"What is it?"
Kenma had just suppressed his surprise, only for Shisui's words to stir his emotions once again.
Could it be that the Uchiha clan, aside from this astonishing success rate, had other abnormal traits?
Shisui observed Kenma's expression and said in a low voice, "Among those clansmen who can feel hunger, without exception, they are all individuals who have awakened the Sharingan."
'The Sharingan?'
Kenma's brow furrowed. With such a large number, it couldn't be a coincidence. There had to be some kind of connection.
He remembered from his past life's manga that Indra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, had inherited the Sage's Yin Release, which, after generations of inheritance, became the present-day Uchiha clan.
The Sharingan was the hallmark of the Uchiha clan, and also a direct external manifestation of Yin Release.
And Yin Release was a special power that governed spiritual energy, creating form from nothingness.
A person with strong spiritual energy would naturally have a soul of high quality.
'Could it really be the power of Yin Release that has given these people their aptitude?'
Thinking of this, Kenma asked directly, "I spent a few days in the ninja world and have some understanding of ninja... could it be because of Yin chakra?"
The Uchiha leaders all nodded.
"We can't think of any other explanation."
Seeing that Kenma understood this point, the rest was easier to explain.
"Based on the patterns we've summarized over the past few days, and the secret technique for cultivating spiritual pressure that you gave us, we've found that those with more tomoe train faster."
After Shisui finished, he looked at the clan head beside him.
Fugaku immediately added, "The ones with the fastest training speed are myself and Shisui."
As he spoke, a crimson light appeared in his and Shisui's eyes. The three tomoe began to spin, eventually settling into a more complex pattern.
The Mangekyo Sharingan!
Looking at their eyes, Kenma wasn't particularly surprised by this.
If it was indeed the power of Yin Release that gave the Uchiha their aptitude to become Shinigami, then those with stronger Yin Release would naturally have better aptitude.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his expression turned serious, and he immediately asked, "I've heard that the Mangekyo Sharingan has special abilities. Can these abilities still be used now?"
Fugaku and Shisui exchanged a glance, then nodded at Kenma.
"Yes, my lord."
"Show me."
Hearing the command, Fugaku and Shisui took a few steps forward and faced Kenma. "My lord, the Sharingan is the eye that reflects the heart. The abilities awakened differ according to the individual's state of mind."
"And the two abilities awakened in our eyes are too special and too dangerous to be displayed lightly in front of others. We ask for your understanding on this point," Shisui said.
Kenma had no objection.
Shisui's Kotoamatsukami was too special; he naturally wouldn't let him use it casually.
And Fugaku's Sharingan ability was a mystery, but from the looks of it now, it wasn't something that could be demonstrated in public either.
"Besides these two abilities, our Uchiha clan's Mangekyo has a third ability, which is also the strongest power shared by all our clansmen who have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan."
"It is called Susanoo!"
As their voices fell, a deep spiritual pressure erupted from both of them, causing all the Uchiha present, regardless of age or gender, to hold their breath, as if they were carrying a thousand-pound weight. Even the surrounding air became heavy and viscous.
This feeling was not unfamiliar to the Uchiha.
They had personally experienced it when they first met Kenma. Now they were experiencing it again, but this time the pressure came from the clan head and the clan's strongest member.
And compared to last time, the pressure was undoubtedly much weaker.
'To reach this level in just ten days!'
Carefully sensing the spiritual pressure erupting from Shisui and Fugaku, Kenma was both shocked and delighted.
Their spiritual pressure was undoubtedly still very weak, only at the level of an ordinary Shinigami. But how many days had they been training?
This training speed once again shocked Kenma.
Back then, it had taken him a great deal of effort to reach this stage.
'The Uchiha clan, are they truly blessed by the heavens?'
Under the watchful eyes of Kenma and the many others present, a skeleton materialized around Fugaku and Shisui, forming a humanoid ribcage that protected them both.
One was a bright, vivid green, the other as black as ink. Two ribcages of different colors appeared impressively in the courtyard.
Susanoo!
The synonym for destruction!
Although it was only the first stage, one could still feel an unusual coldness from it.
"This is the greatest power... of our Uchiha clan!"
"The same great power as Madara back then!"
"That Fugaku, he really hid it well."
Whispers broke out among the crowd.
Even the professional ninja of the Uchiha couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at this scene, stunned into forgetfulness.
No, it was precisely because they were Uchiha that they could better understand the greatness and glory of this power.
Seeing their Susanoo, a sharp glint appeared in Kenma's eyes. At this moment, his heart was filled with only joy and relief.
Just Shisui and Fugaku alone were worth him making a contract with the entire Uchiha clan.
Not to mention the hundred or so Uchiha clansmen who could become Shinigami.
'This time, I've really struck gold!'
After manifesting the skeletons, Shisui and Fugaku only maintained them for a moment before deactivating the ability.
Their faces were already pale, with cold sweat on their foreheads, and their chests heaved violently. They were in a state of exhaustion.
"Not bad!"
Kenma's face remained calm, but the joy in his eyes could not be suppressed.
Hearing Kenma's praise, Fugaku and Shisui steadied their breathing, and a smile appeared on their weak faces.
Activating Susanoo was an incredibly painful experience for the user, equivalent to every cell in the body being pricked by needles. It was not something one would want to experience a second time.
But at this moment, receiving their lord's praise made them both feel completely satisfied.
It was worth it!
Kenma suddenly asked, "When you use the Mangekyo Sharingan's abilities, does it consume spiritual pressure?"
The two of them replied weakly, "Yes, my lord. It is spiritual pressure."
"Right now, our spiritual pressure is insufficient, so we can only maintain it for a moment, and it's only the first form. If we become stronger in the future, it's not impossible for us to use the complete form!"
Kenma nodded slightly and continued to ask, "Will using the Mangekyo's abilities too much still cause blindness?"
Fugaku hadn't expected their new lord to know such a confidential matter, but he still replied, "I've done experiments over the past few days. Using Susanoo repeatedly only consumes spiritual pressure and does not damage my eyesight."
"Is that all?"
Kenma found it a little hard to believe and immediately had a theory.
"Is it because you are already dead?"
"That seems to be the only reason."
Fugaku surmised that in life, because they had physical bodies, frequent use of the Mangekyo damaged the optic nerves and eyes, eventually leading to blindness.
But now, with only their soul bodies left and without the limitations of physical organs, the risk of blindness was naturally gone.
"That's really good news!"
Kenma exclaimed from the bottom of his heart. A Mangekyo that never went blind was no different from an Eternal Mangekyo.
But the things that shocked Kenma were not limited to just these.
Uchiha Fugaku, having caught his breath, said respectfully to Kenma, "My lord... there is one more thing we wish for you to know."
