JST Chapter 132: The Eyes That Pierce the Future
🕑 Added 2024-12-19 20:21:53 +0000 UTC"Fugaku, you should think carefully about what you consider your efforts to improve the Uchiha clan…" Yakushi sighed. "I know what you feel, but the truth is that the clan members have chosen Kazuki. You, as the leader, are becoming more and more of a figurehead. It must not be easy for you…"
"But there's nothing you can do. The Uchiha clan is a clan that worships the strong. Your efforts, compared to actual achievements, are no longer considered by anyone. It's time to leave your idealism behind and accept the arrival of a new era."
"The future is clearly in Kazuki-sama's hands. It doesn't matter if we talk about power or vision. The difference between you and him is too great."
A sharp pain pierced Uchiha Fugaku's heart.
Yakushi, who had been his strongest support and closest friend, now said this!
Fugaku didn't ask for much. He just wanted to know what was happening in the Root and the movements of the Uchiha clan members, was that really so difficult to tell him?
"Yakushi, for our friendship..."
Fugaku began to speak but was rudely interrupted by Yakushi.
"Fugaku, because of the friendship we had, I can keep quiet about what you're trying to find out about Kazuki-sama. I'll act as if it never happened…"
"But only this time, and the last time."
"Fugaku, your eyes are not strong enough and you do not see the bright future. Accept this fact."
Without another word, Yakushi turned around and walked away.
Fugaku clenched his fists tightly. Seeing his friend walking away and hearing his sharp words, his Sharingan activated, the tomoe began to spin rapidly, before quickly connecting into a pattern. He muttered to himself: "Kazuki, I am not inferior to you."
"These eyes can see the future that no one can see!"
“My left eye is able to foresee the future!”
In Fugaku's eyes, the pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan flashed, and the cold pupil power seemed to make the temperature of the room drop a few degrees.
"Uchiha Yakushi, you don't believe that I can see the future of the Uchiha clan, right?"
“I’m telling you, you’re wrong!” Fugaku raised his hand to his forehead, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. Pupil power was unleashed at that moment!
He had to see the future of the Uchiha clan, see how he and his family would reach the top in the future.
Blood began to pour from his left eye, soaking his cheek.
"How is it possible? How is it possible that I can't see it!"
A moment later, Fugaku muttered in disbelief.
When he tried to predict the future of himself, the Uchiha clan, Kazuki, and even the shinobi world, all he saw was a thick fog, with vague shadows of some figures moving through it.
"No, I can do it!"
Fugaku screamed, remembering his lost friend and the image of his son, who had not yet turned a year old…
Fugaku continued to force his eye power, further pressing his newly awakened Mangekyo, intending to use his eye power as a light to pierce through the fog of the future…
In his eyes, blood veins were expanding across the whiteness of his eyes, and the bright red of his pupils was beginning to fade. Due to the large amount of blood spilled, the eyeball even showed signs of rupture.
But Fugaku didn't stop.
Before his eyes, the fog of the future seemed to dissipate a little, but there were still no clear images.
Fugaku, enduring the heart-wrenching pain in his eyes, muttered to himself: “For the Uchiha clan, for Konoha, for my future, and for Itachi’s life, I must find a way to succeed with my ocular ability!”
The Mangekyo began to fade, but Fugaku focused on Kazuki, the Uchiha clan, the shinobi world, Itachi, and himself, searching for the future that would be most beneficial to him.
Finally, when his Mangekyo was about to fade away, Fugaku saw a clear image.
In the prophecy of his Mangekyo ability, Fugaku saw how Itachi, following Kazuki's path of growth, dedicated himself to studying the Will of Fire and managed to successfully infiltrate the Hokage's inner circle.
Suddenly, Itachi's figure disappeared, and in his place appeared many people, confusing Fugaku...
Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Izuna, Uzumaki Mito, Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama…
The figures of these powerful shinobi of the Sengoku period flicker like lights on a carousel, transforming into chakra that gathers into a single mass.
