Descendants of the Mangekyō; Naruto, You Are Invited

Early in the morning, Uchiha Makoto was running across the rooftops.

His expression was rather complicated, unable to conceal the exhaustion and delight on his face.

In less than a day yesterday, his chakra had nearly doubled. He had been so excited that he had not felt the slightest bit sleepy all night.

Combined with the assistance of the ocular technique in his left eye, Ōmuchi Tenjin: Control, Uchiha Makoto had developed a strange feeling—his chakra was becoming increasingly as easy to command as his own limbs.

In truth, because everyone had a different talent for controlling chakra, there was always more or less waste when using ninjutsu.

Now that he had gained astonishing chakra control through this ocular technique, his strength had undergone a qualitative leap. It had not only effectively increased his chakra reserves, but also enhanced the power of his ninjutsu.

"The system's bloodline enhancement is seriously strong! My chakra has already doubled!"

As direct descendants of Indra, the Uchiha Clan had never lacked chakra to begin with.

In the original story, Kakashi had been shocked when he first met Sasuke to learn that, at twelve years old, he had enough chakra to use the Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu. In reality, Sasuke had been able to use it when he was six.

Kakashi, who was often teased as a unit of measurement, actually had quite a lot of chakra. It was just that the people around him and the opponents he faced were far too monstrous.

And with this Sharingan advancement, Makoto had already joined the ranks of those "monsters."

How could he not be excited?

"Morning, Makoto!"

The one greeting him was a young man in his twenties, not yet thirty, carrying a toddler in his arms.

Uchiha Xuan! Uchiha Kagami's son!

And the child in his arms was none other than Uchiha "Future," who would one day become famous throughout the ninja world.

"Morning, Xuan!"

What a pity his leg is crippled. I wonder if there'll be a way to heal it in the future.

Uchiha Makoto's gaze fell upon little Shisui, who was sucking on his fingers. Smiling, he said, "Whose baby is this? He's so cute!"

He raised a hand and ruffled the child's hair. Little Shisui played along, breaking into a satisfied grin.

Uchiha Xuan also smiled. "Looks like Shisui really likes you. So, have you thought about when you'll have one yourself?"

"What, did those old geezers send you here just for this?"

Uchiha Xuan's face showed surprise.

Compared to before, the man in front of him seemed to have changed a great deal. They had only been apart for half a day, yet he somehow felt completely different.

Seeing Uchiha Xuan's puzzled expression, Makoto glanced at the system panel and thought, Be immersed in the Mangekyō's illusion!

If things were still the same as before, then wouldn't this cheat of mine have been activated for nothing?

"I still had to say what needed saying. Makoto, you're the most sought-after bachelor in the entire clan now that you have a Mangekyō!

"The clan elders are pressing hard, so you should seriously think about what to do. Otherwise, they'll annoy you to death later on.

"I even suspect they've already prepared blind dates for you. The moment you nod, they'll send them over!"

Heh, those old geezers who even competed over records for graduating early!

And now they wanted to interfere in his affairs and test him too?

It seemed the clan dividends were paying out too much!

They had actually come looking for trouble with him!

"Don't take it to heart. A Mangekyō like you getting married is a major matter for the Uchiha."

Uchiha Makoto neither agreed nor disagreed. In the ninja world, strength was what mattered in the end.

Did the elders from Madara Uchiha's era not want Madara to leave behind descendants?

Even if some people suspected certain things about Madara Uchiha and Senju Hashirama, they would never have dared to gossip in front of Madara.

Makoto's situation was the same. So long as his power could suppress the entire clan, then no matter what those elders wanted to do, they would be unable to accomplish it. At most, they could send a fly to buzz around a few times, just like now.

Just then, a flustered figure darted between the two of them.

"Ah! I'm going to be late! Please move aside!"

Uchiha Obito, the second Sage of Six Paths.

His strength had been lacking in the beginning, and he had often been mocked. Fortunately, he had the company of a goddess. The goddess liked a rich second-generation kid—Kakashi. Then Obito awakened divine eyes, opened a personal dimension, met an old man who passed down his powers—Madara—and even possessed a top-tier divine artifact that required gathering nine fragments before it could be fully activated—the Ten-Tails. Uchiha Obito truly had not missed a single element of an old-school power-fantasy novel.

The Mangekyō was an eye that reflected the soul. Its power originated from what one's heart desired most under extreme emotion.

But Obito was somewhat unusual. He had already erupted with similar power before Rin died. Otherwise, he would have been crushed to death by that boulder long ago.

"Xuan, what do you think of that kid?"

Uchiha Xuan frowned slightly at the question.

"He has decent talent. In the future, he has hope of becoming an elite jōnin. But his grandfather, Uchiha Naka, was the instigator of the Yomi Naraku Conflict. He'll definitely suffer for that in the future."

"I think this boy has the makings of a Mangekyō."

Uchiha Xuan froze, then turned to meet Uchiha Makoto's meaningful gaze.

"Have you heard about him, Hatake Kakashi, and another girl?"

Thinking of the plot from the original story, Uchiha Makoto spoke casually.

He was born with the constitution of a Mangekyō!

Didn't they want to control the Mangekyō? No need to fight for one—I'll give it to you! But would you dare to take it?

Still, to be fair, whose family didn't have a Mangekyō?

Take the clan head's line, for example.

As the head of the Uchiha Clan, that line had originally belonged to Madara Uchiha's branch. But Madara had never married, much less left behind any children.

Madara's siblings had not left behind descendants either, and the branch they belonged to had been wiped out by the two brothers.

The current clan head's line was already the branch closest to Madara's main line. Back in Fugaku's grandfather Uchiha Baru's day, Baru had unexpectedly awakened the Mangekyō and seized the position of clan head.

Makoto's bloodline was no worse, either. His second great-uncle, Uchiha Rai, also possessed a Mangekyō. The chief elder's cousin was even Uchiha Chiri! Otherwise, he would have died long ago when he assassinated the Second Hokage. How could he possibly have lived until now?

Ignoring Uchiha Xuan's awkward expression, Uchiha Makoto gently rocked Shisui in his arms and asked unhurriedly, "What is the village saying about the harassment of our businesses?

"The Third Hokage and the advisors have been discussing it for quite some time."

Uchiha Xuan turned his head away without saying anything.

"Forget it. Over the next few months, you'll handle the disposal of all those businesses, Xuan!"

"...Me?"

Hearing that, Uchiha Xuan immediately looked as though he were asking, "Are you kidding me?"

"That's right, you! I don't trust anyone else with it, so I'm leaving this matter to you!"

The corners of Uchiha Makoto's lips curled upward, his delight impossible to conceal.

Uchiha Xuan could only agree with a bitter face. Seriously, he should never have come. Now he had gotten himself into a mess.

Whoosh!

An Anbu wearing a ninja flak jacket and a mask appeared before them.

"Uchiha Makoto, report to the Hokage Building immediately!"
