Chapter 17: ch17
The matter was of great importance, so John lost focus on the mission and pulled Ashley to sit next to a huge rock to inquire carefully.
"You know a lot, don't you? Tell me everything."
"Ah, this is fate." Ashley sighed, "Perhaps your spiritual power talent is meant for the Sharingan. You are exactly the same as those predecessors."
"Ashley, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us," Ethan was also anxious. He saw his buddy getting better and better and would soon become a man of renown, but now this happened?
Ashley never intended to hide it; she just wanted to find the right time. Now that the two of them were questioning her, she simply told them everything.
"Sharingan, Uchiha, this clan is called the Unknown in both the Sacred Tree World and the real world. After we enter the Sacred Tree Secret Realm in a few days, you two will naturally know how hostile those natives are to the Uchiha."
"That was an extreme group. Except for a little boy of a few years old, all the other members of the group were killed. You would never guess who the murderer was. It was..."
"Uchiha did it themselves, right?" John fiddled with a weed in his hand. "Let's get to the point. I know all this."
Ashley looked at him in astonishment after hearing this. "This is something that my senior management went through great pains to find out. You can't possibly know this."
"I have my own way." John grinned and said casually, "Don't worry about these. Tell me why Sharingan is called the Unknown. I don't think there is such a saying in the Sacred Tree World."
"Okay, although I don't know how the organization knows this information that only the strong can find out, since you don't have accurate information, you must remember what I'm going to say next."
"In the three hundred years of Chakra cultivation history on our Sacred Tree Continent, a total of fifty-seven Sharingans have appeared, and they all ended up in death."
"Even though the arrival of the Sacred Tree World 20 years ago could quickly improve the strength of ninjas, more than 20 Sharingan owners still died."
"As a result, no one dares to pursue this item. All powerful families are deliberately avoiding Uchiha and telling their members not to join this clan."
"Of course, it's impossible for ordinary people to join. The Sacred Tree wouldn't give them the Uchiha option if they didn't have strong spiritual power when they first awakened."
"So John, if you don't want to follow the old path of these predecessors in the future, then don't awaken the Sharingan. You can still be saved now. Once you awaken even one tomoe, you are doomed to die. The terrible mental load of the Sharingan will crush you to death."
Ashley warned John very seriously. After hearing this, John did not ask any more questions but thought quickly in his mind.
"A huge mental burden? Sharingan has side effects but it shouldn't be fatal. Is the real world mutated too much?"
"But no matter what, I have to awaken my eyes. Not only the ordinary Sharingan, but also the Mangekyō, or even the Eternal Mangekyō. Otherwise, this identity and bloodline will be wasted."
"Maybe what Ashley said is true, but there must be a misunderstanding. Even if there is no misunderstanding, I will find a way to solve the side effects of Sharingan, such as the immortal body..."
John slowly raised his head and stared at Ashley seriously, "Thank you for your advice, I will remember it."
When Ashley saw him like this, she knew that he would not listen. She got angry and hit John hard on the head.
"You are such a stubborn fool, are you really looking for death?"
"It hurts." John rubbed his head helplessly, "Ashley, I know my limits. Don't forget that my theory is much better than yours. Many difficulties are not unsolvable."
"Yes, Ashley." Ethan also interrupted. He understood now and encouraged his buddy, "Have you forgotten that this guy's mental power is off the charts? According to you, as long as the mental power is strong enough, it can suppress Sharingan, don't worry."
"What do you know!" Ashley angrily looked at the two people in front of her, "I have just said that John and his predecessors are from the same school, they are all mentally strong people."
"Ethan, you just have no brains. I have said it so clearly and you still don't understand. People who are not mentally strong enough will not be qualified to activate Sharingan. Do you understand this time? The seniors who were dragged down by Sharingan before were geniuses like John!"
"How could this happen..." Ethan's eyes widened after hearing this, and he looked at John and murmured, "John, why don't we just be obedient and not awaken those ominous eyes."
John stood up and patted the dust off his pants. Instead of discussing the side effects of Sharingan with the two of them, he asked: "Ashley, I hear what you mean. Sharingan will not be coveted by others, right?"
He was in a good mood at the moment. He didn't expect Sharingan to have such a "prestige," so he was protecting himself unintentionally.
If it can be used by anyone like the original work, then you are in danger when you are weak. Without a strong backer, you could be killed by those greedy for the Sharingan.
Ashley nodded, "If it was fifty years ago, the big forces still wanted to study Sharingan, but they have given up now. No matter what, they will die. This is an unchangeable fate."
"So it's a blessing among misfortunes. At least you don't have to worry about someone stealing your eyes, haha."
She smiled bitterly, unwilling to give in to John. In her heart, this friend had always wanted to be dignified, progressive, and unwilling to be ordinary. He should not end like this.
"That's good, let's continue on the road. We'll talk about the rest later." John smiled and patted the two of them on the shoulders. "My life is very tough. I have a feeling that I will be the first person on the mainland to tame Sharingan."
"I hope you can really do it." Ashley sighed softly, Ethan stopped talking, and finally shook his head and walked forward.
After setting out on the road again, the atmosphere was obviously a little more solemn. The three of them did not communicate too much and quickly found the mission target.
There was an abandoned courtyard less than 200 meters directly in front of the three of them. Three of the four walls had collapsed, and weeds almost covered the door. If it weren't for a large truck at the door, they wouldn't have recognized it as a human building.
Next to the truck lay a huge white fluffy rabbit. It looked harmless to humans and animals, but it was too big. Judging from the comparison, it was at least two meters long.
"That's the Curly-tailed Rabbit. The Chakra is about 5 cards." Ashley held a white rapier in her hand and looked around. Ethan also took out his weapon.
"The nearest monster around us is about four kilometers away. It's also a Curly-tailed Rabbit, but it's more powerful than this one. It seems that the Chakra is no less than 10 cards. You can fight with confidence."
"Then get ready to take action and discuss a strategy?" John immediately decided. This kind of environment is rare. After all, in the wild, it is not a duel in the arena, and you can encounter any unexpected situation.
For example, if you are hunting a target and a powerful beast annihilation team suddenly appears, or other ninjas are behind you, you must be extremely vigilant.
"Let's do it, it's only 5 cards, it should be easy." Ethan nodded his huge head, and the muscles under his clothes bulged slightly, ready to take action.
Curly-tailed Rabbit doesn't know any Ninjutsu, it just relies on its physical strength, and it doesn't have any fear.
"Okay, big guy, you can use it as a human shield to attract the attention of the Curly-tailed Rabbit. John and I will give it a fatal attack."
"Well, here we go!"
After Ethan said this, he sprang out and reached the distance of 200 meters in less than ten seconds. In John's previous life, this was definitely inhuman.
But in the Sacred Tree Continent, he is too inconspicuous. He is just a rookie who has just become Genin. No one will be surprise.
