Enhanced Ocular Power

Enhanced Ocular Power

The change in his state of mind brought Uchiha Jobu more than just a more solid presence. When he looked ahead, his vision had become clearer as well.

His eyes' ocular power was increasing!

That was it!

In the neighboring world of One Piece, there was a power called Haki. Only those who had truly recognized themselves, possessed the courage to forge ahead, and had the nerve to fear no danger could awaken the power known as "Haki."

The ninja world had no Haki, nor was it possible to awaken something like Conqueror's Haki.

Yet, in terms of power, some things were more or less connected. First came recognizing oneself. He had realized he had become full of himself, so he immediately corrected it. In ancient China, this was called seeing oneself.

Only after seeing oneself clearly could one see one's opponent more clearly.

Qian Rou did not know that Uchiha Jobu's ocular power had increased. She was still considering how she could defeat him.

She had already tried ordinary genjutsu. Both sides were Kekkei Genkai ninja with ocular techniques, and a genjutsu clash depended on whether one's ocular power could suppress the other's. If she could not overpower him completely, genjutsu was effectively useless.

As an ocular technique, the Blood Dragon Eye's basic ability was genjutsu. Unfortunately, her ocular power could not overwhelm the enemy, so the genjutsu she cast was only effective for that brief instant, its effect negligible.

"Lady Qian Rou! Our losses are too great. That Uchiha brat below is strange. The ninjutsu he uses is completely different in form from the same techniques used by other Uchiha Clan ninja."

"Yeah, and his ninjutsu can even turn on its own. That ability seems to belong only to Hagoromo Clan ninja. This is absurd!"

Qian Rou's expression changed drastically when she heard this. She looked toward her clansmen battling the Uchiha Clan and saw that a huge number had already been killed or wounded. Even the living bombs controlled by the Blood Dragon Eye had been blasted apart by the enemy's ninjutsu before they could serve their intended purpose.

That glance seemed to catch Izuna Uchiha's attention. Qian Rou discovered that the enemy had turned to look at her, his eyes filled with an utterly frigid killing intent.

Why did that look resemble one possessed by a butcher who had slaughtered for years?

Izuna Uchiha snorted. "Too slow. The efficiency is too poor. At this rate, it will take at least another half hour to end the battle completely."

The Hagoromo Clan elder beside him looked somewhat awkward. In order to effectively eliminate the living bombs sent by the enemy, four Hagoromo Clan members had already died in the explosions. Yet the Uchiha were still criticizing their combat efficiency.

An Uchiha Clan Jonin said, "Lord Izuna, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, we are not the clan head. We cannot ignore the enemy's ocular technique-controlled living bombs. Charging in directly would cause us enormous losses, so we can only use ninjutsu to kill the civilians and prisoners captured by the enemy first."

Izuna Uchiha naturally knew the truth of the matter, so he said nothing more. However, his sole Sharingan became increasingly eerie and inscrutable. Its scarlet gaze was especially terrifying, as though an evil ghost were whispering. The instant anyone met Izuna Uchiha's eyes, they felt as if they had been seen through from head to toe, and it was terrifying.

With the Dead Bone Pulse and Sharingan, Uchiha Jobu was temporarily able to make up for the gap in strength between himself and Qian Rou.

For close combat, there was no Kekkei Genkai more useful than the Dead Bone Pulse.

At a distance, the Uchiha Clan's ninjutsu was no weaker either. Moreover, the chests he had opened before had given Uchiha Jobu all five elemental attributes for ninjutsu. No matter the environment or enemy he faced, he had techniques he could use.

"Water Release! Water Formation Wall!"

A massive amount of clear water instantly gathered across the ground and rose into a wall over two meters wide and more than three meters high.

The water wall appeared and blocked the living bombs rushing toward him.

The flames from the explosions were savage and terrifying. When they collided with the wall formed from gathered water, they erupted into a great mass of white vapor. His vision was temporarily blocked once more, making it impossible to see what was happening on the other side.

"What quality of chest will I get from killing the enemy?"

The instant his vision was blocked, Uchiha Jobu let out a sigh of relief. He no longer had to look at the wall of people protecting the enemy, and he felt somewhat better. Otherwise, having explosive living bombs right before his eyes was indeed quite stressful.

The Chest System could not speak. It had probably not developed an intelligent mode, but that was fine. As long as its functions were unaffected, that was enough.

Killing Genin yielded wooden chests. Most contained ninja tools such as Kunai and Shuriken, while skill fragments appeared only rarely.

Killing Chunin yielded iron chests. In addition to basic ninja tools such as Kunai and Shuriken, they contained skill fragments and Kekkei Genkai fragments, and sometimes even complete ninjutsu skills.

Killing Special Jonin and Jonin produced bronze chests, which could contain complete ninjutsu skills, complete Kekkei Genkai, and other incredible things.

Of course, the best chest he had opened so far was only a bronze one.

Uchiha Jobu wondered whether killing the Chinoike Clan head would let him open a pair of crimson Blood Dragon Eyes from the chest.
