Chapter 522: Without Them, I Wouldn't Watch the Oscars!
Chapter 522: Without Them, I Wouldn't Watch the Oscars!
"Eightfold Seals!"
Itachi's voice rang out as he activated the second stage of Susanoo, and a red seal appeared in his hand, which he then threw like a shuriken.
With a terrifying sound tearing through the air, this seal, as large as a car wheel, ripped through the purple skull with unstoppable force and struck Uchiha Fugaku.
What a filial son!
The seal, after shattering the first stage of Susanoo and Uchiha Fugaku, continued its momentum and drilled into the ground, leaving behind a massive crater.
"Capture Uchiha Itachi, the murderer of his clan!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately gave the order, also stating the crime.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
ANBU members rushed out, including a white-haired one and another with dead fish-like eyes.
Tonatiuh!
The latter was the Wood Style experiment and a junior of Kakashi, so he was assigned to lead them.
Kakashi and Tonatiuh!
This was a combination that could hold their own against even Shadow Rank Powerhouses, so the two of them charged at the forefront.
Kakashi's hands formed seals, and his right hand glowed with blue lightning, causing his entire body to surge forward at an incredible speed.
Was Chidori's greatest strength its piercing power?
No!
It was the lightning-infused state of his body that increased his speed exponentially, hence the need for the Sharingan to control it.
Without the Sharingan, it was still usable, but only in a straight-line charge, making precise control impossible.
Tonatiuh, on the other hand, came to an abrupt halt and began forming hand seals.
"Wood Style: Silent Assassination Binding Jutsu!"
His right arm transformed into a wooden vine that extended forward.
Zzzra!
Chidori pierced through Itachi's chest, but Kakashi remained vigilant.
Caw! Caw!
The sound of cawing crows filled the air as they flew out from Itachi's body.
Crow Clone Technique! Regardless of its strength, its exaggerated style was undeniable.
"Be careful!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's warning caused everyone to be on high alert, and they did not rush into action.
Harmony!
What a display of unity!
If these clan leaders truly attacked, breaking through the Crow Clone Technique would not be impossible.
However, they all followed Sarutobi Hiruzen's orders and remained on guard, which gave Itachi an opportunity.
An opportunity to escape! This scene even made the spectators want to comment.
"They are indeed excellent actors; without them, I wouldn't watch the Oscars this year!"
Tang Ping genuinely admired the acting skills of these clan leaders.
This was all unscripted and unplanned, yet they acted so naturally that it was awe-inspiring.
"By the way, what is Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan ability?"
Hyuga Cangyue ignored Tang Ping's comment and asked a question.
Indeed, Uchiha Fugaku was not dead.
Even though he seemed to have been instantly defeated by Itachi's 'Eightfold Seals'.
But they all felt that he was not that easily defeated.
He had already 'died' once before, and even the Mangekyou Sharingan couldn't see through it.
It wouldn't be strange if he 'died' again.
Moreover, if he were truly dead, he wouldn't have gone down so easily.
He didn't even show any signs of evasion, so there was only one conclusion.
It was intentional! After Itachi used his ultimate move, he had to retreat regardless of the outcome, which perfectly aligned with Uchiha Fugaku's intentions, so he endured the attack.
"One should be similar to the effects of Izanagi, and the other is that purple flame, which should be an attack targeting the soul or spirit!"
Tang Ping had an in-depth understanding of the Mangekyou Sharingan, and with the information and insights he possessed, he instantly guessed Uchiha Fugaku's two Mangekyou Sharingan abilities.
Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan abilities were not related to prophecy, unlike what netizens in the previous life had speculated.
One was the 'Revival Coin', and the other was an attack on the soul and spirit.
If it were not Itachi but the White Eye Wolf facing him, the opponent might have fallen into a disadvantage.
Especially the purple flame, which was extremely effective against the White Eye Wolf.
This was a continuous burning type of flame, and even if one could dodge it with Kamui, they would still be hit by the flame after Kamui's duration ended.
"I never expected that both of them would possess the Mangekyou Sharingan!"
