Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

After dinner, a familiar servant came to clean up, and Uchiha Gen, along with his father-in-law and subordinates, went to the living room to drink tea and chat.

Before everyone left, Uchiha Gen emphasized it again, making everyone realize the seriousness of the situation.

From his previous life, Uchiha Gen had always hated the privileges that outsiders had. Some people, however, had been kneeling for so long that they couldn't stand up anymore, and even thought they were living in the old days...

Even if there are special privileges, they should be given to the right people, but some people just have their own biases.

In my previous life, as a relatively ordinary person, I would have encountered and witnessed such things but had no way to intervene. At most, I could only vent my anger verbally or online.

This life is different. Now that he has the ability to do it, Uchiha Gen is unwilling to see such a terrible thing happen again...

Uchiha Gen didn't care about the relationship between villages or countries; he was just that protective of his own and lacked any "vision."

Compared to potential losses, Uchiha Gen always believed that unity was the most important thing for a country or a force!

It's impossible to create a mushroom egg without unity...

After everyone left, footsteps sounded. Uchiha Gen peeked out and saw that it was Mikoto and Sasuke.

"Judging from your expressions, you must have something to ask me," Uchiha Gen said with a smile after putting down his teacup.

Mikoto smiled gently and said, "Yes, this child wants to ask you some questions."

"What is it that still requires Mom's company?"

Are you afraid I won't agree?

While making a joke, Uchiha Gen raised his hand, gesturing for the two to find a place to sit down.

Wearing a black knitted blouse, a black knee-length skirt, and black stockings, Mikoto sat down next to Uchiha Gen, her legs crossed at an angle, her posture dignified and elegant.

Sasuke sat down below the two of them and mustered his courage to say, "Brother Gen, it's about the Chunin Exams."

"With the ten great ninja villages gathered here, there must be many strong individuals. I'm afraid of disgracing the Uchiha clan, so I want to increase my strength."

Uchiha Gen laughed and said, "Your strength has far surpassed that of a genin. Even if you encounter a special jonin, you would have a chance to win. Are you still worried?"

At this point, Uchiha Gen's heart stirred.

"Sasuke, do you want to awaken the Sharingan?"

Aside from losing his father when he was too young to remember, Sasuke has had a smooth life in this life, and having just graduated from the Ninja Academy, he naturally has no chance to awaken the Sharingan.

Sasuke nodded like a chick pecking at rice, saying, "Yeah, yeah... I just want to awaken the Sharingan."

"I asked my mom and brother, but neither of them could help."

"I think only you, Brother Xuan, who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, can solve this."

After a moment's thought, Uchiha Gen said, "I do have a solution, but I'm worried you might not be able to handle it and suffer a mental breakdown..."

With him protecting him, Sasuke wouldn't have a mental breakdown, but he still had to say it to avoid Mikoto blaming him, and also to test Sasuke's resolve.

"Brother Xuan, you really have a way with things!"

Sasuke's face lit up with surprise, then he said resolutely, "I can definitely handle it, I definitely won't have a mental breakdown!"

"What do you think?" Uchiha Gen asked, glancing sideways at Mikoto.

"Husband, do you have any ideas?" Mikoto asked tenderly.

"Sasuke was mentally prepared after I said it, but it might affect the outcome..."

After hesitating for a moment, Mikoto gritted her teeth and said, "A fledgling eagle must always spread its wings and fly. I believe Sasuke can handle it!"

"Alright, Sasuke..."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke instinctively looked over, only to have his entire vision filled by a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.

Under the unparalleled power of Uchiha Gen's eyes, Sasuke forgot all his memories of the present world and relives his childhood.

This childhood is exactly the same as Sasuke's childhood in the original work, and the subsequent events will also follow some of the original story's development...

"You used genjutsu to help Sasuke awaken his Sharingan? Is that even possible?"

As the owner of the three-tomoe Sharingan, Mikoto could naturally tell what state Sasuke was in, with his blank expression and lifeless eyes...

"Don't worry, my illusion magic has reached the highest level of blurring the lines between reality and illusion. Those who are affected by it will be completely unaware that it is an illusory world..."

He could have used meticulously crafted illusions, blurring the lines between reality and illusion, to help Shisui and Itachi, two individuals with the potential to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, but he never did.

Initially, it was to maintain their uniqueness, and at the same time, illusion magic wasn't powerful enough.

