Chapter 61

Because they knew,

the head of this Senju clan,

he was the man who defeated their clan leader Madara Uchiha!!!

Moreover, Madara Uchiha himself publicly admitted,

that when Hashirama Senju defeated him,

he hadn't even used his full strength!!!!

This made the Uchiha clan's attitude toward Hashirama Senju even more fervent,

because the Uchiha clan were born with a warrior's soul!!!

They loved battle,

and craved power!!!

For the strong,

they never withheld their praise and respect!!!

Madara Uchiha was already the strongest ninja they had ever seen,

yet Hashirama Senju's power surpassed Madara Uchiha!!!!

This further cemented Hashirama Senju's title as the world's greatest living being,

he was a living god!!!!

Watching the two of them, Hashirama Senju, smiling warmly and chatting enthusiastically,

a Uchiha clansman in the crowd clenched his teeth,

and finally mustered the courage to step forward.

"Lord Hashirama… is the news you spoke of truly real or just a lie?"

"I heard from Clan Leader Madara that you have a better way to solve our Uchiha clan's Sharingan problem…"

"You said our method of awakening is flawed, and even our entire evolutionary path is too extreme—it's not a correct or stable path."

Emboldened by drink,

this Uchiha clansman finally voiced the question burning inside him.

Just as Madara Uchiha frowned, about to speak,

Hashirama Senju gave him a glance, halting his words.

"It's true… I've studied your Uchiha clan's Sharingan extensively."

"Perhaps even your own Uchiha people understand their Sharingan less than I do…"

"I discovered this issue by comparing shared records between the Senju and Uchiha clans…"

"Our Senju clan and your Uchiha clan actually share the same origin—our ancestors were brothers."

As Hashirama Senju revealed more secrets,

the expressions of everyone in the hall grew increasingly stunned!!!

None of them had imagined,

that the two rival clans, who had fought and slaughtered each other for so many years, were in fact two families of brothers???!!!

"The Uchiha clan's method of awakening is extremely extreme."

"It is not a correct or stable path—such a dark and extreme method will only drive you deeper into ruin!!!"

"There is, in fact, a safer method that can help you awaken and evolve."

"You need only strengthen your spiritual power, and this will continuously enhance your ocular power; over time… you will naturally awaken the Sharingan and advance to higher levels."

"This method is slower, but it is far more stable and offers greater growth potential…"

"Perhaps… the method I speak of is your clan's true awakening method…"

53. Hashirama Senju's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan

The words Hashirama Senju spoke afterward were heard only by himself,

none of the other Uchiha clansmen noticed them.

They only noticed that Hashirama Senju had admitted,

that he truly had a way to solve the Uchiha clan's Sharingan problem,

and that alone was enough to fill them with joy!!!!!!!

"This is merely a general direction—I've confirmed it with Madara."

"This method can indeed reduce the risks of awakening and further evolution to the minimum."

"As for the specific details, we still need to discuss them slowly."

Upon hearing this,

the Uchiha clansmen's faces lit up with excitement.

Hope was good enough—but now it was more than just hope,

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha had already set the general future direction.

All that remained was for them to gradually move forward.

It was merely a matter of time.

After all, not every Uchiha clansman could awaken the Sharingan.

And the awakening process was excruciatingly painful.

Even if one did awaken the Sharingan,

and progressed from one tomoe to three tomoe,

even reaching the level of Mangekyo Sharingan,

But the hidden danger of the Sharingan has always existed.

The higher the evolution level of the Sharingan an Uchiha clan member possesses,

the more unstable their mental state becomes!!!

Because when awakening the Sharingan,

a member of the Uchiha clan must endure tremendous pain,

and suffer an enormous mental shock in order to awaken the Sharingan!!!

Moreover, a small number of higher-level Uchiha clan members knew that,

even after evolving to the Mangekyo Sharingan, it was not a once-and-for-all solution.

The more frequently they used the Mangekyo Sharingan,

the more likely they were to go blind!!!!

After eating and drinking their fill, members of the two great clans left the banquet in a bustling crowd.

At this moment, Hashirama Senju gave Uchiha Madara a meaningful glance.

The two of them then disappeared around a corner.

"Madara... do you remember what I told you before?"

"Our bloodlines come from the same ancestor."

"So my body may very well carry the bloodline of the Sharingan, while your body carries the bloodline of Wood Release."

"I can use Wood Release to heal your Mangekyo Sharingan, let you avoid the risk of going blind, and even possibly let your Mangekyo Sharingan advance further, evolving into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."

As the laboratory lights kept coming on,

Uchiha Madara was also shocked by the scene before him!!!!

The laboratory was filled with all manner of experimental equipment,

its scale so grand

that even he felt utterly amazed.

"Now it is time to fulfill the promise I made to you..."

"to take your Mangekyo Sharingan one step further..."

Hearing this,

Uchiha Madara lunged forward and tightly gripped Hashirama Senju's shoulders.

"What???!!!"

"Hashirama!!! You really completed your experiment, you didn't deceive me?"
