Chapter 46: Mangekyo Sharingan Dōjutsu: Tsukuyomi (Limited)!
Mangekyo Sharingan.
This is the ultimate Kekkei Genkai evolved from the Sharingan.
If a person possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan, they have the potential to contend with opponents of Hokage-level, easily becoming a top-tier ninja.
The Mangekyo Sharingan represents a qualitative leap in evolution; the genjutsu abilities of the Sharingan alone are greatly enhanced, allowing for the control of Tailed Beasts through genjutsu.
In addition to this, each Mangekyo Sharingan possesses a unique, wondrous dōjutsu, a power completely unimaginable to ordinary ninja… such as Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami!
If one possesses a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, they can even awaken even more powerful dōjutsu, such as the emerald green Susanoo that Uchiha Shisui once used!
Of course.
The Mangekyo Sharingan also has significant limitations.
Once the dōjutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan are used too frequently, the pupil power within will be depleted, and the Mangekyo Sharingan will become completely blind.
Unfortunately…
Akihara Kagura has only obtained one Mangekyo Sharingan so far. To gain more powerful dōjutsu, he must find a way to obtain the other eye.
The system is being a bit stingy.
Kakashi Hatake is a figure renowned throughout the entire ninja world!
In his past life, Kakashi Hatake was quite a popular character. Now, working for the esteemed Kakashi, the welcome gift only contained one Mangekyo Sharingan.
He had been loyal to Konoha, contributing to the village's future, yet this [Bonding Eye (Left)] trait was practically forcing him to defect to another master!
To obtain the [Bonding Eye (Right)] and complete the pair of Mangekyo Sharingan, he had to work for another master, but that other master was no good person!
Never mind.
This was all within his plan.
Akihara Kagura changed his clothes and equipment, attempting to sense any changes in his left eye to avoid detection of its abnormality.
Perhaps because the system rewarded him with a Kekkei Genkai possessed directly from within, rather than through external transplantation, Akihara Kagura could feel that his brain could switch between the Mangekyo Sharingan and his normal eye.
What wondrous dōjutsu does this left eye possess?
[System Prompt]: Awakening Mangekyo Sharingan dōjutsu based on the host's inner will… Dōjutsu awakening successful! [Bonding Eye (Left)] has been replaced with the new trait [Mangekyo Sharingan (Left)], congratulations to the host for obtaining the new skill [Tsukuyomi (Limited)]!
[Mangekyo Sharingan (Left): Possesses extremely strong observation, copying, and hypnosis abilities, enhances observation, strengthens the ability to cast and see through genjutsu, can copy taijutsu and non-Kekkei Genkai ninjutsu, and can even hypnotize Tailed Beasts. It has the built-in dōjutsu Tsukuyomi (Limited).]
[Tsukuyomi (Limited) (A dōjutsu existing within the Mangekyo Sharingan. When using Tsukuyomi (Limited) on an enemy, a brand new illusory world will be created based on the enemy's life and the host's will. The enemy's physical body will be pulled into the illusory world through space-time power. When the enemy cannot escape the fate of the illusory world or cannot defeat the host, their physical body will be forever lost in the illusory world.]
[System Prompt]: ① When using Tsukuyomi (Limited), the host requires at least SSS-rank or higher chakra! ② Excessive use of Tsukuyomi (Limited) will cause the Mangekyo Sharingan to go blind! ③ If the host obtains the [Bonding Eye (Right)] and awakens a new Mangekyo Sharingan, the power of Tsukuyomi (Limited) will be greatly enhanced!
"..."
I think I've seen this dōjutsu before!
But this doesn't seem like the dōjutsu I should have awakened!
Akihara Kagura felt that this dōjutsu had potential and could very well become his trump card. This dōjutsu was much faster at dealing with enemies than Wood Style.
Of course, the Wood Style Kekkei Genkai had also been strengthened due to Tenzo. Akihara Kagura felt that he could command Wood Style chakra with ease, without even the constraints of hand seals for jutsu, and could create new Wood Style ninjutsu based on his own ideas!
Now…
His purpose for reporting to the Anbu had been achieved. The welcome gifts from his two new superiors were quite fruitful.
