Uchiha Madara had left.
He departed quietly, without ceremony and without allowing anyone to see him off. Alone, he walked away from the Hidden Mist Village that had only recently stabilized, setting out on an unknown journey toward Konoha.
The weight of the village now rested on other shoulders.
Inside a dimly lit chamber within the Uchiha compound, Uchiha Su sat alone at a wooden table. A thick notebook lay open before him.
It was the notebook Madara had entrusted to him.
Within its pages were records of the Uchiha clan's long history—stories from the chaotic Warring States Period, accounts of ancient battles, and secrets that had been passed down through generations of clan leaders.
Many of the stories inside could no longer be verified.
Centuries had passed since those events. Entire clans had risen and vanished during that era of endless war.
Still, the notebook contained information of immense value.
There were notes about the Three Great Sacred Lands, descriptions of rare summoning creatures, and even rough maps marking hidden habitats of powerful beasts.
Uchiha Su turned the pages slowly, absorbing every detail.
Suddenly, a particular entry caught his attention.
He leaned closer and read the line again.
War weapon… Uchiha Hikari.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Uchiha Su began reading the passage carefully.
The Tragedy of Uchiha Hikari
The Warring States Period had lasted for hundreds of years.
During those centuries, countless ninja clans fought brutal wars for territory and survival. Entire bloodlines disappeared in the flames of conflict.
It was during that chaotic era that a little girl named Uchiha Hikari was born.
She was an ordinary child at first.
But tragedy struck early.
Both of her parents died in battle while she was still young. Witnessing their deaths with her own eyes shattered her heart.
In that moment of extreme grief, Hikari awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
At the time, awakening such power was almost unheard of.
The Uchiha clan members soon discovered the young girl's extraordinary ability.
And from that moment on, her true tragedy began.
Instead of protecting her, the clan elders saw her as something else entirely.
They saw a weapon.
Because of her powerful Mangekyō Sharingan and astonishing combat instincts, Hikari was turned into a tool of war.
She was trained relentlessly and sent to the battlefield as the Uchiha clan's ultimate trump card against their greatest enemy—the Senju clan.
Over time, the elders even stripped her of her name.
To them, weapons did not need names.
They referred to her only as "the weapon."
Under their control, Hikari fought countless battles.
Her Mangekyō Sharingan abilities allowed her to overwhelm enemies with terrifying efficiency.
Gradually, the balance of the war between the Uchiha and the Senju began shifting.
More and more Senju warriors fell at Hikari's hands.
Eventually, the Senju clan realized the severity of the situation.
If Hikari continued fighting, the losses would become unbearable.
Thus, the Senju clan formed an alliance with another powerful clan—the Sarutobi clan.
Together, they created a plan.
Instead of killing Hikari, they decided to seal her away.
After an intense confrontation, the plan succeeded.
Uchiha Hikari was sealed in a hidden location.
And according to the records in the notebook…
That location was never revealed again.
Uchiha Su slowly closed the notebook.
His expression turned serious.
He reached for a nearby map and spread it across the table.
Then he extended his index finger and pressed it firmly against a specific location.
The border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Whirlpools.
The notebook described the location as an area filled with steep mountains and rugged terrain.
After carefully comparing the descriptions, Uchiha Su could roughly determine where the seal must be located.
His gaze darkened.
"I need Uchiha Hikari."
Inside the dim chamber, the candlelight flickered.
The shadows cast by the flame danced across the walls, twisting Uchiha Su's silhouette into something almost monstrous.
Without Madara, the Uchiha clan in the Hidden Mist Village lacked a top-tier combat powerhouse.
But if Hikari were released…
Then the clan's military strength would increase dramatically.
For a moment, Uchiha Su remained silent.
Then he began thinking aloud.
"The sealing technique probably won't be easy to undo."
The Uchiha clan was not skilled in sealing techniques.
Even Madara himself had never specialized in them.
To break the seal imprisoning Hikari, Uchiha Su needed assistance.
His thoughts immediately turned toward one place.
The Land of Whirlpools.
More specifically, Uzushiogakure, the village founded by the Uzumaki clan.
The Uzumaki were renowned throughout the ninja world for their mastery of sealing techniques.
If anyone could undo the seal, it would be them.
"I'll need to borrow some Uzumaki clan members…"
Uchiha Su muttered quietly.
He believed there was a good chance they would cooperate.
After all, the Uzumaki clan maintained friendly relations with the Senju clan, but political circumstances had changed greatly since the Warring States Period.
