Ninja World: Pass Fire from Konoha

Half a year ago, inside the Chuanhuo Sacrificial Site.

midnight.

Uchiha Fugaku sat alone by the Spiral Sword bonfire, staring at the silently burning flames in a daze.

Through the bright flames of the campfire, he seemed to see a miniature of the world.

Since joining the Initial Sacrificial Site and becoming a Contractor of Fire, his favorite thing to do besides practicing is to sit alone by a campfire, bathing in the warm light of the fire, letting his mind wander and thinking about nothing.

In this state, Uchiha Fugaku could feel the long-lost peace in his heart.

Since he left the village and wandered around the ninja world for more than a year, he had seen a lot and experienced a lot, which also aroused his thinking.

Think about yourself, think about the village, and think about the future of your family.

As the young head of the Uchiha clan, the future of the Uchiha clan is his unavoidable responsibility.

It was precisely because of this responsibility that Uchiha Fugaku found it difficult to breathe.

Where is the way out for the Uchiha family?

Become a Hokage family?

No, not possible.

As he grows older and more experienced, he can now clearly see the relationship between the Uchiha family and the village.

Neither Sarutobi and Senju, who are behind the third generation, nor Hinata, who is also from a wealthy family, nor other weaker ninjas are willing to see a member of the Uchiha family become Hokage.

Among them, there are members of the Uchiha family who are arrogant and rely on the power of the Sharingan and look down on others, resulting in unpopularity. In addition, in the early days of Konoha, Uchiha Madara, the ancestor of the Uchiha family, fought against the first Hokage at the peak of his powers. Lose.

The failure of the battle that determined the winner and loser led to the Uchiha clan's embarrassing position in Konoha.

Of course, these are all additional factors. The most important reason is that since the ancestor Uchiha Madara, there has never been a super strong person in the Uchiha family who can activate the Mangekyo Sharingan and suppress all kinds of dissatisfaction.

Whether it is the huge ninja world or the small Konoha Village, in the final analysis, they all rely on their own strength to speak for themselves.

Today's Uchiha family has the arrogance of a strong man, but does not have the absolute strength of a strong man. If it continues like this, it will only attract the malice and covetousness of others.

You know, Sharingan is different from Byakugan.Due to the existence of the Caged Bird Curse Seal in the Hyuga Branch, almost no one would take action because they covet the Byakugan Blood Succession Limit, but what about the Sharingan?

As long as you capture a member of the Uchiha clan, detach his eyes, and store them in a special container, you can get the extremely precious Sharingan Blood Succession Limit!

This is an unimaginable temptation for other ninjas.

This has also created an increasingly embarrassing situation for the Uchiha family.

He is not in harmony with Konoha's katana, but he cannot break away from Konoha and become independent in the ninja world.

What's more, in the understanding of the Uchiha family's senior leaders, the establishment of Konoha was the result of the Uchiha family's great efforts. Why should we leave?

After a long period of thinking, Uchiha Fugaku came up with a solution to this situation.

That is, it is up to him to become the super strong man of the Uchiha family who can overcome many dissatisfactions.

As long as you awaken the Mangekyō and become the strongest person in Konoha, everything will be solved.

The most violent approach is often the easiest way to solve a problem.

The method is available, but how to implement it is another question.

Even after more than a year of growth, with the help of the initial sacrificial site, Uchiha Fugaku's physical qualities, including chakra, have increased greatly, making his combat effectiveness close to that of a senior jounin. , to the current elite jounin, but he still has no clue as to how the three Magatama Sharingan was promoted to the Mangekyo Sharingan.

He didn't care about the pain of cultivation, but the ardent hope of his family was indeed too heavy for him to bear. Therefore, whenever his thoughts were complicated, he liked to sit by the spiral sword bonfire at the initial sacrificial site and feel a moment of inner peace.

"Tata, Tada..."

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps reached his ears, causing Uchiha Fugaku, who was immersed in tranquility, to wake up suddenly, and quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

I saw a figure covered in gray mist, with only the black rock-colored armor inside vaguely visible, appearing on the throne above the circular stone staircase at the edge of the sacrificial site, and walking down the stone staircase step by step.

The "stomp" sound was exactly the dull sound made by this gray mist figure as it walked.

Without the soul mask, who is he?

Looking at the gray mist surging on the figure's face, Uchiha Fugaku thought in confusion.

