Although Kisaragi was a little surprised by Uchiha Mikoto's strength, everything was still under his control. Even if Mikoto had the strength of an Elite Jōnin, she couldn't escape from Kisaragi's grasp. After all, Kisaragi was the strongest member of the Uchiha clan.
"Mikoto, you should know my strength. If I want your grandfather dead, it wouldn't be difficult."
"Your grandfather is a supporter of Uchiha Fugaku. He's opposed to me, so I'm considering eliminating him. Do you want me to do it?"
At this moment, Kisaragi appeared calm and composed, but his words were like a devil's whisper to Uchiha Mikoto.
"My grandfather is the Great Elder. You wouldn't dare," Mikoto challenged.
"The patriarch Uchiha Nagisa was indirectly killed by me. Do you think I would hesitate to act?"
Kisaragi's words shattered Mikoto's last hope. According to what her grandfather had said, the patriarch's sudden death from an explosion was indeed connected to Kisaragi. Her grandfather was already old and definitely no match for Kisaragi—perhaps not even in his prime. If Kisaragi dared to strike at the patriarch, why wouldn't he dare to strike at the Great Elder?
Kisaragi suddenly let go of Uchiha Mikoto, then turned around.
"I'll give you ten seconds to think about it, and then I'll leave. I'm not someone who enjoys pressuring others," he said, lying smoothly.
But at this moment, Uchiha Mikoto shouldn't be given too much time to think. He needed to cut through her resistance quickly.
"10, 9, 8, 7... 2, 1..."
Just as Kisaragi reached one and was about to leave, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly grabbed his hand.
Kisaragi smiled, a smug grin spreading across his face.
"I'll do it," Mikoto said, tears dripping from the corners of her eyes, making her look pitiful and evoking a desire to protect her.
If Kisaragi had been soft-hearted, he might have let Uchiha Mikoto go. But he was anything but soft-hearted.
He picked up Uchiha Mikoto and carried her to her bedroom.
…
About an hour later, Kisaragi, now fully dressed, walked out of Mikoto's room.
Mikoto followed behind, clenching her fists tightly, and her walking posture was slightly off.
Before Kisaragi could leave, Mikoto spoke tiredly, "Remember what you promised me. Don't hurt my grandfather."
Uchiha Mikoto's parents had died when she was young, and her grandfather had raised her. He was her only remaining family member.
"That depends on your future behavior," Kisaragi replied. "I'm not satisfied with your performance today."
Although Uchiha Mikoto was beautiful, her lack of cooperation left Kisaragi less than impressed.
"You..." Mikoto began, but Kisaragi left without another word, showing no mercy.
"What should I do in the future?" Mikoto wondered in despair. She wiped her tears, having lost her most precious innocence, and felt she had violated her own moral code.
The worst part was her current situation. How could she face Uchiha Fugaku in the future? She could no longer consider marrying him.
Mikoto's inner turmoil was of no concern to Kisaragi. He had no time to dwell on her feelings now.
…
"System, report the rewards to me again," Kisaragi ordered.
While he had been otherwise occupied, the system had already notified him of a reward, but at the critical moment, he hadn't had the time to pay attention.
[Ding, congratulations to the Host for acquiring: Mangekyō Sharingan, Evil Value +50,000]
"Damn, is the reward really that huge?" Kisaragi was shocked by the massive gain.
He had extorted a billion ryo from the Uchiha clan before, but the reward he received now far surpassed that. The Mangekyō Sharingan, which Kisaragi desired the most, was now his, along with 50,000 points of Evil Value.
This reward, obtained through his encounter with Uchiha Mikoto, left him in a state of disbelief. But after Kisaragi extracted the reward, the surge of terrifying pupil power made it clear that it was no illusion.
"I wonder what the pupil technique of my Mangekyō Sharingan is? System, extract the reward," he commanded.
Cool energy poured into his eyes, followed by a sharp pain that quickly subsided. The power in his eyes was now several times greater than when he had only the Three Tomoe Sharingan.
Not only did his pupil power increase, but his Chakra levels also surged. He had been close to Kage-level before, but now Kisaragi had fully entered that tier.
Now, Kisaragi was a true Kage-level powerhouse. With the Mangekyō Sharingan, he stood among the best in terms of combat strength.
"The right eye's pupil technique is Tsukuyomi, but the left eye's technique is even more terrifying," Kisaragi noted.
The right eye's technique, Tsukuyomi, was an illusion. It allowed Kisaragi to pull an enemy's spirit into an illusionary space where he controlled everything, from time to place, to the very laws of nature. As long as the target saw his Mangekyō Sharingan, they would be caught in the illusion, making it nearly impossible to defend against.
The left eye's technique was even more formidable—Jikan Teishi or time-stop. It allowed Kisaragi to freeze time itself, with the duration depending on the amount of pupil power and Chakra expended. This ability was nearly invincible, with the only drawback being its high cost.
In addition to these two powerful techniques, there was also Susanoo, which could be activated by using the Mangekyō Sharingan. Known as a divine technique, Susanoo symbolized destruction, with the saying that seeing it once meant certain death.
"This reward is incredible, and I have Uchiha Mikoto to thank for it," Kisaragi thought, smirking.
What Kisaragi desired most was the power to control and dominate everything. Compared to that, women, power, and money were secondary.
After nineteen years, Kisaragi had begun practicing Chakra, and he had tried everything to grow stronger. He had even avoided relationships with women in his quest for power.
In fact, Uchiha Mikoto was the first woman he had been with since crossing into this world.
"Although I've obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan and broken through to Kage-level, it's not enough," Kisaragi mused.
He couldn't ignore the inherent flaw of the Mangekyō Sharingan: blindness. To overcome this, he needed to evolve it into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
To achieve this evolution, Kisaragi would need to transplant the Mangekyō Sharingan of a sibling. However, he had no siblings, not even a single blood relative.
If he wanted to unlock the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, his only option was to rely on the system.
Until then, Kisaragi knew he couldn't afford to abuse the Mangekyō Sharingan's power. Not until he evolved it into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
