章節 36: Chapter 36: Mangekyō Sharingan
Note:
This is an AU of Naruto world and many things are different.
*************************************
"No problem, these corpses aren't enough to stop me!" Jonin, now known as Yuta, looked disdainfully at the blindly rushing corpses.
Orochimaru, was half-kneeling on the Rashomon Gate, his expression dignified. Two crimson streamers submerged into his body once again. He stared at Uchiha Kaze, feeling a little uneasy.
After all, his own dead corpses was nothing more than cannon fodder. Uchiha Yuta, using fire release ninjutsu, scorched and incinerated them one by one. Orochimaru's condition was not good.
Kaze looked casually at Orochimaru, ignoring the corpses in front of him. He unscrewed a small black bottle and drank from it.
The vial contained pitch-black liquid thicker than blood, as if it held life within.
"Cough, cough!" Kaze coughed violently, but his eyes remained fixed on Orochimaru.
An ominous black mist enveloped Kaze's body, as if he was suffering immense pain, and he seemed to lose weight. However, Orochimaru sensed that Kaze's soul power was increasing sharply, even surpassing that of the perception type Jōnin!
What's going on? Why does it feel like his chakra increased ? Orochimaru was shocked, trying to understand the third elder's trump card to control him.
"Are you alright?" Uchiha Yuta finally disposed of the dozen or so corpses. He could have rushed to deal with Orochimaru directly, but he chose to buy time for Kaze.
"Ahem, I didn't expect the side effects to be so great!" Kaze's voice became hoarse, "The price paid to capture this Orochimaru is too high, but fortunately, it's about to succeed!"
As Orochimaru looked at Kaze, blood flowed from one of his sharingan, and the three tomoe spun rapidly like a vortex, absorbing the black mist from his body. The three tomoe seemed to be linking together!
"Not good! Could this be the Mangekyō Sharingan?!" Orochimaru exclaimed, feeling a tremendous sense of pressure. He even had the urge to turn around and run!
"Oh? You actually know about the Mangekyō Sharingan!" Kaze was genuinely surprised. This kid knew a lot and has lots of secrets.
However, Kaze relaxed again, knowing that he would soon capture Orochimaru, and all his secrets would belong to the clan.
"Don't try to run!" Uchiha Yuta yelled, "Lightning Release: Electric Shock Chains!"
Electric light burst from all ten fingers, weaving a huge electrical grid to cover Orochimaru!
"Humph!" Orochimaru snorted coldly, instantly covering the surrounding space with his soul power. His body moved in a weird manner, seemingly not that fast, yet Yuta's grid beam couldn't keep up with his ghostly pace. Every time Orochimaru moved, he would be struck by lightning on the spot he moved from, and when he stopped, lightning would strike half a meter in front of him!
"Damn, this kid is so slippery!" Yuta was sweating profusely, determined to maim Orochimaru and prevent his escape.
Orochimaru looked disdainfully at Yuta. Though his Lightning Release resembled an electric shock, in reality, it was still lightning-type chakra and couldn't reach the speed of electricity. Orochimaru merely used his mental power to pay attention to Yuta's gestures and avoid the attacks in advance.
Yet, Orochimaru's heart was in a fierce struggle. Should he continue to fight to the death or turn and run?
Kaze was putting more and more pressure on Orochimaru, and Yuta, who had released Lightning Release, was difficult to deal with as well. Orochimaru didn't know what kind of pupil technique Kaze seemed to activate with his Mangekyō Sharingan, and the thought of facing a powerful technique like Amaterasu in his current state was daunting.
Running away seemed like the rational choice, leaving the battlefield to fight another day.
However, Orochimaru was not ready to give up! He had overestimated his combat power. While the trap he set up was effective against Chunin, dealing with a Jōnin like Yuta proved challenging. Yet, retreating felt like surrendering to a life under the teacher's protection, never truly growing stronger.
Orochimaru hesitated but was then accidentally hit by an electric current. Pain seared through his right shoulder, and his white robe was now tattered.
The pain was excruciating, but it brought clarity to Orochimaru's mind. He suddenly realized that Kaze's pupil technique must be an illusion, as it was the trump card of the third elder used to control him.
And if it was an illusion, Orochimaru had confidence in his strong mental will!
Kaze had used a secret medicine to forcibly open the Mangekyō Sharingan, but it was a one-time use. The true power of the Mangekyō Sharingan could not be unlocked through external force; it was an ability unique to its wielder.
The Uchiha clan had no control over how many individuals could awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. While many talented Uchiha clan's member had done so in the past, it was not a guarantee. To maintain their fighting power, the Uchiha's would take the eyes of deceased ninja with Mangekyō Sharingan and create secret medicines for others to use temporarily during times of crisis.
But for now, Kaze was relying on the power borrowed from a previous generation.
Realizing this, Orochimaru stared at Kaze's eyes, which were filled with ambition.
If it's an illusion, then I have a chance. My mental will is strong!
The secret medicine Kaze used to activate the Mangekyō Sharingan was only a temporary measure, and Orochimaru believed that he could resist its effects with his willpower.
In fact, the secret medicine allowed Kaze to unlock the Mangekyō Sharingan for only one use. The real Mangekyō Sharingan was something that could not be forcefully opened. It was an ability unique to the Uchiha who awakened it.
The Uchiha clan could not control how many individuals would awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. It was a matter of talent as well experience and while some generations had more individuals with the Mangekyō Sharingan and at times, there were fewer.
To maintain the clan's strength, when a ninja with the Mangekyō Sharingan died, their eyes would be taken out to create secret medicines, allowing others to borrow their power during times of crisis.
This genius ninja from the line of the third elder was the last card in his possession. For the sake of his family and his own ambitions, he had wagered everything on this moment.
He firmly believed that even Orochimaru's strong spiritual power would succumb to this illusion!
"Go to hell!" Orochimaru also believed in himself and charged at Kaze with a fierce determination. He was determined to strike down Kaze the moment the illusion was unleashed.
But Kaze closed his eyes and opened them again. The three tomoe in his pupils had transformed into three slender arcs, spinning rapidly.
This power was bestowed upon him by his predecessors!
"You're too late," Kaze said, showing a triumphant smile. "I've already prepared for this!"
