After all, he had transmigrated into this world for sixteen years—born an Uchiha, raised as an Uchiha.
Humans were not plants. How could one be without feelings?
Most of his relatives and friends were members of the Uchiha clan. Naturally, he could not just stand by and watch the tragedy of the Night of the Clan's Destruction unfold.
"Danzo the Shadow Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the filial executioner Uchiha Itachi… and that guy lurking in the shadows, Tobi."
As he recited the names of those responsible for the clan's destruction, cold light flickered in Uchiha Yusuke's eyes.
Among these four culprits, Uchiha Itachi could be temporarily ignored. After all, he had only just graduated from the Ninja Academy—his strength was still limited. But the other three were all genuine Kage-level existences.
If he wanted to deal with them, Yusuke would need to plan carefully.
Leaving others aside for the moment, Danzo Shimura was obsessively targeting the Uchiha while secretly coveting the forbidden ocular power of the Sharingan.
To put it bluntly, Danzo was already on Yusuke's kill list.
The Uchiha and Danzo could never coexist.
As for the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi—on the surface he appeared benevolent, but beneath that facade lay filth just as deep. In the original events, although he did not openly support the eradication of the Uchiha, he had nonetheless participated—both overtly and covertly—in suppressing and marginalizing them.
And when it came to brainwashing Uchiha Itachi, Hiruzen's "contributions" were far from insignificant.
Turning a once-in-a-century genius of the Uchiha clan into a blade used to slaughter his own people—
All under the noble banner of "for Konoha" and "for peace in the shinobi world."
What a load of crap.
As for the remaining two members of Konoha's so-called F4, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, they were basically wearing the same pants as Danzo.
Those two old vultures had long since grown lax after occupying high positions for years. Their strength had fallen to the bottom, and Yusuke didn't even put them in his sights.
Even without the Mangekyō, he could easily dispose of those two geezers.
As long as Danzo Shimura and Hiruzen Sarutobi were dealt with, those so-called advisors would crumble on their own.
That left his old "classmate," Tobi—a severe nutcase who was far more troublesome.
Nohara Rin was dead, and Tobi wanted to destroy the world to create one where Rin still existed.
Yusuke could only say one thing—
That guy was seriously deranged. Terminally so.
Tobi clearly knew Madara's plan and knew full well that the Rinnegan could resurrect the dead.
Yet instead of seizing the Rinnegan to revive Rin, he insisted on carrying out the Eye of the Moon Plan and drowning himself in a world of genjutsu.
If that wasn't insanity, what was?
All that could be said was that Madara's brainwashing methods were even more terrifying than the so-called Will of Fire.
[Three-Tomoe Sharingan (Proficiency: 100%) has evolved into Mangekyō Sharingan (Proficiency: 0.1%)!]
As time passed, the long-awaited notification finally echoed in his mind.
At the same time, an immense surge of ocular power flooded from his consciousness into his eyes.
"Ah—ah—ah!"
As the power poured in, Uchiha Yusuke's face twisted violently, and he could no longer suppress his scream.
It felt as though his eyes had been placed directly into raging flames, the pain searing into his very bones.
At some point, two streams of blood tears had already traced their way down his face.
Fortunately, the infusion of ocular power ended quickly, and the agonizing burning sensation faded with it.
"Huff… huff… huff…"
Uchiha Yusuke gasped heavily. Only after several minutes did he slowly open his eyes.
Within his pupils, the three tomoe twisted and flowed, linking together with the central pupil until they finally formed a windmill-like pattern.
Unable to wait any longer, Yusuke grabbed a mirror and examined the Mangekyō reflected within. A faint smile crept onto his lips.
Although he had yet to sense the specific ocular abilities of his eyes, the sheer explosion of ocular power alone left him thoroughly satisfied.
With his current level of ocular power, once his genjutsu was unleashed, who below Kage-level could possibly resist?
Moreover, the Mangekyō Sharingan was known as a technique that reflected the heart.
Given time, his eyes would naturally give birth to the ocular abilities best suited to him.
And awakening the power known as Susanoo—the strength of the gods—was only a matter of time.
"I can begin the first step of the plan now—taking the position of Uchiha clan head."
Deactivating the Mangekyō, Uchiha Yusuke smiled with confidence.
The first step to saving the Uchiha, of course, was to become the clan head himself.
With the Mangekyō Sharingan and his own special abilities combined, he was already fully confident that he could defeat the current clan head—
Uchiha Fugaku.
