23 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

The war ended with Konohagakure's decisive victory over Kirigakure. The "Yellow Flash," Minato Namikaze, had crushed Kirigakure's forces with unmatched skill, driving them out of the Land of Fire. Even the Third Mizukage was forced to retreat, leaving the Land of Fire alongside the remnants of his defeated troops.

Of course, while the main battle was over, a formal peace treaty hadn't yet been signed. The large-scale fighting had ended, but true peace was still a distant hope. Konoha ha...

22 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Black Zetsu let out a sly chuckle at Obito's remark.

"Going empty-handed wouldn't be very impressive, would it?" he thought.

Obito, of course, had no intention of meeting Nagato empty-handed—he planned to use the Six-Tails as a show of strength, a way to subtly assert his power.

"Obito," Black Zetsu began, "over the past two years, a number of strong shinobi have emerged from the Uchiha Clan. To ensure our plan's success, I believe it's time we start paying closer attentio...

21 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Danzo got straight to the point, his face grave as he looked at Hiruzen. In a low voice, he said,

"Hiruzen, we must capture the Six-Tails this time!"

"We're already working on it," Hiruzen replied calmly, glancing at Danzo. "Since the Six-Tails has practically landed in our hands, we're certainly not going to pass up the opportunity. It'll also make for a useful bargaining chip in negotiations with Kirigakure."

Danzo stepped up to Hiruzen's desk, his face stern. "Are you rea...

20 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Akira was deep in thought, carefully deliberating over which five kekkei genkai he should fuse using the Chimera Technique. This decision required precision—no resources could go to waste.

"Which five kekkei genkai would be best to choose?" Akira pondered, his thoughts swirling as he struggled to settle on a decision.

In the ninja world, renowned kekkei genkai were few and far between. Many were achieved through dedicated training rather than being passed down through bloodlines...

19 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

To his utter shock, Akira, the young shinobi standing beside Kakashi, was far more powerful than he had anticipated.

"If I'd known this, I'd have gone to the underworld first to gather intel..." Hiruko thought bitterly. A seasoned jōnin since the Second Great Ninja War. Yet here he was, utterly defeated by this Uchiha.

"When the Sannin were his age, they weren't this strong!" Hiruko seethed with frustration.

In the next instant, the massive beast he had been controlling fro...

18 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Akira looked at Hiruko with a strange expression. Was this guy a little unhinged? Have rogue ninja really grown this arrogant? Does he not understand his own limits?

"With your Sharingan, my Chimera Jutsu will finally be perfected. Surpassing the Sannin and achieving true immortality won't just be a dream anymore!" Hiruko's eyes blazed with fervor as he spoke, his gaze fixed on Kakashi.

A chill ran down Kakashi's spine. He looked at Hiruko oddly. Was this rogue really so out of to...

17 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

After a brief moment of contemplation, Shikaku spoke,

"Since Kirigakure has deployed the Six-Tails on the battlefield and the jinchuriki has fallen, the beast has surfaced within the borders of the Land of Fire. For both the safety of our citizens and the interests of the village, we can't afford to sit back and ignore this."

If they could capture the Six-Tails, then Konoha would have considerable leverage in negotiations with Kirigakure. Even if Kirigakure wasn't willing to recla...

16 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

From the current situation, it seemed that the Six-Tails, Saiken, might be left for some time. Eventually, it would be hunted down—either by Konoha or Kirigakure would likely make a move. Capturing a tailed beast wasn't easy, it required preparation. However, if Akira could form a summoning contract with the Six-Tails, making it his own summoning beast, then this situation could be handled differently.

After some quick preparations, Akira could summon the Six-Tails directly and captur...

15 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

As it turns out, the rumor about the Mangekyō Sharingan's ability to control tailed beasts isn't a myth—it's absolutely true. After implanting cells from Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Obito's ocular power became strong enough to control even the perfect jinchūriki, Yagura of the Three-Tails. Not even the mighty Nine-Tails escaped his grasp.

Akira hadn't implanted Hashirama's cells, so his ocular power wasn't on the same nearly-eternal Mangekyō level as Obito's. However, the Six-Tails was...

14 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Akira's ninjutsu had been disrupting Haori, preventing him from using the Tailed Beast Bomb. But now, with Akira's punch having knocked him back, Haori finally had the chance to unleash his ultimate move, a technique that could determine the battle's outcome.

As Haori, the partial Jinchuriki of the Six-Tails, began to charge up the Tailed Beast Bomb, Akira smirked, his lips curving up in amusement.

"Let's see which is faster—your Tailed Beast Bomb or my lightning!"

With a ...

13 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

In the next moment, Akira moved. With a powerful leap, he soared into the air, his hands a blur as he completed a series of hand seals in an instant.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Gathering a massive amount of chakra, Akira released it in a fiery torrent, launching a colossal fireball—tens of meters wide—downward like a blazing meteor ready to crush everything in its path.

Roar!

The Six-Tails jinchūriki, Haori, let out a deep growl, restricted by his tr...

12 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

"Guy, Genma, Ebisu—go ahead and stop the team," Uchiha Akira ordered, looking at the assembled jōnin. Their mentor, Chōza Akimichi, was still fighting on the front lines.

Despite only being a chūnin, Uchiha Akira held considerable authority within the team due to his impressive achievements, respected as if he were a jōnin himself.

