Land of Fire border
Konoha and Hidden Mist battlefield.
Smoke billowed across the scarred earth, which was covered in bloodstains and broken kunai and shuriken.
On the edge of the battlefield, some thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys and girls were whispering.
"Taiga, I heard them say that Golden Flash's disciple, Rin Nohara, has been missing for several days."
"Alas, Uchiha Obito just sacrificed himself, and now it seems the situation for the other missing disciple isn't good either…"
Uchiha Akira leaned against a tree trunk, feeling the wind, and casually listened to the idle chatter of a few people nearby.
This was a trap set by Uchiha Madara to make Uchiha Obito awaken his Mangekyo Sharingan and completely fall into darkness.
As a transmigrator, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with them.
After enjoying the evening breeze for a while, Uchiha Akira patted the dust off himself and turned to walk towards his tent in the forest.
Uchiha Akira, a transmigrator, 17 years old, possesses a Three-Tomoe Sharingan; a Chunin-level Ninja, skilled in Fire Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, Uchiha-style Ninjutsu, and Medical Ninjutsu.
When he transmigrated, it was Konoha Year 49, the peak of the Third Shinobi World War.
He landed in the Uchiha Clan. His predecessor, upon witnessing the death of a close friend, evolved his Sharingan to Three-Tomoe. After a fierce battle, he died alongside a Hidden Mist Jonin, which led to the current Uchiha Akira.
It is now Konoha Year 50. The transmigrator Uchiha Akira has not only fully mastered his predecessor's Ninjutsu but has also further developed some advanced Ninjutsu while using his Sharingan to master some Medical Ninjutsu.
At this time, the war was nearing its end. Although the intensity of the war was not as high as in Year 49, many influential figures experienced a change in their mindset this year.
For example, Uchiha Obito, and Nagato.
However, for Uchiha Akira, none of this mattered; it was not something he could interfere with.
Leaving aside whether he had the strength, even if he did, he wouldn't know how to interfere.
Moreover, without a system or a cheat, he only wanted to live well and live as long as possible.
Having experienced death once, he understood how precious and hard-won life was.
This was the Hidden Mist and Konoha front line, located on the eastern border of the Land of Fire.
One of the main forces on this front line was the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan, with other Ninja clans and civilian Ninja forming the other main force.
Just as he returned to his camp, a steady, powerful footsteps sounded.
Uchiha Akira turned around and saw Uchiha Fugaku, wearing a Jonin vest, walking towards him.
Seeing him, Uchiha Akira's heart sank; his intuition told him that he might be in trouble.
Uchiha Fugaku earned the title 'Fierce Eye' on the battlefield. He was powerful, one of Konoha's top combatants, and one of the high-level commanders here.
At the same time, Uchiha Fugaku was also his teacher. Over the past year, Uchiha Akira had received a lot of guidance from him.
Now that he had come in person, it certainly wasn't for a casual chat; there must be a special mission.
"Clan Head," Uchiha Akira greeted, steeling himself.
Uchiha Fugaku nodded, looking at Uchiha Akira: "Akira, there's something I need you to do."
Uchiha Akira felt helpless, but he could only bite the bullet and say: "Clan Head, please tell me."
"We found traces left by Rin Nohara and Kakashi. They are being pursued by a large number of Hidden Mist Anbu. Rin Nohara alone isn't worth such a large-scale operation by Hidden Mist. Go investigate what's happening," Uchiha Fugaku said seriously.
Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's words, Uchiha Akira's heart sank; it was indeed not good news.
This was an extremely dangerous matter. The Hidden Mist forces pursuing Kakashi and Rin Nohara might number in the hundreds.
Facing such a large number of Hidden Mist forces, if he were discovered and surrounded, he wouldn't fare well with his current strength, and there would be a high risk.
Uchiha Fugaku nodded and said: "It's just a simple investigation. We don't have many people from the Uchiha Clan that can be spared right now, and only you have this strength."
Hearing Uchiha Fugaku say this, Uchiha Akira knew that he had no choice but to go on this investigation.
