Chapter 101: Mangekyou, Chakra Seed, and Susanoo
In the end, when he absorbed the Ten-Tails' consciousness to strengthen his foundation, a hidden pathway leading into the depths of his soul quietly opened. A phantom-like seed appeared, resonating with his Sharingan.
The moment Shiyu Uchiha perceived it with his spiritual sense, instinctively he knew it was a Chakra Seed. It could absorb a person's mental energy and vitality, then reciprocate by producing chakra. Shiyu Uchiha even witnessed the process of chakra being generated.
When the Chakra Seed appeared, it gradually resonated with the Sharingan, forming a unique bond between them. Soon, the triple-comma Sharingan slowly transformed into a stable pattern through rotation.
This pattern radiated mystery and immense power, representing the Uchiha Clan's ultimate honor—the [Mangekyou], their legendary ocular awakening.
As the Sharingan evolved from triple-comma to Mangekyou, the Chakra Seed was also affected by the influence of Shiyu Uchiha's Dōkuriki and began its transformation. During this period, Shiyu Uchiha's Sharingan could not be closed at all—it remained constantly activated. If possible, Shiyu Uchiha wished this state could last as long as possible.
As time passed and the Ten-Tails' consciousness was completely consumed, the pathway leading into the depths of his mind gradually closed. By this point, Shiyu Uchiha's Chakra Seed had completed only slightly more than half of its transformation, still far from completion. Moreover, the later stages became increasingly difficult.
Furthermore, due to the transformation of his spiritual energy, Shiyu Uchiha's Mangekyou was much stronger than that of a typical newly awakened clan member. His Dōkuriki was also more abundant, so his Chakra Seed transformed faster. Otherwise, reaching even thirty percent would already be considered fast enough. However, his Dōkuriki was irrecoverable.
As the passageway closed, the Chakra Seed also gradually vanished from Shiyu Uchiha's vision, leaving behind only a faint connection. Yet, as long as this connection remained, even if the Chakra Seed sank deep into the soul, its transformation would not stop—just at a significantly slower pace, especially for ordinary Uchiha.
This so-called "opportunity" referred to intense mental stimulation capable of reopening the pathway, which not only accelerated the Chakra Seed's transformation but also allowed strong intentions to combine with the Uchiha bloodline, giving birth to unique and powerful dōjutsu. It felt almost like a wish coming true, except that the reality always bent in a twisted way.
Alternatively, frequently using Susanoo—this powerful ability granted by the Dojutsu—and especially overusing it, could continuously strengthen this faint connection, similarly accelerating the Chakra Seed's metamorphosis.
The former, however, was difficult for Shiyu Uchiha. He generally kept his emotions steady and wasn't easily swayed by outside influences. As for the latter, although he was capable of doing it, he would absolutely not pursue it before resolving the risks of the Mangekyou. He could accept living without Susano'o, but blindness would greatly impact him.
Still, he firmly believed that as he continued practicing his meditation technique and gradually strengthened his spiritual energy, one day he would be able to open that passageway entirely on his own strength. Then, his Chakra Seed could gradually grow into a brilliant pearl, shining with endless brilliance.
At the same time, Shiyu Uchiha realized his Chakra Seed had undergone a certain transformation, and correspondingly, his chakra had also changed to some extent. Although his eyes had not yet developed any dojutsu, he could still directly unleash powerful ocular abilities like "Susanoo" by tapping into the faint link between his Mangekyou and the Chakra Seed.
From memories of his past life, he had long known that this ability would grant him unparalleled combat strength, allowing him to easily handle various powerful enemies.
However, for now, Shiyu could only use the initial form of Susanoo. He estimated that even if he channeled a massive amount of Mangekyou Dōjuriki to boost Susanoo's power, he could still only activate its first stage—and doing so would strain his eyes.
Moreover, through changes in the Chakra Seed, he gained an intuitive understanding: as the Chakra Seed continued evolving, the connection between his Sharingan and himself would gradually strengthen. His Susanoo would evolve further over time. Only when the Chakra Seed fully transformed would he be able to unleash the complete form of Susanoo—a state in which he would nearly become unbeatable across the land.
Although Shiyu was not yet that powerful at the moment, awakening the Mangekyou brought him many benefits. There was no need to mention how significantly enhanced his Sharingan's basic abilities were—his physical constitution had also improved greatly under the influence of the Ten-Tails' vitality and the Mangekyou, and his chakra reserves had expanded greatly—enough to rival several Kage-level ninjas combined.
Shiyu Uchiha finally witnessed with his own eyes the evolution of the Mangekyou and the emergence of the Chakra Seed, giving him a deeper understanding of Dōjuriki and chakra. Activated by the Chakra Refining Technique, the Chakra Seed fused most of the body's spiritual energy and life force at a one-to-one ratio to produce chakra.
However, everyone's spiritual energy and vitality could not be perfectly balanced; there would always be an imbalance—one being greater than the other. The Uchiha's spiritual power and the Senju's vitality were the most extreme examples of this.
The excess vitality or spiritual energy then underwent second-stage fusion with chakra. After combining both, the resulting chakra—infused with either vitality or spiritual energy—would undergo cell-like division. The multiplication factor depended on the quality of the spiritual energy or vitality, and it would additionally carry Yin Release or Yang Release properties.
If after this secondary fusion, there remained residual spiritual energy or vitality, they would fuse again at a one-to-one ratio, further dividing while simultaneously enhancing the Yin Release or Yang Release attributes, continuing until nearly depleted.
Of course, if spiritual energy or vitality underwent a significant qualitative change, then the chakra itself would innately possess Yin Release or Yang Release characteristics—and even more potent ones.
This discovery also answered a childhood question Shiyu had about how chakra stimulated the body to enhance physical capacity. In his current view, this basic chakra stimulation was essentially an ultimate simplified version of the Six Paths Mode. Of course, the gap was enormous—one stood like royalty, the other no more than a pauper.
Shiyu Uchiha speculated that the [Six Paths Sage Mode] was likely also developed by imitating either the [Ten-Tails Jinchuriki] form or [Kekkei Mōra]. However, this mode possessed only power without embodying its true essence, making it a failed attempt.
The Nine-Tails' [Kurama Mode] should be similar—probably an even lower-level imitation of the [Six Paths Sage Mode]. As for the other Tailed Beasts, none had the opportunity to engage in battle alongside [Asura] against [Indra], and therefore lacked such fortune.
This time, the Ten-Tails left a particularly deep impression on Shiyu Uchiha: A [Ten-Tails fragment] fell from the sky like a meteor, crashing violently into the earth and kicking up massive clouds of dust and shockwaves.
This vivid and awe-inspiring scene burned itself deeply into Shiyu Uchiha's mind. He kept reliving and savoring it in his heart, as if determined to etch it into his very soul forever.
