章節 39: ## Chapter 38: Offering Wood Release, and Still Getting Rejected?
"Whoosh!!"
A powerful force surged from Izumi's eyes, filling her pupils.
Chakra continuously emanated from her eye sockets.
The three-tomoe Sharingan transformed, connecting into a line.
In the blink of an eye, it converged into a new pattern.
"Caw."
Itachi Uchiha's body was instantly severed into two halves.
In the air, only a crow fell.
The remaining dark figures flew into the sky.
Even though Izumi Uchiha was destined to die, he still used a clone to deliver the final blow.
"These eyes..."
Itachi Uchiha, standing in the distance, his pupils contracted sharply.
He had only seen these eyes on Shisui Uchiha before.
Originally, Itachi Uchiha had also thought that the Mangekyo Sharingan was just a legendary eye.
After witnessing Shisui Uchiha's eyes, he had consulted countless clan records.
In some obscure documents, there were hidden mentions of the Uchiha clan's eyes.
Only in moments of extreme anger and emotional agitation could these eyes be awakened.
These eyes carried both love and hate.
In other words...
Izumi Uchiha's eyes were awakened because of him.
"Itachi Uchiha!"
Izumi Uchiha, with a hint of unwillingness, had just awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
The chakra within her body was instantly depleted upon releasing the ocular technique.
This was the last bit of chakra squeezed out from her nearly exhausted body.
Coupled with her severe injuries and depleted chakra.
Izumi Uchiha immediately fell into a coma.
"Mangekyo Sharingan!"
At the moment these eyes appeared.
A Root ninja observing the battle from a distance had a glint of fervor in his eyes.
Such eyes... must be presented to Lord Danzo.
"This corpse must be taken back!"
The Root ninja thought to himself.
Such a special Sharingan had to be brought before Lord Danzo.
His figure moved forward, intending to kill Itachi Uchiha and seize Izumi's eyes.
"A mere group of Danzo's trained dogs, daring to show their fangs at our Uchiha clan."
"Truly a bunch of fools seeking death!"
A hand emerged from the darkness, grabbing the Root ninja's neck out of thin air.
With a spatial distortion, a figure appeared in place.
Rei had a flame-patterned fan strapped to his back.
He wore the distinctive robe of the Uchiha clan.
His three-tomoe Sharingan looked at the ninja in his hand with disdain.
"Wood Release! Silent Strangle Technique!"
The boy beside him exclaimed, his hands rapidly forming seals.
Branches sprouted from his palms, charging towards Rei.
"Bang!"
The branches passed right through Rei's figure, as if piercing through him.
It didn't affect Rei's actions in the slightest.
"It went through."
Jia stared at Rei in shock. What kind of ninjutsu was this?
He had never heard of such a ninjutsu existing in Konoha.
Wasn't his Wood Release supposed to be the Uchiha clan's nemesis?
"A Wood Release user?"
Rei's eyes held a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected Danzo to be so generous.
To send a Wood Release user along with the team to assassinate him.
This Wood Release was Danzo's secret weapon.
He was even willing to use it.
"Wood Release!"
Itachi Uchiha also exclaimed.
This was the legendary Wood Release, the only power said to rival the Uchiha clan.
He hadn't expected Konoha to still have such a person.
Compared to Izumi Uchiha, Jia's Wood Release was of greater use to Konoha.
This person absolutely couldn't fall into Rei's hands.
"Looks like my luck is pretty good today. A Wood Release user delivered right to my doorstep."
Rei casually tossed the Root ninja in his hand, sending him flying directly into the oncoming Itachi Uchiha.
Thud!
Itachi Uchiha hurriedly caught the Root ninja. He was an elite Jonin of Konoha.
Possessing great strength, he definitely had a bright future in Konoha.
There was no reason to abandon such a person, but while he was catching the ninja...
Rei had already reached Jia's side, placing a hand on his shoulder.
The next moment, countless inscriptions spread from his palm, covering Jia's entire body.
"Can't... move!"
Jia's eyes darted around. He had lost control of his body.
He tried to mobilize his chakra.
But he found his chakra suppressed as if by a mountain.
There was no movement at all.
"Wait!"
Itachi Uchiha reached out, trying to stop Rei.
But how could Rei listen to his words?
"I'll gladly accept the First Hokage's Wood Release!"
"If Danzo wants it back, he can come find me himself."
Rei directly hoisted Jia over his shoulder and vanished from the spot.
At the same time, the unconscious Izumi Uchiha on the ground also disappeared.
This time, Rei had reaped a bountiful harvest. Izumi Uchiha had awakened her Mangekyo Sharingan.
Possessing an extremely powerful offensive ocular technique.
This pair of Mangekyo Sharingan could become his left and right hands in the future.
He had even picked up a Wood Release user for free.
Delivered right into his hands!
There was no reason for Rei to refuse a Wood Release ninja.
They would be a great asset for building his own forces.
As for Itachi Uchiha, Rei wasn't in a hurry to kill him!
The boy hadn't awakened his Mangekyo yet.
He could kill him after he awakened it.
He could earn another pair of Mangekyo Sharingan as profit.
These eyes would become his trophies.
Instead of becoming Sasuke Uchiha's chance to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
The forest fell silent once again, leaving only two survivors struggling for their lives.
Itachi Uchiha's face was gloomy. He didn't understand why Rei, clearly having the strength to kill him,
had instead let him go back to report to Danzo!
But the power Rei had displayed this time far exceeded his expectations.
Such power was unheard of. If he hadn't seen the three-tomoe Sharingan in Rei's eyes,
he would have even thought Rei was a terrifying figure who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Now, with a Mangekyo Sharingan wielder by Rei's side.
Perhaps, besides his older brother Shisui...
There was no one who could stop Rei.
After some thought, Itachi Uchiha made up his mind.
"I will return and report. I will inform Lord Danzo of everything that happened today."
The Root ninja didn't thank Itachi Uchiha for saving him.
He simply got up and headed towards the Root base.
Their mission this time had not only resulted in the loss of a Wood Release ninja.
But it had also allowed the Uchiha clan to gain a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan.
Such an outcome was unacceptable to them.
"Yes!"
Itachi Uchiha replied in a deep voice and followed behind.
His mind was constantly thinking about the abilities of Izumi Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan.
Only with sufficient information could he try to find a weakness in the ocular technique.
As for why Izumi Uchiha awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan because of him...
Did it even matter?
