He paused, his gaze sweeping over Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan, bloodshot with overwhelming rage and humiliation.
Over the clansmen who instinctively shielded their eyes even as they knelt.
Over Itachi, barely breathing at the edge of the crater, his dignity trampled underfoot, and over the blond boy at the edge of the crowd-Naruto, frozen in shock and trembling all over.
"Hand over your eyes."
"Or-"
Behind Liuyu, the tips of the reishi light swords dipped slightly in unison.
They locked onto several Uchiha elites whose chakra fluctuations were strongest and whose will to resist was most obvious.
"Die."
The word fell lightly.
Yet it struck every Uchiha clansman's heart like the heaviest funeral bell.
"You bastard!!!" Fugaku finally snapped, his reason overwhelmed by rage and his desperate determination to protect his clan.
He could accept being killed by his own son, but he could not tolerate what this "rogue ninja" was doing.
He roared, the Mangekyō patterns in his eyes spinning furiously to their limit.
Terrifying ocular power surged skyward, mingled with chakra! "Tsukuyomi-I'll drag you into eternal hell, you Uchiha traitor! You demon!!!"
He fixed his eyes on Liuyu atop the torii, attempting to activate the ocular technique reputed to be the strongest mental attack.
To drag his opponent's consciousness into an illusion world under his control and subject him to endless torment!
Yet all he "saw" were Liuyu's calm, unruffled violet eyes.
And the right hand Liuyu casually raised.
He extended his index finger and pointed lightly at Fugaku.
"Bakudō #61: Rikujōkōrō."
Hummm!!!
Six dazzling golden blades of reiatsu appeared out of thin air around Fugaku.
They crossed and closed in an instant, pinning his entire body in place like the strongest shackles.
The sheer intensity of that reiatsu was enough to inspire despair.
Never mind activating Tsukuyomi-even moving
