Uchiha Mirror's Sharingan

That night.

Yusuke moved like a shadow merging with the darkness, darting rapidly between the rooftops.

He avoided all main roads and patrol routes, heading toward the Uchiha Clan compound with a clear objective.

Near the perimeter of the Uchiha Clan compound, the lights of the Security Department remained bright.

Two members of the Uchiha Clan were standing guard, bored out of their minds; in their minds, no one would have the audacity to trespass on the Uchiha Clan at night.

Yusuke lurked in a large tree in the distance, his presence completely suppressed.

He observed the gaps in the patrol rotations, waiting patiently.

When two patrol squads crossed paths and moved a distance away, creating a blind spot in their field of vision, he acted.

"Now."

He formed hand seals and whispered, "Genjutsu: Cicada Time-Gap!"

A sound wave laced with chakra fluctuations swept over the two guards at the end of the patrol.

Their eyes glazed over for a fleeting moment, as if time had experienced a brief blank space.

In that gap of less than a second, Yusuke moved.

He concentrated chakra beneath his feet and shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, his speed so great that he left a trail of afterimages.

He quickly passed through the patrol squad and reached a spot near the Security Department building.

He threw an inconspicuous Sealing Scroll with precision into a half-open window of the Security Department.

Thump. A soft sound.

The noise of the scroll hitting the floor startled the patrol squad.

"Who's there?!"

"Something's moving!"

The two squads quickly fanned out, checking the perimeter of the Security Department.

They scanned their surroundings vigilantly while simultaneously sounding the alarm.

The piercing siren tore through the night sky, and the Uchiha Clan compound was instantly illuminated as a large number of figures surged out from all directions, converging on the Security Department.

"Where is the intruder?"

"Where are they?"

Amidst the noisy clamor, Yusuke had already fled far away using the Flying Thunder God.

His figure flashed into existence outside the Uchiha Clan compound, and he glanced back at the chaotic area, a cold smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

The seed had been planted; now, it was time to see how it would ferment.

Inside the Uchiha Security Department, the atmosphere was heavy.

Acting Clan Head Setsuna Uchiha picked up the Sealing Scroll from the floor with a grim expression.

The scroll was of a common style, the most ordinary type of Sealing Scroll.

"Have you searched everywhere? No trace of the intruder?" he asked the clansman beside him in a cold voice.

"Yes, Lord Setsuna. The opponent was extremely fast and seemed to have used a highly sophisticated genjutsu to interfere with the guards' perception."

Setsuna Uchiha let out a cold snort and waved his hand to order the others to increase security, while he took the scroll back to his office.

He carefully inspected the scroll, and after confirming there were no traps, he cautiously undid the seal.

Hum!

As the seal was released, a familiar fluctuation of Yin Release chakra emanated from it.

In the center of the scroll, a Three-Tomoe Sharingan that had lost its luster lay quietly.

This eyeball was very fresh, with bloodstains still on it.

It looked as if it had been gouged out not long ago, but had lost its vitality due to a lack of proper preservation.

"This is a Sharingan?" Setsuna Uchiha's pupils constricted.

There were already very few people in the Uchiha Clan capable of awakening the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and now one had been gouged out.

Suppressing his rage, he reached out to touch the eyeball, attempting to sense the residual ocular power.

A moment later, he recoiled his hand, his face filled with shock and fury.

"Kagami Uchiha. This is the ocular power of Kagami. Although it is extremely faint, there is no mistake!"

Kagami Uchiha, a disciple of the Second Hokage, was also an Uchiha genius highly regarded by the Second Hokage.

He was once regarded by the Uchiha Clan as their hope, the candidate Setsuna Uchiha had intended to push for the position of Hokage.

However, after executing a top-secret S-rank mission in the Land of Lightning many years ago, his fate became unknown.

Neither hide nor hair of him had been seen since, dead or alive.

Now, his eyes had actually been returned in such a manner.

"This is a naked provocation, an insult to the entire Uchiha Clan!"

The fury in the chest of Setsuna Uchiha was ready to erupt.

He suddenly noticed a small slip of paper stuck to the inside of the scroll. He carefully peeled it off and unfolded it.

There were only two words scrawled on the paper: Danzō.

In an instant, countless clues and memories flooded the mind of Setsuna Uchiha.

Back when Kagami Uchiha went to the Land of Lightning, the specific details of his mission were unknown.

However, the subsequent support and search operations were primarily handled by Shimura Danzō, who was the Hokage Assistant at the time.

Could Kagami's disappearance really be related to Danzō? Is this eye a warning? Or is someone trying to use me as a blade to kill another?

Setsuna Uchiha could not tell, but the only thing he could do now, regardless of whether this letter was true or false, was to ensure the dignity of the Uchiha Clan was not trampled upon!

He carefully collected the blood from the eyeball; this was the only proof to verify if the Sharingan had been stolen by Shimura Danzō.

"Shimura Danzō." Setsuna Uchiha squeezed the name through his teeth, his eyes flashing with the paranoia characteristic of the Uchiha.

If Yusuke were to see this, he would certainly agree with the view Tobirama Senju held of the Uchiha Clan: they were all a bit unhinged.

"Gather the elites of the clan."

"Follow me to the Shimura Clan Compound. Tonight, the Shimura Clan must give us an explanation."

Setsuna Uchiha stood up abruptly and gave the order.

Yusuke sensed the commotion coming from the direction of the Uchiha Clan compound; he knew that Setsuna Uchiha had made his move.

"Shimura Danzō, this should be enough to keep you busy for a while."

He stopped paying attention to the chaos behind him, his figure flickering a few times before he returned to his own home.

He closed the door, shutting out the clamor of the outside world.

He took the complete Uzumaki Clan Treasure Vault Key from his ninja tool pouch.

The key felt ice-cold to the touch, its patterns gleaming with an ancient luster under the lamplight.

The treasures of the Land of Whirlpools, those powerful sealing techniques, would give him more confidence when facing future crises.

He spread out the map of the Land of Whirlpools he had purchased, his finger tracing the border of the Land of Fire before pointing to the scorched earth that had become ruins.

He marked the locations he had previously visited on the map, eliminating them one by one, and circled several suspicious spots.

After finishing, he prepared to set off alone, intending to use the Flying Thunder God technique he had left along the way to catapult himself and return to the Land of Whirlpools quickly.

Just as he was about to act, a very slight sound came from the window.

Yusuke became alert instantly, his chakra circulating quietly as his sharp gaze swept toward the window.

A figure nimbly vaulted through the window, landing without a sound.

The moonlight outlined her tall frame and signature hime-cut hairstyle.

It was Hyuga Aya; she still wore her icy expression, her pure white eyes sweeping over Yusuke before finally settling on the key and map in his hands.

"You are going to the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools," she stated with certainty.

Yusuke put away the key and map, his expression calm: "Something you need?"

"I am going with you."

"Two people are safer, and my Byakugan can help you avoid a lot of trouble."

Hyuga Aya said concisely.

Yusuke shook his head, refusing just as bluntly: "No need, it is more convenient for me to act alone. I can use the Flying Thunder God technique to travel."

"Flying Thunder God..." Hyuga Aya subconsciously repeated the term.

Suddenly, her face flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye, the heat spreading all the way to her earlobes.

In those eyes that were always cold, a flame of shame and anger ignited instantly.

She gritted her teeth as she looked at Yusuke, remembering the time she had been bathing earlier.

She had seen through a mirror that there was a Flying Thunder God seal mark on her smooth back, bearing the words "I was here."

And most crucially, she could not remove it.
