Naruto: My Sharingan is about to burst!

Upon hearing Shisui's objection, Uchiha Kakuyama gave him a meaningful look.

“With people as shrewd as the Third Hokage and Danzo, plus the secret techniques of the various families in the village, how could you possibly fool them if you faked your death?”

Uchiha Shisui paused for a moment, his eyes calm and still.

"I understand."

"Furthermore, Shisui, do you know the consequences of your death?" Uchiha Kakuyama continued.

"Our Uchiha clan will not only escape our current predicament, but will also gain another pair of Mangekyou Sharingan."

Uchiha Shisui reacted quickly

"Itachi Uchiha?"

Qiu Shan nodded: "In the fragments of the future I saw, because of your death, Itachi Uchiha awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Now it seems that, with Itachi's talent, his Sharingan should have reached the limit of three tomoe. Given his feelings for you, if you were murdered for some reason, then the chances of Itachi awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan are very high."

Hearing Qiu Shan's words, Uchiha Shisui smiled with some satisfaction: "I didn't expect Itachi to be so promising. He awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at a younger age than me. He will definitely become an outstanding strongman in the future."

Upon hearing Shisui's words, Uchiha Kakuzan inwardly scoffed, "Becoming a strong person is certainly not wrong, but he's got a screw loose. He was fooled by the Third Hokage, and with the threat from Uchiha Obito, he actually wiped out his own clan and parents, and died alone, burdened with immense hatred."

Itachi Uchiha is a good person, but he has contracted the mental illness unique to the Uchiha clan and lives in his own world. Uchiha Kakuyama couldn't bear to see him suffer such a tragic end. However, these things need to be addressed slowly and gradually. With some caution towards the Third Hokage, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Uchiha Kakuzan looked at Shisui: "So, Shisui, for the sake of the Uchiha clan, for Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan, the only way is for you to truly die once."

Shisui looked at Uchiha Kakuyama seriously: "I'll confirm one more time, is there really no other way? Do I really need to die?"

Qiu Shan responded seriously, "This is the best way. Don't worry, as long as you die, I will definitely fight for the greatest benefit for the Uchiha clan and prevent the Uchiha clan from being wiped out again. I will lead the Uchiha clan to glory."

Upon receiving confirmation from Kyuuyama, Uchiha Shisui smiled with relief and nodded.

"Alright, I promise you. However, you must also protect my body. I don't want it to fall into Danzo's hands. Also, you must keep my Sharingan. I hope it will be helpful to you in the future. I haven't used the 'Kotoamatsukami' in my left eye yet, and they have entrusted it to you."

Uchiha Kakuyama nodded: "Don't worry, Shisui. You rest for a few days. I'll arrange for someone to spread the news that you've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in a few days. Danzo will definitely come looking for you then, so be careful."

Zhi Shui nodded. Having just returned from a mission outside the village, and with so much going on last night without rest, even though he was a strong person, he felt quite tired and decided to go back and get some rest.

Qiu Shan had finished discussing the important matters, and Uchiha Shisui was also showing signs of leaving, so he extended a sincere invitation:

"Shisui, we've been busy all night and haven't had breakfast yet. Let's go eat Ichiraku Ramen, it's on me."

Uchiha Kakuzan had no choice. Although Konoha Village was quite large, it had very little good food. The only decent things to offer were Ichiraku Ramen and yakiniku (grilled meat). But what normal person would go out to eat yakiniku so early in the morning? Besides, yakiniku restaurants wouldn't be open at this time of day.

Therefore, a steaming bowl of ramen with meat and egg can be very satisfying, giving you energy and vitality to face the whole day.

Uchiha Shisui didn't really like ramen, and he wasn't in the mood for it anyway. He just wanted to go back and rest quietly, so he declined Kyuuyama's invitation and went back alone.

