Mikoto followed Uchiha Itachi to his home.
She saw herself.
"That's me?"
The Uchiha compound was littered with corpses.
The air was thick with the scent of blood, heavy and suffocating.
A deep, gut-wrenching feeling took hold of her.
"Run away!"
Mikoto let out a heartbreaking cry.
Uchiha Itachi raised his blade, his expression cold and unreadable, before he swung it down effortlessly.
It felt as real as a nightmare, yet as surreal as a dream.
Mikoto saw herself falling to the sword of the Murderer that was Uchiha Itachi.
Everywhere she looked, there were bodies, blood staining the streets, the walls, everything.
Helplessness, despair, and resentment surged through her heart like an unrelenting storm.
Uchiha Mikoto collapsed onto the ground, staring at her trembling hands.
"Why? Why is this happening? Is this the fate of the Uchiha clan?"
A shadow loomed over her. A figure stood before her, tall and imposing.
Behind him, the massive, menacing form of the Nine-Tails loomed, its red eyes locked onto her.
It was Kurama.
The man in front of her radiated an overwhelming power, something beyond anything she had ever felt before.
Kurama's deep crimson pupils bore into her soul.
"Do you want power?"
His voice was a whisper laced with dark temptation.
"Do you want to change the Uchiha clan?"
"Do you want to take control of your future?"
"Come to me. I have everything you desire."
The Nine-Tails was the embodiment of power.
Kurama's lips curled into a sinister smirk as he spread his arms wide.
"Embrace me, and you will gain the strength you crave. You will be able to control the future, to reshape Uchiha's destiny."
Do you want to embrace the future or give up everything?
Strength.
The future.
Uchiha Itachi's bloodlust was still fresh in Mikoto's mind.
Wasn't all of this happening because she lacked power?
She wanted strength.
She wanted to control the future.
With unwavering resolve, Uchiha Mikoto threw herself into Kurama's embrace.
She clung tightly to him, desperation pouring out of her in waves.
She wanted to change everything.
She screamed out, her voice raw with emotion:
"I want power! I want a future! I want to change Uchiha!"
Mikoto thought of the death of her closest kin, of the clan members slaughtered mercilessly.
At that moment, something ignited within her.
A special chakra surged through her brain, flowing directly into her optic nerves.
The three tomoe in her eyes spun wildly.
Faster. Faster.
And then, inside her blood-red pupils, the tomoe merged, forming intricate twin rings.
This was Uchiha Mikoto's Mangekyō Sharingan.
Kurama's gaze sharpened as he looked deep into Mikoto's soul, peering into the future she would carve.
However, he made one adjustment.
In this new future, Uchiha Mikoto was no longer the wife of Fugaku, nor the mother of Itachi.
Kurama's influence ran deep.
This was an S-rank technique, and everything was now within his control.
In the real world, Mikoto suddenly opened her eyes.
She gasped for air before shouting:
"Uchiha will change! I will take control of the future!"
The sheer intensity of her chakra forced Kushina back several steps.
"Mikoto! Mikoto, are you okay?"
Still shaken from the visions of the Uchiha massacre, Mikoto's breath was ragged.
She couldn't calm down.
Sweat dripped from her body.
Her hair clung to her damp cheeks, her clothes sticking to her skin.
Seeing Mikoto's condition, Kushina grew worried.
"Kurama, will Mikoto be alright?"
"Don't worry," Kurama replied with a smirk. "She was just greatly stimulated. Let her rest."
Kushina hesitated before asking, "Did it work, Kurama? Did Mikoto awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Kurama chuckled darkly.
"Of course. Without my power, I doubt you'd be able to match her now."
Time passed, each second stretching endlessly.
Mikoto's gaze slowly focused, and the first thing she saw was Kushina.
Kushina was leaning against a tree, taking a nap, her breathing soft and steady.
"Kushina, wake up."
"Ah! Mikoto! Are you okay? You were so pale and sweating like crazy just now! You scared me!"
Kushina immediately pulled Mikoto into a tight hug.
Mikoto smiled, a newfound determination burning in her eyes.
"Thank you, Kushina. Because of you, I was able to see the Uchiha's future... and I awakened my Mangekyō Sharingan."
Kushina's eyes widened in shock.
"Really?"
Mikoto nodded.
A confident smirk played on her lips as her blood-red Sharingan spun rapidly, shifting into the distinct pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Kushina's consciousness was suddenly pulled into the sealed space.
In the depths of her mind, she found herself before Kurama.
Without hesitation, she lunged at him, wrapping her arms around the massive fox's snout.
"Kurama, you're amazing! You really helped Mikoto awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan!"
Kushina knew how much Mikoto had longed for this power.
And now, she had finally obtained it.
Kurama scoffed. "Hey, Kushina, get off me already. Go see what her Mangekyō can do."
"Nope! As a thank you, I'm hugging you a little longer."
Kushina clung to him stubbornly, grinning like a child.
Kurama growled, exasperated. "Really? If you keep acting like this, the other half of me is going to get annoyed."
Hearing that, Kushina immediately let go, rubbing the back of her head awkwardly.
"Aha... haha... Okay, okay! I'm going back now!"
Kurama smirked.
He had found the perfect way to deal with Kushina's antics.
Outside, Mikoto tapped Kushina's cheek, pulling her back to reality.
"Kushina, why were you spacing out?"
Kushina blinked before shaking her head. "No, nothing! Mikoto, is the Mangekyō Sharingan really that strong?"
The wind carried fallen leaves across the ground as Mikoto's confident smile deepened.
"I'm still getting used to its abilities. Kushina, I want you to punch me."
"Punch you?"
Kushina stared in confusion.
Mikoto nodded.
"Yes, with everything you've got."
Still puzzled, Kushina shrugged and threw a half-hearted punch.
Her fist barely grazed Mikoto's cheek.
Mikoto sighed in frustration, though amusement flickered in her eyes.
"Kushina, that wasn't a punch. That was a tap."
She locked eyes with her friend, her gaze filled with steel-like determination.
"I need you to come at me like I'm your enemy. Hit me with your full strength."
