“Fortunately, these abilities that pose a threat to me are either hidden or buried, so once I develop, I won’t fear them at all!” Uchiha Tenxiu secretly celebrated in his heart, filled with confidence in his own Dojutsu.
He knew well that while abilities like Uchiha Itachi’s and Uchiha Shisui’s were beyond ordinary imagination, they fundamentally belonged to the realm of Ninjutsu and followed its principles. This meant that even Ninja of the same level could find ways to counter and break these abilities, just as Uchiha Itachi once said: Every Jutsu has its weakness.
For example, Tsukuyomi’s mental attack can be defended against by using a substitute. Amaterasu, the strongest physical attack, can be dodged with the Orochi-style Substitution Jutsu.
For example, Kotoamatsukami, which can change an enemy’s mental thoughts and will, becomes ineffective once the power gap is too large. Even precognition can avoid it, and failing that, simply avoiding meeting the user can prevent falling victim to it.
Furthermore.
Even Uchiha Obito’s Kamui, when compared to Uchiha Itachi’s and Shisui’s abilities, merely had different points of emphasis.
Although Kamui appeared more powerful in some aspects, it also had inherent limitations; otherwise, Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze wouldn’t have been able to toy with him in so many varied ways.
Even if Uchiha Obito retrieved his Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan, it only achieved Kage-level offensive power through specific means, without completely breaking his own limits. His weaknesses still existed and could be exploited in various ways.
Surprisingly, Uchiha Hikari’s Mangekyo Sharingan was an absolute mechanism monster! Once the mechanism was triggered, it could almost instantly kill any Ninja below Six Paths Level and those without Six Paths abilities.
One of the abilities of this Mangekyo Sharingan was Engraved Tsukuyomi. Through this ability, Uchiha Hikari could project his powerful Dojutsu onto the moon, thereby marking everyone in the entire world with an engraved mark. This engraved mark was like an invisible imprint, deeply branded onto everyone’s body.
Another astonishing ability was Eight Thousand Spears. The power of Eight Thousand Spears lay in its ability to completely brainwash, hypnotize, and mentally control those who had been marked. This meant that if Uchiha Hikari wished, he could easily manipulate their thoughts and actions, turning them into his puppets.
Even more terrifying, if Uchiha Hikari wasn’t content with merely controlling their minds, but chose to extract their Chakra, then once he used this technique to extract the Chakra of the entire world, its power would instantly swell to near Six Paths Level, possibly even reaching true Six Paths Level!
Without Six Paths Level power, and without a Six Paths Dojutsu like the Rinnegan, one cannot resist Engraved Tsukuyomi. If one cannot resist Engraved Tsukuyomi, their thoughts can be freely altered, and their entire Chakra can be extracted. Once their entire Chakra is extracted, they will no longer have any ability to resist.
They become a lamb to be slaughtered.
In the original side story, Uchiha Hikari projected his Engraved Tsukuyomi onto the entire Ninja World through the moon’s reflection, allowing him to preemptively remember and steal Chakra from the entire Ninja World. If it weren’t for a series of leniencies like mental flaws, basically the entire Ninja World would have been wiped out by this technique. Even Momoshiki’s replicated scientific prosthetic eye Sharingan, by leveraging the replication ability of Eight Thousand Spears, could suppress Naruto and Sasuke’s combined attacks.
If Uchiha Hikari hadn’t turned against him, Naruto and Sasuke would likely have been annihilated by Momoshiki.
One must know that at that time, Naruto and Sasuke’s power had already surpassed the peak Kage-level and reached another tier.
Yet, they were no match for Momoshiki, who utilized Eight Thousand Spears.
This illustrates the counter-mechanisms at play.
Compared to Uchiha Hikari’s mechanisms, Uchiha Tenxiu’s Dojutsu is a complete numerical anomaly, capable of continuously and expansively enhancing his overall power. It’s a growth-type ability; while it might not be as good as Uchiha Hikari’s Dojutsu in the early stages, once it reaches the later stages, the opponent won’t be able to catch up even if they tried their hardest.
Among them, Uchiha Tenxiu’s twin eye abilities are: the left eye, Double Ershen, and the right eye, Double Zhi God.
