Chapter 064.2: Uchiha Fugaku Actually Possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan?

[Hiashi Hyuga: Hizashi, it seems your Byakugan can only rank fiftieth.]

[Hizashi Hyuga: Brother, I'm content with this ranking. I would like to give my reward to Neji.]

[Hiashi Hyuga: Alright, I agree!]

[Third Hokage: The competition is intense! Even Hizashi's Byakugan only ranks fiftieth. It seems breaking into the top thirty of the Dōjutsu ranking won't be easy!]

[Fourth Raikage: Hmph, you Konoha folks are lucky this time, with so many Byakugan users in history. But the Uchiha clan's rewards won't be given to Konoha, hahaha!]

[Mei Terumi: Yes, most of the Uchiha clan's elders have perished, and there are hardly any Uchiha left in the ninja world. The rewards will have to stay with them.]

[Orochimaru: I have a suggestion. I can locate the bodies of your ancestors and perform the Reanimation to bring them back. Then you can retrieve your rewards from the livestream, and I can deliver them to whomever you want.]

[Jiraiya: Orochimaru, that's a rather bold move. Can this even be done?]

[Third Hokage: Orochimaru, this plan might work, but can anyone trust you? There's a chance you'll just take the rewards for yourself. After all, once revived through Reanimation, there's no way to resist you if you decide to take the rewards.]

[Orochimaru: Hehe, believe me or not, it's up to you. I'm just offering a solution.]

[Uchiha Shin: I no longer have any friends in the ninja world. I'll keep the rewards for myself.]

In Konoha, in the Hokage's office, Tsunade was handling paperwork while keeping an eye on the ranking list.

At this moment, several other ninjas were also in the office, including Kakashi and Might Guy. Konoha's two advisors, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, were also present.

Homura Mitokado suggested, "Tsunade, we could study the Reanimation ourselves. The rewards of the Hyuga clan elders could then belong to Konoha."

Tsunade frowned and said, "No, Reanimation is a forbidden technique and absolutely cannot be studied."

Koharu Utatane added, "Tsunade, if we research Reanimation just for the rewards from the ranking, we wouldn't disturb their souls or use them for combat. Besides, Reanimation is complex; if not mastered, the strength of those revived is very weak. We only need to revive them, and it doesn't require much power. Think about the rewards!"

Kakashi objected, "Advisors, even though the rewards are tempting, desecrating graves, extracting cells, reviving them with Reanimation, and forcing them to hand over their rewards—this is something we can't do."

"All for the rewards? Is that so wrong?" Homura Mitokado replied coldly.

Tsunade firmly stated, "I refuse. Let's not discuss this further. Besides, the Hyuga clan would never agree!"

With that, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane remained silent.

After all, since Tsunade disagreed, there was nothing they could do, and they couldn't persuade the Hyuga clan either.

[36th Place on the Dōjutsu Ranking: Hyuga Hiashi, possessing the Byakugan. Its reconnaissance and support abilities are extremely strong. The Byakugan provides a 360-degree field of view, allowing the user to see the flow of chakra in the surrounding environment. It also has the ability to perceive distant objects and see through them, detecting the opponent's nervous system and acupoints. By utilizing chakra, the eyes' abilities can be magnified, enabling them to see things over a kilometer away.]

[Hyuga Hiashi: My Byakugan is only ranked 36th? Compared to the Three Tomoe Sharingan, it has some advantages, but against the Mangekyō Sharingan, there's no advantage at all.]

[Uchiha Madara: The facts prove that the Byakugan is inferior to our Sharingan.]

[Hyuga Hiashi: That's not necessarily true. Our ancestor, Otsutsuki Hamura, had the Byakugan. His Byakugan was the highest level, not necessarily weaker than the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.]

[Uchiha Madara: If we're talking about Otsutsuki Hamura's Byakugan, then I'll take back what I said.]

Uchiha Madara still dared not speak ill of Otsutsuki Hamura. Although Hamura was already dead, who knows if he could be resurrected?

Madara had found a way to resurrect himself, so maybe Otsutsuki Hamura had one too.

And then there was the mysterious Otsutsuki Hagoromo, who possessed the Rinnegan. He might also have the ability to resurrect himself.

Therefore, Madara wouldn't dare offend them.

Before long, the Dōjutsu ranking moved to the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

In Madara's era, there were a few who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. After all, witnessing the death of a loved one or experiencing intense trauma could result in the awakening of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

And in that era, the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were constantly at war, leading to many Uchiha members being killed. Consequently, there were a few who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, though they were not well-known.

Gradually, the Dōjutsu ranking moved into the 20s.

[25th Place on the Dōjutsu Ranking: Kakashi, possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan in his left eye. He can use the Kamui ability, allowing him to teleport enemy attacks or the enemy themselves (or parts of their bodies) over long distances, usable for both offense and defense.]

[Kakashi: My Mangekyō Sharingan is only ranked 25th? That's not bad!]

[Might Guy: Kakashi, congratulations! 25th place is quite impressive!]

