Chapter 509

"Who is it!?"

Mirror, who was still a bit dazed, instantly jolted upon hearing the low and sexy male baritone by his ear, quickly rolling back to put some distance between them.

"This is..."

Just as he stood firm, he discovered what had appeared in his arms, his eyes full of surprise.

The Tailed Beast Knight's Driver and Tailed Beast Cards?

Where did Teacher go?

"Little Shamon, holding that thing, do you also want to be a Knight?"

Just as Uchiha Mirror was completely baffled, the strange voice from before rang out again. He hurriedly shielded the Driver and Tailed Beast Cards behind him, his eyes flashing with a soul-captivating red glow.

"Decade? Why are you here?"

Soon, he locked onto the source of the voice. Having met Decade before, Uchiha Mirror immediately recognized the other party's identity.

Before the doubt in his eyes could dissipate, his gaze shifted downward and he discovered Senju Tobirama lying at Decade's feet, his pupils shrinking violently.

"Teacher!"

From the perspective of his Sharingan, the teacher on the ground was already devoid of life, so the third person present had a major suspicion of committing the crime.

"What did you do to Teacher?"

"Do I have any reason to make a move? I'm just passing by~"

Uchiha Gin shrugged, squatted down, reached out, and poked the already stiff corpse of the Senju Tobirama clone, his voice tinged with a bit of inexplicable sighing.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ What a pity. I thought I could witness the inheritance of the Knight spirit. Now it seems that being a Knight is still a high-risk profession."

"If I could..."

Uchiha Mirror widened his eyes. The cruel reality made it hard for him to accept for a moment, and he couldn't stop muttering to himself.

As he spoke, an extremely cold aura instantly rose, successfully attracting Uchiha Gin's attention.

No way?

Is Mirror about to awaken now?

Watching the three tomoe spinning rapidly in the unfocused eyes of Uchiha Mirror, Uchiha Gin looked at the corpse of the clone at his feet with slight surprise.

He didn't expect Mirror to be so sentimental and righteous; the death of a white-haired guy was enough to make him awaken the Mangekyo.

"Ahhh!!!"

Just as Uchiha Gin was sighing, a miserable scream came from Uchiha Mirror, who was covering his face.

The next second, the pupil power condensed in Uchiha Mirror's eyes finally broke through the shackles. The three spinning tomoe successfully sublimated, gradually sticking together, and finally turned into a strange, gorgeous pattern.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Gin felt sour. Why were everyone else's patterns so good-looking, while his Mangekyo was so perfunctory? He wanted to report it to the Pure Land and find the Sage of Six Paths to seek justice.

"This power..."

After years of accumulation, Mirror finally blossomed and promoted to Mangekyo, but he wasn't happy at all.

Just as the clan records stated, the birth of every pair of Mangekyo meant a cruel sacrifice.

Teacher's death facilitated this pair of Mangekyo for him, but it still couldn't change the reality that Teacher had died in battle.

"If I had awakened earlier, Teacher might not have died..."

Feelings of extreme self-blame filled his chest. Uchiha Mirror couldn't help but shed two lines of blood and tears from his eyes, which, combined with the bewitching patterns in his eyes, had an inexplicable, tragic beauty.

This made Uchiha Gin feel even more sour inside.

From now on, whoever dared to show off their Mangekyo in front of him, he would serve them with pepper spray.

"Clap clap clap~"

"Alright, save the tears for the memorial service. Where is Uchiha Madara?"

Looking at the depressed Mirror, Uchiha Gin clapped his hands, reminding him to cherish those who were still alive.

Uchiha Mirror, who had pulled himself out of his grief, jolted. Uchiha Madara's life or death was still unknown; how could he immerse himself in grief and stand still?

"Hokage... Uncle! Uncle is over there!"

Pointing in a direction in the distance, Uchiha Gin immediately locked on with his super-strong perception, but the result of the investigation made his brow wrinkle slightly.

Nothing.

There was no aura of Cousin in that direction.

"Nothing really happened, right?"

Uchiha Gin's heart tightened. He took a leap and galloped in the direction Mirror pointed.

Uchiha Mirror watched Decade's retreating back, frowning as he recalled the other party's style of doing things.

Regarding the mysterious Decade, each village had very little intelligence on him, but from his style, it could be inferred that besides being interested in battles between Knights, he didn't care about other things.

Unable to think of any ulterior motives the other party might have, Mirror quickly collected Senju Tobirama's corpse on the ground with care, and after finishing, chased after Decade's figure.

Ahead, the closer Uchiha Gin got to Uchiha Madara's battlefield, the heavier his heart became. Along the way, one familiar aura after another gradually appeared on his perception radar.

One-Tail, Two-Tails, Three-Tails...

Except for the Five-Tails and Six-Tails, this small area actually had the remaining chakra of the other seven Tailed Beasts.

