Mangekyō Sharingan Eye Technique: Limited Tsukuyomi!

Mangekyō Sharingan.

This was the pinnacle Kekkei Genkai achieved after the Sharingan evolved.

If someone possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, they would have the potential to contend with opponents on the level of a Hokage and could easily become a top-tier ninja.

The Mangekyō Sharingan was an evolution that brought about a qualitative change. Its Genjutsu abilities alone were greatly enhanced, allowing its user to control Tailed Beasts with Genjutsu.

Furthermore, every Mangekyō Sharingan possessed a miraculous eye technique, a power utterly beyond the imagination of Regular Ninjas... such as Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami!

With a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, one could even awaken an even more powerful eye technique, such as the emerald-green Susanoo Uchiha Shisui had once used!

Of course.

The Mangekyō Sharingan also had severe limitations.

Once its eye techniques were used too often, the eye power within would be depleted, and the Mangekyō Sharingan would go completely blind.

Unfortunately...

Akihara Kagura had only obtained one Mangekyō Sharingan for the time being. If he wanted even greater eye technique power, he would have to find a way to obtain the other eye.

The system was being a little stingy.

Kakashi Hatake was a renowned figure throughout the entire ninja world!

In his previous life, Kakashi Hatake had even been a character known beyond the fandom. Yet now that he was going to work for Boss Kakashi, his employment gift pack only contained one Mangekyō Sharingan.

He had been utterly loyal to Konoha, contributing to the village's future, yet wasn't the trait of this Eye of Bonds (Left) practically forcing him to seek out another boss?

To obtain the Eye of Bonds (Right) and acquire a complete pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, he had to work for another boss—but that other boss was hardly a good person!

Forget it.

This was within his plans anyway.

As Akihara Kagura changed into his clothes and equipment, he tried to sense whether there had been any changes to his left eye, so as to avoid anyone noticing anything unusual about it.

Perhaps because the system's reward was a Kekkei Genkai that directly existed within his body rather than one acquired through an external transplant, Akihara Kagura could sense that his brain could control the switch between his Mangekyō Sharingan and a normal eye.

This left eye...

What miraculous eye technique did it possess?

System Prompt: Awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan eye technique according to the host's will... Eye technique awakening successful! Eye of Bonds (Left) has been replaced by the new trait Mangekyō Sharingan (Left). Congratulations, host, on obtaining the new skill Limited Tsukuyomi!

Mangekyō Sharingan (Left): Possesses extremely powerful abilities of observation, copying, hypnosis, and more. Enhances observation, enhances the ability to cast and see through Genjutsu, can copy taijutsu and non-Kekkei Genkai ninjutsu, and can even hypnotize Tailed Beasts. Contains the eye technique Limited Tsukuyomi.

System Prompt: ① When using Limited Tsukuyomi, the host must possess at least SSS-rank Chakra! ② Excessive use of Limited Tsukuyomi will cause the Mangekyō Sharingan to go blind! ③ If the host obtains the Eye of Bonds (Right) and awakens a new Mangekyō Sharingan, the power of Limited Tsukuyomi will be greatly enhanced!

"..."

I think I've seen this eye technique before!

But this doesn't seem like an eye technique I should have awakened!

Akihara Kagura felt that this eye technique had potential. It might well become one of his trump cards, and it was far quicker than Wood Style when it came to dealing with enemies.

Of course, the [Wood Style Kekkei Genkai] had also been strengthened because of Tenzo. Akihara Kagura felt as though he could control Wood Release Chakra as easily as moving his own arm. He was no longer constrained by hand seals when casting techniques and could completely create new Wood Style Ninjutsu through his own thoughts!

Now...

His purpose in reporting to the Anbu had already been achieved. The employment gift packs brought by his two new superiors had been quite rewarding.

It was time for the next step of his plan: cause a little trouble for the Mysterious Masked Man hiding in Konoha, so that his future new boss would come looking for him on his own!

As it happened...

There was someone in this Anbu changing room who could cause trouble for the Mysterious Masked Man!

"Tenzo, that's your name, right?"