Uchiha Meika exclaimed.
When it came to the Mangekyou Sharingan, no one could understand its power better than her, and the difficulty of obtaining it was unimaginable.
Not only did this person possess it, but so did his father and son, making one wonder if there was something special about their bloodline.
The previous pair of relatives with the Mangekyou were called Uchiha Sasuke and Yuzuya Quan.
"What if I tell you that more than two people in this family possess the Mangekyou Sharingan, what would you think?"
Tang Ping hinted at something.
Their bloodline was indeed formidable, not only did the father and his eldest son have the Mangekyou, but the younger son did as well.
"Uchiha Meichun... Sasuke?"
Uchiha Meika's first suspicion was Uchiha Meichun, the clan leader's wife who was once known as a 'genius'.
But considering that she was already dead and did not possess the Mangekyou, she could only be ruled out, leaving only the little brat.
Hiss! Both of them sucked in a breath of cold air simultaneously.
For three people in a family to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan was a terrifying tale.
"Indeed, this is a terrifying story, and there's an even scarier one after this!"
Tang Ping exclaimed.
He didn't enjoy being cryptic, quite the opposite, he despised it.
But when it came to the Second Pillar, he genuinely struggled to be explicit.
They were well aware of his personality; he only gave hints when the information and intelligence were not suitable for direct communication.
As they chatted, a figure emerged from a pit of unknown depth, with a dazed look and an astonishing aura.
Uchiha Fuyuki! The one who was just defeated.
Yes, he appeared again, and he was completely unharmed.
But Tang Ping was well aware that the opponent's Byakugan had consumed a significant amount.
Activating the Mangekyou Sharingan, even without consuming chakra, would deplete the Byakugan.
Moreover, the Byakugan of the Mangekyou Sharingan was only one-way; it could only be depleted and not replenished.
Once depleted, there was no way to recover, and losing the Byakugan would also mean losing one's sight.
This was the reason why the Mangekyou Sharingan was considered a curse.
What they didn't know was that both the White Zetsu cells and the First Hokage's cells could replenish the Byakugan.
If not for this, Uchiha Meika would have gone blind after using the Mangekyou Sharingan so many times.
Now, not only was she not blind, but her Byakugan was even more vibrant, thanks to the power of the First Hokage's cells and the White Zetsu cells.
However, Uchiha Fuyuki did not have such good fortune; his Byakugan was a consumable, and once it was used up, it would never recover, just like the Second Pillar in the original storyline.
From awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan to going blind took only a short time; if it weren't for the later transplant of Daidoshi's eyes, he might have become a blind man.
Uchiha Fuyuki, with his determination to fight to the death, naturally didn't care about going blind or the cost of his Byakugan.
How terrifying was a Uchiha with the Mangekyou Sharingan who didn't care about his safety?
The Sarutobi Clan was about to experience this firsthand.
Whoosh! The purple flames swept across, igniting a group of Sarutobi ninjas who had not yet fully retreated.
"Ahh!"
The shrill screams that seemed to come from hell echoed from the mouths of these ninjas.
It was common knowledge that ninjas had an incredibly high tolerance for pain.
Even when tortured, they could mostly endure without making a sound, truly living up to the 'tough guy' stereotype.
But now, these were pig-slaughtering screams, making it hard to believe they were ninjas.
However, knowing the effects of these purple flames, it made sense.
These purple flames, devoid of temperature, had no effect on flesh and blood, not even a hint of warmth.
But once the target had a soul, that soul would be ignited.
Burning the soul was the ultimate terrifying punishment, and no one could withstand it.
At the very least, it wasn't something ordinary ninjas could endure.
"These flames target the soul; everyone, retreat!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted.
As a ninjutsu expert, he naturally understood the horror of these purple flames.
Uchiha Fuyuki didn't intend to go on a killing spree; instead, he started a game of 'hide-and-seek'.
After all, the longer he dragged it out, the more time he would buy for his clan to escape, so he naturally wouldn't confront them head-on.
A unique game of 'hide-and-seek' began.