Especially for those with the three-tomoe Sharingan, the possibility of discovering a flaw is not small, and the chance of failure is very high.

Later, as his strength rapidly increased, there was no longer any need for the two of them to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He alone is enough to shield us from all the storms and troubles of the outside world...

If that's the case, why make Shisui and Itachi endure the inhuman pain of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan?

If he didn't have some kind of cheat code that would allow him to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan through unconventional means, he wouldn't be willing to awaken it in the conventional way...

That is an unforgettable pain that can never be erased in a lifetime!

Aside from madmen who relentlessly pursue power at any cost, no normal person wants to exchange a lifetime of excruciating pain for power that cannot change anything...

The eye that reflects the soul can never truly alter the past; no matter how mysterious the pupil technique, it cannot change it.

Because the foundation of an Awakened is destined to prevent them from developing eye techniques that can reverse the past and defy the heavens!

"Um."

Mikoto nodded gently, looking at Sasuke with a worried expression...

After a moment, Mikoto gently patted Uchiha Gen's chest, saying with a hint of annoyance, "What are you doing?"

It turned out that Uchiha Gen got up, picked up Mikoto, and placed her on his lap.

"Can't an old married couple even have a little intimacy?"

Uchiha Gen kissed Mikoto's still fair and smooth cheek, while one hand gently caressed her black, beautiful legs...

"Of course you can, but the occasion isn't right."

"What would it look like if Sasuke came to his senses?"

Mikoto rolled her eyes at Uchiha Gen and reached out to grab his unruly hands that were trying to explore the secrets.

"I'm not doing anything, I'm just holding you."

"Yeah, right..." Mikoto said, pouting.

If I hadn't intervened in time, your vital organs would already be in your hands.

Uchiha Gen smiled and did not launch another attack, quietly holding Mikoto.

It was just a whim, a little bit of fun.

As the two spoke, Sasuke's expression changed constantly with the scenes in the genjutsu, his emotions flowing freely, but his emotional fluctuations were not significant.

As the night of the massacre approached, Sasuke's emotions reached their peak. He was filled with disbelief, grief, fear, hatred, and despair. His body trembled, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"He's waking up."

As they spoke, Uchiha Gen put Mikoto down and walked up to Sasuke, ready to make his move at any moment.

Mikoto followed, her face full of worry.

What exactly did Sasuke go through to cause such a chilling reaction?

Another minute passed, and Sasuke's entire face was covered in sweat, with beads of sweat rolling to the ground, his hair roots were wet, and his body was trembling violently.

This behavior terrified Mikoto, who unconsciously gripped Uchiha Gen's arm tightly with both hands.

Uchiha Gen patted Mikoto's arm to comfort her, then casually set up a soundproof barrier to avoid disturbing his family.

"what……"

A heart-wrenching scream, like the mournful cry of a cuckoo, rang out as Sasuke broke free from the genjutsu...

Huff, huff...

His rapid breathing was like a broken bellows, and dense sweat dripped from his face to the ground, shattering into pieces. His black eyes turned bloodshot, and two black tomoe appeared. His eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was extremely dull. It was as if all his energy and spirit had been drained away.

"Congratulations, Sasuke, you succeeded."

Uchiha Gen smiled slightly, his tone gentle.

Not only was it a success, but a great success. He remembered that in the original work, Sasuke only activated one tomoe Sharingan on the night of the massacre of his clan, but this time it was two tomoe.

Is it because of his older age and stronger physique, or some other reason?

Hearing the familiar yet unfamiliar voices, Sasuke slowly raised his head, staring blankly at the two of them...

Suddenly, Sasuke lunged forward, reaching out to tightly hug Uchiha Gen and Mikoto around the waist, resting his head between their shoulders, his voice filled with unspeakable fear and grievance...

"Brother Xuan, Mom..."

"That's terrifying, that's terrifying!"

Sasuke, who was holding the two of them, was still trembling, which showed how deep his psychological trauma was!

Actually, it should be considered more profound. Considering Sasuke's experiences in the original work, the fact that he remained in that state in the early stages can be described as a minor miracle.

How many people become psychopaths and monsters because of their unhappy childhoods...

Mikoto raised her hand to comfort Sasuke while glaring fiercely at Uchiha Gen.

The intention is obvious.

What did you make him go through to become like this...?
