Chapter 165 - Chapter 165 Mangekyō!

[You stayed in Konoha to protect the Uchiha clan.]

[Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama fought. After the battle, Madara was "killed," while Hashirama was severely injured.]

[Hashirama returned to Konoha but soon fell gravely ill, barely clinging to life. To eliminate you, Senju Tobirama framed Hashirama's impending death on you, claiming you had tampered with something.]

[The Uchiha clan was rejected by Konoha because of this accusation. You attempted to lead the clan out of the village, but no one was willing to follow you.]

[You left Konoha alone. Senju Tobirama confronted you in battle. Your head was cut off, yet you did not die. Shocked, Tobirama chopped you into pieces, and this time, you truly died…]

"Emmm…"

"From the Uchiha's perspective, the Second Hokage is really a menace."

"But Neji's talent is still a little low. His two brothers awakened the Mangekyō one after another, while he stayed stuck at three tomoe. Only after Izuna died and Madara gained the Eternal Mangekyō did he finally awaken the Mangekyō."

"Orochimaru's weird hobbies and Danzo's patience did help him invent things, but in the end, he still couldn't beat Senju Tobirama…"

[Simulation ends.]

[Simulation evaluation: A genius of the Uchiha clan who stayed in Konoha for his people, only to be killed by Senju Tobirama's constant targeting. A tragic fate…]

[System Rating: 5]

[Reward: Level 5 Physical Enhancement]

[Bonus Reward Obtained: Uchiha Selection Card]

Naruto closed his eyes and felt the changes brought by the physical enhancement.

To be honest, after so many enhancements, his chakra strength no longer depended solely on the Uzumaki and Senju bloodlines.

The system's boosts were also a huge factor.

But the most important thing this time was the Uchiha bonus card.

"System, use the Uchiha selection card to obtain the Uchiha bloodline."

[Ding~ Reminder: The host can directly obtain the character's Mangekyō Sharingan. Would you like to choose the character's original Uchiha bloodline?]

Naruto was stunned for a moment. "It works like that? Good thing the system is generous!"

"However…"

"If I gain the Mangekyō Sharingan directly, I won't experience the emotional event that determines Mangekyō abilities."

From the Mangekyō abilities in the original series, Naruto already understood the pattern.

From a god's-eye perspective, he could see how each user's emotional trauma influenced their powers.

Shisui wanted to save both the clan and the village but couldn't bridge the gap — thus, the strongest genjutsu that rewrites the will, Kotoamatsukami, was born.

Itachi crumbled under despair after Shisui's death — so he awakened Tsukuyomi, a world of illusion to escape into, and Amaterasu, pure destructive intent.

Sasuke learned the truth and wanted to burn down everything — thus, Amaterasu combined with powerful Flame Control.

Obito witnessed Rin's death and broke completely — no illusions, no hesitation, just pure desire to disappear from reality. Hence, Kamui.

So, a Mangekyō user's emotional experience greatly shaped their abilities.

If Naruto accepted the Mangekyō directly, that part of the process would be lost.

He thought for a moment.

"System, show me the Mangekyō ability first. If it suits me, I'll take it. If it's terrible… I'll choose the original bloodline."

After all, if he chose the original bloodline, he would need to experience a Mangekyō awakening himself.

And Naruto was not interested in experiencing tragedy just to unlock new powers.

[Ding~ The character's Mangekyō abilities: Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu.]

Naruto: "…Huh?"

Isn't that Itachi's combination?

Actually, in terms of pure power, Madara's Mangekyō ability seemed stronger.

If Tsukuyomi could be replaced with Flame Control, it would be perfect.

It couldn't be changed, but this set was still acceptable.

"System, choose the character's Mangekyō Sharingan."

[Ding~ Reward card successfully used. Host obtains: Mangekyō Sharingan.]

Naruto's eyes twitched as a wave of soreness, pressure, and heat surged through them — but the discomfort quickly faded.

Memories and instincts related to the Uchiha bloodline, Mangekyō, and Uchiha chakra flow appeared naturally in his mind and body.

Right afterward, new system messages arrived.

[Ding~ Mission Completed. Reward: +4 Simulation Chances]

[Ding~ New System Mission: Combat Power reaches 350,000

Reward: +4 Simulation Chances]

[Ding~ Mission Completed. Reward: +4 Simulation Chances]

[Ding~ New System Mission: Combat Power reaches 400,000

Reward: +5 Simulation Chances]

Naruto quickly glanced at his status panel.

His combat power had jumped straight to 380,000.

"Huh…"

So the early-stage power of the Uchiha bloodline was indeed terrifying.

And just by obtaining Mangekyō Sharingan he completed two missions, gaining eight more simulations.

If this continued, the number of simulation chances would only grow.

A true virtuous cycle.

Still, Naruto didn't start the next simulation yet.

He wanted to test the Mangekyō first.

"Mangekyō Sharingan — open!"

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a strange red glow appeared, with a simple rotating shuriken-like pattern.

It was the exact same shape as Itachi's Mangekyō.

The moment it activated, Naruto felt everything sharpen.

His dynamic vision, perception, clarity… all surged to an entirely new level.

Even the slightest shift in the air couldn't escape his sight.

No wonder Uchiha clansmen carried themselves with such pride.

Their bloodline really was this powerful.

Naruto scanned the training ground — tree stumps, targets, training tools.

He casually looked toward a tree stump and whispered:

"Amaterasu."
