Chapter 24:Chapter 24

 At this moment, Fugaku arrived and stood in front of Itachi

. "Father…"

Looking at Fugaku's back, Itachi's heart suddenly trembled. For the first time, he felt he was wrong.

"Family…"

"Boom!"

The spiral shuriken exploded, instantly enveloping the surrounding dozens of meters. Under this level of attack, countless houses were turned into pieces. However, Kaito, despite the devastation, felt no joy. Instead, he was solemn.

"Fugaku actually saw through my attack?"

Kaito was surprised. Kaito's ability to control the mirror space allowed him to replace the small space where Itachi was located with the space in front of the spiral shuriken. As a result, Itachi, who had already fled, appeared in front of the spiral shuriken instantly.

Itachi, who had already evaded the attack, materialized instantly in front of the spiral shuriken. However, the technique used by Kaito used, required varying amounts of chakra and pupil power depending on the selected person.

At the kage level, Kaito employed 'God's Presence' over twenty times, utilizing both his chakra and ocular strength..

But Fugaku saw through it. "No, it's not just seeing through! He is foreseeing the future!" Kaito realized. He recalled a scene from the original work where Fugaku revealed the reactions of the Uchiha clan to an alternate future, one where he displayed the Mangekyo.

In this vision, the Uchiha became power-hungry, kidnapping Naruto and unleashing the Nine Tails on the village to assert control over it.

Fugaku's Mangekyo could roughly predict the future.

"Observing the present circumstances, does the other aspect involve precise foresight into the future?!"

Kaito mumbled to himself. His hunch was on target; Fugaku's Mangekyo Sharingan abilities encompassed both aspects. The powers Uchiha wielder gained were influenced by their emotions at that particular moment.

For instance, before the system manifested, Kaito focus was on either seizing control during the night of the extermination or finding an escape with Uchiha , leading to the acquisition of 'God's presence' and the 'mirror space.'

Upon opening his eyes, Fugaku witnessed the Uchiha clan and Konoha locked in their most intense conflict during the third battle against the Mist Ninja Village.

This clash resulted in the tragic demise of many skilled Uchiha members and the loss of Fugaku's close friends. Driven by an ardent longing to foresee the Uchiha's future, Fugaku was gifted with a pair of Mangekyo Sharingun.

The attack of the spiral shuriken slowly ended, and the dust it caused was gradually dissipating.

The Third Hokage watched nervously not wanting to lose two powerful allies!

Kaito remained impassive, sensing a familiar presence in the field.

Fugaku, who is deeply hidden and completely mastered Mangekyō Sharingan would be tricky to deal with!

"However, such an excellent pair of Mangekyō Sharingan can't be wasted on you, so I will take it from you!"

After a while, the smoke gradually dissipated, and then everyone saw a black Susanoo standing in the field with a height of more than 20 meters!

This is Susanoo of Fugaku!

"I didn't expect Fugaku to have Mangekyo Sharingun! Uchiha... Really an enviable family!"

Sarutobi, the Third, muttered.

When Danzo heard the words, a haze flashed across his face. The stronger Uchiha, the more he wanted to take this power as his own!

Danzo roared frantically in his heart: "Damn, you Uchihas one day your eyes will be mine!"

****

 Fugaku knelt down on one knee, gasping heavily inside the Susanoo.

At this time, blood began to flow from his left eye!

Kaito looked at Fugaku with a measured gaze and remarked, "Predicting the future? I didn't expect you to wield such a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. I must admit, I respect you a little."

"But, capable as these eyes are, its poses a significant burden on you! How many times can you use it?"

Fugaku stood up again with the support of Itachi, but he remained silent, choosing not to answer Kaito's question.

Kaito's deduction was correct; Fugaku's left eye could indeed foresee events in the next five seconds, but this ability exacted a toll on his body.

If he merely glimpsed the future for five seconds, it didn't consume much pupil power and chakra. However, altering the existing future drained his Chakra and pupil power significantly, with the extent of the change determining the consumption.

This was Fugaku's first use of this technique, and rescuing Itachi had already depleted one-fifth of his pupil power.

It's crucial to note that the pupil power of the Mangekyō Sharingan is finite. Once depleted, the host would immediately go blind. In the original story, a similar fate befell the Sasuke who, after numerous battles, nearly went blind before transplanting Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan to participate in the fourth ninja war.

Considering Fugaku's current pace, he would only have four chances to use this ability at the level of Itachi. If the target were stronger and more influential, the number of uses would decrease further. Attempting to change the fate of a super-kage-level powerhouse might even blind Fugaku in a single attempt.

***

"Your eyes are impressive!"

Kaito told Fugaku casually, hinting that he could take Fugaku's eyes at any time.

"Your Mangekyō Sharingan abilities, they're not without flaws," panted Fugaku. "Overreliance on the Mangekyō Sharingan will lead to your eventual loss."

Kaito smiled confidently, understanding Fugaku's concern. Under normal circumstances, unchecked use of the Mangekyō Sharingan would lead to eventual blindness due to exhausted pupil power. However, Kaito possessed a unique advantage - the system.

The more Kaito used the Mangekyō Sharingan, the stronger his control over it became. Once he achieved perfect mastery of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the system would naturally upgrade it to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Thus, Kaito paid little heed to this small variable .

Kaito said casually, "I don't care whether you predict my next attack or not ."

"But you better think how to survive my next attack."

As Kaito's words hung in the air, Fugaku's expression suddenly shifted. Even with Susanoo's protection, he urgently pulled the puzzled Itachi back.

Just as they escaped from their original location, the landscape in that spot underwent a drastic change.
