Chapter 67: Eternal Eye Awakens! Twin Kamui Activated!!
"Money! So much money! Lord Renji, the revenue these past few days has doubled by 120%!"
Inside the Uchiha clan.
After confirming the cooperation with the Hyūga clan, Renji hurried back.
He immediately met with Uchiha Izumi, who served as the accountant.
Yes... Itachi's childhood friend, who didn't like fighting and chose to manage the newly established Uchiha Chamber of Commerce.
She was specially recruited by Renji.
Since he wanted to make Itachi betray everything for the sake of "thrill," he had to go all the way.
Unexpectedly, he also discovered her obsession with money.
"Now our Uchiha clan's finances are indeed much better than before!"
Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but sigh.
Renji's move to open up routes to the nobles of the Five Great Nations had indeed allowed Uchiha products to flood the market.
After all, the ninja villages still had to listen to the nobles.
And since it was just simple commerce, the Uchiha Chamber of Commerce would outsource the delivery tasks within each territory to the respective ninja village, allowing them to earn some profit—and pay taxes too.
"Ultimately, these goods are just new and novel."
Uchiha Mikoto, being a woman, hadn't used cosmetics or perfumes for a long time.
But after seeing how good these new products were, she also started using them occasionally.
Not to mention the younger women.
Renji's method of selling a concept was truly impressive.
"As long as the Chamber of Commerce runs normally, that's enough. Sasuke's graduation exam has been scheduled. Also, the matter I discussed with you has been completed."
Renji nodded.
He wasn't particularly concerned with business.
It was simply a tool to unite the Uchiha clan.
Money didn't matter to him.
Strength was the only thing that mattered!
Without strength, no matter how much money you had, it would be taken from you.
In fact, the bigger Uchiha grew, the more Konoha's F4 wanted to steal everything from them.
"You actually completed it so quickly?!"
Uchiha Fugaku widened his eyes, looking at Renji with disbelief.
He understood exactly what Renji meant.
Previously, Renji had told him that he was going to cooperate with the Hyūga.
At that time, Fugaku had no hope at all.
After all, he knew the Hyūga's character very well.
But Renji actually managed to persuade them.
"Yes, it's already done."
"Looks like you really might succeed..."
Fugaku muttered, a trace of admiration flashing in his heart.
If Renji could even win over the Hyūga, then perhaps he truly could accomplish this.
Although it would still cause Konoha to suffer heavy losses, at least the Uchiha would survive.
"Also, you were right earlier. I had someone dig it up and check—those corpses in the Uchiha cemetery, the three-tomoe Sharingan were actually dug out."
Uchiha Fugaku whispered into Renji's ear.
He had investigated just like Renji suggested.
It was true.
The corpses' Sharingan had been stolen.
Danzo, that bastard, had even stooped to grave robbing!
And despite the heavy defenses, they still succeeded.
From that moment, Uchiha Fugaku completely made up his mind.
Since Renji could convince the Hyūga, and Danzo was stealing their bloodline, what else was there to say?
The bloodline was crucial to any clan.
Originally, after Kakashi received Obito's Sharingan, the Uchiha had wanted it returned.
But due to political exchanges with the Third Hokage, and Fugaku's own compromises, they let it go.
Similarly, on the night of the massacre, Fugaku chose not to resist—knowing Itachi wasn't acting alone.
But now, the situation was different.
There was a better choice placed before him.
[Ding! Changed Uchiha Fugaku's fate. Uchiha Fugaku has chosen to join the rebellion. Reward: one lottery draw!]
It triggered!
Uchiha Fugaku had taken the bait!
And another lottery reward came with it.
As expected, each time he changed an Uchiha's fate, he could draw a prize.
This place was a jackpot!
Renji silently activated it.
[Ding! Host has successfully drawn: Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan (fill in two Mangekyō abilities as desired)!]
What!?
Eternal Eyes!?
With Senju body + Eternal Mangekyō + Uzumaki bloodline...
Wasn't this equivalent to the power of Madara at the Valley of the End?
Actually, even better—since Madara didn't have Uzumaki blood or a full Senju body then.
