Mission Accomplished

As Yun Xi temporarily refused to submit the mission, the system's prompt vanished from his mind.

After securing the two Sharingan, Yun Xi quickly began searching for the bodies of other Uchiha clansmen.

He could not tell if it was because the war had reached a fever pitch, or if the Root Division was simply short-handed.

In the time that followed, Yun Xi did not encounter a single Root Division ninja.

Consequently, his task of harvesting Sharingan became increasingly fortunate.

In just over an hour, Yun Xi had already collected more than thirty Sharingan.

"It seems the battle is nearing its end, then?"

Watching the fires of combat in the distance grow dim, Yun Xi realized that the Uchiha Clan Downfall Incident was drawing to a close.

I need to speed up the collection of these Sharingan, otherwise, once the Root Division ninjas finish suppressing the Uchiha Clan, they'll start competing with me for them!

Realizing time was running out, Yun Xi stopped being cautious and began moving actively across the battlefield.

Relying on his immense speed, he frantically collected Sharingan from the Uchiha clansmen.

Another hour later, after tucking the eyes of the final Uchiha clansman into his robes, Yun Xi finally said with excitement, "System, I choose to complete the mission!"

"Ding! Detected that the host has collected a total of 107 mission items—Sharingan. Do you wish to turn them all in?"

Hearing that Yun Xi was ready to submit the mission, the system promptly appeared in his mind.

At the same time, a virtual panel appeared before Yun Xi's eyes.

It listed the rewards for this mission.

After a glance, Yun Xi found that the system hadn't skimmed off any of the Sharingan he had worked so hard to collect.

He then chose to submit the mission immediately.

Although the system's reputation had always been decent, Yun Xi still counted them himself before choosing to submit.

After all, he always had a nagging feeling that the system would try to embezzle his belongings!

"Detected that the host is slandering the system; mission rewards have been deducted by the remainder."

Just as Yun Xi was grumbling about the system in his heart, a system prompt made him want to cough up blood!

"You dog of a system! Are you monitoring me?"

Yun Xi hadn't expected his system to be this petty.

He had only thought about it, yet it had directly deducted seven of his Sharingan!

"The system is one with the host; how can this be called monitoring?"

Yun Xi didn't expect the system to actually offer an explanation, which only made him feel more depressed.

But to avoid suffering even greater losses, he decided not to say anything more!

Yun Xi: This baby is aggrieved, this baby is suffering inside!

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission—Tragedy of the Uchiha. Rewards are as follows."

"Mission Reward 1: Susanoo can now be activated even with a single Mangekyo Sharingan."

"Mission Reward 2: Hidden reward issued based on the number of Sharingan collected—Amaterasu power increased by 100%!"

Although Yun Xi and the system held mutual disdain for one another, adhering to the principle of fairness and justice, the system still granted the rewards to Yun Xi in a timely manner.

"You dog of a system! Why does it hurt again?"

The moment he received the rewards, Yun Xi's left eye automatically activated the Sharingan mode.

A stream of blood flowed directly from his eye.

Accompanied by excruciating pain, even Yun Xi, who was in the Heaven Curse Mark mode, couldn't help but cover his eye with his hand.

"Ding! The intensity of the reinforcement is determined by the host's physical body; the system cannot intervene."

Faced with Yun Xi's question, the system offered a rare reply.

After the rewards were issued, the system vanished once more.

Yun Xi's pain gradually subsided as time passed.

Ten minutes later, Yun Xi was finally able to open his eyes. Although the process had been agonizing, he was quite satisfied with the result.

The appearance of his Mangekyo Sharingan hadn't changed, but Yun Xi could clearly feel that the ocular power within his eyes had become much more abundant.

The various ocular techniques of the Sharingan were released through the power contained within the eyes.

The more ocular power an eye possessed, the greater the might of the techniques released.

Yun Xi realized that after the system's reinforcement, his strength had risen to a whole new level.

If Yun Xi had previously been a mere novice among Kage-level experts, then after being strengthened by the system, he was now, at the very least, a bona fide Kage-level master!

"Amaterasu!"

Yun Xi activated his Mangekyo Sharingan directly and unleashed a strike of Amaterasu.

He discovered that the power of his Amaterasu had indeed increased by about twofold compared to before.

Furthermore, its color had undergone a distinct change.

It had shifted from its original purple-black to a pale violet, while both its adhesive properties and destructive capabilities had been significantly enhanced.

Yun Xi's single strike of Amaterasu even burned straight through the rocks on the ground.

Had Yun Xi not actively extinguished the flames, it likely would have caused even greater destruction.

Having witnessed the power of his Amaterasu, Yun Xi deactivated his Mangekyo Sharingan.

He still had more important matters to attend to.

"Uchiha Itachi should have already taken care of Uchiha Yuefu by now, right?"

Watching the fighting around him dwindle, Yun Xi understood that the Uchiha Clan's rebellion had come to an end.

The result was naturally the same as in the original story, concluding with the total annihilation of the Uchiha Clan.

It was also at this moment that Sasuke, driven by hatred, awakened his two-tomoe Sharingan.

"I should go see Itachi."

Originally, Yun Xi had intended to head straight home to minimize the risk of exposing himself.

However, after a moment of contemplation, he decided to check on Itachi.

Yun Xi could not be certain whether his own appearance would cause any changes to the ending of the original story.

To be safe, he decided to head into the Uchiha district to see what the situation was inside.

"Is power really that important?"

Looking at the Uchiha Clan, once the premier noble house of Konoha, now reduced to a pile of ruins, Yun Xi felt a sense of melancholy.

He could not fathom why power was held in such high regard in the eyes of these people.

They were even willing to gamble the lives of an entire clan for it.

In Yun Xi's heart, this was a behavior he could not comprehend.

After all, in his view, power was not necessarily a good thing.

If one were to forcibly seize power that did not belong to them without sufficient strength, there would inevitably be only one consequence.

That was to be wiped out by someone stronger, without a shred of a chance.

The Uchiha Clan was a prime example of this.

Was the Uchiha Clan strong?

Yes, strong!

But it depended on who they were being compared to.

Compared to ordinary Konoha clans, the Uchiha were indeed a top-tier family in the village.

But that did not mean they were invincible within Konoha.

At the very least, both the Anbu led by the Third Hokage and Danzo's Root were capable of going toe-to-toe with the Uchiha.

In Yun Xi's opinion, while Danzo and Obito were certainly to blame for inciting this conflict, the root cause was ultimately the blind arrogance of the Uchiha Clan's leader, Uchiha Yuefu, which had doomed the entire family.
