Qingcheng was startled, thinking, I almost forgot, I came to pay respects to my mother. I can't believe I managed to win over Kurenai. Kurenai Yuhi is a Jonin of Konoha skilled in Genjutsu.
He mused to himself, I can extract Genjutsu points from her. Maybe my Genjutsu talent will greatly improve. Coupled with my Sharingan, I'd be unstoppable.
Qingcheng smiled and said, "Let's go to the Uchiha Clan's cemetery to pay our respects to the fallen."
Then, the group continued their solemn procession towards the Uchiha cemetery. A few team members, holding yellow paper, were still scattering paper money into the air.
Kurenai Yuhi followed, a smile on her face. "This is my first time meeting your family. Should I bring something?"
Qingcheng chuckled, "My mother was a very open-minded person; she wouldn't stand on ceremony."
Kurenai Yuhi said wistfully, "You must miss her very much, then!"
Hearing this, Qingcheng's expression instantly darkened. He said with a hint of sorrow, "Yes, I often miss them, and I'm very grateful that they gave me a second life, but I can't repay them."
Kurenai Yuhi looked surprised. "That feeling of missing loved ones is truly painful. When my father passed away, I cried every night. Even now, I can't forget that scene."
Qingcheng looked astonished. "That's truly awful. Not being able to sleep all night."
When Qingcheng and his group arrived at the Uchiha Clan's cemetery, everyone was shocked. Over eight hundred gravestones met their eyes, each densely packed together.
Old men and children, women and husbands—each gravestone represented a member of the Uchiha Clan. These Uchiha Clan members had their eyes gouged out; even in death, they couldn't have complete bodies.
Recalling this, the hatred in Qingcheng's heart intensified exponentially. He cursed inwardly, Uchiha Itachi, look at what you've done! And Uchiha Obito, you won't die a good death either!
Qingcheng continued to curse, Obito, you pathetic, despicable clown! Later, I'm going to mercilessly violate Rin right in front of you! You clearly know that the Impure World Reincarnation jutsu can revive Rin, right?
Qingcheng gnashed his back teeth and continued to curse, You beast! You just had to pursue the Eye of the Moon Plan to be with Rin in a dream! You clown, are you afraid Rin would prefer Kakashi if she were revived?!
Kurenai Yuhi could feel Qingcheng's face turning ashen. She asked worriedly, "Qingcheng, are you alright? You need to calm down."
Hearing Kurenai Yuhi's words, Qingcheng waved his hand, indicating he was fine. He then walked towards the gravestones of Uchiha Momoko and Uchiha Mei.
Just then, Yunye shouted, "Music!" and the assembled band members began to beat drums and gongs, playing a mournful tune.
Yunye then cried out a prayer, "Respected Miss Momoko, you were like sunlight, illuminating the Uchiha Clan. It is because of your sacrifice that our great Clan Head Qingcheng could be born into this beautiful world. Great Lady Momoko, may you rest in peace."
Hearing the eulogy, Qingcheng's face filled with sorrow. He walked to Uchiha Momoko's gravestone and, seeing the familiar photograph, his eyes instantly turned red.
As Qingcheng thought of his mother, laid to rest here, the hatred in his heart became boundless. The two-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes spun rapidly.
When Qingcheng saw the grave of his sister, Uchiha Mei, the hatred in his heart threatened to burst forth into the heavens.
At that moment, the scarlet Sharingan in Qingcheng's eyes activated directly. They spun and split, and the two-tomoe Sharingan immediately evolved into Three-Tomoe Sharingan. If Qingcheng hadn't been wearing sunglasses, his secret would have been revealed.
The three rapidly spinning tomoe were about to converge, on the verge of becoming the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Seeing Qingcheng's drastically changed demeanor, Kurenai Yuhi cried out anxiously, "Qingcheng, quickly calm your emotions! Hatred will consume you!"
With that, Kurenai Yuhi extended her arms and embraced Uchiha Qingcheng's waist from behind.
