3 Chapter 3: I Have a Sacred Tree

Looking at Fūnan's Mangekyō Sharingan, Shisui suddenly had a thought.

What will the Sandaime-sama's expression be like when he knows that Uchiha now has three pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan?

After a moment of silence, Shisui looked at Itachi, with horror and regret in his eyes, and said: "Itachi, when did you awaken from the Mangekyō Sharingan?"

As the owner of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Shisui knew very well how heartbreaking the price of such a pair of eyes was.

Although Fūnan also has a Mangekyō Sharingan, Shisui was leaning more towards his awakening during the Third Shinobi World War.

On that battlefield of blood and fire, nothing would be surprising. The death of a companion or a relative may become an inducement. But what about Itachi in peacetime? Why was Itachi forced to this point?

A rare hint of embarrassment appeared on Itachi's face. He scratched his head and said: "Shisui-aniki, I understand what you mean. I have not experienced that pain."

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

Itachi lowered his head and said nothing.

Shisui came back to his senses and said sheepishly: "Sorry, Itachi, I was just too surprised."

For a ninja, information is essential as it can mean life or death for a ninja.

Exploring each other's secrets is the most impolite behavior, even if the other person is a very good friend!

"No, it's not that, it's just..." Itachi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Because of me!" At this moment, Fūnan suddenly intervened.

His words made Shisui's eyes widen again.

Fūnan? Because of him, Itachi possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan? Can a Mangekyō Sharingan be made artificially?

"Haha, don't show such an expression, Shisui, we all have some special abilities, don't we?"

Fūnan was hinting at something.

Shisui instantly thought of his pupil technique, Kotoamatsukami.

That supernatural ability surprised him, so it didn't seem strange to him that Fūnan also had special powers.

Observing Shisui's shocked expression, Fūnan smiled and then sank deep into his consciousness.

In the sea of his consciousness, there is a towering tree that seems to accommodate the entire world. It stands there, growing quietly. The big tree has a thick trunk and is full of vitality. The bark cracked, revealing shapes reminiscent of small dragons, showing an ancient air.

At the base of the large tree, there was an old face with all his features, sporting a long beard, his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping.

At the top of the tree grew two silvery fruits, resembling shiny gems.

Fūnan's consciousness passed over the fruit.

LV-3 (Fire Release)

LV-4 (Pupil Power)

This is Fūnan's golden finger after rebirth in the world of Naruto.

Fūnan called it: World Tree.

The World Tree absorbs life energy and grows.

After the life energy reaches a certain level, fruits will be produced. The more energy, the higher the level of the fruit.

As for how to obtain that life energy...both animals and humans can provide it. You just have to make them lose their ability to resist.

During the Third War, Fūnan absorbed the life energy of the ninjas. After the war, he began to absorb the life energy of animals.

The two fruits were the accumulated result of Fūnan's last years. They could become his power at any time.

"I am still a little short of reaching LV-4 with the Fire Release Fruit. I will eat it when it grows to LV-6! Moreover, the third fruit is about to appear."

Fūnan focused on the center between the two fruits. His gaze was deep. There, there is a special force gathering.

When he first came to this world, he was confused and scared. If it weren't for Goldfinger, he would have died long ago.

After killing the first enemy and absorbing the opponent's life energy, the first fruit awakened, and he set it as the Fire Release Fruit.

Although it is only the initial level of LV-1, it also greatly increases the power of his Fire Release.

After consuming a few more LV-1 and LV-2 fruits, he transformed into Fūnan, the Blood Flame.

For the second fruit, he chose Uchiha's bloodline, the Sharingan. He thus awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. He had already planned for the third fruit.

Although Shisui would not completely obey his orders, at least he would not do anything bad.

Everything was prepared, the plans could be put into motion. An evil smile appeared on Fūnan's handsome face.

According to the plot of the Naruto Series, the fateful Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre seems to be approaching. Does that mean... that Shisui is close to dying?

In this case, let's take action! I can't let him die, right?

Moreover, once Danzō gets Kotoamatsukami, it will be very troublesome.

