Chapter 28

Members of the Uchiha clan must witness the death of their dearest loved one before their Sharingan can evolve into a Mangekyo Sharingan,

they must see their most beloved person die before their eyes,

in order to become a Mangekyo Sharingan user,

this has long been a truth!!!

But the scene before him completely shattered Obito Uchiha's understanding.

He could never have imagined,

why Madara Uchiha had not killed any of his own kin,

nor lost anything at all,

yet still achieved the Mangekyo Sharingan!!!

Could all the things he had known all these years be wrong?

Black Zetsu, standing beside him, was even more frantic inside,

as the content of this comparison livestream continued to play,

more and more secrets of this ninja world began to be revealed.

The correct way for the Uchiha clan to evolve their Sharingan

was never to kill their closest kin,

and the reason it had become this way now

was that the true mastermind behind it all was Black Zetsu!!!!

It was he who altered the Uchiha clan's records,

misleading the Uchiha clan for all these years!!!!

The descendants of Asura and the descendants of Indra were completely different,

the descendants of Asura,

over hundreds or even thousands of years,

might never produce a single person with Wood Release!!!

But the descendants of Indra,

had more than one person awaken the Sharingan,

and many could even awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan,

this was not the outcome Black Zetsu wanted!!!

If the entire Uchiha clan grew too powerful,

Black Zetsu would no longer be able to manipulate everything from behind the scenes as he did now.

Black Zetsu's attitude toward the comparison livestream system was now deeply conflicted,

on one hand, he hoped the comparison livestream system would grow strong enough,

so that perhaps he could answer a question correctly himself,

and thus fully liberate his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki!!

He would no longer need the help of Obito Uchiha or Madara Uchiha!!!

But on the other hand, he feared the comparison livestream might expose some of his secrets,

once the identity of the mastermind behind it all was revealed to everyone,

Black Zetsu did not believe he would survive it!!!

Black Zetsu did not believe he would come to any good end!!!

"Hmph… Hashirama… you won't leave me behind."

"I've caught up to your level now!!!"

Young Madara grinned with confident arrogance.

But after hearing this,

young Hashirama merely shook his head gently and sighed.

Then his figure vanished from young Madara's sight.

Immediately after, his figure vanished from young Madara's line of sight.

Young Madara widened his eyes, roaring furiously inside.

He never expected that even after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan,

he still couldn't see young Hashirama's movements.

Before young Madara could react,

he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen,

a force beyond resistance flung him flying.

"Good… Madara… it seems you've finally kept pace with my reaction speed."

"That way, I won't worry about accidentally killing you with too much force…"

Young Hashirama reappeared before Madara,

grinning as he spoke.

Instant kill!!!!

It was an instant kill!!

Lying on the ground, Madara Uchiha

could not accept this outcome—his proud heart refused it!!.

His proud heart could not accept such an outcome!!

25. Madara: Hashirama, I will strive to keep up with your steps!

This was the first time young Madara had realized it.

His world, as he saw it, could be so clear.

He could see every tiny speck of dust floating in the air.

But what he felt most acutely was his own body.

Previously, under the pressure of young Hashirama's aura,

he hadn't been able to move even his fingers.

Now…

He clenched his fists.

Young Madara smiled with excitement.

And all of this seemed to stem from the power of his Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Is this… the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan?"

"It seems the family records were correct."

"The Mangekyo Sharingan and the ordinary Sharingan are not even on the same level…"

"Right now… I could easily defeat my former self."

"Even my father… probably couldn't defeat me as easily as before."

Young Madara felt immense power surging from within his body,

and a look of intoxication and satisfaction appeared on his face.

【Fourth Raikage: The Uchiha clan… are all this monstrous? … His expression makes it hard not to misinterpret something.】

【Tobirama Senju: Hmph… This evil clan, anything they do is perfectly reasonable… Their eyes have always been ill-omened.】

【Hashirama Senju: That doesn't make sense… Madara… I remember when you first awakened your Mangekyo Sharingan, it was far more difficult than this… It didn't seem this easy…】

【Madara Uchiha: Yes… When my brother and I awakened our Mangekyo Sharingan, it was because each of us had killed the most important friend in our family… Only by sacrificing someone closest to you can an Uchiha awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan…】

【Terumi Mei: …It seems the Uchiha clan should have come to the Hidden Mist Village instead—this is very similar to our old Blood Mist policy.】

【Naruto Uzumaki: So disgusting… You have to kill someone closest to you just to gain this power? If it were me, I'd rather die than inherit such power—it's too evil, too dark…】

【Kushina Uzumaki: My good son, Naruto… It seems that even though we weren't beside you all these years, you still grew up healthy. I'm proud of you for thinking this way.】

【Minato Namikaze: Naruto, you're right… This way of gaining power is too dark—it's not the right path.】

【Orochimaru: Heh… But the Uchiha in this scene didn't kill anyone and still awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. It seems the Uchiha's method of awakening it isn't limited to what their records claim… They may have been misled by their own family's records.】

【Tobirama Senju: Impressive, young successor! Are you Hashirama's student? To deduce so much from such brief information—leaving Konoha's future in your hands, I'm at ease!】

【Hiruzen Sarutobi: …】
