Uchiha Kai didn't hesitate.
He immediately took out the Spirit Transformation Technique and shared his thoughts with Fugaku.
Yes—
The real reason he had obtained this technique was for the sake of the Uchiha clan.
His own ocular power didn't even need training.
As long as he lay back and relaxed, it grew on its own.
During this period, aside from stirring up the occasional trouble, he'd spent most of his days being a shut-in at home.
As a result, his strength had already reached the Kage level, and his ocular power had increased by roughly thirty percent.
Even the eye power he had exhausted a few days ago had already been fully restored the very next day.
For him, the Spirit Transformation Technique wasn't much help.
On the other hand—
When Fugaku heard Kai's words, his brows furrowed deeply.
He had heard of this technique before.
Wasn't it the secret art Kato Dan once used?
Could this jutsu really increase ocular power?
Was that even possible?
Suspicious, he accepted Kai's scroll.
A quick glance at the training method left him astonished—complex, extremely so.
There was no way he could master it quickly.
So he put the scroll away and said firmly:
"I'll work on it right away!
But Kai, are you sure this jutsu really increases Mangekyo power?
I can't help feeling… it seems unreliable."
Fugaku's tone was doubtful, but not fearful.
He had never lacked confidence in his own talent.
In his youth, he had been one of the clan's brightest prodigies, earning the title "Fugaku of the Grim Eyes."
Only after becoming clan head had he grown cautious and worldly, his position forcing him to restrain himself for the clan's sake.
One forbidden technique? Even ten—he didn't flinch.
His only concern was whether it was useful.
After all, if this technique truly enhanced ocular power, why hadn't Uchiha Madara himself practiced it back then?
Given his friendship with Hashirama, if he had wanted to learn, nothing could have stopped him.
"I don't know for sure," Kai shook his head. "The way my own ocular power grows isn't something others can replicate.
But from my understanding, ocular power in essence is tied to yin-release chakra.
Think about it: the illusions of the Sharingan, Mangekyo's ocular techniques—all are about creating something out of nothing.
Yang Release grants vitality.
Yin Release creates from the void.
And the human soul itself is a form of Yin Release.
The Spirit Transformation Technique is a forbidden art specifically for training yin chakra. That alone suggests it has reference value.
We don't need to use it in battle.
If it proves capable of enhancing ocular power, that alone is enough.
Also… the Visualization Method."
Without reservation, Kai laid out his entire line of thought.
After spending so much time together—and with him being Itachi's teacher—the two were familiar enough.
He had no qualms about sharing not just the Spirit Transformation Technique but even the Visualization Method as well.
Whether they worked or not, it was worth teaching.
Meanwhile, Fugaku was utterly stunned.
Ocular power was a form of Yin Release?
These concepts were beyond him.
Even after awakening the Mangekyo, he had never understood its principles.
But to be fair, none of their ancestors had either—not even Madara himself.
So hearing Kai's words, Fugaku felt his horizons open.
"I understand.
I'll treat this matter as top priority and master the technique as quickly as possible.
If it really increases ocular power, it'll be a great boon for the Uchiha.
Even if not, just proving that Sharingan power is truly a form of Yin Release will be invaluable."
Fugaku's tone was solemn.
Yes.
Why has the Uchiha been branded as a clan of evil?
Because of their twisted method of opening their eyes.
Witnessing the death of loved ones was the only path.
But if ocular power could be shown to be simply a form of Yin chakra—
then the awakening of the Sharingan was merely the brain being stimulated, causing a sudden surge of mental energy.
Mental energy was ocular power. Ocular power was Yin Release.
That would mean the Uchiha were not cursed, nor an evil clan at all.
This was of monumental importance.
"Clan Head, there's a second matter.
Once I leave, the village will surely act.
You must keep the Uchiha under control—don't let them be manipulated.
Warn the Aburame clan as well: stay cautious, and if possible, don't even leave their compound.
The same goes for our clan.
As for the Police Force, stability comes first. If you can't guarantee success in something, stall it.
The reason? Anything will do.
It doesn't matter if others believe it—only that you believe it yourself.
And if all else fails, go to your son, Itachi.
Through Shisui's crow, he can contact me instantly.
Oh, and speaking of the Aburame…
When I spoke with Hiruzen earlier, I completely forgot to mention them.
Looks like I'll have to pay the Hokage another visit."
Yes—
Kai had no intention of sneaking into Root at night to break someone out.
Too cheap, too low.
Everyone was already playing with their cards face up, so why bother hiding?
Better to declare openly: the Aburame are mine.
If you want me to work for you, then hand over my people.
Two birds with one stone.
First, it cut off any hope the Aburame had of returning to the Hokage's side.
But more importantly, it showed wavering clans the Uchiha's strength.
Join the Uchiha, and you will be protected.
Even the Hokage would have to let people go.
"I understand," Fugaku nodded immediately. "I'll keep the Uchiha in check and make sure our allies stay safe.
As for Uchiha Setsuna, once you're gone, I'll personally keep him under watch—live with him, eat with him. Even if he wants to stir trouble, he won't have the chance.
And if I really can't manage, I'll contact you at once."
He gave his word without hesitation.
Yes—he knew his own limits.
Under normal circumstances, he could never match the village elders.
The repeated suppression of the Uchiha in recent years was proof enough.
So his plan was simple: endure.
Endure until Kai returns.
That was his mission.
In the meantime—learn from Sima Yi.
No matter how they provoked him, he would turtle up and wait it out.
"Good. In that case," Kai said faintly, "that's all the instructions I have for now. It's enough.
The legal reforms shouldn't stop, but slow them down—drag for time.
I'll go see the Hokage now. No need to see me out, Clan Head."
