Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

"Hey, did you hear that he originally said that Tobirama-sama wanted to choose him to be the Hokage?"

"It's so funny, is this kind of person worthy? If Uchiha could become Hokage, Uchiha Madara wouldn't have to defect."

"Hey, hey, no matter what, he is still the strongest man in the village. It's a bit too much to say that..."

"Tsk, he just relied on those eyes and the research results of Master Tobirama. If such resources were piled on a pig, the pig could become a Kage-level strongman!"

……

One night, Jing sat on the Hokage Rock in a daze, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.

His belief, his unstoppable ninja way, and the "will of fire" that had sustained him to this day, began to waver for the first time.

"Did I...really do something wrong?"

One morning, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Konoha:

"Uchiha Kagami has long coveted the position of Hokage. He colluded with foreign countries and cooperated with the Hidden Cloud Village to weaken Konoha's strength. He deceived Lord Tobirama's trust and finally cooperated with his brother, the traitor Uchiha Kamiya, to kill Lord Tobirama at the negotiation meeting, just to make himself Hokage!"

An absurd thing happened. This rumor that came from nowhere was inexplicably spread as the "truth."

In the streets and alleys, countless villagers marched and petitioned, intending to execute Uchiha Kagami and restore peace to Konoha!

This incident attracted the attention of Konoha's top leaders, and they immediately held a meeting. However, the focus of the meeting was not to find out the truth, but to debate who would deal with Uchiha Kagami's body and Sharingan after his execution.

That night, Uchiha Yuko ran to Jing's house crying, her eyes red as she cried:

"Jing... I didn't expect you to be such a person. Do you know that my brother has been impeached by the elders of the clan because of you?"

"Yuko, even you don't want to believe me?" Jing opened his eyes wide, and his last bit of faith collapsed.

Yuko said in a shrill voice: "I was so blind to fall in love with you, and even... got pregnant with your child... I hate you!"

At that moment, Jing seemed to be struck by lightning, and everything from his heart to his fingertips became cold, without any warmth left.

He was confused, and the will of fire that he had followed all his life completely collapsed. He did not resist, but just silently watched his companions, the people he had once risked his life to protect, pushing himself to the execution ground.

He knelt in front of the guillotine, his eyes slowly sweeping over the villagers below the execution ground. Their expressions were different, some cheered, some applauded, and some cursed viciously, as if Jing had raped and killed their mother, but Jing had no recollection of having offended these people.

"I was really wrong..."

His face was pale and his lips were tightly sealed. At this point, no amount of explanation would work. These people didn't even tie him up because they were sure he wouldn't resist.

He did not beg for mercy, nor did he curse. He just silently looked at this group of people who wanted him dead. He buried all the grievances and unwillingness deep in his heart, turning them into a biting cold.

"So... this is what it feels like to be betrayed..."

The time had come, and the elder of the Shimura clan who was in charge of the execution immediately waved his hand, and the executioner took the order and prepared to raise the guillotine.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the clear sky, and with a "crack" sound, it struck the executioner, leaving him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

The dazzling lightning made everyone in Konoha rub their eyes even in the daytime.

When their vision became clear again, they were shocked to find that a figure had appeared beside Jing without them noticing.

"It's almost time. You should come with me." Shen Yu tilted his head slightly, smiling pure and innocently, "Brother."

Jing remained indifferent, his eyes were dull and lifeless, like grapes that had lost their vitality.

"It's so ugly!" Shen Yu spread his hands, with a cold smile in his tone, "Look, this is the real ninja world, this is the real human heart, this is the so-called Konoha Village!"

……

In the Land of Fire, on a cliff somewhere.

"You have a good eye. This place is beautiful with mountains and clear water, which is just right for a duel." Shen Yu put his hands behind his back and leisurely admired the beautiful scenery. "I have not been idle this year. I have developed some interesting things. It's a good opportunity to test my sword on you."

Jing asked softly: "Brother, did you do all this?"

"Except for starting the war, I did nothing, and I didn't even participate in the whole process." Shen Yu raised the corner of his mouth, "Isn't it ridiculous?"

Jing looked up blankly at the clear blue sky, "I used to think that protecting my companions was the same as protecting the village... But the ending now tells me that I was wrong..."

"Do you feel wronged now?" Shen Yu shook his head gently, "Konoha has never been a glorious place. You may be the first person to bear the same tragic fate, but you will definitely not be the last."

He wrinkled his nose, suddenly impatient, "Well, let's start the battle. Your ridiculous five-year agreement to protect Konoha has no meaning at all."

"Come on, I'm ready." Jing took a deep breath and pointed to his chest, "Kill me if you can."

An afterimage flashed, and Shen Yu pierced Ruojing's chest with a sword. Green light pierced his heart, leaving a bloody hole on his chest and back, and even a dozen large trees behind him were pierced by the sword energy.

Jing coughed up blood and took a few steps back, spreading his hands into his arms. Shen Yu thought he was going to take out ninja tools, but it turned out to be just a scroll.

"I don't know how to move forward. Perhaps my disappearance is a better choice for Konoha and my brother."

He threw the scroll to Shenyu, then slowly raised his hand, his fingertips reaching towards his eyes.

"I know you planted a spell in my heart to protect my pupil power. This did help me a lot in the war, but it is meaningless now..."

As he said this, he dug out his own eyes with his own hands and handed them to Shen Yu tremblingly.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have betrayed you back then. I know these words are useless now, but this is the only way I can compensate you." Jing showed a tragic smile, with red-gold blood flowing through his tightly closed eyelids. "Brother, you should go and see the future for me..."

"That scroll contains the Wood Release Ninjutsu developed by Lord Hashirama. Perhaps it will be helpful to you..."

He took two steps back and opened his arms as if he wanted to hug someone. His black hair moved without wind. A rich breath of life gradually filled the air, and he felt refreshed just by taking a breath.

The surrounding flowers and plants grew wildly, and a touch of freshness spread in an instant. Large flower fields sprang up, with pink peach blossoms, green willows, and rich fragrance. As the breeze blew, petals of various colors fluttered in the sky, and the fallen petals were colorful.

Shen Yu stared at his brother, his eyes warm, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"In another year, my child will be born in Konoha. Whether he is unhappy or not, it is up to you to deal with him."

The body of the mirror began to emit a sacred white light. The light became increasingly intense, eventually illuminating the entire daytime sky and earth.

"Goodbye, brother."

The light bloomed, and a giant tree with lush branches and leaves rose from the ground. The ground continued to shake. Countless strong tree roots spread in the soil. The surging air flow swept over the flower field, blowing up the petals.

The Uchiha Mirror disappeared.

In its place was a towering tree that was hundreds of meters high and required dozens of people to hug, as well as a beautiful, colorful field of flowers.

Shen Yu stood in the flower field for a long time in silence, his black tribal robe rising and falling in the wind.

Finally, he closed his eyes to his brother, put his hands in his pockets, and walked away.

"From today on, the grudge between you and me is over."
