Chapter 276: Chapter – 272 Played Around
'Is it possible that the Sharingan in his eye sockets has evolved to Mangekyou Sharingan?' – Tsukihi temporarily had this thought, and her attention was again on the pattern in Hiruko's eyes.
However, this thought was soon dispelled as the pattern of Sharingan in Hiruko's eyes was that of a simple Sharingan, that is the three tomoe state.
Tsukihi thought, 'No, he does not have the Mangekyou Sharingan.'
With Hiruko's character, if he had Mangekyou Sharingan, he would have definitely shown it out in the open without any concealment by now. Hiruko wouldn't be as cautious as Tsukihi. As such, Tsukihi can conclude without a doubt that Hiruko does not have the Mangekyou Sharingan.
'But its surprising that even with just a base Sharingan Hiruko is able to put Orochimaru in Genjutsu'
This was surprising, after all, who is Yumie?
A Sannin!
Even if Genjutsu is her weakness, it wouldn't be to the point that amateurs such as Hiruko, who have just gotten a pair of Sharingan will be able to affect.
Yet it's happening here!
'How come his Visual Prowess is so high?' – Doubts were flooding Tsukihi's mind.
Despite the many doubts in her heart, Tsukihi knew that now was not the time to delve into them, so putting away her thoughts, she brought out shuriken from her sleeves and threw them towards Hiruko.
Whiiish… Whiish… Whiish… Whiish
Accompanied by the sharp sound of cutting through the wind, each spinning Shuriken gleaming with cold light went towards Hiruko at different speeds and angles.
Hiruko with his Sharingan was obviously able to see the trajectories of the incoming Shuriken.
The corners of his lips arched, he did not even feel the need to rely on Swift Release, his body swayed from one position to another, and he managed to dodge each of the Shuriken with minimal movements.
"Is that the best you can do?" – Hiruko said in a mocking tone.
Ding… Ding…
But before he can be too happy, Hiruko heard the sound of a metal collision coming from behind him.
The spectators were able to see that the Shuriken thrown by Uchiha Tsukihi collided with each other after they went past Hiruko.
After multiple collisions, from one Shuriken to another, the trajectories of the Shuriken's changed, two shurikens shot backward, while a third one accelerated in the direction of Yumie, who was under the effect of Genjutsu.
As soon as he realized that something was wrong, Hiruko turned his head and noticed the two Shuriken coming towards him.
But the Kinetic Energy of the two Shuriken coming towards him was obviously decreased because of the multiple collision, as such speed was slower and because Hiruko could use Steel Release, he did not panic, and as soon as his arms darkened, he immediately raised his hands and caught the two Shuriken between his finger.
After successfully catching the two shurikens, Hiruko turned and shot both of them towards Tsukihi, "How about you try to dodge these!"
Tsukihi smiled and threw two more Shuriken.
One of the Shurikens thrown by Tsukihi collided with one of the incoming Shurikens thrown by Hiruko.
The other Shuriken thrown by Tsukihi missed the Shuriken thrown by Hiruko by an inch, and went towards Hiruko, while the shuriken thrown by Hiruko was coming towards Tsukihi.
Hiruko chuckled and raised his arm to catch the incoming Shuriken.
While Tsukihi seemed to have a look of horror, as it was already too late to block the incoming Shuriken.
Hiruko knew that his attack succeeded, and he was feeling excited.
But just as the Shuriken thrown by Hiruko touched Tsukihi, Tsukihi's body exploded into a cloud of white smoke, while the Shuriken that was coming towards Hiruko turned into Tsukihi.
Hiruko face changed immediately, he instantly activated the Swift Release and was about to flicker away, when suddenly the ground under Hiruko's feet turned into a swamp, effectively restricting his movements.
At the same time, a pair of bandages trapped Hiruko's hand, restricting his hand movements.
Hiruko struggled to break free, and he actually did, but the moment he broke free of the bandages was the exact moment when Tsukihi pierced her Kunai in the chest of Hiruko.
The Kunai plunged into Hiruko's chest, and cut effectively cut through the muscles but just at the moment when it was about to puncture the heart, a loud metal clashing sound echoed.
Undoubtedly Hiruko managed to use Steel Release to surround his heart in a protective covering and instantly kicked the bitch in the stomach sending her flying away.
BOOOooooommmMMMM!!!
The moment Hiruko kicked the bitch in the stomach, her body exploded creating another loud explosion that shook the mountain.
Cough! Cough…!
Soon the dust and smoke cleared to reveal a damaged-up mountain top, Hiruko's figure stood in the middle with a pretty beat-up state, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, and clothes burned to cinders.
Cough…! Cough!
Next, Yumie's figure was revealed, with a line of blood dripping along her thighs from the point where a Shuriken pierced her.
But there was no figure of Tsukihi.
Just when everyone wondered where she is, the Katana lying on the ground turned into Tsukihi.
Wiping away the blood from the corners of his mouth, Hiruko observed everything.
Looking at the wound on Yumie's thighs, and all the things that happened in the few last seconds, Hiruko understood what happened.
Realizing that he was played by Uchiha Tsukihi, Hiruko roared in anger, "Damn it, you… you…!"
