Naruto: The Fall of the Uchiha - Chapter 21
[Ding detected the death of an Uchiha clan member!]
[Congratulations, a host has obtained: Three-Tomoe Sharingan *1, Uchiha-Style Swordsmanship Mastery LV5, Uchiha-Style Genjutsu Mastery LV4, Uchiha-Style Fire Release Mastery LV5, Uchiha Elite Jonin Chakra…]
At the moment of Uchiha Munakata’s death, Uchiha Jin thoroughly plundered the power of this Uchiha elite Jonin through the system’s ability.
Uchiha Jin was prepared for this. As soon as the system notification rang in his mind, he decisively issued the command to the system.
Fusion!
While the enormous Susanoo stood impressively, with all eyes admiring its might, no one noticed the intense changes within Uchiha Jin’s body.
Two pairs of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, two pairs of Two-Tomoe Sharingan…
Combined with the chakra of six Uchiha shinobi, all were perfectly fused by the system’s power.
Satisfaction! Power!
An unparalleled sense of fulfillment and strength filled Uchiha Jin’s mind. It was an indescribable feeling of completeness and warmth as if his bloodline’s ‘defects’ were gradually being repaired.
The most direct change was the boiling power in his Sharingan, both in quantity and quality, rapidly transforming, fiercely breaking through toward the legendary bottleneck.
This feeling was something Uchiha Jin had noticed when he first fused a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, a strange sensation of his bloodline being perfected. He was convinced that as long as he fused enough Sharingan…
Whether it was the Mangekyo, the Eternal Mangekyo, or even the terrifying Rinnegan, they were no longer distant dreams.
Of course!
The current Uchiha clan needed to be increased as a resource to reach such heights.
What a pity…
Uchiha Shisui was still alive!
But this was within Uchiha Jin’s expectations. After all, ‘Shisui of the Body Flicker’ was not renowned for nothing, and Mangekyo’s power was beyond imagination.
If a mere suicide attacker could take down Shisui, Uchiha Jin wouldn’t have needed to be so cautious all these years.
As for Munakata!
He was a pawn with a deep grudge. A year ago at the banquet, Munakata had almost awakened the Mangekyo out of rage and grief over his son’s death. Sadly, he couldn’t break through that final barrier.
Though Munakata didn’t add a pair of Mangekyo to Uchiha Jin’s arsenal, he became a pawn carrying the hatred of his son’s death.
Here, special thanks go to ‘Kettle Shadow’ Danzo Shimura. Whenever the Uchiha blamed him, they always believed it sincerely. It wasn’t entirely fabricated. Without Danzo’s involvement, the death of Munakata’s son would have been strange.
A simple escort mission should not have led to the death of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan Uchiha elite Jonin. Considering Danzo’s wrapped bandages, the hidden truth was evident.
“Rest assured, I will fulfill my promise,” Uchiha Jin thought silently.
Though losing such a useful pawn was unfortunate, it wasn’t profoundly regretful. After all, while the ‘Flame Demon’ Munakata had fallen, his power now resided with Jin.
Such a pity…
Even after fusing all the Sharingan in his system space, the Mangekyo awakening still…
Failed!
After experiencing an uncontrollable surge of power, Uchiha Jin felt his Sharingan returning to normal, though now containing a vastly enhanced power hidden deep within, preparing for the next breakthrough.
“Hoo…”
Within Susanoo’s protection, Uchiha Shisui exhaled a breath of relief. He couldn’t imagine the chaos Uchiha Jin’s Mangekyo awakening would bring, the evil jutsu that could emerge, and the impact on village and clan peace.
Luckily, fate still favored the village, preventing Jin from awakening the Mangekyo.
However…
This transformation added to Shisui’s confusion. Having endured the pain of awakening the Mangekyo, he knew only a profound loss could trigger this cursed power.
Yet, Munakata was sent by Jin to kill him, and he was destined to die. How could a suicide attacker’s death nearly trigger the Mangekyo?
The contradictory feelings left Shisui deeply troubled. Enveloped in Susanoo’s strength, he felt like a mosquito trapped in a web, struggling helplessly.
His mind was overloaded!
Uchiha Jin watched Shisui quietly, unfazed by his Susanoo’s menacing aura.
Failing to awaken the Mangekyo didn’t derail Jin’s plan. Success would have been a bonus, but failure was no loss.
When Shisui revealed his Mangekyo, he had fallen into the death trap Uchiha Jin had woven, sealing his fate.
Uchiha Jin was curious how Shisui, a saint who would drown himself after losing his eyes, would meet his end.
Hmm…
Feeling his now more substantial and more controlled power, Uchiha Jin realized he could better manipulate his mental strength.
With this in mind, Jin’s lips curved into a wicked smile, his eyes mocking as he looked at the enormous Susanoo.
At that exact moment, Shisui, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly felt a highly hidden eye power, carrying a cold mental will, connect with him.
“Munakata was sent by me!”
Jin!
Without needing to think, Shisui’s angry eyes glared at Jin.
Surrounded by countless Uchiha clan members, Jin’s mocking smile deepened, sending another thought through their connection.
Come!
Kill me!
