In the blink of an eye, the dragon's body and tail emerged as well.

A Lightning Dragon Technique, about 8 meters long, coiled in front of Uchiha Mingyou, crackling with intense arcs of electricity.

The dragon's eyes glowed with an eerie red light, fixed on the short, stout ninja.

"Nani!! Impossible, how could my ninjutsu..."

The short, stout ninja was dumbfounded. He hadn't seen Uchiha Mingyou use any Lightning Release ninjutsu before, so how could he have copied his signature move, the 'Lightning Dragon Technique'?

He even forgot to run, just standing there watching the Lightning Dragon Technique crackling with powerful electricity charge towards him.

Boom~~

A deafening explosion rang out, and a large area of the forest suffered once again. Under the attack of the powerful lightning, countless trees were snapped in half, and a thick cloud of dirt and dust rose into the sky.

Fortunately, the place where Uchiha Mingyou had stopped was very remote. Otherwise, such a commotion would have alerted Konoha's patrol team long ago, and it was impossible that no one would have come by now.

Uchiha Mingyou didn't care whether the short, stout ninja was dead or alive. Facing such a powerful attack head-on, there was no way he could have survived.

"As expected, they were from Danzo's Root, that old bastard..."

When Uchiha Mingyou walked to the other, already dead, tall and thin ninja, he reached out and pried open his mouth, and sure enough, he found a black mark in the center of his tongue.

Although this was the first time Uchiha Mingyou had actually seen this kind of mark, as a transmigrator who had read the original work, he was no stranger to it.

This was a cursed seal that Danzo implanted in Root members to control them.

Once someone was implanted with this cursed seal, they could never escape Danzo's control for the rest of their lives, and could only obey Danzo's orders.

Otherwise, Danzo only needed to trigger the cursed seal with a thought, and these people would die on the spot.

Moreover, this cursed seal had an even more perverted aspect, which was that they could not reveal anything related to Danzo, otherwise the cursed seal would be triggered automatically.

Understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Uchiha Mingyou didn't stay in place and headed towards the Uchiha compound.

He had to tell his father about this. Even a small fry like Uchiha Mingyou was under surveillance, and other Uchiha clansmen were probably not spared the same treatment.

Ten minutes later, when Uchiha Mingyou returned home, he found Uchiha Fuyue and Uchiha Mikoto kneeling on cushions in the house.

"Dad, Mom, I was followed just now."

Uchiha Mingyou walked into the house and sat down next to them.

"Oh? Who were they?"

Uchiha Mikoto was slightly stunned and put down the needlework in her hands.

Uchiha Fuyue was not too surprised, just slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at Uchiha Mingyou.

"They were two Root ninjas, one specializing in swordsmanship and the other specializing in Lightning Release."

"But I killed them both."

Uchiha Mingyou truthfully told the whole story of what had just happened.

"Uchiha Mingyou, didn't you just graduate from the academy? How could you be a match for Root members?"

Uchiha Mikoto frowned slightly, obviously not believing what Uchiha Mingyou said.

She knew her son's capabilities very well.

Those who could join Root, if not all of them had Jonin strength, were at least Special Jonin, possessing some kind of special ability.

"Uchiha Mingyou, be down-to-earth. I would be very happy if you could be half as good as Uchiha Itachi."

Uchiha Fuyue picked up the tea on the table and took a small sip, shaking his head at Uchiha Mingyou with some helplessness.

Uchiha Fuyue already knew that the Uchiha were under surveillance.

But he could never believe that Uchiha Mingyou had killed Root members.

He only thought that Uchiha Mingyou was making up excuses in order to get his parents' praise, and was even a little disappointed in Uchiha Mingyou.

"Sharingan!!"

"Dad, Mom, do you believe me now?"

Uchiha Mingyou didn't explain too much, and activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to prove his strength.

"Nani~~ Uchiha Mingyou, you really awakened the Uchiha clan's Kekkei Genkai."

A look of joy appeared on Uchiha Mikoto's face. She pulled Uchiha Mingyou in front of her and held Uchiha Mingyou's cheeks, observing Uchiha Mingyou's eyes from left to right.

She wanted to see if all of this was real.

A hint of joy also flashed in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, but he always liked to play the role of a strict father, so he didn't reveal too much.

"Uchiha Mingyou, were you deliberately hiding your strength before?"

Uchiha Fugaku raised the question in his mind. Uchiha Mingyou had always been mediocre before and hadn't shown too much outstanding performance.

How could he suddenly awaken the Sharingan? And it was three tomoe at once.

"Yes, Father, my Sharingan ability is copying, I can copy all ninjutsu and abilities."

Uchiha Mingyou nodded and said a set of excuses he had already thought of.

The general idea was that when he awakened the one-tomoe Sharingan, he gained the ability to copy.

It was thanks to this ability of his one-tomoe Sharingan that he was able to constantly copy techniques in a short period, successfully unlock the three-tomoe, and be promoted to Jonin.

"What? Mingyou, are you telling the truth?"

Even Fuyue lost his composure at this. He grabbed Mingyou's shoulders with both hands, his eyes full of joy.

Among the Uchiha clan members, there had never been a case where an ordinary Sharingan had special abilities.

But Mingyou's strength could only have grown so quickly if this were the case.

"Of course, Dad, Mom, I'll show you."

Mingyou stood up and demonstrated the Mind Body Switch Technique, Lightning Dragon Technique, and other ninjutsu, to prove that he was not lying.

"Haha, good, very good."

"My son will certainly not be a mediocrity."

Fuyue seemed to be in a very good mood. He took Mingyou's arm and walked back to his original seat.

Mikoto was also happy for her son.

She had seen all the cold words and sarcasm that Mingyou had suffered over the years.

In fact, for Mikoto, whether Mingyou was mediocre or a genius, she loved him the same.

After all, he was her own flesh and blood, and what mother would treat her child with cold words and sarcasm just because he didn't perform well?

She raised her hand and touched Mingyou's cheek, her face full of doting love.

"Mingyou, now that things have come to this, there are some things I should tell you."

After Fuyue continued to inquire about Mingyou's abilities, his expression suddenly became serious again.

It was as if a huge weight was pressing on his heart, preventing his furrowed brow from relaxing.

"Dad, what is it? Just tell me."

Mingyou nodded, looking at Fuyue with a serious expression, waiting for him to speak.

In fact, Mingyou could roughly guess that what Fuyue was about to say was probably related to the Uchiha's impending rebellion.
