In the study room.
Fugaku sat upright, facing his own son, Itachi, the newly appointed temporary captain of the Anbu's sixth team!
“Itachi, you have grown up…” Fugaku sighed before speaking, his face full of emotion.
Itachi remained unmoved, silently waiting for what was to co.
“This ti, there's sothing I need to tell you.” Fugaku’s expression gradually turned serious.
“Father, what is?” Itachi felt a vague sense of unease in his heart.
‘Why would he wait until I beca the temporary captain to tell ? There must be a conspiracy!’
“This matter concerns the Kekkei Genkai of our Uchiha Clan!”
Fugaku said solemnly, “As you know, Sharingan can evolve from one-tomoe to two-tomoe through training, and it can evolve further to the three-tomoe. However, what outsiders don't know is that the three-tomoe… is not the final evolution of the Sharingan!”
“What?” Itachi’s pupils shrank at this.
‘Three-tomoe is not the end of Sharingan’s evolution?’
‘How is it possible?!’
Since evolving his Sharingan to the three-tomoe, he had fantasized about taking it further, but no matter how he trained, the three-tomoe remained the sa!
“Pay close attention!”
Fugaku knew that actions spoke louder than words, so he closed and reopened his eyes. Then, his dark pupils transford into crimson three-tomoe Sharingan. After that, he closed and opened his eyes again, and the three tomoe suddenly underwent a strange transformation.
“This is…” Itachi’s expression changed.
“This is the Sharingan above three-tomoe, known as… the Mangekyo Sharingan!” Fugaku solemnly said.
By now, his three tomoe had completed their transformation, forming a brand-new pattern!
‘Mangekyo Sharingan…’ Various emotions overflowed in Itachi's eyes: surprise, shock, longing, and more.
Fugaku is very satisfied with his son's expression, and said with a smile: “Among the entire Uchiha Clan, only Shisui and I have evolved the Sharingan to the Mangekyo!”
‘Big Brother Shisui also…’
‘I rember now!!’
Suddenly, Itachi's gaze sharpened. He rembered that when he and Shisui helped Sasuke with ‘exterminating the clan’ Genjutsu two years ago, when Shisui used his Sharingan, he strangely narrowed his eyes. At the ti, Itachi didn't think much of it, but now, upon reflection, he felt the chill!
‘Could it be that Big Brother Shisui concealed the existence of Mangekyo from on purpose…’ Itachi frowned, feeling unsettled in his heart.
Fugaku seed to see through his son's thoughts and chuckled: “Are you blaming and Shisui for not telling you about the Mangekyo earlier?”
‘Not only that, I am still wondering why Father told this now. Of course, what I want to know most is…’ Itachi regained his composure, his tone slightly excited as he asked: “Father, please tell how to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan!”
However, Fugaku shook his head decisively: “I can't tell you.”
Because in peace tis, if an Uchiha wanted to awaken Mangekyo Sharingan, they can only start with their relatives and loved ones, which Fugaku absolutely didn't want to see happen.
‘If it were a ti of war, it would be possible to arrange the circumstances, to stage an accident.’
‘Oh dear, I'm getting off track…’ Fugaku shook off his distractions and said: “Itachi, what I want to tell you now, is the huge flaw of the Mangekyo!”
“Flaw?” Itachi’s attention was attracted.
“Once the Mangekyo Sharingan is awakened, its pupil-power becos fixed. Every ti it's used, a portion of that power is lost, and the vision will correspondingly decline, until the pupil-power is exhausted… and both eyes are plunged into darkness!” Fugaku said, “It leads to blindness!”
Itachi’s expression changed: ‘So that's why Big Brother Shisui wore glasses. It’s because his Mangekyo’s pupil-power was constantly being consud… Wait!’
‘Big Brother Shisui indeed wore glasses a few years ago, but I haven’t seen him wearing glasses recently…’
Itachi's expression turned odd: “Father, about Big Brother Shisui’s eyesight…”
“Yes, Shisui has already solved the blindness problem of the Mangekyo Sharingan. “Fugaku said.
“How did he do it? And has Father's flaw of the Mangekyo been solved too? “Itachi asked.
Fugaku shook his head: “This is what I want to tell you.”
Itachi's heart trembled, and he said: “Could it be… it’s related to the Anbu?”
“Yes, the solution to Mangekyo’s blindness is in the hands of Yondai. I think the Anbu will also have corresponding records about this thod, and you…”
Fugaku’s eyes glead, “And you've just been promoted to the Anbu's Captain. Although it is temporary, your authority is real. Itachi, for the sake of the Uchiha Clan, for , I'm really counting on you this ti! Please make sure to find this thod!”
With that said, Fugaku bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle.
“Father…” Itachi’s mood is complex.
Suddenly being inford of the existence of the Mangekyo, the flaw of the Mangekyo, and the thod to solve that flaw, and this thod is within the Anbu.
‘If I help Father, it ans betraying Yondai-sama, but if I don't help, I would be ungrateful to Father's upbringing. And there’s also Big Brother Shisui. Since he already solved the blindness problem, why didn’t he tell Father?’
It's a tangled ss, he’s caught between a rock and a hard place!
Itachi furrowed his brow.
“Itachi.”
Seeing his son hesitated, Fugaku calmly stood up and said, “Sasuke has evolved his Sharingan to two-tomoe a few years ago. With his talent, it is only a matter of ti before he evolved his Sharingan to Mangekyo. So… even if you're not doing it for , please consider Sasuke.”
‘Although saying this was sowhat… ahem, uncomfortable, the fact remained. In Itachi's heart, Sasuke's position was far higher than his own father.’
Fugaku sighed inwardly.
At this ti, Itachi felt deeply troubled.
He now sowhat understood why Shisui had concealed the existence of the Mangekyo from him, because of its flaw of causing blindness!
So if possible, he would rather Sasuke not know about the Mangekyo's existence, ‘But considering Sasuke's talent…’
“I understand.” Itachi nodded with an unpleasant expression, thinking to himself: ‘Do what I can and leave the rest to fate… Let's start with Big Brother Shisui.’
“Then, I’ll leave it to you, Itachi, ganbatte! “Fugaku was very excited, and his lips trembled a little.
If Itachi could really solve the blindness problem of the Mangekyo, then Fugaku would directly ascend to the peak of the Shinobi World!
‘At that ti, I will help Itachi awaken his Mangekyo, haha, then I would have Mangekyo in my left hand – Shisui's Mangekyo, Mangekyo in my right hand – Itachi's Mangekyo, and I myself would have Mangekyo…’
‘The Uchiha clan would beco unprecedentedly powerful!’
‘And then, after staying in Advisor’s position for another five or six years, I would have enough strength, enough prestige, and enough qualifications to compete for the position of the Godai Hokage!’
‘The glory of the Uchiha Clan would be built by alone!’
Fugaku’s chest swelled with excitent!
When he ca back to his senses, he found that Itachi had actually left.
‘Although this son of mine was outstanding, his mind was sotis heavy, but fortunately, his feelings for Sasuke were very deep…’ Fugaku is very relieved.
…
After leaving his ho, Itachi went straight to Shisui’s house.
“Big Brother Shisui? Big Brother Shisui…”
Itachi knocked on the door for a while before suddenly realizing that Shisui was currently stationed at the border of the Land of Hot Water and Land of Fire, so how could he possibly be in the village?
Given Itachi's personality, he would never be so dull under normal circumstances. It can be seen how much shock the information of the Mangekyo had brought him!
“Sigh.”
Itachi sighed deeply and turned away.
