Preparations Before Awakening

Minagawa Uchiha had been reincarnated in his mother's womb, but for the first ten years, he had not awakened the memories of his past life. Only occasional fragments surfaced, too scattered to piece together. It was not until after his tenth birthday that his past-life memories fully awakened, allowing him to understand his current situation.

Thinking back to half a year ago, Minagawa Uchiha could not help but sigh.

With Shisui dead and the Konoha High Command closely monitoring the Uchiha Clan Compound, Minagawa Uchiha had no way to escape. Anxiety consumed every moment of his life. Anyone who knew they were facing certain death would feel on the verge of collapse.

It was precisely because of that near-breakdown, coupled with the immense Mental Strength brought by his past-life soul memories, that Minagawa Uchiha's Sharingan directly evolved from One Tomoe to Three Tomoe.

After all, Minagawa Uchiha had transmigrated and been reborn. Although he had not awakened his past-life memories during those first ten years, his complete soul naturally gave him Mental Strength far beyond ordinary people. He had awakened his Sharingan early and was considered a little genius of the Uchiha clan.

He had to admit that the Uchiha were a clan favored by heaven. As long as they awakened the Sharingan, this Kekkei Genkai, their strength would enter a period of rapid growth.

Minagawa Uchiha was no exception. After awakening the Three Tomoe, he gained the potential to quickly reach Jonin level. The Three Tomoe Sharingan could not only greatly enhance Taijutsu and genjutsu, but also let him rapidly master all kinds of ninjutsu through the Sharingan's copying ability.

With boosts in ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and genjutsu, along with the increase in Chakra brought about by the explosive growth in Mental Strength after awakening the Three Tomoe, nearly every Uchiha who awakened the Sharingan earned the title of genius.

The powerful boost from the Sharingan also cleared Minagawa Uchiha's mind, giving him the courage to resist his future fate!

Minagawa Uchiha was overjoyed, though he also felt a trace of regret.

Why didn't it evolve into the Mangekyō Sharingan?

But after thinking about it, he let it go. Minagawa Uchiha knew how difficult it was to directly awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. In the Original Work, those who awakened the Mangekyō had all suffered the immense mental shock of seeing someone important die before their eyes. Although his emotions had fluctuated intensely just now, they had not reached that extent.

According to information from the Original Work, under extreme emotions, the brain would synthesize a special kind of Chakra that would cause the Sharingan to evolve.

Moreover, this evolution seemed to be related to the individual's overall strength. Uchiha Sasuke had only awakened One Tomoe after his entire clan had been wiped out, and he could only use that One Tomoe freely after the Land of Waves mission following graduation. Obito Uchiha had also awakened his Sharingan on the battlefield after graduation.

Their talent was extremely high, yet they still needed their bodies to mature before Awakening Eyes. Therefore, Minagawa Uchiha guessed that for the Sharingan to reach the next stage, one's overall physical qualities needed to reach a certain level.

In the Ninja World, there are only a few cultivation paths capable of shouldering the burden in the end: Taijutsu, sage arts, Space-Time Ninjutsu, and Fuinjutsu. Beyond those, there are only special Mangekyō Sharingan like Obito Uchiha's and the Rinnegan. By the later stages of the Fourth Great Ninja War in the Original Work, even Wood Style had become nothing more than an ordinary defensive technique Uchiha Madara used to reminisce about Hashirama Senju.

So in the end, I still have to rely on the Sharingan? The Night of the Uchiha Clan Downfall is right around the corner. Taijutsu requires years of training, sage arts have no accessible path and are dangerous, and the Three Great Sage Regions may not be trustworthy. As for intricate and profound things like Space-Time Ninjutsu and Fuinjutsu, there's No Way I can learn them on my own without someone to teach me.

Therefore, the urgent priority is to master the improvements brought by the Three Tomoe, then prepare for the Mangekyō's evolution. Only by evolving the Mangekyō Sharingan will I have the key to breaking this deadlock.

Minagawa Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly. Feeling the Chakra surging through his body, his gaze sharpened as well. In the end, given the Uchiha's current situation, he could rely on no one and did not dare rely on anyone. He could only rely on himself. Since no cheat had appeared after all these years, the Mangekyō Sharingan had become his only choice.

As long as he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, even if he could not confront Uchiha Itachi and Obito Uchiha head-on, he could at least escape in advance as long as they did not deliberately target him.

His thoughts returned to the present as Minagawa Uchiha arrived home.

After closing the doors and windows, he carefully took a Sealing Scroll from his robes. Sensing the Chakra within, filled with a great deal of negative emotion, Minagawa Uchiha could not help but reveal a satisfied smile. This was the result of nearly half a year of hard work—the key to beginning a new life.

Ever since awakening the Three Tomoe Sharingan half a year ago, Minagawa Uchiha had devised a plan to collect his own negative emotions. The tool he used for this collection was naturally the Sealing Scroll in his hands.

Minagawa Uchiha had always been a little genius within the clan. Having awakened his Sharingan early, he possessed a certain degree of authority in the clan. Obtaining a Sealing Scroll capable of sealing Chakra was simple enough. After all, every Fuinjutsu had, more or less, the ability to seal Chakra.

He had to admit that Chakra was incredibly versatile. Developing a Fuinjutsu that could preserve negative emotions posed no difficulty at all. Chakra was originally synthesized from spiritual energy and physical energy. Even Shadow Clones capable of carrying consciousness existed, so carrying some negative spiritual energy was easy.

This Chakra filled with negative emotions was the source of Minagawa Uchiha's confidence in awakening his own Mangekyō Sharingan. To prevent any unnecessary mistakes, he had only collected negative emotions produced by himself.

At the same time, to obtain enough negative emotions that belonged to him, Minagawa Uchiha wore clothes bearing the Uchiha clan crest every day and wandered around Konoha, almost masochistically experiencing the villagers' disgust toward the Uchiha in order to stir up his own negative emotions.

After half a year of collection, the negative emotions sealed within the scroll could already be sensed from outside!

Meanwhile, after half a year of mastery and training, Minagawa Uchiha's physical qualities had fully absorbed the improvements brought by the Three Tomoe.

Now, everything was ready. All that remained was to use the negative emotions within the scroll to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Then I'll rest and adjust myself to peak condition. Tonight, I'll directly attempt to awaken my Mangekyō. Otherwise, if I keep waking up anxiously every night, fearing that that great filial son Uchiha Itachi will suddenly appear before me, I'll suffer a mental breakdown sooner or later.

After hastily eating something and setting up a soundproof barrier, Minagawa Uchiha quietly rested and recuperated.
