Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan

[Item: Mangekyō Sharingan] [Contains massive amounts of chakra energy.]

[Can be refined and absorbed.]

[Can also be fused directly into your own eyes to gain the abilities of the Mangekyō Sharingan.]

[If the host's own ocular power is sufficient, fusing them may awaken an "Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan" exclusive to you.]

[Does the host wish to confirm fusion?]

At this moment, Mu did not hear a word the system said.

His hands, stained with the bloody eyeballs, trembled as he stared ahead.

In the pool of blood, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto were no longer breathing.

Uchiha Itachi stood with a blood-stained blade, tears dripping onto the ground.

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Mu felt a deep, agonizing pain. Despite having lived two lives, his eyes instantly turned red.

A sense of unwillingness welled up from within.

Amidst a wild roar...

He felt a searing, stinging heat in his eyes.

In the next instant,

The eyes that should have held three tomoe seemed to have a pitch-black thread connecting them.

A scarlet period mark emerged in the center of his pupils.

[Ding; due to the host's extreme grief, you have autonomously awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.]

[Ding; detected that the host has obtained two Mangekyō Sharingan. After fusion, the weaknesses of the Mangekyō Sharingan can be removed. Does the host wish to fuse them?]

He did not hesitate for a second.

He mentally confirmed the action.

In the next instant, the bloody eyeballs in Mu's hands vanished.

What followed was excruciating pain in his eye sockets.

It was heart-wrenching.

But at this moment, no one knew that Mu's eyes were undergoing a terrifying transformation.

On his pupils, the three tomoe arranged in a circle gradually grew larger. Inside the large tomoe, a smaller one slowly emerged, eventually enclosed by a pitch-black ring.

He thought it was over, but in the center of that black ring, a blood-colored three-pronged spike was reflected.

At the same time, the system's notification sound rang out again.

[Ding;]

[Congratulations to the host, the power of two Mangekyō Sharingan has been successfully fused.]

[Obtained Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.]

[Eliminated the weakness of blindness and usage restrictions associated with the Sharingan.]

[Left eye ability, Domain of Time; beginner level.]

[Can slow down the flow of time within a certain range around the user.]

[The flow rate and range are related to the amount of chakra output.]

[Right eye ability, Scar of Space; beginner level.]

[A means of folding space; it can shorten spatial distance while also cutting through space. Its offensive power is superior to Kamui.]

[Congratulations to the host, your chakra levels have significantly increased, and your cultivation level has reached Jonin.]

Although Mu heard this series of notifications, he paid them little attention.

He only fixed his gaze on Uchiha Itachi, his eyes filled with piercing murderous intent.

His scarlet eyes stared intently at Itachi.

His gaze was sharp.

The intention to kill Itachi sprouted in his heart.

But Mu knew clearly that Itachi was already a Jonin.

Not only were his combat techniques superior to his own, but he was also more proficient in using the abilities of the Mangekyō.

Killing him in a short time would not be easy.

His eyes narrowed in an instant.

"Itachi, do you know what you are doing!"

"All for that hypocritical Konoha, all for the ambitions of those higher-ups."

At this moment, Itachi wiped away his tears without making a sound.

It was in this tense atmosphere that Sanzuko, returning from school, happened to push the door open.

He could not believe what was before his eyes.

His beloved brother stood there holding a blood-stained longsword.

And his brother, the trash who couldn't practice, knelt on the ground, clutching their mother's corpse.

Seeing this, even a fool would know what had happened.

Yet Sasuke still refused to believe it.

He looked at Itachi.

But he was met with a shuriken that slashed across his arm.

Then, Itachi activated the genjutsu Tsukuyomi, dragging Sasuke into it.

In the illusion, Sasuke saw the entire process of the Uchiha clan being slaughtered.

The heart-wrenching pain caused Sasuke to activate his bloodline, awakening a single-tomoe Sharingan.

But because he was too young, he could not bear the heavy blow and fainted.

Mu, who had been kneeling to the side, stood up at some point. With the same pupils, he looked at Itachi with murderous intent.

Itachi's expression was grave.

He did not know when this younger brother, two years his junior, had awakened eyes even more terrifying than his own.

He activated Tsukuyomi again.

But this time, the powerful Tsukuyomi failed against the younger brother who was supposed to be unable to practice.

A reluctant Itachi increased his chakra output.

But just as it was about to hit Uchiha Mu, a terrifying barrier blocked the assault of Tsukuyomi.

Itachi frowned and spoke, "That is the ability of your eyes."

Mu frowned in response.

"Save it, Itachi. Your genjutsu is ineffective against me."

"If you want to walk out of here, bring out all your strength."

As he spoke, Mu activated the Body Flicker Technique, appearing before Itachi in the blink of an eye.