A very similar feeling sprouted in the heart of Yumie (Orochimaru).
The fact that she was put in a Genjutsu by someone like Hiruko was unacceptable and touching the wound on her thigh, looking at the red blood Yumie felt more terrible.
What's more unacceptable was for her, a Sannin to be saved a mere young Kunoichi, even if she is from the Uchiha Clan.
A sense of shame that was never felt before grew in her heart.
"Sharingan…" – was what Yumie, muttered as she looked at Hiruko's eyes and then at Tsukihi's eyes, and this is the moment when the obsession gain to Sharingan took birth.
"Alright, that's enough already…"
Just as Hiruko was about to continue his attack, Tendo Pain's indifferent voice came.
Hiruko was not done, how can he not return the shame he suffered by being played around by Uchiha Tsukihi, and he retorted to Pain's command, "I will finish them soon enough!"
Tendo Pain glared at Hiruko, and his tone became colder, "Don't make me repeat myself, I have seen your performance more than enough, there is no need to continue anymore, it is only wasting everyone's time."
To be honest, Pain was a little disappointed with the performance shown by Hiruko, even after successfully completing the ritual.
Pain can see that Hiruko's strength has greatly improved, but the fact that Hiruko couldn't even hold his own against two young Kunoichi greatly disappointed him.
Sasori added with a lightly mocking tone, "It appears that Pain expected too much from you!"
The other members of Akatsuki either sneered, showed disdain, or were disappointed.
Although the performance of the two Kunoichi was indeed a bit unexpected, Hiruko was still too pathetic in their opinion.
Hiruko wanted to retort, but understanding that what Pain said was indeed true, he really was unable to suppress both of them, so he didn't know what to say anymore.
Seeing the disdain and contempt directed towards him, Hiruko felt unprecedentedly aggrieved.

Chapter 277: Chapter – 273 Uchiha-san is Unexpectedly Sharp…
Different from aggrieved Hiruko who stood at the center of the platform.
Tsukihi had a thoughtful expression as she was wondering the cause of the increase in Visual Prowess of the Sharingan that Hiruko has in his eye sockets.
Because the plan she is working on is based on Hiruko's 'Chimera Technique,' therefore, Tsukihi was able to conduct an in-depth analysis of the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual that took place here not long ago.
In Tsukihi's opinion, if done correctly, and perfectly, Chimera Technique is an incredibly wonderful technique that is capable of turning coal into a diamond.
But the Chimera Technique used by Hiruko was imperfect, at least, from her standards.
First and foremost, Hiruko did not select Kekkei Genkai based on their Nature Chakra elements, he selected Kekkei Genkai that he believed were most useful to make a perfect ninja.
But even if we analyze the Kekkei Genkai he selected, there is Storm Release with Lightning and Water Chakra Nature, Steel Release with Earth Release Chakra, Swift Release with Wind Chakra Nature, and Uchiha Clan with Fire Chakra Nature.
Because of his narrow vision, Hiruko did not even consider the five basic Chakra Nature at the time of detailing and laying out the Ritual, much less the Yin and Yang Chakra Nature.
Yin and Yang are the most critical Chakra nature to reach perfect fusion.
Because of his ignorance, Hiruko ignored what's more important, and no matter how much he trains or masters the Kekkei Genkai, Hiruko would never be able to reach the level of Kekkei Mora.
But at the same time, Hiruko can't help but think of a good coincidence.
And the five people that Hiruko obtained as targets, Uchiha Hiiragi also had the Sharingan, as such Hiruko managed to obtain Yin Chakra and the Swift Release user happened to have a part Uzumaki descent, so Hiruko managed to obtain some amount of Yang Chakra, as such overall, Hiruko did get obtain the all seven-chakra nature, but because of the difference in their strength and potency, a perfect balance has not been achieved.
But at the same time, because there are all the chakra natures, so they have complemented each other, which not only made it possible for Hiruko to survive and but also improved the five Kekkei Genkai he has, and for the very same reason, the Visual Prowess of the Sharingan he obtained increased.
Tsukihi thought, 'Will the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual conducted by Hiruko be considered a success or a failure?'
From Tsukihi's standards, this ritual is indeed a failure, yet Hiruko managed to survive, at the same time managed to absorb the five Kekkei Genkai.
Whatever may be the reason for the imperfectness, from the very beginning, Hiruko's goal was to absorb the five Kekkei Genkai which he managed to complete, as such the ritual was indeed be considered a success from Hiruko's standards.
After again sorting out her thought, Tsukihi took one last look at Hiruko and Yumie, then left the platform.
After the fight just now, Tsukihi understands that Hiruko's base strength has become very strong, once Hiruko completes the adaption period, masters the use of the five Kekkei Genkai in conjunction with each other and gains battle experience, he will become truly monstrous and defeating him in a one-to-one fight will become close to impossible for most of the people in the Shinobi World.
Even within Akatsuki, his strength would be among the top five individuals, which is a big thing considering the kind of people that are part of Akatsuki.
Seeing that Tsukihi successfully completed the battle, Shinichi just nodded to Tsukihi, and with the ritual completed, there was no longer any need to stay at this mountain anymore.
