The Hidden Letter
"What a disappointment! The Mangekyō Sharingan isn't all that great."
"What a letdown..."
Luo Lei, after entering his tent, collapsed into his leather armchair with a sigh of annoyance.
"I guess my mental power is too strong now. I barely felt anything when I faced the supposedly 'great' ocular power of the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Suddenly, a mechanical voice resonated in his head:
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You've completed another perfect launch. The system rewards you with an additional 3% experience.]
[Keep it up, host. Follow your instincts, don't let anything or anyone tie you down. Do as you wish.]
"Just as I expected," he muttered with a satisfied smile.
His gaze fell on Mikoto, deeply asleep in his bed. Three percent experience... not bad at all.
Zoom!
After a few seconds, a wave of energy flooded his body, transforming it.
"System, show me the properties panel," he ordered, feeling his body strengthen.
A transparent panel appeared before his eyes, visible only to him:

"Impressive," Although he already knew that the more the Homelander template was unlocked, the more powerful his attributes would become. However, this increase exceeded his expectations.
"The temperature of my heat vision... it will soon exceed 10,000 degrees Celsius. It's almost scary to think about that heat."
Closing the attributes panel, he looked back at Mikoto, whose body showed obvious signs of exhaustion.
"Now that I'm stronger, I should test these new powers," he thought with a malicious smile. "But not with her... Right?"
With Mikoto's screams echoing in the tent, the day passed.
The next morning, news that Luo Lei had "helped" Fugaku awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan spread like wildfire throughout the Konoha camp in the Land of Waves.
Immediately.
A wave of commotion shook the Konoha army ninjas in the Land of Waves.
Their faces reflected a mixture of amazement and reverence.
Everyone was aware of the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan.
Fugaku's awakening meant much more than a personal achievement; it represented the addition of an elite combat force to their army ranks.
With Luo Lei's presence and now Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan, the integral power of the Konoha army could only be described as monstrous.
Simultaneously, Futian, in his role as commander-in-chief of the battalion, made a momentous announcement: from that moment on, they would launch a counteroffensive against the Kirigakure army, with the aim of restoring and demonstrating Konoha's majesty and might.
"Incredible, truly incredible!"
"Luo Lei-sama is extraordinary. At last, we'll be able to face the Mist ninja army..."
After hearing this news.
A wave of excitement swept through Konoha's ranks. Their faces, previously marked by defeat and retreat before the Mist ninjas, now shone with renewed determination.
Finally, they felt they could stand tall, their fighting spirit reborn with intensity.
That same morning.
The Konoha army, brimming with confidence and vigor, began its march towards the camp where the Kirigakure forces were entrenched.
_____
At that precise moment in the east of the Land of Waves.
In the depths of the Kirigakure army camp.
The third Mizukage, Yagura, along with Tsurugi and other high-ranking officials, were gathered. Their faces reflected concern, evidencing that all had been informed of the arrival of the feared "God of Slaughter", Luo Lei, to the Land of Waves, as well as his role in helping Fugaku Uchiha awaken the legendary Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Damn it!, How is it possible that Luo Lei has arrived so quickly in the Land of Waves?!"
Bang!!
After a long and tense silence, Yagura, with an expression of cold indifference, slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed: "Just a few more days and we would have managed to expel the Konoha army from these lands."
"What should be our next move?"
Tsurugi, his face shadowed with concern, addressed the Mizukage: "Mizukage-sama, do we retreat or continue with the attack?"
"The fact that Luo Lei has helped Fugaku Uchiha awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan is simply amazing," commented another of those present.
"Now the Konoha troops have initiated a strong counteroffensive, clearly without any fear."
"Kumogakure and Iwagakure have proven to be unreliable. Despite our alliance, they couldn't even provide us with support, leaving us alone to face this situation."
"Luo Lei is a monster. The Seven Swordsmen of the Mist were massacred by him, and to top it off, we lost the ninja swords. Those supposed swordsmen turned out to be a complete disappointment."
"..."
With Tsurugi's words as a catalyst.
Several of the members present raised their voices in frustration.
For them, the loss of the ninja swords meant a dramatic drop in the combat effectiveness of future swordsmen. This fact fueled their discontent towards the previous Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, whom they now considered a failure.
"Fear? What should we be afraid of?"
After listening to his subordinates' concerns.
A coldness took over the Mizukage's eyes. With unshakeable confidence, he declared: "If the Konoha army dares to counterattack, our ninjas will respond with equal ferocity. Don't worry, Luo Lei will fall by my hands."
"Oh..."
An astonished silence followed his words.
Yagura, Tsurugi, and the others were left open-mouthed, evidently surprised by the Mizukage's arrogance.
Although they found it hard to admit.
Doubt persisted: Considering Luo Lei's impressive track record, could the Mizukage really face him?
"Don't worry, I have an ace up my sleeve." he added.
Sensing the doubts of Yagura and the others, the Mizukage scanned the room with a cold look and declared: "Luo Lei will fall before me. There's nothing more to discuss about it."
"The meeting is concluded."
Despite the multiple doubts bubbling in their minds,
Yagura, Tsurugi, and the other leaders opted for prudence and remained silent.
'Perhaps he really does possess a secret weapon.' they thought.
"Luo Lei, you've forced me to go to these extremes."
Once Yagura and the others had left, the Mizukage's eyes shone with madness. Slowly, he extracted a pair of Sharingan from his sleeves.
Yes, Sharingan.
Just a few days ago, a mysterious masked man, proclaiming himself as the legendary Madara Uchiha, had burst into his office.
After easily defeating him, he had offered him a tempting deal: the supreme power of the Uchiha clan in exchange for his cooperation, assuring him that with it he could defeat Luo Lei.
Originally, the Mizukage would have preferred to avoid unnecessary risks if Luo Lei arrived in the Land of Waves.
However, now that he possessed the Sharingan, his determination had strengthened.
'Since I'm here.' he thought, 'Although victory isn't guaranteed, I'll use this borrowed power to defeat you, Luo Lei.'