[Tsunade: Kakashi should also receive a good reward this time!]

[Kakashi: This eye originally belonged to Obito. If Obito had kept it, his Mangekyō Sharingan would probably have ranked much higher.]

"Then give it back to me!"

Uchiha Obito thought to himself.

However, he didn't say it aloud.

Still, he wasn't satisfied with this ranking. Giving his eye to Kakashi was a waste.

When he used Kamui himself, the effect was terrifying, whereas Kakashi couldn't even fully develop Kamui's power.

Moreover, since Kakashi wasn't an Uchiha, using Kamui had side effects, reducing its effectiveness and resulting in a lower ranking.

But one thing was certain: even with just one Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi's eye surpassed many others in history, proving its incredible strength!

"My Mangekyō Sharingan is even stronger than some Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Unfortunately, I only have one Mangekyō Sharingan. And Nagato has the Rinnegan; he's probably going to receive a high reward this time!" Uchiha Obito said enviously.

Then, the 24th place on the Dōjutsu ranking was revealed.

[24th Place on the Dōjutsu Ranking: Danzo, possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan in his left eye. He can use the Kotoamatsukami genjutsu to alter someone's will and the Kotoamatsukami Light, dragging an enemy's spirit into a genjutsu world entirely controlled by him, causing severe damage and instantly turning their spirit to ashes.]

[Fourth Raikage: Danzo's Shisui eye can even use such a terrifying Dōjutsu like Kotoamatsukami Light!]

[Uchiha Shisui: The Kotoamatsukami Light is indeed powerful, but Danzo's eye power might not be strong enough to use it. If he forces it, he might face a severe backlash, where the enemy survives, but he dies!]

[Danzo: Hmph, of course I can use it. If you don't believe me, come and try. However, this Mangekyō Sharingan only ranks 24th, probably because it's just one eye.]

[Fourth Raikage: It seems Uchiha Itachi also has the Mangekyō Sharingan. If he transplanted Shisui's eye, wouldn't there be two Dōjutsu ranked?]

[Danzo: Uchiha Itachi's Dōjutsu is probably not much higher than mine.]

[Kisame Hoshigaki: That's uncertain. Itachi's Dōjutsu might even make it into the top ten!]

[Danzo: Haha, do you really think that's possible?]

A little while later, the 23rd place on the Dōjutsu ranking was revealed.

[23rd Place on the Dōjutsu Ranking: Uchiha Fugaku, possessing the Mangekyō Sharingan. He can use various genjutsu, with the ability to observe, copy, hypnotize, and cast illusions. He can also use Susano'o and foresee one of the possible futures.]

[Uchiha Sasuke: What, my father had the Mangekyō Sharingan?]

[Danzo: Uchiha Fugaku had the Mangekyō Sharingan? Then how did he get killed so easily by Uchiha Itachi? Itachi wasn't as strong back then as he is now!]

[Third Hokage: Fugaku had the Mangekyō Sharingan? That's unexpected. I thought he only had the Three Tomoe Sharingan!]

[Mei Terumi: If Uchiha Fugaku had the Mangekyō Sharingan, he shouldn't have been any weaker than Uchiha Itachi, possibly even stronger than Itachi at that time. How did Itachi kill him?]

[Third Tsuchikage: Perhaps only Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Mikoto know the truth.]

However, neither Uchiha Fugaku nor Uchiha Itachi mentioned anything in the livestream, so everyone could only speculate without certainty.

But many started to suspect that Uchiha Fugaku might not have wanted to kill his son, so he didn't fully display his strength.

[Gaara: Uchiha Fugaku had the ability to foresee the future. Does that mean he foresaw his own death?]

[Fourth Raikage: It's quite possible. If Uchiha Fugaku foresaw his own death or other circumstances and chose not to resist, then it wouldn't be surprising!]

[Uchiha Madara: Haha, trusting in the future? If you really believe in the future, then many in this livestream should go ahead and commit suicide. Danzo, you should go too. The future is in our hands and can be changed. Believing in the future is just stupid. Uchiha Fugaku may have been a member of my Uchiha clan, but he was foolish. So what if it's your son? If he dares to kill you, kill him.]

[Hashirama Senju: Madara, you're still as arrogant as ever! My brother killed your brother, yet you didn't dare kill mine.]

[Uchiha Madara: Hmph, if I wasn't weaker than you, I would have killed your brother long ago! If the Uchiha clan hadn't held me back, I would have made my move much earlier. When I realized the Uchiha clan was a burden, didn't I act? And yet I still died at your hands. The Uchiha clan is nothing but a bunch of weaklings. If they had supported my rebellion back then, we might have succeeded.]

[Hashirama Senju: Madara, you're too confident in your strength. The Uchiha clan knew they would fail, so they didn't follow you.]

[Uchiha Madara: At least I made it onto this ranking, while you didn't!]

[Hashirama Senju: Why did you bring that up again? Can't argue, so you're stabbing me in the heart!]

Soon, the 22nd place on the Dōjutsu ranking was revealed.
