Chapter 61: Revival, The Eyes Known as the Mangekyou Sharingan

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist... You're all as good as dead," Mirai murmured to himself, dashing swiftly through the dense forest. He could sense three figures moving rapidly in his range.

He soon caught up to the first.

"Die!"

With a flash of his blade, a head flew into the air. Without sparing a glance at the fallen half of the massive blade, Mirai seized the severed head of Jūzō and took off toward his next target. With his immense stamina over 500 points, his speed was unmatched, barreling straight through trees, snapping them like twigs in his path.

In an instant, he was upon Raiga and Fuguki.

"He's caught up!"

Seeing Mirai approach, Fuguki didn't hesitate for a second. He slammed the Samehada into Raiga's back, shoving him forward. Raiga, caught off guard by Fuguki's ruthless attack, was instantly incapacitated.

"Don't blame me, Raiga. You betrayed us first," Fuguki sneered, lifting Raiga's body and hurling it at Mirai.

Mirai swung his sword, slicing Raiga clean in half. In a flash, he stood face to face with Fuguki Suikazan.

"Kid… you're dead!"

In this life-or-death moment, Fuguki's killer instinct flared. As long as this kid wasn't a monster like that last one, he couldn't lose in a one-on-one fight! Fuguki raised the Samehada and swung it down at Mirai.

Mirai stood firm, meeting the attack head-on with his own sword. A twisted grin spread across Fuguki's face—this brat dared to clash with Samehada?

Clang!

As the Samehada collided with Mirai's sword, Fuguki felt it tearing chakra from his opponent's body. But Mirai didn't weaken as he had hoped. Instead, taking advantage of the moment, Mirai closed the gap and swept his blade across.

Fuguki tried to evade but felt his vision blur as a complex, eerie pattern appeared before him.

"Those eyes…!!!"

Slash!

Before he could finish his sentence, Fuguki's head was severed cleanly from his body.

After collecting the three swords, Mirai hoisted the heads of Fuguki, Jūzō, and Raiga and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique. In the next instant, he appeared beside Might Guy.

"Mirai? Why are you here?" Guy asked, surprised by Mirai's sudden appearance.

Smack!

A sharp slap echoed as Mirai's hand connected with Guy's cheek. Guy clutched his face, bowing his head.

"What did I tell you?" Mirai's voice was cold. "Why didn't you tell me when you left the village?"

"I'm sorry," Guy murmured, his voice trembling. "It was late, and I didn't want to disturb you…"

Mirai had warned him that if he ever had a mission requiring him to leave the village, he should notify him immediately. But this time, when he and his father received the mission, it was almost midnight, and he'd hesitated. In the end, he didn't inform Mirai. Now his father had opened the Eighth Gate to save him... and was already…

If he had just chosen to tell Mirai, would things have turned out differently?

Guy fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face as guilt consumed him, blaming himself for his father's fate.

"Guy, step aside," Mirai said.

Guy looked up, confused, but stepped back when he saw Mirai's eyes. His shock was unmistakable.

"Mirai… your eyes…"

"We'll discuss the eyes later. Step back for now."

Noting the unusual shape of Mirai's Sharingan, Guy quickly stood and moved to the side.

Mirai approached the lifeless body of Might Duy and gently placed his hand over it. With a surge of overwhelming, fierce chakra, Duy's charred body began to heal, and the spark of life returned. Within moments, he had been miraculously restored to his original state.

As this happened, blood began to trickle down from Mirai's left eye.

"Guy… What's going on?" Duy asked, confusion filling his gaze as he opened his eyes.

"Father!" Guy leaped into Duy's arms, sobbing openly. He'd thought he'd never see his father again. But here he was, miraculously revived.

"Guy, calm down and tell me what happened… And Mirai, why are you here too?" Duy asked, turning to Mirai with confusion. He then noticed something strange in Mirai's eyes—a mysterious design in place of the usual three tomoe.

"Father, it was Mirai who saved you," Guy explained, his voice brimming with emotion. "He brought you back to life!"

"Huh?" Duy gaped at Mirai, unable to process what he was hearing.

Could Mirai actually have the power to bring someone back from the dead?

Guy, suddenly aware, sneaked a wary glance at Mirai, taking in the calm expression on his face. Only then did he dare to hide behind Duy and ask in a small voice,

"Mirai, what's going on? And your eyes… they've changed!"

Mirai glanced around to ensure they were alone, using his sensory abilities to confirm. Then he explained calmly.

"These eyes are called the Mangekyou Sharingan. They surpass the three-tomoe Sharingan."

Duy and Guy were both puzzled at first, but as Mirai continued, their eyes widened in disbelief.

"When I say 'Mangekyou,' I mean the same eyes Uchiha Madara had in his time."

Hearing this, Duy and Guy were dumbfounded, mouths agape.

As Konoha shinobi, they were well aware of the legend of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. Together, these two pushed the Warring States Period to its end. No one could stand against them.

And now… did Mirai truly possess the same eyes as Madara?!
