Start with the Mangekyo Sharingan: Follow Lord Madara out of Konoha

Outside the village of Konoha.

"So, Lord Madara, you agree to take me with you?" Kamihane asked softly.

"Hmm." Madara nodded with pride.

Whether it was Kamihane's experiences or his Mangekyō Sharingan, they resonated with Madara. Both were kindred spirits, adrift in the world. Whether as a follower, an assistant, or a successor, Madara had already decided to take him along on his journey.

"Thank you, Lord Madara." Kamihane finally smiled with genuine relief.

"The abilities of these eyes are my greatest secret..."

He raised his hand, his fingertips gently brushing over his eye sockets. His pupils were crystal clear, with a jade-like texture.

"But since it's you, Lord Madara, I suppose it's fine to tell you!"

Under Madara's curious gaze, Kamihane began to explain.

The ability of his left eye was called "Makyō," which allowed him to adapt to all things and deliver the strongest counterattack against the adapted target—essentially, a post-strike adaptation to anything in the world.

To be more specific, it involved infinite analysis of everything he touched or saw. This process was called adaptation. Once adaptation was complete, he could nullify the effects of such influences, gaining permanent immunity, and deliver a precise counterattack against the source.

The power of adaptation was tied to causality and wouldn't be overridden by time or space. Moreover, if he was attacked again during the adaptation process, it would accelerate the adaptation.

The term "infinite analysis" meant that even after adaptation, the analysis wouldn't stop—it would only become more optimized!

The only thing he couldn't adapt to was the damage inflicted on his eyes when using their power.

The ability of his right eye was called "Amano Tokotachi," which allowed for time-space reversal.

It freely reversed his own time-space state, unconditionally restoring his current state to a previous moment, with a maximum range of five minutes. The time scale was virtually infinite, and after activation, there was only a one-second cooldown.

Both time and space states could be flexibly selected.

However, time nodes that had already been reversed couldn't be selected as targets for reversal again.

The more Madara listened, the more intrigued he became. His eyes sparkled with fascination. "Infinite adaptation and time-space reversal—these are truly 'divine techniques.' And when combined, their effects are even more extraordinary."

It had to be said, the Uchiha clan leader had a sharp eye.

Kamihane blinked. In truth, he had concealed a small detail about his right eye's ability.

The target of time-space reversal wasn't limited to himself!

Anything in the world, as long as it was within his line of sight, could be subjected to time-space reversal!

The selection of the reversal target could only be concretized to a macroscopic individual, but doing so would consume a massive amount of chakra. The greater the target's impact on the macroscopic world and the further back in time the selected point was, the more intense the chakra consumption.

He couldn't be blamed for keeping this from Madara. If the full extent of his right eye's ability were known, it would mean he wasn't just the ultimate shield but also the ultimate support! Who knows if Madara would start treating him as a tool.

Living in the ninja world, it was always wise to keep a few cards up one's sleeve.

"Alright, let's go."

Madara turned around, his earlier melancholy now overshadowed by the joy of having Kamihane by his side.

But Kamihane didn't move.

"What is it?" Madara tilted his head slightly, puzzled. "Did you forget something?"

"Well... you could say that," Kamihane chuckled. "Lord Madara, there's actually another member of the clan who has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."

"What?" Madara asked, surprised. "Your brother?"

Kamihane shook his head. "He doesn't have the talent. He hasn't even awakened his Sharingan yet, but that's not important..."

"...Do you remember, Lord Madara, during the mid-Warring States period, the Uchiha clan's sealed... secret weapon?"

"The Uchiha clan's secret weapon?" Madara pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized.

The dust of time fell away, and a long-buried memory slowly surfaced in his mind.

Many years ago, when Madara wasn't yet the clan leader, the Uchiha clan had a young girl named "Uchiha Hikari."

Like Kamihane, she had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan at a very young age, and her ocular ability was the divine technique known as "Yasaka Magatama."

"Yasaka Magatama" allowed her to mark enemies and absorb their chakra to strengthen herself. Once marked, she could control their mind and chakra through a connection, and the chakra could be transferred to herself or others regardless of distance.

Such a skill naturally drew the attention of the clan. The clan's leaders imprisoned her in a dark, sunless dungeon, only releasing her when they needed her for battle.

But that wasn't enough. In their pursuit of ultimate power, these madmen forcibly implanted the "Amaterasu" and "Tsukuyomi" techniques into her, turning her into a weapon of the Uchiha, stripping her of her name, freedom, and rights as a human being.

Thus, the Uchiha's ultimate weapon—Nameless—was born.

Nameless's appearance immediately turned the tide of the battlefield for the Uchiha. The Senju clan, having suffered losses, allied with other ninja clans to launch targeted operations.

In the end, at great cost, they finally managed to seal Nameless away.

"Are you suggesting we release her?" Madara asked.

"Yes, she too was abandoned. If we can bring her into our group, under your leadership, Lord Madara, we could become a new Uchiha," Kamihane coaxed.

"A new... Uchiha?" Madara was stunned, a warm current flowing through his heart, illuminating a dark corner within him.

"But..." he frowned slightly, "that was a long time ago, and even I don't know the location of the seal."

"Just because you don't know doesn't mean Konoha doesn't," Kamihane said with a sly smile. "I suspect that in the Hokage's secret archives, there must be a scroll containing information about the weapon."

Though he didn't know the exact location of the seal, based on his memory, such information was recorded in a secret scroll titled "The Warring States Sealing History," which was typically stored in Konoha's secret archives.

"I see..." Madara mused, momentarily at a loss.

He had just "broken up" with Hashirama and left the village. Going back now, tail between his legs... it wasn't his style!

Kamihane noticed Madara's hesitation and immediately patted his chest. "Lord Madara, I can sneak back in and steal the scroll under the cover of night."

"Isn't that too dangerous for you? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the Senju ninja?" Madara gazed toward Konoha and shook his head.

Kamihane smiled confidently. "Lord Madara, teleportation and stealth are my specialties. They won't notice me. Even when I followed you out of the village, I avoided everyone's sight."

"No wonder you didn't come with me immediately. You had this in mind all along..." Madara pondered.

He was a decisive man and quickly agreed to Kamihane's plan.

The two agreed to act that night. Regardless of whether Kamihane succeeded, he had to leave the village before the moon was at its brightest, and Madara would wait outside the village to receive him.

Then, Kamihane's right eye glowed red as the Mangekyō pattern slowly rotated, and the whites of his eyes became streaked with fine blood vessels.

The setting sun was blood-red, the clouds aflame, and the falling leaves hung in mid-air. The sound of the wind ceased, and time seemed to stand still.

From Kamihane's perspective, his body left a bizarre, twisted trail in space, like a long strand of noodles stretching from his current location all the way to Konoha.

His vision seemed to shift into a four-dimensional space, where a progress bar-like entity represented the trail of his movements in space over the past five minutes, each moment clearly visible.

Now, he could freely drag this progress bar, select a time node, and hit play. He would instantly appear at the selected location.

This was his ocular ability, "Amano Tokotachi."

Kamihane dragged the progress bar to its limit—five minutes ago, when he was hiding in a secluded patch of grass within the village.

In the next instant, he vanished before Madara's eyes, disappearing as cleanly as if an eraser had wiped away a pencil mark.
