Chapter 142: Big Rewards, Beyond Mastery
[Disciple Shisui's trust level has increased. Current trust level: 4.]
[You gifted your disciple a self-made ninja tool of decent quality. Your disciple was extremely grateful, triggering a Super Critical reward.]
[You received: Lightning Breathing (Perfect Grade) and black frame glasses.]
[Disciple Shisui's emotions were too intense, activating his Six Paths bloodline and awakening his Sharingan. His strength increased, and you received: Byakugan.]
[Disciple Shisui's Chakra +200. Master-Disciple Return received Chakra +800.]
As Mugetsu expected, extreme emotions had led to an unprecedented burst, granting a skill above the proficient level and a mysterious pair of glasses whose purpose was still unknown.
Shisui's enhancement reward this time was unusual. He had awakened his Sharingan, yet the system granted Mugetsu a pair of Byakugan. Fortunately, the Byakugan could be controlled—his eyes would remain normal when not activated.
On closer thought, it wasn't strange. Both the Sharingan and Byakugan were, at their core, bloodlines inherited from the Ōtsutsuki.
The Master-Disciple Return from Trust Level 4 was powerful. Shisui's Chakra had increased upon awakening his Sharingan, and that boost was quadrupled when transferred to Mugetsu.
"Next, his Chakra growth rate should improve significantly," Mugetsu thought.
The Sharingan brought more than just two hundred extra Chakra—it also greatly enhanced Shisui's mental energy, which would accelerate his natural Chakra growth. More Chakra for Shisui meant more Chakra for Mugetsu.
This time, the rewards were truly maximized. His efforts had not been in vain.
The rise in trust level also brought a new change to the Master-Disciple panel.
[Disciple Shisui has obtained an optional life mission.
[Life Mission: Uchiha and Konoha.]
[Main Objective: Resolve the conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha, allowing the Uchiha to integrate into the Village.]
[Mission Progress: 0.]
[Mission Reward: Determined by mission completion and strength growth during the mission period. Settlements will occur for every 10% progress increase.]
[Note 1: The mission automatically fails if the Uchiha Clan's population becomes too low.]
[Note 2: Life missions are extremely difficult. Once confirmed, you can only proceed to the next after completing the current one. Please choose carefully.]
[Note 3: Greater difficulty yields higher rewards.]
Mugetsu studied the mission carefully.
If events followed the original timeline, this would be impossible—the Uchiha would eventually be annihilated.
But the massacre had many causes. Obito's Nine-Tails incident had driven the already-distrusted Uchiha into isolation. That isolation had led to rebellion, and Danzo, eager for the clan's Sharingan, had seized the opportunity.
After a moment of thought, Mugetsu confirmed the mission.
Even without it, he had already planned to deal with Obito's future. If he could prevent Obito from turning dark, the Uchiha would never face a crisis of annihilation—and without that, the mission would not immediately fail.
In his eyes, this was a moderately difficult task—nothing like the impossible burden of "world peace" as a first mission.
"Shisui, your eyes…" Obito suddenly noticed the vivid crimson in Shisui's gaze, with tomoe patterns slowly spinning.
A pang of envy hit Obito. Shisui had received such a great birthday gift and had awakened the Sharingan on top of it. If he had Sharingan, he wouldn't have lost to Guy so many times… nor struggled through endless drills.
In his excitement, Shisui hadn't noticed the change until Obito pointed it out. He focused and immediately felt it—the world had become sharper, more vivid, and he could even follow the flight paths of insects.
"So this is the power of the Sharingan…" Shisui murmured.
"For now, don't show your Sharingan to others," Mugetsu advised.
Awakening it was good, but Shisui was only six years old. If word spread, the impact could be significant.
Within the Uchiha, elders like Fugaku would take greater interest in him—not necessarily bad, as it would bring more resources.
But outside the clan…
Hiruzen Sarutobi might simply try to mold him into the next Uchiha Kagami, preaching the Will of Fire. Danzo, however, would be dangerous—either trying to control him completely or seeing him as a potential threat on the level of Madara.
The risk outweighed the gain.
"Why not? Isn't awakening a good thing?" Obito asked, confused. If he had Sharingan, he'd use it every day.
"I'll explain later. It's connected to the conflict between the Uchiha and the Village," Mugetsu said.
"Understood, Sensei," Shisui nodded. He trusted Mugetsu completely. If Sensei told him not to use his Sharingan openly, then he wouldn't—even when his uncle returned.
"Alright, first blow out the candles and make a wish. It's your birthday, after all," Mugetsu said warmly.
Shisui closed his eyes, hands clasped in front of the cake. Rationally, he knew wishes didn't magically come true—but today, he felt like giving it meaning.
If possible, let this life continue. May the Village, the clan, and Sensei all grow stronger…
He opened his eyes and blew out the six candles.
"What did you wish for?" Obito asked.
"You can't ask that! If he says it, it won't come true," Rin said with a smile.
The last part of the celebration began—cake. This time there was no cake fight, just warm conversation and laughter.
"Shisui, how did you awaken your Sharingan so suddenly?" Obito pressed.
"I'm not sure… I just felt a surge of Chakra, and then my eyes changed," Shisui replied after thinking for a moment.
"If you keep training, you'll awaken yours too," Mugetsu said, taking a bite of cake.
Awakening a standard Sharingan wasn't hard—the Mangekyo, however, was a different matter. Without Hashirama's cells or an Eternal Mangekyo, overuse would destroy the user.
But happy moments never last long. As night deepened, they helped Shisui tidy up before heading home.
Before Mugetsu could leave, Shisui pressed one million ryo into his hands. "For more crafting materials, Sensei. You said they were expensive—and I don't want you to cut back on meals."
Mugetsu smiled and shook his head.
"For a teacher, a disciple's growth is the best reward. If that blade helps you win in the future, I'll be happy."
With that, he turned to leave. He had gained many rewards today—and couldn't wait to test his new abilities.
"…Become stronger," Shisui whispered, watching his teacher's silhouette fade into the night, replaying his words over and over.
