Famous Double Standards, You're Not Wrong

Upon seeing Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Gray did not show the slightest hint of panic.

He offered a gentle smile, looking at Fugaku Uchiha with a calm expression.

"Lord Clan Head, I have done nothing wrong."

"If I had to do it all over again, I would still make the same choice."

Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan was indeed impressive, but it was merely impressive. Compared to an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, what could it possibly amount to?

In an instant, Uchiha Gray understood Fugaku Uchiha's intentions.

Fugaku Uchiha knew he possessed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, so he wanted to reveal his Mangekyou Sharingan to force him into submission.

Uchiha Gray's expression remained as calm as ever.

It was as if he hadn't even seen the Mangekyou Sharingan in the other man's eyes.

Fugaku Uchiha suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Why was Uchiha Gray so calm?

Moreover, there was a faint, lingering smile on his lips, as if he had known about these eyes all along.

Could it be that Uchiha Gray had already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan?

That was impossible!

Fugaku Uchiha's thoughts raced, and he shook his head slightly.

These eyes could only be unlocked through the death of one's closest kin.

Uchiha Gray was only nine years old and had never experienced such a tragic parting.

How could he possibly have awakened these cursed eyes?

"The only thing you did wrong was not being thorough enough; you should have finished off Gekko Hayate in a place where no one could see!"

Fugaku Uchiha said in a deep voice.

However, seeing that Uchiha Gray was not surprised by his Mangekyou Sharingan, nor did he even ask about it, he couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.

Suddenly, a sense of awkwardness permeated the air.

To be precise, Fugaku Uchiha felt a bit embarrassed.

He had intended to show off, but what could he do when Uchiha Gray wouldn't give him the opening?

Uchiha Gray found it amusing.

Fugaku Uchiha had taken the initiative to speak; the younger generation was becoming harder to manage, having their own ideas and refusing to take the lead.

"Gray, do you know? These eyes of mine are the Mangekyou Sharingan, possessing the power to destroy a nation. This is why I have the confidence to rebel against the village!"

Uchiha Gray looked at Fugaku Uchiha with a smile.

He blinked with an innocent expression.

"So, these eyes are called the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head helplessly.

What did he mean by "so these eyes are called the Mangekyou Sharingan"? It sounded as if he had one too.

This was the Mangekyou Sharingan, not some common trinket found on the street.

"Then, I suppose these eyes of mine are also the Mangekyou Sharingan, Lord Clan Head."

Uchiha Gray chuckled.

In an instant, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan appeared in his eyes, flickering with an eerie, bewitching light.

It was even more powerful than Fugaku Uchiha's ocular power!

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"How is this possible? You are only nine years old this year."

Furthermore, based on Fugaku Uchiha's perception, Uchiha Gray's Mangekyou Sharingan was far more powerful than his own.

The moment Uchiha Gray's Mangekyou Sharingan appeared, he felt his own being suppressed!

This meant that Uchiha Gray's Mangekyou Sharingan was superior to his own!

It was terrifying.

What was he doing when he was eight or nine years old?

At that time, he had barely just graduated as a Chunin.

Back then, he had already been called a prodigy by his father.

But he never expected this.

The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead.

The new generation replaces the old.

Uchiha Gray was only nine years old, yet he already possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan; what a terrifying talent that was.

Could it be that Uchiha Gray would become the second Uchiha Madara?

After a brief moment of shock, Fugaku Uchiha's expression immediately turned fervent.

"Shisui, you, and I—our Uchiha clan now has three Mangekyou Sharingan users."

"Even back in the day, Uchiha Madara and Izuna Uchiha only had two Mangekyou Sharingan between them."

Fugaku Uchiha was brimming with excitement. "Three Mangekyou Sharingan. Our Uchiha clan can absolutely rule the Leaf!"

This was the pride etched into Fugaku Uchiha's bones, as well as his absolute self-confidence.

He had already tested the power of the Susanoo.

It could completely crush his own self if he didn't use the Susanoo.

In particular, the Mangekyou Sharingan also possessed these two ocular techniques.

They had greatly enhanced his strength.

It could be said that possessing the Mangekyou Sharingan meant one had successfully stepped into the ranks of Kage-level powerhouses.

Because for the Uchiha clan, spiritual energy was the best means to increase one's strength.

The stronger the spiritual energy, the greater the enhancement to one's physical constitution.

Fugaku Uchiha patted Uchiha Gray on the shoulder, looking very pleased. "You were right!"

"If you possessed our Uchiha clan's Mangekyou Sharingan and still acted so cowardly, you would be no better than trash."

???

So, if you don't have the Mangekyou Sharingan, you should be timid and keep a low profile.

But if you have the Mangekyou Sharingan, you should act like you're the only one who matters—and I'm not wrong?

Fugaku Uchiha was a famously double-standard man.

However, Uchiha Gray agreed with what Fugaku Uchiha had said.

If one already possessed the strength of a Kage-level powerhouse, yet still acted timidly when facing a mere Jonin, then what was the point of having such true strength?

It would be better to just die.

Wasn't having great strength meant for being able to do as one pleased?

"Very good, Gray. Go and rest for now. Leave this matter to me. Whether it's Sarutobi Hiruzen or Danzo Shimura, neither of them will be able to touch a single hair on your head."

"The entire Uchiha clan is your strong backing."

Fugaku Uchiha looked full of domineering spirit!

Looking at Uchiha Gray, the more he saw, the more satisfied he became.

Uchiha Gray bowed and retreated.

Fugaku Uchiha was actually a very complex person.

In the original story, he played the role of a powerhouse who was unwilling to fall behind and wanted to become the Hokage.

But after all his clansmen were killed by Uchiha Itachi, he realized that even a successful coup against the village would not be able to revitalize the Uchiha clan.

Therefore, when facing his most prized son, he chose to surrender without a fight.

He abandoned his ambitions of many years.

Fugaku Uchiha might not have been a good clan leader, but he was definitely a good father.

Returning to his residence, he had just opened the door.

Uzuki Yugao's worried eyes looked over, and she watched Uchiha Gray nervously.

"How was it? Did he give you a hard time?"

According to rumors, Fugaku Uchiha was a powerful and arrogant ninja who wouldn't even back down when facing the Third Hokage!

"It's nothing."

Uchiha Gray said with a smile.

Not only was it nothing, but Fugaku Uchiha had also displayed an extremely confident, domineering air.

Be timid with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, strike hard with a Mangekyou Sharingan.

It was just like a certain character in a novel.

Before level 90: I beg for my father's forgiveness.

After level 90: My father is never wrong!

This was a world where strength was respected.

Strength meant everything.

Now that he had his own Mangekyou Sharingan, even if something were to happen to Shisui, Fugaku Uchiha would likely not stop his plans for a coup!

"Fugaku Uchiha, you sure are a double-standard prick, but I like it!"
