Evolution Method of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan

The one who came through the door was none other than Itachi Uchiha, who had just returned from school.

Since Zhang Miao had arranged to see him yesterday, Itachi Uchiha had hurried home after school. After parting with Izumi Uchiha at the intersection, he had even jogged all the way back.

As soon as he reached his doorstep, he ran into Mikoto Uchiha, who was just heading out. He had originally planned to go shopping with his mother, but Mikoto Uchiha refused and told him to stay home and play with Zhang Miao instead.

It was precisely because of all this that when Fugaku Uchiha let out an old sheep's bleat, Itachi Uchiha caught him red-handed.

Sitting nearby and watching the dumbfounded father and son, Zhang Miao immediately burst into wild laughter.

"Wahahahaha..."

Zhang Miao's laughter snapped Itachi Uchiha out of his daze. Looking at his father with his tongue stretched out, bleating like a sheep, and Zhang Miao beside him laughing so hard he had toppled sideways onto the cushion, he swiftly shut the door he had just opened.

At the sight of this, Zhang Miao laughed even louder.

"Hahahaha... Uncle Fugaku, is this what they call 'a lifetime of dignity scattered in a single day'? Hahahaha..."

Fugaku Uchiha: "..."

What the hell are you laughing at?!

Who do you think caused this?

With that thought, Fugaku Uchiha shot Zhang Miao an irritated glare, then coughed twice.

"Ahem... Is Itachi back? Come in!"

"Yes, Father!"

Only then did Itachi Uchiha pull the door open and walk inside. Then he picked up Sasuke, who was playing on the floor, and held him in his arms.

At that moment, something none of them could have anticipated happened. Sasuke, who had been quietly playing on the floor, suddenly let out a babyish cry after Itachi Uchiha picked him up.

"Baa..."

Hearing the sound Sasuke made, Fugaku Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha both froze. Zhang Miao, who had only just straightened up, collapsed laughing onto the cushion again.

"Wahahaha..." He laughed as he pounded the floor hard. "One old sheep, one little sheep, baa... Ahahaha..."

Fugaku Uchiha: "..."

Itachi Uchiha: "..."

Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere in the room was off, Itachi Uchiha immediately stood up with Sasuke in his arms, then bowed to Fugaku Uchiha.

"Father, I'll go put Sasuke to sleep first!"

With that, Itachi Uchiha left. The instant the door slid shut, Zhang Miao heard the system notification.

"Ding—Congratulations, Host, for successfully making Fugaku Uchiha experience the shame of being dominated by sheep bleats. You have obtained Seven-Star Kage-Level Fugaku Uchiha Ninja Fragments x10. From now on, as long as the Host can make Fugaku Uchiha bleat 'baa,' you will receive this ninja's full daily allotment of ten Ninja Fragments!"

This system notification undoubtedly told Zhang Miao that Fugaku Uchiha, whom he had originally thought would be the hardest to deal with, could now be successfully recruited before long as long as he put some thought into it.

To Zhang Miao, this was undoubtedly a huge surprise. The reason the system had given for awarding the fragments, in particular, made him grin from ear to ear.

"Hahahaha... Uncle Fugaku, did you experience the shame of being dominated by sheep bleats? Hahahaha..."

Fugaku Uchiha: "..."

Damn brat!

Fugaku Uchiha was truly helpless now. He had no idea why someone always caught him whenever he imitated a sheep.

Yesterday, he had bleated once and been caught by his son. Today, he had bleated twice and been caught by his wife and son respectively. Now even his youngest son had learned to make that "baa" sound.

The authority he had cultivated as the head of the family for so many years had practically crumbled away in a single day!

The more Fugaku Uchiha thought about it, the angrier he became. Then, seeing Zhang Miao sprawled on the floor and laughing wildly, he could not help but slam his hand onto the table.

"Stop laughing! Tell me the evolution conditions for the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!"

Seeing that Fugaku Uchiha was growing embarrassed and angry, Zhang Miao did not want to provoke him further. After forcing back his laughter, he spoke to Fugaku Uchiha.

"Fine, I'll tell you now. But to discuss the evolution conditions of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, we first need to start with the Uchiha Clan, because the Uchiha Clan is a clan that possesses love. No clan possesses more love than the Uchiha Clan!"

What Zhang Miao said was originally the exact words of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, but Fugaku Uchiha did not quite understand. He immediately frowned.

"Love? What does that mean?"

"It means exactly what it says!"

Seeing Fugaku Uchiha's puzzled expression, Zhang Miao immediately smiled.

"Love for friends, love for family, love for comrades. Some members of the Uchiha Clan love deeply and intensely. When they lose that love, their immense grief stimulates their Chakra to surge toward their brains, and then something happens!"

At this point, Zhang Miao's smile slowly faded, while Fugaku Uchiha's expression became extremely solemn. Then the two spoke a single word in unison.

"Sharingan!"

After saying that word, Fugaku Uchiha immediately closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he looked at Zhang Miao with an exceedingly complicated gaze.

"I never expected you to understand the Uchiha Clan to such an extent. It's truly unbelievable!"

"It's not bad!" Hearing Fugaku Uchiha's words, Zhang Miao shrugged. "I think the Uchiha Clan is even more unbelievable, especially the evolution method of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!"

"Hm?" Hearing this, Fugaku Uchiha immediately frowned. "What is it about the evolution method of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan? Is it very demanding?"

"More than demanding—it's demanding to the extreme!"

At this, Zhang Miao let out a faint sigh, then looked at Fugaku Uchiha again, meeting his gaze.

"The way to evolve the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is through the stacking of Mangekyo Sharingan Dojutsu Power. Put simply, you need two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan!"

"What do you mean, two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan?" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Fugaku Uchiha immediately frowned. "What exactly does that mean? Explain it clearly!"

"Sigh... fine, let me give you an example!"

Seeing Fugaku Uchiha's baffled expression, Zhang Miao sighed again and pointed at Fugaku Uchiha's eyes.

"Say, for example, Uncle Fugaku, you have a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, but you go blind from overusing them. At that point, you need another pair of Mangekyo Sharingan that haven't gone blind yet, and those eyes must come from a close blood relative!"

"Gasp..."

Hearing Zhang Miao's explanation, Fugaku Uchiha sucked in a sharp breath, his eyes filled with shock.

"You mean... you mean..."

Seeing Fugaku Uchiha's expression, Zhang Miao knew he understood, so he immediately nodded.

"That's right. You discard your own Mangekyo Sharingan after they've gone blind, then transplant the Mangekyo Sharingan of your parents or siblings, allowing the Dojutsu Power of the two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan to stack. That is how the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan evolves!"

With that, Zhang Miao stood up and shrugged at Fugaku Uchiha.

"All right, I've said everything that needed saying. Think it over yourself—I'm going to play with Itachi."

After saying that, Zhang Miao walked out of the room and shut the door behind him.

Only Fugaku Uchiha remained in the room. He sat there blankly, silent for a long time.
