It is not difficult to uncover information about the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan if one investigates carefully. After all, the present era is not far removed from that of Uchiha Madara and Izuna, whose legacies still echo through the clan's oral histories and hidden records. In particular, the Naka Shrine—home to the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths—is central to this knowledge. For those who have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, deeper secrets etched into the stone can be deciphered, detailing the evolution of ocular power, including the method of achieving the Eternal Mangekyō.
Because of this, Uchiha Yue never intended to conceal such truths. He had mentioned them plainly before. After all, knowledge of the method alone holds no power unless one has the required conditions: another Mangekyō Sharingan from a close blood relative. And that is not so easily attained.
Thus, for Uchiha Tianyin and the other two, if they truly wished to escape the curse of blindness that inevitably accompanies the Mangekyō, there was only one path forward: merit and reward. Yue would not hand them the Eternal Mangekyō without the proper qualifications. This condition—though implicit—was Yue's way of maintaining authority and control. For rapid increases in power often invite arrogance and rebellion. No matter how loyal or awestruck his subordinates appeared, Yue would never allow himself to become complacent.
As a leader, he knew that to ensure the Uchiha clan's long-term prosperity, one must exercise balanced governance: clear merit, fair reward, and firm consequence.
Already, Yue had gifted them the opportunity to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan—an extraordinary boon, especially considering none of the three had yet proven irreplaceable. If they desired further benefits, then they must offer corresponding contributions. Anything else would be overstepping their place.
And Yue had no intention of playing the role of a benevolent elder or indulgent superior, nurturing incompetent or dependent followers. He would not raise subordinates who could not shoulder the future.
"Lord Patriarch, I, Uchiha Kurotie, have overstepped. Please punish me."
"Lord Patriarch, I, Uchiha Qingtian, swear to follow you unto death. I will never hesitate to carry out your will."
"Lord Patriarch, I, Uchiha Tianyin, am willing to sacrifice everything for your cause—until my final breath."
While such declarations thundered through the training grounds, Yue remained silent, deep in thought. The trio, who moments ago had shown subtle signs of pride, now knelt on one knee once more, shouting their loyalty with a mixture of reverence and fear.
They were no fools. As accomplished shinobi within the Uchiha clan, each was at least Elite Chūnin, if not Jōnin-level. When Yue rebuked them, even without overt malice, they immediately realized his intention: to test their hearts and ambitions.
Being native-born shinobi of this world, they lacked Yue's detached familiarity with the Mangekyō Sharingan. For Yue—who came from another world and bore a transmigrator's calm perspective—the Mangekyō, though formidable, inspired little reverence. But for them, it was the pinnacle of Uchiha power, legendary and nearly divine. That awe had long taken root in their bones.
Now, at merely ten years old, Yue had not only awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan but also saved the clan from annihilation and casually helped them unlock the very power they worshipped. To them, Yue was more fearsome than the power of Mangekyō itself. How could they not kneel?
Their swift and fervent declarations were simply instinct—pure and unfiltered.
"You don't need to prove your loyalty with words," Yue finally replied, his voice calm but authoritative. "I value action over proclamation."
"As your Patriarch, I make this clear: if you achieve merits worthy of reward, I will not withhold anything—no matter how rare or powerful. Do you understand?"
Without hesitation, the three responded in unison: "We understand!"
This time, the tremor in their voices was gone. Only passion and devotion remained.
…
Time flowed like a silent stream.
With Tianyin, Qingtian, and Kurotie's successful awakenings behind him, Uchiha Yue further refined the induction process. Next came Uchiha Flint—a promising shinobi with both heritage and temperament. Following Yue's guidance, Flint also unlocked his Mangekyō Sharingan.
But unlike before, Yue now included specific ideological preparation, reinforcing Flint's loyalty and shaping his vision. Yue even assisted him in developing a unique, complementary pair of Mangekyō abilities for both eyes. The result was a perfect synergy—Flint's ocular powers formed a balanced whole, drastically enhancing his combat potential.
Yue couldn't help but marvel at the efficiency. Once the underlying nature of the Sharingan was understood, and the correct emotional stimuli were applied, awakening the Mangekyō was far from difficult—provided one possessed sufficient chakra, talent, and resolve.
The rarity of Mangekyō in prior generations had not stemmed from a lack of potential, but rather from a lack of guidance and method. The Uchiha of old relied on chance—personal tragedy, emotional extremes, and blind inheritance. Without targeted stimulation and intellectual analysis of the Sharingan's nature, only a handful had managed to stumble upon the Mangekyō.
However, despite this revelation, Yue did not continue enabling mass awakenings.
With himself, Fugaku (who still concealed his Mangekyō), the original three, and now Flint, the Uchiha possessed five Mangekyō users. That alone elevated the clan's might to unprecedented heights. It was enough—for now.
Moreover, maintaining the principle of merit-based reward was crucial. If he distributed the power indiscriminately, discipline would falter. Instead, Yue let the examples speak for themselves.
And indeed, word spread quickly.
Though he had not demanded strict secrecy, once the clan learned that Uchiha Yue could help others awaken Mangekyō Sharingan—and would do so in exchange for service and results—the response was explosive.
Young shinobi redoubled their training. Even elder clansmen, long set in their ways, began scrambling to complete missions, manage clan affairs, and propose innovative reforms. Orders Yue had once struggled to implement were now carried out with near perfection.
The entire clan surged with a new vitality. Once-stagnant branches burst into motion, each trying to earn favor and merit. Reform measures once stalled by bureaucracy or personal reluctance now sailed through effortlessly.
In mere days, the transformation was visible to the naked eye.
Yue's original goals for restructuring the clan had not only been completed—they had been exceeded. The atmosphere within the Uchiha had become energized, orderly, and fiercely competitive. A sense of purpose now animated the streets of their district.
The Uchiha were changing—not just in power, but in spirit.
