Naruto: Starting with Snatching the Mangekyō Sharingan

"Fugaku, why did Akira call you over so urgently? Did something happen?" Mikoto asked, noticing her husband's unusually good mood.

"Mikoto, it's incredible news—my Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is finally complete!" Fugaku couldn't hide his excitement as he shared the breakthrough with his wife.

"Look, this is the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan!" With that, a pair of crimson eyes appeared, radiating power in front of Mikoto.

"They're truly beautiful... and undoubtedly powerful," Mikoto replied with a smile, though she shook her head inwardly at her husband's smugness.

She was merely humoring him. Fugaku had already suppressed the immense chakra and ocular energy emanating from his eyes, so she couldn't fully grasp their overwhelming potential.

"Of course," Fugaku said proudly. "With these eyes, I now stand at the very peak of the Uchiha clan—this is our ultimate strength!"

At that moment, a familiar voice came from the door.

"Father, Mother, I'm back."

It was their eldest son, Itachi Uchiha, who had just returned home.

"Father seems unusually cheerful today," Itachi thought as he entered the house, his keen senses immediately picking up on the subtle change in Fugaku. "And there's something different about him... something I can't quite place."

Seeing his son, Fugaku's expression softened.

"Itachi, how has school been? Are you feeling any pressure?"

The reform in the academy had been in place for over a year, with an expanded curriculum that was much more rigorous and complex. The number of students had also increased significantly, with each grade now boasting nearly a thousand students. The academic pressure was leagues beyond what it used to be.

Itachi shook his head calmly. "Father, I'm doing well at the academy. While the courses have become more challenging, I don't find them difficult."

Fugaku's smile widened at his son's response. However, he quickly grew serious.

"Itachi, don't take it lightly. Treat your studies with the utmost dedication."

"I understand, Father," Itachi replied evenly, "but I'd like to learn more advanced techniques."

Fugaku was silent for a moment, then nodded. "In that case, after academy, your mother can help you with your studies. Once I'm finished with my current duties, I'll teach you some advanced jutsu myself."

A rare smile appeared on Itachi's face. While the academy's curriculum was tough for most, it was trivial for him. Precocious and gifted, he had already outpaced his peers by a significant margin.

...

Meanwhile, in Amegakure...

"So this is the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan... truly magnificent," Uchiha Hikari murmured, admiring the vast ocular power contained within her eyes. A pleased smile graced her elegant features.

Her crimson eyes, now adorned with an intricate black design of three tomoe encircling a dark ring, glimmered with unparalleled strength. These eyes had formed after her Mangekyō Sharingan fused with Uchiha Madara's.

"Congratulations, Hikari," Nagato said with a faint smile.

Hikari, now a tall and poised woman, exuded an air of maturity that replaced her former youthful appearance.

"Spare me the formalities," Hikari said, giving Nagato a sidelong glance. "If I remember correctly, the Three-Tails's revival is nearly complete. Isn't it time for us to move?"

"You're correct," Nagato replied. "However, there's no need to rush. We have someone proficient in space-time ninjutsu, so travel won't be an issue."

"Oh?" Hikari's brow arched in surprise. "Who mastered space-time ninjutsu? Or did you recruit someone skilled in it?"

"Not quite," Nagato said, shaking his head. "We're using Orochimaru's Edo Tensei."

"Ah, that forbidden jutsu," Hikari said, realization dawning on her. Edo Tensei could summon the dead back to the world of the living to serve its caster.

"Who is it?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

"Senju Tobirama, the Second Hokage of Konoha. He's known as a master of forbidden techniques and the creator of many of Konoha's forbidden jutsu, including the Flying Thunder God Technique," Nagato explained.

Hikari's eyes widened slightly. "An impressive individual, it seems. I'm familiar with the Flying Thunder God—it's a formidable space-time jutsu."

Nagato continued, "In fact, Edo Tensei itself was created by Tobirama."

Hikari chuckled. "How ironic... to be trapped by your own creation."

Nagato's expression turned serious.

"Hikari, Tobirama is extremely dangerous. To ensure control, Orochimaru has requested that you use your ocular powers to safeguard the technique."

"With your current level of genjutsu, not even Tobirama could break free," Nagato said confidently.

Hikari's lips curved into a self-assured smile. "Rest assured, he won't escape."

Soon after, the two arrived at Orochimaru's lab in Amegakure.

"Orochimaru," Nagato said, "we're ready to proceed. With Hikari here, there will be no issues."

Orochimaru nodded and began forming seals. "Edo Tensei!"

Dust swirled upward, enveloping a White Zetsu. The particles twisted and reshaped, forming a man clad in blue armor, with silver hair and three red marks on his face.

It was Senju Tobirama.

"So, this is Edo Tensei... I've been summoned..." Tobirama muttered as awareness returned to him. In an instant, he attempted to use the Flying Thunder God to escape and dismantle the summoning.

But his movements froze abruptly as powerful chakra surged from Orochimaru, who stood nearby, hands clasped in a sealing formation.

"Second Hokage, you never imagined you'd end up like this, did you?" Orochimaru said, his voice laced with amusement.

Tobirama's eyes locked onto Orochimaru, his voice cold.

"A traitor of Konoha? I'll deal with you myself."

He began forming seals, his movements deliberate and steady, showing signs of breaking free from Orochimaru's control.

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed. "The more precise the Edo Tensei, the closer the summoned's power mirrors their peak... but this also increases the risk of rebellion."

Just as Tobirama completed his first seal, he caught sight of crimson eyes staring directly into his own.

'That pattern... not an ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan...' His thoughts blurred, and his consciousness slipped into a haze.

In the next moment, Tobirama's once-crimson eyes turned a deep shade of purple-black.

He had fallen under Hikari's genjutsu he could not escape.
