He Has the Right

"Don't think we have no one left!"

The middle-aged man spoke loudly and firmly, but to Habara, it sounded like the wail of a loser.

In the past, Habara had only guessed at how overwhelming the Mangekyō Sharingan's suppression of an ordinary Sharingan could be.

But now, he was completely certain. Such suppression was simply unimaginable, because whatever you had, the other person had it too—and theirs was stronger.

And whatever you did not have, they did, with abilities that were bizarre and unimaginably powerful. Even without being activated, it could enhance the state and strength of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

It could be said that the Mangekyō Sharingan and an ordinary Sharingan truly belonged to two different dimensions.

No wonder Uchiha Itachi and Obito had managed to wipe out the enormous Uchiha clan so easily, though Root had secretly assisted them as well.

But Habara would never allow such a thing to happen. Everything he was doing now was meant to completely snuff out that possibility!

Habara raised his head slightly and stared at the man before him. He Shook Head faintly. "That sounds good, but can you do it?"

As he spoke, Habara casually thrust the bamboo pole in his hand into the ground. At that moment, the chakra within him surged once again.

"Strength is not empty talk. No matter how nicely you put it, it is all fake. At the very least, what I see is that you cannot even force out my Mangekyō.

"Honestly, with strength like this, you still want to stage a coup? Even if you were going to rebel, did you never consider finding more allies?

"Not to mention managing your image, deciding on your goals, and uniting the hearts of the clan.

"With your hearts divided, what do you intend to use to rebel? You do not even have a goal. Do you want to fight all of Konoha?

"You think you are lions, but in my eyes, you are nothing more than sheep. Konoha probably thinks the same, or they would not have targeted me.

"After arguing for so many days, you should have noticed it already. This is Konoha trying to force you into making a move.

"Because once you do, Konoha will have an excuse to deal with all of us!"

At that, Habara took a deep breath. The Three Tomoe in his eyes began to spin even faster.

Along With that rotation, a suffocating, destructive force quietly began to spread through the Bamboo Forest!

"That is why I have always said that being hardline is not wrong, but becoming hardline to a certain extent is stupidity!

"Just like how Uchiha Zong and the others' blind compromises will only bring destruction, a tree that stands too tall will break, and extremes will reverse. You will inevitably bring about the destruction of the entire clan.

"And you wanted to see my Mangekyō, did you not? Then take a good look. Feel it properly!"

As his words fell, the Three Tomoe in Habara's eyes had already merged together.

The bizarre pattern, accompanied by that terrifying power, made the already eerie Bamboo Forest even more chilling!

In an instant, Azure Chakra began to emerge around Habara. It madly covered his body, slowly taking the shape of ribs.

Seeing this, everyone present involuntarily swallowed. The bodies of the Elders, in particular, began to tremble.

"Susanoo."

When they had seen Habara's Sharingan with its bizarre pattern, the hardliner Elders had already grown excited. This was the first time they had personally witnessed a Mangekyō in the younger generation!

Although Shisui also possessed a Mangekyō, Shisui stood behind Uchiha Zong, placing him in a completely different camp from them.

Moreover, Shisui was an Anbu member and spent long periods away from the clan. He rarely even attended Clan Meetings, so they had never seen Shisui's Mangekyō at all.

Thinking about it, the situation truly was incredibly upsetting. They were clearly one family, yet they had become so unfamiliar and hostile toward one another.

Perhaps this was what Habara meant: with the clan's hearts divided, how could they dream of staging a coup?

Although Habara was not on their side either, and in some ways this man was far worse than Shisui by an unknown amount.

But upon careful thought, Habara truly had the grounds for such an attitude, because he had not only awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan—he was already capable of using Susanoo!

Most of them had lived through the period when Uchiha Madara left, and they had also experienced the era when Uchiha Chirri's four pairs of Mangekyō fought in chaos.

Even if they had not awakened the Mangekyō themselves, they understood that every Mangekyō possessed different ocular techniques. And the greatest power hidden within every Mangekyō was Susanoo.

Every Mangekyō could indeed manifest its own Susanoo, but not every person with a Mangekyō could use that ability.

Because using this technique not only required an extremely high level of proficiency with the Mangekyō, it also damaged one's Mangekyō.

Yet Habara was able to use this technique smoothly and effortlessly now. That alone showed just how great his control over his Mangekyō was.

Looking at the middle-aged man, who faced Susanoo—even Susanoo in its most basic form—and appeared uncomfortable and frightened.

The old man from the hardliners who had spoken earlier let out a helpless sigh. He slowly stepped forward and finally stood in front of the middle-aged man.

"That is enough, Habara-kun. It is enough already."

"Elder."

Seeing what the Elder had done, the middle-aged man could not help feeling ashamed. He lowered his head, seemingly no longer daring to face Habara's eyes.

Others might not have been able to feel it, but as the one directly facing Habara's greatest pressure, he understood best how terrifying the despair that arose from the depths of one's heart was after being locked onto by a Mangekyō.

He did not even know how much Courage he had summoned to face all of this. If possible, he truly did not want to go through it again.

"That is enough, Tomoya. If you are not his opponent, then you are not his opponent. Besides, Habara-kun is not trying to humiliate us."

The Elder lightly Shook Head, signaling the middle-aged man to stop speaking. Only then did he seriously Looked Towards Habara.

"Habara-kun possesses this strength. He stands at a height we cannot reach.

"He looks down upon all of us. He has the right to do anything he wants.

"Let everyone leave. I believe you should all understand just how great the gap is now."

With that, the Elder ignored Uchiha Tomoya behind him and continued forward. When he reached Habara, he gazed into Habara's eyes.

His action made Habara frown. In this Old Man's eyes, Habara saw obsession, as well as boundless longing.

However, the Old Man seemed to realize that his behavior was somewhat excessive, and he quickly came back to his senses.

Only after his expression appeared much more normal did he speak faintly. "Habara-kun, I think we can have a proper talk now."

"Oh?" Habara raised a brow, then could not help revealing a smile. "Don't you need to take another look at my state beneath the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"There is no need. This is enough."

The Old Man Shook Head before speaking seriously.

"Habara-kun, there is no need to maintain this state either. It is not good for your eyes."