This was the fourth existence he saw in the initial sacrificial site, besides Lord Sword Demon, Dead Apostle, and Dancing Girl.

Although he was panic-stricken, Uchiha Fugaku was not panicked at all.

The initial sacrificial site is an absolutely safe place for the fire bearer, that is, the fire contractor. Even the sword demon who is as powerful as the peak of Super Shadow cannot fight other fires in the sacrificial site without applying for a competition barrier. The contractor caused no harm at all.

And even if the competition barrier is practical, it cannot cause fatal injuries. After the competition is over, the sacrificial site will restore the contestant's state to the state before entering the competition barrier.

The gray mist figure walked down the stone stairs step by step, walked within the range of the Spiral Sword bonfire, walked to the position opposite Uchiha Fugaku and sat down cross-legged.

"Are you a new contractor?"

The dull, hoarse, vicissitudes of life, as if awakened from endless years, came from the voice, making Uchiha Fugaku feel heavy pressure in his heart.

so strong...

This was the second time he felt such oppression.

The first time was Lord Sword Demon.

Could it be said that this gray mist figure is also a super shadow-level terrifying existence?

Uchiha Fugaku's thoughts were racing in his mind, and he lowered his head respectfully: "Yes, I have just been a fire bearer for more than a year, and my name is Yantong. Sir, who are you?"

"The deliverer of flames? The nameless one who kills the king? The one who kills the ancient dragon? The terminator of the King of Xin?"

"There are too many, I can't remember them all..."

"However, that is all in the past. Now, you can call me [Ashes]."

"A lonely guardian of the sacrificial site."

ash?Lord Ashes!

Hearing this title, Uchiha Fugaku felt a strong shock in his heart.

In the past year, he had communicated with the dead disciples and dancing girls at the monthly soul organization gatherings, and learned that a long time ago, there was an adult named "Ashes" in the initial sacrificial site, who guided the newcomers. , but I don’t know when, “Lord Ashes” never appeared again.

Unexpectedly, I would meet "Lord Ashes" now? !

Not daring to neglect, he quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

"You don't have to be formal."

"I have awakened from my deep sleep, and will soon fall into my deep sleep again."

"I see that you have something on your mind. You can tell it and I may be able to answer it."

The vicissitudes of the voice belonging to Lord Ashes echoed in his ears. After a brief moment of daze, Uchiha Fugaku felt a surprise in his heart.

According to the dancers and dead disciples, Ashes-sama was a figure who existed before the ninja world was established. He knew many secrets and was like a living encyclopedia. Maybe Ashes-sama would know things that he didn't understand.

After organizing his words, Uchiha Fugaku said in a tone of suppressed excitement and joy: "Master Ashes, actually I have been confused about how the three Magatama Sharingan should evolve into the Mangekyo Sharingan."

Before asking this question, Uchiha Fugaku also thought about whether this would expose his true identity.

Nowadays, only Lord Sword Demon in the initial sacrificial site knows his true identity.

But after thinking about it, he decided to ask this question.

Firstly, the identity of Master Ashes is different from that of ordinary Fire Contractors. He is more like a neutral person in the initial sacrificial site. Secondly, he really wants to know how the three magatama can evolve into a kaleidoscope. For this, even if he risks He doesn't hesitate to take risks.

"I see, is this your confusion..."

Hui Jin nodded, and the gray mist surrounding his body began to billow.

"I should be able to answer one or two questions."

"Lord Ashes, you know?!" Hearing Lord Ashes' words, Uchiha Fugaku became excited. He bowed deeply again: "Please give me some advice."

The flames of the bonfire burned and danced, and the ashes sat on the ground and said slowly:

"The Mangekyo Sharingan, the legendary cursed eye, has unpredictable power, but it also brings strong side effects."

"And the way it is turned on, in the traditional sense, can only be turned on when Uchiha has experienced huge negative emotional stimulation, such as killing or witnessing the death of a loved one, and producing special chakra."

"Huge negative emotional stimulation? Killing or witnessing the death of a loved one?" Uchiha Fugaku lowered his head and fell silent.

Although he had already guessed that the method of opening the Mangekyō Sharingan was extremely difficult, he never imagined that he would have to pay such a heavy price.

The power gained in exchange for the blood of a loved one?

No wonder Lord Ashes said it was a "cursed eye"...

