Chapter 480: Konoha Illusion: The Will of Fire!
Chapter 480: Konoha Illusion: The Will of Fire!
Minato River!
Although it was still within the boundaries of Konoha, it was far from the village buildings and considered to be Uchiha territory.
Konoha was initially established on Uchiha clan land, which was why the Minakagawa Shrine and this area still belonged to the Uchiha clan.
A slender figure, dressed in Shadow Division attire and wearing a fox mask, leaned against a stone in a small grove next to the Minakagawa waterfall.
"Why hasn't Shizuru arrived yet?"
This figure, dressed in Shadow Division attire, was naturally the filial son who had refused to participate in today's gathering with his father.
Uchiha Itachi!
He had arranged to meet Shizuru here.
However, the appointed time had already passed, making him somewhat anxious.
Rustle, rustle!
Several leaves suddenly fell from the tree.
"Is that you, Shizuru?"
Itachi lifted his mask, revealing his mature-looking face beneath his frown lines, and looked up at the tree.
Whoosh! A figure jumped down from above and landed beside him.
It was none other than Uchiha Shizuru.
But his condition was terrible.
His left eye was hollow, stained with blood, and his body was covered in wounds.
"Shizuru, you..."
Seeing Shizuru, whom he regarded as his older brother, in this state, Itachi instantly felt a sense of panic.
"Itachi, the Uchiha coup d'etat can no longer be stopped. Once the village falls into chaos, other ninja villages will surely invade, leading to war!"
"I originally planned to use Alter Heaven to stop the rebellion, but I never expected to be ambushed by Danzo!"
"He never truly trusted me. He only wanted to protect Konoha in his own way, so he has treated my eyes as weapons to safeguard Konoha!"
"Now, I intend to entrust my remaining eye to you!"
"I hope you can protect the village and uphold the Uchiha's honor!"
...
As they spoke, the two walked to the side of the small grove, away from the waterfall.
Not far away, in the grove, three figures were already waiting.
"Tsk, tsk. With the right BGM, this scene would be incredibly touching. What a precious display of brotherly love!"
Dong Ping's eyes sparkled as he gazed at the scene several dozen meters away.
He had set up a Concealment Barrier here, ensuring they wouldn't be discovered, while also allowing them to hear each other's words.
"What the heck is that?"
Hyuga Cangyue turned to look at Dong Ping.
He was always curious about Dong Ping's occasional use of unique terms like 'blowing away', 'top-ranked big brother', and 'show-off like the wind', and now he had heard another new term, so he naturally wanted to inquire.
"Ahem!" Dong Ping dropped the act, "Just like the song 'Unreachable Love' I helped Kakashi and the others create, if a melancholy tune were played during this brotherly farewell, wouldn't it be incredibly moving?"
In the past, Dong Ping had always been extremely cautious about using new terms that only time-travelers knew, but now that he was the big boss of the Skyguard Tower, he didn't need to hide it, so new terms had started to appear more frequently.
"...You're right," Hyuga Cangyue thought about Dong Ping's description and agreed that it was indeed very moving.
The cawing of a crow rang out.
Caw, caw!
A pitch-black crow descended from the sky, likely the same summoned beast that concealed the Mangekyo Sharingan in the original plot.
"Here it comes!"
Uchiha Yai's eyes suddenly transformed into the Mangekyo Sharingan.
After such a long time, with Asura Cells and White Death Cells in her possession, her eye power had been fully restored, returning her to her peak condition.
So, she would be the key player in what was about to happen.
A crow!
This crow had to be intercepted.
Since it was a summoned beast, it was necessary to block it to prevent it from disappearing once the summoning was released.
That's when the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan ability would come into play.
Lights out!
Just grab it and go.
After all, Uchiha Itachi wouldn't possibly know the detailed information about this ability, so there was no fear of being recognized.
Similarly, the other party would never reveal this ability.
After all, doing so would involve explaining why Shizuru entrusted the Mangekyo Sharingan to him, which would implicate the village's higher-ups, including Danzo, and could directly trigger a civil war.
Indeed, Itachi, who valued the village above all else and thought with the 'Hokage mindset', would never reveal this secret, even if it meant shouldering the suspicion himself.
Dong Ping, who had anticipated this, dared to snatch it from him.
Moreover, this might be the only chance.
With the filial son's intelligence, missing this opportunity would likely mean there would never be another chance to seize it.
However, there was no rush for now; they would wait for Zhi Shui to hand over the eye to the crow.
At that moment, the two by the waterfall were completely unaware that someone was watching them, still performing their final farewell.
Regarding this situation, Dong Ping not only didn't empathize but also felt like laughing as he looked at his fiancee with a sigh.
