Eternal!
Perhaps the concept of the Eternal Eye did not exist originally. It was just that Uchiha Madara coincidentally used Izuna's eyes, which caused the pupil power of the two Mangekyou to overlap, thereby tearing apart the sealing jutsu formula inside Uchiha Madara's body.
Uchiha Madara, who obtained infinite pupil power, perhaps didn't think about the origin himself, and casually named this stage the Eternal Eye?
Then—the next question.
The Uchiha's pupil power was sealed, so did the Senju clan also have it?
He thought of Senju Hashirama!
This guy who was the only one who could actively awaken Wood Style was also out of place with other Senju clan members.
Then can it also be said that there was also some kind of sealing jutsu formula in the chakra of the Senju?
Senju Hashirama, this generation's Asura, could break the sealing jutsu formula and awaken Wood Style because the reincarnation time was long and his strength became stronger? Or was it deliberately done by the Sage of Six Paths...
Feeling that Uchiha Madara 'coincidentally' merged with his brother Izuna's eyes, thereby accidentally breaking the sealing jutsu formula on his pupil power, so he decided to actively break the seal inside Senju Hashirama, so that the two sons could continue to be evenly matched?
Don't know, not sure!
Uchiha Jin's mind was messy; these were just his guesses.
But the only thing that was certain was that the water in this ninja world was indeed quite deep.
First.
The Otsutsuki planted the Divine Tree to harvest the planet's energy. The situation in the ninja world was actually just a special case. Chakra was invented and used by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, which most likely just leveraged a part of the Divine Tree's functions.
Essentially.
Perhaps even the mother and son, Kaguya and Hagoromo, only knew a little about the Divine Tree, and only developed a part of its functions.
There was no helping it!
Kaguya herself was just a member of the Otsutsuki branch family, originally destined to be devoured by the Divine Tree. How could she know the full functions of the Divine Tree?
So another possibility was that the Uchiha's pupil power was sealed, and perhaps even Hagoromo didn't know this!
"Anyway, it's a good thing!"
"At least in this confused way, I directly got the Eternal Eye?"
"Although Kaguya can directly devour chakra, the function of the Pure Land created by Hagoromo is unclear, and the infinite chakra of the Impure World Reincarnation bodies can all prove that there might be a conspiracy in the essence of chakra..."
"But, it's too far away!"
"For me now, worrying about these is unnecessary. Finding a way to enhance strength first is the way to go."
"Of course, from a long-term perspective, it is more practical to set aside more time to ponder my pagoda."
"After all, compared to the chakra system, I am more willing to believe in this pagoda."
Uchiha Jin's eyes flickered.
His brain began to spin rapidly. Just as he was constantly thinking about the pros and cons, he suddenly received some messages from the pagoda.
[Insufficient energy, activation failed!]
[Detected that the host's spiritual power was invaded by an 'unknown' pollution source. The residual consciousness fragments of the 'unknown' strong person in the host's body have been initially cleaned up, and the so-called unknown seal hidden in the host's body has been torn apart...]
[Please strengthen your power as much as possible and improve your own luck. The Hongmeng Pagoda will absorb the host's luck autonomously. It still requires 72% luck value consumption to activate.]
No one actually spoke; what Uchiha Jin received was just a consciousness.
But his eyes lit up instantly because what he feared was not how difficult the road ahead was, but not finding the direction to strive for.
Strengthen power, improve luck?
A faint smile began to appear on the corner of Uchiha Jin's mouth.
...
Two days later, late at night.
Jiraiya, who could no longer slack off, now had dull eyes, and his straight back began to hunch. Sitting behind the Hokage's desk, his whole face was written with decadence.
"Old man, isn't it time to get off work?"
"Why don't you take this position? Can't I just go out for some fresh air?"
"The Cloud Village will sign a peace treaty with the village tomorrow. We don't have anything else to do now, do we?"
"I just want to accompany Naruto now. You know that child feels bad."
"After all, he only learned his true identity from the enemy's rumors. Plus, among the enemy's rumors, there are many slanders against Minato and you. If I don't watch him, I'm afraid that child will overthink!"
"I'm also doing this for the village!"
Jiraiya was roaring, his face full of displeasure.
Ever since becoming the Fifth Hokage two years ago, he felt his life had turned into a tragedy.
Before, he could sneakily go to the women's bathhouse to gather material. Now that he was the Hokage, it was inconvenient to do that kind of thing. And Sarutobi Hiruzen, this damned old man, he had been asking for that broken crystal ball for a long time.
He just wouldn't give it!
Within two years.
In order to wipe Sarutobi Hiruzen's ass, he had staked his lifelong reputation. Looking at the half-dead village now, he was really tired and exhausted.
It was already 9:30 PM, and he couldn't even go out for some fresh air?
On the other side.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat not far away, still smoking unhurriedly.
He just glanced at Jiraiya calmly, and then said in an unhurried tone: "Jiraiya, you should be more mature. I am teaching you how to be a good Hokage."
"When this old man was the Hokage back then, I never left the office before twelve o'clock at night."
"Hurry up, review the documents!"
"Tomorrow is the day to officially sign the peace treaty with the Cloud Village. You definitely won't have time to handle these administrative tasks tomorrow, so you must finish all these documents tonight."
After speaking.
Sarutobi Hiruzen moved out a pile of documents half the height of a person and slammed them heavily on the desk.
However.
What he said was not the truth. Perhaps he handled many documents before, but definitely not as many as Jiraiya.
Hmm, yes.
He did it on purpose!
Sarutobi Hiruzen not only handed over the documents that the Hokage needed to handle to him, but even dumped almost all the work of Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Nara Shikaku directly on Jiraiya's head.
The reason was simple!
To keep Jiraiya in the Hokage's office as much as possible, and prevent him from contacting the situation in the village as much as possible.
Otherwise...
What if Jiraiya knew what he had done in the past two years and wanted to beat him to death in anger?
There was no helping it.
He had done a lot of dirty things in the past two years, such as forcibly squeezing the village's ninjas to do missions, and giving even less commission money than before he took office. He even forced all villagers not to move out of the village, and ninjas had to ensure their families stayed in Konoha when going on missions...
In the past, in order to maintain the Hokage's white lotus image, he would cover up such things because he cared about his face.
Now?
No cover at all!
As for whether it would damage his reputation?
Hehe, it won't!
Leaving aside that his reputation was already bad enough, the key was that he was now just an advisor elder without power. The current Fifth Hokage was Jiraiya, okay?
Even if the villagers wanted to scold someone, they would scold Jiraiya!