Even the members of Akatsuki rarely gather together, with the objective complete, they separated in different directions and started leaving the mountain towards the directions where their next commissions point at.
But before leaving, the members of Akatsuki carefully examined Uchiha Tsukihi and Oto Yumie, even Tendo Pain the frontal leader of Akatsuki was no exception to this.
The performance of Uchiha Tsukihi, and Oto Yumie in the previous battle against Hiruko made them shine quite a lot.
While everyone was observing Uchiha Tsukihi, and Oto Yumie, Oto Yumie who was following Shinno also finally glanced at Uchiha Tsukihi with undisguised greed hidden in her eyes.
Shinichi said with a sullen face, "Be careful on the way, that woman seems to be eyeing you!"
Tsukihi nodded, then said, "Kuroto-sama needs Hiruko's 'Chimera Technique' you better start thinking about how you can obtain it and send it to him."
Shinichi sighed, "But I don't have any deep friendship with Hiruko, in fact, I find him to be very disgusting."
Tsukihi smirked, "You don't necessarily have to go to Hiruko, his partner Shinno is also there, I am willing to bet that Shinno must have obtained Chimera Technique."
Even before joining Akatsuki, Shinno who has been traveling across Shinobi World has stolen countless techniques from many shinobi villages and individuals, in the hopes of reviving the Land of Sky, and ruling the entire Shinobi World.
So how can he, who dreams of ruling over the entire Shinobi world ignore such useful techniques like the Chimera Technique?
Even Orochimaru dared to promise Kuroto Chimera Technique in exchange for an equivalent thing, so how will he obtain Chimera Technique now that he has left Akatsuki?
Shinno is his source of obtaining the Chimera Technique!
Shinichi spoke helplessly, "But I have no deep friendship with Shinno either."
Tsukihi sighed, "It would just be a deal, why is there any need for friendship?" – After a pause, Tsukihi continued, "You directly ask Shinno what does he wants in exchange for giving you the scroll recording the Chimera Technique, and see if you can fulfill it; if you can fulfill then good, but if you can't, then inform Kuroto-sama, he will naturally try to find a way."
Shinichi considered a little and then nodded, "Alright, I will see what I can do."
Tsukihi nodded.
At this time, Shinichi asked, "Hiruko's Chimera Technique can be used to absorb other's Kekkei Genkai, I wonder what Kuroto wants to do with it? He is already so strong with those Dojutsu of his, and he is still after such a disgusting technique."
'If only you knew just how deep this accursed Shinobi world is!' – Tsukihi thought inwardly, and said, "You don't need to worry over such things. Besides, because of your 15 years of servitude, you have to complete anything that Kuroto-sama says, so get to it."
Shinichi was surprised when Tsukihi spoke '15 years of servitude' and he can't help but look at Tsukihi with a deep look. "Just who are you Uchiha Tsukihi?"
Tsukihi smirked, "You will find out soon enough."
Shinichi considered Tsukihi's words, then suddenly looked at Tsukihi with a frowned expression and spoke, "Uchiha Tsukihi, talking to you, why do I feel like I am talking to Hyuga Kuroto? He isn't teaching you any weird things, right?"
Tsukihi blushed, "DON'T BE STUPID!"
"Seeing your reaction my doubts are only deepened." – Shinichi said with a smirk.
Tsukihi's face darkened, "I am too lazy to entertain you, I am leaving, make sure to be more alert from now on, okay, bye!" – After leaving that sentence, Tsukihi's directly ran forward.
Shinichi shouted from behind, "Hey if you are after him, then I suggest you give up, you don't really have a chance, or should I say that your competitor is at a great advantage."
Tsukihi's feet suddenly slipped and she fell to the ground as soon as she heard Shinichi's words, "This GUY!"
Shinichi smirked looking at the glare he was getting, "Hey I was just kidding! But all things aside, are you sure you don't need me to escort you? If you somehow die halfway, it's none of my business!"
Tsukihi cursed, "Who needs your escort, you bastard!"
"Hahahaha..." – Shinichi's laughter echoed, "Are you sure!?"
Tsukihi sighed, she no longer paid attention to Shinichi's idiocy and disappeared using the Body Flicker Technique.
With Tsukihi gone, Shinichi also disappeared using the Body Flicker Technique and arrived next to Biwa Juzo, who was patiently sitting on a cliff.
Juzo questioned, "Are you done?"
Shinichi nodded.
Juzo said, "In that case let's go, we already have our next assignment ready."
Shinichi nodded, and both of them moved to hunt down their next target.
…
On Uchiha Tsukihi's side.
After moving all the way from Land of Earth to Land of Grass, Tsukihi was finally at the border of the Land of Fire and Land of Grass.
Tsukihi obviously did not drop her vigilance.
While passing through a forest, Tsukihi suddenly stopped and said with a sigh, "You know, I have been wondering for a while now, but how long are you going to follow me?"
At this moment, the figure of Oto Yumie came out from behind another tree, and spoke with a giggle, "Ara ara, Uchiha-san is unexpectedly sharp…"
