The ground around her was littered with bodies-some with their throats slashed by kunai, others with their hearts pierced.
In the middle of the forest, Mikoto stood silently, clutching her ninja blade tightly, her head bowed. Blood dripped from the blade, and her clothes were spattered with it as well.
"Mikoto," Xin called as he approached. Mikoto, who had been standing there, gripping the hilt of her sword and saying nothing, finally looked up at him.
Her eyes were bright red, each bearing a single spinning tomoe. It was clear that the emotional turmoil from her first kill had triggered the awakening of her Sharingan.
So, she awakened her eyes because of her first kill? Xin thought. At nearly eleven years old, awakening the Sharingan at this age placed Mikoto among the more advanced members of the Uchiha clan. The idea of awakening at seven or eight was rare, reserved only for the most exceptional individuals.
Most Uchiha typically awakened their Sharingan in their early teens. Xin, of course, was an exception-his Sharingan awakening had been more of a cheat.
"It's over. The enemies are all dead," Xin said, gently pulling Mikoto into a comforting embrace and patting her back to calm her down.
Under his soothing words, Mikoto's emotional storm gradually subsided.
"Xin my eyes..." Mikoto began hesitantly.
"That's right, you've awakened your Sharingan. From today on, you're officially a Uchiha prodigy," Xin teased with a light-hearted tone.
Mikoto, now more relaxed, smiled faintly.
"Let's go. I don't want to stay here with all these corpses around," she said, still shaken from the experience of taking lives for the first time.
"Are you two alright?" the client asked, startled by the blood on Mikoto's clothes. He had assumed she must have been injured.
"We're fine," Xin reassured him with a smile. "They were just ordinary swordsmen; they couldn't hurt us. Let's keep moving, old man."
The forests around Konoha were home to various animals that would eventually take care of the bodies left behind.
As they continued their journey, Xin explained the side effects of the newly awakened Sharingan to Mikoto.
"After awakening the Sharingan, it may feel a bit strange at first. If you keep it activated for too long, your eyes might become sore, and your chakra and mental energy will drain faster," Xin advised her.
Of course, if necessary Xin will use his Sacret Gear to healer Mikoto's eyes, btu right now, she dont need it, she need more training than healing.
Despite the ambush, the team successfully reached the Daimyo's residence by noon, completing their escort mission.
Though the pay for this mission was on the lower end, Xin felt it was well worth it since Mikoto had awakened her Sharingan. To him, that was far more valuable than any amount of money.
Once they returned to the village, Mikoto would begin adapting to her new abilities, and her strength would grow rapidly.
Whether it was the single tomoe, the second, or the fully matured three-tomoe Sharingan, each progression would significantly enhance the power of an Uchiha.
And if she were to one day unlock the Mangekyo Sharingan, and then the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, her strength would increase exponentially.
