Although Fugaku was tempted, he ultimately decided against it. He knew that would only bring more disaster in the future. After all, what if a decision that they made would harm the clan in the future? If that happened those guys would be all over his head blaming them for everything. So Fugaku decided that unless it is a very important decision they would not use this method.
“ Good work out there Kiyomi, “ Fugaku said as he looked at his eldest daughter with a smile.
“ Hn “ Kiyomi nodded with the iconic Uchiha sound.
Fugaku then looked at her daughter and after hesitating for a bit asked, “ When did you awaken your Mangekyou Sharingan Kiyomi”. Usually, Fugaku wouldn't ask such a question since it isn't polite for a person to ask this. But as a father, he was very curious and worried.
For a Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan he or she must go through intense emotional moments. One can say that they must come close to having their mind completely broken.
One can say that only mentally unstable people could hold the Mangekyou Sharingan. This is why Tobirama said those who awaken the Mangekyou are dangerous as they always have extreme reactions.
And Fugaku has never found his daughter in such a state so he was worried about it. Even though he may not look like it he always tries his best to be the best father to his children. It’s just that his parenting methods can be very unique.
To teach his first son about the cruelty of war he brought him to the battlefield. Fugaku wanted his son to understand the consequences of his actions if he ever became clan leader and be swayed to form a rebellion against the Leaf Village.
For Sasuke, he always gave him the cold shoulder due to him getting very arrogant for the simplest compliment. Fugaku understood that if his second son could keep his pride in check then he was a true monster much greater than his older brother. This was shown when Sasuke managed to outclass his brother in the range of his fireball jutsu after some hard work.
Kiyomi thought about it before answering “Hmm I think I accidentally awakened it when I was three or maybe it was five, I don’t really remember since it was a long time ago “.
Hearing her words Fugaku and Itachi who was eavesdropping on their conversation almost tripped and fell. Both of them looked at Kiyomi and thought, ‘What the hell do you mean you accidentally awakened your Mangekyou? The Mangekyou Sharingan isn’t something like a fruit that someone could pluck at any moment. And how the hell did you awaken them at such a young age? ‘
Although they both wanted to scream out their frustrations they were a little scared to voice them out. You know the longer you have your Mangekyou the stronger one gets as it would take a long time for one to master it to the fullest. This is true as Itachi despite having the Mangekyou Sharingan didn’t think he is a match for his father much less his elder sister.
They had enough time to familiarise themselves with the Mangekyou Sharingan to use it optimally while he would just go blind after using his for a few times. This is also the reason why Sasuke was the fastest person to go blind after getting his Mangekyou Sharingan. He clearly didn’t have the patience or time to slowly master his new powers and only used the Mangekyou in such a crude way he was out of juice in no time.
If Madara was like him then the warring states would be over much sooner as Hashirama would have no problem defeating a blind Madara.
What’s more frightening is that Kiyomi managed to awaken her Mangekyou at the age of five. You know at that age a normal Uchiha wouldn’t even have opened his Sharingan much less unlocking your Mangekyou. Even Madara wasn’t such a genius monster.
For the rest of the journey, the three of them were very quiet. Fugaku and Itachi were so shocked and scared at Kiyomi’s accomplishments that they didn’t know what to say. And Kiyomi wasn’t one to initiate a conversation. So in awkward silence, they all arrived home.
While Kiyomi and others were still in the clan meeting, Izanami was having a small meeting of her own. Well, the meeting was with a nun. And this nun is none other than the legendary wandering miko Nonō Yakushi.
After Danzo’s escape, she was reduced to a humble orphanage caretaker. And it seems Danzo hadn’t thought of using her since he didn’t bother contacting her. After all, what good would he have as a spy if he didn’t have any power to make use of the information she was sending?
As for why she is meeting with Izanami, well there could only be one reason. She couldn’t request for more funds from the village as her true identity as a past root member may be revealed.
The treatment people have for the Root is very harsh. Due to them being brainwashed very thoroughly most of them are under heavy surveillance. If they showed the slightest chance of being rebels they would be killed without any mercy.
This is the only solution the higher-ups had come up with after many tries of trying to correct the Root ninjas. And although Nono didn’t have that much loyalty towards Danzo that didn’t mean her threat level is any lower than any other root ninja. Maybe due to her past record, she may be killed or forced to do a very dangerous mission to redeem herself.
As an undercover agent, Nono knew her capabilities very much. She knew that her strength was not enough for any high-level missions. That is why she retired from the Root at an early age and became the caretaker of the orphanage.
“ So what do you think of the proposal I gave you? “ Izanami asked as she looked at Nono with a smile.
Nono had a stiff smile as she asked hesitantly, “While I’m flattered, if I may ask why did Lady Izanami want me to be the host of the auction house? I don’t think I have any outstanding qualities that would make you come to see me personally. “
Izanami just smiled at her and didn’t answer her question. This made Nono even more anxious. She knew the person in front of her was a very big shot who could make wars happen in days.
So she was very cautious and afraid of what this person wanted when she arrived at the orphanage doorsteps. But unexpectedly Izanami said she was here to offer her a job opportunity to be the host of the auction house. And what’s more the salary she is about to receive is astronomical.
But although Nono was very happy about it, she was also very anxious about the reason why she was offered such a job. Nothing comes for free in this world she knew that better than anyone.
“ Well, you see I have heard about how good of a caretaker you are. Although you have limited funds you still use them to take good care of the children without sparing any expense.
I greatly admire that about you. But you see I don’t have a habit of giving charity. In my book giving away charity is just wasting someone’s determination to strive further. After all, if you can get charity every day, why waste effort working?
So that is why I decided to come up with this proposal. So what do you think, are you up to the challenge? “ Izanami said with a meaningful smile.
