3 Just Something You Would Like to be put on Auxiliary Vol.

There were 5 stages in mastering the Sutra of Infinite Consciousness. The first stage was splitting his consciousness to two, second was to ten, third was to a hundred, fourth was to a thousand and the last stage was ten thousand. According to Tian Lou, the only one who mastered the sutra was the creator and according to the one written on the manual, it is also possible that it might be able to reach the hundred thousands or even more.

Since it was easy, Ryu already comprehended the first stage and is using the Universe Ring to master it. But even though it has similar concept to clone techniques, it was still hard to familiarize in using it. It felt weird that there was another mind thinking together with him.

An hour later, he finally managed to familiarize himself with the first stage. But he did not try learning the second stage, he needed to do many things.

...

Currently, Ryu is in the border between the Hidden Stone and the Hidden Leaf. It has been a year since the war started. His team was ordered to send help to escort a caravan to a small village in the border that was made as a base of operations for Konoha ninjas, but was ambushed and their jounin team leader was killed just for them to escape. His other two teammates managed to escape but he was chased because of his eyes. The famed Uchiha Clan Eye Bloodline that started during even before the Warring stated period.

And today was the Third Great Shinobi war. A war between all of all the Hidden Villages and there was an unspoken order that any Uchiha and Hyuga clan members encountered was the first that needed to be eliminated at all cost. So he was chased and if not for his lucky encounter, he was sure to have been killed.

He sighed, but still jumped to a branch of a tree and started dashing with great speed towards Konoha, he needed to report to the patriarch, Uchiha Fugaku and Sarutobi, the Hokage! Although he was just a war orphan from the Second Great Shinobi War, the Clan Head still treated him nicely, well, he treated everyone equally.

It got even better because of his talents, a talent that has never been seen before. It was also because of this that he was told to hide in the academy without exposing his sharingan to anyone, not even to Danzo or the Hokage! So this time, he was still just a genin with a little over average performance in the academy. It was only when he was forced to 'flee' from the enemies earlier that he exposed his sharingan. He also has that cute son of his, named Uchiha Itachi.

He was cold to anyone, not because of arrogance but because of his secrets and he did not want anyone to be involved. If it wasn't because it was mandatory get a mission in teams, he would have preferred to go alone. And if he get a friend, his tongue might slip and say something. It's not that he did not trust a friend, but the world is currently in the middle of a war as he might get targeted by the enemies and especially Danzo who the patriarch told him to be wary of.

That was all thanks to the patriarch, he even used his power to eliminate his suspected spies and control the other elders in the clan, eliminating his secrets from the outside world. But this time, he also knew that he needed to hide his recent secrets from the patriarch. Even a good man can turn into evil because of greed. Because if this went out, it will really cause an all out war between every clan or even individuals. Especially the situation the clan was currently facing.

...

On the way, he started to familiarize himself with the massive amount of chakra his body has, causing him to slow down his speed. He also found out that his body is very sensitive to all kinds of energy, he could notice just someone staring at him at a great distance even of the person conceals his presence which also led him to killing several dozens of enemies from different hidden villages.

Also there was another energy that he could sense, it seemed to come from the surroundings, plants animals, or in anything that has life. Before, he could only sense it while sitting completely still until he gradually he could sense it while moving from slow movements until he could still sense it while running but he still needed concentration to do so.

When he tried absorbing it, his blood that was as calm as water suddenly started trembling, like it was excited. His chakra also did not reject the energy but melded with it. When that happened his battle sense, strength, ninjutsu's clearly got stronger than before. What was strange was, when his chakra reserves seemed full with the new energy, the excess energy was absorbed by his blood.

Clearly, it was the energy needed to strengthen the bloodline that was given to him by Tian Lou. According to Tian Lou, the very first stage of awakening the Dragon bloodline was to absorb enough natural energy from the surroundings.

He also said that he needed to sense it first, which could take months before he could. He also said that the number one genius throughout all of the era sensed the natural energy in one month. Tian Lou himself needed two and a half months to sense it, and that already made him one of the monsters in his generation.

But the greatest change was in his body and appearance. His eyes with activated sharingan turned blue but the tomoe is still present. There was also a red scale-like tattoo mark below his eyes and his nails grew long, sturdier and turned dark. (Just imagine Natsu.) He called the form Sage Mode!

But Ryu already sensed it after just a few days. So, does that make him the new number one genius in the history of all realms?!

That thought made him smile, a smile that could melt every girls heart. In fact, Ryu was a cute boy, and it was clear that he will grow into a very handsome man. It wasn't just his strength that rose, his body was also reformed, expelling impurities which caused his body to produce a very faint unique smell. His spiritual energy become a lot stronger which added to strengthening his ninjutsu's and increasing his intelligence which is also a huge help in casting genjutsu's!

...

A week later, he finally reached the large entrance on the walled village of the Hidden Leaf. And since war has raged, there are naturally guards on the huge gate, two of them.

"Halt! Identify yourself!" a guard with a jounin attire shouted at Ryu. His eyes were gray, apparently he is a Hyuga clansmen. A perfect man for the job as he could determine if it was an enemy or a friend using his eye bloodline. The other jounin looked to be unaffiliated to any clan, but he was definitely one of the stronger ones.

Ryu stopped and answered back, "Uchiha Ryu, from the Uchiha Clan! I am here to report about our mission!"

The Hyuga guy activated his byakugan and scanned Ryu, but he did not see something wrong. As guards, they have authorities to scan any person to and fro.

"You may pass. " the Hyuuga guy said.

"Uchiha Ryu? So you survived! Your two other team mates just got back 5 days ago, I was stationed here when they returned. They to mentioned you, my condolences for your teacher. Although I don't know what happened, I can more or less tell what happened. " In war, it wasn't uncommon for a team to lose their teacher or a fellow student in a team for protecting another. Though not common, it wasn't rare either to abandon an ally if their lives are in danger.

"Thank you..." Ryu said when he noticed the emotion in the man's voice. It seemed that he also have similar experience. He passed by the gate and dashed towards the building of the Hokage. Although his two teammates probably told them what happened, he still needed to confirm that he is still alive. That way, he would be able to help when needed.
