The Border of the Land of Rain, by the River.
Lighting a bonfire and skewering fish on bamboo sticks, Mito planned to celebrate the long-awaited clear weather.
With food, drink, and a place to sleep, the princess with the bun hairstyle was content.
Unfortunately, that person was not by her side at this moment.
"What's his deal? He could've just gone back and called for reinforcements, but no—he had to wander into the enemy's base for a thrill."
There was a hint of complaint in the girl's voice. It was clear that she wasn't too happy about Kyosuke taking such risks.
The Shinobi world was vast, and space-time ninjutsu was not invincible.
Mito feared that Kyosuke would develop a habit of underestimating the world's strongest.
Such an attitude could easily lead to life-threatening consequences.
Sigh, he never listens to me.
Such a willful child, Hahaha.
Mito sat by the river, entertaining herself. Meanwhile, the "child" she spoke of, Kyosuke, was heading alone into the enemy's Stronghold.

"We, as a clan, bear the mission of cleansing the Shinobi world."
"Do not waver. Do not fear. As long as you stand with me, no foe shall ever block our path."
Ōtsutsuki Takuya stood on a high platform, his voice passionate and inspiring. Below him, a crowd of Ōtsutsuki clan members raised their arms, cheering in unison.
The scene resembled a certain kind of sales rally. If only there were rhythmic applause to make it complete.
Clap, clap, clap—
The peculiar sound of applause quickly drew everyone's attention.
Looking toward the source, they found a young man clapping enthusiastically.
For some inexplicable reason, his clapping rhythm seemed to perfectly match the atmosphere.
Under his influence, a group of people unconsciously began to clap in sync.
"What's going on?"Even Ōtsutsuki Takuya was dumbfounded.
He thought to himself, I'm giving a motivational speech here. I should be getting hoarse cheers, not synchronized clapping.
Yet, strangely enough, it didn't feel too bad.
As he followed the crowd's gaze, the figure of the young man came into focus in Takuya's vision.
"You... you're..." The former rebel leader's face showed complete disbelief, as though he had seen a ghost.
"Uchiha Kyosuke! You've got some nerve!"
The name alone sent waves of shock rippling through the gathered crowd.
Before anyone could react, Kyosuke's Kusanagi sword flashed out of its sheath, and a dazzling bolt of electricity burst forth among the gathered enemies.
Uchiha Style: Chidori Scatter!
[System Notification: Killed a Chunin-level ninja of the Moon Clan, earned 280 points.]
[System Notification: Killed a Genin-level ninja of the Moon Clan, earned 75 points.]
[System Notification: Killed a Genin-level ninja of the Moon Clan, earned 90 points.]
"There are not many opportunities left to rack up points," Kyosuke sighed as he used Flying Thunder God to escape the encirclement.
Just as he left his previous spot, a barrage of green projectiles bombarded the area, engulfing it completely.
"What a rude welcome." A mocking smile appeared on Kyosuke's lips as he released his curse mark. Behind him, a pair of fleshly wings unfurled.
Ignoring the swarm of puppets soaring towards him from the horizon, he flapped his wings and soared straight into the sky.
Boom!
The terrifying roar of thunder gradually drew everyone's attention.
The Land of Rain, perpetually shrouded in rainy weather, was the ideal battlefield for the Lightning Style: Kirin.
Why had he been holding back all this time?
The reason was simple: if he acted too soon, the enemy would be alerted and have time to prepare.
Instead of using the technique blindly, it was better to wait for the perfect moment.
"The thunder sounds... unusual," Ōtsutsuki Takuya noted warily, his body tensing as he retreated swiftly toward the rear.
This was their main stronghold, and it was impossible for the enemy to have set up space-time coordinates here. With that in mind, Takuya felt confident he wouldn't be the target.
"Smart move," Kyosuke murmured, ignoring the retreating enemy commander. He raised a hand and fired a beam of Chidori into the sky.
Utilizing the Sharingan's insight, he successfully manipulated the natural lightning within the clouds to converge.
Meanwhile, on the ground, the battle continued fiercely.
The countless green Chakra Orbs blasts lighting up the sky were dazzling, a sight that would undoubtedly make for a stunning performance at a celebration.
Raindrops pattered softly against Kyosuke's skin as he slowly raised his left hand.
The electric charge in the air resonated with the lightning beast he was summoning, making him appear like a deity wielding the power of heavenly thunder.
Majestic, solemn, and terrifying—his very presence inspired awe and dread.
"Vanish under the roar of thunder." he declared.
Lightning Style: Kirin!
With a slight motion of his hand, the lightning beast descended in an instant, annihilating the enemies in the plaza.
The terrifying roar of the strike alarmed every member of the Moon Clan.
"What happened?" Otsutsuki Sugito emerged from his chamber, irritation evident on his face.
Before long, a subordinate arrived to report the situation.
