Massive Sharingan Evolution, Shisui's Wavering

Sarutobi Clan Land.

"Lord Hokage." Uchiha Itachi knelt on one knee.

"How is the situation?" Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe, his worried expression as ethereal and ungraspable as the smoke he exhaled, causing annoyance.

The Hokage Building was also in the village center and had been affected by Jinghuo Uchiha. Although it hadn't collapsed, the cracks all over the building made it seem like it would have been better if it had.

Workers were now working overtime to demolish and rebuild it.

Therefore, Uchiha Itachi had to come to the Sarutobi Clan Land to report the situation.

"Jinghuo Uchiha is unconscious. Fugaku Uchiha only asked about Jinghuo Uchiha out of concern and didn't pay much further attention."

"Mm."

When Jinghuo Uchiha was clamoring to lead the Uchiha Clan in a coup and return to the Uchiha Clan Land, the Anbu tailing him had reported more than once: "Jinghuo Uchiha's eyes are becoming increasingly cloudy."

"It seems to be a price paid with his eyes." Such an extraordinary ability having a price made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel it was normal.

It also put him at ease.

At least, he wouldn't have to see another Susanoo rampaging in the village center.

Moreover, Shisui Uchiha's eyes were also like this. Did this mean Shisui Uchiha could do this as well?

This made him smile with even greater peace of mind.

However, he still couldn't forget the scene when he asked Shisui Uchiha to use Kotoamatsukami to control Jinghuo Uchiha and was refused.

"Shisui's Will of Fire..." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought, "I need to find an opportunity to test Shisui Uchiha."

At this moment, Uchiha Itachi suddenly looked up towards the Uchiha Clan Land, his expression filled with disbelief.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was puzzled.

But in the next second, he also looked towards the Uchiha Clan Land with shock.

Although he wasn't an Uchiha, he could still feel the sudden surge of Chakra fluctuations from the Uchiha Clan Land.

"What's going on?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked immediately.

Was the coup about to begin? Or was it too late?

Uchiha Itachi could see Sarutobi Hiruzen's tension and quickly replied, "These are fluctuations caused by the evolution of the Sharingan."

"Sharingan evolution?! Did something happen to the Uchiha?"

Wasn't it said that the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan could only be awakened and continuously evolved through intense emotional stimulation?

"Did Fugaku Uchiha die?" After thinking for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen could only come up with this guess.

This was the only way to explain the large-scale pupil power fluctuations in the Uchiha Clan Land.

Uchiha Itachi shook his head.

He didn't know either.

But in his mind, the image of Shisui Uchiha holding Jinghuo Uchiha couldn't help but appear.

"Is it related to Shisui? Or is it related to Jinghuo Uchiha?"

[Quest Name: You're an Uchiha Clan?]

[Quest Content: Kill Uchiha Itachi!]

[Quest Reward: Eternal Mangekyo]

Jinghuo Uchiha, who had fallen unconscious, was woken up by the system late at night.

Having obtained the system five years ago, he was already accustomed to it.

He wanted to look out the window, but it was a hazy darkness.

Even though his eyes were blind, he could still sense light.

"It should be late at night now, right?" After this thought, Jinghuo Uchiha felt speechless towards Uchiha Itachi, who was still awake.

"So, Uchiha Itachi is currently acting as a double agent for Hiruzen Sarutobi, reporting my situation?"

Jinghuo Uchiha muttered and turned over to continue sleeping.

He guessed that in Uchiha Itachi's heart, there was a very clear ranking.

Shisui Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha > The Village > Uchiha Clan > Family > Clan members...

Jinghuo Uchiha didn't have many thoughts. After all, his brother Shisui Uchiha was still alive.

If Shisui Uchiha couldn't bring Uchiha Itachi back, then he would have to accept the Eternal Mangekyo reward.

A night passed.

Despite such a major event happening, life went on as usual.

Wake up, brush teeth, wash face, eat...

Jinghuo Uchiha was the same.

However, he didn't plan to go to the back mountain for training today.

He still couldn't control his chakra well, having already crashed into a wall three times at home.

Most importantly, that shameless guy Danzo might send people to capture him.

He didn't plan to go out until he learned the Fire Style Chakra Mode.

Uchiha Shisui, upon learning of Jinghuo Uchiha's thoughts, strongly agreed.

He felt at ease with him at home.

Afterward, he planned to go talk to Fugaku Uchiha.

At this moment, he walked to the door with a confused expression, opened it, and, as expected, saw a group of clan members.

"What's going on, everyone?" Uchiha Shisui asked, somewhat puzzled.

"That..." The clan members looked uneasy and very worried.

After hesitating several times, they finally asked the question they wanted to ask.

"Is Shizuka okay?"

Their expressions and tone gave Uchiha Shisui a very familiar feeling—guilt.

Recalling the explosive, large-scale Sharingan evolution from last night, he was so shocked by the truth that his mouth fell slightly open, and he was stunned in disbelief.

Seeing Uchiha Shisui freeze, the clan members immediately panicked.

Could something serious have happened to Jinghuo Uchiha?

Fortunately, Uchiha Shisui only froze for a second or two before quickly recovering. He immediately said, "Shizuka is in good condition, please don't worry."

Hearing this, everyone relaxed.

"If you have any problems, come to us."

"Right, even if we can't help much, we can still think of a way."

"Mhm, definitely don't try to carry it all by yourself."

The clan members said as they bid farewell, entrusting him with their words.

After they had walked far away, Uchiha Shisui intended to go back inside, but the clan members returned, looking embarrassed.

"Shisui, are you alright?"

"We're sorry, we didn't notice you."

"We heard your eyes were gouged out? Who did it?"

"How dare they dig out our Uchiha's eyes!"

"We must teach them a lesson!"

The clan members' angry demeanor moved Uchiha Shisui.

Originally, after Danzo gouged out his eyes, he had felt a slight, insignificant waver in his loyalty to the village.

After Jinghuo Uchiha activated the Susanoo in the village center, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't blame him, which reassured him greatly, and he was grateful for Hiruzen Sarutobi's understanding.

However, when Hiruzen Sarutobi asked him to use Kotoamatsukami to control Jinghuo Uchiha, he felt another slight, insignificant wavering.

With the tacit approval of the Jonin and Hiruzen Sarutobi, he got his eyes back and gouged out Shimura Danzo's Sharingan. With such a handling of the situation, he felt a little gratitude towards the village again.

But when he returned carrying Jinghuo Uchiha and sensed the Anbu tracking them, waves of killing intent directed at Jinghuo Uchiha made him feel a surge of anger.

However, he quickly calmed down.

After all, Jinghuo Uchiha had just caused a commotion in the village center, so Hiruzen Sarutobi's arrangement was normal.

Still, he couldn't help but recall Hiruzen Sarutobi's tacit approval of him gouging out Danzo's eyes.

Wasn't the current situation of the Uchiha Clan also due to Hiruzen Sarutobi's tacit approval?

The isolation during the Nine-Tails' attack, the rumors surrounding the Nine-Tails incident, being on the front lines of the war, the heavy casualties of clan members, the pressure from the Armistice Agreement...

Which of these events wasn't tacitly approved by him, Hiruzen Sarutobi?
