Chapter 19

Haruki looked at the large screen in front of him.

The empty room appeared on the display.

Moments later, Yuta Kawagoe's figure appeared.

"Lord Haruki, everything is ready."

"Okay."

Haruki turned his head, looked at him, and instructed, "When Mikoto Uchiha arrives, have her wait for me in this room."

"Yes."

Yuta Kawagoe disappeared again.

Haruki created a new document on the computer.

[Sharingan Experiment

First Group: April 13

Subject: Mikoto Uchiha

Initial Method: Genjutsu

Stimulus: Family Bonds

Result: Unknown]

In the original work, Mikoto Uchiha's personality was gentle and kind, especially caring for her husband and sons.

On the night of the clan's extermination.

She died without resistance at the hands of Itachi Uchiha, and even asked him to take care of his brother, Sasuke Uchiha.

She was a traditional Yamato Nadeshiko.

Perhaps she was helpless.

She lacked the power to prevent the bloodshed between family members.

Haruki glanced at the screen.

Mikoto Uchiha was already waiting at the door.

He got up and changed into a white outfit.

The triggers for genjutsu are varied.

But the most typical one involves the eyes.

"Mikoto."

Hearing Haruki's voice, Mikoto Uchiha turned around and saw him in white clothing.

An ethereal temperament, like an immortal in the mortal world.

Mikoto Uchiha felt a moment of daze.

No wonder Kushina always talked about wanting to marry Haruki.

"Teacher." She greeted.

"Mm, follow me."

Haruki opened the door and, after entering the room, took a scroll from the bookshelf.

"Mikoto, you haven't come into contact with B-level ninjutsu, right?"

"No."

Mikoto Uchiha shook her head.

Although she was from the Uchiha clan, her talent was not high, only at the level of a genin.

Learning a C-level Fire Release was already an advantage of being from a noble family.

Ordinary genin would only know the basic three jutsu or shuriken and kunai throwing techniques.

By normal standards, Haruki's three students could basically participate in the Chunin Exams.

"I'm offering you a gift in advance, teaching you a few B-level Fire Release jutsu of the Uchiha clan." Haruki handed her the scroll.

"Thank you, teacher."

"Having explained everything, you can now train with Minato and Kushina."

"Yes."

Haruki took her to the Third Training Ground.

With his soldier pills and medical ninjutsu assistance, they completed the training in two weeks.

They went to the border.

The trio, due to their strong abilities, completed many missions.

After the war ended, they were promoted to chunin.

But due to her parents, Mikoto Uchiha returned to the clan and married Fugaku Uchiha.

Life was good.

She gave birth to Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha.

She dearly loved her two sons.

But the good times didn't last long; the Uchiha clan attempted a coup.

In the end, tragedy struck.

Influenced by the Will of Fire from Konoha, Itachi Uchiha turned his blade against his own clan.

Mikoto Uchiha stood dazed, listening to the screams around her.

The blood seemed to dye the moon red.

"No!"

Mikoto Uchiha instinctively reached out her hand.

She could only touch the fallen Fugaku Uchiha.

"Itachi! He's your father!"

Itachi Uchiha, expressionless, plunged the short sword into six-year-old Sasuke Uchiha's body without mercy.

Blood dripped onto him, reflecting Itachi's coldness.

Mikoto Uchiha looked at her unfamiliar son in despair.

Brainwashed by Konoha.

Destroyed the clan for the village.

But those eyes, only recorded in ancient texts.

The Mangekyo Sharingan.

In front of them, she had no chance, could do nothing, save no one.

Her clansmen, friends, parents, husband, sons.

All died before her eyes.

"Ah!"

Mikoto Uchiha screamed madly, like a lunatic, or a cry of the weak.

Her voice crossed the deep night.

Blood flowed from her eyes.

The world seemed to turn red.

Three tomoe slowly rotated.

A vast and boundless power filled Mikoto Uchiha's body.

Without time to think, she rushed at Itachi Uchiha.

Itachi Uchiha hesitated for a moment, then swung his sword.

But in Mikoto Uchiha's eyes, his movements became extremely slow.

Her own speed was like lightning.

She plunged the kunai into his heart.

Seeing Itachi Uchiha's stunned expression, she showed a pleased yet mad smile.

A cracking sound.

Like a window shattering.

Mikoto Uchiha suddenly looked up.

A familiar yet unfamiliar room.

Memories filled her mind bit by bit.

Itachi Uchiha seemed like a distant dream, gradually fading from her emotions.

Mikoto Uchiha looked around the room, noticing the shoddy and rough traces.

Genjutsu.

She frowned.

But soon felt exhausted.

Especially in her eyes.

"Turn off your Sharingan."

Haruki appeared in front of her, "With your current chakra, maintaining it for long is too much of a burden."

"Sharingan?"

Mikoto Uchiha suddenly woke up.

Her current feelings were exactly as her clan had described.

Thinking of the genjutsu.

She deactivated the Sharingan and stood up, realizing her clothes were soaked with sweat.

The genjutsu was fake, but the feelings were real.

And the content was extremely vicious!

Which bastard came up with this vile plot?

Mikoto Uchiha instinctively looked at Haruki.

"It wasn't me; it was Yuta Kawagoe who set up the genjutsu."

Haruki knew she had resentment; anyone would after experiencing such a scenario.

He hesitated a bit.

In the original work, it seemed the Uchiha clan didn't fully understand the evolution of the Sharingan. Even the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had deeper research.

"Who is he?" Mikoto Uchiha asked, rubbing her eyes.

"A jonin skilled in genjutsu. If you want to vent your anger, you can challenge him."

Haruki didn't hesitate to sell out his teammate, "But your Sharingan is newly awakened and unstable. I suggest you wait a while."

Mikoto Uchiha suddenly smiled, "Teacher, you're not going to explain anything?"

Haruki helplessly tapped his forehead.

"I thought you wouldn't ask. But since you want to know, I'll tell you. The Sharingan's awakening requires emotional stimulation, more accurately, understanding love and then losing it."

Mikoto Uchiha was slightly stunned.

This explained the extreme content of the genjutsu.

"But teacher, how did you know? Our clan's texts never mention these things."

"The stone tablet at Naka Shrine."

Mikoto Uchiha was even more puzzled.

She didn't know about the stone tablet, but Naka Shrine was the Uchiha clan's ancestral land. How had Haruki seen it?

"Now that you've awakened the Sharingan, you can view the inscriptions on the tablet, though only a part of it. It might clear up many of your doubts, but I advise you to wait until you're strong enough."

Haruki paused, then smiled, "As for why I know so much, it's too complex to explain in a few words. Also, your current strength doesn't allow you to know."

"I understand."

Mikoto Uchiha took a deep breath and asked, "Teacher, the content of the genjutsu was fake, right?"

Thinking of the experiences in the genjutsu, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Of course, it was fake," Haruki replied.
