Mission Complete

As soon as Yun Xi temporarily refused to turn in the mission, the system's prompt disappeared from his mind.

After collecting the two Sharingan, Yun Xi quickly began searching for the bodies of other Uchiha clan members.

He wasn't sure whether it was because the battle had already reached its fiercest stage,

or because Root Division didn't have enough people.

In the time that followed, Yun Xi didn't encounter a single Root Division ninja.

And he had increasingly good luck with his mission to collect Sharingan.

In just over an hour, he had already gathered more than thirty Sharingan.

"Looks like the battle should be almost over, right?"

Watching the flames of battle in the distance grow dimmer and dimmer, Yun Xi realized that the Uchiha Clan Downfall Incident was nearly over.

"I'd better speed up collecting the Sharingan. Otherwise, once the Root Division ninjas finish putting down the Uchiha Clan, they'll be competing with me for the Sharingan!"

Realizing he was running out of time, Yun Xi stopped holding back and headed straight into the battlefield.

Relying on his incredible speed, he frantically collected the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan members.

An hour later, after placing the eyes of the last Uchiha clan member into his pocket,

Yun Xi finally said excitedly, "System, I choose to complete the mission!"

"Ding. The host has collected a total of 107 mission items—Sharingan. Would you like to turn them all in?"

Hearing that Yun Xi wanted 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.

Yun Xi glanced at it and saw that the system hadn't skimmed off any of the Sharingan he had worked so hard to collect.

Then he immediately chose to turn in the mission.

Although the system had always been trustworthy, Yun Xi still counted them himself before choosing to submit the mission.

After all, he always had the feeling that the system would pocket his things!

"Detected: the host is slandering the system. The remainder of the mission reward has been deducted."

Just as Yun Xi was grumbling about the system in his mind, a system notification nearly made him spit blood!

"Damn system! Are you spying on me?"

Yun Xi hadn't expected his system to be such a jerk.

He'd only thought it, but it had gone and deducted seven of his Sharingan!

"The system is one with the host. How could that be called spying?"

Yun Xi hadn't expected the system to actually explain itself, which only made him feel more aggrieved.

But to avoid suffering an even greater loss, Yun Xi decided not to say anything else!

Yun Xi: "This baby feels wronged. This baby is suffering!"

"Ding. Congratulations, host, on completing the hidden mission—Tragedy of the Uchiha. The rewards are as follows."

"Mission Reward One: Susanoo can now be activated even when using only one Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Mission Reward Two: Hidden reward based on the number of Sharingan collected by the host—Amaterasu's power increased by one hundred percent!"

Although Yun Xi and the system couldn't stand each other, the system still upheld its principles of fairness and impartiality.

It promptly gave Yun Xi his mission rewards.

"Damn system! Why does it hurt again?"

The instant he received the rewards, Yun Xi's left eye activated its Sharingan.

A stream of blood ran from his eye.

Along with it came excruciating pain. Even in Heaven Curse Mark mode, Yun Xi couldn't help covering his eye with his hand.

"Ding. The host's body determines the reaction to the enhancement. The system has no control over it."

In response to Yun Xi's question, the system gave him a rare reply.

After distributing the rewards, the system disappeared again.

As time passed, Yun Xi's pain gradually subsided.

After more than ten minutes, Yun Xi was finally able to open his eye. The process had been painful,

but he was fairly satisfied with the result.

The appearance of his Mangekyō Sharingan hadn't changed, but Yun Xi could clearly feel that the eye had gained more chakra.

The various Sharingan techniques were released by drawing on the chakra contained within the eyes.

The more chakra an eye contained, the more powerful the techniques it could unleash.

Yun Xi discovered that the system's enhancement had raised his strength by an entire level.

If the old Yun Xi had been a novice among Kage Level fighters,

then after the system's enhancement, he was at least a full-fledged Kage Level fighter!

"Amaterasu!"

Yun Xi activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and unleashed Amaterasu.

He discovered that its power had indeed doubled compared to before.

Its color had also changed noticeably.

It had shifted from its original purplish black to pale purple, while both its ability to cling to targets and its destructive power had been greatly enhanced.

Yun Xi's Amaterasu even burned through the rock beneath him.

If he hadn't deliberately extinguished the flames, they probably would have caused even more destruction...

After seeing the power of his Amaterasu, Yun Xi deactivated his Mangekyō Sharingan.

He still had something more important to do!

"Uchiha Itachi should have dealt with Uchiha Yuefu by now, right?"

As the fighting around him dwindled, Yun Xi knew the Uchiha rebellion was over.

The outcome was naturally the same as in the original story: the entire Uchiha Clan had been wiped out...

And Sasuke had awakened his two-tomoe Sharingan from hatred at this time.

"I should go check on Itachi."

Yun Xi had originally planned to head straight home, minimizing the risk of exposing himself.

But after thinking it over, he decided to go see Itachi after all.

He couldn't be sure whether his presence had changed the original story's ending.

To be safe, Yun Xi decided to go into the Uchiha Clan's compound.

He wanted to see what had happened inside!

"Is power really that important?"

Seeing how the Uchiha Clan, once Konoha's greatest clan, had been reduced to ruins,

Yun Xi couldn't help feeling a little rueful.

He couldn't understand why power meant so much to these people.

They were even willing to gamble an entire clan on it...

It was an act he couldn't understand.

In Yun Xi's eyes, power wasn't a good thing.

If you tried to seize power that wasn't yours when you lacked the strength to do so,

there was only one possible outcome.

You'd be wiped out by someone stronger, without the slightest chance.

The Uchiha Clan was a perfect example.

Were the Uchiha strong?

They were!

But it depended on who they were being compared to.

Compared with the other clans in Konoha, the Uchiha Clan was indeed one of the village's top clans.

But that didn't mean they were invincible in Konoha.

At the very least, both the Anbu led by the Third Hokage and Danzo's Root Division could stand against the Uchiha Clan.

In Yun Xi's view, while Danzo and Obito were certainly to blame for sparking this battle,

the real reason the whole clan had been harmed was the blind arrogance of the Uchiha Clan's current leader, Uchiha Yuefu...
