With Xuanye's help, Uchiha Hikari's Sharingan had completed the final step of its fusion and evolved into the Eternal Mangekyō.
Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Kagutsuchi, and the other underwhelming ocular techniques had all become fuel, pushing Yachihoko to a new level.
Hikari had no regrets. If anything, she felt she had come out ahead.
Yachihoko was far more powerful now than it had been before the evolution!
Hikari's Mangekyō had involved far more than the fusion of two pairs of eyes. Back in the Warring States Period, the Uchiha Family had spared no expense to create this ultimate weapon, drawing on every Mangekyō it had in reserve.
Unfortunately, the bloodlines had not been close enough for an Eternal Mangekyō to emerge. The fusion had stalled at the final step.
After Xuanye helped Hikari complete that step, he could sense that her ocular power far surpassed his own before he had awakened the Rinnegan!
Unfortunately, greater ocular power alone could not bring about a fundamental change in the Mangekyō. Hikari would need some other opportunity to awaken the Rinnegan.
Back to the matter at hand. A ninja was not completely helpless without Chakra. After all, there were ninja like Guy who relied almost entirely on Taijutsu.
The bad news was that neither Deidara nor Biwa Juzo was that kind of ninja.
Neither had much strength of will, either. One was a brat fresh out of his home who had no idea how dangerous the world was. The other was a rogue ninja whom Might Duy and Uchiha Genya had frightened into fleeing in disgrace on two separate occasions.
So Hikari took both of them down with a single glance.
Yachihoko did not have the range of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, which could cover the entire Ninja World. Though it could use moonlight to place
