Uchiha Clan's Third Son Takes Fugaku's Eyes

"Luo Uchiha, what do you know?!"

Fugaku Uchiha's eyes reddened as he roared at his youngest son, who had always been obedient but now dared to stand up and curse him.

He had been ready to face death in peace, but after being berated by his youngest son, his Mangekyō had already opened, and the chakra throughout his body was about to surge out of control.

But he could not. He could do nothing.

For Sasuke's sake, he could not let Itachi expend too much energy...

"Shut up? In my condition, the only time I can even open my mouth to curse you is before I die. After all, I can't wield a blade, can't kill your most beloved son, and can't stop you parents from coming to take my life!"

Luo Uchiha cursed a few more times, then decided not to continue.

The system had remained silent the entire time. He could now be certain that simply cursing people would not earn him any achievements.

Looking at those blood-red eyes glaring before him, he thought of another way.

Since Fugaku Uchiha intended to die anyway, he might as well not let this pair of Mangekyō benefit someone else.

So...

"My dear father, let's make a deal.

"You left the chance to live to Sasuke, and gave your lives to Itachi Uchiha, so...

"Give me those Mangekyō Sharingan of yours!

"You gave birth to all three sons. You can't let them have all the good things, can you?

"Ever since I was born, I've been sick for eight years and imprisoned for eight years. Nothing good ever had anything to do with me, and now that you're about to die, you suddenly remember me..."

Luo raised a finger. Because he had been glaring for too long just now, tears kept falling as he spoke.

He stepped closer to Fugaku Uchiha, his small raised hand lightly touching those bizarre Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Fine. I'll give them to you... After all these years, this is the first time you've ever asked us for anything..."

Fugaku Uchiha looked at his youngest son, who would not stop crying, then listened to the sounds outside before slowly closing his eyes.

With a long sigh, he agreed to his youngest son's request.

Before anyone else could react, he grabbed Luo's arm with one hand and used the other to dig out his own eyes.

The pair of eyeballs was placed in that tiny palm. He truly gave away his Mangekyō Sharingan just like that.

Yet as he handed over the Sharingan, Fugaku Uchiha made his first and final move that night.

"Luo, you have the eyes now, but all you'll suffer if you stay alive is pain. You'll only burden Sasuke too. Go on ahead of us."

Fugaku Uchiha's chakra erupted. He did not need to use any ninjutsu; he simply crushed the child before him with chakra pressure, suppressing him to death.

Everything unfolded as he wished. This frail child, who had been sickly from birth and required constant rest, lost all signs of life in an instant beneath that overwhelming chakra pressure.

The child who had struggled to survive ever since his birth died simply, just like that...

"Itachi, do it!"

After personally killing his youngest son, Fugaku Uchiha had nothing but two empty sockets left, but that did not stop him from calmly returning to his previous position.

He extended a hand still stained with blood and intertwined his fingers with Mikoto Uchiha's. The husband and wife were slain together by the blade that swung through them.

System, where's my reward? There had to be a reward just now, right?

Luo lay on the floor playing dead, but he could see everything happening around him.

Just now, when Fugaku Uchiha placed the Sharingan in his palm, Luo had immediately activated fake-death mode.

Fortunately, he had acted quickly enough to avoid being injured.

The pair of Sharingan clenched in his little hand vanished the moment he entered fake-death mode.

[Completed "A Gift from Father": Achievement attained, points +5000]

The achievement reward was issued immediately, and five thousand points arrived in an instant.

But this achievement...

Luo really wanted to complain. So it was merely a gift—it did not matter whether it was Sharingan or not?

And although this identity had been assigned by the system, this body of his, along with those past memories, had all truly happened.

Had this couple never given a single gift to their youngest son, who could die at any moment, from beginning to end?

He complained inwardly, though he only found the whole thing full of things to gripe about. What he cared about now was still the profit.

Though the system was lazy, and its achievement criteria were surprisingly strange, this pair of Sharingan he had acquired still had another use.

[Fugaku Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan: Can be exchanged for 5000 points]

A pair of Mangekyō Sharingan was worth another five thousand points.

That was no small amount to Luo, considering he had only just arrived in this world.

Exchange.

Seeing that the item had no other listed use and could only be traded for points, Luo naturally had no reason to keep it.

If there had been other ways to use it—such as fusing it with himself—his system would have displayed them as long as they existed.

In the system's words, as a lazy system, it could not be bothered to adjust anything, so it was too lazy to play mind games with its host.

[Exchange complete. Host currently has 10,000 points.]

Open the shop.

In fake-death mode, Luo's body could not do anything right now. All he could do was interact with the system.

The system shop opened, and he saw all sorts of items listed inside.

But...

System, work a little harder. Why are all the items from this world currently unavailable?

Looking at the series of daily necessities and cultivation-related auxiliary items, Luo Uchiha felt rather frustrated.

These cultivation items—weren't they from the previous world?

System, had you gotten so lazy that you forgot to unlock this world's purchasing permissions?!

[The host's body was created using body-reconstruction materials purchased in the previous world. Therefore, your body is currently only suited for cultivation. Once the host's body reaches the basic standard of a ninja, purchasing permissions for items from this world will be unlocked.]

The system directly gave him the reason.

The various materials purchased in the cultivation world had naturally been used to create a body according to that world's elements, so at the beginning, he could only follow the path of cultivation or demonic cultivation.

Once his physical condition improved in the future, learning ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu would not be a problem.

Moreover, according to the system's evaluation, ninjutsu and taijutsu were much, much cheaper than cultivation. Even this world's senjutsu was not worth much in its eyes.

But for now, none of that had been unlocked yet. Luo could not see the prices, so he would probably not be thinking about the difference in prices anytime soon.
