First C-Rank Mission

To keep his Sharingan permanently active, he had also activated a Chakra Heart specifically to supply chakra to it.

Since activating the Sharingan could increase his strength, he naturally had to keep it active at all times. Hiding such a good power away and not using it would be a waste. Besides, he was hardly short on chakra.

The moment he activated his Sharingan, Yuyou began testing its abilities.

After using it for a while, he had gained a basic grasp of the Sharingan's power. The Single-Tomoe Sharingan was only the lowest level of Sharingan, but it still provided him with a substantial boost.

In particular, his talent for learning ninjutsu had increased by more than double. The Shadow Clone Technique, which had previously shown no progress at all, was now more than halfway complete.

The path of devouring bloodlines really could work.

My cheat wasn't wasted. The Slime Bloodline has incredible growth potential. If I keep devouring, maybe one day I'll possess every Kekkei Genkai in the entire ninja world. By then, Obito Uchiha, the Sage of Six Paths, and the Otsutsuki Clan will be nothing. Yuyou thought happily. Although that idea was still somewhat far removed from his current self, there was no law against daydreaming, and it felt great.

[Constant Sharingan]

That was the name Yuyou had given his Sharingan. Under normal circumstances, Uchiha clan ninja only activated their Sharingan when using it.

The Sharingan's consumption was considerable. For example, Kakashi's Sharingan was permanently active. The Sharingan had given Kakashi a great deal of help, but he truly could not shut it off himself, which meant he had to continuously bear its chakra consumption every moment.

Fortunately, Kakashi was exceptionally talented. An ordinary ninja would have long since been sucked dry by the Sharingan. Even so, it had left Kakashi severely lacking in chakra. After a single battle, he did not dare use too many high-powered ninjutsu and had to fight while carefully managing both time and chakra consumption.

Copy Ninja Kakashi might know over a thousand ninjutsu, but that title was little more than empty fame. Even if Kakashi were drained dry, he would not be able to cast more than a few ninjutsu.

But Yuyou's situation was completely different from Kakashi's. This tiny bit of Sharingan consumption was nothing to him.

The day after Yuyou awakened his Sharingan, a striking sight appeared on Konoha's streets.

Before the Uchiha clan had been massacred, it had not been easy for others to catch a glimpse of the Sharingan.

Even though the Uchiha clan members were all arrogant and exceptionally prideful, none of them would walk around the village with their Sharingan activated. Thus, to most ninja, the Sharingan remained somewhat mysterious.

But now, as long as they found Yuyou, they could witness the Sharingan's mysterious appearance. Blood-red pupils and a single slowly rotating tomoe were clearly visible in Yuyou's eyes.

Yuyou completely ignored the astonished looks people gave him.

"These people have never experienced the power of the Sharingan's vision. They won't understand what the Sharingan feels like," Yuyou said to Sasuke beside him.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke naturally had the right to comment. He also understood the powerful feeling that came with activating the Sharingan. He actually wanted to keep his Sharingan permanently active like Yuyou did, but the chakra in his body would not allow it.

"As long as you like it, Yuyou. But does doing this really not burden you?" Sasuke asked with concern.

"Not at all!" Yuyou replied as he turned toward Sasuke, his face full of brilliant smiles.

Just like that, Yuyou and Sasuke entered the mission hall in the Hokage Building, drawing countless gazes along the way.

Yamashiro Aoba had long been waiting in the mission hall. As a teacher, he was extremely responsible and had never been late even once.

Yet Kakashi, who had always been dragging his feet, had arrived unusually early for once.

Kakashi had been chatting with Yamashiro Aoba when the Sharingan hidden beneath his forehead protector suddenly shifted. He then raised his head and looked toward the entrance of the mission hall.

Yuyou's pair of Sharingan entered his sight.

This kid must have only just awakened his Sharingan, but does he really need to show it off like this? Kakashi thought.

Based on the information he had on Yuyou, he assumed that Yuyou was simply excited after awakening his Sharingan and wanted to show off, like a child.

The news that Yuyou had activated his Sharingan had long since reached the ears of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo, and the others.

The Sharingan was the Uchiha clan's strongest power, the number one Kekkei Genkai in the entire ninja world. An Uchiha ninja with the Sharingan and one without it were worlds apart. At the same rank, it was perfectly normal for an Uchiha with the Sharingan to fight multiple opponents alone.

Therefore, after Yuyou activated his Sharingan, Konoha's higher-ups had another headache on their hands. Their previous intelligence had indicated that Yuyou Uchiha possessed a thin bloodline and had an extremely low chance of awakening the Sharingan. Now, they had to reassess Yuyou's strength.

As Team 99's teacher, Yamashiro Aoba naturally noticed Yuyou's Sharingan as well. At this moment, like Kakashi, he believed Yuyou was showing off his Sharingan.

Many ninja teams had gathered in the mission hall today. After so many days, most of them had completed enough D-rank missions to gain the authority to accept C-rank missions.

The difficulty of a C-rank mission was judged to be at the genin level. There was a strong possibility of encountering combat, and the enemies that appeared would be roughly at the level of genin or below.

Although C-rank missions generally did not involve troublesome situations, since every team was led by a Special Jonin or stronger ninja, making danger unlikely. Still, C-rank missions could not be underestimated. There had been no shortage of casualties in Konoha because of C-rank missions.

It was a Konoha tradition for the Hokage himself to assign a team's first C-rank mission.

"Aoba, let's have our two teams go together," Kakashi said to Yamashiro Aoba.

"Alright."

Yamashiro Aoba agreed immediately.

Konoha was the ninja village of the Land of Fire, as well as the strongest ninja village among the surrounding nations. Therefore, whenever people had missions, they generally considered coming to Konoha to post them. Though the price was somewhat higher, its reputation was excellent and its safety was reliable.

After entering the Hokage's office, they saw Hiruzen Sarutobi sitting behind his desk with a kind expression, pipe in hand and a smile on his face.

"Team 7!"

"Team 99!"

"We have come to receive our first C-rank mission."

Kakashi and Yamashiro Aoba spoke in unison.

"Good!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, his gaze sweeping over the six newly promoted genin. However, his eyes paused briefly on Yuyou, especially on Yuyou's pair of Sharingan.

"Team 7 and Team 99, your missions are ready. The client who posted them has also arrived."

As he spoke, two people entered from outside the door.

One was an old man wearing a straw hat and commoner's clothes.

The other was a young man dressed extravagantly, clearly born into nobility.
