Come, come kill me!

[Ding, Uchiha clan member death detected!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Three-Tomoe Sharingan *1, Uchiha-Style Sword Technique Mystery LV5, Uchiha-Style Genjutsu Mystery LV4, Uchiha-Style Fire Release Mystery LV5, Uchiha Jonin Chakra...]

The moment Uchiha Zongxian died, all the power possessed by this elite Uchiha Jonin was thoroughly plundered by Uchiha Jin through the system's capabilities.

Uchiha Jin was clearly well-prepared; the moment the system notification sounded in his mind, he decisively issued the command.

Merge!

Just as the massive Susanoo stood in all its glory, and the Uchiha clansmen and the dignitaries on the podium were mesmerized by its power, no one noticed the violent transformation brewing within Uchiha Jin's body.

Two pairs of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, two pairs of Two-Tomoe Sharingan...

Combined with the pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan that Uchiha Jin had already fused with his own Two-Tomoe Sharingan...

Integrated with the chakra of six Uchiha ninjas of the same origin, everything was perfectly blended together under the mighty power of the system.

Satisfaction! Power!

An unparalleled sense of satisfaction and strength flooded Uchiha Jin's mind. It was an indescribable feeling of fulfillment and warmth; Uchiha Jin could clearly sense the "defects" in his own bloodline being filled in bit by bit.

Most intuitively, his own Sharingan was constantly boiling with ocular power. Both in quantity and quality, it was undergoing a rapid metamorphosis, charging bravely toward that legendary bottleneck.

He had sensed this strange feeling of his bloodline being completed and transformed back when he fused his first pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan. He was certain that as long as he could fuse enough Sharingan...

Whether it was the Mangekyo Sharingan, the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, or even the more terrifying Rinnegan, none of them would remain out of reach.

Of course!

If he truly wanted to reach that level, the current Uchiha Clan was clearly not enough to serve as a stepping stone.

What a pity...

Uchiha Shisui was still alive!

However, Uchiha Jin had anticipated this. After all, "Body Flicker Shisui" did not earn his reputation for nothing, and the power of the Mangekyo was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

If a mere suicide operative could take down Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Jin wouldn't have been so wary all these years.

As for Zongxian!

This fellow was the very person who had suffered at the funeral Uchiha Jin attended a year ago. The pain of losing his son had almost driven this "Flame Demon" to awaken his Mangekyo in a fit of rage, but unfortunately, he failed to break through the final barrier.

Although he didn't provide Uchiha Jin with a Mangekyo, he did become a pawn burdened by the hatred of his son's murder.

One must also thank "Pot Shadow" Shimura Danzo; any mud slung at this guy would almost always stick, especially since the Uchiha Clan was deeply convinced of his guilt.

However, Uchiha Jin wasn't entirely making things up. If Danzo didn't have a hand in the death of Zongxian's son, it would truly be a miracle.

How could a mere routine escort mission lead to the death of an elite Uchiha Jonin with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan? Combined with the bandages Danzo kept wrapped so tightly, the trickery involved was hardly surprising.

"Rest in peace; I will fulfill what I promised you," Uchiha Jin whispered in his heart.

Although he lost such a useful pawn and a tool that he could command like an extension of his own arm, he wasn't exactly devastated. After all, while the "Flame Demon" had fallen, his power remained by his side in a different form.

It was just a pity...

Even after fusing all the Sharingan in the system space this time, the awakening of the Mangekyo still...

Failed!

After the initial uncontrollable sense of expansion, Uchiha Jin could perceive that although the tomoe in his pupils were still spinning frantically and the scarlet ocular power had a tendency to condense into substance, a terrifying, unprecedented mental will was stirring deep within the Sharingan.

However...

Even with the system perfectly merging so many pairs of Sharingan, this accumulation was ultimately unable to break through that final barrier.

The first effort is the strongest, the second is weaker...

The violent changes within Uchiha Jin's pupils gradually subsided. The now incredibly dense ocular power retreated into the deepest parts of his Sharingan, as if preparing for the next charge.

"Hoo..."

Protected by the massive green Susanoo, Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but exhale in lingering fear. He truly couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying, evil ocular technique would emerge if a "suicide fanatic" like Uchiha Jin awakened that evil power, or what future events would unfold that would be detrimental to the peace of the village and the clan.

Fortunately, it seemed the heavens still favored the village, as Uchiha Jin had not succeeded in opening the Mangekyo.

It was just that...

This turn of events left Uchiha Shisui even more confused. He had experienced the painful process of awakening the Mangekyo himself, and only the extreme agony of losing love could trigger this cursed divine power.

But Uchiha Zongxian had clearly been sent by Uchiha Jin to assassinate him; regardless of the outcome, death was the only destined result.

To almost awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan because of the death of a suicide assassin...

This contradictory sense of dissonance made Uchiha Shisui feel even more conflicted. Wrapped in the powerful strength of his Susanoo, he felt like a mosquito caught in a spiderweb, struggling desperately but to no avail.

His mind couldn't keep up!

Uchiha Jin looked at Uchiha Shisui quietly, neither sad nor happy, completely ignoring the terrifying pressure emanating from the Susanoo.

Although he hadn't successfully awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, it was irrelevant to Uchiha Jin's plan. Success would have been worth celebrating, but failure was not a pity.

Because from the moment Shisui's Mangekyo was exposed, he had already fallen into the death trap Uchiha Jin had woven for him, and the final outcome was already set in stone.

At this moment, what Uchiha Jin was most curious about was how an ultimate saint like Uchiha Shisui, who would only choose to jump into a lake and end his life after having his eyes stolen, would choose to meet his own end.

Hmm...

After sensing his ocular power, which was now several times stronger and more solidified than before, Uchiha Jin discovered that he could manipulate his own spiritual energy with much greater precision.

Realizing this, a wicked grin spread across Uchiha Jin's lips, and his eyes, filled with mockery, once again turned toward the massive Susanoo on the arena.

At the same time, Uchiha Shisui, who had just let out a sigh of relief, suddenly felt an extremely concealed ocular power, carrying a cold and sinister spiritual will, connecting to him.

"I was the one who sent Sozen!"

Jin!

Without needing to think, Uchiha Shisui's furious eyes glared back in the direction where Jin stood.

Below the arena, surrounded by countless members of the Uchiha clan, the mockery on Uchiha Jin's face deepened as another surge of will was transmitted toward Shisui along with his ocular power.

Come!

Come and kill me!
