Chapter 52 Uchiha Setsuna: I will send my Mangekyo to the next era (Ch 52)

“Everyone, I called you here to be a witness and a guarantee. This will also be my last commission as the great elder of the Uchiha clan.”
“So, please, everyone.”
In the most secret meeting room of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Setsuna looked at several core members of the Uchiha clan around him and spoke seriously in his low and old voice.
There was caution and pleading in the voice, as well as an emotion of making arrangements for one’s last wishes.
Such an obvious attitude made these senior executives look at each other in surprise. Only the clan leader Uchiha Masanobu looked serious and calm. It was obvious that he had already discussed the matter with Uchiha Setsuna.
Although it was announced at today’s banquet that the position of clan leader would be handed over to Uchiha Fugaku, it was only a decision and an internal notification to the Uchiha clan.
Such a big event as the transfer of the clan leader’s position cannot be completed in such a shabby way. Next, an auspicious day will be chosen to hold the enthronement ceremony, and representatives from the major ninja clans and civilian ninjas of Konoha will be invited to participate.
Only after completing that step of the ceremony can Uchiha Fugaku truly become the patriarch of the Uchiha clan.
As for now…
Your dad is still your dad.
Then, the young clan leader Uchiha Fugaku spoke up: “Elder Setsuna, what you said is too serious. Although you have decided to hand over the position of the chief elder to Qijun, you are still a senior who deserves the respect of all of us Uchiha. After retirement, you can still shine for the future of Uchiha.”
However, upon hearing this, Uchiha Setsuna shook his head and said, “No, you don’t have to think too much. I am indeed making arrangements for my funeral now, because I don’t have much time left.”
Such straightforward words made all the Uchiha present, except Uchiha Masanobu, change color.
Uchiha Fugaku: “Elder Setsuna, you are obviously in good health, why do you say such discouraging words? Please…”
“No, Fugaku, this is not a discouraging statement, I’m just telling the truth.” Uchiha Setsuna interrupted Uchiha Fugaku, his expression and voice extremely calm.
This attitude made Uchiha Fugaku and the others finally understand that Uchiha Setsuna might not live long.
Uchiha Fugaku could not help but frown deeply: “Why is this happening? The doctor just checked your health a few days ago, Elder Setsuna, and he clearly said at that time that you can still live for at least several more years in good health.”
Uchiha Setsuna nodded: “Normally speaking, I can live that long, but…”
As he spoke, Uchiha Setsuna’s somewhat cloudy black eyes turned into the form of a three-magatama Sharingan, and the three-magatama inside actually spun rapidly. Then, under the astonished gaze of the other Uchiha present except Uchiha Masanobu, it switched to an inverted triangle symbol, which turned out to be the Mangekyō Sharingan!
The Uchiha at the scene were suddenly shocked and in an uproar, and each of them showed a look of horror.
Uchiha Fugaku: “Elder Setsuna, your eyes are… Mangekyō Sharingan? When did you open them?”
Uchiha Setsuna calmly scanned the crowd with his Mangekyō Sharingan, then closed his eyes and narrated slowly: “Just a few days ago, on the day when Kai-kun planned the future for my Uchiha. Perhaps it’s because I’m old, and I witnessed Kai-kun’s wisdom with my own eyes, so I suddenly understood a lot of things, and realized that I made a lot of mistakes when I was young, so I had a great enlightenment…”
Having said that, he opened his eyes again, and his Mangekyō Sharingan was already closed.
“Unfortunately, the awakening came too late. My poor physical condition now cannot bear the burden of the Mangekyō Sharingan. When the Mangekyō was opened, the countdown of my life had already begun.”
These words completely confused Fugaku and the others. They opened their mouths to say something, but their heads were buzzing and confused, so they didn’t know what to say.
Then, Uchiha Masanobu spoke up: “You don’t need to ask too much, you just need to know that Elder Setsuna’s life has come to an end, and after his death, the Mangekyō Sharingan will be left behind.”
“However, Elder Setsuna has already designated a successor for this pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.”
Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku, whose mind was still a little confused, thought of someone: “Father, Elder Setsuna, are you talking about Kai-kun?”
Uchiha Setsuna nodded: “Yes, since this pair of Mangekyō was opened by the ‘Grand Elder’, then it should be inherited by the next Grand Elder.”
After a pause, he showed a look of regret, “Unfortunately, Qi-kun and I are not blood relatives, and Qi-kun’s talent as a ninja is far from meeting the minimum requirements for opening the Mangekyō Sharingan.”
“Otherwise, if I can use my remaining body to bring a new Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to the Uchiha clan, it will be worth my life.”
After listening to Uchiha Setsuna’s words, all the Uchiha high-ranking officials were silent, and their hearts were full of envy for Uchiha Kai. After all, that was a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, which was the legendary power of the Uchiha clan!
Who in the Uchiha clan wouldn’t want to possess such power?
Even though one must rely on the eyes of a blood relative to open the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, making the requirements for the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan extremely harsh, it does not prevent the ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan from being powerful enough to drive countless people crazy.
However, these Uchiha high-ranking officials were only envious in their hearts, and no one had any objections or coveted it.
All this is because Uchiha Kei deserves this precious gift and reward, and it is also the will of Uchiha Setsuna, the owner of the Mangekyo.
Here, Uchiha Setsuna’s “entrustment” was confirmed. The dying great elder of the Uchiha clan would leave behind the Mangekyō Sharingan after his death, and then it would be handed over to Uchiha Kei to take to the next era.
Moreover, throughout the whole process, the Uchiha high-ranking officials were serious and the atmosphere was depressing, with a strong sense of self-admiration, as if everyone was carrying a great mission and tragic honor, fully displaying the diode mental state of the Uchiha clan.
If Uchiha Kai knew about this, even if he knew that the Uchiha clan’s Sharingan had the magical ability of “plug and play”, he would not be able to help but complain that “the Uchiha clan’s mental illness is indeed very serious.”
Anyway, that’s how it was settled.
However, what Uchiha Fugaku didn’t know was that his beloved father Uchiha Masanobu was also planning the future in his heart.
Although Uchiha Setsuna was very calm throughout the whole process, in fact, Uchiha Setsuna’s actions had a great impact on Uchiha Masanobu. Uchiha Masanobu, who felt that his health was not very good either, also quietly made up his mind to try his best to open the Mangekyō Sharingan while his body could still hold on.
Once successful, Uchiha Masanobu can leave his Mangekyō to his son Fugaku, and even if he himself is destined to die, he can rest in peace with a smile on his face.
The Uchiha clan is such an extreme clan.
After all, the people of love can give everything for the love in their hearts.
Uchiha Setsuna’s deep love for his clan made him choose to leave the Mangekyō Sharingan to Uchiha Kei.
Uchiha Masanobu also decided to burn himself because of his great love for his clan and his small love for his son, so as to give his son a pair of eyes that could see through the darkness.
