"That's... the Sharingan!"
Everyone present saw Akihara Kagura's eyes!
Everyone present could see that Akihara Kagura's Sharingan had transformed from ordinary eyes, indicating that Akihara Kagura indeed possessed the Uchiha bloodline!
The most terrifying thing to them was...
Akihara Kagura's eyes appeared incredibly eerie!
Those were a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, even stronger than ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan, and behind those eyes lay a long and terrifying history!
The unexplored years before the Sengoku era...
A man from the Uchiha Clan accidentally learned a secret about the Uchiha Clan from the Hyuga Clan, faked his death during the war to escape and conceal his past, hid in the shadows, and stole his deceased brother's eyes, gaining immense power...
"..."
Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara felt familiar.
Should we say...
As expected of the Uchiha?
Everyone likes to fake their death and escape...
Indeed.
That Uchiha was also terrifying.
Because that Uchiha did not attempt to rule the Ninja World, thinking he had attained the power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. He knew the power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was not omnipotent because he also wanted to master the secrets of the Senju Clan.
That Uchiha had also obtained the Senju Clan's bark.
That Uchiha carried the Senju Clan's bark and the Hyuga Clan's wooden stick to the end of his life, leaving the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to his descendants...
These descendants passed down the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan from generation to generation, attempting to glean secrets from the bark and stick, as these hidden Uchiha offshoots in the Ninja World lived through the ages, their existence unknown to outsiders...
Until...
Everything passed into the hands of Akihara Kagura, this descendant.
Akihara Kagura, like his ancestors, was adept at concealing himself, planning before acting, creating conspiracies and schemes!
Akihara Kagura consistently hid his identity until this moment when he had to reveal his dark lineage, bit by bit narrating his ancestry and the terrifying historical story behind it, leaving those listening and watching with a chill down their spine!
No one expected Akihara Kagura to be of Uchiha bloodline; when anyone in the Ninja World mentioned Akihara Kagura, the powerful Wood Release Ninja akin to the First Hokage was Akihara Kagura's label.
But...
Everything was overturned.
"So... it really is Uchiha..."
Nara Shikamaru verified the truth, yet was not happy at all, instead feeling a trace of fear.
Compared to Akihara Kagura's eyes, what was more terrifying was the story behind those eyes—an Uchiha gained the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and, to ensure these eyes were preserved, his blood relatives succeeded it, warming them generation after generation!
Until this moment...
Those eyes could still be used.
Of course...
What was most terrifying was Akihara Kagura's concealment!
No one expected Akihara Kagura to be an Uchiha!
If Akihara Kagura had not voluntarily exposed himself, who would suspect Akihara Kagura also originated from the Uchiha Clan? Who would think Akihara Kagura was Uchiha!
Kakashi Hatake's eyes showed some astonishment because he had known Akihara Kagura for over ten years and had never seen him use the Sharingan...
The Dark Department Ninjas in Konoha were also shocked.
During the Senju Clan bark incident within Konoha Village, Second Hokage Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru, based on the Senju Clan's bark, judged Akihara Kagura to be a Senju Clan ninja, always hiding his Senju Clan identity...
But now...
Everything reversed.
A story about the Uchiha, a long and terrifying tale, revealed a secret from before the Sengoku era and unlocked the secret of Akihara Kagura's ancestry!
"So...
"You are Uchiha too..."
Uchiha Madara looked at Akihara Kagura's eyes, suppressing his inner shock because he also thought Akihara Kagura was a Senju Clan offshoot ninja!
Now the truth was unveiled...
This brat turned out to be an Uchiha offshoot ninja!
Even possessing the Uchiha Clan's top-tier Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!
Although those Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan came from Akihara Kagura's ancestors, through generations of blood relatives' nurturing, they remained preserved!
Uchiha Madara gazed at Akihara Kagura's strange Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, unable to resist commenting: "Are those eyes the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan passed down through generations of your lineage? From that era until this, it mustn't be easy..."
"Indeed, it is not easy."
Akihara Kagura chuckled softly, his hand gently caressing his eye sockets, as though treating those eyes as treasures: "Before unraveling the secrets of Senju and Uchiha, I dared not use these eyes, fearing to damage them even slightly..."
"Not just me..."
"Anyone possessing these eyes wouldn't dare use them recklessly."
"Even these eyes are only inherited by the youth to nourish them; once they age and break, they become completely useless; only by unraveling the secrets of Uchiha and Senju Clan, and at the most perilous moments, can they reveal their contained power..."
"And I..."
"Am the last one..."
