Uchiha Setsuna rubbed his eyes vigorously, seriously doubting whether he had been using the Sharingan too frequently, leading to hallucinations. 'Kazekaze, this guy, is from the Senju clan... The grandson of Senju Hashirama, right? Why does he have the Sharingan, which only the Uchiha clan possesses? How is this possible?!'
In fact, it wasn't just Uchiha Setsuna who was shocked by the scene before him. Every Uchiha clan member present was stunned. 'What is going on? Can someone explain? Isn't the Sharingan supposed to be a unique Kekkei Genkai of their clan? Why does Kazekaze have the Sharingan? Moreover, they all knew. Kazekaze's mother, Ayako, was just an ordinary civilian. His father, Mokuken, naturally needs no further mention. Hashirama is from the Senju clan. Mito is from the Uzumaki clan. None of them have the Sharingan. Why, of all people, did Kazekaze awaken the Sharingan?'
"This must be a joke?!" Uchiha Setsuna couldn't help but gasp, his eyes wide like a bull's, as if the Sharingan might fall out of his eye sockets at any moment. He simply couldn't understand. 'Why does Kazekaze have the Sharingan? It's simply unbelievable. Incredible! Too exaggerated!'
"Why does Hashirama's grandson have the Sharingan? What on earth is going on? It must be fake, isn't the Sharingan something only Uchiha clan members can awaken? Could it be that Kazekaze has Uchiha bloodline?"
For a moment, everyone was talking, but no one could find an answer. However, what shocked them wasn't just that an outsider like Kazekaze had awakened the Sharingan. He... actually awakened the Sharingan at the age of seven! Even within their own clan, no one could achieve such a feat. Even the man they admired the most, Uchiha Madara, only awakened the Sharingan at the age of fifteen. Yet, someone who wasn't from the Uchiha clan awakened the Sharingan at the age of seven! Doesn't this mean his talent is even more exaggerated than Uchiha Madara's?
And... "Three tomoe, it's a three-tomoe Sharingan!" The Uchiha ninja exclaimed once again. Generally speaking, when the Sharingan is first awakened, it doesn't directly become a three-tomoe Sharingan. It's mostly a one-tomoe. Like Uchiha Madara, both eyes were one-tomoe. Having one eye with two tomoe was enough to be called a Sharingan genius!
However, now, a ninja who isn't from their clan. Not only did he awaken a Sharingan that doesn't belong to him, but both eyes are three-tomoe! This greatly shocked them internally, even causing those in this team who hadn't yet upgraded to a three-tomoe Sharingan to feel both shocked and angry. 'Doesn't this mean they are inferior to a seven-year-old child!'
"A seven-year-old child can have two three-tomoe Sharingan, while I only have two tomoe, isn't this too discouraging!"
"Exactly, when I was seven, I didn't even know what a Sharingan was."
"You at seven? Not to mention you, even Uchiha Madara didn't know what a Sharingan was at seven."
For a moment, these Uchiha clan members felt depressed. It's no exaggeration to say... If Kazekaze were a member of the Uchiha clan, they would definitely be dancing with joy because Kazekaze awakened his eyes at seven and with three tomoe. Because this would prove that Kazekaze is a genius among geniuses! The future hope of the Uchiha clan! When he grows older, not only becoming the Uchiha clan leader would be expected. He would surely lead the Uchiha clan to break free from the Senju's constraints. Become the Hokage! The Uchiha's Hokage!
However, Kazekaze is not a member of the Uchiha clan. He is Hashirama's grandson. "I know, Kazekaze must have used the Transformation Jutsu!" Uchiha Setsuna suddenly exclaimed, then activated a genjutsu. After a bout of shock, he had calmed his emotions. 'No matter how you think about it, a Senju person awakening the Sharingan is unscientific. Setsuna's heart was even more unwilling to believe this fact. So, he directly imagined that Kazekaze used the Transformation Jutsu to disguise himself as having the Sharingan.'
But in reality... If Setsuna were calm enough, he would realize the irrationality of this thought. The Sharingan itself is a Kekkei Genkai that sees through ninjutsu. The Transformation Jutsu can't fool someone with the Sharingan. Moreover, when using the Transformation Jutsu, a puff of white smoke appears in front. This is common knowledge in the world of Naruto. It can only be said that Kazekaze having the Sharingan shocked them too much. To the extent that Setsuna's brain couldn't think like a normal person anymore.
Now, he just wanted to use his genjutsu to control Kazekaze. Then use Kazekaze to deal with Tobirama. As long as Tobirama is defeated by them, that Hashirama who can't refine chakra naturally wouldn't be a threat. However, Uchiha Setsuna's genjutsu was met with disdain by Kazekaze. Currently, Uchiha Setsuna only had two two-tomoe Sharingan. And the Sharingan, of course, the more tomoe, the stronger the effect. Currently, Kazekaze had a genuine three-tomoe Sharingan. It wasn't any Transformation Jutsu, nor was he wearing any special lenses.
Seeing Uchiha Setsuna use genjutsu on him, Kazekaze just stood there, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, then returned the favor in the same way. In an instant, Kazekaze fell to the ground with a thud. Uchiha Setsuna showed a relieved expression, took a deep breath, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a smile.
"In the end, just a fake. Only we Uchiha can unleash the true power of the Sharingan. Someone like you will never, ever, ever grasp the true power of the Sharingan!" Uchiha Setsuna shouted hysterically at Kazekaze, then took three steps in two strides, walked up to Kazekaze, bent halfway, extended five fingers, and reached for Kazekaze on the ground. Preparing to take him away. To use him to restrain Tobirama. Whether the Uchiha clan's rebellion could succeed. All depended on this.
However... Just as Uchiha Setsuna's hand was about to grab Kazekaze, his body suddenly turned into a flock of crows, flapping their wings and flying away. And in Uchiha Setsuna's ears, the continuous sound of crows cawing echoed.
"Caw..."
"Caw..."
Next, the familiar clan members' features began to twist, each clutching their own throat, becoming extremely pained. A flame started burning from beneath their feet, instantly engulfing them. The miserable wails, combined with the cawing of crows, continuously echoed in Uchiha Setsuna's ears. Slowly, making him feel despair.
'Kazekaze's Sharingan is real...'