Too bad he didn't have the Nine Tails.
And he could also insert two custom Mangekyō abilities.
[Naruto Renji]: "Brothers, Eternal Mangekyō acquired! From now on, opening Complete Body Susanoo is child's play!! Big Buddha armor loading!!!"
At this point, Renji was confident he could win the upcoming battle!
If even with Eternal Eyes he lost, he might as well smash his head into tofu and die!
[One Piece Renji]: "Damn!! Valley of the End dream mecha battle is finally happening?!"
Ecstatic!
Sure, normal Mangekyō could open Susanoo too, but how could basic mode compare to max upgrade mode?
[Daily Life Renji]: "Shouldn't we be focusing on the fact you can choose two Mangekyō abilities now?"
Actually, it wasn't even a real choice.
Anyone with half a brain would know what to pick.
[Yōkai Renji]: "Kamui, obviously. Even though Kotoamatsukami is broken, Kamui is even more broken. Space-time powers trump mind control. Kakashi could sever Kaguya's arm while only temporarily using it—no way Kotoamatsukami could control someone that powerful!"
Kotoamatsukami sounded fancy.
But if the opponent was much stronger, it wouldn't work.
Thus, Kotoamatsukami had its limits.
But Kamui?
It could attack and escape at will.
Even Kakashi's temporary buff allowed him to wound Kaguya.
If Obito had stayed online full-time with Kamui, he'd have been completely unstoppable.
Not choosing Kamui would be a waste.
[Naruto Renji]: "Of course I'm picking Twin Kamui! What, do you think I'm stupid?"
In the world of Naruto.
In the custom selection options, the Mangekyō abilities of Sasuke, Madara, Itachi, Shisui, and Shin were all available.
Renji selected Obito's Kamui.
His Mangekyō gradually began to change, fusing his original Mangekyō with Obito's Mangekyō into a new one.
At the same time, the seemingly infinite chakra reserves made Renji realize why only the Eternal Eye could sustain a Complete Body Susanoo.
Without sufficient chakra, opening a Complete Body Susanoo was simply impossible.
"I'll leave things here to you guys. I'm heading out first."
Renji couldn't wait to test Kamui.
He was very curious whether his Kamui dimension would be connected to Obito's.
If it was, wouldn't it be awkward if he bumped into Obito next time?
The casting speed with Twin Kamui was much faster, and the time ratio inside the Kamui dimension had doubled.
It seemed even the previous weaknesses had been compensated.
In the anime, Obito had been nearly killed by Konan because of that very flaw.
Renji was really looking forward to Obito's expression when he realized they shared the same Kamui abilities.
Two days later.
At the Ninja Academy, where school should have ended, a large crowd had gathered.
After so many years, a student had once again applied for early graduation.
Actually, among the senior students, Hyūga Neji had also applied, but was rejected.
Today, Neji was also present.
He was deeply dissatisfied.
He couldn't understand why he was treated differently.
Was it because he was from the branch family, while this time it was a member of the Uchiha applying?
Around the field, the girls all looked at Sasuke, standing in the center, their eyes sparkling with admiration.
In their eyes, Sasuke seemed even more handsome after applying for early graduation.
Among the crowd, a blond boy with fox-like whiskers on his cheeks—Naruto—glanced at his goddess Sakura.
Then, he turned and looked at Sasuke with dissatisfaction.
"This smug bastard, what's he acting all superior for? Applying for early graduation... if he fails, just wait for me to laugh at him!"
Every time Sasuke showed off at school, Naruto felt unbearable.
Especially knowing that Sasuke had applied for early graduation this time.
He was the dead last of the class, his goddess liked Sasuke, and Sasuke was his lifelong rival.
Now Sasuke was even applying for early graduation.
It only made Naruto even more frustrated, feeling like Sasuke was leaving him further behind again.
"Naruto, I think Sasuke will probably succeed."
Beside him, Chōji tossed a handful of chips into his mouth.
Although Naruto was his friend, he still believed Sasuke would succeed.
He had asked Shikamaru earlier.
