Konoha's Ninja Successor

"Are you ready to go? Sasuke." Uchiha Itachi smiled as he watched Sasuke put on the protective gear he gave him.

Recently, it was rare that he canceled his work and was free at home. He also enjoyed family happiness with his family for the first time in a long time.

"Well, today I'm going on a mission with Kakashi-sensei and the others. This seems to be a C-level mission. I finally get rid of the D-level chores of weeding and finding cats. I've long been tired of it." Sasuke tied the protective gear on his hands. , while complaining about the dullness of daily tasks.

"The path of a ninja is not achieved overnight. Even D-level tasks must be taken seriously. Low-level tasks often promote the growth of a ninja." Uchiha Itachi said with a smile on his hips. This is the teaching of his elder brother to his younger brother.

However, Sasuke seemed a little impatient, waved his hand and said, "I know, Kakashi-sensei has been saying this so many times that my ears are getting calluses."

When Sasuke was a child, he was obviously very attached to his brother, but he didn't expect that now that he has grown up, he is not as dependent on him as before. Seeing that Sasuke, who used to be very obedient and well-behaved, is gradually starting to become a bit rebellious, Uchiha Itachi's mood is also a bit complicated.

On the one hand, Sasuke has grown up, and on the other hand, he no longer relies on him. It's a feeling of both joy and worry.

Itachi smiled bitterly and rubbed Sasuke's hair vigorously. After ruffling Sasuke's hair with a little revenge, Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke seriously when Sasuke protested and finally said: "Sasuke, when you go out on a mission, you must act as captain." Prioritize your orders and never act without authorization. Kakashi-senpai is a very good ninja, you must respect him and learn from him and your teammates with an open mind."

When Sasuke saw Uchiha Itachi's serious look, he also sighed and said, "I know, Kakashi-sensei is very strong, so I naturally want to learn from him and then surpass him."

"Well, then I'm relieved." Uchiha Itachi nodded.

"Hey! Bastard Sasuke, if you don't leave, we'll leave! Are you nervous about performing a C-level mission for the first time? No, no, there are still people who are nervous about this kind of thing, right?"

This voice was obviously Naruto's, and only that energetic young man could speak with such energy.

Sasuke closed his eyes and clenched his fists. The veins on his forehead were obviously bulging. He gritted his teeth and said, "This idiot Naruto!"

After putting on the last shoes, Sasuke opened the door, looked at Naruto coldly, and said coldly: "Idiot!"

"Ah?! Sasuke, you guy! Who are you calling an idiot?" Naruto immediately jumped up and down angrily, and approached Sasuke with a ferocious expression like a gangster.

"You're too close!" Sasuke pushed Naruto away with one hand, then looked at him mockingly and said, "Whoever responds to me is the one I'm talking about."

"ah?!"

"Hey! You two, please calm down." Seeing the two young enemies Sasuke and Naruto confronting each other again, Kakashi helplessly covered his head, saying that he was very tired.

When Uchiha Itachi saw this, he also showed an apologetic wry smile to Kakashi.

Then Kakashi left with the two living treasures who had finally settled down, while Uchiha Itachi looked at the backs of several people with a smile on his face.

At this moment, the smile on Uchiha Itachi's face disappeared instantly, and he noticed that someone seemed to be hiding in the dark and peeking at him.

Uchiha Itachi immediately looked back at a big tree in the distance, but there was no sign of anyone above or below the tree, and the feeling of being watched disappeared.

Could it be my imagination... Uchiha Itachi frowned and looked around the big tree. After confirming that no one was there, he looked away. He secretly sighed that he had been busy with tasks and his nerves had become too sensitive.

But just after Uchiha Itachi turned around and left, a black shadow stood behind the big tree. The black shadow once again secretly looked in the direction of Uchiha Itachi's home, and then disappeared from its place.

