Senju Tobirama: "When he opened his eyes, he managed to awaken a Tomoe without fainting. It seems that this Sasuke is more talented than the one from the original world."
Senju Hashirama: "I think it's amazing to awaken the Sharingan at the age of seven. Madara, I remember you opened yours when we were separated, right? How old were you back then...?"
Uchiha Madara: "Hashirama, shut up!"
Terumi Mei: "So the famous ancestor of the Uchiha clan awakened his Sharingan after being separated from the First Hokage? That's such a touching love story!"
Jiraiya: "This is a unique Konoha bond... turns out it existed even in the First Hokage's time."
Senju Tobirama: "I've always felt that your relationship with Madara was... abnormal. A bit too close, brother."
He even felt that his own bond with his brother wasn't as close as the one Hashirama had with Madara!
Uzumaki Mito: "Indeed."
Senju Hashirama: "Tobirama, Mito, don't overthink it!"
Hatake Kakashi: "Hey, weren't we talking about Sasuke's Sharingan?"
Orochimaru: "I have a feeling that one Tomoe isn't the limit for this Sasuke."
Uchiha Sasuke was just as curious.
After all, he was me.
Why is there such a big difference between me and my parallel world counterpart?
[Arriving back home.]
[The parents' bodies were no longer there—maybe they had been carried away.]
[Only two pools of dried blood remained on the floor.]
[Just last night, right here!]
[His parents were killed—killed by Uchiha Itachi!]
[Intense pain, anger, and hatred surged into Sasuke's heart.]
[His One Tomoe Sharingan began to spin, faster and faster.]
[As it spun, another Tomoe slowly appeared.]
[Two Tomoe Sharingan—both eyes now with two Tomoe!]
"Is this... the Two Tomoe Sharingan?!"
In the real world, Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists in jealousy.
This is so unfair!
He had awakened a Tomoe on the night of the massacre—but after that, nothing.
Later, in the Land of Waves, his Sharingan activated again, and only one eye evolved into a Two Tomoe Sharingan. It hadn't been that long since.
And yet, his parallel world self awakened a Two Tomoe Sharingan just the next day after the massacre?
Why is the gap so huge?!
Hatake Kakashi: "The Sasuke from the parallel world seems to have more talent..."
Kakashi glanced at his Sasuke, then at the gold-framed screen.
The difference was painfully obvious.
From mental maturity, to emotional resilience, to Sharingan aptitude—it was a total mismatch.
Orochimaru: "Look, it's not over yet!"
[After Sasuke's eyes evolved into Two Tomoe, the Tomoe in his scarlet pupils didn't stop spinning!]
[His emotions kept intensifying.]
[The pupil power in both eyes surged even more violently.]
[The Tomoe spun faster and faster!]
[Tap!]
[An Anbu appeared and placed a hand on Uchiha Sasuke's shoulder:]
["Calm down. Control your emotions. If it becomes too much, I'll take you away immediately."]
[Sasuke's mind cleared.]
[He slowly separated himself from the storm of emotion that had taken over him.]
[The Tomoe stopped spinning.]
[The scarlet eyes faded, and his natural black pupils returned.]
["No... I can handle it," Sasuke said.]
Orochimaru : "??? That's it? Who was that Anbu?! Mind your own business!"
Originally, he had been looking forward to seeing whether the parallel world Sasuke could unlock the Three Tomoe.
But that plan was ruined by some random Anbu appearing out of nowhere.
With his emotions interrupted, how could the Sharingan continue to evolve?
Senju Hashirama : "Don't be so impatient. If you're too young and the Sharingan becomes too powerful, it might not be a good thing. It puts a heavy burden on the body."
Sarutobi Hiruzen : "Shodai is right! I think the Anbu made the right call. Compared to upgrading the Sharingan, Sasuke's physical condition should be the top priority."
To be honest...
Sarutobi Hiruzen had been a little scared just now!
Only seven years old, and Sasuke's Sharingan was already on the verge of evolving into Three Tomoe!
If he's already like this as a child, what will he be like when he grows up?
Even more concerning—this Uchiha Sasuke from the parallel world clearly has doubts about the truth behind the massacre.
Now that's a problem.
Hatake Kakashi : "Indeed. The Sharingan really does put a lot of strain on the body."
Orochimaru : "That's because you're an outsider, with no Uchiha blood."
Jiraiya : "There's no need to stress so much about power. Even if you start off slow, you can catch up later. It's possible to rise from behind."
Orochimaru : "Heh..."
From Orochimaru's point of view, physical burden? What a joke.
If the body couldn't handle it, find a way to make it work.
If the Sharingan is too heavy on the body, just transplant First Hokage cells.
That's what Danzo did, and he's still alive, isn't he?
For Orochimaru, bloodline and talent came before everything.
If the Anbu hadn't interrupted the Sasuke of the parallel world, maybe he would have awakened Three Tomoe on the spot.
And maybe, he could have continued evolving… even further.
If that didn't work? Dig up the bodies of Uchiha Fugaku and the others to trigger more emotional trauma.If that didn't work either, cut a few wounds into the corpses and stimulate him again.
Intense emotions—that's what unlocks the Mangekyō Sharingan.
With talent like that, the Sharingan of the Sasuke from this world must not be wasted.
Uchiha Fugaku : "The Sharingan talent of Sasuke in that other world… it surpasses even Itachi."
Uchiha Mikoto : "I just hope Sasuke can stay safe."
[Sasuke wandered alone through the empty, lifeless home.]
[The things left behind by his parents, and his own belongings… he sorted through them one by one, deciding what to take.]
[Daily necessities…The usual family photos…The ninjutsu scrolls stored at home…A few miscellaneous books…]
[He packed everything up.]
[It was time to say goodbye to this home.]
[Afterward, under the guidance of an Anbu, Sasuke moved into the new residence arranged by the Third Hokage.]
[That evening, while unpacking at his new place, Sasuke looked through the items he'd brought back.]
[Among them, he found a book: "The History of Konoha," published by the Uchiha clan.]