When Sugito heard that the Takuya's unit had been ambushed, his expression darkened, as if he had just swallowed something foul.
"An attack on Takuya's battalion? How many enemies are there?" Sugito demanded sharply.
"According to our scouts... only one person came."
For a brief moment, Sugito felt like killing the subordinate standing in front of him.
"Charging into enemy territory alone—does that person have a death wish?"
Suddenly, as if a thought struck him, his expression darkened, and he asked, "Could it be Uchiha Kyosuke?"
"It's him."
"Hmph, I knew it," Otsutsuki Sugito sneered dismissively.
Without hesitation, he issued orders: "Surround the area within a three-kilometer radius from where he appeared with puppets. Today, I'll ensure he cannot escape, no matter what."
Touching the bandages on his face, Sugito seemed to have found the perfect target for testing his new abilities.
Using the corpses of the Hyūga clan as vessels, the Tenseigan inherited from his ancestors had finally begun to show signs of awakening.
Though still in its embryonic stage, upon replacing his eyes with it, he discovered they granted him incredible powers.
He had been seeking an opportunity to test it, and now, that brat from the Uchiha clan had foolishly delivered himself to his doorstep.
"You chose death yourself; you've no one to blame," Ōtsutsuki Sugito remarked coldly, setting off for the battlefield.
---
By the time the thunder ceased and the dust settled, the plaza had already turned into a ruin.
Under the devastating power of the Lightning Release, leaving an intact corpse was a luxury.
Let alone escaping with one's life in mere fractions of a second.
In the distance, Otsutsuki Takuya stared in disbelief, utterly shocked.
Never had he imagined the enemy would unleash such a horrifying technique.
"What should we do? Retreat?" someone suggested.
"No. After using a technique of this magnitude, his chakra reserves must be nearly depleted."
"Kill him! Avenge our fallen comrades!"
What Ōtsutsuki Takuya didn't know was that the true difficulty of the Kirin technique lay in creating the thunderclouds.
Guiding the clouds to form the lightning beast, however, required only a minimal amount of chakra.
By current estimates, Kyosuke still retained at least 90% of his chakra reserves.
As the massive casualties among Takuya's forces caused numerous flying puppets to fall from the sky.
Seeing this, Takuya clasped his hands together abruptly. Countless green beams, like homing missiles, surged toward the fallen puppets on the ground.
Divine Mechanism: Hundred-Style Maneuver!
Behind him, Hundreds of human puppets hovered menacingly in the air—a true display of strength befitting a rebel leader.
Among the members of the Moon Clan, any truly exceptional individual was capable of crafting and controlling the spiritual energy sphere.
By implanting these spheres into corpses and using a special refining technique, they could craft human puppets retaining 80% of the deceased's original strength.
Outstanding members of the Moon Clan were thus inevitably a skilled puppet master.
In fact, these spiritual spheres could even be implanted into living beings.
However, the requirements were too demanding, placing a heavy burden on the user, which is why it was rarely seen in normal circumstances.
The hundred human puppets circled above like dark clouds.
Anyone would feel the pressure, but Kyosuke kept his head lowered, seemingly lost in thought, not revealing what was going through his mind.
"Ugh, it hurts."
An extremely cold chakra surged toward his eyes like a tide.
At the same time, a violent aura suddenly surged from his heart, causing Kyosuke's thoughts to spiral into chaos.
"Uchiha Tajima, kill."
"Senju Butsuma, kill."
"Black Zetsu, kill."
"Uzumaki Ashina, kill."
"Kill, kill, kill!"
At that moment, Kyosuke finally understood the madness of those who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan before him.
He now realised why Sasuke was so fixated on his own path.
Why Obito abandoned his emotions.
Why Itachi wielded the blade against his own clan.
Why Madara pursue the destructive Moon Eye Plan.
It was because the amplification of negative emotions through the Mangekyō Sharingan was simply too terrifying.
Kyosuke had once believed himself to be relatively free of inner darkness.
But after exchanging points to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, countless painful memories flooded his mind like a tape being rewound.
In other words, he was starting to lose control.
Don't mention the people with whom he already had gaps in his relationship—even Uchiha Madara and Hashirama's images flashed through his mind.
He could barely hold back the urge to immediately kill the two of them and turn them into filler for his point pool.
Fortunately, Kyosuke had used points to complete the exchange.
If he had hesitated even a little bit and chosen to open his eyes using "negative emotions," his personality would have definitely changed drastically. As his ocular power deepened, his thoughts would have become more and more extreme.
A Lightning Release Kirin directly pushed his points to a total of 100,000.
Without any hesitation, Kyosuke immediately chose to exchange for the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the scene he had just experienced appeared.
Deactivating the cursed seal and slowly landing on the ground, he finally managed to suppress the boiling negative emotions inside him.
Slowly raising his head, six-pointed star patterns of varying lengths appeared in his eyes.
Mangekyō Sharingan, activated!
