The Mangekyō Sharingan that had just awakened within Uchiha Su's eyes possessed two extraordinary abilities.
The ability of the left eye was called Delusion Breaker.
This ability allowed him to see through every illusion and deception in the world. Whether an enemy used invisibility, stealth techniques, concealment underground, or even hid themselves in another dimension, none of it could escape the gaze of Delusion Breaker.
Everything would be revealed.
When the technique was activated, Uchiha Su could force hidden enemies to reveal themselves and imprint a special mark upon them. Once marked, the opponent could no longer escape his perception.
The ability of the right eye was called Heavenly Punishment.
Through this power, Uchiha Su could communicate with lightning itself and summon terrifying bolts of thunder from the sky. These bolts possessed destructive power capable of annihilating entire battlefields.
More frighteningly, the lightning would automatically lock onto enemies who had been marked by Delusion Breaker.
The greater the ocular power Uchiha Su poured into the technique, the larger the scale of the lightning strike would become. In extreme cases, it could resemble a divine punishment descending from the heavens.
"Is this the Eyes of the Heart's Reflection…?"
Uchiha Su murmured softly.
"Truly, hearing about it is not as convincing as witnessing it firsthand."
The Mangekyō Sharingan was not simply a stronger form of the Sharingan. Its abilities were deeply connected to the heart of the person who awakened it.
Every Mangekyō ability reflected the deepest emotions and desires hidden within the user.
In the original history of the Uchiha clan, each person awakened a different power.
For example, Uchiha Obito awakened his Mangekyō after witnessing the tragic death of Rin Nohara. That moment shattered his heart and filled him with despair toward the world.
Obito desperately wished to escape reality.
From that desire was born Kamui, a power capable of tearing through space itself and allowing him to become intangible, slipping into another dimension to avoid the cruel world around him.
Similarly, Uchiha Itachi awakened his Mangekyō after witnessing the death of his closest friend, Uchiha Shisui.
At that time, conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village had already reached a point where reconciliation seemed impossible. Itachi longed for power strong enough to protect peace.
Thus, the terrifying black flames known as Amaterasu were born.
But deep in his heart, Itachi also knew that he alone could not control the fate of the entire world. That hidden feeling manifested as Tsukuyomi, a technique where everything within the illusionary world was completely controlled by the caster.
Even time itself could be manipulated.
Other Uchiha such as Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Shisui, and even Uchiha Fugaku awakened their own Mangekyō abilities based on the emotions and desires buried deep within their hearts.
Therefore, once the Mangekyō Sharingan awakened, the abilities it produced were not random.
They were the reflection of the user's inner soul.
So the question remained—
What desire existed in Uchiha Su's heart?
The ability Delusion Breaker represented Uchiha Su's deepest insecurities.
There were things in this world that made him uneasy.
For example, the mysterious Black Zetsu, whose Mayfly Technique allowed him to travel through the ground and spy on people without being detected.
There was also Uchiha Obito, whose Kamui ability allowed him to phase through attacks and hide within another dimension.
Both abilities could bypass almost any form of perception.
Uchiha Su hated that feeling of uncertainty—of knowing that someone might be watching him while he remained completely unaware.
That fear and vigilance manifested into Delusion Breaker, an eye that could pierce through all concealment.
Stealth.
Invisibility.
Secret surveillance.
Even dimensional hiding.
Nothing could escape its gaze.
The ability of the right eye, Heavenly Punishment, reflected another side of Uchiha Su's heart.
His craving for power.
Deep down, he despised the corrupt feudal system that dominated the Ninja World. The existence of hereditary feudal lords who ruled without strength or wisdom irritated him.
He also disliked the distorted structure of the ninja villages, where endless wars were fought for political interests.
Uchiha Su wished for the power to punish injustice.
Thus, Heavenly Punishment was born—a technique capable of controlling lightning and delivering judgment like a divine execution.
These two abilities represented the two sides of his heart.
One was vigilance and caution.
The other was judgment and destruction.
In truth, even Uchiha Su himself did not fully understand what his deepest desire was.
But the Mangekyō Sharingan did.
The Eyes of the Heart's Reflection could illuminate even the most hidden parts of the soul and transform them into power.
Uchiha Su slowly inhaled and activated Delusion Breaker.
The petal-shaped pattern within his Mangekyō began spinning rapidly.
Instantly, the world around him seemed to expand.
With himself as the center, everything within a hundred meters was reflected clearly within his vision.
