Naruto: The Fall of the Uchiha - Chapter 20
“What is that?!”
Amid the explosion’s shockwave, Uchiha Shana swayed like seaweed, initially shocked by how extreme the fight had become. But now, he couldn’t analyze the cause and effect.
Compared to what was before him, nothing else could shake the great elder of the Uchiha clan more.
“M-Mangekyo Sharingan!”
Uchiha Shana trembled, pointing at the hazy figure standing amidst the explosion’s smoke, exclaiming in disbelief.
“What?”
“Mangekyo Sharingan!!!”
Uchiha Fugaku and the other elders joined in astonishment following Shana’s outcry.
Below the platform, many Uchiha members witnessed the terrifying scene. Hearing Shana’s quivering exclamation, they struggled to contain their excitement.
“The legendary next form after the three-tomoe Sharingan, our Uchiha’s ultimate power!”
“Uchiha Madara himself had such eyes!”
“The power of the gods!”
Today, they learned that the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan was real, confirming the rumors from the clan training grounds.
Uchiha Madara’s ultimate strength!
Even those who had never seen Uchiha Madara in his prime knew the tales of their elder.
Madara was a towering figure in the shinobi world, second only to the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju.
Despite Madara abandoning the clan, the Uchiha still revered him as the ultimate goal, embodying their pride in strength.
And today!
Before them, they stood a fifty-meter-tall green half-giant, untouched by the surrounding flames, every Uchiha eye brimming with desire and admiration.
Shisui Uchiha, hands in the tiger seal, stared down at the platform with a complex expression within the giant’s chest.
Below lay a broken body, stripped of any remnants of the Flame Demon’s former grandeur, lifeless.
However, Uchiha Munakata’s corpse had an eerie, long-dead stillness.
Of course!
No one cared about that now…
Even Shisui, trained in the Anbu, was overwhelmed by the scene, ignoring this insignificant detail.
Uchiha Munakata is such a strong man who will die to take him down!
He, Shisui, the one genuinely striving for peace between the clan and the village, had given his all, yet this was his reward.
What is a saint? And why mention chaos?
Why?
Why!
Why!!!
Countless thoughts flooded Shisui’s mind, the intense mental strain causing his Mangekyo Sharingan to spin wildly.
Roar!
The green half-giant soared again, its solidified chakra surging out, forming bones, flesh, and tendons from the waist up…
Finally.
The green giant donned a chakra armor, a spiral-shaped great sword in its right hand.
Thus.
The majestic Susanoo, emanating apocalyptic energy, appeared before all the Uchiha.
“This is the legendary power of the gods.”
On the platform, Uchiha Itachi was excited, mesmerized by Susanoo’s unmatched strength and the potential for clan-village peace.
In his scarlet eyes.
Beyond any ninja’s imagination, this blindingly bright power held the key to peace…
“Susanoo, this is Susanoo!”
“Only an Uchiha with the Mangekyo Sharingan can use this ultimate ocular jutsu.”
“Look! Shisui has manifested his eye power into a guardian deity, with absolute defense and unmatched offense.”
“Uchiha Madara fought the First Hokage’s Wood Release at the Valley of the End with Susanoo.”
“This is the Uchiha’s godly power. Every enemy who saw it on the battlefield perished.”
Shana trembled, pointed at Shisui’s Susanoo, and shouted excitedly to the clan as if reliving the Uchiha’s golden age.
Ultimate power, the final ocular jutsu, the power of the gods…
These words buzzed in the Uchiha’s minds.
However, Shisui on the platform cared little for their reactions. His mind, filled with questions, finally realized who could provide answers.
Crack!
The green Susanoo turned its head, its fiery green eyes locking onto someone below the platform.
There.
Shisui stood, his clothes billowing in Susanoo’s presence. Susanoo responded to Shisui’s questioning gaze with an indifferent look.
“Why?”
Shisui’s mighty eye power and mental will crushed him, and his heart filled with uncontrollable anger.
Not because he realized Shisui wanted him dead. That was expected.
But what had Munakata done wrong?
Having witnessed many similar tragedies in Anbu and Root, this shouldn’t have been Munakata’s end.
Such exquisite Fire Release!
Such mastery of Uchiha swordsmanship!
He earned great merit in the Third Shinobi World War!
Shisui had come to respect the Flame Demon, a worthy ninja, through their intense clash.
However, this respectable figure died meaninglessly due to Shisui’s selfish agenda.
How could Shisui accept this?
However, Shisui’s silent yet furious accusation did not change his indifferent expression, and a fleeting hint of regret crossed his face.
Was he regretting Munakata’s death? Or that he couldn’t kill Shisui, too?
Before Shisui could ponder further, a cold reply accompanied his retreating mental will.
“The turkeys on the farm are meant to die on Thanksgiving!”
What?
Shisui tried to grasp the meaning, but the next moment, his attention was drawn back to Shisui.
There!
Shisui’s familiar mocking smile remained, but his Sharingan…
Now… spinning wildly!
