After that, Qianye explained his thoughts to the clansmen gathered before him. And once they fully understood what he meant, every single one of them stared back at him in shock!
Assist the Uchiha clan to awaken their Sharingan through illusion-induced stimulation?
Hmmm…
How should they even describe this…
It sounded like the biggest cheat they had ever heard.
Because up until now, all of them firmly believed that the Sharingan awakened only through emotionally intense experiences, just like in the manga records of their ancestors: fear, grief, loss, or the desire to protect someone.
If someone lived their whole life peacefully eating well, drinking well, no danger, no heartbreak then they might never awaken even a single tomoe before death.
But if someone experienced deep trauma, then as countless Uchiha before them had proven they might suddenly open their eyes.
So to the clan, the awakening had always contained a strong element of chance.
Yet here was Qianye,
boldly talking about intervening with that process.
And not only intervening he wanted to help the clansmen awaken their eyes in batches using genjutsu-induced emotional shocks?!
Completely insane!
Their patriarch must have gone mad!
What they didn't know, however, was that before proposing this relatively "normal" method, Qianye had actually considered something even more outrageous.
He had thought about going to Orochimaru,
and having him mass-produce cloned three-tomoe Sharingan, the way Orochimaru once created countless cloned sharingan cells and experimented on shinobi like Danzo.
Then those replicated eyes could be implanted into the bodies of clan members who had never awakened their own. No need for heartbreak, no need for trauma.
Just skip straight from nothing to fully developed Sangōtomoe.
Faster.
Simpler.
More efficient.
And although those wouldn't be the original eyes of the users,
they still had pure Uchiha blood.
Even if they couldn't draw out 100% synchronization with transplanted Sharingan,
achieving 90% would be child's play.
After all
Kakashi, who didn't have a single drop of Uchiha blood, could still wield Obito's Sharingan so effectively that he became known as "Copy Ninja Kakashi."
If someone like him could use the eye that well, then what about actual Uchiha?
Imagine a whole clan from the elders to the smallest children all equipped with three-tomoe Sharingan…
The thought alone was terrifying!!
At that point, forget Konoha's higher-ups.
Even if the five major shinobi nations combined their forces,
none of them would dare challenge a Uchiha clan with that level of ocular power.
If the clansmen standing in front of Qianye knew how far his imagination had gone,
they truly wouldn't know what kind of expression to show.
Fortunately for them,
Qianye never revealed this plan.
Not because he feared criticism or opposition but because he had already eliminated the idea himself.
First of all,
Orochimaru would be the key figure in such a plan.
And making Orochimaru obediently cooperate, without hidden motives or experiments of his own, was nearly impossible.
Secondand more importantly
eyes obtained from someone else could never evolve further.
A transplanted Sharingan could not awaken Mangekyō through the user's emotions,
nor could it undergo the natural progression connected to the wielder's own chakra.
So in the end, that path was discarded.
What the eyes looked like when they were implanted at the beginning would remain exactly what they would be from then on.
After all, they still weren't the user's original eyes.
You could only use the Sharingan's existing functions
but you could never evolve it further…
In other words, if this plan were implemented, then the upper limit of the clansmen would forever remain Sangōtomoe!
A whole group of Uchiha with fully matured three-tomoe Sharingan…
To be honest, this temptation was truly enormous for Qianye!
But
he eventually gave up.
Because he absolutely refused to place a ceiling on the future potential of his clan.
And with his system bound to the growth of the Uchiha,
only when the strength of his clansmen continued advancing could he continue receiving rewards.
If he personally set a maximum limit for his own people, wouldn't that be digging his own grave?
Even though the low-hanging fruit in front of him was alluring,
the same principle held true:
His goal was a sea of stars.
He firmly believed that the upper limit of the Uchiha in the future was definitely not merely Sangōtomoe!
It would go far beyond even to the level of Mangekyō or Eternal Mangekyō, the power once possessed by legends like Madara and Izuna.
...
Although Qianye's idea sounded unimaginably bold to them,
since it came from their patriarch, the clansmen still supported it unconditionally!
"But…" Qianye continued,
"everyone's psychological state is different, which means the emotional stimulus needed to meet the conditions for awakening varies from person to person."
"If the stimulus is too light, the eyes won't open."
"But if the stimulus is too strong, it could cause lasting psychological trauma, or even damage the brain's nerve pathways like what happened to some Uchiha in the clan's old medical records and that would make the entire attempt not worth the risk."
"So, before this project can officially begin, we still need a large amount of experimentation. We must accumulate enough experience."
Speaking up to this point,
Qianye looked toward Fugaku and said,
"Since this is an experiment, we need the cooperation of experimental subjects.
Uncle Fugaku, quietly recruit a group of volunteers within the clan, and pay them generously.
But at the same time, make sure you explain the risks clearly—failed experiments may be dangerous, so they must be mentally prepared."
"Alright," Fugaku replied immediately. "I'll go now."
...
That same afternoon, Fugaku brought a group of volunteers.
But the moment Qianye saw them, his expression instantly turned cold, and he said sharply:
"Go call Uchiha Kurata here. Right now!"
Uchiha Kurata was specifically responsible for the clan's livelihood affairs
especially the pensions and care of the elderly.
Fugaku quickly reached out and stopped Qianye.
"You misunderstand!
Although all these volunteers are elderly clansmen, they absolutely did not come because they lacked money to live."
As it turned out, every volunteer Fugaku brought was elderly some were even pushed in wheelchairs.
Upon seeing them, Qianye instinctively thought that this group of old folks, unable to work anymore, had been forced to volunteer because they had no financial security.
But Qianye had poured all his income back into the clan's livelihood!
He had provided generous pensions, stipends, medical support, and ensured that every member lived comfortably.
If some clansmen were still struggling to survive,
then it had to mean Uchiha Kurata was committing fraud behind his back!
But now it seemed that he had misunderstood.
An elderly man stepped forward with a smile and said,
"Thanks to the patriarch, we old folks are living extremely comfortable lives.
We spend our days basking in the sun, playing with the children, and receive generous pensions every month.
We never have to worry about food or clothing."
The anger in Qianye's eyes faded.
He asked in confusion, "Then why are you…"
Another elderly man chuckled and stepped forward.
"The young people in the clan all have important duties.
If something happened to them during the experiment, it would be a huge loss to the clan."
"But we old fellows who are no longer of much use are different."
"Let us use this chance to offer the last bit of strength we still have…"
To be honest,
using the elderly as experimental subjects was definitely the most cost-effective and least risky choice.
But even so,
Qianye still didn't want to do it.
Because he believed that the Uchiha clan should be equal.
No one should have to be sacrificed.
But
when this group of elders themselves chose to volunteer
Qianye was deeply moved.
For the first time, he truly felt the profound bond of blood woven through the Uchiha clan…
