NOVEL WEB Chapter 36: WISHES
Uchiha Shisui stood quietly, his expression a mixture of contemplation and regret. Felt that his Mangekyō Sharingan had reached a critical juncture, but despite the intense effort, his pupil's power had hit a bottleneck. He had been on the verge of breaking through when the energy suddenly fizzled out, leaving him with a gnawing sense of unfinished business.
Shisui shook his head, a smile forming on his lips despite the lingering frustration. His gamble had paid off, after all. Three Mangekyō Sharingan were now in his possession, and he knew that the fourth would be his once he dealt with Danzo.
"Fortune favors the bold, huh?" Xuanyu remarked, his voice carrying a hint of admiration.
Shisui chuckled lightly at Xuanyu's comment.
Almight, observing the scene with his usual intensity, added, "You are quite ruthless for someone so young, boy."
Xuanyu nodded in agreement but quickly clarified, "Children, especially ninjas, have to learn to become ruthless in his world. Unlike your world, where peace is more reletively common, Shisui's world is one of constant chaos and warfare. To survive, children are forced to become ruthless, to kill and protect themselves from an early age."
Almight's face softened at the explanation, a shadow of sorrow flickering across his expression. He didn't want to imagine a world where children had to take lives to ensure their own survival. The idea was alien to him, where the innocence of youth was still cherished above all else.
Shisui, meanwhile, only gave a sad smile in return. The reality of his world was unforgiving, a place where survival was a daily struggle and death came swiftly. He had long since accepted that his hands would be stained with blood.
Xuanyu, sensing the tension, decided to shift the topic. "So, have you both decided on your wishes?"
Both Almight and Shisui nodded in unison, their minds focused on what they sought most.
Shisui, as always, took the initiative. "I would like to go first, if that's alright," he asked, his voice respectful.
Almight gave a simple nod of approval, while Xuanyu gestured for him to proceed.
"Thank you," Shisui murmured before taking a deep breath. "My wish is to see the original fate and future of my Uchiha clan. I want to know what was truly meant to happen, what path they would have walked after my death."
Xuanyu studied him for a moment before responding, his tone measured, "Do you confirm that your first wish is to see the original fate of the Uchiha Clan?"
Shisui's gaze was unwavering as he nodded firmly. "I do."
Without further hesitation, Xuanyu invoked his skill—Wish. The tablet in front of them glowed, releasing a burst of light. It took form, revealing a hologram of Shisui's past.
The first image that appeared was of Shisui, his body plummeting off a cliff, falling into the turbulent waters below. Standing above him was a shadowy figure, a boy with eyes similar to his own—Mangekyō Sharingan gleaming in the darkness.
The scene shifted rapidly, flashing forward in time. Shisui exhaled softly, relieved as he saw that the Uchiha clan had temporarily called off their plans for a coup. The atmosphere had seemed to calm, if only for a moment.
But that moment of peace shattered when the hologram showed Itachi Uchiha, Shisui's close friend, striking a deal with the ruthless Shimura Danzo. Itachi would kill every last member of the Uchiha clan—every man, woman, and child—and in return, Danzo would shelter his younger brother, Sasuke.
Shisui's fists clenched, his Mangekyō Sharingan activating involuntarily, its swirling patterns reflecting his internal turmoil. His body radiated an intense, murderous aura as he saw Itachi, the man he once called brother, alongside the twisted roots and the Anbu, slaughtering his kin. The massacre was brutal, without mercy, leaving none behind neither old nor infants. It shattered everything Shisui had once believed.
His breath became ragged as the hologram flickered out, leaving a suffocating silence in its wake.
Shisui's heart pounded in his chest, the rage building to an unbearable crescendo. He could feel the blood boil in his veins, his desire for vengeance overwhelming everything else. But as the silence lingered, Xuanyu and Almight remained still, their faces grim. Neither had ever witnessed such a horrifying massacre before, and both were struggling to process what they had just seen.
