"I am very pleased that you can use Susanoo while in the three-tomoe Sharingan state. This greatly enhances your combat power."

"However, you must understand that the Uchiha clan's Sharingan has many issues, especially the Mangekyo Sharingan. With its awakening, the Uchiha's emotions become unstable, and their actions can even become extreme."

Mito cautioned Kazuki, "Wood Release complements the Sage Body well. Of course, you also need to avoid some troubles."

"Don't drain your Chakra like Hashirama. You are still young, and your talent surpasses both Hashirama and Madara. Even if you can't defeat them now, you will certainly surpass them in the future."

"I understand, Grandma Mito."

Kazuki thought that Wood Release and Sharingan might actually be inherited from the Ten-Tails' power, and even the Uzumaki clan's chains were inherited from the Ten-Tails.

If you really consider it, Hagoromo's power was mostly inherited from the Ten-Tails, while Hamura's power was more like Kaguya's.

This is also why the Nine-Tails is restrained by the Uchiha, Senju, and even the Uzumaki clan's power. After all, those powers come from the Ten-Tails, and the Ten-Tails is the ultimate counter to these Tailed Beasts.

Previously, even with Kazuki's exceptional talent, he had no confidence in developing Wood Release, but now it's different.

Now, he has the most authentic Sage Body and Chakra of both water and earth attributes, which the previous Kazuki didn't use particularly well. But now, he has mastered them thanks to Asura's physique. Coupled with extreme Yang Release, Wood Release is not a problem for him.

If you really consider it, Kazuki now seems more like Hashirama.

After all, his Mangekyo Sharingan's ocular jutsu has not yet awakened.

Of course, if you really consider it, he is still most like the Ōtsutsuki.

Kazuki wondered if the Great Toad Sage would be startled if he saw the current him.

Compared to Katsuyu, the Great Toad Sage clearly understands the Sage of Six Paths better. Given the aura on Kazuki now, it would be strange if the Great Toad Sage didn't become confused.

"Oh, right, are you willing to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" As if thinking of something, Mito asked Kazuki.

"Become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" Kazuki frowned.

"I have no ill will towards the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tailed should more or less enhance my strength, but if the Nine-Tails doesn't cooperate with me, it might become a burden."

If the Nine-Tails could cooperate with him, and he could then acquire the Chakra of other Tailed Beasts, Kazuki was confident he could learn the so-called Six Paths Sage Mode.

As for becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he would not try it.

Who knows if Kaguya left a hidden move there?

Of course, he was more optimistic about the combat arena. If the combat arena could produce a Ten-Tails that completely belonged to him, he wouldn't mind becoming the Ten-Tails itself.

"Hmm, you can go out now. If you have any questions, you can ask me. I need to think about how to deal with Madara."

Mito pondered for a moment, then cautioned Kazuki again, "Also, for now, don't tell anyone else about Madara. Only you, I, and the Nine-Tails need to know."

Pausing, Mito continued to instruct Kazuki, "Oh, right, if you have time, you can go see Setsuna."

"Setsuna?" Kazuki looked at Mito with a hint of surprise.

Kazuki was not unfamiliar with Setsuna. Setsuna was quite dissatisfied with the Second Hokage Tobirama's policy for governing the Uchiha clan, constantly desiring to reclaim sovereignty from the Senju clan.

Later, his instigation of Uchiha clan members to rebel and cause trouble was discovered by Tobirama, and he was eventually arrested by the Anbu.

That Anbu was actually Kagami. Given Tobirama's political acumen, if he was to arrest an Uchiha, he certainly couldn't let the Uchiha raise an issue. Therefore, Kagami was the best choice.

Setsuna was arrested by his own Uchiha people, and it was voluntary, so he, the Hokage, cannot be said to be interfering in their family matters.

Or are they Uchiha actually agreeing that Setsuna's words were inciting rebellion?

Facing the assertive Tobirama, although the Uchiha harbored much dissatisfaction, they could not defeat Konoha.

Before, they only fought the Senju clan. Now, they would have to fight all of Konoha. Where would they get the confidence?

Konoha also had Mito!

Within the Uchiha, there wasn't even one person who could contend with Tobirama.

Of course, Kazuki actually harbored no strong ill will towards Setsuna. After all, from an outsider's perspective, Setsuna's viewpoint was correct. Tobirama's policies targeting the Uchiha were indeed disgusting.

The so-called Konoha Military Police Force domesticated the Uchiha clan. Of course, the current Konoha Military Police Force holds considerable power.

But are domesticated Uchiha still Uchiha?

The Uchiha are a combat clan!

Uchiha who don't go to the battlefield will see their combat power continuously decline.

Of course, Kazuki would not stand up for Setsuna either, because ultimately, given his identity, criticizing Setsuna was a form of political correctness.

In this day and age, there's no right or wrong. Taking the correct stance is what matters most.

From Kazuki's current perspective, could he say that his father, Kagami, made a mistake?

Was maintaining the relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha a mistake?

If Setsuna had truly started a rebellion, could the Uchiha clan still exist?

If you want to rebel, you need to have enough strength, right?

Tobirama, Mito, Hiruzen—how could the Uchiha fight these people?

Setsuna might have had foresight in some aspects, but he lacked common sense. Did he think he was Madara?

Mito said with a sigh, "The Uchiha clan at that time was simply not capable of rebelling, yet Setsuna incited the hardliners to revolt. There must have been something fishy going on."

"Thinking back now, could it have been related to Madara? After all, Setsuna was considered a follower of Madara back then."

"I just don't know why, when Madara left Konoha, no one followed him."