If what Senju Senju Feizhen said was true, then Cousin likely faced the siege of seven alien Knights alone.

Besides that, there were some strange chakras. Because he had no impression of them, Uchiha Gin marked them first, planning to investigate them thoroughly after returning.

"Yi? Sister Wang, why are you shaking?"

Just as Uchiha Gin was recording the strange chakras, the Driver at his waist suddenly let out a restlessness. He immediately lowered his head in confusion.

"... Ate too many oranges."

In the belt, the expressionless Kaguya Wangliang forcibly steadied her trembling body and replied coldly, though a faint, complex look flashed in her pure white eyes.

The strange chakra Uchiha Gin recorded was all too familiar to Kaguya; its owner was none other than Otsutsuki Isshiki, who had been backstabbed by her back then.

It was just unexpected that in only a thousand years, Isshiki, who had only half a breath left, had actually recovered most of his strength.

"Oh my~ Brother, I haven't retired yet, don't you go and die early!"

After finishing the recording, the anxious Uchiha Gin immediately accelerated, his figure swaying, leaving only a residual image in place.

Successfully landing, the battlefield was indeed a mess. The destruction caused by various types of attacks was countless, and the methods basically matched the attributes of the Tailed Beasts, which confirmed Uchiha Gin's previous guess.

"Where did the people go?"

However, after a search with his super-strong perception, he actually gained nothing. Not to mention living people, he didn't even find a corpse.

"Fly for me!"

After finding nothing, Uchiha Gin, who didn't believe in evil, raised his hand and began to search for the Flying Thunder God mark he had left on Uchiha Madara. But after a few minutes, he had searched the area within a hundred miles, and he didn't find Cousin's mark.

"Something's not right."

Lowering his hand with a heavy face, Uchiha Gin's brow furrowed into a 'chuan' shape. Unless someone used Yin-Yang Release level methods to erase his Flying Thunder God mark, that mark would absolutely not disappear.

Could it be that Cousin encountered a Six Paths level enemy?

But Uchiha Gin racked his brains and couldn't find any information about similar enemies in the original work.

"Sigh, for now, let's confirm Cousin's life or death first."

Since he couldn't find Cousin's whereabouts, Uchiha Gin settled for the next best thing and decided to confirm whether Uchiha Madara was alive or dead.

After saying that, he reached into his storage space, fumbled around, and took out a long-sealed scroll.

"Blood Samples of Konoha Residents"

"Rustle~"

After pulling it open, Uchiha Gin quickly locked onto Cousin's name from the dense list of names.

"Release!"

"... Poof~"

Looking at the slightly delayed Summoning Technique, Uchiha Gin frowned imperceptibly. He had discovered the abnormality of space power from the moment he stepped onto the battlefield; the flow was so slow it was as if it were thawing.

"Sure enough, just like that white-haired guy said, the enemy has the ability to seal space power."

However, Uchiha Gin couldn't care about thinking about these things now. He placed a tube of scarlet liquid on the ground, skillfully formed a few seals, and then slammed his hands onto the ground.

"Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation."

Tadpole-like incantations quickly spread, surrounding the tube of blood in the middle, and finally combined into a complex formation.

Uchiha Gin stared with his eyes wide open, nervously waiting for the result.

"Rustle rustle rustle rustle..."

Fortunately, the gray dust of the Pure Land in his memory did not appear. The Impure World Reincarnation technique was forced to interrupt because it couldn't find the soul of the blood's owner, and the formation dimmed and disappeared.

"Good, good, as long as he's alive."

Finally putting his hanging heart back into his stomach, Uchiha Gin stepped forward and took back the blood sample.

"Tap!"

Just as he turned around, Uchiha Mirror's figure landed behind him. Finding the surroundings empty as well, his face was instantly filled with anxiety.

"Where is Uncle?"

"As you can see, not even a hair was left here."

Because he had confirmed that Cousin's life was not in danger, Uchiha Gin, who had let out a sigh of relief, was no longer as nervous as before, and immediately shrugged and replied.

"But this can be considered good news. At least Uchiha Madara isn't lying on a board like that white-haired guy."

"Try saying that one more time!?"

Hearing Uchiha Gin actually ridicule Senju Tobirama, who had "died in battle," even the good-tempered Mirror couldn't hold back the anger in his heart. The bewitching patterns in his eyes turned slightly, and pure pupil power leaked out.

"Oh?"

Seeing this, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow. He was actually a bit interested in Mirror's Mangekyo ability. There were only a few named Mangekyo in the original work, and he quite wanted to see something different.

"Could it be that you want me to give him a 'Shortest Active Service Knight Award'?"

As he spoke, he hooked his finger at Mirror, almost writing the word 'provocation' on his face.

"You are not allowed to insult Teacher!"