Uchiha Kakuzan understood Shisui's feelings and didn't press him further. Watching Shisui's figure disappear into the morning light, he felt a little depressed that no one was going to eat with him. He touched his eyes, which were still slightly hot, and complained, "Well, if no one's going to eat with me, I'll just go eat by myself. I'm going to eat the super-sized deluxe tonkotsu ramen."

As Uchiha Kakuyama left, he muttered to himself as he walked towards the village. The usually deserted riverbank became quiet again, and the morning sun shone on the shimmering river, creating a peaceful scene.

······

Although Uchiha Kakuzan arrived very early, there were already quite a few people in the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant.

As soon as Qiu Shan entered, he shouted, "Uncle Yi Le, I want the extra-large deluxe ramen!"

After shouting, Qiu Shan paused, patted his stomach, and added, "Two portions, tonkotsu and sambal."

Uchiha Kakuzan is currently in a period of rapid growth, and he had exerted himself quite a bit last night, so he can still manage to finish two extra-large portions of ramen with a little effort.

Many of the people who come to Ichiraku Ramen are ninjas. The training and extraction of chakra consumes a lot of energy, especially the Akimichi clan, who are known for their large appetites among ninjas. So, Uncle Ichiraku is used to seeing ninjas who can eat a lot. He doesn't find such requests surprising; at most, he'll just give you a second glance.

Moreover, Uchiha Kazuyama is a regular customer of Ichiraku Ramen. Since Kazuyama became a Jonin, his mission rewards have increased significantly. In addition, he has no ties to himself, so he has never skimped on food. When he comes to Ichiraku Ramen, he often adds a lot of toppings. Therefore, Ichiraku Uncle's reaction to Uchiha Kazuyama's super-sized deluxe ramen is quite indifferent.

"Changpu, come out and help." Uncle Yile saw that he was too busy and quickly called his daughter to come out and help.

Seeing that Uncle Ichiraku had started working, Uchiha Okayama sat down and waited patiently, glancing at the customers in the shop. Well, there were no acquaintances or people he knew.

After a short wait, Uchiha Okayama's ramen was ready. It was still a small bowl, but Ayame, wearing a white hat, carefully brought over his extra-large deluxe ramen and placed it in front of him. Her face was flushed from the steam of the ramen, and she whispered, "Okayama-nii, your ramen is ready. Be careful, it's hot!"

Chapter 18 Uzumaki Naruto

Chapter 18 Naruto Uzumaki

As a regular customer of Ichiraku Ramen, Uchiha Okayama was naturally very familiar with Ichiraku-san and Ayame. Whenever Ichiraku-san was busy, Ayame would help add ingredients and serve noodles. If Ayame weren't Ichiraku's daughter, she would probably have been reported for employing child labor long ago.

Uchiha Kakuyama thanked her and was about to eat his noodles when he noticed that there was an extra egg in his bowl compared to before. He looked up and saw Ayame giving him a wink before hurrying off to do her work.

Looking at the little girl who was busy and sweating profusely, and then at the extra egg in his bowl, Uchiha Okayama couldn't help but laugh. While eating his noodles, he joked with Uncle Ichiraku: "Uncle Ichiraku, Ayame has been so virtuous and cute since she was little. You must save her for me. When she grows up, you can marry her off to me."

Uncle Ichiraku glanced lovingly at the iris, and replied with a smile while busy at work:

"Qiu Shan, don't tease my daughter. She's still young. Besides, I know that while your Uchiha clan doesn't strictly prohibit intermarriage with outsiders like the Hyuga clan, it's not easy to marry someone from another clan. Moreover, someone as famous as you, a genius of the Uchiha clan, would never allow yourself to marry someone from another clan."

Hearing what Uchiha Kakuyama and her father said, Ayame's already rosy cheeks turned even redder. She quickly lowered her head and got back to work, but her hands became a little flustered.

