Uchiha Nan sneered as the Lava Release Rasengan in his hand dissipated, and he addressed Uchiha Tomita:
"Lava Release, a trump card?"
"I think you misunderstand. This is just a little trick to quiet them down."
Nan said disdainfully, glancing at the embarrassed Uchiha members.
Tomita's heart sank, a sense of foreboding creeping over him. The clan meeting had spiraled out of control from the start.
What is Uchiha Nan planning now?
Does he have a real trump card?
"My real trump card is this."
Mangekyō Sharingan Experience Volume-1
An immensely powerful Mangekyō Sharingan's pupil power emerged in Nan's eyes.
Cold, evil, chaotic—a surge of negative emotions flooded Nan's mind, driving a desire to destroy everything in front of him.
No wonder those who unlocked the Mangekyō Sharingan often went mad. Bearing this power could indeed drive one insane.
But then a calming breeze dispelled these feelings, the power of the turntable taking effect.
"Hahahaha, this is the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan!!"
"It's truly intoxicating!"
With the turntable's aid, Nan had perfectly mastered this borrowed power. Now he understood why Uchiha Sasuke, freshly awakened to the Mangekyō Sharingan, dared to confront the Five Kage Summit alone.
Nan felt he could take on ten of himself, the explosive growth of power dizzying.
Now, facing Senju Tobirama would not faze him; the Mangekyō Sharingan's power far exceeded his expectations. He and the three-tomoe Uchiha ninja were now two entirely different beings.
Nan laughed freely on stage, unconcerned about any sneak attack from Tomita.
"Impossible, impossible..."
"This level of power, the Mangekyō Sharingan?!"
"You've unlocked the Mangekyō Sharingan!!"
Tomita shouted, the Mangekyō Sharingan being the eye he had pursued his entire life, as had the entire Uchiha clan.
The Susanoo that blotted out the sun, the power to cleave mountains and seas with a single stroke!
The power once wielded by Uchiha Madara!
Today, it had reappeared!
"Hahaha, the heavens have eyes!"
"The Mangekyō Sharingan has appeared!!"
"The divine power of the Uchiha clan!!!"
"The future of Konoha belongs to the Uchiha clan!!!!"
The elders of the Uchiha clan, initially mere spectators, now screamed hysterically.
Moments ago, they were frightened by Nan's molten Rasenshuriken, but now, feeling the Mangekyō's pupil power emanating from him, they were ecstatic.
The power they knew well, once wielded by Madara, had returned.
No one knew the terror of the Mangekyō Sharingan better than they did. Uchiha Nan was the future clan leader, and no one could oppose it!
Anyone who dared would be dealt with!
The elders instantly declared Nan the future patriarch. Only he could lead the clan back to Madara's era.
With no Senju Hashirama in Konoha now, and Senju Tobirama dead, who could resist the Uchiha's divine power?
"Patriarch Uchiha Tomita, do you now see my trump card?"
The Sharingan in Nan's eyes had shifted from tomoe to a six-pointed star pattern.
This time, the experience coupon granted Uchiha Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan.
A towering Susanoo phantom appeared. Nan, barely tapping into the Mangekyō's power, gazed at Tomita intently.
Tomita was speechless, his eyes filled with fear and envy. Why couldn't he possess these eyes he had always dreamed of?
"Uchiha Nan!!"
"He is the leader of the Uchiha clan!!"
"He is the future!!!"
The clan elders shouted wildly, pointing at the Susanoo phantom behind Nan.
That's it!
"Susanoo!!"
"The unrivaled power of Uchiha!"
"Uchiha Nan!"
"Uchiha Nan!!!"
A roaring cheer, surpassing any prior, erupted. The Uchiha were in a frenzy.
The power of the Mangekyō Sharingan made them forget Nan's earlier misstep.
For such a powerful individual, wasn't it natural to be arrogant and domineering?
Wasn't it expected for challengers to the strong to face dire consequences?
They survived thanks to Lord Uchiha Nan's mercy!
In seconds, the Uchiha had shifted their mentality, becoming staunch supporters of Nan.
"Quiet!!!"
Nan's command silenced the crowd instantly, all eyes fixed reverently on him.
Even the dozen Uchiha who were attacked earlier now wore expressions of reverence. They conceded defeat and were entirely convinced.
"Uchiha Tomita, I'll give you a chance now, a chance to challenge me. If you win, the clan leader position remains yours!"
Nan decided to crush opposition and break spirits. Today, he intended to make a grand display. The experience coupons he'd saved and hesitated to use would be wasted if not used to their fullest.
"I... I..."
Tomita hesitated, overwhelmed. This was madness!
He couldn't win. Nan's eye power alone was enough to overwhelm him.
"Do you want to lose without a fight, or do you want to be a true Uchiha and challenge me bravely? It's not shameful to lose!"
Nan, seeing Tomita's hesitation, quickly taunted him, aiming to provoke. Otherwise, Tomita might really surrender.
Tomita realized instantly that Nan sought to make an example of him, and now he was backed into a corner.
Being ousted by Nan wasn't shameful. After all, Nan was an Uchiha with the Mangekyō Sharingan. But lacking the courage to fight was unworthy of a proud Uchiha.
The worst that could happen was death!
Tomita wasn't afraid of death and doubted Nan would kill him. A cunning Nan, who had concealed his true nature for 16 years and awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, wouldn't be so reckless. Nan still needed to consolidate control over the clan.
"Then let's fight!"
Tomita regained the spirit befitting a clan leader, facing Nan with determination.
Hearing Tomita's words, Nan smiled, thoroughly satisfied with the day's events.