It was time to proceed with the next step of his plan: to cause some trouble for that Mysterious Masked Man hiding in Konoha and make this future new boss come looking for him!
Coincidentally…
There was someone in this Anbu changing room who could cause trouble for the Mysterious Masked Man!
"Tenzo, that's your name, right?"
Akihara Kagura finished changing his clothes and his gaze fell upon Tenzo, who had kindly been guiding him. He asked, "Do you want to know why I was late this morning?"
"What reason?"
Tenzo looked curiously at the young man before him.
"Find a quiet place?"
Akihara Kagura raised an eyebrow and continued, "Or perhaps it would be better if we find a place to talk after the mission is completed."
"..."
Tenzo slowly looked towards Kakashi Hatake, casting a pleading gaze at his senior, as he had never been alone with Akihara Kagura before.
At this moment, Tenzo desperately needed Kakashi Hatake's help.
Akihara Kagura followed his gaze towards Kakashi Hatake and invited, "If Senior Kakashi has time, you can also come and be a referee. It's okay even if you favor Squad Leader Tenzo during the judgment."
"You guys go carry out the mission to protect Lord Hokage."
Kakashi Hatake waved the group of Anbu ninja out and instructed, "If there are any orders, come and tell me immediately. I'll deal with their issues first."
A group of Anbu ninja filed out.
Only the three of them remained in the entire Anbu locker room.
Akihara Kagura sat on a chair in the locker room and casually relayed a message: "Last night, someone secretly used Wood Style to kill Ryoma Aburame of Root and dumped his body at the Root base. Lord Danzō summoned me for questioning, and I admitted that I did it."
"..."
Tenzo's expression changed.
"You killed Senior Ryoma?"
A flicker of fear and unease flashed in Tenzo's eyes.
This brat...
He's trying to intimidate me!
"..."
Kakashi Hatake's expression also turned grim, as if recalling an unpleasant memory. "Killing your own comrade, is this what you wanted to tell us?"
"But..."
"It wasn't me who killed him."
Akihara Kagura stared intently at Tenzo, continuing with a straight face, "Someone used Wood Style to kill Ryoma Aburame and dumped his body at the Root base, framing me. It was to sow discord between Lord Danzō and me. Only you..."
"It wasn't me!"
Tenzo quickly shook his head, retorting, "I was on a mission last night. Everyone in the squad can vouch for me..."
"However, it wasn't me either."
Akihara Kagura looked at Tenzo, spreading his palms. "If I wanted to kill Ryoma Aburame, why would I even mention it? In fact, even if I killed him right in front of Lord Danzō, there wouldn't be much punishment..."
"Squad Leader Tenzo."
"In all of Konoha, or even the entire ninja world, only the two of us can use Wood Style Ninjutsu. Can you find anyone else with the Wood Style Bloodline?"
"..."
Tenzo felt speechless.
"Not necessarily."
Kakashi Hatake slightly raised his eyes and explained, "Orochimaru, an S-rank missing-nin from the village, the one who conducted human experiments on you, might have created new Wood Style users..."
"..."
Akihara Kagura was a bit lost for words.
I wanted to cause trouble for my new boss, not for you to go after my old boss!
"I'm curious about one thing."
Kakashi Hatake looked at Akihara Kagura and continued, "If you didn't kill Ryoma Aburame, why didn't you explain the so-called truth to Danzō Shimura?"
"If I had denied it, Lord Danzō would no longer trust me."
"Because the person who framed me by using this incident is precisely trying to sow discord between Lord Danzō and me, and it's highly likely that you guys did it."
Akihara Kagura looked back at Kakashi Hatake, his eyes fearless. "Admitting to killing Ryoma Aburame is just a trivial matter; losing Lord Danzō's trust is the truly significant matter for me."
Akihara Kagura looked at Tenzo and said, "Squad Leader Tenzo, I've already taken responsibility for this in front of Lord Danzō. I'll remember this debt for now."
"..."
Tenzo's face turned pale, feeling truly wronged.
This new subordinate, he's already thrown a black pot onto my head right after arriving!
Second update!
I feel like Limited Tsukuyomi is more fun, it'll be convenient for future trouble... I mean, for future help!
It's from that movie, Road to Ninja!