And is this cursed power really what he desires?

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku was confused.

"Haha..." Suddenly, a loud laugh reached his ears, awakening Uchiha Fugaku from his confusion. He subconsciously raised his head and found that Lord Ashes, who was sitting opposite him, was now sitting on the huge stone staircase. throne.

"Young man, don't be confused." More and more gray mist emerged around the ashes on the throne: "The traditional method of opening the kaleidoscope is indeed bloody and cruel, but that is because normal Uchiha, in the stage of three magatama, Chakra is far from enough to support the evolution of Kaleidoscope."

"Extreme negative emotions will stimulate the growth of Uchiha Yin Chakra. This is also the origin of the traditional method of opening the kaleidoscope."

"In the final analysis, as long as the Yin Escape chakra is sufficient, there is no need to stimulate negative emotions at all."

"And as a Contractor of Fire, why do you lament that your Yin Escape Chakra is insufficient?"

By the end, Ashes' figure had been completely obscured by the thick gray fog, and his voice had become ethereal, until he completely disappeared from Uchiha Fugaku's sight.

"Master Ashes..."

Uchiha Fugaku wanted to raise his hand to stay, but after seeing the huge empty throne below after the gray mist dissipated, he finally put down his hand.

"Is there enough Yin Escape Chakra..."

Under the light of the bonfire, Uchiha Fugaku whispered, his tone full of uncontrollable joy.

He looked at his property panel.

[Name]: Uchiha Fugaku

[Rank]: First level (soul power acquisition efficiency +0%, when the level reaches lv.10, you can upgrade by consuming a certain amount of fire)

[Level]: lv.12 (upgrade requirement: 2000 points of soul power)

[Attributes]: Strength 14, Physical 22, Speed ​​15, Spirit 22

[General Skills]: Return, Rebirth of Fire

[Soul Power]: 1550

……

After becoming a Contractor of Fire, he carried out missions desperately. Wherever there was the most chaos, he could be found. In addition, he already had the ability to be close to senior jounin and be regarded as a high-level combatant in all major ninja villages. The strength of the force has only improved to the level of "lv.12" in just one and a half years.

As for the bonus points after the upgrade, under the advice of Lord Sword Demon, he focused all on "physical fitness" and "mental fitness".

Clicking on "Physical Fitness" is to make better use of combat skills, while clicking on "Spiritual" is to achieve the prerequisites for learning spells, magic, and miracles.

What's more, the simultaneous improvement of the two can also increase the amount of chakra.

This may be a beautiful thing.

With the blessing of "22" points of physical and mental strength, Uchiha Fugaku now has much more chakra than the elite jounin of the same level. Anyway, the chakra that used to need to be used carefully, he can now squander it without any pressure.

But even so, he still has no signs of being able to activate the Mangekyō Sharingan with his current chakra level.

In other words, the physical and mental abilities at 22 o'clock are not yet up to the requirements for opening the kaleidoscope.

In this regard, Uchiha Fugaku was not disappointed.

Any hope of achieving anything is better than no hope at all.

Now, he already knows the conditions for opening the Mangekyou Sharingan. Even if his current attributes are not up to standard, as the level increases, one day, he will have enough Yin escape chakra to open the eyes in a different way from the traditional method. , evolve the Three Magatama Sharingan into the Mangekyo Sharingan!

As for the increasing amount of soul power that you want to upgrade now?

No matter how difficult it is to obtain soul power, it is insignificant compared to the cost of killing or witnessing the death of a loved one.

In the initial sacrificial site, Uchiha Fugaku stared at the bonfire, a sharp cold light flashing in his eyes.

……

North of Konoha Village, on an unknown mountaintop platform.

Uchiha Fugaku slowly raised his head. He looked at the attribute panel in front of him that only he could see, especially the attribute column.

[Level]: lv.16 (upgrade requirement: 4000 points of soul power)

[Attributes]: Strength 14, Physical 25, Speed ​​15, Spirit 25

The weird black pattern of three triangles spliced ​​together flowed in his scarlet eyes. He looked at Hinata Untaki floating in the air, exuding dark blue chakra and in "Sage Mode", with a slight smile on his mouth. Zhang, speaking softly:

"Hyuuga Kumotaki, this is the ultimate power that belongs exclusively to my Uchiha family, the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"Are you ready for defeat?"
