The Final Ending [Part 1]

Naruto Uzumaki stared at the longsword made of black flames in Sasuke's hand, the corner of his mouth twitching...

That thing... was Amaterasu, right?

Amaterasu could be used like that?!

At the arena proctors' station:

Sarutobi Asuma looked at Uchiha Itachi. "The flames of Amaterasu can actually change shape like this?"

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

I don't know! I can't do that!

Watching Sasuke turn the flames of Amaterasu into a longsword and hold it in the arena, Uchiha Itachi felt a surge of gratification.

This child... will definitely surpass me one day.

Uchiha Itachi believed that without a doubt.

Uchiha Clan compound:

"This... you put Six Paths Chakra inside that child?" Uchiha Mikoto looked at Fugaku Uchiha in surprise.

Fugaku shook his head. "No, I didn't. This was... that child awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan on his own."

Fugaku Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief, and his faith in Uchiha Itachi's judgment grew even stronger.

Uchiha Itachi had previously approached Fugaku Uchiha and said that the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyō Sharingan might only require intense emotional stimulation to awaken.

It did not necessarily need hatred, loathing, or something like killing one's relatives to activate the Mangekyō Sharingan.

As long as the emotions were intense enough, whether love, friendship, family affection, or even some other emotion, the Mangekyō Sharingan could be awakened on one's own.

As for what he had learned from Fugaku Uchiha—there had once been an Uchiha Clan member who, in order to obtain the Mangekyō's power, killed his entire family. He really did gain that power in the end, and wanted to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki—back then, the Jinchuriki had still been Kushina Uzumaki—to overthrow Yuya's regime.

However, he was later suppressed by Yuya.

Speaking of which, Uchiha Itachi had been extremely shocked when he first learned about it.
