Old Ram's Roar

Fugaku Uchiha felt that Zhang Miao was digging another pit for him, but what left him most helpless was that he had no choice but to jump into it!

To the Uchiha Clan, the Sharingan was simply too important. It could even be said that the Sharingan was the foundation of the Uchiha Clan's survival!

Therefore, any secret involving the Sharingan was equivalent to a secret concerning the Uchiha Clan's survival. For such a secret, even if they had to pay a tremendous price or even sacrifice some clan members, Fugaku Uchiha felt it would be worth it!

Yet Zhang Miao's condition was merely for him to bleat once, not to sacrifice any clan members. Objectively speaking, this was practically like a pie falling from the sky.

At that moment, Fugaku Uchiha suddenly felt somewhat ashamed.

In his view, if it had been anyone else who possessed such an enormous secret, they would definitely have come to the Uchiha Clan in exchange for huge benefits, and he certainly would have agreed.

But because of a child's prank, Zhang Miao had revealed such an important secret. It made Fugaku Uchiha feel as though he were deceiving a child.

With that thought, Fugaku Uchiha silently made up his mind. As long as he had the chance in the future, he would definitely compensate Zhang Miao properly.

Zhang Miao had no idea what Fugaku Uchiha was thinking. Seeing that he had remained silent for so long, Zhang Miao impatiently raised an eyebrow.

"Hey, Uncle Fugaku, it's just one 'baa.' Did you really need to think about it for so long?"

"Fine, I'll do it now!"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Fugaku Uchiha immediately nodded and let out a cry.

"Baa!"

But what Fugaku Uchiha had not expected was that Zhang Miao immediately shook his head as soon as he finished.

"Uncle Fugaku, that's not right. That was clearly the bleat of a young lamb, but at your age, you're already an old ram. So when you do it, you should stick out your tongue and drag out the sound a little, like this!"

As he spoke, Zhang Miao opened his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and let out a deep sheep-like bleat.

"Baa—"

Fugaku Uchiha: "..."

Damn it, wasn't it just a sheep sound? There was even a distinction between young lambs and old rams?

If it had been someone else, Fugaku Uchiha would definitely have thought they were deliberately making things difficult for him. But when it came to Zhang Miao, he did not think much of it.

It was perfectly normal for children to be picky about such things!

So Fugaku Uchiha imitated Zhang Miao's earlier pose, sticking out his tongue as he made the sound.

A deep sheep-like bleat immediately rang through the room.

"Baa—"

Before Fugaku Uchiha's bleat had even faded, the door was pulled open with a swish, and Mikoto Uchiha entered carrying a plate of snacks.

At that moment, Fugaku Uchiha had not even had time to pull his tongue back in!

Seeing her husband sticking out his tongue and imitating a sheep, Mikoto Uchiha covered her mouth in shock.

"Honey, you..."

Fugaku Uchiha: "..."

Damn it, why did someone always show up whenever he imitated a sheep?

Just as Fugaku Uchiha was at a loss over how to explain himself, Zhang Miao ran over with a patter and grinned at Mikoto Uchiha.

"Hehe, Uncle Fugaku was showing me how an old ram bleats. Oh, Aunt Mikoto, are these snacks for me?"

"Uh... yes, yes, they're for you. Here, take them!"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Mikoto Uchiha came back to her senses. She hurriedly nodded and handed the plate of snacks to him.

"Itachi will be back soon too. I need to hurry and buy some Mitarashi Dango. If I get there too late, they'll be sold out. You keep playing with Uncle Fugaku!"

With that, Mikoto Uchiha turned and hurried away. Only after she had gone far enough did Zhang Miao turn back to Fugaku Uchiha.

"Uncle Fugaku, shall we continue?"

"Hmph!" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Fugaku Uchiha's face darkened. He shot him an annoyed glare. "I've done what you asked. Now it's your turn, right?"

"Oh, I guess it is!"

Seeing Fugaku Uchiha's displeased expression, Zhang Miao scratched his head and put on a bashful look.

"Sorry, I forgot just now. Right, Uncle Fugaku, you want to know about the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, don't you? Fine, I'll tell you!"

As he said this, Zhang Miao's expression immediately turned serious, and his attitude became exceptionally earnest.

"Uncle Fugaku should know that above the three-tomoe Sharingan is the Mangekyo Sharingan. Although the Mangekyo Sharingan possesses extraordinarily powerful strength, it also has a huge side effect: once it is used too many times, the eyes will go blind!"

Fugaku Uchiha already knew that excessive use of the Mangekyo would cause blindness, so the moment Zhang Miao finished speaking, he immediately nodded.

"Mm, I know that. So does the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan not have that side effect?"

"Of course not. Otherwise, why would it be called the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?"

Hearing Fugaku Uchiha's question, Zhang Miao immediately laughed.

"The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, as its name implies, is a Mangekyo Sharingan that can be used forever. And beyond that, it possesses even more powerful abilities!"

"Even more powerful abilities?" Fugaku Uchiha became even more curious and hurriedly pressed on. "Abilities far beyond those of an ordinary Mangekyo?"

"Right!" Zhang Miao immediately nodded at Fugaku Uchiha's words. "To explain that ability, we have to start with the conditions for its evolution. To evolve an ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan into an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, one needs..."

Fugaku Uchiha truly hated Zhang Miao's habit of only saying half of what he meant. Seeing that Zhang Miao still refused to continue, he could not help pressing him again.

"What exactly do you need? Just say it!"

Seeing Fugaku Uchiha so anxious he was practically stamping his feet, Zhang Miao's lips curled up once more.

"I need Uncle Fugaku to bleat 'baa' one more time, then I'll tell you!"

Fugaku Uchiha: "..."

Damn it!

If anyone else had dared treat him like this, Fugaku Uchiha would have blasted them with a Great Fireball long ago. But facing Zhang Miao, though he was furious, he felt even more helpless.

After all, he was the one asking for help.

And from another perspective, as the clan head of the Uchiha Clan, he knew less about the Uchiha Clan than an outsider did. That made him deeply ashamed.

But this time, he had to get to the bottom of all this!

With that resolve, Fugaku Uchiha took a deep breath, opened his mouth wide, and let out a loud sheep-like bleat.

"Baa—"

As the saying went, "the second time comes naturally." This time, without Zhang Miao needing to say anything more, Fugaku Uchiha stuck out his tongue as he bleated. The sound was low and drawn-out, carrying a trace of resentment and indignation, like an enraged old ram!

The only regret was that before Fugaku Uchiha could finish this Old Ram's Roar, the door to the room opened again.

"Father, I'm back. Uh..."
