After receiving a new mission from the system, Trevor's mind was filled with anxiety. The Mangekyō Sharingan is something that not all Uchiha can achieve. However, with the guiding system, he feels there is a possibility to attain that power faster than expected.
Trevor started packing, gathering the belongings he had from the training over the past three days. Although still young and his strength not on par with the more experienced Uchiha ninjas, he felt that his body was much stronger than before. But the journey to the secret training location will not be easy.
He doesn't know where the secret location is. However, the system provides clues.
[ Location: Under the old temple at the border of Konoha. Be careful, there are many traps inside. ]
"System, can't you give me more hints about that trap?""Tanya Trevor while furrowing her brow." But the system just remains silent. Of course, he has to learn it himself. There are no shortcuts to true strength.
The journey to the Konoha border was not as easy as he had imagined. A dense forest stretched wide before him, and with no clear direction other than the vague guidance from the system, Trevor had to be cautious. He activated his Sharingan all the time to observe every detail and movement around him. Thanks to the Sharingan, he could see natural traps in the forest and avoid wild creatures hiding in the shadows of the trees.
The day began to turn into night as Trevor finally arrived at the old temple indicated by the system. The temple is located on the mountainside, secluded and appears to have been abandoned for a long time. Moss-covered boulders surround the entrance, and the cold night wind blows through the ruins, adding to the mysterious atmosphere.
[ Warning: You have entered a dangerous area. Beware of traps. ]
Trevor gazed at the temple carefully, taking slow steps toward the entrance. The air around felt heavy, as if something was lurking in the darkness. However, he/she has no other choice. If he wants to achieve Mangekyō Sharingan, he must go through this place.
"Alright, let's get started," murmured Trevor as he entered the temple.
Inside, the atmosphere grew increasingly gloomy. The dim light from outside barely penetrated, leaving a room full of shadows. Trevor dug into his bag and lit the small torch he had found on his journey. The torch provides enough light to see what is in front of it.
However, not long after taking a few steps, the ground beneath him began to tremble. "Damn!" he shouted, quickly jumping back. A mechanical trap exploded from below, launching sharp arrows that nearly hit Trevor.
[ Warning: Trap detected. ]
"I know!" shouted Trevor, feeling frustrated. But he also knows that this trap might just be the beginning. With caution, he continued his journey, relying on the Sharingan to detect subtle movements around him and trap patterns on the floor and walls.
At every step, Trevor faced various traps. There was a floor that suddenly collapsed, walls that released spinning blades, and even some ancient seals that emitted fire. Although the Sharingan helped him avoid many dangers, his body began to feel the fatigue from all the physical and mental strain he had experienced.
However, as he went deeper, something else caught his attention. A faint sound could be heard from afar, a hissing noise that resembled a large snake approaching. Trevor quickened his pace, trying to distance himself from the source of the sound, but the noise grew closer.
At the corridor's turn, Trevor found himself facing a large door that was tightly closed. Above the door is the Uchiha symbol, and below it, a carving shaped like a chakra seal.
[ Uchiha Test: Insert Uchiha chakra to open the door. ]
Trevor let out a long sigh. He pressed his hand against the seal, trying to focus his chakra. Hot air flowed from his body to the seal, and slowly, the seal began to glow red. However, the door did not open easily. A significant boost of chakra is needed, more than what he usually uses.
"C'mon Trevor," he murmured while concentrating all his chakra on the seal. With one final push, the seal finally opened. The giant door slid to the side, revealing a dark room filled with a mysterious aura.
Trevor stepped inside, feeling that the atmosphere in the room was different from other places in the temple. In the middle of the room, a stone altar stands, and on it lies an ancient scroll covered in dust. On the walls of the room, there are carvings depicting the history of the Uchiha clan—war, power, and the awakening of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Carefully, Trevor approached the scroll. Something inside him told him that this scroll contained the secrets to unlocking the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan. As he reached for the scroll, the system's voice echoed again.
[ Congratulations! You have found the Mangekyō Sharingan Scroll. Learn its techniques to achieve new power. ]
Trevor opened the scroll with trembling hands, his eyes sparkling with hope. The essence is a series of techniques and secrets that have been passed down through generations in the Uchiha clan, but most of these techniques can only be mastered through deep pain and great sacrifice.
"Mangekyō Sharingan...," he whispered. The scroll explains that to awaken this power, an Uchiha must undergo great suffering and experience a significant loss. Trevor was stunned. Is he ready to face the consequences of this power?
However, before he could reflect further, a buzzing sound came from behind him. Trevor turned around and saw a large figure approaching. A giant black snake with glowing red eyes stared at him from the darkness. It's not an ordinary snake, but rather the guardian of this place.
"There is no other way..." Trevor stood tall, feeling his adrenaline surge. The scroll fell from his hands as he prepared to fight. The giant snake lunged swiftly, trying to strike Trevor with its sharp teeth.
With quick reflexes, Trevor sidestepped and formed a hand seal"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" A large fireball shot from its mouth, striking the snake right on its head. However, the attack was not strong enough to defeat him.
The snake turned, glaring at Trevor with anger in its eyes. Trevor stepped back, looking for another way to survive. But the snake was too fast, and before he could react, the snake's tail struck his body hard, throwing him against the wall.
The pain coursed through Trevor's body, but he couldn't give up now. He rose again, even though blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth. "I have to gain this strength. If not, I will never be able to protect myself!"
With the last of his strength, Trevor stood up again, activating his Sharingan with a new intensity. The snake was preparing for its final attack, but Trevor was already ready. With a quick leap, he dodged the snake's attack and struck at its weak point.
[ Mission Completed: Defeated the Temple Guardian. Reward: Mangekyō Sharingan Lv. 1. ]
When the snake fell, Trevor felt a new strength flooding his body. His perspective began to change, and in the reflection of his Sharingan glasses, a new pattern emerged—Mangekyō Sharingan had awakened.