Uchiha Kakuzan, who had been teasing Ayame, fell silent after hearing Ichiraku's words. Ichiraku was right; although the Grand Elder wholeheartedly supported him because he had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, if he wanted to marry someone from another clan, those old fogies would be the first to jump out and stop him.

That makes sense. Since you've enjoyed the help and convenience your family has provided, you have to take on the family's responsibilities. And for bloodline clans like the Uchiha and Hyuga, in order to maintain the power brought by their bloodlines, they naturally have to maintain the purity of their bloodline so that the bloodline won't become increasingly diluted, leading to the clan's demise.

Of course, now is not the time to think about these things. By the time Qiu Shan wants to get married, his strength will have reached a level that others can only dream of. At that time, he won't be following the rules, but making them.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Kakuyama felt that the noodles in the bowl tasted even better. It should be said that it is indeed a famous dish of Konoha Village. The noodles are chewy, the soup is rich, and even the ingredients are superb. Unless you don't like noodles, you will definitely fall in love with Ichiraku Ramen.

Just as Uchiha Kazuyama finished his noodles and was drinking the soup, Ayame carefully brought over the second bowl of noodles. Kazuyama looked at Ayame's rosy cheeks and smiled, saying thank you. After placing the noodles down, Ayame quickly glanced at her father, noticing he wasn't paying attention, and then discreetly pointed at the noodles with her finger, indicating there was something at the bottom of the bowl. She gave Kazuyama a bright smile and turned to continue her work.

Seeing Ayame's gesture, Uchiha Okayama secretly used his chopsticks to lift the noodles, revealing what was at the bottom of the bowl. Good heavens, Uchiha Okayama had originally ordered the super-sized deluxe version of ramen, which already had plenty of ingredients. Unexpectedly, there was another layer at the bottom of the bowl, full of slices of meat, meat rolls, and eggs. Startled, Okayama quickly covered the noodles back up, afraid that Uncle Ichiraku would find out and get angry on the spot.

Just then, Qiu Shan noticed that Chang Pu was glancing in his direction. Qiu Shan quickly and secretly gave Chang Pu a thumbs-up to express his gratitude. When Chang Pu saw this, she playfully stuck out her tongue when Uncle Yi Le wasn't looking, indicating to Qiu Shan that she had received his thanks.

Thanks to Uchiha Kousan's efforts, he finally finished the second super-sized deluxe bowl. Kousan was already struggling to eat two super-sized bowls, and with so many more ingredients in the second bowl, he was finally stuffed.

After putting down his bowl, Qiu Shan let out a satisfied burp, paid for his meal, said goodbye to Uncle Yi Le and Chang Pu, and then walked outside.

Just then, Uchiha Kakuyama noticed a small figure peeking out from the entrance of Ichiraku Ramen. The kid was wearing an orange outfit, had golden hair, and was dirty on his body and face. He had a timid expression, but his sky-blue eyes looked into the shop with longing.

Uchiha Kakuyama immediately recognized the kid lingering at the door as Naruto Uzumaki, the protagonist of Naruto, the Child of Prophecy, the son of the Fourth Hokage, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Now, he's just a somewhat underdeveloped kid. His identity as the son of the Fourth Hokage was hidden by the Third Hokage, and rumors also circulated that he was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, causing the villagers of Konoha to harbor malice towards him. The food he bought was always expired. He had no parents, no one to rely on, only loneliness and fear. He could only silently endure the humiliation he faced, and darkness forever shrouded him.

He was the son of a hero, yet he was treated like a prisoner. If it weren't for Naruto's status as the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, it wouldn't be surprising if he suddenly died one day.

Uchiha Kakuyama sighed silently, but did not approach him. The Uchiha clan already had a tense relationship with the village. As a genius of the Uchiha clan, he could be considered a representative of the younger generation of the Uchiha. If he rashly approached the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the already sensitive nerves of the Third Hokage and Danzo would be stimulated, and who knows what they might do.

