Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Momentum!
Looking at the contents of the notebook, Shisui Uchiha hesitated for a moment before continuing to flip through the pages.
One familiar name emerged after another across the pages.
Without exception, they were all members of the clan who advocated peace and stability—the Doves.
After briefly skimming through it, Shisui Uchiha carefully put away the notebook. His gaze hardened with determination.
"Even though they're all from the same clan, in the end we still have to walk the path of mutual slaughter."
"It's because your hearts are too narrow—you can't even perceive the efforts Mirai Uchiha has made."
"Your deaths will not be in vain. Don't blame me; everything is for the sake of the Uchiha!"
Shisui Uchiha whispered under his breath.
If possible, he truly wanted to use genjutsu to change the minds of those Doves. That way, even if they couldn't understand Mirai Uchiha's intentions, at least they wouldn't oppose him.
Unfortunately, such a technique didn't exist. All he could do was eliminate these conservatives!

[Ding! Congratulations, Master, for successfully acquiring the reward: Phantom Shifting Body Technique!]
Hearing the System's prompt in his mind, Mirai Uchiha nodded slightly in satisfaction.
Phantom Shifting Body Technique—Uchiha Shisui's signature skill, and the origin of his title, "Shisui of the Shifting Body."
By combining the Sharingan with the Shifting Body Technique, this jutsu creates tangible attacking illusions.
What's more, these illusions wouldn't disappear when attacked.
It was quite a formidable Ninjutsu.
"I wonder if making Shisui personally kill off those Doves will cause him to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Mirai Uchiha stroked his chin in silent contemplation.
With his interference, Shisui Uchiha had become an uncompromising radical.
However, Shisui Uchiha's inner self hadn't changed much—he remained emotionally sensitive, willing to give everything for the village and the clan.
He would kill those clan members without hesitation but would also feel pain over their deaths.
Not to mention...
The Doves generally had very gentle personalities. Many of them seemed harmless on the surface.
Killing such people could easily breed guilt within one's heart.
"Shisui, I hope you can give me a pleasant surprise."
A slight smile curved Mirai Uchiha's lips.
The Mangekyō Sharingan was the Eye of the Soul's Reflection. He wondered whether this time Shisui Uchiha would awaken a dōjutsu like Kotoamatsukami, just as he did in the original story.
———
After assigning the mission to Shisui Uchiha, Mirai Uchiha went to check on the holding cells at the Police Squad.
Genataro Tenkin and Hisashi Mito-Gate had completely lost the arrogance they once displayed.
Their once-lavish clothing was now torn and bloodstained, the original colors completely obscured.
Filthy and disheveled, they exuded a foul stench.
Spotting Uchiha Mirai, they immediately scrambled on their knees toward the prison cell door: "Mirai Uchiha-sama, we were wrong before! Please let us go! We'll never dare again!"
"You can rest assured that I will personally explain everything clearly to Elder Homura upon my return."
Hisashi Mito Gate also nodded: "That's right—we swear we'll never cause you trouble again."
This place was too terrifying. The Uchiha clan was just too sinister.
They couldn't wait to leave this place even for a single moment longer!
Uchiha Mirai ignored their pleas and directly walked to the prison cell where Fugaku Uchiha was being held.
Compared with the cells of Utatane Genataro and Hisashi Mito Gate, Fugaku Uchiha's accommodations were noticeably better.
Fugaku Uchiha's clothes remained neatly arranged. Except for his somewhat pale complexion, he otherwise looked unchanged from before.
Fugaku Uchiha spoke first: "If you're here to mock me, I'd advise you not to embarrass yourself."
Hearing this, Uchiha Mirai shook his head: "I have no interest in that. I'm just passing by and thought I'd conveniently tell you something."
Fugaku Uchiha lifted his head, a flicker of anxiety appearing on his face: "What is it?"
"I've already begun consolidating power within the Uchiha clan. All moderates and your loyal followers will be eliminated."
Upon hearing Uchiha Mirai's plans, Fugaku Uchiha instantly stood up: "You actually dare turn against our own clan members?"
"When I get out, I'll make sure everyone knows about all your crimes!"
Uchiha Mirai waved his hand dismissively: "Fugaku, you're not getting out."
"You'll spend the rest of your life here until I settle matters with Hiruzen Sarutobi and then send you to your grave."
Without another word, Uchiha Mirai left Fugaku Uchiha's furious roar behind as he walked outside.
From this day forward, there would be only one voice in the Uchiha Clan.
———
Busy working at the police squad until afternoon, Uchiha Mirai finally finished his day's work.
Just stepping outside, he saw a pretty girl standing there gracefully.
Seeing Uchiha Mirai exit, excitement lit up the girl's face: "Senior Mirai!"
"Yugao Uzuki, you've become even more beautiful."
Looking at Yugao Uzuki's delicately applied makeup, Uchiha Mirai didn't hold back his praise.
She had obviously dressed up especially for the occasion—how could he not notice her charm?
True to form, after seeing him smile, Yugao Uzuki's eyes crinkled happily as she softly asked, "Mirai-senpai, I wonder if you're free today..."
Mirai Uchiha nodded. "You came here for swordsmanship training, didn't you?"
"I happen to have time now."
Upon hearing this, Yugao Uzuki's face lit up with surprise.
She had only come to schedule a session with Mirai-senpai in advance, not expecting him to be available right away.
Following Mirai Uchiha, the two arrived at a secluded training ground.
"Yugao, when you're ready, attack me with all your strength."
After hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Yugao Uzuki hesitated for a moment, then replied with a wry smile, "How could I ever be your match, senpai?"
"It would mean a lot to me if you could offer some guidance while I practice. I'd be truly grateful."
However, much to her surprise, after hearing her response, Mirai Uchiha's previously smiling expression turned serious immediately.
"If that's really what you believe, you can leave now."
"Eh?" Yugao Uzuki's expression instantly became flustered. "Why would you say that, senpai?"
"Wielding a blade begins with the 'will'!"
"No matter how powerful your opponent is, you must never lose the courage to draw your sword."
"No matter how desperate the situation becomes, you must never lose the sharpness in your swing."
As Mirai Uchiha spoke, he slowly drew the long katana at his waist.
In an instant, Yugao Uzuki felt a chill run through her entire body.
A powerful pressure surged toward her.
Although Mirai Uchiha simply stood there holding his sword, to her eyes, she felt like a helpless leaf caught in a violent storm.
An indescribable 'presence,' along with overwhelming killing intent, enveloped her.
Pinned beneath such overwhelming pressure, Yugao Uzuki felt as though her entire body had lost its strength.
She would die!
Even moving a finger might kill her!
Drenched in sweat, fear flooded Yugao Uzuki's mind.
She knew full well that Mirai Uchiha wouldn't actually kill her—but her mind still raced uncontrollably with dread.
Just as Yugao Uzuki's mental defenses were about to collapse, Mirai Uchiha spoke again: "Do you feel it now?"
"Courage, sharpness, pride, fury, murderous intent..."
"They will allow you to overcome even the strongest foes and shatter desperate situations."
"When you draw your sword, don't think about how strong your enemy is—think only of charging forward fearlessly, breaking through every limit with unstoppable momentum!"
"If you cannot achieve that, no matter how diligently you train, it is nothing more than a hollow display — an imitation that only appears the part but lacks true form."
The suffocating pressure lifted the moment Mirai Uchiha spoke. Yugao Uzuki felt her legs give out, and she collapsed onto her knees, landing hard on the ground.
So this is what the 'Will' truly is?
It's absolutely terrifying!