Uchiha Fugaku wasn't entirely clear about Uchiha Akira's strength, but he knew that Uchiha Akira's strength far exceeded that of ordinary Uchiha and was not far from his own.
Uchiha Akira felt helpless, but he could only nod and say: "I understand, Clan Head. I'll take care of this matter."
He would definitely accept the mission, but how he would carry it out and to what extent would depend on his mood.
He had already decided to just wander around the edges of the mission area.
Hearing his words, Uchiha Fugaku nodded in satisfaction, feeling that his dedicated teaching over the past year had not been in vain.
He looked at Uchiha Akira with a solemn expression and said: "I know this matter is very dangerous, but there's no other way. Our Uchiha Clan needs more leverage for negotiations with the higher-ups, so I can only trouble you."
"There's nothing more I can teach you in terms of Ninjutsu." He took out a scroll and handed it to Uchiha Akira, saying: "This is our Uchiha Clan's ultimate Genjutsu, and also a Kinjutsu, called Izanagi."
"Izanagi?" Uchiha Akira took the scroll, deliberately showing a puzzled expression.
Of course, he knew about this Uchiha Clan Kinjutsu.
This was an ultimate Genjutsu activated at the cost of a Sharingan.
It could turn unfavorable events that occurred within a certain period into events that never happened, choosing only favorable events to become reality, which was truly heaven-defying.
"This Jutsu represents our clan's former glory. I won't explain much; you'll understand when you read it yourself," Uchiha Fugaku said, a hint of pride on his face.
After telling Uchiha Akira the location of the mission area, Uchiha Fugaku turned and left. As one of the battlefield commanders, he didn't have much time to spare.
Uchiha Akira glanced at it and immediately mastered Izanagi; a Sharingan user could activate it by forming the Boar, Dog, and Ram hand seals.
After leaving the Konoha camp, Uchiha Akira immediately slowed down his pace.
Rin Nohara's capture by Hidden Mist was a deadly trap set by Uchiha Madara for Uchiha Obito.
He couldn't arrive too early or too coincidentally. If he ran head-on into a darkened Uchiha Obito, that would be bad.
With his current strength, facing Uchiha Obito, who possessed Wood Release and an awakened Mangekyo Sharingan, would definitely lead to more bad than good.
Uchiha Akira secretly thought: "It's best not to encounter anyone, to avoid trouble…"
He instinctively didn't want to stir up too much trouble.
Transmigrating into a member of the Uchiha Clan already put him in a huge predicament, and he didn't want to attract any more trouble.
However, what he feared came true; at this moment, Murphy's Law took effect.
Uchiha Akira had just stepped into the mission area and started to wander when he saw a desolate and tragic battlefield.
On the shattered earth, horribly disfigured corpses, as if crushed by some immense force, lay strewn about in disarray.
"Killed by Wood Release combined with Kamui's power, truly tragic…" Uchiha Akira sighed with emotion.
Kamui combined with Wood Release was indeed terrifying. The Hidden Mist Anbu were more numerous than he had imagined!
Uchiha Akira immediately spotted Kakashi Hatake, with his silver hair, lying in the center of the battlefield.
Coming before Kakashi Hatake, Uchiha Akira's heart stirred: "Perhaps this is my only chance in this life to possess the Mangekyo Sharingan…"
The difficulty of awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan varied from person to person. For Uchiha Akira, he knew he probably had no hope in this lifetime.
"With this eye, I'll have the confidence to face what comes next… I'm sorry, Kakashi, I'll borrow it for a while… I'll return it to you later."
Uchiha Akira bent down, first using Medical Ninjutsu to put Kakashi into the deepest state of sleep, then directly dug out his left eye.
Next, Uchiha Akira gritted his teeth, and with a muffled grunt, he directly dug out his own left eye.
He placed Uchiha Obito's left eye, obtained from Kakashi, into his own eye socket.
He placed his own left eye into Kakashi's eye socket.
Uchiha Akira covered his own left eye with his right hand and Kakashi's left eye with his left hand.
The next moment, both of his hands glowed green.
Under the rapid recovery of Medical Ninjutsu, a few minutes later, Uchiha Akira completed the eye transplant surgery.
