Chapter 80: Awakening! Mangekyo Sharingan!
Chapter 80: Awakening! Mangekyo Sharingan!
Shockwaves rippled across the ninja world.
The leader of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Konohagakure, had been destroyed!
Uchiha Yi's use of Divine Blaze Repulsion! had obliterated not just his intended targets but virtually everything and everyone in the vicinity.
The news of Konoha's destruction traveled slowly. It took days for the spies of other villages to notice something was amiss.
When they arrived to investigate…
Hiss...
"This... This used to be Konoha, right? How did it turn into a scorched crater?"
Upon closer inspection, the spies found traces of what had once been the Hidden Leaf Village.
The conclusion was undeniable: Konoha had been annihilated by an overwhelming force.
---
News of the destruction spread rapidly, triggering an uproar across the ninja world.
Villages scrambled to dispatch more spies, hoping to uncover the truth.
The consensus was clear—this was the work of a mysterious Uchiha.
But no one, not even the few Konoha survivors, could identify the culprit.
The unknown and devastating power left a dark cloud looming over the entire ninja world.

While the destruction of Konoha brought Uchiha Yi a significant haul of soul points, the most notable development was his Sharingan evolving into the Mangekyo Sharingan during the event.
The Mangekyo awakened two fascinating abilities:
Left Eye: Heat Vision
This allowed Yi to fire superheated beams from his eyes, reaching temperatures up to 6,000°C. These beams could melt metal and destroy structures. The ability could also be combined with his Fire Release techniques, enhancing its effects with elemental properties.
Right Eye: Sage Body
A passive ability that, when the Mangekyo was active, allowed Yi to naturally absorb ambient energy and convert it into Senjutsu chakra. This enabled him to seamlessly enter Sage Mode. Additionally, it nurtured his body, granting him longevity and the potential to evolve into a Sage over time.
---
After understanding his new abilities, Yi's expression turned peculiar.
The combination of powers felt both familiar and distinct.
"Isn't this basically the A** Superman template of the ninja world?"
Heat Vision? Check.
Sage Body? Essentially, Man of Steel.
The resemblance was uncanny.
"Alright, alright!" Yi muttered, half-annoyed. "If this is how it's going to be, I might as well rename myself Uchiha A** and embrace it!"
---
Jokes aside, Yi was delighted with his Mangekyo abilities.
He had been pondering how to counter the chakra-absorbing abilities of the Otsutsuki clan. Learning Sage Mode had been on his to-do list.
But now, with Sage Body as a built-in ability, there was no need to go to the trouble of training.
---
"Let's test this out!"
With a thought, Yi activated his Mangekyo. The three tomoe in his Sharingan spun rapidly, transforming into a fiery sun pattern.
---
"Heat Vision!"
Locking onto a distant tree, Yi released twin beams of superheated energy from his eyes.
Zzzzzzt!
The beams pierced cleanly through the thick trunk, leaving behind charred holes.
A slight adjustment to his line of sight sliced the entire tree cleanly in half.
Crash!
The tree toppled, sending dust into the air.
---
"Let's add Amaterasu: Heat Vision!"
This time, the black flames of Amaterasu merged with the heat beams. When they struck another tree, they not only pierced it but left behind smoldering black flames that continued to consume the wood.
The fusion of Amaterasu and Heat Vision added speed and lethality to the technique, making it far more dangerous in combat.
Yi stopped testing after verifying the basics, as the other Fire Release combinations would yield similar results.
---
Next, Yi turned his attention to the Sage Body ability.
With no effort on his part, his body absorbed natural energy from the environment and converted it into Senjutsu chakra.
After five minutes, he had accumulated enough to activate Sage Mode.
"Sage Mode: Activate!"
With a quiet command, Yi directed the Senjutsu chakra throughout his body. Fiery markings resembling flames appeared across his skin.
His physical capabilities skyrocketed—speed, strength, reflexes, sensory perception, and even ninjutsu potency were amplified several times over.
---
"Sage Art: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
Yi unleashed a fireball at a nearby boulder.
Boom!
The explosion shattered the boulder into countless fragments. Compared to the regular version of the technique, the Sage-enhanced fireball was three to four times more powerful.
---
Yi also noticed that his Sage Body passively restored his Mangekyo's eye power over time. While this meant he didn't have to worry about blindness, the restoration rate was slower than he would like.
Fortunately, Yi had a plan.
When he had absorbed the bloodlines of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto, it wasn't for immediate power—it was to prepare for this very moment.
In Fire Release lore, the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan required the transplantation of a close relative's Mangekyo.
By absorbing Fugaku and Mikoto's bloodlines, Yi had essentially created a genetic connection. This ensured compatibility and paved the way for his own evolution to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
---
However, there was one small issue.
Yi needed someone trustworthy to perform the eye transplant.
---
"Looks like I've burned too many bridges with Konoha," he muttered.
"Even finding a capable assistant has become a challenge."
Sighing, Yi decided not to rush the matter. His current Mangekyo would suffice for now.
"Let's focus on tallying up the gains for now."
