"Weapons… you an the uchiwa fan?"
Hearing the word weapon, the first thing that popped into Gin's mind was the blazing uchiwa fan enshrined in Tajima's ho.
He knew it could manipulate fūton (wind release) to enhance and reflect katon (fire release) jutsu, but at most that only boosted combat power a bit. If Tajima truly counted that as his trump card… it would be pathetic.
"Weapons aren't always tools," Yao replied, shaking his head, then slowly raised a finger to point at his own eyes.
Gin imdiately nodded, fully aware of the world's bloodline logic.
"So you're saying… Tajima's weapons were two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan."
Yao gave a satisfied nod."That's right. You and Naless."
......
At the sa ti, inside the Uchiha clan leader's building.
In the clan leader's office, several figures sat in secret conference.
"Clan leader-dono, Uchiha Ryōei has already extracted the sealed location from the Sarutobi prisoner," reported the rotund Uchiha En, bowing low, his tone deferential yet tinged with pride.
"Is the intel reliable?"
Tajima didn't even open his eyes as he spoke, his voice cold.
"Absolutely." En patted his chest as he swore.
"Myo, has the control device been completed?"
Tajima finally cracked an eye open, turning to the frail Uchiha Myo seated opposite.
"The device integrating multiple fūinjutsu has been fully tested."
Myo kept his head lowered, answering evenly.
"Good. This ti… we cannot fail again. The Uchiha will rule this Warring States era."
Tajima's other eye opened now, both swirling with strange patterns, emanating suffocating pressure.
"That old Yao is still behaving himself, I trust?"
His gaze fell sharply on En, who almost shrank into his chair.
"H-he spends all day reading and scribbling notes on outdated theories. No unusual behavior."
Wiping his brow, En stamred his report.
"Ah… after all, he was once my teacher." Tajima's eyes dimd briefly before hardening again."As long as he doesn't overstep… we'll release him once everything is done."
"Clan leader-dono is rciful," En and Myo said in unison.
......
Inside the 0th cell.
Gin and Yao sat across from each other. Yao's single visible eye glinted with pity and anger.
"That vile Tajima… after years of brainwashing experints, he completely erased your and Naless's free will. He turned you both into pawns he could control at will."
"And after Myo's experints… he discovered you two shared an extraordinary resonance. When your Mangekyōs worked together, the whole was greater than the sum of its parts."
Gin frowned. "You've said all that… but what exactly were our Mangekyō abilities?"
He'd held back the question long enough — now that he knew the original once possessed a Mangekyō, he was desperate to know what powers it held.
"Your right eye," Yao said softly, "houses the fla said to be the strongest in legend… Amaterasu."
Gin instinctively touched his right eye. So that ti he unleashed Amaterasu with just a two-tomoe Sharingan… it hadn't been a system cheat. He'd actually wielded it before, so his body rembered how.
Then… if his right eye was Amaterasu, his left…?
He winced slightly as certain painful mories flashed through his mind.
"Your left eye can unleash the Uchiha's strongest ntal attack — the genjutsu, Tsukuyomi (Moon Reader)."
Just as he thought. His Mangekyō matched the great filial son's in the future perfectly. No wonder his system kept refreshing those two techniques.
Now that he thought about it, even his monstrous strength hadn't co from nowhere — it had shown up the sa day Uzumaki Mito used her own incredible strength. And with the system having fused a trace of Uzumaki blood into him… the pattern was clear.
What seed random… actually followed logic.
Gin rubbed his chin thoughtfully, already pondering how he could leverage this to get more practical skills refreshed.
"Your Mangekyō," Yao continued gravely, "is the perfect blade. One that Tajima wanted to wield himself."
"And Naless's Mangekyō…"
Hearing this, Gin quickly suppressed his wandering thoughts and focused again.
"One of her Mangekyō abilities was sothing called Kagutsuchi. It allows her to control flas freely, shaping them into attacks and defenses as she wishes."
Kagutsuchi…!
Gin's eyes widened slightly. That was Sasuke's Mangekyō technique in the future, perfectly complenting Amaterasu.
"It's as if her Kagutsuchi was born to complent your Amaterasu," Yao went on. "Together, the two of you unleashed Enton: Kagutsuchi — a scythe of death on the battlefield."
For a mont, madness and satisfaction mingled in Yao's expression.
"And her other eye?" Gin pressed.
Yao seed mildly annoyed by the interruption, but he drew a deep breath and continued.
"Her other Mangekyō ability… was sothing called Yasakani no Magatama (Eight Thousand Spears)."
Gin froze.
That was a na he'd never heard before. In his mory of the series, only a handful of Mangekyō powers were ever revealed, and this wasn't one of them.
Seeing Gin's expectant look, Yao hesitated before finally speaking:
"The Eight Thousand Spears ability is… unusual. It places a seal — a mark — on a target. Anyone bearing that mark can have their spirit and chakra manipulated through the connection."
At first it sounded like a simple control skill to Gin — useful in one-on-one or crowd control, but hardly impressive.
"You're underestimating it," Yao said flatly, seeing the doubt in his grandson's eyes.
Gin nodded faintly. He was skeptical. Surely it ca with limitations — otherwise, if you could just mark everyone and turn them all into batteries on command, it'd be as broken as Kaguya's Infinite Tsukuyomi.
But the more he thought about it… the colder his sweat ran down his back. He swallowed hard and looked at Yao.
"…Can the Eight Thousand Spears be used in conjunction with my Tsukuyomi?" he asked, his voice faintly trembling.
Yao's expression turned somber.
"That's right. When Eight Thousand Spears is layered onto your Tsukuyomi, you can pull the moon of your illusion into reality — and everyone under its light is branded with the mark. We called this technique…"
"Inscribed Tsukuyomi."
