Uchiha Kaguya

Chapter 59 Uchiha Kaguya

The ultimate life form—Ao—appeared silently near the Uchiha camp as soon as Shiichi returned to Konoha.

This was Shiichi's final plan before returning to the village: to select an Uchiha for an experiment.

Using the characteristics of an ultimate life form, Shiichi transformed himself into a bird and silently observed the Uchiha in the camp.

Soon, Ao found a suitable candidate—Uchiha Hikaru.

Uchiha Hikaru was an ordinary Uchiha with no outstanding talent. Before going to the battlefield, he was just an ordinary genin who hadn't even awakened his Sharingan.

But this does not diminish Uchiha Kaname's pride in being an Uchiha.

He believed that he possessed noble blood, unlike ordinary ninjas.

Although Uchiha Kaguya also suffered a lot of disdain within the clan due to his lack of talent.

But he didn't think it was wrong.

Instead, it fueled his admiration for the Sharingan and for power, leading him to believe that:

"With eye power comes strength; with strength comes everything!"

Especially after seeing the Uchiha genius—Uchiha Shisui, a genius whom the Uchiha clan was so proud of, he found it even harder to contain himself.

The fact that he had awakened the Sharingan with two tomoe at such a young age filled Uchiha Teru with immense longing and yearning.

Shisui was a member of the Uchiha clan, which means that Shisui's great talent was due to the strength of the Uchiha bloodline.

All glory belongs to the Uchiha.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, he shared in Shisui's glory.

From that time on, Shisui became an important spiritual pillar for him and a role model for the Uchiha clan in his heart.

However, his interaction with Shisui led him to extremes.

It was a sunny morning with a gentle breeze.

Uchiha Teru got into a conflict with a group of civilian ninjas at the Ninja Academy.

It's really not a big deal.

Although Uchiha Teru wasn't particularly outstanding among his clan members, his classmates, who were assigned to him, were even weaker.

At least Uchiha Hikaru received basic training from the Uchiha clan, and he was trained in some of the basic ninja skills.

Therefore, Uchiha Teru did quite well in this neglected class.

However, Uchiha Kaname's arrogant demeanor aroused dissatisfaction among many commoner ninjas in the class.

As luck would have it, they hit it off immediately and formed a small group.

The plan was to "secretly" slander the Uchiha clan in front of Uchiha Teru, attempting to bully and ostracize them.

Uchiha Teru slowly walked into the classroom, glanced at the civilian ninjas, frowned slightly, and sensed the naked malice.

"Hmph, in the end, it's just not good enough to be presented in a respectable way."

Uchiha Teru looked down on these commoner ninjas and completely ignored them.

"How could I care about mere lowly people? What does it matter if they have malicious intentions?"

As soon as they saw Uchiha Teru enter the classroom, they immediately began whispering amongst themselves with shifty eyes.

"Did you know that the Uchiha clan smashed up a shop in the shopping district?"

"The Uchiha clan bullies ordinary villagers."

"They simply don't dare go to the battlefield!"

Of course, I have to slander him in front of Uchiha Teru; what's the point of doing it secretly in a secluded place?

But to their surprise, Uchiha Teru was furious when he heard this.

Without wasting words with them, they took action immediately.

At first, Uchiha Akira was outmatched by a small group and was surrounded and attacked by many people.

Punches and kicks rained down on Uchiha Hikaru.

Uchiha Akira was also very tough, or rather, very extreme.

"I will never allow myself to lose to you commoners."

Despite the excruciating pain, Uchiha Teru fiercely retaliated against those around him.

Faced with Uchiha Hikaru's fierce aura, the leader became afraid and scattered, only to be defeated one by one by Uchiha Hikaru.

"They're all useless in the end, even if they're all gathered together."

Uchiha Teru looked at the commoners crying and wailing with disdain.

Uchiha Teru felt proud that he had demonstrated the power of the Uchiha to the common people. He clenched his fists, tears welling in his eyes.

Finally, he did something for his family, even if it was insignificant, and he was deeply proud of it.

then…

He encountered Uchiha Shisui.

What should have been two happy things—protecting the Uchiha clan and meeting his spiritual pillar, Uchiha Shisui—didn't expect things to turn out this way.

"Ki, the Uchiha are also part of the village. You shouldn't do anything that would damage the relationship between the Uchiha and the village. You should get along well with your classmates."

Uchiha Shisui spoke gently with Uchiha Teru, offering many suggestions to ease tensions, and finally wished him to have a precious bond.

Uchiha Shisui hoped to mediate the conflicts within the village and clan in a proper and gentle manner.

However, this only made Uchiha Teru even angrier.

"What are you doing?! You're a genius of the Uchiha clan! How could you do this?!"

In his opinion, Uchiha Shisui was too weak, always smiling at everyone, which was not good.

You're supposed to be a genius of the Uchiha clan, where's your arrogance?! How are we ordinary Uchiha supposed to behave like this?!

For Uchiha Teru, if Uchiha Shisui treated him with disdain, he would not blame him; instead, he would humbly try to please him.

But Uchiha Shisui's gentle smile and tender request stirred up Uchiha Teru's resentment and even jealousy.

The collapse of his spiritual pillar twisted his mind.

"If I had the talent of still water, I could definitely do even better!"

At that time, Uchiha Akira became obsessed with power and wanted to obtain it.

at all costs.

When the Uchiha clan sent members to fight the Kirigakure on the eastern front, Uchiha Teru immediately signed up to participate.

He was too eager to improve.

Having experienced the war, Uchiha Teru felt the sensation of having his life taken away, his whole body trembling slightly, his face filled with excitement.

He was stimulated and awakened his Sharingan.

The single-tomoe Sharingan emitted a bewitching red light and slowly began to rotate.

With the Sharingan, he became seen as having potential by the Uchiha clan, and his treatment improved slightly.

night.

When Uchiha Teru heard that Shisui had performed great service alongside the clan leader, his expression twisted in disgust.

He will surpass Uchiha Shisui!

"Power! I need power!"

Do you need power?

The sudden sound interrupted Uchiha Teru's wild reverie.

"Who?! This is the Uchiha camp! Come out now!"

Uchiha Teru shouted loudly, trying to alert the others.

"It's no use. I've sealed off the area; the sound can't get out."

The aged, indifferent voice made Uchiha Teru even more nervous.

"Who are you?!"

"I am a spirit of the Uchiha clan."

Shiki appeared before Uchiha Teru, dressed in a black robe, emanating a faint black mist that enveloped his entire face.

The moonlight shone on him, yet it could not penetrate the black mist, making him appear exceptionally mysterious and sacred.

"Uchiha Madara!"

"Impossible... Madara Uchiha died in his battle against the First Hokage!"

Faced with the mysterious man's words, Uchiha Teru replied in shock, his tone tinged with a hint of ecstasy.
