Chapter 46: Konoha Shaken, Uchiha Akira Awakens Three Tomoe
🕑 Added 2024-08-17 07:41:12 +0000 UTCWhen it came to unlocking the Sharingan or evolving it to the two-tomoe state, Uchiha Akira had always achieved these milestones during his life simulations.
But he never expected that the death of his teacher, Shisui, would trigger the evolution of his Sharingan to the three-tomoe state!
With the evolution of his Sharingan, Uchiha Akira could clearly feel that the three-tomoe Sharingan was significantly stronger than the previous two-tomoe state!
Not only had his perception and dynamic vision improved dramatically, but he could also now precisely see the flow of chakra within his opponents!
This enhanced vision allowed him to perfectly copy his opponent’s hand signs and replicate their jutsu in real time.
However, unlike the joy he usually felt when his Sharingan evolved during his life simulations, Uchiha Akira felt no happiness today as his Sharingan reached the three-tomoe state.
It was as if something heavy was weighing down his heart, leaving him feeling burdened.
He had a strong urge to shout to the heavens, to release his pent-up emotions!
After the intense outcry of grief and anger over Shisui’s death at his home, Uchiha Fugaku, as the clan leader, began making arrangements for Shisui’s funeral.
Uchiha Akira returned home as well.
When the day of the funeral arrived, the Uchiha clan held a grand ceremony.
Members of other prominent clans in Konoha, including the Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Akimichi clans, also attended to pay their respects.
Of course, the Third Hokage and Danzo, along with other high-ranking officials from Konoha, also attended in person.
The Third Hokage expressed deep sorrow, stating that Shisui's death was a great loss for the village...
However, the Uchiha clansmen watched the Third Hokage’s display with cold eyes.
It was clear that they saw through his act, believing him to be shedding crocodile tears.
But the Third Hokage’s grief was genuine!
After all, if Shisui had lived, his Kotoamatsukami would have been able to make the Uchiha clan submit to the Hokage’s authority, making them tools for his use!
Losing such a powerful asset was indeed a significant loss for the Third Hokage.
After the funeral, life in Konoha seemed to slowly return to normal.
However, the already wary and suspicious Konoha leadership grew even more brazen in their actions.
For one, Shisui was dead, and the Uchiha clan had lost a major pillar of support.
Secondly, one of Shisui’s Mangekyō Sharingan eyes had fallen into Danzo’s hands.
With this in mind, the Konoha leadership felt even less fearful of the Uchiha.
As the pressure from Konoha’s leaders intensified, the Uchiha clan members, despite having lost Shisui, became even more determined in their desire to stage a coup.
...
For several days, Uchiha Akira did not leave his house.
He didn’t train, nor did he take on any missions.
It was as if he had completely given up.
A week passed after Shisui’s suicide.
During this time, the news that Uchiha Akira’s Sharingan had evolved to the three-tomoe state spread throughout the Uchiha clan, reigniting their spirits!
In just one year, he had awakened the Sharingan, advanced to the two-tomoe state, and now reached three tomoe?
This incredible rate of growth was unprecedented in the history of the Uchiha clan!
Some within the clan even speculated that given another twenty years, or perhaps even just ten, Uchiha Akira might reach the legendary heights of Uchiha Madara!
Shisui’s death had greatly dampened the Uchiha clan’s morale.
But Uchiha Akira’s rapid progression to the three-tomoe Sharingan in just one year had lifted their spirits significantly!
That night, Uchiha Akira sat quietly in his courtyard, gazing up at the full moon.
His mind was still occupied with thoughts of what he needed to do next.
For a long time, Uchiha Akira had distanced himself from the events of the Uchiha clan’s fateful night.
Even in his life simulations, he had often tried to find ways to leave the village and avoid the inevitable conflict.
But now, with Shisui’s death, Uchiha Akira felt a burning anger inside him, a desire to change everything!
Yet, he knew that with his current strength, he wasn’t capable of changing anything.
This left Uchiha Akira feeling conflicted and frustrated.
Swoosh!
As Uchiha Akira sat there in deep thought, wondering whether he should find a way to alter the course of events or continue avoiding conflict as before, a figure appeared in the night, standing atop a power pole in the distance.
In the darkness, the figure’s crimson Mangekyō Sharingan, shaped like a three-sided windmill, was clearly visible!
“That’s… Uchiha Itachi!?” Uchiha Akira quickly stood up as he recognized the figure in the distance.
Seeing Itachi turn and leave, Uchiha Akira hesitated for a moment, then decided to follow him.