"What's the plan now?" Hyūga Homon asked gravely, his gaze fixed in the ten o'clock direction, where a figure that appeared to be a Jinchūriki ...

11 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

The mission to escort the wounded was classified as A-rank, and Akira wasn't undertaking it alone. Altogether, twelve shinobi in three teams were assigned to this operation. When they gathered, Akira recognized some familiar faces: Duy, Guy, Ebisu, Genma, and even Kakashi.

The higher-ups were taking no chances with this escort mission. The team was high-caliber, with not only skilled shinobi like Akira and Duy but also members of the Hyūga clan providing reconnaissance.

The group...

10 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

After a brief conversation, Fugaku's gaze shifted toward the four famous swords laid out on the ground: the Twin Swords Kiba, Kubikiribōchō, Nuibari (Sewing Needle), and the Blunt Sword Kabutowari. These swords, once belonging to elite Mist shinobi, had become spoils of war for Akira, who had slain their previous owners.

Seeing Fugaku hesitate as if he wanted to say something, Akira spoke up first.

"Clan leader, do you need these four swords?"

Hearing Akira take the initia...

9 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

"It was just luck—a quick strike while they weren't expecting it," Akira waved his hand dismissively.

"There's no such thing as luck on the battlefield," Minato replied, smiling even wider. "I can only imagine how pleased Fugaku will be when he hears about this."

Minato's girlfriend, Kushina, was close friends with Uchiha Mikoto, Fugaku's wife, which had helped him secure the support of the Uchiha clan. The stronger the Uchiha became, the happier Minato was, as their strength wo...

8 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Even though Akira's Shadow Clone was only acting as a distraction, it still managed to keep Momotaro constantly on edge. As the situation grew increasingly dangerous, Momotaro's frustration and desperation intensified.

"Damn Uchiha!" Momotaro gritted his sharp teeth, nearly cracking them in anger. In all his life, he had never experienced such a humiliating fight.

"Uchiha brat, I'll finish you off!" he snarled, unleashing a surge of chakra from his body. Without hesitation, he pou...

7 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

"Guy, isn't your dad just a genin? How is he this strong?" Ebisu's sunglasses nearly fell off, leaving him utterly stunned.

Genma swallowed hard, staring at Guy in amazement.

"Guy, your dad's so powerful—why didn't you tell us? Afraid we'd beg him to teach us?"

Guy was just as dazed, unable to process that his father, the man who was always shouting about youth, could possess such immense strength.

Watching the scene with growing dread, Raiga, Fuguki, and Momotaro be...

6 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Boom!

A violent explosion reverberated as Might Duy, enveloped in green vapor, was sent flying back.

"Tch," grumbled Jūzō Biwa, clearly displeased as he tossed his sword back onto his shoulder. 

Jūzō had thought he could finish Might Duy off with a single surprise strike. However, Duy's reaction time was far quicker than he'd anticipated. Despite looking like some kind of rare beast, Duy was no slouch in terms of strength.

A bead of sweat rolled down ...

5 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

Might Guy murmured to himself in awe, "Is this really the power of an Uchiha prodigy? He doesn't look much older than us…"

In the sea of flames ahead, a thunderous voice erupted from Fuguki:

"Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"

Hiss!

Water and fire collided, creating an immense, searing steam cloud that quickly spread, shrouding the surrounding area for hundreds of meters. The steam rose rapidly but was blown skyward as Akira unleashed a powerful...

4 Naruto: Snatching the Mangekyō

At this moment, Akira cursed his lack of sensory skills.

The signal flares bursting overhead were a clear sign—Konoha ninja calling for help in a crisis.

Before he could react, he heard the quick pounding of footsteps approaching.

Akira turned to see three young ninja, around twelve or thirteen, sprinting through the dense forest toward him. One wore a tight green jumpsuit and had a bowl-cut hairstyle that made him look like a green-skinned kappa. Another had a senbon clen...

3 Naruto: Snatchin the Mangekyō

Though Akira was a Chunin, he worked alone, without any team members. He used to have three teammates—new Genin who had just graduated from the academy. But war showed no mercy. Even the grandson of Senju Hashirama had fallen, what chance did fresh academy graduates stand?

All three of his teammates perished in a large-scale battle. Although Akira was from the powerful Uchiha clan and had a strong skillset, he couldn't constantly watch over his team in the chaos of war. After their de...

2 Naruto: Snatchin the Mangekyō

After the transplant was complete, Akira took a brief moment to sense the new eye. Then, he controlled his left eye, changing the scarlet Sharingan back to a regular black pupil. Now wasn't the time to explore the powers of this Mangekyo Sharingan, though he could already feel the subtle changes that came with it.

As an Uchiha, he could control the transplanted eye with ease. Unlike Kakashi, who couldn't deactivate his Sharingan, Akira could turn it on and off effortlessly.

Instea...

1 Naruto: Snatchin the Mangekyō

At the border of the Land of Fire.

The warfront between Konohagakure and Kirigakure.

The land lay scarred and broken, littered with bloodstains, shattered kunai, and shuriken. Wisps of smoke still rose from the recent battle. Near the edge of the battlefield, a few teenage shinobi were whispering among themselves.

"I heard they still haven't found Rin Nohara, the Yellow Flash's student. She's been missing for days."

"First Obito Uchiha sacrifices himself, and now it lo...
