Mangekyō Sharingan

Yuzhen's brain was a little fried at the moment.

He'd just woken up—

What on earth had happened?

"Senior, what's your name? And while I'm asking, what do you mean by saying I've made a name for myself?" Yuzhen politely asked the man across from him for his name before asking what had happened.

"Hahaha, such a polite young man." The brown-haired youth laughed and pointed to himself. "My name is Uchiha Yashiro."

Yashiro was quite pleased by Yuzhen's manners.

As deputy head of the Military Police Force, Yashiro was fairly well-known within the Uchiha Clan.

As for this Uchiha Yuzhen...

To be honest, there was no better way to describe him than a sudden rising star!

Awakening the Sharingan, siding with clan head Fugaku, slapping Elder Setsuna in the face, and killing Biwa Juzo.

He'd heard about all of it.

But as Uchiha... everyone was a little proud.

Not many people were impressed by Yuzhen's accomplishments back then.

They thought—

Slapping Elder Setsuna in the face was nothing special.

Killing Biwa Juzo, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, wasn't worth mentioning either.

If the elite of the Military Police Force weren't held back by the village,

and could freely leave the village on missions, they could do the same as you.

Uchiha Yuzhen, the only reason we'd give you a second look was that you'd become part of the Hokage's line of master and disciple.

That gave the Uchiha hope of producing a Hokage.

It was also a sign that the village was extending goodwill.

Yashiro had thought the same way before.

Who would've thought...

During this mission, Sunagakure had given the kid a title.

You had to understand that having a title and not having one

were two entirely different things for a ninja.

Once you had one, you were a true powerhouse!

And that wasn't all. In Sunagakure's announcement,

they'd also told the entire Ninja World that he could use Space-Time Ninjutsu to teleport.

That should be the Flying Thunder God...

Other people might not understand how powerful that technique was.

But the Uchiha, who'd been hurt by it, knew better than anyone.

It was a technique that could go toe-to-toe with the Mangekyō Sharingan!

And Uchiha Yuzhen...

In such a short time,

he'd gained strength and fame!

If that wasn't a sudden rise to prominence, what was?

Thinking this, Yashiro smiled warmly at Yuzhen. "As for the title you've earned, I'll explain it all to you."

Over the next little while, as Uchiha Yashiro explained,

Yuzhen gradually pieced together what had happened.

By the time their rescue team returned to Konoha,

Sasori of the Red Sands hadn't been idle either.

Upon returning to Sunagakure, he'd immediately pinned the blame for the Kazekage's death

on Namikaze Minato.

By now, the title of "Yellow Flash" had resounded throughout the Ninja World.

That was...

One of the few records of a single person "killing" a Kage.

The Ninja World couldn't help but be stunned.

And Yuzhen, who had stopped Sasori of the Red Sands and played a crucial role in the mission,

had made a name for himself too.

Since Yuzhen was also a user of the Flying Thunder God, Sunagakure

had given him the title "Body Flicker Yuzhen"!

"Huh?! Body Flicker Yuzhen!!" After hearing Yashiro's explanation, Yuzhen pointed awkwardly at himself. "They really called me that?"

Heaven help him...

Wasn't that supposed to be Shisui's title?

Was it really okay for him to steal it?

Seeing Yuzhen's awkward expression, Uchiha Yashiro was at a loss.

"What's wrong, Yuzhen? Don't you like the title? I think it sounds pretty cool!"

At that,

Uchiha Yuzhen rolled his eyes inwardly.

"Anyway, Senior Yashiro... thanks for explaining. I have something to take care of, so I'll be going."

After saying goodbye, he waved to the seniors

and set off toward the Training Ground in a flash.

Uchiha Yuzhen had never expected the story to start changing at this point.

One part of Yashiro's explanation had just given him a headache.

Because Sasori had managed to pin the Kazekage's death on Konoha this time,

he wouldn't need to do what he had in the original story and defect from Sunagakure.

Considering how, even after defecting for twenty years, he'd had enough charisma to build up his own network of spies in the village,

and considering he also had a grandmother, Chiyo, who doted on him,

wouldn't this guy end up becoming the Fourth Kazekage?!

But with the Kazekage dead,

the Third Shinobi World War should break out sometime around now.

His main concern from here on out was how to survive!

After sorting out his thoughts, Yuzhen

quickly arrived at the Training Ground.

In the quiet woods, Yuzhen sat cross-legged.

With a single thought, his consciousness

drifted to the panel only he could see.

Host: Uchiha Yuzhen

Gender: Male

Age: Twelve

Power: Kage

Affixes: [Eye of the Divine Realm (Red)], [Child of Time and Space (Gold)], [Genius (Gold)], [Phantom Fate (Gold)].

[Uchiha (Purple)], [Lava Style (Purple)], [Steel Training (Purple)], [Sharingan (Blue)].

[Sharingan (Blue)], [Fire Style (Blue)], [Wind Style (Blue)], [Yin Style (Blue)].

[Uchiha Style (Blue)], [Natural Energy Affinity (Blue)], [Vampiric Immortality (Blue)], [Flying Thunder God Technique Formula (Blue)],

Combat Points: 1170

The panel's appearance drew Yuzhen's attention immediately.

Especially the Combat Points he'd earned.

He had 1,170 points. 1,000 had come from Lord Kazekage just now.

Another 100 were from beating Kakashi in a spar before the mission.

The remaining 70 were points he'd saved from before.

Uchiha Yuzhen had already decided how to spend them.

He was Uchiha!

What was the Uchiha Clan's greatest power?

Fire Style? No!

The flashy fighting style of Uchiha Style? No!

Then what was it?

The Sharingan!

Especially the Mangekyō Sharingan!

When every Uchiha unleashed the divine power hidden deep within their eyes...

their strength underwent a world-shaking transformation!

So there was nothing to think about.

Upgrading his Sharingan was a must!

With that thought, Uchiha Yuzhen focused his mind.

"Entry Extraction System, upgrade my Sharingan to the level of a Purple Affix!"

He was quite sure that a Purple Affix Sharingan

would be at the Mangekyō level!

As Yuzhen's thought settled,

the Combat Points on the panel fluctuated.

They dropped straight from 1,170 to 170.

The [Sharingan (Blue)] on the panel changed as well.

[Mangekyō Sharingan (Purple)]: This is the blessing of the God Tree. Your eyes will be unlike any other, and a special power will descend upon them!

Effect: Greatly enhances all the Sharingan's abilities.

A special ability is taking shape within your heart.

Yuzhen could feel his eyes undergoing a world-shaking transformation.

His Dōryoku was now on an entirely different level from before.

"But... the panel says the special ability is still taking shape within my heart."

"That must mean my Dojutsu."

At that thought, Yuzhen's gaze...

turned to the only Red Affix on the panel.

[Eye of the Divine Realm (Red)]!

The system had forcefully raised the level of the Mangekyō Sharingan he'd awakened.

At the time,

his heart hadn't been through any major trauma.

So his Dojutsu was basically a gamble.

If he got lucky,

he could take off like Uchiha Obito.

If he got unlucky,

he'd end up with a useless Dojutsu like Uchiha Shin.

Fortunately, he had Obito's Affix.

That one and only Red Affix would guarantee him the best possible outcome!

With that thought, Yuzhen focused his mind.

The [Eye of the Divine Realm (Red)] Affix shattered with a crack on the panel!

The red fragments began to flow across the panel,

moving toward the [Mangekyō Sharingan (Purple)] Affix.

When the red Affix fragments touched the Sharingan Affix,

Yuzhen felt it...

He knew what his Dojutsu was!
