The Awakening of the Mangekyo Sharingan

"Danzo-sama has given orders. The Uchiha Clan is responsible for protecting civilians in the shelter. No members are allowed to go to the battlefield."

Several members of the Root Organization blocked Shintaro's path.

Shintaro's face looked grim; he had just persuaded Fugaku to let him go to the battlefield, and now he was stopped by Danzo's men.

The Kyuubi had been wreaking havoc in the village for some time, and Konoha might suffer greater losses if he didn't appear.

Moreover, Shintaro was still worried about the safety of several people he cared about, so he was determined to rush to the battlefield.

"I'll say it again, get out of the way!"

Shintaro extended his finger, and a red light suddenly appeared.

"Uchiha Shintaro! What are you trying to do?!"

"Taking action against members of the Root Organization is tantamount to betraying the village!"

Several Root ninjas in front of Shintaro drew their swords one after another, but they were already at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

*BOOM*

Shintaro shattered the ground between both sides with a sudden explosion, and the dust and smoke generated by the blast swept over everyone.

The Root Organization ninjas still maintained a defensive posture, as if they were too afraid to move.

Shintaro slowly stepped into the dust cloud that had not fully dissipated, with no dust particles touching his body, and walked toward the leading Root ninja.

"You rats from the Root Organization don't want to fight for the village when Konoha is in crisis, but you still dare to accuse me of betraying the village."

"If I were rebelling against the village, you'd be dead by now."

"If you dare to stop me again, I'll treat you as traitors."

After saying this, Shintaro passed by the group and rushed out of the village.

The Root Organization members just resumed their operations.

"What was that? Why couldn't we move?"

"Uchiha Shintaro is so domineering! I have to report this to Danzo-sama."

"Too arrogant!"

Some members of the Root Organization were discussing it, looking at the large area destroyed by Shintaro's casual attack, but they still didn't know how he immobilized them.

In fact, what Shintaro had just used was the Shadow Curse Technique, which had not appeared for a long time.

Using the large cover of smoke and dust blown up by [Red], he secretly used the Shadow Curse Technique and controlled the Root members in an instant.

So much so that no Root members noticed the shadows under their feet, and naturally became confused. At this moment, Shintaro was already using his fastest speed, to the point that he seemed to be flying in the air.

Under the influence of the previous technique, [Blue] transformed into a blue meteor and quickly flew toward Kyuubi outside the village.

Kyuubi was still causing destruction everywhere, and the waves of ninjas arriving could not stop Kyuubi's advance.

Seeing Kyuubi trying to break into Konoha again.

At this moment, a thin figure carrying a ninja sword and wearing a Jonin vest appeared in front of Kyuubi.

"Jonin Shinku, I'll cover you!" One of the Konoha ninjas responsible for the cover shouted enthusiastically.

"Thank you very much. I need to get to Kyuubi to perform genjutsu, and I want you to buy me some time."

"This is what we should do. With your level of genjutsu, we can definitely stop Kyuubi!"

"I can only do my best, let's go!" Shinku gave the order, and everyone leaped forward.

Kyuubi swung its claw, and the large claw struck down, instantly sending the bodies of several covering ninjas flying away.

However, Shinku leaped onto Kyuubi's head stealthily.

Kyuubi's eyes were fixed on Shinku, still the color of the red three magatama.

There was no time to mourn his comrades, Kyuubi's claw struck again, Kyuubi's claw stabbing Shinku standing between its eyes with its sharp claws.

"Look into my eyes! Kyuubi!"

Shinku shouted loudly and quickly formed seals with his hands.

"[Magen: Jubaku Satsu]."

With his extraordinary genjutsu ability, Shinku wanted to use this enhanced version of [Magen: Jubaku Satsu] to control Kyuubi in one move.

There were two reasons for using [Magen: Jubaku Satsu], one because of proficiency, and the other because Mokuton had a restraining effect on Kyuubi. Therefore, even though he did not know how to use the original Mokuton, Shinku still wanted to try relying on genjutsu.

From Kyuubi's perspective, it was suddenly entangled and bound by a giant tree, and the claw stabbing Shinku also stopped in mid-air.

"ROAARRR!!!"

Kyuubi let out a rumbling sound, and the airwave shook the trees within a hundred meters radius, bending them.

"Did it work?... Great..."

*Pu-chi*

Shinku had just felt a bit of excitement and was still thinking about the next step when suddenly his chest was pierced.

He immediately felt the power drain from his body, a sign of losing a lot of blood. He looked at his chest, only to see Kyuubi's sharp claws stabbing through it.

"Cough... seems like it didn't work after all..."

Shinku spat out a mouthful of red blood, which looked dazzling as it fell onto Kyuubi's white claws.

His vision began to blur, and what he saw in a daze was the image of his daughter Hong.

"Sorry... I can't see you get married and have children... Kurenai..."

Kyuubi gradually broke free from the genjutsu control, and its claw sank deeper.

At this moment, the claw was suddenly withdrawn, and Shinku began to fall.

In the air, what Shinku saw was a white-haired boy.

"Shintaro..."

Shintaro pulled back Kyuubi's claw and then struck Kyuubi with a single blow.

However, he did not continue to fight Kyuubi. After forcing Kyuubi away, he immediately flew toward Shinku and picked him up.

"You finally arrived... It's up to you to defeat Kyuubi..."

"And Kurenai... you all... cough..."

Shintaro saw the large bloody hole in Shinku's chest and couldn't speak.

It wasn't pierced by an ordinary ninja sword or kunai, but by Kyuubi's sharp claw.

There was nothing left in Shinku's chest, only remnants of skin and flesh connecting the body into two parts.

Such an injury couldn't be saved even if Tsunade were here.

Shintaro landed on the ground, placed Shinku down, squatted, and helped him close his eyes.

"Sorry, Uncle Shinku, I can't be mad at you right now."

"ROAARRR!"

Kyuubi roared, just having been defeated by genjutsu.

"I feel so comfortable right now." Shintaro stood up.

Kyuubi rushed forward, and after a moment the ground shook, it appeared behind Shintaro and slapped with one claw.

*BAAM*

However, after the dust and smoke in the sky cleared, Kyuubi was surprised to find that the boy in front of him was uninjured.

"The exhilarating sense of power so I can't feel any other emotions."

Shintaro raised his head, and his eyes suddenly widened.

The color was still blue, but it had a pair of clean white five-pointed star patterns.

At this moment, the Six Eyes and Mangekyo Sharingan were integrated.

"Throughout heaven and Earth... I alone am the honored one."
