NOVEL WEB Chapter 186: Chapter 186
"Uchiha Shisui has awakened his Mangekyō?"
Hearing this from Tsunade, Uchiha Shin's eyes flashed with excitement.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Finally, the prodigy of the Uchiha Clan had awakened his true power.
"..."
"Why do you look so happy?" Tsunade asked, frowning.
They were discussing the possibility of Shisui's rebellion, yet Shin looked like he had just won a jackpot.
"Ahem… What can I say… Forget it, leave this to me. I'll handle it."
Uchiha Shin waved his hand dismissively and immediately set off, eager to confront Shisui.
Meanwhile, in the Uchiha district, Shisui was in deep discussion with his father.
"Shisui, are you certain you can stop this war?" his father asked, his brow furrowed with concern.
"Father, with the power of my Mangekyō Sharingan, I am confident I can put an end to this!" Shisui declared, his expression filled with unwavering conviction.
With the awakening of his ultimate eye technique—Kotoamatsukami—Shisui was sure he could prevent the bloodshed. The news of his Mangekyō would soon reach Shin, and once he got close enough, he could use Kotoamatsukami to alter Shin's subconscious, forcing him to stop his conquest.
Having witnessed the horrors of war firsthand, having lost comrades right in front of him, Shisui had no doubt—he would end Shin's ambitions for the sake of the Will of Fire.
His father nodded, deeply moved by his son's determination. Their family had long supported the more peaceful faction of the Uchiha, but when Shin seized power, they were forced into submission.
From the moment Shisui was a child, his father had instilled in him the Will of Fire—the true ideology of their ancestor, Uchiha Kagami.
Right now, only Shisui and one other among the clan still held onto that belief—his cousin, Uchiha Obito.
Now that Shisui had the strength to change everything, his father could hardly contain his hope.
"If you succeed, perhaps we can guide Shin to step down and restore leadership to the rightful daimyo's bloodline…" his father mused, as he always did when speaking of the old days.
But as they spoke, high above their home, Uchiha Shin had already arrived, listening in with an expression of cold amusement.
"An entire family of fools."
He hadn't come with any grand justification—he was simply here to take Shisui's eyes.
At first, he had considered sparing Shisui's family, perhaps even providing them with wealth and comfort after taking their son's power. But hearing their talk of betrayal made it clear—they weren't worth the trouble.
He would grind them to dust.
"Yin-Yang Style: Black Rods."
"Amenotejikara."
With a flick of his wrist, dozens of black rods materialized and instantly teleported toward Shisui's family.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Before they could react, they were impaled—black spikes piercing through their bodies as they collapsed to the ground in shock.
Shisui's father gasped, his expression frozen in disbelief.
"I'm sorry you chose the wrong side, Shisui." Shin's voice was calm, almost pitying. "I'll be taking your eyes now."
Shisui's body tensed. He had never expected Shin to attack so suddenly—his father, his family, murdered in an instant!
His father trembled, his lips moving as if to beg for mercy—
But the black flames of Amaterasu consumed them before he could utter a word.
Whoosh!
The mansion was set ablaze in a sea of unquenchable fire.
Shisui gritted his teeth, feeling his own power being drained as Shin's chakra invaded his body. His Mangekyō Sharingan, his Kotoamatsukami—the power he had prided himself on—was stolen in mere seconds!
"Hahaha!" Shin laughed as his new power surged through him. "With my chakra and Yin Release, the cooldown of Kotoamatsukami is now only ten minutes! If I refine it further, I should be able to use it even faster."
His grin widened.
"Now I can finally bring someone like Orochimaru into my ranks."
As the flames raged, a sudden voice interrupted—
"Brother Shisui!?"
A young boy, no older than twelve, came running toward the burning estate.
He had short, spiky hair and a pair of goggles resting on his forehead—a kid in a sports jacket, staring in horror at the black flames.
The sight of the fire and the lifeless figures within it triggered something deep inside him. His dark pupils spun, shifting into the three-tomoe Sharingan in an instant.
Uchiha Obito's breath hitched.
And then he saw the figure standing amid the flames.
"Uchiha Shin!?" he whispered in shock.
Shin was infamous across the Hidden Leaf and the Land of Fire—every Uchiha knew his name, knew the terror he commanded.
Obito's mind raced, connecting the dots at lightning speed. There was no mistaking it—Shin was responsible for this massacre.
And Shin simply turned to him, his crimson eyes meeting Obito's gaze with eerie calm.
"Three tomoe already?" Shin mused. "Looks like I'll have to give you a little push."
Obito barely had time to react before Shin's eyes pulsed.
"Tsukuyomi."
With a single glance, Obito was yanked into the nightmare world of Shin's illusion.
Inside the Tsukuyomi realm, time stretched indefinitely. As Shin rifled through Obito's memories, a particular image caught his attention.
A young girl.
Nohara Rin.
She was barely more than a schoolgirl in Obito's memories, yet it was clear—this little fool had fallen for her the moment they met.
Shin's lips curled into a smirk.
"Tsk, tsk… If Obito knew how many times Rin has been tutored by me, how many times have walked her home, would he still be so devoted?"
His perverse amusement faded quickly. He had no interest in airing such personal matters.
He had more important things to do.
Outside the illusion, Obito collapsed to his knees, shaking violently.
And Uchiha Shin stood over him, victorious.
"Looks like I'll have a new toy to play with."
