Dojutsu: Yachihoko

"Game?"

Hearing this, the Nameless Uchiha Girl's eyes showed intense hatred. "Do you think all of this... everything I have... is a game?!"

Uchiha Sōgetsu's seemingly 'careless' words struck a nerve with the girl.

Extreme anger and hatred intertwined, burning like a raging fire, continuously tormenting the girl's already broken heart.

The girl's inner world was already riddled with holes, shattered beyond repair.

"I mean..."

Uchiha Sōgetsu's words were cut off before he could finish.

Tiger-Rabbit-Dog!

Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere!

The girl formed hand seals at an incredible speed, too fast even for the Sharingan to follow.

Almost instantaneously, a pellet of condensed chakra was spat from the girl's mouth, leaving trails of vacuum-like trajectories in the air.

At such close range, Uchiha Sōgetsu could only narrowly avoid fatal injury.

Puff, puff, puff!

His left shoulder, right abdomen, and calf were pierced by the chakra pellets, leaving thumb-sized holes.

However, this heavy price allowed Uchiha Sōgetsu to close the distance to the girl. His fist, covered in fine dragon scales, gathered chakra at a single point and struck.

Although it was merely a crude imitation compared to Tsunade's orthodox Monster Strength Fist, its destructive power was undeniable.

BOOM!

A sound like steel colliding tore through the air.

The shockwave from the collision of the two chakras sent debris flying for dozens of meters, and deep fissures spread out from beneath their feet.

Blood-red chakra condensed around the girl, forming a shape that looked almost tangible, like human skeletal structures.

Upon awakening the Mangekyo, the Sharingan, under extreme emotion, would unleash the Uchiha Clan's ultimate secret technique: Susanoo!

"Susanoo, huh?" Seeing the layer of bloody bone, Uchiha Sōgetsu wasn't surprised at all.

"Shut up!"

The girl's hatred fueled the Susanoo's growth. Its skeletal arm swept towards him.

BANG!

Large swathes of rubble were crushed by the Susanoo.

Uchiha Sōgetsu, who had leaped into the air, dodged the sweeping attack. He looked at the massive palm print in the ruins below and mused that it was no wonder it was called the 'God of Destruction.' Even the initial form of Susanoo possessed a destructive power that no Jonin could contend with.

Excellent defense, formidable destructive power.

From these two aspects alone, Susanoo could be considered a perfect ninjutsu, combining offense and defense.

Especially for Uchiha Sōgetsu, with his current abilities, there was almost no ninjutsu that could break through Susanoo's defense.

"The Spectator Pathway is too weak in the early stages," Uchiha Sōgetsu said, having created some distance. Facing the current situation, he couldn't help but feel a bit troubled, his brow furrowed. "It seems that to decide the victor, I'll have to close the distance and use that thing."

While he was lost in thought, the Nameless Uchiha Girl clenched her fists, her chakra boiling.

"Aaaah!!!"

Driven by hatred, the Susanoo grew further.

From merely possessing skeletal parts, it transformed into a complete humanoid form, as if mirroring the girl's pained heart, its limbs braced on the ground like a beast.

The blood-red chakra exuded an unparalleled evil aura.

ROAR!!!

With a furious roar, the beast-like Susanoo gathered violent chakra in its mouth.

"Now's my chance!"

Uchiha Sōgetsu noticed this and, instead of retreating, charged forward.

"Die!!!"

BOOM!

The constantly compressed chakra erupted like a cannonball.

It struck the air, even creating a brief vacuum around Uchiha Sōgetsu.

The terrifying roar triggered thunder, and the blood-red chakra stained the void. After a moment of visual blindness, world-ending energy was unleashed, tearing through the air like a torrent of light, carrying rolling gusts of wind, and carving a vacuum channel through the atmosphere!

Mid-air, Uchiha Sōgetsu had no room to dodge and was engulfed by the blood-red torrent.

RUMBLE...

Dust and smoke obscured the sky. The forest was directly gouged into a ravine, and ancient trees burned.

Scorching hot air permeated the area. The beast-like Susanoo let out a skyward roar, its burning blood-red chakra seeming to vent the girl's endless rage.

The Susanoo slowly dissipated. The girl swayed as if drained of all strength, weak and nearly falling to the ground.

"No, it's not over yet."

Her hatred had not diminished in the slightest. "Uchiha ninja. I will destroy everything!"

But, just then.

A calm voice appeared behind the girl.

"It took me quite some effort to get close to you."

The girl's pupils constricted, and she whipped her head around. She saw Uchiha Sōgetsu standing there, completely unharmed, and was stunned. "Impossible! I definitely hit you!"

It wasn't a genjutsu!

It certainly couldn't be a Substitution Technique!

Before her Mangekyo Sharingan, every one of this boy's movements was crystal clear!

"To get close to you, I had to use up an important life-saving item," Uchiha Sōgetsu said.

The reason he could appear here intact was because he had used the 'Moon Paper Figure,' an item that could take one fatal blow for its user.

"While anger can make the Susanoo grow, your actions are merely an meaningless release of rage," Uchiha Sōgetsu continued. "Although your hatred is commendable, your chakra should be insufficient to use it a second time, right?"

He had precisely targeted this point, which is why he was willing to use the Moon Paper Figure just to get close to the girl.

"You, are not worthy, to lecture me!!!"

Faced with Uchiha Sōgetsu's repeated, taunting words that continuously stimulated her fragile nerves, she finally lost control.

The girl's hatred reached its peak, and the chakra that erupted from her was like a fiercely burning flame. "You think you can defeat me without the Susanoo?!"

Tsukuyomi!

Her Mangekyo Sharingan, reflecting her hatred, unleashed its unique Dojutsu.

In an instant, Uchiha Sōgetsu was dragged, without any resistance, into the mental world created by the girl.

Under a blood-red sky, rain fell softly.

A full moon hung high, countless corpses piled into mountains, and scattered weapons looked like a forest of blades from afar.

"I will make you taste extreme pain!"

The girl stood barefoot on the peak of the corpse mountain, her black hair flying wildly. The Mangekyo Sharingan, with its rapidly spinning pinwheels, was reflected in the full moon in the sky. "Let me show you another ability of my Mangekyo, a power feared by the Uchiha Clan!"

Hummm.

The full moon hanging in the blood-red sky reflected the pinwheel-like Mangekyo.

Instantly, an eerie purple moonlight poured down like a celestial river, the surging moonlight flowing like mercury, spreading to every corner of the Tsukuyomi space.

Uchiha Sōgetsu could not escape either, being illuminated by the purple moonlight.

"This is my Dojutsu—Yachihoko!"

The girl clenched her delicate fingers, her gaze icy. "All targets touched by my chakra will be branded with the 'Yachihoko' mark, and those who bear the mark will be under my complete control."

"So that's how it is," Uchiha Sōgetsu revealed a hint of understanding. "When Tsunade repaired the seal, she came into contact with your chakra, and you took the opportunity to use your Dojutsu to place the mark on her, didn't you?"

"That's right, but don't worry."

The girl let out a cold laugh. "Soon, you will be like that woman, completely under my control!"
