Chapter 332: Trump Card
It was said that the abilities of the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyo varied from person to person, acting as a reflection of the heart.
Furthermore, all Mangekyo abilities were tied to ancient myths.
Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Izanagi, Amaterasu, and others all had mythological prototypes.
Take the Heavenly Pillar: legend held that when the ancient deity Izanagi built his great hall, he used a massive pillar known as the Heavenly Pillar.
What exactly the Heavenly Pillar represented was truly a subject of curiosity.
He was practically dying of curiosity.
He wondered if Uchiha Toka possessed the talent to awaken his own Mangekyo.
Goka Uchiha opened his eyes once more and said, "Clan Leader Bell, the Uchiha Clan cannot remain this passive! Uchiha Madara is a rogue ninja that even the First Hokage couldn't kill, yet the village sent us to investigate him. They called it an investigation, but it was nothing more than sending us to our deaths—just a test to gauge Uchiha Madara's attitude toward the Hidden Leaf. I admit we are in the wrong, and we have an obligation to hunt down rogue ninjas that emerge from our own clan. But is Uchiha Madara the same? He's a titan from the village's founding era!
Even if we had to hunt him down, deploying the Uchiha Clan as the main force wouldn't be entirely unreasonable. But sending only half an Anbu squad as backup? Wasn't that intentionally sending us to die? We must seize more initiative and grasp more power. We cannot let the village casually send us to our deaths! Power isn't about ruling the Hidden Leaf; it's about protecting ourselves. Whoever does not advance will fall behind! Without power, we'll all end up dying on some mission, just like our teacher did!"
