Uchiha Kagami appeared calm, but inside, he was seething with anger as he marched toward the village center.
By chance, he encountered several lone Sound Ninjas around a corner.
"There's someone here; hurry up and kill him!"
"Go, all the ninjas in Konoha deserve to die."
Before Uchiha Kagami could act, the Sound Ninjas charged at him first.
Kagami sneered and quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
A massive fireball erupted from Kagami's mouth, hurtling toward the Sound Ninjas.
The Sound Ninjas seemed competent. When faced with the fireball, one of them used Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall to defend.
Why didn't they use Water Style?
It was simply because they lacked the strength and there was no water available to them.
"It looks like you're more than just ordinary soldiers."
The fireball failed to hit, and Kagami decided not to continue the attack.
He had intended to massacre the Sound Ninjas to release his frustration.
Quietly activating his Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Kagami employed his unique eye technique, Mugen Kōsō, on a tall Sound Ninja.
"Oh no, the person over there seems to be from the Uchiha clan and has the Sharingan."
"Nonsense. The Uchiha clan was wiped out. The entire clan consists of only two people: the murderer Uchiha Itachi and an orphan named Uchiha Sasuke. The man over there clearly isn't Uchiha Sasuke, so he can't be from the Uchiha clan."
"What about his Sharingan?"
"Are you an idiot? Do you think that's his Sharingan? Uchiha's Sharingan is categorized into one tomoe, two tomoe, and three tomoe. Do you think the pattern on his eyes resembles tomoe? It looks more like a shuriken."
When Uchiha Kagami heard this, he raised an eyebrow, noting that while this person had some knowledge, it was quite limited.
"Could he be wearing cosmetic contact lenses?"
"The fuck, beauty contact lenses."
The person who spoke angrily hit the other and then hurriedly urged, "Hurry up and deal with him. We still need to go to other places to continue the destruction."
"Okay."
Just as these Sound Ninjas were preparing to attack Uchiha Kagami again, the tall Sound Ninja took the first step.
Not towards Uchiha Kagami, but towards these Sound Ninjas.
"Ah~ Stone, what are you doing?"
"Stop it! Are you crazy?"
"Idiot, I'm going to tell Lord Orochimaru that you betrayed us."
Stone's attack was unexpected.
These people never imagined that there would be a traitor among them.
Without any warning, Stone killed three of them with a kunai.
The remaining two also suffered injuries, but it did not affect their movements.
"Yoru, what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Retreat!"
As the two men were about to escape, Kagami, who had been watching from the sidelines, took action.
He did not use any ninjutsu but instead appeared in front of the two escapees and slashed at their necks with a kunai.
Kagami's speed was so rapid that the two Sound Ninjas had no time to react.
By the time they did, one of them had already had his throat cut.
"Yoru, get out of here."
The man held Kagami tightly, preventing him from killing Yoru.
Yoru was quick to obey and started running without looking back.
Looking at the Sound Ninja who was clinging to his fallen companion, Kagami said with a hint of regret, "It's a pity that the person you wanted to protect will eventually die."
After speaking, Kagami calmly placed the Sound Ninja on the ground, retrieved some shurikens and kunai from his ninja tool bag, and without aiming, threw them towards Yoru's back.
Hearing the sound of breaking air from behind, Yoru knew an attack was coming.
As he ran forward, he dodged left and right, trying to evade the assault. But his efforts were completely in vain.
The kunai and shuriken, guided by Uchiha's throwing techniques, deviated from their original paths and headed straight for Yoru's back.
This time Yoru had no chance to dodge and was quickly pierced by the kunai and shuriken, turning him into a human sieve.
"Who are you?"
Despite not being dead yet, Yoru turned his head with great difficulty and faced the approaching figure. "Can you let me die with a clear mind?"
"My name is Uchiha Kagami."
"Haha, so you really are from the Uchiha clan."
With that, Yoru's eyes grew dim.
"Kagami, I can no longer be a Sound-ninja."
The last Sound Ninja, the burly figure in front of him, named Stone.
Stone approached Kagami with a smile, placing his right hand on Kagami's shoulder, as if they had known each other for years and were very familiar.
"If you can't do it, then forget it. It's no big deal."
Upon hearing this, Stone was overjoyed and asked, "Are you saying that I can join Konoha and become a Konoha ninja?"
Kagami shook his head and replied, "That's not what I meant."
Stone looked at Kagami in confusion. "Then what do you mean?"
"I mean you can go die."
With that, Uchiha Kagami drew his kunai and swiftly slashed Stone's throat.
"Why?"
"Because dead people don't need to be ninjas."
Stone: "Is that what I want to ask? I want to ask you why you want to kill me. Damn it!"
Looking at the stone corpse, Kagami shook his head and murmured, "This eye technique of Mugen Kōsō seems to be quite effective."
Indeed, the reason Stone attacked his fellow Sound Ninjas was that he was affected by Uchiha Kagami's Mangekyō Sharingan technique: Mugen Kōsō.
"Twist the other person's will, make a man become my good friend, and make a woman fall madly in love with me."
"This technique is truly sinister."
"But that's expected. After all, I'm from the Uchiha clan, so it's normal for my eye technique to be a little wicked."
After using the technique once, Kagami's understanding of Mugen Kōsō deepened significantly.
He realized that making Stone rebel against the others involved some degree of luck.
If these people had a deep bond with Stone, even if Kagami wanted him to betray them, it would be impossible.
As good friends, it makes no sense for them to assist anyone else. The most that can happen is that neither side will help.
When Stone attacked without hesitation, it was clear that he did not have a good relationship with these people and might even harbor a grudge against them.
As for why Kagami wanted to kill Stone in the end, it was simply because Kagami did not need him as a friend.
The two were originally enemies, so it was best to just eliminate him.
"But regardless, Mugen Kōsō is indeed powerful."
"It requires a month of waiting before it can be used again."
Covering his swollen left eye, Kagami took a deep breath and left with steady steps.
It was not until much later that Konoha's Anbu ninjas arrived, beginning to clean the scene and collect the bodies.
