Uchiha Arata noticed the look in Shisui's eyes and immediately understood his intention.
He nodded slightly, signaling Shisui to explain the effects of his dōjutsu to Uchiha Itachi.
With Arata's approval, Shisui turned around and told Itachi about Arata's two ocular abilities...Temporal Rift (Pseudo) and the Eye of Replication.
After hearing Shisui's explanation, Itachi was visibly shocked.
He never expected Arata's Mangekyō abilities to be so overwhelmingly powerful.
Compared to Arata, his own techniques seemed almost lacking.
At the same time, he finally understood where Arata's predictive abilities came from.
Until now, he only knew from Shisui that Arata had a form of foresight, but he didn't know that Arata could actually glimpse fragments of the future.
Then, belatedly, Itachi asked,
"Then… that Akatsuki organization....did Arata-nii also learn about them through his dōjutsu?"
Seeing Itachi finally connect the dots, Shisui simply smiled.
He had guessed this long ago, back when Arata first assigned tasks to him and Itachi.
Arata nodded at Itachi's question and reminded him,
"Everything I told you earlier is true. It's not false intelligence. So when you and Shisui carry out the mission, be extremely careful."
Itachi nodded. Then he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and explained:
"Arata-nii, my Mangekyō also awakened two dōjutsu. The technique in my left eye is called Tsukuyomi.
Once activated, I can pull the opponent's spirit into my illusion space.
In the world of Tsukuyomi, everything—time, space, mass—is under my control.
Whatever pain the enemy suffers there directly impacts their real body, delivering catastrophic damage to their mind."
"The dōjutsu in my right eye is Amaterasu. By focusing my gaze, I can ignite inextinguishable black flames.
Anything touched by those flames cannot survive until it is completely consumed.
But this ability places a tremendous burden on my eyes. Using it too often may lead to irreversible vision loss."
Hearing Itachi's detailed explanation, Arata quietly sighed in relief.
Even though he caused Itachi to awaken the Mangekyō earlier than in the original timeline, Itachi's abilities had not changed.
Good. He had been worried that his interference would cause Itachi to awaken inferior abilities instead, altering Itachi's future for the worse.
After finishing his explanation, Itachi looked into Arata's eyes and spoke sincerely:
"Arata-nii saved the Uchiha clan and Shisui-nii's life.
Even though you never told me what fate awaited me and Sasuke, if even my parents were destined to die… then our own fates must have been tragic.
In that sense, Arata-nii also changed my and Sasuke's future."
Itachi paused, then added,
"I trust you, Arata-nii.
Even though we haven't spent much time together, I can entrust my life to you....
just like Shisui-nii."
"Since I know your Mangekyō abilities now, I'm also willing to entrust my dōjutsu to you. I want them to be useful to you."
Arata met Itachi's sincere gaze and replied,
"Don't worry. I won't waste your trust...or your dōjutsu."
He then activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and smoothly copied both of Itachi's abilities.
The moment he did, a system notification echoed in his mind:
"Congratulations to the host for successfully copying the dōjutsu 'Tsukuyomi'. System digestion in progress....estimated usable in 3 hours…"
"Congratulations to the host for successfully copying the dōjutsu 'Amaterasu'. System digestion in progress....estimated usable in 5 hours…"
Arata frowned slightly. In his mind, both Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu were extremely useful abilities.
Why did Amaterasu take longer to learn?
Then he realized...Tsukuyomi overlapped with Uchiha Fugaku's illusion-type ability Genjutsu Realm, which the system had already partially processed before.
Amaterasu, on the other hand, was completely new, so its learning time was longer.
Once Arata finished copying Itachi's abilities, his goal for this visit was fully achieved.
He stayed a bit longer to chat with Shisui and Itachi, repeatedly reminding Itachi to take care of his health and avoid overusing the Mangekyō Sharingan, lest he trigger the Sharingan's hereditary degeneration.
Hearing Arata's repeated warnings, both Itachi and Shisui began to sense something was wrong. Arata possessed foresight..m..he didn't need to say it directly.
If he kept emphasizing Itachi's health, then something must happen to Itachi's body in the future.
Both of their expressions darkened.
Arata patted their shoulders and comforted them,
"Don't worry. I have solutions in mind. I'll definitely find a way."
Shisui and Itachi weren't ordinary people. After a moment of heaviness, they steadied their hearts again.
With Arata's reassurance, they regained their determination.
After all, if Shisui's death could be changed, then saving Itachi's life shouldn't be impossible either.
Seeing them calm down, Arata silently thought:
"Tsunade… future Fifth Hokage. Whether for Mikoto-nee's sake or for my clan, I'll have to end your wandering soon. You've been away long enough.
It's time for you to return and take the Hokage's position. I'm sure your teacher, Hiruzen, would agree."
Arata took a moment to admire the distant sea before leading the two back.
By the time they returned, Great Elder Uchiha Ling and Fugaku had already finished discussing the clan's future.
Fugaku was to return first, while the elder would stay and oversee the construction of their new territory.
After some time passed, Arata would bring Fugaku back so he could resume his responsibilities as clan head.
Uchiha Arata seemed to have made this decision only after much internal struggle.
After all, placing such a safeguard on Shisui and Itachi would certainly protect them,
but it would also plant a seed of dependency in their hearts...something that could hinder their growth in the long run.
Arata valued their future greatly.
Once the two of them matured, it would be a tremendous advantage for the future of the Uchiha clan.
