Mirai Uchiha had long expected that he would eventually awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.
As his spiritual power approached five hundred, his ocular abilities had gradually stabilized. In contrast, the condition of his eyes had begun to fluctuate—feelings of soreness and swelling appearing frequently.
Today, after killing Raiga Kurosuki, he successfully gained one point in spiritual power. At that very moment, his eyes evolved from the triple-comma Sharingan into the Mangekyo Sharingan.
[Name: Mirai Uchiha]
[Physique: 522]
[Spiritual Power: 500]
[Chakra: 503]
[Kekkei Genkai: …]
[Ninjutsu: …Hiding in Mist Technique!]
[Others: …]
Looking at his attribute interface, Mirai Uchiha's expression betrayed a flicker of anticipation.
Awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan required reaching a spiritual power level of five hundred. Then how much spiritual power would be needed to awaken the Rinnegan?
"Mirai Uchiha, are you okay?"
Might Duy's words snapped Mirai back to reality. He looked at the two men who wore expressions of concern and spoke seriously, "Might Duy, Might Guy, absolutely do not disclose any information about what happened today to anyone else."
"Especially don't mention anything about my eyes, got it?"
Might Duy and Might Guy understood this was no small matter. They nodded gravely. "Mirai Uchiha, don't worry—even if we die, we won't say a word about today."
"That's good." Mirai Uchiha naturally trusted Might Duy and Might Guy's integrity; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to save them.
Still… there were some things that needed clarification first.
"When you return to the village, people will definitely ask about today. Just tell them that after encountering the Seven Swords of the Bloody Mist, I saved you both."
"And Might Duy, keep your use of the Death Gate secret."
It wasn't about taking credit—it was about avoiding unnecessary complications.
After all… the idea that a Tokubetsu Jonin promoted under special circumstances who only knew taijutsu had defeated four members of the Seven Swords of the Bloody Mist sounded completely unbelievable.
"Don't worry, Mirai," Might Duy chuckled, proudly patting his chest. "We're not too bright—we'll just follow your lead."
Might Guy didn't argue either.
After all, earlier, Mirai had passed right over him, then soon appeared beside him holding the severed heads of Fuguki Suikazan, Momochi Juzo, and Raiga Kurosuki.
Even if the remaining four ninja from Kiri were still alive, there was no way they could defeat Mirai.
"Mirai, you still haven't explained how exactly you brought Might Duy back to life."
"Is it because of those special Uchiha Eyes [Sharingan]?" Might Guy asked curiously.
"Guy! Don't ask such questions recklessly."
Might Duy scolded Guy.
A ninja's secret trump card is directly connected to his very life. Even more so for an ability capable of bringing the dead back to life.
Even if they were close friends, asking about such things was crossing a line.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"Please forgive me, Mirai."
Seeing Guy's flustered state, Mirai Uchiha casually waved his hand dismissively. "Actually, reviving Might Duy indeed was a new power I recently gained. But I won't go into specific details with you."
"It's not that I don't trust you guys. It's just that sometimes, knowing too many secrets becomes dangerous instead."
After hearing Mirai's explanation, Might Duy and Might Guy simultaneously nodded their heads in understanding, each suppressing their curiosity deep inside.
Might Duy stepped forward and patted Mirai's shoulder with a smile. "Never would I have imagined that the talented teen I once trained with would actually become a towering figure reaching the heavens."
Might Duy felt a wave of emotion inside. He had barely managed to kill four members of the Seven Swords of the Bloody Mist after opening the Death Gate, yet Mirai had effortlessly defeated the remaining three.
And more importantly… he had pulled him back from the brink of death.
Such performance was precisely why younger Guy had nearly suffered complete collapse of his martial cultivation mindset back then.
Just as Mirai Uchiha was about to say something, Might Duy suddenly turned his head toward Guy and shouted, "Guy, did you see that?"
"[Youth]! Through hard work alone, infinite possibilities lie ahead!"
"The path you follow in chasing Mirai may seem endless, but no matter what, you must never give up. Understand?!"
Might Guy immediately straightened his posture. "Understood!"
"Guy!"
"Father!"
Watching the two getting increasingly emotional, Mirai Uchiha frowned slightly and silently took several steps backward.
Sure enough, the two soon embraced each other tightly and began weeping bitterly.
Mirai's lips twitched involuntarily. So this really was their legendary routine, huh?
Finally, once the two had calmed down, Mirai spoke up. "You two should handle cleaning up the battlefield first, then we'll return to the village and report everything."
"Got it."
As Might Duy and Might Guy got to work, Mirai sealed all seven ninja blades into a Sealing Scroll using his Sealing Technique.
If his memory served him right, Ao from Kiri could retrieve these blades through Summoning Jutsu.
Though he couldn't use the weapons himself, if Mist wanted them back, they'd have to pay a steep price first.
After dealing with the matter of the ninja blade, Mirai Uchiha finally had time to properly sort out the abilities of his newly acquired Mangekyo Sharingan.
Closing his eyes, a stream of seemingly innate information clearly surfaced within his mind.
[First came the ability of his left eye: Ame-no-Koyane-no-Kami.]
It allowed him to rewind time for a particular object or all things within a certain range, while remaining unaffected himself.
The resurrection of Might Duy had been made possible through the power of this left eye.
By using his powerful dojutsu, he rewound Might Duy's timeline back to the exact moment before Guy had activated the Eight Gates, which was why Might Duy could be restored completely unharmed.
[The ability of his right eye was called Sarutahiko-no-Kami.]
This technique allowed him to rewind only his own personal timeframe, without affecting anything else in the external world.
"No wonder the Sharingan is hailed as the Eye of the Soul's Reflection. Even though my Mangekyo awakened through an external cheat, its powers still mirror the deepest desires I held at that moment," Mirai mused aloud after understanding the powers of both his eyes.
Earlier, when he saw Might Duy already dead, his mind had been consumed by one thought—if only time could rewind once, he wouldn't repeat the same mistake again, allowing someone precious to die needlessly.
Under such emotional circumstances, his Mangekyo Sharingan had awakened two time-related abilities.
One capable of rewinding time externally, and one capable of rewinding time internally.
The more ocular power he consumed, the longer the span of time he could rewind.
Even when compared to Kamui—hailed as the strongest of all Mangekyo techniques—Mirai believed these two eyes were every bit as powerful.
Moreover, deep within his heart, Mirai sensed a faint awareness—hidden deep within his Mangekyo Sharingan lay another technique yet to be unlocked.
For some unknown reason, however, he currently couldn't decipher any related information about it.
Still, Mirai knew that one day, when his ocular power grew strong enough, this hidden ability buried deep inside would naturally become accessible to him.
