Best in Show: The Real Rap Master

"Dojutsu,"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sōgetsu seemed to sense something.

He lowered his head, his gaze falling upon the back of his hand, where a faint purple mark was clearly visible.

"Your body and mind, your chakra, your memories, your perception," the girl's eyes revealed a cruel expression. "I will take them away bit by bit, making you taste the most terrifying pain in this world, just as you treated me back then!"

One second. Two seconds. Three seconds.

However, after waiting for a long time, Uchiha Sōgetsu seemed to show no reaction.

The girl's confident expression gradually began to change.

"You can't control me, can you?"

Under the blood-red moonlight, Uchiha Sōgetsu's expression was calm and composed. "Question: Knowing that you can manipulate others' will, why would I specifically approach you?"

"Why. Why can't I control you?"

The girl was stung by his calm gaze, unable to believe it. She desperately activated her Mangekyo Dojutsu. "This is impossible. Yachihoko clearly marked you, why. Can't I control you!"

"The answer is simple, isn't it?"

Uchiha Sōgetsu adjusted his glasses and said, "Because I was deliberately guiding you to use this ability."

"Guiding. Me?"

Suddenly, the girl seemed to realize something, her face turning pale bit by bit. "You're influencing my emotions?"

It was only at this moment, after calming down, that she recalled everything that had happened and noticed something was wrong.

She had been consumed by anger, which had affected her reason and judgment.

"That's right, from the very beginning, I have been disturbing your mind."

Uchiha Sōgetsu smiled slightly, pushing his glasses up. "Sorry, my main profession is a psychologist, so unlike you ninjas, I don't have such powerful abilities. I can only play a few tricks."

From the very beginning, he had been setting up a plan.

Continuously stimulating the girl's mind with words and suggestions, thereby causing her judgment to be influenced by anger.

And once the girl's last shred of reason was completely devoured by anger, then everything that followed would simply be leveraging the advantages of the Spectator path, using words, actions, gazes, and other behaviors to make the girl fall into a series of psychological suggestions.

All her actions, decisions, and even thoughts were influenced by these psychological suggestions.

This was the combat style of the Spectator path.

"The battle is already over," Uchiha Sōgetsu added. "If you can undo Tsunade's control, perhaps we can talk."

"You wish!"

The girl stomped on the ground suddenly and charged forward. "You just managed to break through Yachihoko, don't forget you're still in my Tsukuyomi space. It's not certain who will win or lose!"

"Eh..."

Looking at the girl who refused to give up, Uchiha Sōgetsu sighed. "Didn't I already say it? The battle is over."

He slowly took out a talisman from the inner layer of his clothing.

Hiss!

The talisman burned quietly.

Instantly, an extremely evil and filthy sound entered the girl's ears.

That tearing howl was incredibly piercing!

"What. Is this?!"

The girl painfully covered her eyes, veins bulging on her delicate face.

The sound shrieked, howled, and roared, like countless red-hot steel needles piercing directly into the depths of her mind and churning violently!

"You mean this?"

Uchiha Sōgetsu dangled the talisman in his hand and chuckled. "I call it 'Filthy Babble.' You can think of it as the voice of a... madman."

Filthy Babble could make enemies hear terrifying roars, and even infect them with madness.

Produced by Real Rap Master, guaranteed quality!

The girl was in extreme pain, blood tears flowing from her eyes, veins and blood vessels bulging all over her body, like writhing worms and snakes, seemingly about to break free from her form, filled with evil, babbling roars that surpassed the limits of human endurance.

Crack!

The entire Tsukuyomi space, like a shattered mirror, was covered in countless cracks.

The next moment, the mirror shattered with a bang.

Looking at the girl who was so tormented she was unrecognizable, Uchiha Sōgetsu put away the 'Filthy Babble.' "Can we talk now that you've calmed down?"

"Do you know, what it feels like, to always. Always. Always be in the darkness?"

The Nameless Uchiha Girl revealed a hateful expression, covering her delicate face twisted by anger and resentment, reflected in those scarlet Mangekyo eyes. "Don't. Look at me with that sympathetic gaze! You don't understand me at all!"

Uchiha Sōgetsu remained silent, his pupils swirling.

Hypnosis!

The girl's eyes first showed confusion, then her thoughts became extremely muddled.

Uchiha Sōgetsu directly broke into her island of consciousness, delving deep into that dead, silent sea of her mind.

Fragments of the girl's memories flooded directly into his mind.

She had no parents, nor any friends.

No one to rely on, no one to hold onto. She lived like a mere tool, mechanically obeying those people's commands.

"Your birth is solely to continue the prosperity of our clan!"

"Nameless, with the resolve to die, eliminate our enemies for us!!"

"You don't need emotions!"

"Don't forget, Nameless, you are just a weapon for us. Strive to survive until the end on the battlefield!"

"With no family, you must unleash your full power for our Uchiha clan, do you understand!!"

Those voices echoed endlessly in her mind.

Pairs of cold Sharingan, like gazes fixed on a tool, commanded her without a shred of emotion, pushing her onto one bloody, cruel battlefield after another.

However.

Even though her emotions were forcibly erased, turning her into a tool to win victories for the Uchiha.

Her ultimate fate still couldn't escape being discarded by the Uchiha clan and sealed away underground in darkness.

Alone.

Suffering with resentment, sealed in endless darkness.

No sound, no light, only terrifyingly silent darkness. That despair, like a maggot gnawing at her bones, relentlessly devoured the girl's sanity.

Little by little, it dragged her down, plunging her into the abyss of destruction!

Why?

Could those ninjas who tormented her live carefree lives?

Why?

Did she have to bear all the pain and hatred?

Why?

Did no one want to help her?

It was as if everyone inherently loathed, scorned, and feared her.

Finally, in that boundless darkness, her spirit ravaged and tormented, in an abyss intertwined with hatred and rage, the Nameless Uchiha Girl became like a vengeful spirit.

Revenge was the only belief supporting her!

To destroy all the ninjas who had once inflicted pain and torment upon her, and even the entire Ninja World!

"Hoo."

Uchiha Sōgetsu rubbed his temples, feeling a sense of heaviness.

Just as the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, had once commented.

The Uchiha were born psychopaths, and also the clan with the most intense "love."

But this excessively strong love also hid the risk of losing control. Once an Uchiha experienced the loss of that intense "love," it would be replaced by an even stronger "hatred" than before, inevitably leading them down an extreme path.

"I lost."

The girl's eyes were hollow, devoid of any life as she said, "Now, you can seal me, or... kill me."

Only when the possibility of being killed was mentioned could a ripple appear in her vacant eyes.

Perhaps she wished for the other party to kill her.

"Nameless Uchiha, do you believe our encounter has meaning?"

Uchiha Sōgetsu took off his glasses, his calm gaze like a deep pool, rippling with intoxicating waves.

His profound pupils seemed to contain some special magic, gently soothing the girl's shattered heart.

At this moment, the Nameless Uchiha Girl felt a stir within her heart.

"I believe that encounters between people are brought about by fate."

Uchiha Sōgetsu slowly walked up to the girl and gently lifted her delicate face.

His gentle voice was magnetic, as if imbued with magic. "Just like our encounter. If we must find a reason, I think it might be destiny's guidance."