When Uchiha Itachi was just about to change his clothes and go to Uchiha Izumi to eat meatballs, Uchiha Fugaku walked up to Itachi and said: "Itachi, you should be fine now, come with me."

Uchiha Itachi looked at the unconcealed joy in his father's eyes, nodded silently, temporarily gave up the joy of enjoying sweets, and left with his father.

Two 10 minutes later.

Teru Shimura is in the secret laboratory of the Root Organization.

Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi both stood there and waited for Shimura Teru, who was dressed in white study clothes, to sort out their utensils, while Uchiha Shisui was leaning not far away with his eyes closed to rest.

"Father, what do we want?" Uchiha Itachi looked at his father in confusion. Until now, he had not said what he was going to do with him.

"You and I are very likely to be able to take the advanced form of the Mangekyou Sharingan one step further. This is also to prepare for possible wars in the future. Konoha also needs the power of our Uchiha clan!" Uchiha Fugaku said about the power of the eyes. His pursuit is more urgent than before. Ever since he saw the Samsara Eye, he has always felt that his past vision was very narrow.

The ninja world is a world where strength is respected. Only by having enough power can you protect what you cherish. The Uchiha clan not only wants to survive in the ninja world, but the Uchiha clan also wants to become the No. 1 sect in Konoha, and even the ninja world. The first big family!

Ambition will grow, and having ambition is not a bad thing. After all, it is also the pursuit of advancement, right?

"The... advanced form of the Mangekyo Sharingan? How is this possible..." Uchiha Itachi widened his eyes in disbelief. He always thought that the Mangekyo Sharingan was the ultimate form of the Sharingan, but he didn't expect it. Is there room for strengthening the Mangekyō Sharingan?

After Shimura Teru confirmed that all the necessary equipment was ready, he turned around and answered Uchiha Itachi's doubts.

"Itachi, regarding the advancement of the Mangekyō Sharingan, I actually discussed this research with your father half a year ago. Thanks to the help provided by your father, it is possible to witness the birth of a new power today." Teru Shimura He put on white medical gloves and said with a smile.

Seeing that There was no joy on Itachi's face, Shimura Teru knew that his sentimental apprentice was worried about this possible new power again. He probably couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing now.

Shimura Teru continued: "The longer the Mangekyo Sharingan is used, the greater the risks associated with it. When those eyes bring powerful pupil power, they will also cause considerable damage to the user's own vision and body. Damage. Users of the Mangekyou Sharingan will become blind due to overuse when they first activate it. Your eyesight should have declined."

Uchiha Itachi nodded silently. Although he had always refrained from using the Mangekyō Sharingan, sometimes he still needed the power of the Mangekyō to perform high-level tasks. His vision and even physical fitness had declined.

Shimura Teru looked at Itachi with a smile: "Because of this side effect, the Mangekyo Sharingan is destined to have a powerful ability with a limited use time. And the advancement of the Mangekyo Sharingan I mentioned will break this curse and allow you to Your eyes have eternal light, and they can even enhance your pupil power."

"One more thing, the risk of surgery is almost zero, and your eyes will not be damaged if it fails." Shimura Teru smiled and patted Itachi on the shoulder, signaling Itachi not to be so nervous.

"Teacher..." Itachi looked at Shimura Teru who was comforting him, and finally showed a smile.

Zhisui looked at Itachi and smiled: "What a pity. I really want to get the power of the eternal kaleidoscope. I really envy you, Itachi."

"Why can't you get the Eternal Kaleidoscope, Shisui? Do you mean that?" Itachi's puzzled expression swept away, and then he remembered that he came with his father. Could it be that the advanced Eternal Kaleidoscope is related to the bloodline between father and son?

Shimura Teru saw Itachi's Mingwu eyes, and then sighed: "Itachi, you are a smart man. It seems that you also understand that there is a very important factor in opening the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, which is that two people must have it at the same time. This can be achieved only if one has the Mangekyō Sharingan, and the two have similar bloodlines.”