Under the double blow of his mentor dying in battle and his uncle's life or death being unknown, Uchiha Mirror's long-repressed emotions finally erupted. The patterns in his eyes turned violently, and the surrounding air stagnated.

Out of respect, the eyes behind Uchiha Gin's mask also quietly turned scarlet. The pupils, dotted with three tomoe, watched Mirror's every move.

Uchiha Mirror widened his eyes, and two trails of blood flowed from his fragile eyeballs under the impact of the pupil power.

"Makatsumi."

As he coldly spat out a strange name, a smooth mirror suddenly condensed out of thin air in front of Uchiha Mirror, and Uchiha Gin's figure happened to be reflected in it.

"This is?"

Looking at the reflection in the mirror, Uchiha Gin felt a sense of inexplicable meaning.

The next second, something unexpected happened. The reflection in the mirror actually tilted its neck. Seeing this, Uchiha Gin was startled.

"Is it haunted?"

Just as he was speaking, the reflection in the mirror actually took a step, and walked out of the mirror vividly, standing beside Uchiha Mirror.

"..."

The scene instantly fell into silence. A few seconds later, Uchiha Gin scratched his head with a strange expression, looking at Uchiha Mirror with eyes full of disappointment.

You loser, I let you awaken a pupil technique, and you gave me a Water Mirror Technique?

A pure waste of resources. If I had known, I would have interrupted you just now, saving you from being embarrassed later.

"Are you too scared to speak?"

Looking at the silent Decade, Uchiha Mirror shook his head, inflated.

"I have a 'mmp' I don't know if I should say or not."

Hearing this, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but roll his eyes. Why were all the people in the family like this? After awakening the Mangekyo, they became arrogant and didn't recognize anyone.

"Go!"

As if hearing the disdain in Uchiha Gin's words, Uchiha Mirror waved his hand, and the Decade born from the mirror instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Swish~"

The next second, a sharp fist appeared in front of Uchiha Gin.

"Oh? Seems the restoration is quite high~"

Feeling the powerful fist wind, Uchiha Gin put away his contempt and raised his hand to block the other party's attack.

"Boom!"

After steadily bracing for the attack, Uchiha Gin kicked the other party in the chest, kicking the fake Decade flying several meters away.

"Eh?"

The strange feeling from his chest made his expression change slightly, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"You don't think my pupil technique is just simply copying the enemy, do you?"

Uchiha Gin turned his head, looking at Mirror with a bit of inquiry.

"My Makatsumi can not only replicate the enemy's abilities one-to-one, but also return double the damage caused by the enemy."

Retracting his previous statement, Mirror's pupil technique was actually okay.

"Very good ability."

Patting the non-existent dust on his chest, Uchiha Gin gave Mirror a very high evaluation. The Uchiha family had finally produced a relatively insidious pupil technique, which could be considered bringing honor to his ancestors.

Like every Uchiha, even Mirror, who was honest and simple, couldn't escape the dark history of being lost in the power of the Mangekyo.

"Hmph, still talking tough. Lament your unfortunate fate of not having a Sharingan!"

At this moment, he acted like a normal Uchiha, full of evil charm, which made Uchiha Gin's fists itch. He kicked his feet, turned into a bolt of lightning, and swept toward the Decade copied in the mirror.

"Don't waste your effort. Unless you can withstand double the rebound damage, you are absolutely no match for it..."

"Crack~"

Accompanied by a crisp breaking sound, Mirror, who was talking incessantly, was instantly muted. His eyes widened, almost slapping himself to verify if he had fallen into a genjutsu.

"Just this? Just this?"

Uchiha Gin, playing with the copy's head, was full of mockery in his words.

The moment he fought the Decade that appeared in the mirror, he discovered that the other party was just a blank copy, incomparable to him with full god-tier equipment. He was played to pieces after getting slightly serious.

"Give it back to you~"

Raising his hand to throw the head in his hand over, fortunately, this kind of copy had no flesh and blood, so the scene wasn't that disgusting.

"How is it possible? Genjutsu, it must be genjutsu!"

Looking at the head rolling toward him, Uchiha Mirror fell into deep self-doubt. The scarlet in his eyes gradually faded, and the remains of the copy also disappeared.

After checking the homework, Uchiha Gin sensed the arrival of a large number of auras in the distance, so he didn't stay any longer and turned to step into the Realm of Shadows.

A moment later, the dark crowd landed one after another. Uchiha Izuna, who was in the lead, looked at the only living person in the audience, and his already tightly locked brow knotted into a lump.

"Mirror! Where did Big Brother go?"

"Lord Izuna, I just woke up too."

Mirror, who had experienced a major blow, was a bit scattered in spirit. In a trance, he saw the familiar long white hair in the crowd, and thick grief instantly surged into his heart.

"I'm sorry, Miss Senju Feizhen, I will take care of you for Teacher for the rest of my life." (End of chapter)
