Sensing Tobirama rapidly approaching, Yura waited a moment, then smiled faintly. "Didn't you already see it? That blue giant just now—the divine power, Susanoo. The Mangekyo."
Chiri stared at Yura in silence, then said, "Even without those eyes, my struggle wouldn't necessarily be in vain..."
"Kid." Yura smiled faintly. "Want to know how to awaken the Mangekyo?"
Tobirama Senju, who had just arrived nearby, heard those words and stopped in his tracks.
"You'd tell me?" Chiri asked. In any case, she wasn't about to trust an enemy's words.
"Of course." Yura glanced at Tobirama and smiled. "Under a sufficiently powerful surge of negative emotion, the Sharingan secretes a special chakra, driving these eyes to revert toward their ancestral form—the eyes of their ancestor, the Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan."
Everyone's pupils contracted at her words.
Tobirama was a genius, and Yura very much wanted to know how far he could take his experiments.
"You might not know this, but a few Shinobi Clans and Shinobi Schools dating back to the Ninjutsu Sect era a thousand years ago still retain some records," Yura said. "The Ninjutsu Sect founded by the Sage of Six Paths had two main branches, centered on his two sons and composed of their direct descendants. Their names were Senju and Uchiha."
Uchiha Chiri froze.
Tobirama Senju's gaze turned cold. What kind of joke was this? The Uchiha and Senju were relatives?
"Both clans were called clans of love. The Senju descended from the younger son. They always spoke of love and excelled at uniting those around them, while the Uchiha Clan was somewhat more radical. Their clashing ideals led to a schism a thousand years ago, with the two clans at its head. The two brothers came to blows over the right to inherit the Ninjutsu Sect."