"You Uchiha are all like 'Dragons and Phoenixes,' it's hard to imagine you not causing trouble!"
He genuinely felt sorry for the Uchiha clan.
The family, aside from being a bit arrogant, didn't really have any major flaws. However, due to their tendency to produce eccentric individuals, they had driven the clan into a pit, which was truly unprecedented.
"Hmph, from now on, the Uchiha will only have the Heavenguard Tower lineage!"
Upon hearing the teasing, Uchiha Yai directly disowned the several Uchiha branches in Konoha.
She felt ashamed to be associated with them!
That was exactly how she felt.
It was one thing to have always been loyal to the Hokage faction, but now they were preparing for a rebellion, yet they were acting like children.
They gathered and discussed every day, as if afraid that the higher-ups wouldn't know.
Moreover, with the clan's geniuses all siding with the Hokage faction, how could she possibly look up to them? She felt that having the same surname, Uchiha, was a disgrace.
"It's not their fault, it's because Sarutobi Hiruzen's Illusion Techniques are too powerful!"
Dong Ping spoke up in defense of the Uchiha on the Konoha side.
He genuinely believed so.
"Illusion Techniques?"
Hyuga Cangyue pondered for a moment and realized that she hadn't heard of Sarutobi Hiruzen being skilled in Illusion Techniques.
As a master of Ninjutsu, he would certainly know Illusion Techniques, but being proficient in them was another matter.
"That's right, take a look at Konoha's strongest Illusion Technique, 'Fire Will'!"
Dong Ping, in the midst of his jest, spoke the truth.
Fire Will was a mind-controlling Illusion Technique, and it was through this mind-controlling effect that those affected by it would side with the Hokage faction.
Because in their propaganda, the Hokage faction represented the Fire Will.
In the Shinobi World, while physical training was important, mental strengthening was also crucial. Having one's own will and ideals could make a ninja stronger.
After all, the number of geniuses who believed in the Fire Will was not surprising, given the connection between Chakra and mental will.
Of course, Dong Ping didn't mention that the future's strongest Illusion Technique would be the 'Word Bind' of the Prince, which could even redeem the Byakugan Wolf and Nagato.
It was simply disgusting! Dong Ping was extremely displeased with both the Fire Will and the Word Bind.
The former was all talk and no action, used solely to deceive and exploit the loyalty of pure-hearted ninjas.
As for the latter, you open the Six Paths' Lazy You Bastard, and then pretend!
Yes, Dong Ping believed that the Prince's Word Bind was so exaggerated because the Six Paths had helped him open it.
Otherwise, how could Nagato, after being darkened for so many years, be redeemed by a single verbal barrage and use his final life to revive the hundreds of thousands of deceased in Konoha, practically throwing away his dignity?
"Fire Will... I see, no wonder you wanted to promote the 'Blazing Sun Will' in the Heavenguard Tower!"
Hyuga Cangyue was initially puzzled but quickly understood. Fire Will was indeed a mind-controlling tool, and it could be considered an Illusion Technique. The Blazing Sun Will, on the other hand, was their own mind-controlling tool.
"Move!"
Dong Ping, despite appearing to be chatting, had been keeping an eye on the crow from a distance of several dozen meters. As soon as he saw the crow swallow the eye from Zhi Shui's hand, he immediately gave the order.
"Eternal Heaven!"
Uchiha Yai's left eye suddenly glowed.
The surrounding area suddenly plunged into darkness.
"Who!"
Uchiha You was the first to sense something amiss and drew his sword with a shout.
However, it was Zhi Shui, having lost both eyes, who didn't notice the darkness.
Whoosh!
At that moment, the crow, which should have turned into scattered feathers, abruptly flew towards the forest behind them.
"Damn it!" 2
Hearing the sound of breaking through the air, both the Great Filial Piety and Zhi Shui had the same thought in their minds, as they were well aware that the Sharingan was in the crow.
"Dispel!"
Uchiha You quickly formed hand seals to dispel the Summoned Beast.
But to his surprise, the Summoned Beast didn't disappear.
Under the Eternal Heaven, entry and exit were prohibited.
In the forest.
Puff!
Hyuga Cangyue formed her fingers into claws, and with her semi-transparent Chakra wrapping around them, her hand claws became like divine weapons, tearing open the crow's belly and retrieving the eye it had just swallowed.
With the Reincarnation Eye, it was impossible to hide this Sharingan.
After obtaining the item, Uchiha Yai dispelled the Sharingan, and the three of them instantly left the area.
The entire process was as swift as lightning.
Soon, the waterfall area returned to its previous tranquility.