Itachi did not dodge at all, taking the heavy punch.

Puchi. Blood spilled from his mouth as he retreated ten steps.

He wiped the blood from his lips, and Itachi also used the Body Flicker Technique, punching Mu in the face.

The two brothers traded blow for blow, using no ninjutsu at all.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Until both of them were exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

"Itachi."

"I promised Father I wouldn't kill you, but I can't hold back every time, so get stronger."

"Next time we meet, you won't be so lucky."

"Also, don't overuse your eyes, or you will go blind."

"To eliminate the drawbacks of the eyes, you must gouge out the eyes of your closest kin and fuse them."

"What do you mean?"

Heh.

"You'll understand later."

After saying this, Mu picked up Uchiha Fugaku with his left hand and Uchiha Mikoto with his right, vanishing from the spot in an instant.

This scene left Itachi lost in deep thought.

This was space-time ability. It was no less impressive than the masked man's power.

"Is this my younger brother, Uchiha Mu?"

"He truly had the ability to kill me just now."

"To think he is an expert who hides his strength even better than Father."

Itachi sighed and slowly departed from the compound.

He headed toward the Third Hokage's residence.

Meanwhile, after burying his parents with his own hands, Uchiha Mu arrived at the place where Izumi was sleeping.

He watched the young girl, who dared not move a muscle.

Mu's gaze was sorrowful.

"Izumi,"

"Stop pretending to be asleep once you're awake."

"You are Mu."

"Aren't you unable to practice ninjutsu?"

The beautiful, youthful Izumi immediately asked a series of questions as soon as she woke up.

"Weren't you sent away from the clan by your father?"

"Why have you returned?"

"And why did you save me? What about Itachi?"

Mu's expression remained indifferent.

He did not speak, but seeing Izumi's face flush the moment she mentioned Itachi, he understood.

One could imagine that her love for Itachi was already deeply ingrained in her bones.

Thinking of this, Mu simply sighed and reached into his robe.

He held out a pink card in front of Izumi.

"Take this!"

Uchiha Izumi took the card, her face full of confusion. She was just about to ask what it was!

In the next instant,

The card transformed into a streak of pink light and darted into Izumi's body.

It took only three seconds.

The way Izumi looked at Uchiha Mu was now filled with intense affection.

The Love Transfer Card had taken effect.

Mu,

"Leave quickly. A great tragedy has befallen the Uchiha clan; most of our people have been slaughtered."

"The clan head intentionally sent you away this morning, so why did you suddenly return?"

"Hurry and leave."

Seeing Izumi's desperate plea,

Mu felt a warmth in his heart and pulled her into his arms.

He soothed her softly;

"It's alright, Izumi."

"From this day on, I am no longer that cowardly, incompetent wastrel who cannot practice."

"I will become very strong, a guardian deity by your side. I will not let you suffer the slightest grievance."

Hearing this, Izumi's face flushed instantly. She hugged Uchiha Mu tightly.

At this moment, moonlight shone from the windowsill onto Uchiha Mu's face.

Izumi gazed infatuatedly at the handsome youth before her.

For the first time,

For the first time, Izumi truly examined him.

Never before had she felt that the person in front of her could provide such a sense of security.

Looking at the beautiful, delectable girl before him,

Mu swallowed hard.

He couldn't help but reproach himself internally.

Sigh, it's just a pity I'm still a child.

I really want to grow up quickly and become a man who can hold up the sky.

Good heavens, why am I only twelve?

System, come out quickly. How do I resolve this situation?

I'm only twelve years old!

How can I count as having married Izumi to complete the system mission?

[Ding;]

[Host;]

[As long as the female party has feelings for you,]

[And both sides agree to the marriage, the system will notarize it and bestow the Wedding Matchmaking Ring.]

[Once both parties wear the rings, the marriage is considered complete.]

Oh?

"Is it that user-friendly?"

"It seems this matter is certain to succeed."

After all, with Izumi's current affection for me, it certainly won't be difficult to have her wear the ring.

Izumi is an S-rank beauty!

That's a full 6,000 points of permanent chakra attribute.

Even if the final step isn't completed, I can still get 6,000 as a reward.

After all, the first time a mission is completed, the reward is doubled.

With my progression to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, my own strength has risen to the Jonin level.

Doesn't that mean I have Kage-level combat power at twelve?

Kage-level at twelve.

It seems I am not far from achieving my goal.

At this moment, as Mu looked at Izumi's face, he found her more and more endearing the longer he looked.

A sense of extreme longing even sprouted in his heart.

Of course, it was mostly a longing for strength, for becoming stronger.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Mu no longer hesitated.

He stared intently at the beauty before him.