Moreover, Uchiha Kakuzan's Sharingan had only reached the Mangekyou level, not yet at the point where he could control the Nine-Tails. To contend with the Nine-Tails, or to suppress it, he would need the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Uchiha Kakuyama looked at Naruto Uzumaki's thin body, but the image of the Fourth Hokage appeared in his mind. As a genius who came from a commoner background, he had extraordinary talent, outstanding combat ability, and heartfelt warmth towards everyone.

If the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, hadn't died before he transmigrated, he would have definitely tried to save his life. This wasn't just because of his friendly attitude towards the Uchiha clan, but also because of his personal charisma. If the Fourth Hokage hadn't died so young, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village wouldn't have deteriorated to this extent.

Uchiha Okayama touched the coupon that Uncle Ichiraku had given him earlier in his pocket. Since he was a regular customer, he not only came to eat ramen often, but also always chose the more expensive dishes, so Uncle Ichiraku often gave him coupons.

Uchiha Kakuzan didn't look at Naruto Uzumaki anymore and walked straight outside. As he passed Naruto, a stack of coupons accidentally fell next to him, but Uchiha Kakuzan seemed not to notice and continued walking outside without stopping.

Chapter 19 My Sharingan is about to burst!

Chapter 19 My Sharingan is about to burst!

Naruto noticed the Ichiraku Ramen coupons lying next to him. Looking at the stack of coupons—at least ten—he realized they were equivalent to more than ten bowls of ramen.

Naruto stared greedily at the stack of coupons, licked his lips, patted his flat stomach, and seemed to faintly smell the aroma of ramen.

Naruto looked up at Uchiha Kakuyama's retreating figure as he walked further and further away, then looked down at the coupon at his feet, seemingly engaged in a fierce internal struggle. Suddenly, Naruto grabbed the coupon from the ground and chased after the man.

Uchiha Kakuyama strolled slowly through the Ashoka clan's territory, having eaten too much earlier, so he just ate a light snack. He had tossed a coupon for Ichiraku Ramen next to Naruto, mainly because he couldn't stand the sight of it.

The Fourth Hokage and his wife died protecting the village, leaving behind a child who not only couldn't enjoy the privileges of being the son of a hero, but was also isolated because he was the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki. In order to strengthen his relationship with Naruto, the Third Hokage spread rumors that Naruto was the incarnation of the Demon Fox, causing everyone to ostracize him. Although there were people who knew Naruto's true identity (such as the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and the Hyuga clan), they didn't want to offend the Third Hokage and wouldn't get close to Naruto, only not stopping their own children from playing with him.

Uchiha Kakuzan believed that although he was not a good person, he could not do what the Third Hokage did to control the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Although Naruto Uzumaki is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he's still just a clueless kid, especially since he's the son of the Fourth Hokage.

Moreover, the Nine-Tails itself is a collection of all kinds of dark aspects, hatred, and loathing. If Naruto hadn't been born kind, and if Ashura's chakra hadn't influenced him, Naruto would have long since degenerated into a problem child who hates and destroys everything.

Uchiha Kakuyama was still thinking when he suddenly heard someone behind him shout, "Big brother in front, wait a minute, you dropped something."

Uchiha Kagami turned around and saw Naruto running towards him, panting, clutching the coupon he had deliberately dropped. He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. "I deliberately dropped it so you could pick it up," he thought, "why are you bringing it back?"

Unaware that any Anbu members were secretly monitoring Naruto, Uchiha Kakuzan, in order not to provoke the Third Hokage's already sensitive nerves and to minimize contact with the Nine-Tails, could only speak with a cold face:

"What are you doing, kid?"

Naruto Uzumaki was already used to this attitude, and held up the coupon in his hand.

"Big brother, you accidentally dropped your coupon when you came out of Ichiraku Ramen. I'll bring it to you."

