Susanoo Danzo

Genjutsu world, Kumogakure.

Mako lay quietly in Yutaro's arms, her eye sockets hollow, the flesh around them congealed and necrotic, her features withered.

Dark red bloodstains remained on her cheeks, her empty gaze directed at Shota as if silently pouring out some unspoken grievance.

"Mom..."

Shota trembled all over, large beads of tears sliding down like a broken string of pearls.

"It should have been me who stayed that night! I clearly said I would come back to eat the rice balls you made!"

"Why wasn't it me who stayed!"

"Why...!?"

He collapsed to his knees, his tears mixing with the dirt to leave mottled streaks across his face.

The sky of the genjutsu world was thick with dark clouds, rolling and churning as a torrential downpour immediately began to pour down.

Real world, operating room.

Shota's body arched violently, his chakra surging once again, manifesting in a normal blue glow.

"This is..."

"Chakra runaway?!"

"Shota is about to break free from the genjutsu!"

The Uchiha in the observation room were the first to notice the anomaly, clicking their tongues in wonder as they watched the scene.

"No!"

Yutaro's pupils constricted sharply, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan activating in an instant.

Beneath Shota's tightly closed eyelids, his chakra radiated an eerie scarlet hue, the intense light almost piercing through the skin.

As that chakra grew increasingly potent, the red glow began to seep from Shota's eyelids, blindingly crimson.

The many Uchiha finally realized something was wrong, activating their own Sharingan one after another to confirm, only to discover with shock—

"It's a Double-Tomoe Sharingan!"

The double tomoe rotated slowly and symmetrically within Shota's pupils, the scarlet chakra they generated gradually calming down and feeding back into his entire body.

"Double-Tomoe?!"

"How is this possible!"

"Going straight from having no Kekkei Genkai to a Double-Tomoe!"

The observation room erupted in an uproar.

Some gasped, others stepped forward, mimicking Yutaro as they pressed against the observation glass, staring fixedly at Shota in the operating room.

The Great Elder Shio had been running his Sharingan at full capacity, attempting to see through every detail of the genjutsu Kazuhiko was casting in order to replicate it.

But his fantasy had been thoroughly shattered.

"A genjutsu sustained entirely by the Sharingan, this duration..."

"This level of ocular power..."

An ordinary Uchiha could never replicate this!

Inside the operating room, Kazuhiko stood before Shota with a grave expression.

With the activation of the Double-Tomoe Sharingan, Shota's chakra volume had experienced an explosive increase, now rivaling that of a Jonin.

Maintaining the genjutsu on him had pushed the difficulty level almost beyond Kazuhiko's limits.

Kazuhiko's current strength, in terms of chakra volume, barely qualified as an average Jonin, reaching the chakra level of [1 Kakashi].

Through various amplifications, his genjutsu could only barely be maintained.

At this moment, the chakra around his body poured out like a floodgate opening, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Kazuhiko frowned, pulled a military ration pill from his robes, and swallowed it.

His chakra slowly recovered, but compared to his output, it was far from enough.

In this situation, the genjutsu would end due to chakra exhaustion before long.

Moreover, keeping the Double-Tomoe Sharingan active required chakra to sustain it.

No matter how deep one's ocular power, it was useless without chakra to support it.

"I must suppress Shota's chakra levels..."

On the metal reclining chair, three syringes appeared, slowly pushing their contents into Shota's veins.

These were the sedatives and special drugs prepared in advance.

Their effect was to suppress chakra, slow down the flow through the meridians, and reduce the total volume and output of chakra.

Of course, the effects were only temporary.

If he could help it, Kazuhiko did not want to use these medical agents.

For an Uchiha to awaken the Sharingan, a sufficient amount of chakra was especially important.

Sasuke had experienced the night of the massacre, witnessing the tragic deaths of all his clansmen, which triggered his rage and awakened the Single-Tomoe Sharingan.

If he hadn't been a genin at the time, possessing only the chakra levels of a genin, he surely would have awakened more than just a single tomoe.

After all, his brother Itachi, whom he cared for most, had also subjected him to immense emotional trauma.

Had he possessed the corresponding chakra levels in that situation to provide enough support for the Sharingan and convert the special chakra, things would have been different.

Sasuke might not have awakened the Mangekyou on the spot, but the Double-Tomoe or Three-Tomoe should have been effortless.

"Shota's chakra should be enough now..."

"If it's any lower... there's no point in continuing."

Kazuhiko murmured softly, continuing to manipulate the Sharingan genjutsu.

Within the world of the genjutsu, Shota's emotions remained in constant flux.

Upon seeing his mother's tragic state, the first thing Shota thought of was revenge!

He wanted to pay tooth for tooth and blood for blood, wanting Konoha to feel the same pain.

The opportunity arrived quickly.

Konoha had been severely weakened by the Uchiha defection incident.

Seeing the chance, Kumogakure launched a war, joining forces with Sunagakure and Kirigakure to initiate—

The Konoha Crush Plan.

The Uchiha were requested as the vanguard.

Faced with the Uchiha's vengeance, the flames of war soon descended upon Konoha.

"Why?" the Third Hokage's voice trembled:

"Why would you betray Konoha!"

Shota did not answer; he simply drew his katana and severed the head of Sarutobi Asuma.

"Asuma—! I will kill you with my own hands!"

"Hiruzen, your opponent is me!"

The Raikage blocked the Third Hokage.

Shota licked the blood from his blade, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief.

Extreme emotions accumulated and gestated within his mind.

He began to execute his targets for revenge one by one.

Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and finally...

Shimura Danzō!

"You naturally evil Uchiha brat, I shall bury you with my own hands right now!"

"A filthy insect like you isn't even worthy!"

Danzō unwound the bandages wrapped around his body, revealing his right eye, right arm, and over a dozen Three-Tomoe Sharingan in a shocking display.

"You Uchiha don't understand the true usage of the Sharingan at all."

"Today, I will show you exactly what kind of power is contained within Mako's eyes—"

"Susanoo!"

Danzō activated the Susanoo mode, facing a group of jonin all by himself.

But there were too many enemies.

Forces from Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure arrived from afar, wave after wave, and even Jinchuriki appeared in person to besiege Danzō.

"Danzō, today is the day you die!"

Shota looked at his mother's Sharingan, his eyes splitting with rage.

"The day I die?" Danzō had reached his limit and began to fight with his life on the line.

"You Uchiha are the true cancer of Konoha. If Hiruzen had listened to me and wiped out the Uchiha sooner, he wouldn't have ended up in this state today."

The Four Symbols Seal on Danzō's body activated, indiscriminately engulfing everyone nearby.

"Go to hell with me!"

"Shota!"

Yuta shoved his son away with a palm strike, sending him flying backward and out of the seal's range.

"Dad! Dad!"

Yuta looked at his son, his eyes filled with relief.

"You have already done very well... my son..."

"Live on... protect the Uchiha..."

The seal descended, and everything within a radius of several hundred meters around Danzo vanished, pulled into his corpse by the sealing technique.

"Dad--!"

Shota's roar shook the heavens and earth, the intense emotional trauma driving him to the brink of madness.

In reality, inside the operating room.

Shota's body began to tremble violently, his suppressed chakra beginning to surge in reverse, quickly skyrocketing to an unprecedented level.

This familiar scene caused the group of Uchiha in the observation room to cry out in advance.

"It's this situation again..."

"Is he about to awaken the Three Tomoe?!"

"Impossible!"

"..."
