After briefly confirming his wife's condition, Uchiha Kaijun finally let out a slight sigh of relief.
No matter what she had gone through earlier, as long as she was unharmed, other issues could be dealt with.
As for that black-clad bastard, today, he would personally end his life.
While running, Uchiha Kaijun formed hand seals, and a blast of hot breath surged forth, blooming like a magnificent fire rose.
Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!
Seeing this, the man in black quickly formed hand seals as well, releasing a torrent of water from his mouth, creating a dense, high water barrier around him, glowing with a faint blue hue.
Water Style: Water Formation Wall!
"Water Style ninja?" Uchiha Kaijun frowned. He hadn't expected that the enemy's chakra affinity would counter his own so effectively.
Drawing the long blade from his back, he leapt over the water curtain and slashed downward at the enemy in mid-air.
If ninjutsu wouldn't give him the upper hand, then close combat would determine the winner.
His Sharingan had been honed to perfection, and in hand-to-hand combat, he felt confident and unafraid of anyone.
"You can only blame yourself for not being born an Uchiha."
However, his mid-air strike was blocked by the enemy, who skillfully parried it. Kaijun quickly reversed his grip on the sword and made a horizontal slash, but the man in black dodged to the side once more.
"How is that possible!"
Determined to succeed, Uchiha Kaijun raised his long blade overhead, focused his mind, and suddenly unleashed a ferocious, flame-filled, rapid strike.
Uchiha Style: Glorious Slash!
One slash cut through the air, and Uchiha Kaijun was already preparing for the next attack. However, he soon noticed that the enemy didn't even attempt to evade.
"Not bad for a strike. Your fire chakra nature development is impressive."
As he spoke, the man in black lifted the hem of his clothes and revealed a slender sword that he had somehow been holding.
"Such a pity."
With a slight movement of his foot, the man in black immediately split into multiple illusions, and though the sun blazed high above, a pale blue crescent moon rose behind him.
Uchiha Style: Illusory Moon Swift!
The two figures crossed paths, pausing for just two seconds before a spray of blood erupted from Kaijun's chest.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Looking down at the short blade in his hand, he turned his body with great difficulty, his eyes filled with an overwhelming shock.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that the combat techniques of the man in black seemed to counter him perfectly.
Raising his bloodied hands, Uchiha Kaijun couldn't help but smile bitterly. He hadn't expected to be forced to use that person's unique technique in this fight.
"It can't be helped."
With a few quick hand seals, a surge of lightning gathered in his palms.
Chidori!
The violent lightning chakra rapidly stimulated the cells in Uchiha Kaijun's body, boosting his physical abilities and significantly enhancing his speed.
Chidori, with its high electrical damage, required a certain distance of sprinting to land an effective physical blow.
"Not bad," the man in black said with a wave of his hand, as if completely unconcerned. "Come on, give me your best shot."
"This person seems to know me very well." Uchiha Kaijun furrowed his brow, a growing sense of determination forming in his heart.
BOOM!
With a crash, the ground beneath his feet shattered, and his figure turned into a streak of light, speeding directly toward the enemy.
Seeing the force of his attack, the man in black took up a defensive stance, ready to counter Kaijun's Chidori.
Just then, the lightning in Kaijun's hands suddenly exploded, and a deadly bolt of lightning shot from his fingertips, piercing the enemy's chest in an instant.
With a cry of pain, the man in black coughed up blood. Under the influence of the lightning chakra, he could barely lift his arm.
"Hahaha, now you see my strength, don't you?"
"No one can underestimate me, Uchiha Kaijun!"
As he spoke, he did not forget to continue channeling more chakra into his attack.
This black-clad bastard had dared to harm his wife, and how could he let him die comfortably?
"Does it hurt? It should!"
Listening to the agonizing screams in his ears, it felt as though he was savoring the most beautiful music in the world.
But as he listened, Uchiha Kaijun suddenly sensed that something was off.
The voice of the black-clad man... it sounded strangely like...
BANG!
Before he could confirm his suspicions, the "wife" lying unconscious in the distance suddenly vanished with a puff of smoke.
A shadow clone?!!
Then... what happened to her?
Uncertain of what had crossed his mind, Uchiha Kaijun's body suddenly trembled, and his face was filled with an expression of horror, as if he were witnessing the end of the world.
He stiffly turned his head to look at the black-clad man, who was slowly collapsing onto the ground.
Step... step... step...
The five-meter distance took him more than ten seconds to cover.
His knees buckled as he slowly knelt before the man in black, extending his trembling hand to reverently lift the man's mask.
Um!
His throat made a sound as though something foreign was lodged in it.
The man's eyes were blank, his face devoid of color. The world reflected in his pupils seemed strangely unreal.
The face beneath the black-clad man's mask was that of his beloved wife, Uchiha Kochou.
"Why... why am I... no, someone, please... help..."
Holding his wife's lifeless body in his arms, Uchiha Kaijun appeared like a lost child separated from his parents, his entire body radiating an uncontrollable panic.
In his arms, Uchiha Kochou weakly opened her eyes, smiling as she gently reached up to touch her husband's face.
"Don't be sad."
"Now you have the power to defeat anyone."
In his tear-filled eyes, the traditional three tomoe pattern had already vanished.
What replaced them was a pair of eerie, scythe-like large windmills.
The long-awaited Mangekyō Sharingan had finally awakened, but it wasn't until this moment that Uchiha Kaijun truly understood one thing.
Why, according to the clan records, every member who successfully awakened their eyes would rather forgo these cursed eyes.
The excruciating pain that tore through his chest was a hundred, a thousand times worse than he had imagined.
"No, I don't want these eyes anymore."
"Please, please don't leave me, Kochou. I can't live without you."
Yes, the man deeply regretted it, believing that his own stubbornness had caused her downfall.
He had so many things he still wanted to say, but the woman in his arms had already lost her breath.
It was always only when one loses something that they come to truly realize what is most important to them.
[P.s; True🥺]
But alas, there is no such thing as "regret medicine" in this world, at least not in Uchiha Kaijun's hands.
Ahhhhhhh!!!!
Holding his wife's lifeless body, the man could no longer contain his fury. His scream reverberated through the sky and earth, like a vengeful spirit suffering endless torment in the depths of hell.
At that moment, clear footsteps suddenly sounded from a distance.
"All misfortunes in this world stem from the insufficient abilities of the people involved."
With each step, Kyōsuke walked toward the man, speaking with a detached tone, stating the harsh truth: "It's your foolishness that has led to this outcome."
"UCHIHA KYŌSUKE!!!"
Not wanting to even think about how he ended up here, Uchiha Kaijun, filled with raging fury with no outlet, finally turned his wrath upon the very person he feared most.
"Come, let me witness your abilities."
Kyōsuke unfurled his black cloak and calmly drew the Kusanagi sword from his waist. From beginning to end, he remained calm and composed.
