Although he had guessed the clues behind this ambush, Uchiha Tenxiu couldn't reveal the details.
All his deductions relied on information from his past life, but now, he was confined to his home and had no way to gather such intelligence.
Therefore, Uchiha Tenxiu could only keep it to himself for now, waiting for a later opportunity to act.
“To be honest, I was already dead at that time!”
Uchiha Raimon said with a sigh.
“Dead?”
“Yes! That’s right, if it weren’t for that Ninjutsu!”
Facing Uchiha Tenxiu’s wide-eyed “confusion,” Uchiha Raimon hesitated for a moment but then made up his mind.
He pulled out a foot-long gray scroll from his pocket.
The scroll was ancient and bore the marks of history.
After Uchiha Raimon took it out, he began a three-minute sequence of hand seals.
This was to release the Cursed Seal and Sealing Jutsu on the scroll.
Cursed Seal and Sealing Jutsu are special abilities in the Ninja World, activated by combining Chakra with runes.
The former can be used for most curse-based attacks, such as control, targeting, and curse-killing.
Examples include Hidan’s curses, explosion tags, the Earth Spider Clan’s Kotodama, and Root’s Tongue Limitation Seal, among others.
The latter, Sealing Jutsu, can be used to pre-create specific barriers, protections, blockades, and seals.
Similar to Ninjutsu like Earth Prison Dome of Magnificent Lid, Four Violet Flames Formation, and Four Red Yang Formation, temporary Ninjutsu can also be pre-cast.
Because they can be pre-cast, a large amount of Chakra can be stored as backup energy.
To break these barriers conventionally would require several times the immense cost.
Due to different specializations in runes, they are divided into two paths: the former is more covert and eerie, while the latter is more straightforward, but both are quite rare Ninjutsu.
In short, everything applied to these runes is collectively referred to as Sealing Jutsu.
As one of the top super clans in the Ninja World, the Uchiha Clan, even without the Uzumaki Clan’s mastery of runes and extensive Sealing Jutsu, still possesses its own unique Uchiha Clan sealing traditions.
For example, the scroll in Uchiha Raimon’s hand is covered with a large number of Cursed Seals and Sealing Jutsu.
The former can curse any non-Uchiha Clan member who obtains the scroll, causing them to die instantly.
Even if they escape the obvious initial attack, there are hidden traps that will continuously erode their life force when they think they are safe, ensuring that any non-Uchiha Clan member who touches the scroll dies an unnatural death.
The latter provides protection, preventing harm to the scroll.
This scroll is also a secret Ninjutsu of the Uchiha Clan mastered by Elder Uchiha Raimon, and it is the ultimate secret passed down through his lineage.
Only his lineage and the clan head know about it within the entire Uchiha Clan.
“That is…”
“Izanagi!”
Uchiha Raimon stared at Uchiha Tenxiu, activating his Sharingan.
His dark red pupils, with Three-Tomoe emitting a terrifying deterrent force, began to slowly rotate.
Izanagi.
This is the ultimate secret of the Uchiha Clan, sacrificing one Sharingan as a price to reverse the distance between life and death, changing the process of illusion and reality, and transforming all unfavorable situations for oneself into favorable ones.
Even if one dies, they can be resurrected.
It was precisely by relying on this Forbidden Technique that Uchiha Raimon escaped that certain death crisis.
“In short, it’s thanks to this Forbidden Technique that I was able to survive that terrifying Forbidden Technique strike this time.”
Uchiha Raimon activated his Sharingan and, through genjutsu, explained the effects of the Forbidden Technique Izanagi to Uchiha Tenxiu.
Seeing Uchiha Tenxiu’s shocked gaze, he couldn’t help but feel a secret satisfaction.
“I thought nothing would surprise you, but now you know the extensive resources I, Uchiha Raimon, possess!
Alas! If it weren't for the lack of intelligent people in the clan, only you, Uchiha Tenxiu, possess both intelligence and talent, and you are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals, yet you also have a sense of loyalty.
Otherwise, I, Raimon, truly wouldn't want to...”
Uchiha Raimon thought to himself, then handed the scroll in his hand to Uchiha Tenxiu with a helpless expression.
Subsequently, Uchiha Raimon began to explain some key points and various usage methods of Izanagi, such as being able to not consume one’s own eyes by using the clan’s spare Sharingan through transcription sealing for pre-preparation.
This is also why Uchiha Raimon returned alive this time, with both of his eyes still intact.
“However, this method has a drawback.
That is, if the sealing time is too long, it will lead to a large consumption of Chakra and unstable recovery.
These eyes of mine were transcribed and sealed last year, and after a year, to restore their own state, they consume a huge amount of Chakra, and…”
Uchiha Raimon looked at the injuries on his hands and feet, shaking his head helplessly, “You see, if the recovery time had been even 0.01 seconds later, my hands and feet would probably be completely gone!”
“At the same time, this Forbidden Technique must never be used unless absolutely necessary.
As the Uchiha Clan’s absolute Forbidden Technique for turning the tide, it should only be used at the most critical moment.
Otherwise, even the most perfect Ninjutsu will eventually have a day when it is deciphered, and even if it isn’t deciphered, people will eventually prepare for it in advance, thereby losing its ultimate tide-turning effect.”
Uchiha Raimon sternly instructed, placing a hand on Uchiha Tenxiu’s shoulder, explicitly demanding him to remember it firmly.
“Perfect?”
Uchiha Tenxiu asked in confusion, and the next second, his entire expression couldn’t help but be completely shocked.
To this, Uchiha Raimon couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re too slow!
Although Izanagi’s ability is too heaven-defying, it’s not for you to use casually.
Even in the entire clan’s history, this inherited technique hasn’t been used many times, and everyone who has seen this Forbidden Technique has died, completely wiped out by the Uchiha Clan!”
“In short, don’t think of using it as a regular Ninjutsu trump card, because each use of this Ninjutsu requires sacrificing a Three-Tomoe Sharingan in advance, and even the clan doesn’t have too many Sharingan for you to squander.”
“Understood,” Uchiha Tenxiu said, calming down and nodding.
Unfortunately, what Uchiha Raimon didn’t know was that Uchiha Tenxiu was indeed shocked at the time, but not by the secret of Izanagi.
After all, Uchiha Tenxiu, who fully knew the historical progression of this world, was perfectly clear about the secret of Izanagi.
Not to mention Izanagi, a Ninjutsu that can change destiny, even Izanami, a Ninjutsu that forces acceptance of destiny, Uchiha Tenxiu was perfectly clear about it.
What shocked him was that if the Izanagi inheritance scroll in this world was passed down in Uchiha Raimon’s lineage and not to other members of the clan, and most importantly, that until now, this Ninjutsu was still a flawless ability, with no counter appearing at all, then, according to the plot’s development, Izanami would also inevitably come into being.
This meant that, as shown in the anime version, the Uchiha Clan would experience an extremely severe internal conflict.
And one of the main reasons for this was the intense competition among a large number of Uchiha Clan members for the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
According to the anime’s explanation, these Uchiha Clan members all wanted to use the heaven-defying perfect ability of Izanagi to contend for power and profit.
But what kind of power would make them go to such lengths, even engaging in civil war?
Uchiha Tenxiu couldn’t help but feel confused.
