Mangekyo Sharingan

When Uchiha Yato's parents died, he awakened the Sharingan.

When Uchiha Kagami died, he awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.

When Uchiha Michiko died, it meant he no longer had any family left.

A tiger without restraints was the most terrifying, and Uchiha Yato was exactly that kind of person at this moment.

Just then, the First Elder said, "Besides that, there is also the matter of custody for Michiko's son—Shisui."

Hearing that question, Uchiha Yato's previously dead heart began to beat once more.

Not only had he heard a familiar name, but he also realized that he still had family in this world...

Uchiha Yato immediately said, "So, First Elder, you wish to take custody of Shisui?"

The First Elder let out a helpless sigh. "This old man would like to, but before Michiko died, she privately told me something when Kagami was on his deathbed."

"If she were to die for no reason, then Yato was to raise Shisui."

As he spoke, the old man seemed to have all his strength drained away.

By blood, he should have been more closely related to Shisui.

Yet his daughter had chosen Uchiha Yato.

Looking at the sorrowful scene, Uchiha Kei, the clan head, said, "That is why we need to understand this clearly."

His expression turned extremely stern as he said, "Uchiha Yato, are you prepared to raise Shisui?"

As he spoke, even the usually gentle Uchiha Kei wore a grave expression.

This was no simple question. It concerned a child's future. As the head of the Uchiha Clan, he had to take this stance.

Hearing the clan head's question, Uchiha Yato answered without hesitation, "From today onward, Uchiha Shisui is my, Uchiha Yato's, own little brother. I will not allow anyone to bully him."

"Whoever bullies Uchiha Shisui, I'll take their life!"

Yato did not hold back as he spoke. The three tomoe in his eyes gradually transformed into the shape of gears.

He revealed his Mangekyo Sharingan to the Uchiha gathered there.

This was not merely a display—it was also a warning.

The sight instantly shocked Uchiha Kei and the other elders.

The Third Elder exclaimed excitedly, "That's the Mangekyo!"

"That is our Uchiha Clan's Mangekyo Sharingan!!"

As he spoke, he involuntarily leaned forward, wanting a clearer look at those eyes.

The elders were from an older generation. They were all advanced in age and had seen the Mangekyo Sharingan before—the Sharingan of the previous Uchiha Clan head, Madara Uchiha.

The elders understood better than anyone what those eyes represented.

That was why the Third Elder was so excited. It meant that the Uchiha Clan once again possessed reliable strength.

Then the First Elder asked, "Yato, when did you awaken the Mangekyo?"

He immediately added anxiously, "The Mangekyo Sharingan cannot be used carelessly. It drains your ocular power, and if you use it too much, you'll go blind. You haven't been using it recklessly, have you?"

At that moment, the First Elder was not merely the Uchiha Clan's First Elder.

He was also Uchiha Yato's elder, showing concern for his junior.

In response to that concern,

Uchiha Yato answered, "No. I never understood the meaning of these eyes. I was just too emotional a moment ago."

Hearing this, the First Elder immediately said, "All ninja other than the elders and the clan head—"

"Leave at once, and every last one of you had better keep your mouths shut."

The Uchiha Clan was fairly united internally, mainly because Uchiha Yato had always dealt harshly even with his own clansmen.

They truly feared that someone who disliked him might leak the matter. After all, this concerned an issue of great importance to the clan.

And none of the Uchiha jonin present were fools. Naturally, they understood the gravity of the situation.

As for the current clan head, Uchiha Kei, he did not know much about the Mangekyo Sharingan either. He had only heard the elders speak of it.

Only after everyone had left did the First Elder speak. "When the Mangekyo Sharingan awakens, it gains an ocular technique."

"As I said earlier, using that technique comes at a cost. Use it too much, and you will lose your sight."

The Second Elder added, "Every ocular technique is different, so you must remember that the Mangekyo cannot be activated carelessly."

Having calmed down from his earlier excitement, the Third Elder echoed, "Yes, yes, yes. And it can also activate Susanoo."

"All of these consume ocular power. You're still young, so don't use them recklessly."

Then the First Elder added, "Do not tell anyone about your ocular technique, including us."

"This is your own secret. Don't let more people find out!"

Everyone understood perfectly well. When one held a precious treasure, how could one afford to have no safeguards?

