Haru let out a mocking laugh, and the Lava Release Rasenshuriken in his hand dispersed as he looked at Tomita.
"Lava Release? A trump card?"
"I think you've got it wrong. That was just a little trick to make them quiet down."
Haru's tone was full of disdain, and his eyes casually swept over the battered Uchiha below.
Tomita's heart sank.
A bad premonition rose in his chest.
This entire clan meeting had already gone out of control from the moment Haru began.
And now...
What was Haru about to do?
Did he still have another trump card?
"My real trump card is this."
Mangekyo Sharingan Trial Card -1
A terrifying surge of Mangekyo Sharingan eye power burst into Haru's eyes.
Cold.
Evil.
Chaotic.
A wave of negative emotions rushed into Haru's mind, filling him with the urge to destroy everything before him.
No wonder every Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan ended up insane.
Just enduring this kind of power was enough to drive a person mad.
But then a cool force swept through his mind and dispersed it all.
The power of the wheel had stepped in.
"Hahahahaha! So this is the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan!!"
"It's intoxicating!"
With the wheel's help, Haru had already perfectly mastered this borrowed power.
Only now did he understand why Sasuke, right after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, had been bold enough to charge into the Five Kage Summit by himself.
At this moment, Haru felt like he could beat ten versions of his former self.
This kind of explosive leap in strength was enough to make anyone lose their mind.
If Haru were sent to fight Tobirama now, he would not even furrow his brow.
The power of the Mangekyo Sharingan had far exceeded his imagination.
He and ordinary three-tomoe Uchiha were now completely different lifeforms.
Haru laughed wildly atop the platform, utterly unconcerned that Tomita might try to attack him at this moment.
"Impossible... impossible..."
"This level of power... the Mangekyo Sharingan?!"
"You awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan!!"
Tomita shouted in disbelief.
The Mangekyo Sharingan was the eye he had pursued his entire life.
The entire Uchiha Clan had been chasing after those eyes.
The power to blot out the sky with Susanoo.
The power to split mountains and seas with a single slash.
The power Madara-sama once wielded.
And now, it had appeared once again.
"Hahahaha! The heavens still have eyes!"
"The Mangekyo Sharingan has appeared!!"
"The divine power of the Uchiha Clan!!!"
"Konoha's future belongs to the Uchiha!!!!"
"..."
The clan elders, who had just been watching the show moments ago, now broke into hysterical screams of joy.
They had just been frightened by Haru's Lava Release Rasenshuriken, and then immediately felt the Mangekyo eye power radiating from him.
That familiar power.
The same force that had once appeared in Madara's eyes had appeared again.
No one understood the terror of the Mangekyo Sharingan better than they did.
From now on, Haru was the future clan head of the Uchiha.
They said so.
And no one would stop it.
Anyone who dared oppose him would die.
The clan elders instantly recognized Haru as the future clan head.
Only he could lead the Uchiha back to the age of Madara-sama.
After all, Hashirama was already gone from Konoha now.
And Tobirama was dead as well.
Who in the world could still resist the divine power of the Uchiha?
"Clan Head Tomita, do you understand my trump card now?"
The Sharingan in Haru's eyes was no longer in its tomoe form.
It had become a six-pointed star pattern.
This trial card had given him Sasuke's Mangekyo Sharingan.
A massive phantom of Susanoo dozens of meters tall appeared behind him.
Haru only lightly stirred the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, then looked at Tomita with burning eyes.
Tomita could not speak.
His eyes were filled with terror, but also envy.
Those dreamlike eyes...
Why couldn't they have grown in his own head?
"Haru!!"
"He is the Uchiha Clan Head!!"
"He is the future!!!"
The clan elders were the first to scream again, pointing toward the shadow of Susanoo behind Haru.
That was it.
"Susanoo!!"
"The Uchiha's invincible power!!"
"Haru!!"
"Haru!!!"
"..."
A roaring wave of voices erupted, louder and more passionate than before.
The Uchiha had already gone mad.
The power of the Mangekyo Sharingan had made them forget Haru's little mistake just moments ago.
A man this powerful had every right to be domineering.
Wasn't it only natural that anyone who dared challenge the dignity of a strong man would die?
The fact that they were still alive was proof of Haru-sama's mercy.
In just a few seconds, the entire mood of the Uchiha had changed.
They had all become Haru's supporters.
"Silence!!!"
The moment Haru's voice rang out, the mountain-shaking cheers vanished at once.
Every person present looked at him as if they were facing something sacred.
Even the dozen Uchiha who had been attacked earlier now wore expressions of reverence.
They had lost.
And they were completely convinced.
"Tomita, I'm giving you one chance now."
"A chance to challenge me. If you win, the clan head position remains yours!"
Haru decided to crush him both physically and mentally.
Today, he had to put on the biggest display possible.
He had saved this trial card for so long and had never been willing to use it.
If he did not use it for a moment like this, then it would have been wasted.
"I... I..."
Tomita did not dare say anything.
How the hell was he supposed to fight this?
There was no way to win.
Just the eye power pouring off Haru was already putting enormous pressure on him.
"So what will it be?"
"Will you retreat in disgrace without fighting, or will you act like a true Uchiha and challenge me bravely? Even if you lose, there is no shame in that!!"
Seeing Tomita hesitate, Haru immediately added more fuel to the fire.
If he did not keep pushing, Tomita might actually just kneel on the spot.
In that instant, Tomita understood.
Haru wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
And the chicken was him.
Now he had no room left to retreat.
Haru's words had already forced him into a corner.
Being pushed off the clan head seat by Haru was not shameful.
After all, Haru was an Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
But if he did not even have the courage to fight, then what right did he have to call himself a proud Uchiha?
At worst, it was just death.
Tomita was not afraid of dying.
And he absolutely did not believe Haru would really kill him.
A man like Haru, who had hidden himself for sixteen years and awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, would never be so brainless.
Haru still needed him in order to fully take control of the Uchiha Clan.
"Then let us fight!"
Tomita regained the bearing expected of a clan head.
His face turned resolute as he looked at Haru.
And when Haru heard Tomita's answer, he smiled.
A very satisfied smile.
Today, this show was his for the taking.