Nothing could hide.
He could see the Anbu ninjas hidden in the shadows, silently guarding the Mizukage Office Building.
He could see members of the Police Force patrolling the streets outside.
He could even see Hōzuki Gengetsu, who was currently sitting on the Mizukage's chair, half-asleep with his head tilted slightly.
Behind him, Uchiha Nami was buried beneath piles of documents, tirelessly handling administrative work.
Every detail was perfectly clear.
As long as Uchiha Su wished, he could instantly place his mark on any of these individuals.
After that, he could activate Heavenly Punishment.
Lightning from the sky would strike them with absolute precision.
One minute later, however, Uchiha Su began to feel a throbbing pain in his left eye.
The strain on his ocular power was rapidly increasing.
"Perhaps it's because I'm still too young…"
Uchiha Su muttered thoughtfully.
His current chakra reserves and ocular power were not particularly large.
Fortunately, Delusion Breaker itself did not consume too much power.
Still, prolonged usage clearly placed a burden on his eyes.
Closing his Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Su left the Mizukage Office Building and headed toward the Uchiha Clan compound.
During the past month, the entire clan compound had already been constructed.
With ninjas working as laborers—essentially human machines powered by chakra—construction progressed at astonishing speed.
"Su, you're here."
A familiar voice greeted him.
"It just so happens I was about to send someone to find you."
As Uchiha Su entered his small courtyard, he saw Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Setsuna sitting beside a stone table.
A chessboard rested between them.
It appeared they had just finished a game.
"Uncle. Jonin Setsuna."
Uchiha Su greeted them politely before pulling over a small stool and sitting beside Madara.
Madara looked at him with a calm expression.
"I will soon leave the Hidden Mist Village and head to Konoha," Madara said slowly.
"While I'm gone, the affairs of the village will be entrusted to you, Su."
After saying this, Madara turned his gaze toward Uchiha Setsuna.
"Setsuna, you must assist Su well. He is an exceptional child. As the future head of the Uchiha clan, he is fully qualified."
"Yes, Lord Madara."
Uchiha Setsuna immediately stood up.
"I will assist the young master with all my strength and help restore the glory of the Uchiha clan."
He walked in front of Madara and performed a deep formal bow.
Afterward, he also bowed respectfully toward Uchiha Su.
Uchiha Su accepted the gesture calmly.
This was a custom inherited from the Warring States Period, symbolizing the confirmation of leadership and status.
"Lord Madara," Setsuna asked cautiously, "after you leave, will the village remain stable?"
Madara nodded.
"I spoke with Gengetsu and Genshi last night."
"They both promised to support the Uchiha clan."
"With their cooperation, there should be no major internal problems within the Hidden Mist Village."
Madara paused briefly before continuing.
"Additionally, I visited the Kaguya Clan last week."
"We have reached an agreement."
"For the next one hundred years, the Kaguya clan will serve the Uchiha clan."
"In return, we will provide them with resources and attempt to find a cure for their bloodline disease."
Setsuna clicked his tongue in surprise.
"They actually agreed to such terms?"
"As expected of Lord Madara. I wouldn't even know how to deal with the Kaguya clan."
Madara smiled faintly.
"There was also an unexpected discovery."
"The Kaguya clan has a close relationship with the Hyuga clan."
"Through them, we may be able to establish contact with the Hyuga of Konoha."
Then Madara turned toward Uchiha Su.
"Su, come with me."
He led Su away from the courtyard toward a quiet lake.
Beside the water stood a newly constructed shrine.
Madara had named it Naka Shrine.
The two entered the shrine together.
Madara opened a hidden chamber and retrieved a thick notebook.
"This notebook records many important events in the history of the Uchiha clan."
"It is something every clan leader must read."
He handed the notebook to Uchiha Su.
The moment Su held it, he felt its weight.
It seemed as heavy as a thousand jun.
Madara then reached behind his back.
"Also… the Gunbai, the Uchiha clan's flame fan."
"It has been passed down through generations of clan leaders."
"I will now entrust it to—"
Before Madara could finish, Uchiha Su shook his head.
"Uncle, you are about to face a great battle."
"It is better for you to keep the fan."
Madara looked at him for a moment.
Then he laughed softly.
"Very good."
"You truly have grown capable of bearing great responsibility."
Madara placed a hand on Su's shoulder.
"Then I will leave the village in your care."
Uchiha Su nodded firmly.
"Rest assured, Uncle."
"I will not disappoint you."
