu. Weapons reappeared on its two arms: one blade and one chain.
Sarutobi Asuma looked up and said, "Then let's see the defense of the complete Susanoo now!"
As soon as he spoke, a thick Adamantine Sealing Chain extended from his back again, shooting straight towards the towering Susanoo.
"Excellent!"
The clone softly exclaimed. With a thought, the Susanoo flicked its left hand, and another chain whistled out.
The two chains collided in the air with a clang, and the Susanoo's chain immediately exploded.
The clone quickly swung his chakra blade down, but Sarutobi Asuma's Adamantine Sealing Chain acted like a nimble snake, wrapping around the descending blade and then yanking it.
The Susanoo stumbled, and the blade in its hand was forcefully ripped away.
Simultaneously, the ground cracked open, and two Adamantine Sealing Chains shot out.
"Not good!"
The clone's expression changed, and the Susanoo leaped instantly, soaring into the air.
But the Adamantine Sealing Chains were too fast. They wrapped around the Susanoo's legs, forcibly holding back its ascent.
"As expected of Six Paths Level Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
The clone marveled.
Two shuriken, identical to the Mangekyo pattern, appeared on the Susanoo's hands and were thrown out, much like a Wind Style: Rasenshuriken.
However, the two shuriken were deflected by the two Adamantine Sealing Chains. When they struck the barrier, they didn't expand and release their power; instead, they quickly dissipated.
Immediately after, the initially launched Adamantine Sealing Chain pierced the Susanoo's chest with decisive precision.
"Too strong!"
"And I can't move anymore!"
The clone discovered that his ocular power was being suppressed.
The Susanoo's form also rapidly regressed, completely dispersing in an instant.
Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan Complete Form Susanoo VS Six Paths Level Adamantine Sealing Chains: Utter Defeat!
