Inside the laboratory, the air was so thick it was almost suffocating. Uchiha Sasuke curled up on the cold floor, his body trembling uncontrollably, a beast-like whimper coming from his throat.
Orochimaru stood to the side, his eyes shining as he stared intently at Sasuke, as if observing some rare strain undergoing violent mutation in a petri dish.
Hinata turned to leave, but before she did, she still heard Sasuke's pained voice.
"Heh... ugh..."
[Go eat if you're hungry]
...Sasuke's fingernails dug deep into the floor, making a harsh scratching sound.
In his mind, scenes from the past were like shards of a broken mirror, spinning wildly and cutting into his nerves.
That moonlit night, Itachi's cold words: "My foolish little brother, if you want to kill me, then resent me, hate me, and live an ugly life of survival..."
The sight of his parents lying in a pool of blood... the desperate screams of his clansmen... all along, what supported him to live and grow stronger was the bone-deep hatred for that man! It was the flames of revenge!
But now... someone was telling him that all of this was a lie? That man he hated to the bone—everything he did was actually to protect him?
"To protect me... he could kill our parents?! He could slaughter the entire clan?! What kind of protection is that?! What is this!!"
Sasuke suddenly looked up and let out a heart-wrenching roar. The Sharingan in his eyes emerged again, spinning like an out-of-control windmill, the crimson light almost overflowing.
Intense emotional fluctuations triggered the massive Chakra within his body, which surged uncontrollably toward his eyes. That power was so turbulent that the veins around his eye sockets bulged, waves of tearing pain came from his eyeballs, and his vision began to turn blurry and blood-red.
"Oh? Highly condensed Chakra, accompanied by extreme mental anguish and cognitive upheaval..."
Orochimaru recorded with great interest, murmuring.
"Heh heh heh, it seems the intensity of the stimulation is just right."
Sasuke felt as if his brain was about to be torn apart by two diametrically opposed emotions. On one side was the deep-seated hatred that had seeped into his marrow; on the other was the "truth" that shattered all his perceptions like a sledgehammer.
Trust and betrayal, protection and slaughter, love and hatred... these extremely opposing elements collided and exploded wildly in the depths of his consciousness!
He seemed to see Itachi standing before him again, tapping his forehead with a finger.
Extreme pain, confusion, the anger of being deceived, the despair of a collapsing faith—the images of his loving older brother and the cold-blooded Itachi began to overlap.
Various extreme emotions, like boiling lava, churned and accumulated in his chest, eventually all turning into fuel, pouring into those eyes that craved power and were being torn apart by it!
Sasuke's whole body arched like a shrimp, one hand clutching his eyes tightly.
Between his fingers, dark red blood mixed with uncontrollable tears gushed out!
At that very moment, he felt some kind of shackle that had always restricted the power of his eyes shatter completely.
The fingers covering his eyes were suddenly snapped away by an invisible force! Sasuke jerked his head up—
The light in the laboratory seemed to dim for an instant.
Sasuke's Sharingan had completely changed! The crimson base remained, but the black patterns around the pupils were no longer simple Tomoe; they had transformed into a more complex, eerie form filled with a sharp beauty.
The Mangekyo Sharingan had awakened.
A massive Ocular Power, far colder and deeper than before, seemingly capable of freezing the Soul, spread out from Sasuke like a tide.
Sasuke stood dazed, his newly born Mangekyo Sharingan, streaming with bloody tears, staring straight ahead.
Everything in his vision was covered in a faint blood-colored filter; the world seemed to become clearer.
He could feel the massive and unfamiliar power contained within his eyes, but what this power brought was not joy, but a deeper pain and emptiness.
The foundation of his hatred had collapsed. He had lost his old goal for living, and where was the new path?
Looking at Sasuke's brand-new Mangekyo Sharingan, which held astonishing potential, the smile on Orochimaru's face became even more brilliant and greedy.
"Subarashii! A perfect form! To awaken the same eyes as Itachi at such a young age... This Aptitude, Sasuke-kun, you truly have never disappointed me!"
He licked his lips, calculating in his mind. Although the "Resurrection" project had a higher priority, a young body with a fresh Mangekyo Sharingan still held immense research value and attraction as a "backup plan."
Sasuke didn't seem to hear Orochimaru's words; he just slowly raised his hand, touching the tear stains mixed with blood on his cheek.
For whom did these tears flow? For his deceived self? For Itachi, who carried everything? Or for that past filled with lies and blood that could never be returned to?
He only knew that from this moment on, his life had completely changed.
The road ahead was a mist, and the only clear thing was those newly awakened eyes that symbolized pain and power—the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Outside the laboratory, Hinata, who hadn't gone far, clearly captured the eruption of that cold and powerful Ocular Power with her Divine Sense.
She didn't stop her pace, a hint of realization flashing in her pure white eyes.
"As expected, it awakened."
[Ding! The host indirectly prompted Uchiha Sasuke to successfully awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, greatly changing his destiny and power progression, and causing a decisive impact on the subsequent plot!]
