Konohagakure — Hokage Tower
"The situation is grave. That man not only awakened the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō Sharingan, but he also commands three major elemental chakra natures… and even uses Chidori better than Kakashi himself?"
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, exhaled smoke slowly, brows furrowed with concern.
"Yes," Minato replied, rattled by the report.
"It's more accurate to say Kakashi learned Chidori from him. Whoever this person is — his mastery over Lightning Release far surpasses Kakashi's. He has already perfected Lightning Nature transformation."
Jiraiya clacked his sandals against the floor impatiently.
"Old man, this isn't some prank. That guy is extremely hostile toward Konoha. If he awakened the Mangekyō because of the war… we may have created a monster we can't control."
"We must calm the Uchiha clan before they act rashly," Orochimaru said, his tone still loyal — for now.
"They must have already heard whispers of such power. They won't sit and watch."
At that moment, the doors slid open.
Shimura Danzō entered with his cane, his expression shadowed by cold ambition. Behind him stood Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado — Hiruzen's longtime comrades.
"Ape Fei," Danzō spoke sharply, "I will dispatch Root to capture the boy. The Mangekyō Sharingan cannot fall into Uchiha hands alone."
Jiraiya immediately stood up, eyes widening.
"Are you insane? The three of us barely survived fighting him once! Without Minato's Flying Thunder God, we'd be dead!"
Minato nodded, tightening his fists.
"He isn't an opponent you can underestimate. Don't make reckless moves, Danzō."
Hiruzen's gaze hardened — no softness or hesitation, not yet.
"That's enough. Danzō… I am the Hokage of this village. You will not act without my command."
Danzō grit his teeth but said nothing further.
Uchiha District
"Patriarch, we must retrieve the boy's Sharingan immediately — preferably alive," one elder insisted.
"If we can encourage a stable Mangekyō awakening, the Uchiha will rise again. Meanwhile, the village elders dare to hold meetings without us. Their disrespect grows bolder."
The once-glorious Senju clan had nearly vanished — Tsunade being the only notable descendant remaining in the village.
The Uchiha and Hyūga now stood as the two pillars of Konohagakure:
Uchiha: Sharingan and unmatched Fire Release
Hyūga: Byakugan, 360-degree vision, extraordinary chakra insight — though their bodies restrict wide ninjutsu use, their Gentle Fist could destroy a target's chakra network from within
The Uchiha's political influence was still immense… yet their Mangekyō had vanished since Madara.
"Don't be foolish," the Great Elder snapped.
"Have you forgotten how terrifying the Mangekyō is? We send ordinary clan shinobi — they'll be slaughtered."
Unwilling, another elder spat, "So we do nothing? If we obtain a Mangekyō user again, even the Hokage will have to bow before us!"
The Second Elder finally voiced a different idea:
"What if we recruit him? Convince him to return to the Uchiha clan? If necessary, claim him as one of our own."
But the Great Elder shook his head.
"Even if he joined us, the Hokage and his council would move against the Uchiha immediately. A single Mangekyō won't protect us — it may instead ignite a war that ends our clan."
A heavy silence fell upon the room.
The Uchiha dreamed of rising again…
But one wrong step could doom their entire lineage.
Uchiha Clan – Council Chamber
For a moment, the elders seemed convinced by the Second Elder's proposal — to reach out and recruit the Mangekyō wielder. Heads nodded around the room.
But the Great Elder raised his hand, bringing silence.
"Don't delude yourselves," he said gravely. "The Hokage's advisors will never allow another Mangekyō to rise freely within the Uchiha. The higher we climb, the more they will push us down."
The room darkened with the weight of his words.
Ambition clashed with caution — and fear.
Amegakure — Akatsuki Headquarters
Inside the rain-soaked village, thunder rolling beyond the steel walls—
"Madara," Nagato spoke from his throne-like chair, his red hair limp from illness and strain. "This mysterious figure… he possesses the Sharingan. Surely he belongs to your Uchiha clan?"
The masked man — who called himself Uchiha Madara — turned slowly. Only a single eye was visible through the swirling mask.
"I did not expect another Mangekyō user to emerge after so long," the masked man replied, voice low. "And not only that — he awakened power rivaling the Eternal Mangekyō… without the Uchiha clan's guidance."
Nagato narrowed his gaze.
"Should we make contact? Extend an invitation to the Akatsuki?"
The masked man paused — and behind his single eye flashed a flicker of unease.
"…No," he finally answered. "This one, I will approach personally. If he truly is Uchiha… then it is a matter of family."
As his words faded, space twisted around him.
A spiraling vortex of time and space swallowed his body — and he vanished without a trace.
Nagato watched the distortion collapse into still air.
A new Mangekyō Sharingan user had emerged into the world of shinobi…
and even the Akatsuki sensed the tremor he sent through history.
