Naruto: Forbidden Arts and an Immortal Agenda

Returning home, Aozora went straight to the bathroom.

Standing in front of the mirror, he looked at his reflection.

"So handsome!"

After that dramatic declaration, Aozora forced himself to stop admiring his good looks and turned his attention to his eyes in the mirror.

"How beautiful these eyes are!"

Just awed by his perfect appearance, Aozora was immediately mesmerized again by eyes sparkling like stars.

He noticed his once-sharp eyes had changed—they were still bright but no longer piercing, instead resembling a star-filled void: deep and mesmerizing.

"Has my Sharingan evolved?"

Aozora quickly activated his [Sharingan (Mangekyō Dojutsu)].

As chakra poured in, his eyes turned crimson red.

In the irises, two tomoe continuously rotated. However, Aozora sensed something subtly off.

When he initially awakened the Sharingan, activating it always brought a sense of coldness, even with some ominous and evil vibes.

But as he used it more often and grew stronger himself, Aozora noticed that the eerie, ominous aura gradually faded.

Today, looking at the blood-red eyes in the mirror, Aozora thought not of bloodshed, but of vibrant life.

Moreover, the two tomoe within his irises seemed larger than before. Aozora had an intuition—the tomoe felt unstable, as though they contained hidden power.

Besides these slight physical changes, Aozora also realized his ocular abilities had improved greatly.

In fact, when he left home at noon, he already sensed something unusual.

He could see dewdrops on distant flowers and the subtle textures on faraway tree branches.

Back then, Aozora didn't take it seriously, mistaking it for illusions caused by being out too long without fresh air.

It was only during his spar with Kyudai that Aozora realized for sure his eyes had changed.

Kyudai's strength was truly formidable. In straightforward taijutsu sparring, Aozora couldn't easily overpower him.

Yet once both activated their Sharingan, Kyudai quickly lost the upper hand—an obvious disparity in ocular power.

Aozora assumed his Sharingan had evolved into three-tomoe form. Now it seems, there's still a bit missing.

So, what exactly triggered this sudden leap in his visual prowess?

Aozora paced around the room, deeply thinking.

After a while, Aozora recalled his unfinished spiritual ability—Yin Yang Eye.

"I've nurtured the Yang Eye for so long, yet it's still in the quantitative change phase, not qualitative. Could I have made a breakthrough in Yin Eye instead?"

Suddenly remembering manipulating his soul fragment and observing Spiritual Sea through its perspective that morning.

"A soul fragment is essentially a spirit body; isn't soul perception precisely Yin Eye application?"

"I probably instinctively gained Yin Eye abilities after viewing the world through the soul fragment's perspective."

Upon realizing this, Aozora couldn't help but feel thrilled and delighted.

Because he understood now—this ocular transformation meant his Sharingan needed only one final push to achieve three-tomoe evolution.

The Sharingan was one of the top three [dojutsu bloodline limits] in the Ninja World. Its fame surpassed even the [Byakugan], second only to the [Rinnegan] of the [Sage of Six Paths].

The Sharingan has three forms: single-tomoe, double-tomoe, and Three Tomoe. The more tomoe present, the stronger its abilities become.

At the single-tomoe stage, the Sharingan mainly enhances dynamic vision. During this phase, the Sharingan is far inferior to the Byakugan.

Once it evolves into a double-tomoe Sharingan, it gains the ability to perceive chakra and strengthens its genjutsu capabilities. At this point, the Sharingan and Byakugan each have their advantages, though the Sharingan still slightly lags behind the Byakugan.

When the Sharingan reaches the Three Tomoe stage, its abilities experience another leap forward.

Firstly, its perceptiveness receives an overall enhancement. This allows the Uchiha to easily see through enemy hand seals and the general flow of chakra within their body, making it possible for them to copy opponents' ninjutsu techniques.

Secondly, the Three Tomoe Sharingan can store and use chakra. Because the chakra stored within the Sharingan is yin-based, the Three Tomoe Sharingan naturally possesses hypnotic capabilities.

Lastly, the Three Tomoe Sharingan enables usage of powerful dojutsu passed down through the Uchiha clan. For instance, [Kagami Tenkan: Mirror Heaven Reversal], which reflects genjutsu back at the opponent, or [Kakei Jō: Spiked Pole Binding], which pins enemies in place for interrogation. Most notably, it includes [Izanagi]—the perfect dojutsu capable of reversing life and death.

At this stage, the Three Tomoe Sharingan begins to surpass the Hyūga's Byakugan in combat effectiveness, although it remains slightly weaker when it comes to observation.

"Just one final piece," Aozora mused. He guessed that once he completed the inheritance of the Yin Yang Eye, his Sharingan would soon advance into the Three Tomoe stage.

Gazing at the golden droplets hovering over the Wordless Divine Book, Aozora hesitated for a moment.

After all, the thirty-two golden droplets within his Spiritual Sea had originally been intended to accelerate the growth of his Soul Division.

After a brief pause, Aozora returned to his bed, sat cross-legged on the heavenly book, and invoked the "Yin Yang Eye" in meditation.

The purpose of learning Embodiment Beyond the Self was for survival, and Izanagi—the dual-life granting Three Tomoe dojutsu—offered exactly that, albeit at the cost of permanently blinding the Sharingan.

Earlier, Fugaku had mentioned wanting to teach him a secret jutsu after awakening the Three Tomoe. Aozora suspected that this "secret jutsu" was none other than Izanagi.

More importantly, while cultivating the soul through gongde indeed offered a shortcut, Aozora still feared potential dangers lurking beneath its surface.

Within his Spiritual Sea, three faintly glowing ancient characters—Yin Yang Eye—appeared on the Wordless Heavenly Page. Instantly, the golden droplets on the page became lively.

The golden droplets quickly engulfed the three ancient characters.

After a long time passed, those characters transformed into brilliant golden script, and finally, the heavenly book calmed itself.

Aozora counted again—only nineteen golden droplets remained on the page now.

Not even pausing to mourn the painful sacrifice, he began accepting the inheritance.

As soon as his spirit touched those three words—"Yin Yang Eye"—a flood of knowledge and inherited wisdom surged into his mind.

Character by character, lines formed into paragraphs inside his consciousness.

Vivid scenes played out one after another in his mind.

All knowledge regarding Yang Eye cultivation, Yin Eye application, and unifying Yin and Yang flooded directly into Aozora's mind.

After what seemed like forever, Aozora opened his eyes and grinned widely. "At last, I have achieved it!"

After speaking these words, he closed his eyes and entered a deep meditative state.

Not long afterward, he opened his eyes once more.

At first, his eyes sparkled with energy—but otherwise looked completely normal, just like ordinary human eyes.

His black pupils gradually turned crimson, and within them, a single black tomoe emerged — soon followed by a second.

If there were other Uchiha present, they would surely feel astonished at this scene.

Because the Sharingan was an inherited clan bloodline ability, they relied purely on bodily instinct to activate and control the Sharingan.

Although they could choose whether to activate the Sharingan, none of them could control it with such precision.

Aozora's transformation wasn't over yet.

As chakra and spirit surged in, the crimson glow flared brighter. The twin black tomoe swelled and spun with increasing speed.

They spun so fast that even counting them became impossible.

At that moment, his crimson eyes revealed only a single black dot at the center, encircled by a dark ring.

Suddenly, a sharp pain pierced Aozora's eyes — and just like that, the world around him snapped into crystal clarity.

This was no illusion.

The Three-Tomoe Sharingan was significantly more perceptive than the Two-Tomoe Sharingan in dim environments!
