The evolution process took longer than expected. The towel covering Xin's eyes gradually turned crimson, soaked with blood. Bleeding eyes had practically become a signature move of the Uchiha clan at this point.
After what felt like ages, the evolution finally completed. Xin pulled off the bloodied towel and headed to the bathroom.
In the mirror, his Mangekyō Sharingan gleamed with a sinister red light, its six hooked points glowing ominously.
"My second unique ability has arrived," Xin said, raising his hand. A ball of lightning- based chakra formed in his palm.
The orb looked a bit like a Rasengan, but it wasn't. It was just a sphere of concentrated lightning chakra—a skill known as Lightning Burst.
When thrown, it explodes with incredible power. In the game, it was one of the higher- damage skills, especially for area attacks.
"Damn, evolving the Sharingan really takes it out of you," Xin groaned, rubbing his temples as a wave of dizziness hit him.
The evolution had drained his mental energy. Shaking his head to clear the fog, he deactivated his Sharingan and collapsed onto his bed.
Testing out his new Mangekyō abilities would have to wait-he was too exhausted.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Rain, Tsunade angrily slammed a scroll down on her desk. "Why am I the one who has to handle this?!"
She fumed. "Just because we're shorthanded doesn't mean I should have to go negotiate!"
Tsunade was furious. Jiraiya wasn't lifting a finger, and Orochimaru didn't care either. Why did she always have to be the one to deal with these problems? It was completely unfair.
Jiraiya, who had just come by to chat and maybe try to ease the tension, immediately regretted it. Seeing Tsunade's wrath, he shivered in fear.
He had the sinking feeling that if he said the wrong thing, he might actually die.
"Uh... how about this?" Jiraiya suggested nervously, scratching the back of his head.
"Why not send Xin with you? You've always said he's sharp-tongued and good at arguing. Perfect for negotiating, right?"
"Shut up!" Tsunade glared at him, making Jiraiya shrink back.
"Uh, I just remembered-I have something I need to talk to Orochimaru about! Gotta go!" Jiraiya mumbled before bolting out of the room.
"GET OUT!!" Tsunade roared after him, watching as Jiraiya ran for his life.
"Seriously, he thinks I should take Xin to negotiate?" she muttered to herself. "He's gotta be kidding."
Jiraiya yelled back as he ran: "C'mon, Tsunade! The kid's got the skills and the talent! He's got a silver tongue, too! Perfect for this job!"
"If the old man gave him a special rank assessment, promoting him to jonin, it wouldn't be an embarrassment for Konoha, right?" Jiraiya shouted from a distance.
Xin had the strength. The only thing he lacked was the official rank.
But did that really matter? One wave of the Third Hokage's hand, and the promotion could be done in an instant. Xin wouldn't even need to take a formal test. And even if there was a test, with his abilities, it'd be a cakewalk.
So why not let him handle the negotiations? Was it just because he was young?
