It's only under extreme stimulation that there's even a tiny possibility of awakening it.
But, Uchiha Jin...
How should I put it?
He's such an extremely calm guy; what kind of stimulation could he possibly receive?
So, why?
They couldn't quite understand it!
Especially Shisui, who couldn't help but speak up.
"Jin-kun, can you tell us?"
"According to the clan's records, only when the brain receives intense stimulation is there a chance to awaken the Mangekyo."
"You weren't stimulated, so what's going on?"
That's right.
Nara Kazama and Hyuga Aya were fine; after all, they didn't have the Sharingan, so at most, they were just surprised… But he was different!
As an Uchiha, who wouldn't want to awaken the Mangekyo?
Plus, his relationship with Jin-kun was quite close, so he naturally chose to ask directly.
Uchiha Jin, hearing this, couldn't help but smile.
"Brain stimulation?"
"That's just the external manifestation of the Sharingan; in essence, the Sharingan is no different from ordinary ninjutsu."
"Ordinary ninjutsu is divided into basic elements like Fire, Lightning, Earth, Water, and Wind, while we, the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan, are naturally able to use two other types of energy."
"Respectively, the Senju's Yang Release and the Uchiha's Yin Release."
"When the Senju's Yang Release is developed to its limit, the result is a powerful physique. If Yang Release is fused with Earth Release and Water Release, it can transform into Hashirama Senju's Wood Release."
"Why didn't anyone else in the Senju Clan awaken Wood Release besides Hashirama Senju? I think the essence lies here."
"Not only do Yang Release, Water Release, and Earth Release need to be cultivated to their peak, but the most crucial thing is to fuse these three energy attributes."
"As for us Uchiha, what we need is Yin Release!"
"It's just that the Uchiha don't have a specialized technique for cultivating Yin Release, and when a person receives significant stimulation, their brain naturally produces a huge amount of Yin Release energy."
"And the reason I could awaken the Sharingan, and even the Mangekyo, is because I found a simple path."
"That is, the Visualization Method!"
"Find an object in daily life, the simpler the better. Close your eyes and try to sketch its appearance in your mind."
"The more detailed, the better!"
"Then, visualize it every day."
"…"
Uchiha Jin clearly understood Shisui's true objective.
It's just that...
He also didn't understand the method for cultivating Yin Release!
After all, he just had to slack off, and with the system's help, Yin Release would cultivate itself.
So, there was no choice.
He could only recall the novels he read in his previous life while tentatively teaching Shisui a method.
This so-called Visualization Method was the divine soul cultivation method from 'Yang Shen'.
Divine soul and Yin Release, they lead to the same destination.
Whether it would succeed or not, he didn't know.
But using it to fool Shisui was unavoidable.
Because he hadn't experienced any mental stimulation, if he didn't have an explanation, how would the Uchiha Clan view him?
And how would the Konoha Hokage's higher-ups view him?
He had to make something up!
As for you not being able to cultivate it, what does that have to do with me?
It's just, sorry Shisui!
But, it doesn't matter.
Once he gets a real cultivation method from the system, he'll compensate Shisui then.
Chapter 57: Planning the Present, Laying Out the Future
Yin Release, Yang Release, Visualization Method?
How could ordinary people have heard of these unfamiliar terms?
But Uchiha Jin's success proved that these things were indeed real.
"So, that's how it is."
"It seems that our Uchiha Clan is not a cursed clan at all; it's just that we inherently possess this Yin Release energy."
"Jin-kun, thank you."
"I will definitely work hard to cultivate and strive to awaken the Mangekyo as soon as possible."
Shisui looked solemn.
That's right.
Before today, he had always believed that the Uchiha were a clan cursed by the heavens.
Otherwise, why would they only awaken the cursed Sharingan under immense sorrow?
But, now...
Through Uchiha Jin's words, he finally understood completely.
It turned out that his clan was not cursed; it was just that the clan inherently possessed Yin Release, and there was no cultivation method for this energy, so they could only fully activate the Yin Release within their bodies and awaken the Sharingan dōjutsu when subjected to intense stimulation!
And the most important thing now was that Uchiha Jin had also given him a method.
That is, the Visualization Method!
He completely made up his mind that from now on, whenever he had time, he would quickly try to cultivate it.
"Jin-kun, you are truly a genius." Nara Kazama couldn't help but say, "To be able to figure out the problem on your own and even find a solution."
Hyuga Aya sighed.
She also hadn't expected that Uchiha Jin, who previously seemed unremarkable and blended in with everyone, was actually the most talented powerhouse.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but nod.
"Jin-kun is indeed amazing."
However...
Uchiha Jin felt a bit awkward about everyone's compliments.
Genius my ass!
If it weren't for the system's help, he would at most be an ordinary Jonin in this life.
When Uchiha Itachi, that filial son, annihilated the clan, he would just be someone cut down with a single blade.
"Alright, let's not talk about this." Uchiha Jin shook his head, "Has anything else happened these past few days while I was unconscious?"
Nara Kazama didn't think much of it.
Seeing Uchiha Jin speak, he recounted almost everything that had happened in the past few days.
In summary...
On the Whirlpool Country front, Kirigakure was either annihilated or captured.
The Konoha army had already advanced into the interior of the Water Country yesterday via more than twenty large ships, and had now established a forward base camp.
However, they did not attack.
Instead, they dispatched a negotiation team led by Koharu Utatane, who were now engaged in negotiations with Kirigakure.
As for their squad...
The Hokage personally issued an order: Kazama and Aya were promoted to Chunin, and Shisui was promoted to Jonin.
Considering Uchiha Jin's great contributions, he was specially approved for promotion to Special Jonin.
After the negotiations with Kirigakure concluded, their squad would return to Konoha with the main army for rest and recuperation.
