Susanoo Without Eye Power Consumption

Over the next few days, the villains in the Tea Country's capital felt as if the sky had fallen. Aside from a few who had connections to the Land of Fire or Konoha, the rest were either arrested or killed.

Even quite a few capable rogue ninja were no exception. As long as it was confirmed that someone had committed a major crime in the capital, Uchiha Feng would personally lead Uchiha Mikio and the Guard Corps to gang up on them.

Under such circumstances, the capital's prisons were nearly packed to capacity.

Among these criminals, one chūnin, one genin, and two highly skilled samurai were captured alive and secretly sent to Feng's home.

Then, that very night, all four criminals vanished without a trace.

Uchiha Mikio, whose strength after being summoned through Impure World Reincarnation had only reached chūnin level due to the poor sacrifice, was reincarnated once more.

This time, with a genin as the sacrifice, Uchiha Mikio's strength after Impure World Reincarnation barely returned to its peak from when he was alive.

But when the infinite chakra and endless regeneration granted by Impure World Reincarnation were included, he even far surpassed his peak in life.

As for the remaining three criminals, they were naturally used to reincarnate the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, Rin Nohara, and Kushina Uzumaki.

The weakest among them, Rin Nohara, was immediately awakened after being reincarnated. Feng then immediately controlled her as the caster and arranged for her to perform an eye-removal operation on him.

First, he controlled Rin Nohara to remove Feng's One-Tomoe Sharingan, leaving him blind for a while.

Then, he immediately consumed the Copy Card that had copied Susanoo — Uchiha Fugaku Version, allowing Feng to successfully master Susanoo, the technique that let him pilot a giant mech.

After that, he had Rin Nohara put the Sharingan back in.

The entire process took only a day. For Rin Nohara, who had once transplanted a Sharingan for Kakashi, the surgery was not difficult. This was also the main reason Uchiha Feng had reincarnated Rin Nohara.

This seemingly absurd operation of putting himself through misery by removing and reinstalling his own eye had exploited a small bug in the Copy Card. By taking advantage of the fact that no eyes meant no eye power, he successfully turned Susanoo, which originally consumed tremendous amounts of eye power and chakra, into a divine technique that required only chakra.

In the end, the reincarnated Rin Nohara, who had completed Feng's operation, was not released. Instead, she was sealed away in a corner.

The reason was simple: he was afraid his information would leak.

After all, at this point in time, Orochimaru and Konoha's Root were already researching Impure World Reincarnation. Feng's digging up Rin Nohara's grave had not exactly been secret either, so Konoha would discover it sooner or later.

Under such circumstances, Feng might release Rin back to the Pure Land one moment, only for someone else to reincarnate her the next. Wouldn't that expose quite a few things about Feng to others?

After all, even if someone reincarnated through Impure World Reincarnation was completely controlled by the caster in their actions, they could still retain their consciousness and clearly know what they had done while under control.

Therefore, for his own safety, Feng could only make Rin Nohara suffer a little.

As for the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju and Kushina Uzumaki, they had merely been reincarnated and had not been awakened by Feng.

The reason for not awakening Kushina was that Feng did not currently need her to do anything. What he needed her help with would come later; for now, he was merely reserving her in advance, lest Konoha reincarnate her before he truly needed her.

Moreover, because the matter he needed Kushina's help with required considerable strength, the only chūnin prisoner under Feng's control was used as the sacrifice to reincarnate Kushina.

There was only one reason for not awakening Tobirama Senju: he was afraid of losing control.

After all, the original anime had already shown that Tobirama could break free of Impure World Reincarnation's control on his own.

Combined with Tobirama's prejudice against the Uchiha Clan, if Feng awakened reincarnated Tobirama, the man might greet him with a Flying Thunder God Slash the moment he opened his eyes.

That would be fucking hilarious—he would become the dumbest transmigrator ever.

In any case, Feng had reincarnated Tobirama Senju solely to copy the Flying Thunder God Technique from him.

As long as Tobirama's body was there and Feng could touch it, the Copy Card could copy the ninjutsu on him. There was no need to awaken him first.

Therefore, Feng had absolutely no need to risk losing control by awakening the reincarnated Tobirama Senju.

After copying Flying Thunder God Technique — Tobirama Senju Version, the three Copy Cards that Feng's mother on Blue Star had given him when he transmigrated were all used up.

They had copied the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu from the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Susanoo from Uchiha Fugaku, and the Flying Thunder God Technique from the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.

Among them, the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, which was not quite to his liking but had been Feng's best option, had long since been used and made into his own technique.

As for the Flying Thunder God Technique and Susanoo, which suited his preferences but were not the best options, Feng had only used the card that copied Susanoo and turned it into his own technique.

Even though he had copied Susanoo — Uchiha Fugaku Version, which had none of the various divine artifacts possessed by future Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo, and whose dark crimson color was not one Feng particularly liked.

It was still Susanoo. In this era, before the Fourth Shinobi World War when all sorts of overpowered abilities ran rampant, even a bare-bones Susanoo was one of the highest-level ninjutsu.

Of course, there was really no helping it. Itachi's Susanoo would not appear until the Uchiha Clan massacre was close at hand. Feng could not possibly wait around for that beast just for a stronger Susanoo.

Thus, for now and for a long time to come, Uchiha Fugaku's Susanoo would be the only Susanoo Feng could choose. After all, he did not even have an alternative.

Besides, Feng was not particularly interested in the so-called divine artifacts that came with Susanoo.

For example, the defensive Yata Mirror would be basically useless to him once he had the Flying Thunder God Technique.

As for the sealing Totsuka Blade, it would likewise be of little use if he planned to recruit Karin Uzumaki as his subordinate in the future.

Under such circumstances, he might as well enjoy the giant-mech bliss of Susanoo — Uchiha Fugaku Version as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Feng could not properly enjoy that bliss yet.

His chakra reserves were too low. At full chakra, he could currently only maintain the initial Susanoo form, consisting of nothing but arms and ribs, for five seconds.

Fortunately, Feng already had a solution in mind. He only needed to fully take control of the Tea Country's capital before properly addressing it.

As for the Flying Thunder God Technique, since it was the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju Version, Feng currently regarded it as a backup. He would only use it if copying the Flying Thunder God Technique from the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze failed in the future.

The reason was naturally that Tobirama Senju was not as skilled at using the Flying Thunder God Technique as Minato Namikaze, even though Tobirama had created it.

Anyone who had watched the anime knew that Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique was roughly equivalent to a teleport spell in League of Legends. It could provide rapid support, but it had a long windup and recovery.

Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique, however, was more like Flash—whoosh, whoosh, he vanished, with virtually no windup or recovery.

For now, Feng was still relatively safe and had no urgent need for the Flying Thunder God Technique. Naturally, he could wait a little longer and plan for something better.
