Chapter 2: Uchiha Clan in Shock, Activated Sharingan from a Fall?

[Simulation Start!]

[One month later, you enrolled in the Ninja Academy to learn basic knowledge.]

[Three months later, you finally extracted your first bit of chakra and were influenced by the Will of Fire.]

[Nine months later, you successfully mastered the Cloak of Invisibility Technique.]

[Twelve months later, on the night of the clan's massacre, you witnessed your friends and family die before your eyes. Overwhelmed by fear and anger, you successfully awakened your Sharingan, experienced a surge in chakra, and then... you were killed.]

[Please choose one item to retain after the simulation!]

[Option 1: All knowledge, skills, and combat experience gained.]

[Option 2: The increased amount of chakra.]

[Option 3: The state of bloodline awakening.]

"Eh? I can retain one of the three: skills, chakra, or bloodline? Is this my cheat ability!?"

Seeing the lines of text before him, Uchiha Akira was overjoyed.

It seemed that his cheat ability was quite useful after all!

Choosing between the three options?

Was there even a need to think about it?

The first option was to retain knowledge and skills?

Should he retain the Will of Fire brainwashing!? Or the Cloak of Invisibility Technique?

Speaking of which, wasn't the so-called Cloak of Invisibility just a cloth to cover oneself so that no one could see you?

And the option to retain chakra?

After only one year, he'd barely managed to extract chakra, so it probably wasn't much.

Naturally, he chose the third option!

Upon choosing the third option, Uchiha Akira immediately felt a warm sensation pass through his eyes.

The feeling was very strange, and then his eyes turned crimson.

At the same time, a single tomoe appeared in each of his eyes!

As the Sharingan successfully awakened, Uchiha Akira could feel a surge of powerful chakra within his body!

"Ah!? Akira, your eyes..."

Seeing the activation of the Sharingan, Sasuke, who was standing nearby, noticed immediately and shouted in surprise.

"Hmm, it seems I've awakened the Sharingan!" Uchiha Akira nodded.

It was a strange feeling; in the state of the activated Sharingan, his dynamic vision and other senses were significantly enhanced!

Originally, Sasuke was planning to take Uchiha Akira to go shopping.

But now, with his leg injured from the fall...

And having just awakened his Sharingan, it was impossible to go shopping anymore!

…

At the Uchiha Clan's compound.

Although the Uchiha Clan was nominally the most prestigious family in the Hidden Leaf Village and one of the village's founders, their compound still occupied the largest area in the village.

However, if one looked closely, it was evident that the Uchiha compound had already been pushed to the outskirts of the village.

At this time, in the clan leader's house, several Uchiha elders were gathered with the clan leader, Fugaku.

"Recently, the higher-ups of the Hidden Leaf Village have been increasingly marginalizing our Uchiha clan!"

"Yes, especially a few years ago, during the Nine-Tails' attack, some people saw the Sharingan reflected in the Nine-Tails' eyes. Because of this, our Uchiha clan has had an even harder time!"

"Originally, having Itachi join the Anbu was supposed to help ease tensions with the village's higher-ups, but the situation has not improved as expected!"

…

The Uchiha elders took turns expressing their concerns about the clan's future.

Uchiha Fugaku remained silent.

He was well aware of the Uchiha clan's current difficulties!

Seeing the attitudes of the elders, Fugaku knew that the Uchiha clan had become increasingly resentful of the Hidden Leaf Village due to the pressure from the village's higher-ups.

Many within the clan were already contemplating a coup!

However, Fugaku also knew that the Uchiha clan alone could not possibly take on the entire Hidden Leaf Village!

It was fortunate that the clan members didn't know he had already awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Otherwise, the desire to launch a coup would no longer be a subtle hint but a direct demand!

Knock, knock, knock!

Just as the elders and Fugaku were discussing the Uchiha clan's future, there was a sudden knock on the door!

"What is it?" Fugaku asked, somewhat relaxed since they were at home and not in a formal meeting room.

"It's news from the Great Elder's family— Master Uchiha Akira has awakened his Sharingan!" came the voice from outside the door.

An elderly man, around sixty years old, immediately stood up upon hearing this: "Clan Leader, I have urgent matters at home, so I'll take my leave now!"

Without waiting for Fugaku's response, the elder hurriedly turned and left!

"The Great Elder truly cares for his grandson!" another elder remarked.

"He has no choice; the Great Elder only has that one grandson, so of course, he treasures him!"

"But, as far as I know, Akira's talent isn't particularly high, is it?"

"Indeed, I've heard that he hasn't even managed to extract chakra yet. So how did he suddenly awaken his Sharingan?"

…

The elders began discussing in low voices.

On one hand, as the Great Elder's grandson, Uchiha Akira had garnered quite a bit of attention within the Uchiha clan.

On the other hand, his rather poor talent had been a source of disappointment for many.

But for someone with no ninja talent, who hadn't even extracted chakra yet, to suddenly awaken the Sharingan at six years old?

It was as unbelievable as a well-known fool suddenly writing a literary masterpiece!

"Did something happen to Akira?" Fugaku asked after a moment of silence, addressing the person outside the door.

The awakening and evolution of the Sharingan were always accompanied by intense pain.

For someone with no ninja talent, who hadn't even extracted chakra, to suddenly awaken the Sharingan?

Fugaku was curious—what had happened to Akira to cause such intense emotional stimulation?

"Clan Leader, well..." The Uchiha clansman standing outside the door had a very strange expression.

Inside the room, Fugaku and the elders were all staring at him curiously.

Everyone in the Uchiha clan knew about the Sharingan.

So, they were all curious about what had happened to Akira to trigger its awakening.

But the clansman's attitude seemed odd!

"Clan Leader, Master Akira... he fell from a tree, injured his leg, and then awakened his Sharingan!" the clansman finally answered under the weight of everyone's gaze.

Silence...

Hearing this, the room fell into a dead silence.
