I'm Different from You

"Run... We can't get away..."

"Damn it, we're going to die here!"

"I'm so unwilling to die like this! Those bastards from Kumogakure!"

"This direction... it shouldn't reach the clan grounds, right..."

Although they had long known some information about Tailed Beasts, when they truly faced the attack of a Tailed Beast Bomb, Uchiha Fugaku and the others finally realized how weak they were.

Before this force filled with the aura of destruction, they could not even run away.

No matter how hard they tried, they would be reduced to dust before such absolute power!

The Tailed Beast Bomb arrived in the blink of an eye. Just as Uchiha Fugaku and the others closed their eyes and awaited death, a deep voice rang out.

"Kamui!"

Uchiha Fugaku and the others abruptly opened their eyes. Then they saw the space ahead seemingly twist like a vortex.

The Tailed Beast Bomb, which seemed capable of annihilating everything, vanished in an instant without causing even the slightest ripple.

Everything had happened in an instant, and Uchiha Fugaku and the others panted heavily.

The joy of surviving the disaster drained all strength from their bodies, and they all collapsed onto the ground.

"These two really are troublesome..."

Uchiha Yuzuru watched A turn into a streak of lightning and carry Killer B away, but there was no disappointment on his face.

Although he had held an absolute advantage just now, actually killing A and Killer B would not have been particularly easy.

After all, he did not want to end up like Sasuke Uchiha in the original story, blinding himself just days after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Their panicked escape was the best possible outcome for now.

"Yuzuru, how did you manage that attack just now?"

Uchiha Fugaku walked up to Uchiha Yuzuru and asked in disbelief.

"Transfer," Uchiha Yuzuru said calmly. "I merely used the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan to transfer that Tailed Beast Bomb."

Hiss!!!

Uchiha Fugaku and the others all gaped in shock.

They knew that Uchiha Yuzuru's Mangekyō Sharingan possessed the ability to transfer objects. Otherwise, they could not have left Konoha so smoothly.

But...

Being able to transfer even something like a Tailed Beast Bomb was simply too overpowered, wasn't it?

Uchiha Fugaku and the others felt their hearts burn with excitement, and their gazes toward Uchiha Yuzuru filled with anticipation.

"Yuzuru, can you tell us how to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"If our Uchiha Clan had a few more pairs of eyes like yours, then even dominating the entire Shinobi World probably wouldn't be difficult, would it?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru said, "In most cases, awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan requires exceptional talent and relentless training."

"Only with that, along with a mental shock that ordinary people cannot endure, does one have a chance of obtaining this power."

"Even after awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, though, most people would find it difficult to possess power like mine."

"Why?" Uchiha Fugaku asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Power cultivated step by step through effort alone will ultimately find it difficult to achieve perfection in every aspect."

Uchiha Yuzuru explained.

The reason he possessed such formidable combat strength was that, through the system's rewards, he had at least reached the level of a Kage-level expert in every aspect.

Coupled with the power awakened by the Mangekyō Sharingan, his strength had undergone a qualitative transformation.

An ordinary Uchiha, even if they awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, could not possibly become as strong as him.

Uchiha Fugaku was somewhat unconvinced. "Then what about you?"

"I'm different from you." Uchiha Yuzuru smiled. "I am a man destined to be crowned king. Nothing I accomplish is strange."

"Alright, the clan members should be worried. You should head back first."

"Aren't you coming back?"

Uchiha Yuzuru said calmly, "This isn't over yet. I'm going to Kumogakure myself!"

This time, he had defeated A and Killer B, but given the temperament of those brutes in Kumogakure, they might well send even more people.

Rather than continuously wasting Dojutsu Power on such matters, it would be better to settle this once and for all by personally meeting the Third Raikage.

"Lord Third Raikage, Lord A and Lord Killer B have returned!"

Hearing this, the Third Raikage laughed heartily. "Has the matter been handled? Let them in."

Not long after, the office door was pushed open, and the Third Raikage's smile froze on his face.

His son's face was covered in dirt, while Killer B wore a rare look of dejection.

Seeing this, the Third Raikage said in a deep voice, "A, what happened?"

A lowered his head, shame in his voice. "Father, our operation failed. Yagura and the others all died. Only Killer B and I escaped."

The Third Raikage's expression changed, and he could not help asking, "Were you ambushed?"

"No." A clenched his fists tightly. "There was someone from the Uchiha Clan named Uchiha Yuzuru. He defeated Killer B and me."

"If the Eight-Tails hadn't fired a Tailed Beast Bomb, we might not have made it back."

At the thought of that possibility, A felt lingering fear.

It would have been one thing if he died, but if the Eight-Tails had been captured by those Uchiha Clan members, he would have become a sinner of Kumogakure.

The Third Raikage was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time.

No one knew A and Killer B's strength better than he did.

Even he would find it difficult to withstand their combined assault. That was why he had been confident enough to let A and Killer B leave Kumogakure with only a few jonin.

But now...

A had actually said that someone had defeated both him and Killer B!

How was that possible?!

"A, shouldn't the strongest ninja of the Uchiha Clan be Uchiha Fugaku?"

"Who is Uchiha Yuzuru?"

Hearing the Third Raikage's question, A shook his head. "I don't know either. But according to the Eight-Tails, that Uchiha Yuzuru possesses the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Before those eyes, even the Eight-Tails had no desire to fight at all."

"The Mangekyō Sharingan?" The Third Raikage's gaze sharpened.

As the Raikage, although he had not lived through the era when Uchiha Madara ruled, he had read many records about the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Back then, Uchiha Madara had relied on those eyes to stir up bloodshed throughout the Shinobi World.

Other than Hashirama Senju's Wood Release, no one could contend with him.

And now, had such eyes appeared once more?

At that thought, the Third Raikage felt a faint surge of hot blood.

"Father, I've disappointed you."

Seeing the usually proud A so badly shaken, the Third Raikage suddenly punched him in the face, sending him flying heavily.

"Father?"

"Hmph!" The Third Raikage snorted coldly and roared, "Has just a little setback turned you into this?"

"What do you think the Mangekyō Sharingan is? It is an existence that even makes me unable to resist wanting to fight it!"

"Losing to a powerful opponent with the Mangekyō Sharingan isn't frightening. Losing the courage to fight them again is what's truly pathetic."

"A, treat this defeat as motivation to keep becoming stronger. Don't make me look down on you."

A clenched his fists and stood up, shouting, "Father, I will! One day, I'll defeat Uchiha Yuzuru and become the strongest ninja in the world!"

"Good! You and Killer B go rest first. Leave the rest to me."

After A and Killer B left, the Third Raikage stared out the window with blazing eyes.

The Uchiha Clan truly deserved to be called the strongest ninja clan. Kumogakure had to obtain such a Kekkei Genkai.

At any cost!
