A few days later.
Konoha.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of nurous Shinobi, the Anbu's Headquarters and all nearby residential buildings had finally been rebuilt. As for the losses of furniture and other properties, the village provided subsidies.
Of course, full compensation was completely unrealistic, especially with Fugaku, who held the village's financial reins, being very strict in this area.
Although Fugaku was gravely injured and near death at one point, his life was fortunately hard enough. He was rescued by the dical-nin from Anbu with dical Ninjutsu and artificial respiration at the critical mont. The next day, he showed up for work with his injuries, wearing conspicuous thick-frad glasses!
In the Advisor's Office.
Fugaku was sitting in the office. He had read the docunts in his hand for more than an hour without moving.
"Dad, I'm coming in." Sasuke said as he entered, carrying a bento box with a heart symbol on it.
"Sasuke." Fugaku put down the docunt, took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Dad, this is the bento Mom made for you." Sasuke said proudly, walking over with a pleased expression!
At the beginning, when he learned about how to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan from Orochimaru, he was utterly despondent. The idea of killing his loved ones to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan was sothing he couldn't do, and at the sa ti, he feared that his father and brother might kill him to gain the Mangekyo Sharingan. He is not afraid of death, but he terrified of Fugaku abandoning their father-son bond and Itachi forsaking their brotherhood. The tornt of that fear was very unbearable.
But now, all of that was in the past.
None of them had abandoned each other, and all three were alive, and each had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
It was a perfect ending!
Sasuke felt like dancing with joy, but as a genius of the Uchiha Clan and a top-tier Shinobi who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, he had to maintain his dignity!
'Starting today, I am also a Shinobi standing at the peak of the Shinobi World!
'Namikaze Naruto, you're no longer worthy of being my opponent!'
'But I'll save that line for when I defeat him…' Sasuke imagined Naruto crying in agony at his feet, making him so excited that his face flushed.
"Sasuke? Sasuke?" Fugaku called out to his absent-minded son while eating the bento.
"Ah, Dad, what is it?" Sasuke finally recovered.
Fugaku pushed up his glasses, looking scholarly as he instructed, "Sasuke, from today on, you are forbidden from using the Mangekyo Sharingan!!"
"I understand, Dad."
Sasuke replied happily, then his expression froze as the smile on his face gradually disappeared, "Dad, what did you just say?"
"You are forbidden from using Mangekyo Sharingan in the future!" Fugaku repeated, putting down his bento.
"Why? Dad, why can't I use the Mangekyo? Why? Why?" Sasuke shouted with flustered and exasperated tone.
'After waiting for more than ten years, I've finally gotten the cheat to reach the peak of life, but you didn't let use it?'
Sasuke was so distressed that he was on the verge of tears!
"Sigh."
Fugaku sighed deeply, full of helplessness and despondency.
When Akatsuki attacked the village, he stepped forward and heroically protected the Anbu's Headquarters from Asura Path's missile assault… Although the Anbu's Headquarters was destroyed in the end.
But in that mont, he, Uchiha Fugaku, had undoubtedly made a significant contribution!
Moreover, he used Susanoo to shield the Anbu's Headquarters, consuming a substantial amount of his pupil power, which directly affected his eyesight!
He knew Minato must have known this!
Moreover, Fugaku insisted on clocking in to work even when his severe injuries were not healed, and even put on this conspicuous but ugly thick-frad glasses. It's nothing more than to remind Minato of what he had done for the village!
But!
'But why Namikaze Minato turned a blind eye? Why wasn't he sharing the solution to the Mangekyo's pupil power problem?'
'Was he really going to watch go blind?'
'Or perhaps, Namikaze Minato felt trendous pressure because of Itachi and Sasuke awakening their Mangekyo, so…'
Fugaku's heart tightened, but he imdiately shook his head, 'If that were the case, why did Namikaze Minato solve Shisui's Mangekyo problem?'
"Dad!!!" When Sasuke saw his father was in a daze, he angrily called.
"Sasuke, since you've awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, it's ti to tell you the truth." Fugaku took a deep breath and explained the Mangekyo's pupil power problem to him.
After Sasuke heard this, he was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at Fugaku's thick-frad glasses.
Before, he had always thought that Fugaku wore glasses because of overwork and old age, but it turned out to be because…
"Dad, then your eyes…" Sasuke's heart clenched with concern.
"You should be more worried about yourself."
Fugaku said earnestly, "Sasuke, I know know you desire the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, but using that power cos at a cost. Once you indulge in it, you will end up blind! That's why I never told you how to awaken it and why I forbid you from using it now. Everything I've done is for your own good."
'It turned out to be like this…' Sasuke finally understood his father's painstaking efforts.
'But, to never use the Mangekyo Sharingan again?'
'What about Naruto?'
'I haven't pressed him under my feet, I…'
'I can't accept this!'
Sasuke clenched his fists, and imdiately thought, 'If I only used it once, it shouldn't be a problem, right?'
'I only need to defeat Naruto once. In any case, I must thoroughly and completely defeat him.'
Sasuke lowered his head, thinking, 'Just once!'
…
anwhile.
Itachi is reading a letter at this mont, and his expression beca a bit complicated.
After awakening his Mangekyo, Itachi couldn't wait to write to Shisui and share the joy.
But what he didn't expect is that Shisui's reply gave him a 'thunder appearing in a clear sky'.
"It turns out that I already awakened my Mangekyo a few years ago, but it was sealed by Big Brother Shisui with Genjutsu…"
Itachi smiled bitterly, but he didn't bla Shisui. After all, Mangekyo leads to blindness, and Shisui is only protecting him by doing that. If Itachi were in Shisui's place, he might have done the sa.
Furthermore, there is an ergency safety trigger in Shisui's Genjutsu. Once Itachi encounters an invincible enemy or was on the brink of death, the Genjutsu will disappear.
'As expected of Big Brother Shisui…' Itachi continued reading, then saw the letter was followed by so usual warnings, such as not using Mangekyo if not as a last resort.
After storing the letter, Itachi headed to the Sixth Training Ground to train his subordinates.
Yes, after Kanpū beca Team 7's Jonin Instructor and Tenzo was abducted by Orochimaru, Itachi naturally assud the position of Captain of the Anbu's sixth team!
In the evening, after the training was over, Itachi led his team back to the newly rebuilt Anbu's Headquarters. After he walked out of the locker room with changed clothes, he saw Kakashi walking slowly with two crutches, and beside him, there's actually Kanpū.
