The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan—
finally awakened!
Although Qianyu had known this moment would come sooner or later, he still let out a quiet breath of relief.
Previously, no matter how powerful his Mangekyō Sharingan was, he could never truly fight without restraint.
If he pushed too hard, the consumption would become unbearable—even for him.
But now…
Everything was completely different.
The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan was not fundamentally different from the Mangekyō itself, yet it possessed far greater and more terrifying ocular power.
More importantly—
It completely eliminated the risk of blindness, erasing the greatest flaw of the Mangekyō forever.
Throughout the entire history of the shinobi world, those who had clearly awakened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan numbered only two:
Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Sasuke.
But Madara was dead.
Sasuke was still young.
In the present era—
Only Qianyu remained.
Only now did Qianyu carefully review his gains.
Killing Shimura Danzo had earned him 2,000 Merit Points.
Sealing the other Edo Tensei shinobi had brought in another 3,000 or so.
Adding the Root members who were eliminated along the way—
From this single battle alone, Qianyu had gained over 5,000 Merit Points.
Without hesitation, he poured all of them into his ocular power.
At this moment—
Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan Ocular Power: (11,500 / 50,000)
And as his Mangekyō evolved into the Eternal Mangekyō, the two Mangekyō techniques of his eyes were automatically pushed to perfect completion.
Kuyankibiko (1000 / 1000)!
Magatsuhi no Kami (1000 / 1000)!
As for Susanoo—
It directly leaped two major realms forward.
Skipping the third-stage Tengu armor entirely—
It advanced straight into the Fourth Form!
Fourth-Form Susanoo
This form possessed a complete body, achieving true, literal absolute defense, with no weaknesses or blind spots remaining.
It gained a lower body and legs, completely resolving Susanoo's greatest flaw—its lack of mobility.
And more than that—
Once Fourth-Form Susanoo was activated, in addition to his exclusive spiritual weapons, it could also wield a true Susanoo Greatsword.
The Susanoo Greatsword had no elemental attributes, no special abilities.
It embodied only one thing—
Ultimate attack power.
Overwhelming destructive force.
If the first three stages of Susanoo were half-bodied war gods—
Then the Fourth Form was a true divine incarnation descending upon the world.
Once activated, the user would stand within Susanoo's head, directly piloting and commanding its full might.
In other words—
This was the real Gundam.
Naturally, not having awakened the Perfect Susanoo yet caused Qianyu a trace of disappointment.
But in the original timeline, only four individuals ever clearly wielded Perfect Susanoo:
Indra,
Uchiha Madara,
Uchiha Sasuke,
and Hatake Kakashi—
or rather, Uchiha Obito.
Even Sasuke, after awakening the Eternal Mangekyō, did not immediately gain Perfect Susanoo.
He only achieved it later, after receiving the Sage of Six Paths' power.
The same was true for Kakashi and Obito—
Perfect Susanoo came only after obtaining Six Paths power.
As for Indra, there was no need to mention it—he was born with it.
The only confirmed person who could use Perfect Susanoo without Six Paths power was—
Uchiha Madara.
Still, by Qianyu's estimation, with enough growth and time, he would reach that level as well—
Six Paths power or not.
It was merely a matter of time.
After evolving into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, the six-pointed star patterns in Qianyu's eyes transformed into far more intricate and resplendent designs—
perfectly enclosed by a circular form, dotted with starlike light.
Mysterious.
Powerful.
Magnificent.
Unsettling.
Like something straight out of myth and epic.
Qianyu summarized his gains.
Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan awakened
Both ocular techniques perfected
Susanoo advanced to Fourth Form
The harvest was nothing short of enormous.
Hatake Kakashi, following at his side, faintly sensed the change in Qianyu's presence.
"Qianyu-sama… after this battle, you seem much stronger."
"There's a depth to your aura… something terrifying, impossible to measure."
Qianyu glanced at him, as if seeing straight through his thoughts.
"Kakashi—your Mangekyō Sharingan's ocular power has increased too, hasn't it?"
Kakashi's heart skipped.
As expected… nothing escaped this man's perception.
In truth, Kakashi had awakened the Mangekyō long ago—
on the day Rin died.
The overwhelming grief and pain had synchronized with Obito's emotions, causing both of them to awaken at the same time.
But his ocular power had been too weak.
He barely dared to use it—nor could he truly control it.
However…
After seeing his father's empty grave, the beliefs he once clung to shattered once again.
Amid sorrow and fury, his Mangekyō Sharingan had indeed grown far stronger.
By Qianyu's estimation, Kakashi's current ocular power was already comparable to his Shippuden-era self.
And this was still years before the original timeline even began.
Because fate had been altered—
Kakashi had gained power far earlier than he ever should have.
"As expected of you, Qianyu-sama," Kakashi said with a bitter smile.
"You truly possess eyes that see through everything."
"I did awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. But I'm not an Uchiha."
"Using it drains chakra and ocular power at an extreme rate, and the pain and backlash are unimaginable, so…"
Qianyu nodded. He understood perfectly.
Using the Mangekyō once and lying in bed for a month—
That wasn't a joke.
But still—
"Kakashi, your growth is a good thing."
"You'll have a chance to use that power soon."
Kakashi's eyes sharpened.
"I understand, Qianyu-sama."
"I'll follow your orders at any time."
"Good."
After returning to Konoha, Qianyu tied up all remaining loose ends.
With Danzo's death, the curse seals placed on Root members vanished automatically.
The children controlled by Root were finally freed.
Among them, he found familiar faces—
Sai, and his brother Shin.
At this time, Sai was only four or five years old.
Qianyu gathered these children together with those from the orphanage, taking them under his protection—
viewing them as the future backbone of the shinobi world, inheritors of his will.
Afterward, he mercifully killed Aburame Ryūma, who was still trapped in unbearable agony, granting him final release.
Thus—
Root was completely annihilated.
Meanwhile, during the Hokage Council meeting, Hiruzen Sarutobi performed a dramatic act of "cutting off ties."
With righteous fury and passionate words, he denounced Shimura Danzo as a war criminal, rogue shinobi, and a monster who violated all human ethics through inhumane experimentation.
He declared Root to be a total failure—
a twisted tumor born from the darkness of the village.
Such theatrics, however, could not erase the accusations of rot and corruption within Konoha's leadership.
Danzo's downfall had already caused Hiruzen to lose the hearts of many.
At that moment, Hiruzen shifted the topic.
"There is another matter."
"The war with Kumogakure is essentially over."
"Under Nara Shikaku's command, and through the efforts of our shinobi, Kumogakure has fallen into disadvantage."
"The Fourth Raikage has agreed to resume negotiations."
"The shinobi on the battlefield… will soon return."
Everyone felt a chill.
Because all of them understood—
With the external threat resolved,
the final internal confrontation within Konoha… was about to begin.
