Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens

The Uchiha clan is inherently a proud clan.

Unless facing a close friend they genuinely acknowledge, they invariably display an arrogant side.

And Uchiha Fugaku, under Luo Fu's blatant flattery, didn't realize the abnormal arrogance swelling within him.

This was entirely due to the passive influence of Luo Fu's Seven Deadly Sins Eyes.

Luo Fu feigned dejection, saying, "You don't need to comfort me. The fact that I awakened such a useless Mangekyo is undeniable. Fugaku-san, besides you and me, has anyone else in the clan awakened the Mangekyo?"

"Awakening each Mangekyo is extremely difficult. In fact, other than you and me, the last person to awaken it was our ancestor, Uchiha Madara."

Uchiha Fugaku's inner arrogance grew stronger.

Luo Fu changed the subject, adopting an envious tone, and said, "I wonder, could I see Fugaku-san's eye techniques? I have no hope left, but I want to witness the true power of the Mangekyo."

Again, he used the Seven Deadly Sins Eyes to amplify Uchiha Fugaku's arrogance, and further flattered him with his attitude.

Uchiha Fugaku was already floating on air.

Upon hearing this, he nodded without hesitation, saying, "Why not? You and I are the only two in the clan who have awakened the Mangekyo. Since you want to witness the eye techniques of the Mangekyo, I'll show you."

The moment the words left his mouth, Uchiha Fugaku locked eyes with Luo Fu for a brief moment.

In that instant, Luo Fu's vision shifted, as if in a flash of lightning, he was transported from the gloomy Fire Country border back to the bustling Konoha Village.

Seeing the familiar scene before him, Luo Fu couldn't help but say, "Is this the strongest genjutsu, Tsukuyomi?"

"Indeed, this is the Mangekyo's eye technique, Tsukuyomi. Within this genjutsu space, time, space, and mass are all under my control. The damage suffered in this genjutsu space is enough to inflict devastating blows on the opponent."

Fugaku's figure appeared beside Luo Fu out of thin air.

"Thank you, Fugaku-san, for allowing me to witness the true power of the Mangekyo."

Luo Fu's tone became increasingly seductive. "Tsukuyomi, it truly inspires envy. I wonder, could I see the eye technique in Fugaku-san's other Mangekyo as well?"

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku faintly sensed that something was amiss.

His other Mangekyo possessed a powerful ability to perceive, even to glimpse into the future. However, this ability, apart from its effect on himself, was impossible for others to experience.

Despite his curiosity, the ever-growing arrogance within him, coupled with Luo Fu's deliberately submissive demeanor, fully satisfied Uchiha Fugaku's inner pride.

He even vaguely entertained the thought that even if Luo Fu, like himself, had awakened the Mangekyo, his abilities were still far inferior to his own.

As the clan head, what harm was there in letting him witness it?

With this in mind, Uchiha Fugaku directly dispelled Tsukuyomi, saying, "The eye technique of my other Mangekyo can only be manifested within myself. Although I can show it to you, you'll only be able to sense a slight change in the eye power at most."

The moment the words left his mouth, Uchiha Fugaku unhesitatingly used the eye technique of his other Mangekyo again.

Unbeknownst to him, two new eye techniques instantly appeared on his originally blank twelve eye technique slots, after witnessing Uchiha Fugaku's eye techniques.

One was a genjutsu called Tsukuyomi, and the other was the powerful perception ability to glimpse into the future.

"Alright."

Closing his Mangekyo, and easing the stinging sensation in his eyes, Uchiha Fugaku said, "You have now seen the abilities of my eyes. However, your eye techniques are mainly focused on enhancing yourself. If possible, I hope you won't let anyone know that you've awakened the Mangekyo unless absolutely necessary."

Luo Fu couldn't help but feel curious. What was Uchiha Fugaku's purpose in making such a request?

"I've said that our Uchiha clan is not in a good position in the village. Once the fact that you and I have awakened the Mangekyo becomes known, it might not be a good thing for our clan."

Uchiha Fugaku was trying to hide his strength, wasn't he?

As the clan head, even if he lacked political acumen, anyone would realize that there was something strange about dispatching the Uchiha, a clan specializing in Fire Release, to the Land of Water, a battlefield where their Fire Release specialties were difficult to utilize and where they were at a disadvantage.

Uchiha Fugaku's suggestion to conceal their strength was probably to avoid arousing deeper suspicion from the Konoha Council.

But unfortunately, the Konoha Council's vigilance and suspicion towards the Uchiha stemmed from the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, coupled with their covetousness of the Uchiha's power. Simply hiding their strength and showing weakness wouldn't change the Uchiha's situation.

Although he looked down on Uchiha Fugaku's brain-dead actions, Luo Fu put on a simple and honest appearance on the surface, saying, "I'll listen to Fugaku-san. You're the clan head, you definitely wouldn't harm me. I'll do whatever you tell me to do?!"

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't wait to treat Luo Fu as his confidant.

"Very good."

Feigning composure, Uchiha Fugaku said, "You've awakened the legendary eyes, but because of my request, you can't reveal it. I should give you some compensation. Besides, even simply awakening the Sharingan would earn you rewards and support from the clan, let alone awakening the legendary eyes."

After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Fugaku simply said to Luo Fu, "How about this? Because we need to keep it a secret, I can't directly give you rewards. If there is anything you want, I can give it to you privately."

I want your wife, are you willing to give her to me too?

Even Sarutobi Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage, had only managed to create a pair of special chakra blades that combined knuckle dusters and daggers.

This shows how precious chakra metal was.

Even Uchiha Fugaku, the clan head of the millennia-old clan, couldn't help but twitch his cheeks and feel a pang of heartache when he heard Luo Fu's request.

However, since he had made a promise in advance, he would fulfill his promise even if he had to grit his teeth.

"What kind of ninjatō do you want?"

"Something similar to the tachi of the Land of Iron will do."

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes widened, "A tachi? You want a samurai sword from the Land of Iron made of pure chakra metal?"
