"Is this the power of the Mangekyo without side effects?!"
Uchiha Tamahiko stood at the bow of the ship, his Mangekyo Sharingan activated, scanning the surroundings freely.
The power of his bloodline awakening, as Uchiha Tamahiko had guessed, was most likely Indra's bloodline, and he wasn't lucky enough to reach the level of Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
This bloodline's power was on par with Uchiha Madara before his death.
He possessed a Mangekyo Sharingan without side effects, capable of activating a Gundam-like mode.
At the same time, he possessed an extremely vast Chakra, enough to fight the First Hokage for three days and three nights. For the previous Uchiha Tamahiko, this was an improvement of over dozens of times!
His physical fitness also improved significantly, at least several times stronger than his previous body.
Now, Uchiha Tamahiko felt he could activate the Six Gates.
"According to my memories, fighting one of the Four Emperors doesn't seem to be a problem, but two, that feels very difficult," Uchiha Tamahiko analyzed.
After all, he hadn't encountered the peak powers of this world yet.
Bartholomew Kuma was still far from his peak, too far, and couldn't be used as a quantification of strength to judge a target.
At the very least, Doflamingo's level, though a bit short of a First Commander, could give a general idea of the power level.
"However, I still need to solve the bloodline problem of the other Uchiha Clan members. It seems the bloodline does have flaws."
"The most perfect is Otsutsuki Hagoromo's type, directly evolving Three Tomoe into Rinnegan. Next is Indra's, which is my current level, where I don't need to exchange Mangekyo Sharingan with a loved one to use it without side effects, and can activate the Gundam Susanoo state."
"Now, if I return to the Ninja World and use first hokage cells, I should be able to awaken the Rinnegan."
"However, the Ninja World is indeed very deep. Relying solely on the power of the Rinnegan might not be enough. Otsutsuki Hagoromo lived for so many years; who knows what else he prepared?"
"Just the Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara is someone I'm not confident against. It's better to develop for a while longer."
Although Uchiha Tamahiko's strength had surged, he still felt it wasn't stable enough to return to the Ninja World now.
While taking down Konoha would be easy, there would be more complications to deal with afterward.
Anyway, Konoha wouldn't collapse anytime soon, and the Uchiha were rapidly developing in this world. He planned to wait for a period before returning to the Ninja World to resolve everything at once.
"A new mission. I feel that what I've done has still brought about changes."
After Uchiha Tamahiko decided to continue adventuring on the high seas, he began to ponder how to approach his next mission.
[The World's Peak]In the Marineford War, join either the Pirate or Marine side.
Pirate side objective: Rescue Fire Fist Ace. If the Whitebeard Pirates' casualty rate exceeds 50%, the mission fails.
Marine side objective: Annihilate the Blackbeard Pirates, total annihilation. If even one survives, the mission fails.
Mission success: Obtain Armament Haki [Internal Destruction], Observation Haki [Short-term Future Sight], Haoshoku Haki [External Release].
Mission failure: System retrieval.
"It's indeed the Marineford War scenario, but because of what I've done, will it turn into a one-time elimination of two kings' sons?"
"If the Revolutionary Army also joins in, the situation will become much more complicated!"
"Should I directly choose to help save Ace?"
Uchiha Tamahiko also had a headache over this.
However, he didn't regret using Luffy to gain the Shichibukai position. This was already the simplest method.
Other methods to become a Shichibukai would not be a quick matter. He would have to take risks, do things that offend the World Government, and raise his bounty to 500 million, which would have a greater impact on the Uchiha Clan.
Although he gave Luffy some help, he didn't know what would happen afterward. It was hard to say whether the World Government had the ability to eliminate two kings' sons at once.
"Forget it, I'll decide then. The three Admirals on the Marine side are tough to fight, and there's also Sengoku and Garp. On the pirate side, there's just Whitebeard, and he's not at his peak. But if Monkey D. Dragon really shows up with the Revolutionary Army, they'll also be difficult to deal with. I'll see then."
Uchiha Tamahiko decided to act according to the situation.
He would see which option was easier and could bring more help to the Uchiha.
After sailing for five days, they returned to Spring Queen City.
During this time, the news of Uchiha Tamahiko becoming a Shichibukai, including the Uchiha Clan crest, spread throughout the entire sea.
"You all stay here, hunt pirates, and exchange them for bounty money."
"I will come back in ten days, gather everyone, form a team, and then go to more distant places to hunt pirates."
Uchiha Tamahiko said to CP9 and the ten clan members who stayed behind.
He also left the Marine warship for them, letting them work hard to earn money.
The strength of these personnel was sufficient to deal with pirate crews below 300 million Berries. In this first half of the Grand Line, it would be difficult to encounter such enemies.
Even Supernovas might not be able to withstand them.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Tamahiko and the others bought a small boat at the port and, after a day, returned to the isolated island where the Uchiha Clan currently resided.
Uchiha Fugaku had known about Uchiha Tamahiko becoming a Shichibukai on the very day the news broke.
In these past few days, he had also gathered intelligence from clan members who went out, understanding the specific situation of this world. It was indeed as Uchiha Tamahiko had said.
The position of a Seven Warlords of the Sea could bring too many conveniences to the Uchiha Clan.
It was almost a world of difference from being confined and treated like dogs in Konoha.
"Captain Fugaku, don't take this matter too seriously. This is just the beginning."
"In this world, the Uchiha will not be much safer than in the Ninja World, because of these eyes!"
"This power will eventually be exposed. They also don't know that non-Uchiha Clan members will suffer side effects when using these eyes."
"They will only covet the power these eyes bring. At that time, we will end up like the Hyuga Clan's Main Family, with our eyes targeted."
Uchiha Tamahiko directly shattered Uchiha Fugaku's illusions.
The power of the Sharingan was enough to tempt many people.
The Four Emperors, and even the World Government, all had the strength to deal with the Uchiha.
Keeping the Uchiha Clan contained and under his constant watch might be fine, but if they left the range he could control, they would surely be attacked.
This situation was not what Uchiha Tamahiko wanted.
"Hmph, I understand!"
"I will restrain the clan members and tell them not to wander off."
Uchiha Fugaku broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this explanation.
If the Uchiha Clan were targeted and constantly had their eyes dug out, he truly couldn't accept such a thing.
"This kind of risk will only disappear when the Uchiha possess absolute power, making everyone fear them, and when even obtaining these eyes, they cannot be used."
"Regarding the Uchiha Clan's bloodline problem, I will explain it clearly to everyone this time and find a way to resolve it."
Uchiha Tamahiko said to Uchiha Fugaku.