Hearing Kurenai Yuhi's anxious cry, Qingcheng instantly regained his composure. In his scarlet eyes, the three spinning tomoe stopped rotating, halting their evolution into the Mangekyo Sharingan and reverting to the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Qingcheng was even more heartbroken now, crying out, "My Mangekyo Sharingan! I was so close to evolving!"
Kurenai Yuhi comforted him, "Qingcheng-kun, you don't need to worry too much about the Mangekyo Sharingan. Those eyes are ill-omened. Besides, you can't awaken the Sharingan anyway. Don't talk about revenge anymore."
Qingcheng deactivated his Sharingan, his eyes returning to their dark color. He removed the sunglasses from his nose, and with a wry smile, said, "Thank you, Kurenai. You're too good to me. Stay at my place tonight, and I'll treat you to a mind-blowing, super-duper, supreme feast!"
Qingcheng thought inwardly, Tonight, I'm going to make love to you until you can't move! To interrupt my jutsu at such a crucial moment—that's too painful! I'd been building up that emotion all day, and it just vanished.
Kurenai Yuhi looked at Qingcheng's bloodshot eyes and said with concern, "Don't cry. I'll take good care of you from now on."
Yamahuku immediately spoke up, "Clan Head, don't cry! I understand you want the Mangekyo Sharingan. Next time, I'll go to the optical shop and buy you a pair of colored contacts so you can wear them as Mangekyo Sharingan. That way, no one will dare to laugh at you for being a dead-last Clan Head!"
Uchiha Qingcheng's face instantly darkened. He shouted, "Shut up, Yamahuku! Don't cause me any more trouble!"
Kurenai Yuhi asked with great concern, "Qingcheng, do you really want the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Qingcheng shook his head directly, saying with a look of disdain, "Kurenai, you're absolutely right. Those are cursed eyes. I'll take your advice; I don't want them anymore."
Kurenai Yuhi's face lit up with joy. She smiled and said, "Are the Uchiha Clan members all so receptive to advice? Not stubborn at all?"
Qingcheng chuckled, "Of course! Our Uchiha Clan's main principle is being open to advice, not stubborn at all. We don't want to fight or argue with others; we just want to run a small business."
Kurenai Yuhi smiled and said, "Qingcheng-kun, I can see that you are a kind and filial person."
Qingcheng smiled and said, "I declare that from today onwards, Kurenai Yuhi's father, Kurenai Yuhi, is my father-in-law. I want him to know that I, Uchiha Qingcheng, will take good care of Kurenai Yuhi from now on."
Kurenai Yuhi looked grateful and said happily, "Thank you, Qingcheng-kun. I will also fulfill my duties as a wife and help your Uchiha Clan."
Hearing this, Qingcheng was filled with excitement. He smiled and said, "Kurenai, you truly are the best gift."
Yunye and the band members finished their performance and eulogy. They immediately offered flowers, and even Uchiha Fugaku's grave had three incense sticks placed in it.
Qingcheng then saw Uchiha Izumi's gravestone and said wistfully, "Girl, it was truly your misfortune to fall for a beast like Uchiha Itachi."
Qingcheng thought inwardly, The one who killed Uchiha Izumi was Uchiha Obito. When he killed Uchiha Izumi, he even praised her, saying, "What clear Sharingan! I love them very much. I've collected your eyes."
So the deceased Uchiha Izumi didn't even have her eyes. Uchiha Obito also used the Sharingan as a revival coin. In his laboratory, there was a large collection of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, all gouged from the eyes of the Uchiha Clan. It's ironic that Uchiha blood flows through his veins.
Qingcheng looked at the other gravestones: Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Inabi, Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Noriko, Uchiha Kurodai, Uchiha Tekka.
These were all Elite Jonin of the Uchiha. Although they belonged to different factions, they were all, without exception, clan ninjas. Yet, they met a tragic end, dying without even their eyes.
Qingcheng felt particularly distressed. He said angrily, "Burn more paper money for them so they can be rich ghosts in the afterlife!"
Yamahuku nodded immediately and said solemnly, "They won't suffer any grievances in the afterlife."
