The little child, only five years old, still in a state of ignorance, had those innocent eyes, still retaining a hint of clarity and foolishness, gradually replaced by a dazzling scarlet....
"It's the Sharingan!"
"It really is the Sharingan!"
"The young clan leader... he really can help everyone awaken their eyes!"
Who knows who let out such an exclamation in the hall!
The quiet shrine was stirred up by a wave of noise, excitement... shock... emotions intertwining and fueling a storm that swept over everyone in the hall.
Uchiha Setsuna's raised cane paused in mid-air; this time, he didn't need to intervene anymore.
Behind the old man, Uchiha Fugaku's eyes widened silently watching the young man concentrate deeply on infusing negative emotions into Shisui's heart... scenes of Roy's childhood surfaced in his mind, and the child seemed to have grown considerably in this negligence, with some things seemingly not wanting his father to know.
"Buzz..."
The blood-red color spread solidly, gradually outlining the shape of a tomoe, with invisible waves spreading out...
Everyone in the main hall, such as Uchiha Hachida, Uchiha Inaho, and Uchiha Tettetsu, held their breath, watching without blinking... at the edge of the doorway, Obito stood in a daze, mouth agape, drool dripping down, unnoticed, a wave rising in his heart, looking at Shisui as if seeing himself... if only it were really himself...
No one wants to be the underdog, nor does anyone want to be the underdog... every time Obito trained with Rin and Kakashi, led by Minato Namikaze, only to be outclassed by Kakashi, he fantasized more than once... if one day he could also awaken the Sharingan, and put Kakashi in his place, making Rin see him in a new light, what a splendid thing that would be.
Even if it was just once against Kakashi, it would be good.
However, now... this opportunity seemed to finally be appearing....
Uchiha Obito stared straight at the glaring tomoe symbol in Shisui's crimson eyes, slowly solidifying... then appeared a second one....
Shifting his position, he moved cross-legged a bit closer to the front of the hall.
[Alert... one "potential believer" detected....]
[From the desire for power, Uchiha Obito is racking his brains trying to improve his relationship with the host... Loyalty +10....]
"Negative emotions" injected slowly and steadily like transparent glue....
Roy steadied Shisui's mind using [Sun Characteristics], hearing the prompt sound at his ear, he glanced towards the door, timely...
Uchiha Obito grinned widely, showing a large set of teeth....
[Alert.... one "potential believer" detected....]
[From the desire for power, Uchiha Inaho is racking his brains trying to improve his relationship with the host... Loyalty +10....]
[Alert... one "potential believer" detected....]
[From the desire for power, Uchiha Tettetsu is racking his brains trying to improve his relationship with the host... Loyalty +10....]
[Alert... alert... alert......]
Under one corner of the shrine's eaves, the wind chimes jingled....
At the same time, the sound of continuous prompts echoed in his ear....
When Roy didn't settle for just helping Shisui awaken one tomoe, instilling more "negative emotions" to help awaken the second, and third tomoe.....
It was like the sound of shattered realizations echoed constantly in the main hall.....
Uchiha Setsuna's hand holding the cane fell, his white beard quivering, wanting to ask the young man... can you help people awaken even more tomoe?
Yet afraid to disturb Roy, he stood silently aside constantly adjusting his emotions,
Behind him, Uchiha Fugaku's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, then eased, then sketched a smile, no need to say more, just a sweeping glance at the gathered Uchiha clan members... looking at Roy again, heart relaxed, a sudden clarity....
"Yes... never mind if he conceals it or hides his capabilities, he is ultimately my son."
"Just this, as long as this, is enough!"
[Negative emotion infusion: 50%... Current remaining: 220%....]
The moment the third tomoe appeared in Shisui's pupils... Roy released his right hand, lightly tapping the young man's shoulders...[Prompt: Conferment ceremony completed....]
[Power Of Faith +1]
Shisui's follower panel immediately appeared before Roy's eyes.
[Follower: Uchiha Shisui]
[Constitution: 78 (Note: Acupoints not opened)]
[Manifested Nen Amount: C-: 10000/100000 (Note: Approximately 0.1 Kakashi units at the full power of Kakashi as a reference)]
[Potential Qi Amount: B+: 78/100(M) (Note: Approximately 7.8 Kakashi units at the full power of Kakashi as a reference)]
[Evaluation: C (A potential Ant King-level powerhouse awaiting acupoint opening to compensate chakra deficiency, could match Ant King in adulthood)]
With a slight shift in gaze, he exhaled softly....
"Whew~" Negative emotions were extracted....
The bloodline shackles broke...
As the three tomoe gently spun in Shisui's eyes, the young man looked up at Roy, softly called out, "Nissan."
Roy lightly patted the young man's back, smiled gently and said, "Congratulations, Shisui."
In an instant... the solemn silence due to everyone's concentrated breath broke into activity!
The excited sound of swallowing echoed around...
Appropriately, a pair of withered hands grabbed tightly, Uchiha Setsuna's gaze burning, holding Roy's shoulders, the cane dropped, clattering to the ground,
"Child, you... really did it...."
Tears glistened at the corners of his eyes, Uchiha Setsuna choked, overwhelmed with emotion... the other Uchiha, such as Hachida, Inaho, Tettetsu, and the many clan members who lost siblings... parents... cherished friends and family, stepped forward together...
Roy glanced through the crowd, making eye contact with Uchiha Fugaku who had been inadvertently pushed aside by the crowd, the latter nodded with a smile, an unspeakable comfort.
"Glad not to fail in my mission." the young man smiled and said.
"Arson... young clan leader... you are too modest....."
