Three-Tomoe Sharingan

Qingcheng was startled. I almost forgot—I came to pay respects to my mother. I never expected to win over Kurenai. Kurenai Yuhi is a Konoha jonin skilled in genjutsu.

Qingcheng silently added, I can probably get genjutsu points from her. Maybe my talent for genjutsu will improve dramatically. Combined with my Sharingan, I'll be unstoppable.

Qingcheng smiled. "Let's go to the Uchiha Clan cemetery and pay our respects to the victims."

The group immediately continued onward in grand procession toward the Uchiha Clan cemetery. Several members carrying yellow paper were still scattering spirit money into the air.

Kurenai Yuhi followed as well, smiling. "This is my first time meeting your family. Should I bring something?"

Qingcheng smiled. "My mother was a very cheerful person. She won't mind."

Kurenai Yuhi sighed emotionally. "Then you must miss her very much."

Qingcheng's expression instantly darkened at those words. Reluctantly, he said, "Yes. I often miss them, and I'm deeply grateful to them for giving me a second life. But I have no way to repay them."

Kurenai Yuhi looked surprised. "Missing family like that is truly painful. When my father had just passed away, I cried every night. Even now, I can't forget that scene."

Qingcheng looked astonished. "That's truly brutal. You couldn't sleep night after night."

When Qingcheng and his group arrived at the Uchiha Clan cemetery, everyone was stunned. More than eight hundred gravestones filled their sight, each one packed tightly against the others.

Elders and children, women and husbands—every gravestone belonged to an Uchiha Clan member. Every one of them had had their eyes gouged out, and even in death, they could not retain an intact body.

Thinking of this, the hatred in Qingcheng's heart multiplied. Uchiha Itachi, look at the good thing you did. And Uchiha Obito, you won't die well either.

Qingcheng continued to curse inwardly, Obito, you pitiful and damned clown. One day, I'll bang Rin right in front of you. You obviously knew about the Impure World Reincarnation technique—couldn't it revive Rin?

Grinding his back teeth, Qingcheng cursed again, You beast. You insisted on carrying out the Eye of the Moon Plan, staying with Rin in a dream. You clown, were you afraid that if Rin came back to life, she'd fall for Kakashi?

Kurenai Yuhi could sense Qingcheng's face turning livid. Concerned, she asked, "Qingcheng, are you all right? You need to stay rational."

Hearing Kurenai Yuhi's words, Qingcheng waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. Then he walked toward the gravestones of Uchiha Momoko and Uchiha Mei.

At that moment, Yunye shouted, "Music!" The band members began beating gongs and drums again, playing a funeral dirge.

Yunye cried as he recited the eulogy, "Honored Miss Momoko, you were like sunlight, illuminating the Uchiha Clan. It was precisely because of your devotion that our great Clan Head Qingcheng could be born into this beautiful world. Great Lady Momoko, may you rest in peace."

Hearing that eulogy, Qingcheng's face filled with sorrow. He walked before Uchiha Momoko's gravestone and looked at the familiar photograph, his eyes instantly reddening.

At the thought of his mother lying here forever, the hatred in Qingcheng's heart became endless. The Two-Tomoe Sharingan in his eye sockets spun rapidly.

When Qingcheng saw the gravestone of his younger sister, Uchiha Mei, the hatred in his heart nearly surged into the heavens.

At that moment, Qingcheng's scarlet Sharingan activated and spun as it split apart. The Two-Tomoe Sharingan directly became a Three-Tomoe Sharingan. If Qingcheng had not been wearing sunglasses, his secret would have been exposed immediately.

The three rapidly spinning tomoe were about to overlap, on the verge of becoming the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Seeing Qingcheng's emotions suddenly change, Kurenai Yuhi shouted anxiously, "Qingcheng, calm down! Hatred will consume you!"

After saying that, Kurenai Yuhi stretched out her arms and hugged Uchiha Qingcheng around the waist from behind.

