Yes, I Only Just Awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan

Everyone looked at Uchiha En, their hearts heavy with emotion.

The boy had lost his home and family on Clan Massacre Night. Now he stood at the edge of the ruins, his face streaked with tears and his whole body trembling.

He looked like an ordinary child crushed by fate.

The other Uchiha Clan survivors saw him like this, and grief suddenly welled up in their hearts too.

They remembered their dead loved ones and their ruined homes.

For a moment, muffled sobs filled the ruins.

"Ah..."

Someone sighed.

"That poor boy..."

"Surviving at all was a blessing in the midst of tragedy."

But Shimura Danzō frowned.

He had no interest in this display of grief.

All he wanted to know was what the Masked Man had meant by "resurrection."

If there really was a way to bring back the dead...

Then Konoha had to control it. He, Shimura Danzō, had to control it.

"Enough."

Danzo's icy voice cut through everyone's thoughts.

"This is no time to cry."

He looked at Obito Uchiha, his gaze dark.

"You said... there's a way to bring the dead back?"

"Go on."

Obito narrowed his eyes and was about to speak.

Just then, something changed.

"Hm?"

Uchiha En's body jerked.

His eyes, still brimming with tears, underwent a strange transformation.

Each pupil split in two, then began spinning wildly.

Black and white, yin and yang, intertwined to form a Taiji Pattern.

A terrifying surge of Chakra erupted from him!

Whoosh—!

A fierce wind sprang up!

Broken stones and dust rose from the ruins and scattered in every direction!

The sudden storm of Chakra forced everyone back a step.

"What?!"

"That's..."

"The M-Mangekyō Sharingan?!"

An Uchiha Survivor stared wide-eyed and pointed a trembling finger at Uchiha En, his voice rising in shock.

"The Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"Uchiha En... awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

The entire crowd fell silent.

Every gaze snapped toward Uchiha En.

Toward his eyes.

They had completely changed.

His black pupils were gone, replaced by a slowly rotating Taiji Pattern.

Black and white, yin and yang.

They seemed to hold a power too profound to fathom.

"That's... the Mangekyō Sharingan?!"

"Is it real?!"

"Someone in the Uchiha Clan awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan... now?!"

The ninjas from the other clans drew sharp breaths.

They had heard the legends of the Uchiha Clan.

Extreme emotional trauma—the loss of family, the death of a loved one before their eyes, pain too great to bear—could awaken the Sharingan in an Uchiha.

And he had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

It was far more fearsome than an ordinary Sharingan.

Every pair of Mangekyō Sharingan possessed an extraordinary special ability.

"The legends were true..."

A middle-aged ninja murmured, "Under extreme trauma, an Uchiha really can awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan..."

"Those eyes... are proof."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Uchiha En's Mangekyō Sharingan, and his heart sank.

Another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.

Why did the Uchiha Clan keep producing geniuses like this?

Uchiha Itachi was already enough. Now Uchiha En too?

His gaze flicked between Uchiha En and Uchiha Itachi, his expression turning grim.

The moment Shimura Danzō saw Uchiha En's Mangekyō Sharingan, his eyes narrowed.

His gaze filled with darkness and greed. He knew all too well how fearsome the Mangekyō Sharingan could be.

His right eye was Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Its ability, Kotoamatsukami, could rewrite anyone's will. It was his greatest trump card.

And now...

Another pair had appeared.

A sinister smile tugged at Danzo's lips.

I have to get those eyes.

The Uchiha Survivors, however, were overjoyed.

They had already given up hope.

Uchiha Itachi had killed most of the clan's ninjas.

The Uchiha Clan had seemed destined to become a weak clan, helpless against anyone who came for them.

But against all odds...

Another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan had appeared!

"Heaven... Heaven hasn't abandoned the Uchiha Clan!"

"Hahaha! The Uchiha won't die out!"

"Uchiha En! Well done!"

The Uchiha Survivors were so moved that tears filled their eyes.

Uchiha Yashiro, the last surviving Elder, wept with joy, tears streaming down his aged face.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said it three times, his voice choked with emotion.

"Heaven hasn't abandoned the Uchiha... The Uchiha Clan... still has hope!"

Uchiha Fugaku looked at Uchiha En and his newly awakened Mangekyō Sharingan, his feelings tangled.

As head of the Uchiha Clan, he had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan long ago.

It had awakened on the battlefield, when he watched a dear friend die before his eyes.

But he had never dared use it.

Every use would hasten the loss of his sight until he eventually went blind.

He had chosen to hide it, to endure, to cling to survival.

Now Uchiha En had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan too.

Whether that was a blessing or a curse for the Uchiha Clan, he could not say.

"Ah..."

Fugaku sighed softly, bitterness filling his eyes.

Nearby, Uchiha Mikoto did not look at Uchiha En. Her gaze remained fixed on Sasuke in Fugaku's arms.

Her son was dead. She did not care about the Mangekyō Sharingan or the Uchiha Clan's future. All she cared about was whether her son could be brought back.

"Sasuke..."

Tears slipped silently down Mikoto's cheeks, her voice hoarse.

"Mom... Mom will bring you back. I promise..."

Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha En and the Taiji Pattern in his Mangekyō Sharingan, startled.

That useless fool... awakened the Mangekyō?

I suppose he has some worth after all.

Itachi looked away and paid him no more attention.

Only one thing mattered to him now: bringing Sasuke back.

Obito Uchiha was just as surprised to see Uchiha En awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Well, well..."

He marveled to himself.

Who would have thought?

Even with the Uchiha Clan on the brink, another member has awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

It seems heaven won't let the Uchiha Clan die out.

His original plan had been to bring the Uchiha Clan close to extinction and weaken Konoha.

But he could not let the clan disappear entirely. The Uchiha Clan... was still useful.

Now that Uchiha En had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he could serve as a pawn in Obito's future plans.

Obito's gaze lingered on Uchiha En for a moment before turning to Uchiha Itachi.

He lowered his voice so only Itachi could hear. "Come with me. We're leaving."