After putting on his clothes, Akihara Kagura turned his gaze toward Tenzo, who had been kindly guiding him beside him, and said, "Want to know why I was late this morning?"

"What was the reason?"

Tenzo looked curiously at the youngster before him.

"Find somewhere quiet?"

Akihara Kagura raised a brow and continued, "Or perhaps it would be better to find a place and talk after we finish the mission."

"..."

Tenzo slowly looked toward Kakashi Hatake and cast a pleading look at his senior, because he had never been alone with Akihara Kagura before.

At this moment, Tenzo desperately needed Kakashi Hatake's help.

Following his gaze, Akihara Kagura looked at Kakashi Hatake and invited him, "If Senior Kakashi has time, you can come and serve as a judge too. It would be fine even if you favored Captain Tenzo during the judgment."

"You go carry out the mission of protecting Lord Hokage."

Kakashi Hatake waved a group of Anbu ninja away and instructed, "If there are any orders, come tell me immediately. I'll deal with their matter first."

A group of Anbu ninja filed out.

Only the three of them remained in the Anbu changing room.

Akihara Kagura sat in a chair in the changing room and casually revealed a piece of information. "Last night, someone secretly used Wood Style to kill Aburame Ryoma from Root and dumped him at Root's base. Lord Danzō summoned me for questioning, and I admitted that I had done it."

"..."

Tenzo's expression changed.

"You killed Senior Ryoma?"

A flicker of fear and unease passed through Tenzo's eyes.

This brat...

He was trying to intimidate him!

"..."

Kakashi Hatake's expression also turned somewhat grim, as though he had recalled something unpleasant. "Killing your own comrade—is that what you wanted to tell us?"

"But..."

"I didn't kill him."

Akihara Kagura stared intently at Tenzo and continued without changing expression, "Someone used Wood Style to kill Aburame Ryoma, threw him into Root's base, and framed me for it. To drive a wedge between Lord Danzō and me, there could only be you..."

"It wasn't me!"

Tenzo quickly shook his head and defended himself. "I was carrying out a mission last night. Everyone else in the squad can testify for me..."

"But it wasn't me either."

Akihara Kagura watched Tenzo and spread his palms. "If I wanted to kill Aburame Ryoma, there would have been no need to speak of it at all, would there? In truth, even if I killed him in front of Lord Danzō, there wouldn't be any punishment..."

"Captain Tenzo."

"In all of Konoha—or even the entire ninja world—only the two of us can use Wood Style Ninjutsu. Could there really be anyone else with a Wood Style Bloodline?"

"..."

Tenzo found himself unable to speak.

"Not necessarily."

Kakashi Hatake slightly raised his eyes and explained, "Orochimaru, the S-rank missing-nin from the village—the one who conducted human experiments on you—might not be incapable of creating new Wood Style Bloodline ninja..."

"..."

Akihara Kagura was momentarily at a loss for words.

I'm trying to cause trouble for my new boss, not have you cause trouble for my old boss!

"I'm curious about something."

Kakashi Hatake looked at Akihara Kagura and continued, "If you didn't kill Aburame Ryoma, why didn't you explain this so-called truth to Shimura Danzō?"

"If I denied it, Lord Danzō would no longer trust me."

"Because the person who used this matter to frame me was trying to drive a wedge between Lord Danzō and me in the first place, and there was a high chance that it was you people."

Akihara Kagura returned Kakashi Hatake's gaze without fear in his eyes. "Admitting to killing one Aburame Ryoma is merely an insignificant matter. Losing Lord Danzō's trust would be the truly serious matter for me."

Akihara Kagura looked at Tenzo and said, "Captain Tenzo, I have already taken responsibility for this matter before Lord Danzō. I'll put this debt on your tab for now."

"..."

Tenzo's face turned pale. He felt thoroughly wronged.

Why had this new subordinate dumped such a huge accusation on his head the moment he arrived?!

Second update!

I think Limited Tsukuyomi is pretty fun. It'll make it easier to mess around in the future... no, I mean, easier to help people in the future!

It's from that Ninja Road movie!
