Chapter 9 - The Uchiha Stone Tablet and Jutsu

After reaching the Naka shrine, Aino looked around until she found Fugaku.

"Follow me."

He walked to the seventh tatami mat from the far right and removed it to expose stairs.

After going down the stairs, Aino looked around her and found a room with a tablet in the middle.

"What is this room?" She asked looking at Fugaku.

"This is where the clan holds its high-level meetings you can only participate if the clan head and elders acknowledge you as someone who can become a pillar of the clan."

"Then why are we here?"

"Because of that" Said Fugaku while pointing at the stone tablet "This is the Uchiha stone tablet. It can only be read with Sharingan. Try to read it."

She did as told and tried to read it, but wasn't able to do so.

"now use your Sharingan." She activated her Sharingan and noticed that she couldn't read it entirely.

She looked at him with a questioning look, but before she could say anything he said: "Try with the Mangekyo."

After activating her Mangekyo and reading the tablet she realised she still couldn't read it entirely. 'Does this mean there are still more evolutions to the Sharingan.' she thought before looking to Fugaku's direction.

"The secrets of the Mangekyō Sharingan, instructions on how to obtain it, and its ability to control tailed beasts. The story of the Sage of Six Paths, the Infinite Tsukuyomi and how the Uchiha would be saved by it and finally the curse of hatred."

" {Seeking stability, one god was divided into yin and yang, these opposing two acting together obtain all things in creation} This sentence most likely holds the secret to the Mangekyo Sharingan's evolution. could you read anymore?" Explained Fugaku.

"No, that's what I read as well." Answered Aino shocked at the discovery of all this information.

"the clan used to have quite a number of Mangekyo holders, but most died in the Second and Third Great Ninja wars. Right now I believe we aren't the only two to have the Mangekyo in the clan, most likely some of the elders have it, but are almost blind from overusing it and the non-elders that have most likely don't know what it is or how to use it."(A/N: As you might've guessed this last paragraph was made up by me it has no support from canon, but I think it's pretty logical).

"Then what do we do?"

"Nothing. It's better that nobody knows about others having the Mangekyo, so if they think of something stupid I might be able to stop them. Now go back, if, in the future, I can't suppress the elders if they think of something stupid, I'll ask for your help." Said Fugaku then both of them left.

The next day, as Raiden was getting ready to go on his usual run his mom stopped him.

"Wait, from today on, you'll train your body in free time. I'll teach you how to control your chakra and the Uchiha signature fire Jutsus, ok?"

"I'm finally going to learn Jutsus. YES!" He said while throwing his fist in the air.

"Ok, follow me." Aino went out to a lake in the Uchiha compound. Itachi was standing on the docks where he was weaving hand signs, suddenly he stopped and spat out a huge fireball that made the water level go down by a few centimetres.

Raiden was gobsmacked at the scene.

"This is the top Uchiha prodigy. He's even better than some genins." Said Aino also a bit shocked at Itachi's mastery of the fireball Jutsu. After seeing them standing behind him Itachi greeted them and left to continue his training elsewhere, but before he was completely out of their range they heard a violent coughing sound come from him. Aino frowned at the sound before throwing it to the back of her head and focusing on Raiden.

"Ok, you saw what he did right, that was the Uchiha clans most basic fire Jutsu: Fireball Jutsu. A C-Rank technique. Before learning Jutsu I'll explain what they are, Jutsus are the mystical arts a ninja will utilize in battle. To perform a Jutsu, the ninja will bring out and release the two energies of chakra. By forming hand seals in a specific time frame, the ninja is able to manifest the desired Jutsu. There are different sequences of hand seals for every technique, requiring memorisation. While techniques may require a number of hand seals to work, a skilled ninja can use less or even one to perform the same technique. An example of this is the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique, which requires a total of 44 hand seals to activate, Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, only needed to use one hand seal to complete the technique, a testament to his skill. So from today, you'll start practicing hand seals as well."

"More and more training, now I have to practice my chakra control and hand seals while trying to learn new Jutsu." He sounded bummed out but looked excited to gain strength.

"Now the basic hand seals are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Hare, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Bird, Dog, Boar." Said Aino while showing him the hand seals.

"I'll also show you the hand seals for the Fire release: Great fireball technique you just saw. they are Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger." Said Aino while preforming the Jutsu and spitting out a ball of fire.

"Now you probably won't be able to use it as you just learnt hand seals, but give it a shot anyway." Said Aino while giving him space.

Raiden stepped forward and took a deep breath then did the hand signs Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger in quick succession and breathed out a fireball about half the size of Itachi's fireball.

"Good job looks like you're a genius in hand seals too." she said while smiling.

"Also once you master the leaf exercise and this Jutsu I'll teach you how to use your Sharingan." After consulting with Fugaku yesterday she decided to start teaching him how to use his Sharingan.

"Huh, what did you say?! I have the Sharingan!!"