Hearing Kurenai Yuhi's anxious shout, Qingcheng instantly regained control of his emotions. The three spinning tomoe in his scarlet eyes stopped rotating, interrupting their evolution toward the Mangekyō Sharingan and remaining a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Qingcheng became even sadder and cried out, "My Mangekyō Sharingan! I was just about to evolve it!"

Kurenai Yuhi comforted him, "Qingcheng-kun, you don't need to care so much about the Mangekyō Sharingan. Those eyes are unlucky. Besides, you can't even awaken the Sharingan, so don't talk about revenge in the future."

Qingcheng deactivated his Sharingan, revealing pitch-black eyes. He took off the sunglasses perched on his nose and said with a tearful smile, "Thank you, Kurenai. You're far too good to me. Stay at my house tonight, and I'll make you a thunderbolt, super-invincible supreme feast."

Tonight, I'll bang you to death. You interrupted me at such a crucial moment—it hurts too much. I spent the whole day building up my emotions, and they disappeared in an instant.

Seeing the bloodshot veins still in Qingcheng's eyes, Kurenai Yuhi said concernedly, "Don't cry anymore. I'll love you properly from now on."

Yamahuku immediately spoke up as well. "Clan Head, don't cry. I understand that you want the Mangekyō Sharingan. Next time I go to the glasses store, I'll buy you a pair of colored contacts. You can wear them as the Mangekyō Sharingan, and then no one will dare laugh at you for being a dead-last Clan Head."

Hearing this, Uchiha Qingcheng's face darkened. He shouted, "Shut up, Yamahuku! Stop causing trouble for me."

Kurenai Yuhi asked with great concern, "Qingcheng, do you really want the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Qingcheng immediately shook his head, looking disgusted. "Kurenai, you're right. Those are cursed eyes. I'll take your advice. I don't want them anymore."

Hearing that, Kurenai Yuhi looked delighted. She smiled and said, "Are all Uchiha Clan members so willing to listen to advice? Not stubborn at all?"

Qingcheng smiled. "Of course. Our Uchiha Clan is all about listening to advice. We're not stubborn at all, nor do we want to fight or argue with others. We just want to do a little business."

Kurenai Yuhi smiled. "Qingcheng-kun, I can tell that you're a kind and filial person."

Qingcheng smiled. "I said it: from today onward, Kurenai Yuhi is my real father-in-law. I'll let him know that I, Uchiha Qingcheng, will definitely take good care of Kurenai Yuhi from now on."

Kurenai Yuhi looked deeply grateful and said happily, "Thank you, Qingcheng-kun. I'll also fulfill my duties as a wife and help your Uchiha Clan."

Hearing that, Qingcheng was filled with excitement. He smiled and said, "Kurenai, you really are the best gift."

After Yunye and the band members finished performing and reciting the eulogy, they presented flowers. Even three sticks of incense were placed before Uchiha Fugaku's grave.

Qingcheng then saw Uchiha Izumi's gravestone and sighed. "Girl, falling for that beast Uchiha Itachi was truly your misfortune."

The one who killed Uchiha Izumi was Uchiha Obito. When he killed her, he even praised her: "What a pair of clear Sharingan. I like them very much. I'll keep your eyes as a collection."

Therefore, even the dead Uchiha Izumi had no eyes. Uchiha Obito also treated Sharingan as extra lives. In his laboratory hung a whole wall of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, all gouged from the eyes of Uchiha Clan members. And he still had Uchiha blood running through his veins.

Qingcheng looked at the other gravestones as well: Uchiha Yashiro, Uchiha Inabi, Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Noriko, Uchiha Kurodai, and Uchiha Tekka.

They had all been Elite Jonin of the Uchiha Clan. Though they belonged to different factions, without exception, they had all been ninjas of the same clan. Yet they ended up dead, with even their eyes missing.

Qingcheng felt especially miserable. Angrily, he said, "Burn more spirit money for them, so they can be wealthy ghosts down below."

Yamahuku immediately nodded solemnly. "We won't let them suffer any grievance down there."
