Naruto: The Fall of the Uchiha - Chapter 24
“Do you want to know how to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan?”
“Do you want to possess the godlike power of Susanoo?”
With Uchiha Jin’s words full of enthusiasm, the Uchiha clan members below the stage and the elders on the platform were all shaken.
The former was passionate about such great power, something no Uchiha could refuse.
The latter, however, felt a mix of excitement and fear. Though only some elders were as knowledgeable about the Mangekyo as Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna, they understood from the clan’s records that awakening the Mangekyo could bring unimaginable disaster to the Uchiha.
Otherwise, why would any clan be foolish enough to seal such crucial information, especially one that revered power and strength like the Uchiha?
At this moment…
Even the Uchiha ninjas without activated Sharingan couldn’t help but show a hint of red in their eyes. Everyone eagerly looked at the dashing figure ahead, awaiting a divine revelation.
“Go and fight, fight!”
Jin’s passionate roar caused the Uchiha members below to boil with excitement while the elders on the platform, after a moment of shock, breathed a sigh of relief. Only Shisui, with a complicated expression, bit his lip.
“Fight with all you have, challenge your limits!”
“Use everything to experience and absorb the essence of each battle. Hone your abilities to their peak.”
“Then you will have the qualification to bathe in the trial of life and death, and gain the possibility of awakening the ‘God’s power’ of the Uchiha clan!”
At this moment, Jin seemed to return to his clan’s training ground, fully embodying the powerful presence of the Uchiha chief instructor.
Silence!
With Jin’s powerful words, the venue fell into an eerie silence!
Every Uchiha’s mind echoed with Jin’s resonant words.
After a moment!
Jin slowly scanned the crowd, and as his gaze swept over them, each Uchiha’s face lit up with excitement.
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
“With the humblest dream, to the sobs and roars in the darkness, who says only those in the light are heroes…”
Uh… ahem!
Feeling the Uchiha’s passionate response, Jin was momentarily dazed, but the short lyrics again moved the Uchiha present!
“Fight!”
“Fight!”
“With the humblest dream, to the sobs and roars in the darkness, who says only those in the light are heroes…”
Feeling things might get out of hand, Jin quickly turned to Uchiha Suzaku, wearing a red and white referee uniform.
Yes!
Someone he trained was reliable, having already collected Uchiha Munakata’s remains and returned to the stage.
“Next match, Jounin group, Uchiha Tekka, Uchiha Tonan, step up!”
Shroom! Shroom!
Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!
Uchiha Style: Dance of the Sword Flame!
As two figures materialized on the stage, dazzling flames spread across it again…
While the battle on stage was intense, the Uchiha below watched with wide Sharingan, absorbing experience. The clan leader and elder simultaneously approached Jin from behind.
“Jin, is this your plan?”
Fugaku’s expression was complicated as he looked at Jin.
Clearly.
The sudden death of a three-tomoe Uchiha elite and the emergence of another Mangekyo Sharingan left Fugaku deeply shaken.
If Fugaku had realized this earlier, he would have stopped Jin without hesitation. The resulting consequences left him unsure of his feelings.
The Uchiha gained another Mangekyo, which benefited the clan, even if Shisui was inclined towards the Hokage.
If only Shisui weren’t so naive and foolish!
Even Fugaku, with his limited political skills, couldn’t believe his clan members would be as idiotic as Shisui.
Another aspect that shocked both Fugaku and Setsuna was…
Jin!
He’s at Kage level!
Indeed!
Though Jin often underestimated Fugaku and Setsuna’s political naivety, their other skills were top-notch.
Shisui quickly noticed the changes in Jin, and Fugaku, an earlier Mangekyo wielder, couldn’t miss it either.
Moreover!
Fugaku’s Mangekyo was…
While Setsuna hadn’t awakened those eyes, his synchronicity with his old rival allowed him to discover the same.
Both regretted Jin hadn’t awakened his Mangekyo, but sensing his transformed chakra and ocular power, they confirmed he had reached Kage level.
The death of Uchiha Munakata, a member of the three-tomoe elite, led to the emergence of a Mangekyo Sharingan and a new Kage-level warrior.
As the clan leader, Fugaku’s feelings were complex, finally understanding Jin’s scheme.
It’s all about bonds!
Using the Sharingan to gain experience rapidly was just the surface. Jin’s true goal was to strengthen bonds through continuous battles.
The effects of these bonds… were evident in Jin!
Recognizing this, Fugaku and Setsuna felt a chill, realizing Jin’s ‘destroy and rebuild’ mantra wasn’t just talk.
This was preparation for fighting all of Konoha…
Setsuna’s eyes gleamed with fanaticism, and he felt an unexpected thrill. Even as the ‘radical leader,’ he had never considered opposing the village!
But…
Jin’s plan was a bold strategy!
Since the start of this tournament, Fugaku and Setsuna had no way to stop it.
Fugaku sighs and looks at Setsuna. The two old rivals exchange smiles, a fierce fighting spirit igniting within them.
Yet.
What should have been a touching reconciliation scene looked eerie and terrifying to Shisui and Itachi on the platform!
Was the clan leader compromising?
