On Kyosuke's wedding day, everyone connected to him offered their heartfelt blessings.

Everyone, except for one person.

That person was Uchiha Kaijun, stationed on the front lines.

As a promising talent once carefully nurtured by Tajima, Uchiha Madara hadn't completely abandoned him after ascending to power.

Serving as a commander of a legion, Uchiha Kaijun remained active on the battlefield, slowly accumulating achievements through his victories in battle.

Even during a time of celebration for the entire clan, he labored silently on the front lines, determined to gather enough strength for both vengeance and survival.

In fact, Uchiha Kaijun, now nearing his twenties, had already married his beloved girlfriend last year.

With the bonds of family, he became even more determined to work hard.

However, when he learned that Kyosuke had married the Uzumaki princess and that Madara had gone so far as to clash swords with the Senju over this, Uchiha Kaijun suddenly came to a realization.

No matter how hard he worked, he would never surpass that bastard in status.

To wash away the shame that tainted him, there was only one path left—awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, the legendary pair of eyes.

"If that guy can do it, then I can definitely awaken the Mangekyō as well."

With this thought in mind, Uchiha Kaijun began searching for a way to awaken his eyes.

Whether it was luck or misfortune, he eventually found a method. [P.s; SUS]

However—

After leading his team to complete an inspection of the camp, Uchiha Kai walked alone toward his tent.

"The conditions for awakening the eyes..."

"No wonder... who would have imagined this beforehand?"

"Do I really have to...?"

"No. No, I can't hurt her."

Just ten meters away from his tent, Kaijun suddenly stopped, his gaze complex as he stared at the shadow of someone reflected inside.

After taking a few deep breaths, he finally lifted the curtain and stepped inside.

The person pacing back and forth inside was none other than his wife, Uchiha Kochou.

"Welcome back, Kaijun-kun." Seeing her husband return, Kochou immediately pulled him close with excitement, her eyes glimmering with happiness.

"I wasn't feeling well today, so I went to see the medical unit," she said cheerfully.

Still caught in his internal conflict, Uchiha Kaijun absentmindedly asked, "Oh? Are you okay? Is it an old injury acting up again?"

After all, as a ninja fighting at the front lines for years, who didn't carry a body full of hidden injuries? Even he often suffered from the pain of recurring wounds.

The reality was, the current medical system was far too inadequate.

Seeing that her husband was still distracted, Uchiha Kochou pouted and leaned close to his ear, whispering softly, "Congratulations, you're going to be a father."

"Oh, that's wonderful news. Definitely worth celebrat—" Mid-sentence, Kaijun suddenly froze, his eyes widening in disbelief as he stared at his wife.

"Y-you—you mean—"

"Yes~"

"Then I—does this mean I'm—"

"That's right~"

Standing in stunned silence for more than ten seconds, Uchiha Kaijun suddenly scooped his wife into his arms, his excitement making him seem like a child of twenty years old.

"I'm going to be a father! I'm going to be a father!"

Spinning her around a few times in joy, he gently set her down and carefully rested his head against her stomach.

And then—

He heard nothing.

"Silly, it's still too early. How could you possibly hear anything right now?" Uchiha Kochou reached out and poked his forehead with her finger.

From that point on, the two put their official duties aside and began discussing everything from pregnancy care to how they should raise their child after it was born.

Looking at his wife, who was brimming with happiness, Uchiha Kaijun's face softened into an expression of unprecedented calm and contentment.

"Kochou, you should go rest now. I will delegate all your tasks to someone else."

"Alright," she replied.

After his wife left, Kaijun stood in front of the mirror, staring intently at the man in the reflection whose eyes were filled with a dark gloom.

Slowly, he raised his hand.

Slap!

Uchiha Kaijun slapped himself hard across the face.

"You bastard, idiot, fool! How could you have entertained such a thought?"

Growing angrier with each word, he raised his other hand and delivered another resounding slap to his left cheek.

The force was so strong that a streak of fresh blood began to seep from the corner of his mouth.

At that moment, Uchiha Kaijun's heart was flooded with complex emotions—regret, frustration, happiness, and gratitude.

As he began to regain his composure, a sudden, familiar panic overtook him.

He was afraid. Afraid that Uchiha Kyosuke would never forgive him.

He feared what his ruthless cousin might do to his wife and child.

The scene from years ago, at the training grounds, still haunted his nightmares.

"No, I have to be prepared."

"Mangekyō."

As the image of his wife's smiling face flashed through his mind, Uchiha Kaijun gritted his teeth and made an agonizing decision.

Uchiha Shinji, a rare close friend of Kaijun's, had fought beside him countless times. The two had trained together, resisted foreign invaders, and carved their way out of bloody battlefields side by side.

One day, Uchiha Kaijun suddenly suggested they go train outside, and Shinji, without hesitation, agreed.

But soon after, news came that the Senju clan had launched an attack. When the rescue team arrived, Uchiha Shinji was found dead on the spot.

It was said that Uchiha Kaijun was consumed with rage, vowing to annihilate the entire Senju clan.

However, only he knew the truth: there had been no attack.

It had all been a meticulously planned conspiracy.

In order to protect his wife and unborn child, he had sacrificed his one true friend.

He had hoped to use the pain of killing his closest companion to force himself into awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Unfortunately, as expected, it had ended in failure.

He was not like Uchiha Itachi, who had an abundance of personal emotions.

From the way he had treated young Kyosuke all those years ago, it was clear that Uchiha Kaijun, like his parents, had a cold and indifferent nature.

For someone like him, the most important person in his heart would always be himself.

Though Shinji had been his dearest friend, he was still not important enough to awaken the Mangekyō.

"Damn it! Why did it turn out this way?!"

He regretted it deeply. He shouldn't have acted so rashly.

Not only had his eyes failed to evolve, but he had also lost his friend's life in vain.

When he thought back to the look in Shinji's eyes before he died, he was haunted by nightmares for several nights in a row.

In those dreams, he had succeeded in awakening the Mangekyō, but the person lying dead at his feet was not only Shinji. There was also his wife, her face twisted in an eerie smile, her body drenched in blood.

"Ah!!"

Once again, waking up from his sleep, Uchiha Kaijun was breathing heavily.

Though still shaken, something about the dream felt unnervingly real.

"My lord!" Before he could recover his composure, a subordinate rushed into the tent, panicking.

"What's all this fuss about?" Kaijun scolded as he sat up, not noticing the sweat dripping from his temples.

"It's bad news, my lord. We've just received word that Lady Kochou was attacked on her way back to her family."

"She—she's missing... still unaccounted for!"

Bang!

A cold, ominous chakra erupted violently from Uchiha Kaijun's body.

His already eerie eyes now appeared even more terrifying.