Listening to their explanations, Uchiha Kei also came to understand the Mangekyo's unique nature and how difficult it was to obtain.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Yato could only pretend to know nothing and put on an eager, humble appearance.

It had to be said that Yato's face, combined with his studious demeanor, truly delighted these elders.

Soon afterward, the clan meeting came to an end.

Uchiha Yato returned home. Now, Yato was the only one left in this house.

Since Yato spent much of his time away taking missions, he did not return often. Shisui was still staying at the First Elder's home.

Seeing how much the First Elder adored Shisui, Yato felt too embarrassed to bring Shisui home right away.

After all, Yato still had important matters to handle and was not suited to having attachments. It would not be too late to visit the First Elder's home once he was done.

After washing up a little, the first thing he did was bring Uchiha Michiko's body home.

Looking at a family member who had once been so familiar, now separated from him by life and death,

Uchiha Yato felt an indescribable pain in his heart.

So, for his own peace of mind, he had to find the murderer.

If it had been a ninja from another country, then he would make a trip out of the village and ensure that country paid a price.

When Nawaki had been blown to death by the Land of Lightning, Orochimaru had dared to go to the Land of Lightning and release the Eight-Tails, causing a disaster.

"As long as I confirm which country did this."

"If you don't lose a layer of skin, I'll write the word Uchiha backward."

The other possibility was more troublesome.

In the society where Uchiha Yato had originally lived, there was a so-called Pot Shadow in Konoha.

If he had to speculate on who the murderer was, Danzo Shimura was undoubtedly a highly likely suspect.

The reasons could be summarized in three points. First, Danzo Shimura had always coveted the position of Fourth Hokage, but Uchiha Yato's shout on the Land of Rain battlefield had exposed his ambitions and intentions.

As a result, his reputation had been severely damaged, making it extremely difficult for him to become a Kage-level figure. (Here, Kage-level refers to status, not strength.)

Second, Danzo Shimura harbored resentment toward Uchiha Yato. Unable to make a move against him directly, he had chosen to start with Uchiha Michiko and take revenge in this way.

The final point, and the most important one, was that Uchiha Michiko's body was missing its Sharingan.

As a transmigrator, Yato knew from reading Naruto in his previous life that Danzo Shimura possessed an entire arm full of Sharingan.

From that perspective, it seemed perfectly reasonable that he had begun collecting Sharingan from this point onward.

Taking all three factors together, Danzo Shimura was indeed highly suspected of committing the crime.

Uchiha Yato did not possess professional medical knowledge.

So, he had to use a cheat.

"System, I want to exchange emotion points for an Injury Diagnostic Scanner."

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, Host. You have successfully exchanged for an Injury Diagnostic Scanner. 5,000 emotion points deducted."

"Remaining emotion points: 100."

Just then, a dazzling white flash flickered, followed by a small, exquisite mysterious device embroidered with heart patterns appearing in Uchiha Yato's hand.

The device looked extremely delicate, making one wonder what exactly it was.

Uchiha Yato carefully examined the little device and discovered several words engraved upon it: "Injury Diagnostic Scanner (Naruto Revised Edition)."

It might have been some sort of high-tech product that could help him understand Uchiha Michiko's injuries.

He immediately opened the instruction manual, eager to learn more about the device.

The manual detailed the device's functions and uses.

It turned out that this Injury Diagnostic Scanner was a technological product from a higher plane. It could conduct a comprehensive scan of the body and precisely analyze the cause and outcome of injuries.

Without the slightest hesitation, Uchiha Yato immediately picked up the miraculous device and began scanning Uchiha Michiko's body.

He stared tensely at the data on its screen, hoping to obtain accurate information about her injuries.

As the device emitted a faint hum, it began working rapidly, as if searching for something.

Soon, information appeared on the Injury Diagnostic Scanner.

"Confirmed status: deceased."

"Cause of death: blast injuries."

"Cause of injuries: blast injuries, toxin infection."

"The toxin originated from a parasitic poisonous insect. After infiltrating the body, the insect continuously absorbs chakra, causing the host to weaken."

Seeing the written report, Uchiha Yato immediately understood who had done it.

"Pot Shadow!"

"Pot Shadow!!"

"As expected of you! Even at this time, you were able to poach a ninja of this caliber from the Aburame Clan."

"Just you wait!"