Still…
If they refused to help…
Uchiha Su's lips curved slightly.
"Then I'll simply convince them after activating my Gundam."
Sometimes, power made negotiations much easier.
The current leader of Uzushiogakure should still be Uzumaki Ashina.
Ashina was the founder of both the Land of Whirlpools and its ninja village.
He was known as the most skilled sealing master of his era and maintained a strong friendship with Senju Hashirama.
However, Ashina was already old.
He was more than sixty years old now—older even than Hashirama.
His remaining years were likely limited.
Uchiha Su leaned back in his chair.
Then he reached for a glass container placed carefully on a nearby shelf.
Inside the container rested a pair of eyes.
The Mangekyō Sharingan left behind by his father, Uchiha Taiga.
For a moment, Uchiha Su hesitated.
In theory, transplanting Mangekyō Sharingan should be done carefully.
But in the original stories of the ninja world, eye transplants were often… extremely crude.
People simply placed the eyes into the sockets and somehow it worked.
After a brief internal struggle, Uchiha Su made his decision.
He removed the preserved eyes from the container.
Then, without ceremony, he replaced his own Mangekyō with them.
The moment the two Mangekyō connected—
A powerful surge of ocular power flooded his body.
The energy merged and transformed into something greater.
A new pair of eyes was born.
The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
After a short moment, Uchiha Su opened his eyes again.
The petal-shaped patterns spun rapidly within his pupils.
He immediately activated Delusion Breaker.
This time, the effect was far greater.
Everything within a one-kilometer radius was reflected clearly in his vision.
The world felt incredibly vivid.
Even more importantly, whenever his ocular power was consumed, new power continuously replenished itself.
Uchiha Su quietly observed this phenomenon.
"So this is why the Eternal Mangekyō never goes blind…"
Before evolving into the Eternal Mangekyō, ocular power would gradually deplete with each use.
Eventually, the user's vision would deteriorate.
But now, the energy replenished itself.
This flaw had been completely eliminated.
Then Uchiha Su decided to test another ability.
"Susanoo."
Golden chakra erupted around his body.
A skeletal structure formed instantly, surrounding him like armor.
The enormous golden skeleton covered his entire body.
However, the feet were not fully formed yet.
This was the first stage of Susanoo.
Uchiha Su increased the flow of chakra.
The skeleton became more detailed.
Meridian-like patterns appeared, followed by layers of flesh-like chakra structures.
Soon, a shining golden warrior stood around him.
In its hand appeared a long blade resembling a Shimizu sword.
Uchiha Su swung it lightly.
BOOM.
The air exploded violently as the blade sliced through space.
This was the second stage of Susanoo.
At this level, he could also use techniques like Yasaka Magatama, a powerful projectile attack commonly associated with Susanoo.
However, Uchiha Su quickly felt the strain.
"I can only maintain the second stage for now…"
"If I push further, my chakra won't last."
The golden Susanoo gradually disappeared.
Uchiha Su sighed softly.
His biggest weakness remained the same.
His age.
At only six years old, his chakra reserves were still limited.
High-intensity battles could exhaust him quickly.
Still, he had no intention of becoming a Jinchūriki.
Even if he wanted to, the Hidden Mist Village currently lacked the sealing specialists needed to create one.
In fact, at this moment, the village had no Jinchūriki at all.
Both tailed beasts belonging to the Hidden Mist were still roaming freely in the wild.
"System… open the panel."
A transparent interface appeared before him.

Uchiha Su studied the panel calmly.
During the past months, he had pushed himself to the limit for someone his age.
Every technique had improved.
His chakra level had increased from B-rank to A-rank.
In simple terms, his chakra reserves had grown from roughly Chūnin level to Jōnin level.
He had also recently learned Fire Release: Fire Annihilation.
Of course, it was nowhere near as overwhelming as Madara's legendary version.
For now, it was simply an ordinary B-rank ninjutsu.
Just as Uchiha Su finished examining the panel—
A new notification appeared.
[Mission Issued: Rescue Uchiha Hikari]
[Mission Reward: Summoning Creature – Galio, the Colossus of Justice]
Uchiha Su blinked.
"Galio…?"
His expression became strange.
Memories from another world suddenly resurfaced in his mind.
He had expected the system to grant rewards related only to the ninja world.
He had never imagined it would suddenly cross over into something else entirely.
League of Legends.
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"If Galio's magic immunity works here…"
"Could it negate ninjutsu?"
Uchiha Su fell into deep contemplation.
The possibilities were… very interesting.
