Inside the House of Elder Uchiha Setsuna
Chimera Jutsu!
At this moment, a unique rhombus-shaped curse mark appeared on Uchiha Shirou's palm. He pressed it against Elder Setsuna's eyes, which were gradually losing warmth.
Immediately, a cold yet smooth power flowed through his arm and into his body, finally reaching his eyes. As the sensation of cold yet comfortable energy spread to his temples, he couldn't help but smile.
"Just as I suspected. Even though we are not direct retives, the shared Uchiha bloodline minimizes the rejection of this power. And there's also the Uchiha cn's unique genjutsu power!"
Feeling the refreshing coolness emanating from his eyes, Shirou squinted slightly, his expression intoxicated.
The ocur power of the Sharingan varies even among those at the same three-tomoe stage, with some possessing innate differences. It was mentioned in the original records that eyes had the potential to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, further highlighting the disparity in genjutsu even at the same level.
"Strengthening ocur power might not directly lead to evolution, but it could make this the strongest three-tomoe Sharingan, possessing the potential for Mangekyō awakening. Moreover, greater ocur power could reduce the difficulty of awakening it."
The surge of energy came quickly and faded just as fast. When Shirou withdrew his hand, the rhombus mark on his palm had disappeared, leaving his sclera bloodshot. He even felt a faint sense of swelling and tears in his eyes, prompting him to cover them with his hand.
"As expected, some rejection force still exists, though minimal. But in three to five months at most, this power will fully integrate."
Shirou lowered his gaze to Elder Setsuna's now lifeless body and sighed wistfully.
"Elder Setsuna, if you knew, I believe you would smile even in the afterlife. After all, this is all for the Uchiha."
By now, Elder Setsuna's corpse had lost the ocur power of the Sharingan. Shirou no longer feared detection, knowing the body would soon be cremated.
Creak...
The sliding door opened to reveal Uchiha Mikoto, alongside the cn head and Fugaku, both wearing solemn expressions.
"The farewell is complete. Elder Setsuna may have made mistakes in life, but his contributions to the cn were undeniable. Let him become an eternal fme."
At this, Shirou sighed deeply, his tone den with emotion.
"Wherever the leaves dance, the fire burns eternal. When the Senju and Uchiha founded the vilge, the Uchiha named it Konoha to honor the Senju. Likewise, the Senju named the vilge leader Hokage, signifying the Uchiha. Elder Setsuna will now become that eternal fme, always illuminating Konoha."
Shirou's murmurs caused a ripple of shock and realization among the elite Uchiha present in the courtyard.
Ninjas, often regarded as mere tools, seldom delved deeply into history. Many of the Uchiha three-tomoe elites had only a cursory understanding of this part of the past. For the Uchiha, this history was far from glorious.
Yet, with Shirou revisiting it now, and linking it to the shared founding of Konoha by the Uchiha and Senju, it struck a chord in their hearts.
Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku felt an inexplicable tremor. He looked at the young Uchiha Shirou, carrying the weight of their cn, with newfound astonishment.
So Konoha was named by the Uchiha, and the Hokage symbolized the Uchiha...
For the Uchiha, a cn of special eyes and heightened spiritual sensitivity, Shirou's simple ment seemed to resonate deeply with their souls. Once marginalized, they now realized that the vilge was their creation too.
"Shirou-kun."
Beside him, Mikoto wiped away her tears, while the cn head sighed inwardly.
Shirou, with his wistful expression, observed everyone's reactions and understood. Even Fugaku, along with the entire Uchiha cn, saw Konoha as their home.
In the original story, when pushed to the brink, their choice was a coup, not rebellion. Thus, Shirou sought to instill a belief in the cn—a true Will of Fire.
"Shirou-kun, you—"
At that moment, Fugaku's expression changed as he noticed Elder Setsuna's intact eyes. Mikoto, too, looked surprised.
"Shirou-kun, the elder entrusted his Sharingan to you!"
The calm cn head sighed, seemingly realizing something. Elder Setsuna's eyes remained untouched.
Hearing this, Shirou smiled—a smile filled with the Uchiha's unique pride and defiance.
"My eyes are already on the path to invincibility. Why would I need another's?"
His solitary voice echoed, shocking the Uchiha elites who knew of the cn's forbidden techniques. Even Fugaku looked stunned, realizing the young boy who once sought his guidance had surpassed him.
At this moment, Shirou embodied the Uchiha's pride, leaving the elite ninjas in awe.
This is the Uchiha!
Their eyes, already invincible, needed no borrowing.
"Shirou-kun!"
Mikoto, both proud and worried, trusted Shirou but knew even geniuses needed time to grow. However, Shirou's decration before everyone solidified his resolve.
Under the watchful eyes of the cn's elites, Elder Setsuna's body was respectfully carried to the Uchiha Naka Shrine.
In the end, the elder's remains were consumed in fmes, leaving no trace in this world.
"Wherever the leaves dance, the fire burns eternal..."
Bathed in the firelight, an elite murmured, soon joined by others silently reciting the true Will of Fire.
As the fire reflected on his face, Shirou gazed at the fmes and sighed.
"Elder, rest in peace. As long as the Uchiha remain, the cn and vilge will face no unrest."
Seizing this moment of unity, Shirou subtly conveyed a deeper sense of identity. He crafted a clearer spiritual foundation for the cn—a true Will of Fire.
Unconsciously, the Uchiha connected Konoha, the vilge, and the cn.
Konoha was founded by the Uchiha and Senju. Its name signified the Senju, while the Hokage signified the Uchiha. Konoha is equated to Uchiha and Senju.
The Senju carried the wood, the Uchiha lit the fire. As long as the wood endured, the fire would never die.
The vilge belonged to both the Uchiha and Senju!
