Chapter 114

When he arrived, the current scene unfolded.

The two slowly walked towards the deep pit.

Looking at the pool of blood inside, Aburame Shikuroo was slightly taken aback.

"What kind of technique is this... that can turn a person into a lump of blood..." Aburame Shikuroo had never heard of such a thing before.

"Heh heh, it seems to be a backlash from the Dōjutsu."

Orochimaru briefly explained what he had just witnessed.

Aburame Shikuroo also heard about the Mangekyō Sharingan from two high-ranking officials Utatane Koharu and Shimura Danzō.

In addition, Orochimaru described the battle between Akito and Ryūka Uchiha.

Aburame Shikuroo nodded. "I understand."

He showed no fear whatsoever.

Because Aburame Shikuroo knows.

Its own nano-sized venomous insects are the most effective counter to Taijutsu ninjas.

Even a tiny bit gets on it.

Nanoscale venomous insects can then multiply inside an opponent's body.

No one can save you except yourself.

At that point, it will be a slow, spreading death.

The opponent could only watch helplessly as the nano-sized venomous insects multiplied throughout their body, causing them to die.

And this kind of attack.

Even through clothing, or even armor in the conventional sense, it is impossible to prevent the infiltration of poisonous insects.

Touching it will result in death.

That's Aburame Shikuroo's biggest trump card.

"I will go back to report, and I may stay here for a while..."

"I'll stay and observe for a while longer."

Orochimaru nodded slightly.

Then, Aburame Shikuroo took out a scroll and began carefully gathering the remains.

Now that we've found the remnants of Ryūka Uchiha, we must bring him back to prove his death and allow him to return to his roots...

During this process, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with reluctance and fervor.

But after thinking it over, he ultimately decided not to steal it.

After all, Aburame Shikuroo, as a veteran powerhouse, is not someone who can be killed so easily.

Furthermore, the Uchiha Clan currently has a large number of ninjas, providing a sufficient sample for research.

52. Two Mangekyō

At the same time.

The Uchiha Clan.

After the meeting concluded, everyone emerged from the basement of the Naka Shrine.

We walked along the long mountain path, passing through a huge red torii gate.

The pitch-black, silent night was stirred by the announcement of information about the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Every member of the tribe wore a fervent smile.

He hoped that he could awaken the Mangekyō like Ryūka Uchiha and Captain Fugaku.

At that time...

For the Uchiha Clan to obtain the Hokage Position would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

"Uncle Fugaku ...no, Captain Fugaku."

The rear of the group.

Shisui Uchiha called out to Fugaku Uchiha.

"Um?"

Fugaku Uchiha stopped and looked at his junior.

"Shisui, is something the matter?"

"Actually..."

Shisui Uchiha glanced at the departing clansmen.

They found that everyone was engrossed in the heated discussion, and no one was paying attention to their side.

After a moment of contemplation, Shisui Uchiha spoke.

"I... have also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Fugaku Uchiha: "!"

First came astonishment.

Then, looking into Shisui Uchiha's eyes, he realized that he didn't seem to be lying.

So, Fugaku Uchiha took a deep breath. "You... come back with me."

"Yes."

Shisui Uchiha immediately followed.

Once back at the residence.

Mikoto Uchiha opened the door first.

Let the husband and Shisui come in.

As Jonin of the Uchiha Clan and the owner of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Mikoto Uchiha also participated in the meeting.

She was somewhat curious when she saw Shisui arrive.

However, as a supportive wife, she did not interrupt rashly.

The three then went to the living room.

Mikoto Uchiha went to the kitchen to make tea.

"Captain Fugaku, please look..."

As his eye power coalesced, Shisui Uchiha slowly awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

It eventually settled into the shape of a four-cornered Shuriken.

Upon witnessing this scene...

Fugaku Uchiha remained silent.

"As expected... like father, like son. Shisui, you are just as outstanding as your father."

He opened his eyes when he was a teenager.

A true genius.

Fugaku Uchiha was also somewhat excited.

Although the clan was feared by the higher-ups, they had no choice but to reveal the information about the Mangekyō Sharingan to their clansmen.

But isn't this also an opportunity?

His own eyes, Shisui, Shisui's father, Ryūka.

Thus, there are three pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, or in other words, three Kage Level masters.

Of course, Shisui Uchiha was only Genin before.

The improvement in strength will not reach the target in the short term.

But as long as you keep honing your skills, you'll soon be able to cross the threshold of the "Mangekyō"Kage Level.

Suppressing his excitement, Fugaku Uchiha asked with a serious expression, "How... did you awaken your Sharingan?"

The Mangekyō Sharingan is powerful.

However, there was another drawback, which Fugaku Uchiha did not mention at the regular meeting.

That's the condition for opening the Mangekyō's eyes.

Fugaku Uchiha: "Let me tell you about mine first. During the great battle, my friend died protecting me, and that's why I awakened these eyes."

In the living room.

The two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan flashing with an eerie red light.

"Is that so...?"

Shisui Uchiha thought for a moment.

"During the Chunin Ninja Exams..."

His face darkened as he recalled that demonic figure from back then.

"I could have saved my friend, but I didn't. It was me... who caused Yūji's death..."

Shisui Uchiha, his hands pressed against his knees, appearing ready to accept Fugaku Uchiha's reprimand.

"..."

A brief silence.

"This is not your fault. That Amakawa Akito was very strong; you were not capable of dealing with him at the time."

After all, he indiscriminately slaughtered various Chunin and even killed Hozuki Mangetsu, a member of the Hozuki Clan.

Even... Shisui's mother died at his hands.

Fugaku Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha.

Now...

The Akito have already headed towards the chaotic killing spree...

After sharing some information about the Akito, Fugaku Uchiha reassured Shisui Uchiha.

Shisui Uchiha finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much better.

"Therefore, you must understand that the conditions for opening your eyes are very cruel. That's why I haven't told everyone. Shisui, you must keep this secret."

Fugaku Uchiha gave his instructions.

Because once you know that strong stimulation is the way to open your eyes.

There's no telling if some members of the clan might go to extremes and kill their relatives and friends.

"Yes."

Shisui Uchiha nodded vigorously.

Fugaku Uchiha: "Furthermore, now that you possess these eyes, you should know what the future holds for my clan."

The Uchiha Clan has always been suppressed by the Konoha High Command.

This is true.

Shisui Uchiha was influenced by the Will of Fire from a young age, which may have made his thinking biased towards the village.

However, given this reality...

He must grow up quickly.

"Excellent people are envied, while those who are not capable hold power..."

Fugaku Uchiha believed that Shisui Uchiha was saying.
