Chapter 43 The Uchiha Pool Who Will Never Engage in Internal Strife
The night sky is dotted with stars.
As the thick smoke dissipated, moonlight streamed down, gradually brightening the dim courtyard.
The gentle moonlight and the boy's wild and unruly profile made the scene look somewhat strange, yet strangely harmonious.
Ping Pong —
With a mournful clang from the clash of metal, the kunai in his hand was flung into the air, but Uchiha Hachiro had no time to pay attention to it.
He stared wide-eyed at Uchiha Ike, momentarily forgetting that he was still in battle.
"It seems the outcome is already decided."
Even when the cold kunai was pressed against Uchiha Yatsuhoshi's throat, he still hadn't come to his senses.
"The Sharingan with three tomoe..."
Uchiha Ike actually has three tomoe!
How could that be! Didn't he just graduate from the Ninja Academy?!
"..."
[Shocking information detected from the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha!]
[Gain 20 points and increase damage by 4%!]
[Target's emotional fluctuations exceed the standard; host receives additional reward: Sharingan Windmill Technique - Third Great Sword!]
[Using threads to control ninja tools for throwing, the true attack is launched the instant the threads are caught; this is especially effective when used in conjunction with the Sharingan.]
Looking at the shocked expression on Uchiha Yatsuhoshi's face.
Uchiha Ike could no longer suppress the corners of his mouth, and his maniacal laughter rose even higher.
He looked up at the system, which displayed long, detailed prompts.
[Points deducted... Bloodline Limit upgrade obtained once!]
[Ding! Host's current state is detected as two-tomoe Sharingan; the next stage is three-tomoe Sharingan]
【Please wait......】
[Bloodline limit upgrade complete, Three-Tomoe Sharingan officially awakened!]
He had already activated his three-tomoe Sharingan when the Eighth Hokage knocked on the door!
The person outside the door was clearly unfriendly. Why didn't he make more preparations?
Therefore, it took Uchiha Ike quite a while before he got up to open the door.
The purpose is to achieve the upgrade of the bloodline limit.
"Hahahaha... Hahahahahahahahaha!"
After an uncontrollable burst of instinctive laughter, Uchiha Ike's lips finally softened a bit, but the smile still lingered.
"Hachishiro-senpai, is there something on my face? Why are you so surprised?"
He looked at Uchiha Yatsuhoku, who was still in a daze, and asked gently.
"...When did you awaken your Sharingan?"
Uchiha Hachimoku looked at the boy's crimson eyes with a complex expression. At such a young age, he had already awakened the Sharingan, and it was the three-tomoe Sharingan at that...
Even he had to admit that the young man in front of him did have the right to be arrogant.
"When?" Upon hearing this question, Uchiha Ike lowered his head and pondered for two seconds before looking up at Uchiha Yasho: "From the moment Yasho-senpai interrupted me."
He put down the kunai that was pressed against Uchiha Hachiho's throat, spread his hands, winked, and said, "I hate it when people interrupt."
What kind of ridiculous reason is that?
Uchiha Hachimoku frowned. "I'm not joking with you."
"Doesn't the Eighth Hokage believe this reason?" Uchiha Ike sighed. "Then I'll just have to tell the truth..."
The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by utter estrangement and indifference.
"My Sharingan was awakened when my parents sacrificed themselves."
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha remained silent.
If I remember correctly, Uchiha Ike was not even five years old when his parents died on the battlefield.
So he had already awakened the Sharingan back then?
For so many years, not a single person in the clan knew...
A few seconds later, Uchiha Yatsuhoku continued, "What about the three-tomoe gems?"
No one can awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan in one go.
So after that, something must have provoked the other person.
And it's a trauma even more painful than losing one's parents...
Facing the question of the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha.
Now it was Uchiha Ike's turn to fall silent.
But Uchiha Hachimoku did not urge him; he simply watched the boy quietly.
When someone possesses the Sharingan with three tomoe, it means that they have lost something very important.
In the eyes of the Eighth Hokage, Uchiha Ike's silence proved this point; the boy had clearly recalled the past and was once again plunged into grief.
Having also awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, he was naturally able to empathize with Uchiha Ike.
On the other side...
Bathed in the sympathetic gaze of Uchiha Hachimoku, Uchiha Ike's lips twitched slightly.
He didn't have any painful past at all.
Uchiha Ike was never one to enjoy internal strife. In his view, it was better to strife others than to strife himself. Lowering his moral standards and enjoying a life of immorality was his motto.
Therefore, in the past two weeks since he transmigrated to the ninja world, apart from worrying for the first few days about why the old lady in his clan wouldn't give him any gold coins, he has either been consuming other people's resources or on his way to do so.
For Uchiha Ike, the current problem is how to make the reason for awakening his Sharingan more plausible.
"This last-minute addition really puts the actors' skills to the test..."
Uchiha Ike silently complained, but the general outline of the idea had already formed in his mind.
"The three-tomoe Sharingan..." He covered his eyes with one hand, a strange smile on his face, his voice trembling slightly.
It was like fear, and it was like anger.
"It was probably when I found out who killed my parents."
"What!?" Uchiha Yatsuho exclaimed in surprise, looking at Uchiha Ike in disbelief.
Uchiha Ike didn't answer, but gave a bitter laugh and asked softly, "During the Second Shinobi World War, my parents were on the Sunagakure battlefield. Which battlefield was the Eighth Hokage on?"
"I was on the battlefield in Amegakure at the time," Uchiha Yasho replied thoughtfully. "Back then, I was just a Chunin, following the forces led by the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, fighting against Hanzo, the demigod of the ninja world, outside Amegakure."
"...I survived by sheer luck."
As he spoke, there was a faint sadness in his eyes.
During that war, his comrade, who was talking to him about eating meat pies that night, was trampled into mincemeat by a summoning beast summoned by Hanzo the next second. In the moment of emotional collapse, he activated the three-tomoe Sharingan.
Uchiha Ike nodded and asked, "Where was Clan Chief Fugaku at that time?"
"Lord Fugaku was younger than me, but more talented. He was already a Jonin at that time, and if I remember correctly, he led our Uchiha team to Sunagakure..."
"Heh..." Uchiha Ike chuckled softly, looking up at the only tree in the courtyard: "What a coincidence... My parents also sacrificed themselves around that time."
"You mean..." Uchiha Yatsuhoku seemed to have made a connection and retorted loudly, "That's impossible!"
He looked eagerly at Uchiha Ike, wanting to get an answer from him.
But the boy's face was hidden in the shadows.
Uchiha Hachimoku couldn't see the expression on the face beneath the shadows, but he could sense the intense, almost tangible, emotion emanating from the other person.
"My parents were in Chief Fugaku's squad at the time."
Dengdeng.
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha took a few steps back, a sudden fear gripping his heart, and then shook his head violently.
"Wait a minute, there must be some misunderstanding here!"