Fugaku, with all his strength, opened his eyes and saw a white-haired woman, who appeared fleetingly and looked down at him, like a goddess.
In a single instant, Fugaku experienced an indescribable oppression.
But in the next moment, the vision changed, and the adult figure of Uchiha Itachi appeared before him.
Itachi, dressed in black clothes, held a bloody samurai sword, the tip still dripping with blood, while next to him lay a corpse whose face was unrecognizable. In a low voice, he said: "Father, I have found the answer to the future you asked me to pursue!"
With this, the future that Fugaku managed to see with all his might using his Mangekyo ability, came to an abrupt end.
Contrary to what Fugaku had anticipated, the vision of the future was not precise; it was just fragments of scenes.
But it didn't matter, Itachi's last sentence, given in the prophecy, gave him a boost of hope.
If he had already found the answer, that meant his son would be successful in the future…
Furthermore, Fugaku had not seen Kazuki in that vision; instead, he had seen figures of deceased Sengoku period shinobi and that white-haired woman who terrified him.
“I understand now…” After deep thought, Fugaku smiled maliciously. “My son is, without a doubt, a genius. If he can learn from the strengths of these Sengoku period shinobi, how could Uchiha Kazuki or Sarutobi Hiruzen be a match for him?”
“That white-haired woman is probably an opportunity that Itachi will encounter in the future…”
"Uchiha Kazuki, although he is in the limelight, I don't see him in the future..."
“Did this child die in the war?”
Fugaku pondered.
In his last vision, Itachi killed an enemy and then announced to him the final victory.
Fugaku curved his lips into a smile. “Maybe Kazuki didn’t die in the war… but was killed by Itachi.”
Fugaku let out a sigh of relief. Although his left eye was on the verge of blindness, he had gained too much information.
In the future, Itachi would be an absolute genius, a terrifying ninja who would absorb the strengths of all the great shinobi, including legends like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, and ultimately achieve victory.
For Fugaku, caught in Kazuki's intangible pressure, that vision of a hopeful future brought him calm and tranquility.
“Not only do I have foresight, my power is also formidable!”
Fugaku Uchiha caressed his right eye, still full of pupillary power.
Mangekyo Sharingan - Amaterasu.
“Everything that is observed by this eye will be consumed by black flames, an unstoppable fire that reduces everything to ashes.”
Fugaku sneered. “Kazuki, you underestimate me as the head of the Uchiha clan, but you underestimated my patience even more…”
Fugaku wiped his blood-stained face and muttered: “I won’t give you the chance to find a weak spot in me. I just need to follow the future I’ve seen, step by step, and in the end I’ll be the winner. The Uchiha clan, the Police Force, if you want them, go ahead and take them!”
“All I need to do is train Itachi.”
Finally, after clearing his mind, Fugaku even began to fantasize.
He imagined him and Itachi on top of Konoha, at that moment would Yakushi regret what he said to him today?
Fugaku sat down and started laughing, unhinged: "Hahaha!"
...
Root Base.
[From the target Uchiha Fugaku: You have obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan - Amaterasu technique!]
[Eye Technique Amaterasu]: Release black fire, which can ignite chakra.
[From the target Uchiha Fugaku: You have obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan - Susabi technique!]
[Susabi]: It consumes ocular power and allows one to foresee a possible version of the future. Its accuracy varies depending on the intensity of the associated factors and the anticipation time. It has a long cooldown, which can be reduced by possessing the Sage Body.
“Kazuki-sama, Uchiha Fugaku is trying to obtain information about the Roots and the current situation of the Clan members...”
Uchiha Yakushi stood in front of Kazuki, who was wearing a pensive expression. Yakushi lowered his head in guilt. "Please forgive me, I even wanted to hide it for him..."
After leaving Fugaku's house, Yakushi had been feeling increasingly uneasy.
Why would he want to cover up for Fugaku? If something went wrong in the future or he just caused trouble for Kazuki, that would already be a bad thing.
Under these circumstances, Yakushi decided to break his promise and honestly report everything to Kazuki.