Unlike the conventional Mangekyo Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, the abilities of the twin eyes awakened by Uchiha Tenxiu, though also named after deities from Japanese mythology, possess a unique quality.
Generally speaking, after an Uchiha Clan member awakens their Mangekyo Sharingan, each eye gains a Dojutsu named after a so-called god. For example, Uchiha Itachi’s Mangekyo Sharingan has Tsukuyomi in his left eye and Amaterasu in his right. However, Uchiha Tenxiu’s situation is not like this.
The Dojutsu contained within his twin eyes appears to have only one divine name, but in reality, it is composed of two divine names.
This forms a stark contrast to other Uchiha members, whose twin eyes each possess a single divine name Dojutsu.
In his previous life, Uchiha Tenxiu had dabbled in Japanese mythology. Through in-depth study and comparison of these stories, he gradually uncovered the secret hidden behind these eyes.
It turned out that these seemingly singular divine name Dojutsu were actually each composed of a pair of divine names.
For example, the Double Ershen is jointly formed by the two divine names, Ubijini and Suhijini.
Ubijini, also known as the Mud-Boiling God, is a male deity; while Suhijini, also known as the Sand-Boiling God, is Ubijini’s sister.
Combined, they are the Double Ershen.
Representing the gods of mud, where earth and water combine into thick mud, forming the prototype of the world.
And Double Zhi God is the same.
Among them are Tsunugui (male deity) and Ikugui (sister).
Representing the gods of plant roots beginning to sprout. At this point, plant sprouts have emerged, and the white stems support the earth, becoming the center of the world, symbolizing the formation of life.
In Uchiha Tenxiu’s understanding of this myth.
In the creation of heaven and earth, there were three gods: Amenominakanushi, who first formed in Takamagahara, followed by Takamimusubi and Kamimusubi. After these three creation gods retired, Kaminashino Mikoto and Ame-no-Tokotachi-no-Mikoto appeared.
These five gods symbolize the fundamental principles of the universe, appearing and then disappearing. Only then were the Seven Generations of the Age of Gods born, totaling twelve divine names. The divine names possessed by Uchiha Tenxiu’s Mangekyo Sharingan Dojutsu are the third and fourth generation gods.
Among them, the first and second generations were solitary gods, without gender or yin-yang distinctions, but from the third to the seventh generations, all had yin-yang and gender distinctions.
The third generation is the Double Ershen, representing the gods of mud, where earth and water combine into thick mud, forming the prototype of the world.
The fourth generation, Double Zhi God, is also the same.
Among them, Tsunugui and Ikugui represent the gods of plant roots beginning to sprout.
At this point, plant sprouts have emerged, and the white stems support the earth, becoming the center of the world. It also signifies the separation of yin and yang in all things, symbolizing gestation and the absorption of vitality.
Therefore, the Dojutsu of these four gods combined in his twin eyes gave Uchiha Tenxiu seemingly two abilities, but in reality, they can be combined with each other, possessing multiple Dojutsu abilities.
Among them, the Dojutsu ability of the left eye—Double Ershen—as Uchiha Tenxiu boasted to Uchiha Sakurako, grants Uchiha Tenxiu a space of approximately 1 kilometer. This space is completely chaotic, with no distinct boundaries or structure. In the upper and lower central positions of the space, a large amount of matter composed of water and mud floats.
This space possesses the characteristic of continuous growth. The mixture of water and earth fills the center of the entire world, but it is not yet fully constructed. To truly become a complete world, Uchiha Tenxiu himself needs to continuously fill it with matter and combine it.
When Uchiha Tenxiu first entered this space, he also floated in mid-air. He was surprised to find that the portion of water-earth mixture near high altitude was filled with bright light, while the lower portion appeared dark and lightless. With a thought, the upper portion of water and earth began to gradually separate; the water transformed into a surface of water surrounding the ground, while the earth condensed into solid ground, dividing the entire space into two.
When Uchiha Tenxiu looked up at the bright land above him, his mind couldn’t help but conjure a place full of life and hope—Heaven.
However, when his gaze shifted to the dark land below, his thoughts were drawn to another legendary realm—the Underworld.
