Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan

[Ding! Fusing Six Paths Power,]

[Fusion successful!]

BOOM!

A terrifying force instantly permeated Uchiha Gray's entire body.

Unlike the first time he fused the Two-Tomoe Sharingan, this immense power erupted outward in an instant.

Uchiha Gray's body radiated a terrifying, eerie, and ominous aura.

It made Gray look like a demon god!

His pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun frantically, finally transforming into a Nine-Pointed Star Mangekyou Sharingan!

Along the edges of the Nine-Pointed Star Mangekyou Sharingan, extended lines spread out, tracing mysterious arcs.

Scarlet blood flowed from his eyes!

"Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Uchiha Gray had still underestimated the might of the Six Paths Power.

Because the strand of Six Paths Power absorbed by the system was minuscule and extremely weak, he had only expected to be satisfied if he could promote his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to a Mangekyou Sharingan.

He never expected that the power of this sliver of Six Paths energy would be so terrifying, directly evolving his Three-Tomoe Sharingan into an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!

While a Sage Body could ensure that a Mangekyou would not go blind, it did not inherently increase the ocular power of the Mangekyou Sharingan itself.

Undoubtedly, the ocular power of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan could crush a standard Mangekyou Sharingan in every aspect.

The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan allowed for the infinite use of Susanoo and other Sharingan abilities.

In contrast, a regular Mangekyou Sharingan faced the problems of physical decay and eventual blindness.

Comparing the two, the difference was clear!

"What now, Demon Fox?"

The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in the depths of Uchiha Gray's eyes. His gaze was icy, like that of a god, coldly staring down the Nine-Tails.

It was as if he were looking at a mere beast!

To him, the current Nine-Tails was nothing more than a plaything he could control at any moment.

"How is this possible? You are only a child, yet you possess the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

The Nine-Tails roared in disbelief, his entire body trembling.

He tucked his nine tails between his legs.

He was terrified!

His pupils constricted violently. "No, that's not right. This isn't a Mangekyou Sharingan, it's an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan—the same eyes as Uchiha Madara."

"I can feel the terrifying power and the ominous nature within your eyes!"

"But I will not submit to..."

Before the Nine-Tails could finish, Uchiha Gray let out a cold snort. He had no time to chat with the Nine-Tails.

Submission was best, but if it wouldn't submit, he would beat it into submission!

His Mangekyou Sharingan flashed with a sinister light, instantly seizing control of the Nine-Tails. Even though the Nine-Tails retained his consciousness, he could only watch as he slowly knelt down, bowing his head in surrender!

"Nine-Tails, you don't seem to realize the situation. I was never asking for your opinion. If you don't agree, I will kill you!"

The Nine-Tails' pupils shrank.

The brat before him was truly capable of such a thing.

But why was this brat so terrifying? He was only eight or nine years old, yet he possessed the same eyes as Uchiha Madara!

These were the Eye of World Destruction, possessing the power to destroy the world!

What kind of monster was this kid? Could he be the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths!?

The next moment, his body was released from control; Uchiha Gray had given him a chance to speak.

The Nine-Tails' fearful gaze darted between Uchiha Gray and Uzumaki Naruto. He was making a final struggle. "You cannot kill me. If you kill me, this brat will die too!"

The Nine-Tails gritted his teeth; this was his final trump card.

He never imagined that as the most powerful Tailed Beast, he would eventually have to rely on a shared life with a brat to survive!

And the one who caused all of this was this seemingly harmless Uchiha clan brat!

"Heh."

Uchiha Gray's expression turned icy in an instant. "I've kept you alive only because you're convenient to use."

"Since you're courting death, then go ahead and die. I only need to collect your remaining chakra, and I can condense another Nine-Tails!"

"Once that happens, your consciousness will vanish completely, and you will never be able to regenerate. Doesn't Namikaze Minato have the other half of you? I will wipe that out as well and inject all the chakra into Naruto's body!"

Uchiha Gray's voice was icy, as if he were a terrifying god of slaughter.

He could not be bothered to haggle with the Nine-Tails.

To him, the Nine-Tails was nothing more than a slightly powerful life form.

If it was an eyesore, he would simply kill it.

"How could you do such a thing?"

The Nine-Tails' eyes were filled with terror.

His entire body trembled.

He dared not utter a single word of defiance.

The brat from the Uchiha clan before him was nothing short of a devil!

To think he could actually do such a thing.

And when he spoke those words, he showed no mercy; he was even more terrifying than Uchiha Madara!

Just as the Nine-Tails was about to submit, Uzumaki Naruto suddenly spoke up, looking at Uchiha Gray earnestly: "Brother Gray, thank you, but please spare him. I will earn his recognition through my own strength!"

Uzumaki Naruto's azure eyes were filled with determination and sincerity.

Although he was no longer under the control of the Sage of Six Paths, he still retained his kindness. Since the Nine-Tails had not done anything to him, he held no hatred toward the beast.

Uchiha Gray feigned contemplation, his favor for Uzumaki Naruto increasing significantly in his heart.

After all, he needed an Uzumaki Naruto who knew how to be grateful and hated evil. If, after helping him, Naruto had shown no gratitude and instead become an evil ninja, then their bond would have ended there.

It seemed the test had been a success.

Uchiha Gray's gaze shifted, glancing at the Nine-Tails inadvertently, and it seemed the Nine-Tails had already developed some goodwill toward Uzumaki Naruto.

Uchiha Gray feigned helplessness and said, "I really can't do anything with you. Since that's the case, I'll spare the Nine-Tails' life for now."

Uchiha Gray looked at the Nine-Tails with a cold gaze.

"I don't care whether or not you provide Nine-Tails chakra to Naruto later, but if you dare to absorb Naruto's life force, I will make sure you don't live to see the next sunrise!"

Pressing the advantage to make Uzumaki Naruto even more grateful was, of course, a step that could not be missed.

Uchiha Gray's warning to the Nine-Tails made Uzumaki Naruto's eyes grow even more trusting and grateful.

Brother Gray is truly looking out for me!

"I understand." The Nine-Tails lowered his proud head, looking at Uzumaki Naruto with a flicker of gratitude in his eyes.

But it vanished the next moment, returning to his usual calm.

The two withdrew from the mental world.

The Nine-Tails looked at the empty mental world and couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems the ninja world is about to change. A man as powerful as Uchiha Madara has appeared, yet he is even more iron-fisted and unyielding."

"However, Uzumaki Naruto... he's not a bad sanctuary. If I had really tried to escape, I might have truly been killed by that Uchiha brat!"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at himself in the mirror, filled with resolve and looking quite handsome!

Although he didn't know why he had changed into this appearance, there was no doubt it was thanks to Uchiha Gray's help.

Moreover, he could feel a powerful force surging within his body!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of wind being broken rang out!

Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared instantly, his eyes cold and vigilant as he looked at Uchiha Gray.

The Uchiha clan possessed the Sharingan, which could control the Nine-Tails.

Furthermore, Uchiha Gray's behavior today was highly abnormal.

To the point that everything Uchiha Gray had said previously had lost all credibility.

"Uchiha Gray, why are you here!"

In an instant, over a dozen Anbu ninjas surrounded Uchiha Gray.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was cold as ice!
