Uchiha Fugaku's head flew into the air, and before his body even hit the ground, Uchiha Shin extended his fingers, digging out the pair of Sharingan from the lifeless corpse.
A twisted grin spread across his face as he admired the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan in his palm.
"Success! Finally!" he exhaled, his breath ragged with excitement. The sheer power radiating from the severed eyes sent a shiver down his spine. Without hesitation, he activated Soul Sacrifice, burning the eyes to ash in his hands.
A torrent of raw chakra flooded into his brain, overwhelming him with a sensation akin to his skull being torn apart.
"AHHHH!!!"
The agony was unbearable, but he relished it. His Mangekyō Sharingan activated on its own, spinning violently. The eight-pointed star design twisted and expanded as a new power bloomed within him.
His vision blurred for a moment, and then clarity returned, sharper than ever. He could feel the ultimate essence of Yin Release coursing through his body—this was the power of the Sage of Six Paths, the ultimate evolution of his bloodline.
Within his pupils, a new pattern emerged: a spinning blade embedded within the eight-pointed star, rotating at a different speed, like interlocked gears in motion.
Shin's lips curled. "The shackles on the Mangekyō Sharingan... have shattered."
For any other Uchiha, prolonged use of the Mangekyō meant inevitable blindness. But for him? His eyes could now generate their own chakra. The more he trained, the stronger they would become.
"Heh... Hahaha!" Standing over Fugaku's headless corpse, Uchiha Shin erupted into laughter.
This sensation was exquisite—so satisfying, almost like Tsunade under him… No, perhaps even better!
Brushing the blood from his hands, he muttered, "I've got work to do. Now that I don't have to worry about my vision deteriorating, I can focus on mastering the Soul Reflection Technique next."
His fingers twitched in anticipation. He had recently obtained an array of forbidden jutsu—secrets buried deep within the archives of Konoha.
The Eight Gates, Impure World Reincarnation, and so much more…
After all, as Hokage of Konoha, wasn't it only fair that he had access to every clan's techniques?
Wouldn't let him see them? Then he'd erase their entire bloodline. Simple.
His left eye tingled—a new ability had awakened. He could feel it instinctively, but he needed to experiment to fully understand its effects.
He stepped out of the underground prison without a second glance at the carnage behind him.
As he walked, he activated the Flying Thunder God, warping into the depths of Konoha's research facility. In the cold storage chamber, he retrieved a sealed vial—Hashirama Cells.
A rare prize taken from Danzo's underground lab.
Shin smirked. That old fossil and the Third Hokage had been dabbling in Senju DNA long before anyone suspected. They had desecrated Hashirama's grave years ago, harvesting his cells in secret.
When Tsunade discovered this, she had personally incinerated Danzo's remains and tossed his ashes into a latrine pit.
That incident had completely shattered the last remnants of loyalty she held for the Third Hokage.
And to make matters worse for Sarutobi? Tsunade's chest had literally swelled several inches in anger.
Shin had spent quite some time calming her down after that.
Now, holding the vial in his hand, he muttered, "Even with just a trace of Hashirama's chakra, the Yang Release properties within his cells are monstrous."
For a normal shinobi, these cells were a death sentence. The sheer life force they contained was overwhelming, consuming any unworthy vessel from the inside out.
But for Shin?
He let out a dark chuckle before activating Amaterasu, letting the black flames devour the cells. The extreme Yang energy fused into his body as he focused, channeling his chakra to absorb and replicate the cellular structure.
It was a delicate process, but with his mastery over Yin-Yang Release, he succeeded.
The transformation was instant.
A rush of vitality spread through his limbs. His muscles tightened, bones reinforced, and his height surged—standing now at an imposing 1.8 meters at just twelve years old.
"This… is Yin-Yang Release at its peak."
Curious, he focused his chakra and created a kunai out of thin air.
"Creation from nothing…" he whispered, tracing the weapon's edge with his fingertip.
His gaze darkened. Indra's Eyes, Asura's Body.
He had finally inherited the power of the Sage of Six Paths.
Madara had only awakened this state when he was on the verge of death. Shin had achieved it long before.
Testing his body further, he pressed the kunai to his arm and dragged it across his skin. A deep cut appeared, blood spilling onto the floor.
The moment his blood touched the ground, small sprouts emerged from the cracks in the tiles, an unintended side effect of the overflowing life energy within him.
But Shin wasn't focused on that. He was watching his wound.
Before his very eyes, the flesh stitched itself back together within seconds.
White smoke sizzled from his skin as the cut vanished completely, leaving no scar behind.
"Even without entering Sage Mode, my regeneration is already on par with Hashirama's Unrestricted Regeneration."
Tsunade had once said her grandfather's ability allowed him to heal from any wound without the need for hand seals.
But Shin knew—his version was superior.
With the absorption of natural energy, his cells had transcended their former state. The usual drawback of accelerated healing—cellular degradation—no longer applied to him.
A wicked smile played on his lips.
"If I push this further, I might even reach the point where I can regenerate an entire limb from a single drop of blood."
That level of regeneration was unheard of, even among the strongest shinobi.
Uchiha Shin flexed his fingers, reveling in the power surging through his veins.
He was no longer just a shinobi. He was evolving into something far beyond human.
And this? This was only the beginning.