Upon hearing Naruto's words, Uchiha Kakuzan's cold expression softened somewhat. He pretended to check his pockets to confirm before refusing:

"No need, kid. The coupon expires in a month. I've already received a mission and need to leave the village. I won't be back for two or three months. If you need it, keep it for yourself. If you don't need it, just throw it away for me."

Without waiting for Naruto's reaction, Uchiha Kakuyama turned and left.

Naruto watched as the older boy turned and walked away after speaking, unsure whether to chase after him or not. Just as he hesitated, Naruto's stomach suddenly growled. His stomach, which hadn't had a proper meal for two days, was about to rebel. Naruto had originally planned to smell the aroma at Ichiraku Ramen before heading to the river to catch some fish to fill his stomach, but he hadn't expected such an unexpected catch.

Knowing that the older boy in front of him didn't want these coupons, Naruto felt comfortable keeping them for himself.

Naruto opened the coupon he was clutching tightly in his hand. Because he had gripped it too tightly, the coupon was a little wrinkled. Naruto happily began to count it.

One, two, three... The more Naruto counted, the brighter his eyes became. There were a total of twenty coupons, and they were all large ramen vouchers.

Overjoyed to have found such a large sum of money for the first time, Naruto carefully took out one bill and put the rest in his inner pocket. He excitedly ran to Ichiraku Ramen, holding the coupon in his hand and shouting, "Ichiraku Uncle, a large bowl of ramen, please!"

······

The encounter with Naruto Uzumaki was just a minor incident, and Uchiha Kakuzan didn't dwell on it, deciding to let Sasuke Uchiha be the one to love him in the future. As the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, they were destined to be entangled in this life.

Uchiha Kazuyama strode into his home. It was just an ordinary house with a small yard. Uchiha Kazuyama's parents were relatively ordinary members of the Uchiha clan. His father was a regular Jonin, and his mother was a Chunin. They sacrificed themselves in a mission when Kazuyama was nine years old, so they didn't leave him much of an inheritance. The house they left him was just an ordinary house for a family of three.

After opening the door and entering the room, Uchiha Kakuyama couldn't help but rub his eyes. With the eight hours the system had mentioned drawing ever closer, Uchiha Kakuyama felt his eyes becoming increasingly hot and swollen; sometimes he could even feel the blood vessels throbbing beside them.

Uchiha Kakuyama could feel that it was because the power of his Sharingan was increasing as his unique eye techniques were awakened. As the power of his eyes increased, his Mangekyou Sharingan felt somewhat stretched, which was why his eyes felt hot and swollen.

As time went on, Uchiha Kakuzan felt that his eye technique was about to awaken. With the increase in his eye power, his eyes had uncontrollably activated the three-tomoe Sharingan state. The three tomoe spun faster and faster, as if this could digest the excess eye power.

The three tomoe of the Sharingan spun faster and faster. Just when Uchiha Kakuzan was wondering if his eyes were about to burst, the three tomoe seemed to melt, changing shape and outlining a completely new shape, somewhat similar to Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, but with hollowed-out details. It also resembled Uchiha Obito's, with the ends of the patterns slightly connected. However, perhaps due to the hollowed-out design, it appeared much more refined than Shisui's and Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan.

As the kaleidoscope pattern of Uchiha Kagami appeared, the system's voice also rang in Kagami's mind.

"Congratulations, host. Your Mangekyou Sharingan has finally awakened. Please check its specific functions yourself."

"Warning, warning. According to the system's verification, with the completion of the awakening of the host's Mangekyou Sharingan and the completion of the eye technique, the host's Mangekyou Sharingan has reached the limit of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Before the host's Sharingan evolves into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, please do not copy or learn any more Mangekyou eye techniques."

Chapter 20 The Eye of Copying and Takamagahara

Chapter Twenty: The Eye of Copying and Takamagahara

Upon hearing the system's warning, Uchiha Kakuyama was somewhat surprised and speechless, not expecting his Sharingan to reach the limit of the Mangekyou Sharingan so quickly.
