Senju Tobirama: "Open your eyes. It's better than the one in the original world; it can keep a single tomoe forever."
Senju Hashirama: "I think it's amazing to awaken the Sharingan at the age of seven. Madara, I remember you awakened yours when you were separated from me? How old were you then..."
Uchiha Madara: "Hashirama, shut up!"
How did this conversation become about him?
Terumi Mei: "The famous Ninja Shura awakened his Sharingan because he was separated from the First Hokage? How touching!"
Jiraiya: "This is Konoha's special bond; it's been there since the First Hokage."
Senju Tobirama: "I've always felt that the relationship between you and Uchiha Madara was not normal—too close."
He even thought his own brother might be no match for him!
Uzumaki Mito: "Indeed."
Senju Hashirama: "Tobirama, Mito, stop it!"
Hatake Kakashi: "Hey, weren't we talking about Sasuke's Sharingan?"
Orochimaru: "I have a hunch that one tomoe might not be the upper limit for this Sasuke."
Uchiha Sasuke was equally curious.
It's all still him, so why is there such a big difference between himself and the parallel world version?
[He returned to his home.]
[His parents' bodies were no longer there; maybe they had been taken away.]
[Only two pools of dried blood remained at the spot.]
[Just last night, right here!]
[His parents were killed—killed by Uchiha Itachi!]
[Intense pain, anger, and hatred surged into Sasuke's heart.]
[The single tomoe in his Sharingan gradually began to spin, and the speed increased.]
[The dark tomoe left an afterimage and gradually split into two.]
[Two-tomoe Sharingan—both eyes with double tomoe!]
"Is this double-tomoe?!"
In the real world, Uchiha Sasuke felt a pang of jealousy.
This was too unfair!
He awakened his first tomoe on the night of the massacre, but couldn't advance it for a long time.
Later, in the Land of Waves, his Sharingan finally evolved, with one eye developing a second tomoe.
As for double-tomoe in both eyes, it wasn't until much later.
But the Sasuke in the parallel world, on the second day after the massacre, just awakened his Sharingan and immediately achieved double-tomoe!
Why is there such a huge gap?!
Hatake Kakashi: "The Sasuke in the parallel world seems to have better talent..."
Kakashi looked at his own Sasuke, comparing him to the one on the gold-framed screen.
The difference was almost unbelievable!
From mental maturity to mental strength to the talent of the Sharingan—Sasuke was crushed in every way!
Orochimaru: "Look, it's not over yet!"
[On the gold-framed screen, after Sasuke's eyes evolved into double-tomoe, the tomoe in his scarlet pupils didn't stop spinning!]
[His emotions became more intense!]
[The power in both eyes became more and more active!]
[The tomoe in his eyes spun faster and faster!]
[Suddenly!]
[An Anbu appeared and put a hand on Uchiha Sasuke's shoulder:]
["Calm down, control your emotions. If you can't bear it, I'll take you away now."]
[Sasuke's emotions paused.]
[He detached from the overwhelming and intense feelings he had just experienced.]
[The black tomoe in his eyes stopped spinning.]
[The scarlet faded, and his original black pupils returned.]
["No, I can handle it," Sasuke said.]
Orochimaru: "??? That's it? Who is that Anbu? Mind your own business!"
He had been looking forward to seeing if this parallel world Sasuke could unlock the three-tomoe Sharingan.
But an Anbu came out of nowhere and interrupted the process.
With his emotions disrupted, how could the Sharingan continue to advance?
Senju Hashirama: "Don't rush things. At such a young age, having a strong Sharingan may not be a good thing—it could put a strain on the body."
Sarutobi Hiruzen: "The First Hokage is right! I think the Anbu did the right thing. Sasuke's health should come before the evolution of his Sharingan."
Truthfully, Sarutobi Hiruzen had been a little frightened just now!
Only 7 years old, and his Sharingan was already on the verge of evolving into three-tomoe!
If this child grows up, what will happen then?
Moreover, this Uchiha Sasuke in the parallel world clearly has doubts about the truth behind the massacre.
That's even more worrisome!
Hatake Kakashi: "Indeed, the Sharingan does put a heavy burden on the body."
Orochimaru: "That's because you're not an Uchiha by blood!"
Jiraiya: "There's no need to worry too much about power. It's okay to start slow; you can always catch up later. Sometimes, those who start slow finish strong."
Orochimaru: "Heh!"
From Orochimaru's perspective, concerns about physical strain were trivial—there are always ways to overcome them.
If the Sharingan is too much for the body, try transplanting cells from the First Hokage.
That's what Danzo did, and he's still alive and well, isn't he?
For Orochimaru, bloodline and talent are paramount!
If the Sasuke from the parallel world hadn't been interrupted by that Anbu, he might have unlocked the three-tomoe Sharingan right there!
It's not impossible that he could evolve even further!
If that didn't work, take Uchiha Fugaku's body out and give Sasuke a push.
If that fails, strike the corpse a few times to stimulate him again!
One way or another, he would gain a Mangekyō Sharingan.
The talent of this Sasuke's Sharingan is too great to waste!
Uchiha Fugaku: "The Sasuke from this parallel world has a stronger Sharingan talent than Itachi."
Uchiha Mikoto: "I hope Sasuke can protect himself."
[Sasuke wandered alone through his empty, lifeless home.]
[He sorted through his parents' belongings, as well as his own, deciding what to take with him.]
[His parents' everyday items...]
[Family photos...]
[Ninjutsu scrolls...]
[Miscellaneous books...]
[He packed them all up and took them with him.]
[And then, he bid farewell to this home.]
[After that, Sasuke moved to the new residence arranged by the Third Hokage, guided by the Anbu.]
[In the evening, while Sasuke was at his new place, going through the things he had brought back]
[He found a book among them: "The History of Konoha," published by the Uchiha family.]
