Naruto: God-Level System

"Shin, be careful! He is a famous powerhouse of the Uchiha Clan," Mikoto shouted, her voice laced with worry.

She had been too shocked to register his appearance just a moment ago, but now that she saw him clearly, Mikoto was startled; she was well aware of the reputation of this particular Uchiha elite.

Uchiha Akito's strength was among the very best within the Uchiha Clan, and Mikoto had never expected the clan to dispatch such a formidable expert to deal with them.

Although she had known of Shin's immense strength over the past six months, it was impossible for her not to worry when facing such a renowned powerhouse.

"Rest assured! If I truly wanted to kill him, it would be over in an instant."

Hyuga Shin offered these words to soothe the worried Mikoto.

He spoke the truth; finishing off an elite jonin who knew nothing of his capabilities was a trivial matter.

Hyuga Shin was confident he could even ambush and kill a Kage-level powerhouse, let alone an elite jonin.

"This is the first time I've truly displayed my strength in front of others. I hope you can satisfy me."

"Light Speed Kick!"

Hyuga Shin's lower leg transformed into photons, and with a kick delivered at the speed of light, a thick, golden flash struck Uchiha Akito directly.

"BOOM!"

Following a thunderous explosion, Uchiha Akito was sent flying for hundreds of meters, snapping countless trees in his wake.

The Light Speed Kick was too fast; Uchiha Akito had only sensed the danger and instinctively moved to protect himself with all his might, yet he still ended up heavily wounded and collapsed on the ground.

"As expected of an attack capable of destroying an island in one blow. If I had used my full power, there wouldn't even be bones left of this guy!" Hyuga Shin clicked his tongue. This was his first time seeing the practical effects in combat, and he hadn't even used his full strength.

Compared to the Goro Goro no Mi, the Glint-Glint Fruit had a slight flaw in terms of speed—it could only travel in straight lines and was difficult to maneuver, which made it inferior to the Goro Goro no Mi's ability to teleport infinitely.

However, in terms of raw attack power, it was absolutely on par; the two fruits were essentially evenly matched.

Although Hyuga Shin possessed space-time abilities that compensated for this flaw in the Glint-Glint Fruit, he still coveted the teleportation capabilities of the Goro Goro no Mi.

Yet, both fruits shared a common nemesis: the Yami Yami no Mi.

It was not without reason that the Yami Yami no Mi was considered the most dangerous Devil Fruit; its gravity was the enemy of all things in the universe, and even light could not escape its pull.

Hyuga Shin had little interest in this fruit, which was dubbed the nemesis of all Devil Fruits. With his Tenseigan, he truly had no need for the Yami Yami no Mi.

Returning to the matter at hand, this Light Speed Kick from Hyuga Shin had effectively crippled Uchiha Akito.

Though he wasn't dead, in Hyuga Shin's eyes, he had already lost all combat capability.

"Shin, you're so strong!" Mikoto murmured.

While she felt happy for Hyuga Shin, she also felt a sudden surge of inferiority.

With a Shin this powerful, am I truly worthy of standing by his side? Mikoto asked herself in her heart.

Then, she steeled her resolve; she would definitely train twice as hard from now on. Even if she couldn't keep pace with Shin, she would not allow herself to fall too far behind.

"Mikoto, wait here for me. I'm going to go take a look," Hyuga Shin said softly.

He was about to kill a man, and he did not want Mikoto to witness it.

Mikoto nodded silently in obedience, then whispered, "Be careful, and please, don't get hurt."

"Don't worry!" Hyuga Shin chuckled, then transformed into a beam of light, appearing before Uchiha Akito in the blink of an eye.

For short-range movement, the Glint-Glint Fruit was even more useful than space-time abilities.

"I never expected a brat like you to possess such formidable strength."

"You talk too much. Shigan: Light Bullet!"

Hyuga Shin extended his ten fingers, releasing a barrage of light bullets similar to the capabilities of the Shikotsumyaku.

Unable to move, Uchiha Akito's body was riddled with holes, leaving dozens of bleeding wounds.

"Ahhh~~!" Uchiha Akito screamed in agony.

Hyuga Shin's attacks had deliberately avoided his vital organs, so Uchiha Akito was not dead yet, though he was not far from it. Even if Hyuga Shin turned and walked away now, the blood loss alone would be enough to kill him.

"Trying to torture me to extract information? Don't even think about it." With cold sweat covering his forehead, Uchiha Akito looked at Hyuga Shin with a mocking gaze, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan spinning frantically.

"Still trying to resist? A futile struggle." Looking directly into the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Hyuga Shin's expression remained unchanged.

"The vast majority of genjutsu are ineffective against me. You should just give up," Hyuga Shin said calmly, watching Uchiha Akito struggle in his final moments.

For a genjutsu to actually affect Hyuga Shin, it would at least need to be on the level of Tsukuyomi.

Chapter 32: Demonic Illusion: Terror Reincarnation, Mangekyo Sharingan

"Just kill me!"

Uchiha Akito had resigned himself to his fate; since he couldn't do anything to Hyuga Shin, he might as well seek death.

"Wanting to die? It's not that easy. I intended to use you to hone my combat skills, but I'm very disappointed that you're such trash."

"If you were to die so worthless, wouldn't that be a pity?"

Hyuga Shin's expression was icy, his eyes, as dazzling as the stars, filled with chilling coldness.

"Your Uchiha Clan excels in genjutsu and Fire Style. Now, have a taste of the genjutsu I've created: Demonic Illusion: Terror Reincarnation!"

In an instant, Uchiha Akito found himself in another space, his injuries fully restored, though his strength was gone.

Uchiha Akito's expression turned grim as he realized he had fallen into a genjutsu, yet he could not sense the presence of his chakra, making it impossible to disrupt his flow to break free from the illusion.

"Could this be a genjutsu cast by a dojutsu?" Just as Uchiha Akito was lost in doubt, a figure approached from behind him.

Uchiha Akito felt a chill run through his body and hurriedly turned his head, only to see a floating head with white, pupilless eyes and a terrifying, twisted expression staring at him with malice.

"Hehehe."

"Ah~~ what kind of monster is this?"

Having seen his fair share of life and death, Uchiha Akito was genuinely terrified; he had never encountered anything so horrifying in his life.

"This is merely an appetizer, and you already can't handle it? The true Terror Reincarnation has only just begun." A venomous voice emanated from the floating head.

The scenes continued to shift, with every horror movie Hyuga Shin had ever watched manifesting here one by one; each scenario consisted of ten cycles before transitioning to the next.

Every story ended with the death of Uchiha Akito, forcing him to experience every conceivable way to die.

Uchiha Akito had no idea how much time had passed within the illusion, but in the outside world, only a single second had elapsed.
