Chapter 2: If You Can't Win, Run

The Uchiha had given so much to the village over the years.

They had practically poured their hearts and souls into it, giving everything they had.

The Uchiha clan was hated by all the great nations of the ninja world.

"No, I'm not just talking about leaving Konoha, but leaving the ninja world entirely."

Raion spoke slowly.

The three elders exchanged glances, not understanding what Raion meant.

Could they go live in the spirit world or something?

"Raion, what do you mean? Is there another place suitable for us to live?"

Elder Setsuna asked, confused.

Raion gently closed his eyes, and when he opened them again...

The tomoe in his eyes connected, instantly forming a slowly opening triangle.

In an instant!

The entire room was filled with a cold and evil chakra.

This chakra sent chills down the spines of the three elders.

A cold gaze swept over them.

"This is! The Mangekyo Sharingan!"

Elder Setsuna trembled with excitement, staring in awe at the pattern in Raion's eyes.

His hands couldn't stop shaking, as if he was seeing Uchiha Madara himself.

To be honest, this pair of eyes hadn't appeared in the Uchiha clan for a very long time.

He was right. Raion was the one who could truly lead the Uchiha to glory.

As for Uchiha Fugaku, that weakling, the Uchiha would surely decline under his leadership.

The other two elders also had excited expressions, their bodies trembling.

They were all veterans of the Uchiha clan.

Although they hadn't fought alongside Uchiha Madara...

They had seen him control the Nine-Tails and attack Konoha.

That terrifying power, they still couldn't forget it even now.

"That's right! This is my Mangekyo Sharingan. I awakened it half a year ago."

"I once wanted to change the situation of our Uchiha clan, so I unknowingly gained this power."

Raion sighed. What use was one Mangekyo Sharingan?

Unless they added Shisui and Fugaku's Mangekyo, they might be able to clash with Konoha.

Konoha's development over the years was no joke.

Their systems were well-established, and they had never stopped taking steps against the Uchiha clan.

"No! With you, we can conquer Konoha! The Hokage position will finally belong to the Uchiha!"

Uchiha Hiishi couldn't help but say, the excitement in his eyes uncontainable.

Since Madara left, the number of Uchiha awakening the Mangekyo had dwindled.

In this era of peace, they didn't even have anyone awakening the Mangekyo anymore.

Raion's appearance gave them real hope.

"Hiishi, calm down!"

Setsuna shot a cold glance, and the room instantly felt like a gust of cold air had entered.

Uchiha Hiishi's face froze. He glanced at Uchiha Setsuna and fell silent.

"One Mangekyo Sharingan alone can't do anything to Konoha. Konoha is well-equipped in all aspects now. And do you think that despicable Tobirama didn't leave behind techniques to counter our Uchiha clan?"

Uchiha Setsuna sighed. Senju Tobirama was undeniably a remarkable figure, but his focus was entirely on countering the Uchiha.

The Uchiha excelled in Fire Release, so Tobirama used Water Release.

They were good at observing enemies with the Sharingan and disrupting them with genjutsu.

Tobirama developed the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique to seal their Sharingan.

In the ninja world, the one who understood you the most was bound to be your enemy.

With the information Tobirama left behind all these years, who knew how many techniques the Konoha higher-ups had developed to deal with them.

Raion might just step outside with his Susanoo activated, only to be met with a sealing jutsu appearing out of thin air.

"Yes! Even with a Mangekyo on our side, it's not enough. Unless we have invincible power like Lord Madara."

"Raion, don't reveal your Mangekyo's power outside, lest Konoha becomes wary. You're our Uchiha's last hope."

Uchiha Umi said with a sigh.

"..."

Why did they start praising Uchiha Madara all of a sudden?

Raion sat there with a strange expression, as if the impact of his Mangekyo wasn't enough.

"I'm not talking about attacking Konoha with the Mangekyo Sharingan, but using my ocular jutsu to find a way out for our Uchiha clan."

"Ocular jutsu? What's your jutsu?"

Elder Setsuna, hearing there was a way out, asked eagerly.

He had once promised Madara to lead the Uchiha clan to prosperity.

But now, the Uchiha clan was on the verge of being slaughtered by Konoha.

Hearing there was a glimmer of hope, all he wanted to do now was seize it.

To restore the Uchiha clan's power.

"When I awakened my ocular jutsu, I discovered that my eyes are connected to another world, a world full of vitality. So this is the last hope for our Uchiha clan."

"We can't stay in Konoha anymore. Since that's the case, we can only relocate, recover our strength, and then return to Konoha to reclaim what we've lost."

The three of them widened their eyes upon hearing Raion's words, looking at him in disbelief.

They didn't expect such an ocular jutsu to exist. 

But the Mangekyo Sharingan of their Uchiha clan was full of mystery, each pair of eyes carrying a different power.

Raion's words made their hearts race uncontrollably.

Another world, filled with the unknown, also held opportunities.

Who knew how much wealth and resources awaited them there.

"Good, with such power, we can definitely make the Uchiha clan rise again."

"Let's not delay any longer. Let's gather the clansmen and set off."

Uchiha Setsuna exclaimed excitedly.

As for the potential dangers...

When had the Uchiha clan ever feared danger?

"Wait, you're not going to just go like that, are you?"

Raion was taken aback, not expecting these people to be so reckless.

Shouldn't they discuss a strategy or something?

Elder Setsuna laughed heartily, his face filled with pride. "Hahaha, our Uchiha clan lacks nothing. Do we need to bring anything?"

Raion's mouth twitched. He really couldn't trust these brainless guys.

And the only few with brains in the clan were also the most extreme ones.

"I think your idea is completely wrong, Elder Setsuna. How can you have such a dangerous thought?"

Raion snorted coldly, stopping Elder Setsuna.

The three elders exchanged glances, seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Wasn't this how the Uchiha clan always operated?

Was this idea dangerous?

None of the three elders felt there was a problem.

"Then what's your plan?"

Elder Setsuna decided to hear Raion's opinion.

Raion was someone he valued, and besides, those eyes were on him.

"I think our strength is too weak.

We need to start from scratch in that world. There are no ninja there, so we must take everything we need."