And if Shikamaru, the smartest among them, said Sasuke could graduate, then it was practically guaranteed.
"Ahhhh!!! That lazy Shikamaru, what if he's right?"
"He probably is."
Shikamaru didn't say it outright, but he felt it was almost certain.
Although...
He couldn't understand why the Hokage would approve this.
After all, a new genin was supposed to be assigned to a team of three, right?
Was Sasuke being sent to the Anbu?
But with the current tension between the Uchiha and Konoha, that didn't seem likely either.
Shikamaru shook his head.
It wasn't something he should worry about.
Too troublesome.
He hated trouble the most.
"I'm going to the Hokage to apply for early graduation too!"
Naruto couldn't stand it anymore.
He immediately decided to ask the Third Hokage to let him graduate early too.
What a joke!
The thought of Sasuke pulling further ahead made him feel like ants were crawling all over his body.
"Forget it, Naruto. You can't even perform the Three Basic Jutsu properly. How could you possibly graduate?"
Chōji reminded him bluntly.
Naruto couldn't even manage the basics, and his academic scores were a disaster.
Him graduating would be a miracle.
"Really? I don't believe it!"
Naruto said, just as he turned and saw the Third Hokage, Danzo, and Renji walking toward them.
The moment he spotted the Third Hokage, Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Grandpa Hokage! I want to apply for early graduation too!!"
Everyone was instantly drawn by Naruto's sudden outburst.
All eyes turned toward Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"This brat..."
Danzo's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness.
He hadn't even wanted to come today.
But he couldn't refuse Hiruzen's request.
In the end, he thought it wouldn't matter.
The Ninja Academy wasn't somewhere suspicious.
As long as he stayed low-profile, there would be no issues.
Yet thanks to Naruto's shout, he was now the center of attention.
And seeing that even the Hyūga clan was present, he grew even more uneasy.
However, he didn't move too much.
In the village, it was considered extremely rude for the Hyūga to casually activate the Byakugan.
"Naruto, huh..."
Renji smiled faintly.
Hearing Renji's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi also lifted his head and smiled:
"Yes, that child has grown a lot."
But inwardly, Hiruzen became more cautious.
Uchiha and the Nine-Tails—that taboo—he would never forget.
If Renji set his sights on Naruto, then once the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha erupted, the village would be finished.
Especially since there were no replacements left to become the next Jinchūriki.
He silently vowed to tighten surveillance.
He would not allow Uchiha—or any unknown person—to approach Naruto.
"It seems he wants to apply for graduation too. Shouldn't you at least respond?"
Renji glanced at Naruto, then casually withdrew his gaze, already having another plan forming in his heart.
But there was no rush.
"You're still too early, Naruto."
"Ugh! Stop looking down on me!!"
Naruto protested loudly.
He then pointed at Sasuke and shouted:
"Why can he do it then?!"
"Because he's the top student. And you're dead last."
Hiruzen answered with a laugh.
Naruto instantly deflated.
Dead last, dead last!
One day, he would make everyone recognize him!
"Hey, that guy next to the Hokage... he's so handsome."
"Even more handsome than Sasuke."
Originally, Ino had been arguing with Sakura over Sasuke.
But when Naruto's commotion drew her attention, she saw Renji standing beside the Hokage.
So handsome!
Such mature, adult-level handsome.
Ino immediately started comparing Sasuke and Renji in her mind.
"Heh, Ino-pig, it doesn't matter how handsome he is. It's got nothing to do with you!"
"Forehead girl, you wanna fight!?"
"Women are really troublesome. Handsome guys are troublesome too."
"Shikamaru, I think handsome guys are great!"
"You don't understand, Chōji."
The crowd buzzed noisily.
And amid the sea of people, Renji also spotted the Konoha Twelve—still young, still naïve.
There were even many parents present today.
After all, it had been years since anyone applied for early graduation.
The last one had also been an Uchiha.
Among the crowd, Renji briefly made eye contact with Hyūga Hiashi, who stood beside Hinata.
And silently, Renji was already looking forward to the next lottery reward.