After dealing with Shisui and Itachi, Fūnan slowly enters a quiet courtyard, carrying a bird cage and a cup of tea.

The courtyard has a simple appearance, and the heavy and cracked gate is full of traces of time. The yard is very big, but there are not many people there, so it looks empty.

Fūnan knew this place well and headed straight towards the backyard.

The servants and guards on the road greeted him respectfully after seeing him.

By the pond, under the cherry blossom tree, an old man was sitting with tea in front of him, as if he was admiring the flowers.

His face was thin, his eyes were sharp, and his body exuded a cold and icy aura. The air seemed to freeze around him.

"Hey, old man, what are you thinking about? You can't even hide your murderous intent."

Fūnan wandered up to the old man and said teasingly: "Maybe you're remembering when you rebelled and Sarutobi Hiruzen beat you up?"

The old man's face darkened, he stared at Fūnan fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "You little bastard, your skin is itchy, isn't it?"

Fūnan sat down, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it by himself.

The old man's face turned darker, and he looked at the empty teacup in front of him: "Where's mine?"

Fūnan looked surprised: "What I just said didn't make you full? Old man, have you become more able to bear it?"

[Bang!]

The old man without hesitation grabbed the cup in front of him and smashed it hard on Fūnan's head.

The next moment, the tea cup was back in front of him, and it was already filled with hot tea.

The old man never saw the whole process clearly. The scent of tea floats in the air.

"Elder Setsuna, despite his age, he still has such a hot temper."

Setsuna stared at Fūnan for a moment, the anger on his face slowly subsided, and he looked thoughtful.

Genjutsu? As an Elite Jōnin, when did he fall for the trick?

Looking at the smiling Fūnan, his heart moved. This kid's strength has become stronger again.

"Tell me, why are you willing to come see an old man like me today?"

"What nonsense are you talking?" Fūnan responded innocently. "You're my grandfather. It's not strange that I visit you, right?"

Setsuna sneered instantly: "Do you think I'll believe that?"

"I don't believe it either!" Fūnan spread his hands and said: "But don't blame me. You are the representative of the Hawks, causing trouble all day long. Being your grandson is too dangerous. What if one day someone puts me in a sack and then beats me, I wouldn't have anyone to cry to."

The veins on Uchiha Setsuna's forehead throbbed.

This grandson, who made him proud, was still so good at irritating people. He almost wanted to strangle him to death.

"Hehe..." Fūnan chuckled and said: "By the way, old man, I'm going to do something recently. Please remember to cooperate."

Setsuna frowned slightly for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Right now? At this troublesome time?"

The relationship between the village and Uchiha has become increasingly tense. Small-scale conflicts have already occurred in some places.

The three major factions within the Uchiha clan have frequent accidents with each other.

At this time, Fūnan, who has a sensitive identity, jumped out. Aren't you worried about becoming the target of public criticism?

"It's precisely because there are so many things going on that I have to come out!"

Fūnan curled his lips and said angrily: "Old man, I have a hunch that something big is going to happen, and Uchiha may be wiped out one day."

"Who will be destroyed?" Setsuna said disdainfully for a moment: "Just a Sarutobi Hiruzen?"

'I knew you had this tone and this expression. No wonder they exterminated the clan.'

Why couldn't they understand? How many times have they fought with Hiruzen overtly or covertly, and how many times have they not been beaten by him? Why can't they wake up?

"Don't look down on others." Fūnan said lazily: "Look at us Uchiha, even our clan has been forced to move. I haven't seen you organize any decent counterattack."

"That's because Fugaku, as the clan leader..."

"Don't make excuses, old man!" Fūnan interrupted Uchiha Setsuna's words, with a slightly serious expression, and said: "Isn't what Uchiha Fugaku did influenced by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others? Maybe, he Every move he makes is subconsciously based on other people's thoughts."

"You are all simply pawns on his board."

Setsuna's expression turned even gloomier in an instant.

After a long time, he slowly said: "What do you want to do?"

'I did it!' As expected from my biological grandfather, choosing you as the breaking point was a good choice!
