Chapter 258 - Chapter 4: Land of Demons Road (Part 1)_2

The left eye's pupil technique 'Amenohoakari' can incinerate the flesh, while the right eye's pupil technique 'Ponotsaki no mikoto' can produce flames that consume the soul.

The body and soul attacked by these two pupil techniques will sustain injuries that even advanced medical ninjutsu cannot heal.

However, due to the powerful nature of these techniques, there are many restrictions on their use.

Thus, a 'use with caution' warning is included at the end.

This isn't a forbidden technique that can be used at will; the practitioner must carefully execute it.

Looking further down, there's a record of a forbidden technique named 'Susanoo'.

This is also a kinjutsu that only a ninja with the Mangekyo Sharingan can perform.

It materializes a massive amount of chakra, transforming it into a giant figure that envelops the practitioner's body, combining offense and defense, invincible, described as the God of Destruction that annihilates all things.

It possesses the ultimate defense and destructive power.

Seeing this, Hakushi couldn't quite feel the specific might of Susanoo.

If the power of the pupil technique lies in its unique attributes and inevitable nature, allowing Hakushi to directly feel the strength of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

But this 'Susanoo' technique seems... somewhat ordinary?

Perhaps it's due to the lack of direct experience, leading to a lacking understanding of that part.

But since it's also a technique that can only be activated in the Mangekyo Sharingan state, it should also be a powerful jutsu.

That's what Hakushi thought.

Finally, there are some limitation notes on the use of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Such as while possessing these powerful pupil techniques, it imposes a heavy burden on the user's vision and body.

Excessive use can lead to blindness and the decline of bodily functions.

Therefore, the 'use with caution' warning appears again here.

"Excessive emotions, once lost, will lead to berserk... truly a cursed eye..."

The greatest suffering for humans is not never having, but losing what they once had.

Understanding what love is, and then losing it, accompanies the emergence of intense negative emotions, plunging into darkness.

The deeper the darkness, the stronger the power becomes.

Even if Hakushi doesn't want to label these eyes as 'cursed,' he couldn't find a more fitting term.

Hakushi smiled wryly.

Unexpectedly, such fearful taboos are hidden within the Uchiha Race.

What should be done?

Hakushi tapped his fingers on the desk, starting to ponder.

Honestly, even he, after seeing these, believes that the ninja of the Uchiha Race are an extremely dangerous symbol.

When thinking of the leader of Root, Shimura Danzo, targeting the Uchiha Race in such a way, it seems not without reason.

However, simply eliminating people doesn't solve anything; it treats the symptoms, not the cause.

The key is how to teach the Uchiha to control these negative emotions and express them rather than suppressing them and bearing it all alone.

After all, the Uchiha are not born evil; with proper guidance, the situation should improve significantly.

"In the end, it boils down to education..."

Hakushi took out a sealed file from the drawer, extracting a document labeled 'The Sixth Psychological Observation Record of Active Konoha Ninjas.'

There are a total of one hundred ninjas recorded inside.

This was an item of work observed while in Konoha, including personal observations and contacts, as well as treatment records of ninjas with psychological issues found at Konoha Hospital, copying their information and organizing it into a booklet for easy trend observation.

These one hundred are the most typical representatives, commonly having issues like disillusionment, frustration, and a predilection for killing, often unable to control their emotions.

Some were so emotionally unstable that they were confined in Konoha's high-security interrogation facility, dealt with through imprisonment by Konoha's top ranks.

For instance, some would become irate enough to fight, even killing their comrades without hesitation over a mere morsel of food.

For this, Hakushi wasn't surprised.

"Given the educational approach in the Ninja Realm, where children under ten years old can kill at will, it's more surprising not to have psychological issues."

Therefore, Hakushi believes the frequently seen emotions of frustration and the penchant for killing in these ninjas are normal psychological distortions.

Cultivating correct and positive life values requires a long time, but losing control typically takes but a moment.

To fundamentally reform a country's ideological outlook, education remains an indispensable ultimate hurdle.

Unfortunately, a Ninja Village represents a nation's military strength, only breeding a group of killing tools.

Without the thoughts to harness powerful strength, they're merely a rampant wild mob.

This phenomenon is widespread among ninjas in the Ninja Realm.

Therefore, reforming education is also imperative.

In other countries, Hakushi couldn't guarantee implementation, but in the Land of Demons, a neutral country far from the warfare blaze, there's a high success rate for implementation.

The Witch is not keen on power, only wishing for the betterment of this nation.

Most of the nobility and commoners in the Land of Demons worship the Witch, following her commands without doubt.

There's no need to worry about funding, as with the outbreak of Ninja Realm wars, attention won't focus on a neutral country like the Land of Demons, usually lacking presence, making the timing ripe for development.
