Then They All Deserve to Die!

"Uchiha Shisui, I originally thought you were merely an idiot. Now it seemed..."

"You were both stupid and wicked."

"You knew perfectly well what you were doing, yet you deceived yourself, covered for yourself, moved yourself to tears, and even aided evildoers. You willingly became their lackey and even became an Anbu captain..."

"You truly disappointed me."

Uchiha Shisui said coldly, "Shut up!"

"I will no longer be swayed by your glib words!"

"I am now Uchiha Shisui, a ninja of Konoha, and the Anbu Captain Commander under Lord Hokage!"

"Uchiha Qianyu, your crimes are heinous. Today, I will bring you to justice!"

At that instant.

Uchiha Shisui once again unleashed the terrifying Eye Power of his Mangekyō Sharingan!

When facing Fugaku and the others earlier, he had merely intended to intimidate them with his Mangekyō Sharingan.

But now, facing Qianyu, he truly erupted with killing intent!

Fugaku and the others were shocked and immediately prepared to step forward and stop him.

However...

Qianyu merely shook his head slightly and sneered.

"The Mangekyō Sharingan..."

Facing the terrifying oppressive aura emanating from Uchiha Shisui.

Qianyu slowly rose to his feet without the slightest hurry.

Under the dim lights of his prison cell.

Uchiha Qianyu abruptly opened his eyes as well.

Buzz!!!

The Three Tomoe in his eyes suddenly spun, transformed, evolved, and awakened!

In an instant, they had taken on the shape of a six-pointed star...

The Mangekyō Sharingan!

In that instant, Uchiha Shisui, Fugaku Uchiha, and every ninja from the Anbu and Police Force were all dumbfounded, utterly shocked!

"Th-that is..."

"The Mangekyō Sharingan?!"

"H-how was that possible..."

An equally violent Mangekyō Sharingan Eye Power erupted from Qianyu's eyes. That blood-red radiance illuminated heaven and earth, as though it possessed the power to devour everything!

After his initial shock, Fugaku was instantly overjoyed!

"The Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"That Qianyu actually awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan too!"

"Wonderful, wonderful..."

"It seemed heaven truly blessed the Uchiha clan..."

"On this day, when Shisui the traitor had betrayed his clansmen, Qianyu had also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"Sure enough, sure enough, my premonition was right..."

"Qianyu would become the true savior of the Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Shisui, however, was filled with shock and disbelief.

"Y-you... How did you awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan..."

Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan had awakened only after he witnessed his parents die on the battlefield and was overwhelmed by grief.

But Qianyu...

He had been an orphan from birth, with no relatives and no companions in the true sense.

The people closest to him were nothing more than his subordinates.

Yet neither Aoki nor Yamamoto had truly died, even after suffering severe injuries...

With Uchiha Qianyu's heart of stone, he could not possibly have suffered such intense emotional stimulation over such matters that he even awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!

At that instant.

It seemed like eternity.

It was a historic moment for the entire Uchiha clan.

Two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan stared into one another.

Yet they stood in confrontation.

Though Fugaku was delighted, he could not help but feel deeply moved.

If...

Both of these men could be used by me, if both could consider the Uchiha clan...

Why would there be any fear that great things could not be accomplished?!

Unfortunately...

Qianyu naturally did not answer Uchiha Shisui's question.

Uchiha Shisui was deeply shocked, but he did not retreat.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I do not care whether you awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan..."

"But today, you must pay the price for what you have done!"

Qianyu sneered. "Everything I did was as clear as a mirror. My conscience was clear; it was all for justice!"

"Those I killed all deserved their deaths!"

"I willingly followed procedure, imprisoned myself, and submitted to investigation. Yet these people intended to kill me in secret and eliminate me as quickly as possible. To protect myself, I rose up and killed them. What crime was that?!"

"On the contrary, you aid evildoers and remain stubbornly unrepentant. Your crimes are unforgivable!"

In an instant, the two were at daggers drawn. The violent Eye Power of their two Mangekyō Sharingan seemed to clash and collide wildly, while terrifying oppressive auras filled the entire prison.

All the Anbu and Police Force ninjas, though they were not directly within it, still sensed killing intent that pierced their hearts and scraped their bones, causing agonizing pain that reached deep into their souls!

Fugaku Uchiha could not help swallowing nervously.

These two were undoubtedly the strongest members of the Uchiha clan today...

Who would win, and who would lose?

Then They All Deserved to Die!

Just as the peak internal war of the Uchiha clan was about to erupt.

A soft cry suddenly came from outside the Anbu prison.

"Lord Qianyu..."

"W-we wanted to visit Lord Qianyu..."

The voice sounded utterly ordinary, completely out of place amid the fierce battlefield of Mangekyō Sharingan confronting one another.

For a moment, everyone was somewhat stunned.

Uchiha Shisui frowned even more.

"Who is it?"

An Anbu guard at the entrance hurriedly said, "Captain Commander, it is... it is several ordinary civilians..."

"Oh?"

Qianyu's heart stirred as well.

That voice seemed somewhat familiar...

Could it be...

"W-we are Daizi's family. We heard that Lord Qianyu had been locked in prison, so we wanted to visit him..."

"My lords, could you please make an exception and let us enter?"

The two Anbu guards said coldly, "This is a high-security prison. No visitors allowed!"

"Th-this..."

Sure enough.

They were Daizi's family...

Daizi was the young girl Sarutobi Jiro had burned alive with Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!

Qianyu had publicly executed Sarutobi Jiro, the true culprit, and had also killed Sarutobi Hiogo, who had attempted to shield and protect him. Naturally, the families of those victims were all immensely grateful to him.

The moment they heard he had been thrown into prison, they immediately came to visit him.

Uchiha Shisui understood the reason as well.

Yet unexpectedly, he said, "Let them in."

The two guards froze. "Captain Commander..."

"That is an order."

"...Yes."

"You may enter."

"Y-yes... Thank you..."

Several ordinary Konoha villagers cautiously walked inside.