Almight's hand gripped the edge of the table so tightly his knuckles turned white. Xuanyu, too, was visibly affected. His hands had shifted into dragonic claws, his emotions running wild.
The only ones unaffected were Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong. Both had lived through their own share of atrocities in the past, and while the massacre was tragic, they had become numb to such horrors long ago.
Minutes passed before anyone spoke.
Bibi Dong, ever pragmatic, broke the silence. "Shisui," she said softly, her voice steady, "You should wait for Almight to make his wishes before you make your second one. You need to calm yourself and think carefully about what you wish for next."
Though Shisui wanted nothing more than to rush out and end Itachi and Danzo's lives right then and there, he knew Bibi Dong was right. His anger was clouding his judgment. Reluctantly, he nodded, taking a moment to compose himself.
Sensing the tension in the room, Renxue releasedg a golden aura that enveloped the entire shop. The warmth and serenity it provided slowly began to calm their agitated emotions. Shisui, Almight, and even Xuanyu found their minds clearing.
Renxue's golden aura, like a gentle wave, washed over everyone. It was a palpable force, calming the storm within them. The room felt lighter, and the weight of the tragedy they had witnessed seemed to lift, if only slightly. Renxue's presence alone was enough to bring clarity in such a tense moment.
Retracting back his martial spirits, Xuanyu turned and said," Thank you, Renxue."
Renxue smiled at Xuanyu.
Xuanyu turned towards Almight and said," You wishs, Mr. Almight."
Taking and releasing a deep breath, Almight spoke," My first wish is that, I want to see the future of my student, Izuku Midoriya."
Xuanyu nodded, suddenly he frowned and said," Since your wish is releasted to someone else who is not releated to you by blood, you can only see his future upto a limited period. Do you still wish to continue?"
Almight resolutely nodded.
The tablet glowed once more, projecting a new hologram. It displayed the future of the green-haired boy. His determination and hard work shone through as he faced the challenges of being a hero-in-training. The hologram showed Midoriya's internship, his struggles with controlling his quirk, One For All. It also depicted his encounters with the Hero Killer, Stain, and his eventual confrontation with Tomura Shigaraki in the mall.
The image then flashed to a brutal battle against Muscular, where Midoriya showcased his immense strength and unwavering determination. And finally, it showed Midoriya's and his classmates ignoring orders to save their friend.
But just before the hologram could reveal the Almight's battle against All For One—it faded, leaving behind a bittersweet silence.
Xuanyu spoke with admiration in his voice. "You have a good and hardworking heir, Mr. Almight. He possesses the true attributes of a hero."
Almight smiled faintly, but a heaviness lingered in his heart. His greatest enemy still lived, lurking in the shadows. But now, he had to focus on the present. He would not rest until he had removed the threat of All For One.
Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Almight made his second wish. "I wish for a quirk similar to One For All, something that can amplify my physical strength."
Xuanyu smiled knowingly. "Not going to retire just yet?"
Almight chuckled. "As long as All For One is out there, I'll keep fighting. Now I want to become a multiversal hero, one who can protect not just this world, but all worlds. I'll shout to the multiverse, 'Fear not, citizens, because Allmight is here!'"
Suddenly Renxue spoke,"Hey, since you have chance, why settle for just physical amplification. Why don't you wish for a quirk like whose function is similar to stockpiling of One for All and which can absorb energy and can nourish your body and heal you too. Or something similar. Now you have a chance to design your own quirk. So go for something big."
Xuanyu said," Renxue is right, why settle for just physical amplification.
You can take you time to think and design a quirk which can make you a Multiverse famous hero."
After thinking a bit Almight nodded.
After that, everybody gave little bit of thier advices and helped Almight in designing his new quirk.
After confirming with Almight, Xuanyu completed Almight's second wish.
Almight felt embers of One for All get absored by his new quirk. He felt his strength rising past his prime.
