After 180 hours of Immersion, Family Happiness finally reached its conclusion...
Hong Yan had taken the blame for his older brother since childhood and been manipulated by his unbelievably brainless family. At thirty, he discovered that his childhood sweetheart and wife had only ever seen him as a stand-in for his brother—and that she and his brother had never truly severed ties.
To save his wife, who had gotten into a car accident while cheating on him, Hong Yan gave up one of his kidneys...
Before long, his older brother was diagnosed with kidney disease. Under the family's collective moral pressure—including that of his wife, who didn't know where the kidney had come from—Hong Yan gave up his other kidney. He died on the operating table.
After his older brother recovered, he rekindled his romance with Hong Yan's newly widowed childhood sweetheart. The family held another wedding banquet, and during the vows, everyone was moved to tears as they remembered Hong Yan. In the final group photo, a shadow could just barely be seen bringing his older brother and sister-in-law's hands together...
What a heartwarming family, all happily making dumplings together. Truly a cause for celebration!
Akaseki: ...
In the final part, Akaseki had watched in his "soul" form. He'd thought that the scene where "the doctor saw the wound on his waist and refused to operate, but agreed after the protagonist overcame the anesthetic and pleaded" was already the peak of Akaseki's experience. Who could have guessed there'd be a hand-holding scene between two souls afterward?
Akaseki felt that even just watching this ordinary plot was enough to count as a mental attack!
But...
With his "hypothalamus" under someone else's control, Akaseki had to be dragged along by the protagonist's emotions, forced to "feast" on the story.
The previous 179 hours had already hit Akaseki hard, but that final hour had still shown him that there was always a higher mountain!
What...
the hell was this?
The moment the series ended, Akaseki's hypothalamus was freed, and his true emotions finally burst forth!
But in the very next instant...
A cool sensation spread through Akaseki's mind. Rational thought and emotional feeling seemed to separate completely in an instant.
A special power surged through his brain, flowing toward Akaseki's left eye and transforming into "Dojutsu Power"...
A moment later, a faint ache stirred in Akaseki's left eye, but amid the intense emotional contrast and the flood of Dojutsu Power, it was barely noticeable.
The special chakra fluctuations from Akaseki's residence startled some of the clan members, especially those with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!
Clan Leader Jiancheng and Clan Elder Lanyu sensed it at once and hurried to Akaseki's residence...
"All right, all right, that's enough watching... You can all go."
"Everyone, Lanyu and I will go inside."
Jiancheng and Lanyu stopped the other clan members from hovering nearby.
Many clan members could recognize the chakra fluctuations that accompanied a Sharingan's transformation.
But...
If Akaseki had just lost a loved one or a friend, this wouldn't have been surprising.
Even if the death hadn't been recent, they could have assumed he'd been reminded of something sad while setting up a mourning tent.
But right now, Akaseki was alone at home. No one had provoked him. How had his Sharingan suddenly transformed?
They were all members of the Uchiha Clan. How could Akaseki be sitting at home by himself and still have such an emotional outburst?
Could it be...
that he was the legendary Uchiha Sacred Body, born with a sentimental nature?
Jiancheng and Lanyu had an inkling of what had happened. They knew Akaseki must have been stimulated again by that unknown force, so rather than let anyone else inside, they went in themselves to check on him.
Meanwhile, back with Akaseki...

After the series ended, Akaseki didn't have time to check on his left eye. Instead, he heard a different prompt than before.
This GG reward seemed different from the others?
The next moment, the newly arrived ninja tool set was suddenly marked with a price of 150 in Akaseki's vision.
Akaseki didn't understand exactly what was going on, but he could tell that, like the Pawnshop, it intended to buy his things outright. It was just...
A home visit?
Who could come to his home?
Could it be... Space-Time Ninjutsu?
Akaseki still didn't understand, and he was a little worried, too. What if an incredibly powerful ninja popped out... No, what if a Demon God appeared?
Just then, Akaseki heard Clan Leader Jiancheng and Clan Elder Lanyu's voices...
That gave Akaseki some confidence!
Who was coming to his home?
The clan leader was here, after all...
Akaseki saw that the selection timer was counting down, so he chose the ninja tool set he'd just received. He didn't seem to have anything else worth recycling.
The Space-Time ninja or Demon God Akaseki had worried about never appeared. Instead, quite simply... the ninja tool set vanished!
Akaseki: ???
[Your balance has been credited to your account. Welcome to browse our products...]
Only after hearing that the money had been credited did Akaseki finally relax.
At the same time, Akaseki had a rough idea of what "150" meant. After all, various "GGs" had displayed prices before.
Some of the items Akaseki had seen in the GGs had cost less than 150!
But Akaseki didn't have time to shop right now...
"Akaseki, are you awake? We're coming in." Clan Leader Jiancheng's voice came with a knock at the door.
Akaseki had regained his senses by then, so he quickly got up and opened the door.
He saw the clan leader and the Clan Elder looking at him with delighted expressions, seemingly... at his left eye!
"Clan Leader, Clan Elder Lanyu, what are you..." Akaseki felt a little uncomfortable under their gaze.
"Hahaha... Excellent! Akaseki, you really haven't let me down," Clan Leader Jiancheng said with a laugh.
"Huh?" Akaseki stared at him, confused.
Lanyu kept his face stern, but there was still a hint of happiness in his expression. He reminded Akaseki, "Take a look in the mirror."
At his words, Akaseki remembered what had just happened and realized what it meant. Forgetting his manners, he hurried back inside to look in the mirror.
Sure enough...
In the mirror, Akaseki's left eye now had two tomoe!
His right eye hadn't changed, so he could only be said to have a Quasi-Two-Tomoe Sharingan, but that was still more than enough to be exciting...
Usually, because of the way the Sharingan awakened and evolved, this sort of "excitement" came amid intense emotions brought on by great upheaval. The person involved often didn't feel excited at all.
If an Uchiha thought, "That was nothing, and it still awakened my Sharingan? What a bargain," then no matter how many times it happened, it wouldn't be enough to awaken their Sharingan!
No one should ever say, "First, I mourn your loss; second, congratulations."
But Jiancheng and Lanyu didn't have that concern with Akaseki. They had both guessed that this must have been the result of "Immersion," not something that had really happened...
But when Akaseki thought about the plot he'd just watched during "Immersion," he suddenly felt that he deserved this!
At the same time, Akaseki had a theory: the smooth transformation was probably half due to the false emotions he'd felt during Immersion, and half due to his real emotions bursting forth once the Immersion had ended. The two clashed, intensifying the effect...
