Naturally, Arata couldn't say that he had already taken control of the Third Hokage and Danzo, forced them to bring the Wood Release user to him, and copied it directly.
If the Great Elder learned that Arata now secretly controlled Konoha, he would immediately urge the Uchiha clan to take over the village and fulfill the old generation's dream.
But Arata didn't want the clan falling back into Konoha's trap. He wanted the Uchiha to quietly grow on Uzushiogakure's island.
Once he reached a level comparable to the Sage of Six Paths, then he would step into the world.
After Arata finished, the Great Elder didn't speak. Instead, he fell into deep thought. The entire room fell silent, except for the tapping of his index finger on the table.
Arata also said nothing and quietly withdrew the vines he had wrapped around the room earlier.
After pondering, the Great Elder suddenly sighed.
"So Wood Release still exists… and the Third Hokage even hid it in the Anbu. That old fox is always scheming.
If he hid a Wood Release user, he definitely plans to use him.
Arata, your strength may be high, but you must still be cautious during Anbu missions.
Once our Uchiha clan fully moves away from Konoha, you won't need to deal with the Third anymore. You can return."
Arata didn't argue. He smiled and replied,
"It's fine, Great Elder.
The Anbu has many interesting things happening, and it's good training. And you know my strength.
Even within Konoha, I'm one of the top. The Third Hokage isn't like Danzo...he won't strike recklessly without absolute certainty.
And since I technically work under him, he won't mistreat me openly."
The Great Elder.....Uchiha Ryo.....knew Arata was right and relaxed slightly.
Then suddenly, as if remembering something important, his expression hardened.
"Now explain your pupil technique! Such an important ability.....used properly, it could raise your strength by another whole level.
Why didn't you discuss it with this old man? My strength may not match yours, but my experience is far broader. I can help you plan!"
Arata could only nod. He couldn't tell the elder that he knew the entire future of this world. So he explained the abilities and limitations of his Copy Eye.
Hearing the description, the Great Elder muttered while thinking:
"When it comes to secret arts and Kekkei Genkai, the strongest have always belonged to the Five Kage throughout history.
The most remarkable were the Second and Third Tsuchikage's bloodline elimination.....Wind, Fire, and Earth combined.
And the Second Tsuchikage Mu's unique invisibility technique was also extremely valuable. Shame he died, and no one inherited it."
"The Third and Fourth Raikage's Lightning Armor is also powerful.
The Third earned his reputation with it...said to fight tailed beasts head-on.
Worth considering. Their Storm Release, a fusion of Water and Lightning, is also good."
"The Fifth Mizukage Terumi Mei's Boil Release and Lava Release… plus their village's Ice Release."
"And the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release...very strong, and it grants flight."
Arata watched the Great Elder muttering to himself. Instead of feeling annoyed, he felt warmed.....because someone cared enough to plan his path for him, hoping he could go farther than any Uchiha before him.
Suddenly, the Great Elder stopped and looked at him.
"You showed off your copied Wood Release earlier...what for? You're not someone who shows off without purpose."
Arata tapped his forehead helplessly. After all that talking, they finally reached the main point.
He glanced around....this wasn't a suitable place to demonstrate.
With the Great Elder's permission, he brought him into his Takama-ga-hara space.
Uchiha Elder Ryo stood at the highest cliff of Takamagahara Island, gazing over the vast landscape spread beneath him.
"Even though this isn't my first time entering this space," he murmured, "its magnificence still shakes me every single time.
Arata, your ocular technique… it feels like a divine gift. As if the heavens themselves chose you.
It was your arrival that saved the entire Uchiha clan."
He paused, eyes narrowing thoughtfully.
"And this time… it feels even larger than before.
Looks like your power has undergone yet another qualitative leap.
The future of this world belongs to your generation.
You must continue pushing forward, Arata."
