"You're the one who chose to step out and seek death—don't blame us for what happens next!"
A flash of killing intent glinted in the eyes of the leading Uchiha hawk.
No matter what trump cards Renya had, they would never give up easily.
A traitor of the Uchiha must be eradicated!
Just as he was about to launch his attack, he saw the faint smile on Renya's face.
"Let me show you the true power of the Sharingan."
As his words fell, the three black tomoe in his eyes spun wildly.
Under the horrified gazes of everyone present, they transformed into a pattern of three black sickles.
As Uchiha clansmen, they naturally knew what that meant.
The evolution beyond the three tomoe, the eye countless Uchiha dreamed of.
—The Mangekyō Sharingan!
Uchiha Tanaka's heart sank at the sight. As expected—it was the Mangekyō Sharingan.
That kid had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan yet had never leaked a single hint.
It seemed Senju Tobirama had somehow sealed the information.
In reality, he guessed wrong—Renya had simply been lying at home doing nothing, never finding a chance to use the Mangekyō.
Occasionally, when he went out on missions, the enemies he met weren't worthy of making him open his eyes.
Renya's Mangekyō wasn't an Eternal Mangekyō, so he normally wouldn't use it lightly.
He wasn't like Sasuke—who, after blinding himself, could still go collect his big brother's remains.
He was all alone. If he ended up blinding himself…
Where was he supposed to get another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan?
Theoretically, two unrelated Mangekyō could also be fused into an Eternal Mangekyō.
But there were no precedents in the shinobi world.
Mangekyō Sharingan were extremely rare—those who possessed such eyes could be counted on one hand.
No one knew whether they could really be fused into an Eternal Mangekyō.
Even if not, he could simply use someone else's eyes.
After all, in the world of Naruto, eyes were plug-and-play.
If he ever did go blind, he didn't need to worry too much.
He could just grab a pair of three tomoe first and make do.
He didn't have a big brother's "gift," but he had old man Madara!
When Madara-sama eventually died, wouldn't the Rinnegan be his?
As the only junior Madara fancied, inheriting his legacy was perfectly reasonable, right?
"H–How is this possible?!" the leading hawk shouted in disbelief.
Mangekyō Sharingan!
This traitor had actually awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan!
Impossible—absolutely impossible!
All these years, no one in the clan had awakened those eyes.
Yet the clan's traitor had done so.
This feeling was worse than death…
The other Uchiha all revealed shocked expressions.
Though they were born later and had never witnessed the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan themselves…
The moment they saw those eyes, their bodies instinctively trembled in fear.
"Tch, it's been a long time since I last used these eyes."
Renya felt the surge of overwhelming ocular power and wore an intoxicated expression.
Right now, he felt terrifyingly strong!
"Mangekyō Sharingan…" Shimura Danzō murmured.
He hadn't expected Renya to awaken such powerful eyes. Truly unexpected!
If any other Uchiha had awakened the Mangekyō, he would have done everything in his power to kill them.
The Uchiha could not be allowed to produce a second Uchiha Madara!
But if it was Renya…
Then it was fine.
A friend with those eyes could easily suppress all Uchiha troublemakers!
For the village, this was a tremendous blessing.
No wonder Renya agreed not to use the Flying Thunder God—so he really did have an even stronger hidden card.
Heh, now this would be fun to watch.
"So what if you have the Mangekyō Sharingan?" the leading hawk roared with madness. "Everyone—go together and rip his eyes out!"
As long as he lost those eyes, he was nothing but an ant to be slaughtered.
The panicked Uchiha instantly calmed down.
Yes—they had so many people. How could they possibly lose to Renya?
Even with the Mangekyō, he couldn't kill them all.
Uchiha Tanaka sighed silently.
These kids were too young—they had never witnessed the power of the Mangekyō.
As someone who had once followed behind Uchiha Madara, he understood deeply how terrifying the Mangekyō truly was.
The leading hawk launched the first attack, but Renya casually sidestepped it.
The strength of the Mangekyō was no joke.
Even without using its unique ocular techniques or Susanoo, its insight and power far outstripped the ordinary three tomoe.
"Too slow," Renya commented lightly.
"You bastard!"
The leading hawk turned red with fury, launching attack after attack, yet failing to land even a single hit.
Fortunately, the other Uchiha joined in, greatly relieving his pressure.
Facing dozens of attackers at once, Renya didn't underestimate them—he immediately pulled away to create distance.
The group of Uchiha would never let this rare opportunity slip away. They all formed seals and unleashed ninjutsu at once, trying to block Renya's movements.
Dozens of blazing fireballs surged toward him.
Renya weaved and dodged through the storm of flames, avoiding most of them, yet several fireballs still shot at him with extreme speed.
With his movement restricted, Renya had nowhere left to retreat.
The scorching flames swallowed his figure in an instant.
"Hahaha! Die, you arrogant fool!" the leading hawk cackled madly.
So that's it? That's it?!
He had thought the Mangekyō Sharingan was terrifying.
But it turned out to be weak and disappointing.
"You seem quite happy."
A mocking voice echoed from within the flames, freezing the hawk's smile.
The Uchiha all tensed.
"Step… step… step—"
Renya slowly walked out from the sea of fire.
The blazing flames rushed toward him, yet failed to harm him at all.
Around his body, several dark-red skeletal structures materialized.
Like the strongest armor, they blocked out all the heat.
Renya's long black hair fluttered in the heatwave. There wasn't a trace of panic or distress on his face—only unbroken mockery from beginning to end.
His gaze swept across the stunned Uchiha, and the corner of his mouth curled into a cruel, cold smile.
"Playtime is over. I'm done."
His voice wasn't loud, but it rang clearly in everyone's ears.
"You all… can die now."
Before the words even finished—
A terrifying surge of chakra exploded outward!
Beside the protective skeletal frame of his Susanoo, an arm formed entirely from dark-red chakra condensed in an instant.
The arm shot out like lightning, seizing the leading hawk in a single motion.
"Uagh—!"
He only had time to let out one miserable scream before Susanoo's hand clamped down on him.
The overwhelming force crushed his body, bones cracking with nauseating sounds.
The shock on his face was instantly replaced by agony and terror.
Everything had happened too fast—too suddenly!
All the Uchiha froze where they stood, pupils contracting violently.
The flames continued crackling.
Their glow reflected the terror and disbelief on everyone's faces.
Controlling Susanoo's arm, Renya lifted the dying hawk to eye level, his Mangekyō Sharingan devoid of emotion.
"Die!"
