Chapter 12 Fugaku's Pupil Technique
When Chiba hurried back to Itachi's side, he deliberately turned away.
One reason was to re-scan the dropped Sharingan power.
The other reason was that he genuinely didn't want to witness the father and son confrontation.
Chiba lingered not far from Fugaku's house for a while.
Until Fugaku emerged with blood on his face.
"It's over," Itachi stated calmly, looking at Chiba.
Chiba furrowed his brow.
Itachi had become even more somber and colder than before, devoid of any trace of human emotion.
In an instant, Chiba appeared near Itachi, but he refrained from looking at Fugaku's house.
"Things are wrapping up with Madara; we should depart," Chiba said while the drops were being collected by the system.
[Pick up 3000 points of Sharingan power]
[Pick up 300 points of Sharingan power]
[Pick up Sharingan Technique: Divine Knowledge]
[Pick up Sharingan technique: Tsukuyomi]
[Pick up 3000 points of Fire Style Chakra Nature Transformation]
...
A series of system notifications caused Chiba's pupils to contract.
3000 points of Sharingan power, which was at most half of Fugaku's power.
According to the system's calculation, Fugaku might have awakened Susanoo.
This level of strength surpassed Chiba's expectations.
Considering Fugaku's almost imperceptible strength, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"You go ahead. I still have something to attend to," Itachi warned Chiba with a stern gaze.
Chiba shrugged and turned to leave.
He also wanted to recall the classic lines from his previous life.
Oh, my foolish Ododo...
Perched on a nearby rooftop,
Hiding in the shadows, Chiba began examining the new Sharingan technique he had just acquired.
[Divine Knowledge: Roughly predicts the future based on known information]
"So, this is what Fugaku referred to as his ability to foresee the future? No wonder he had faith in Itachi," Chiba pondered for a moment, finding this Sharingan technique somewhat intricate.
The predicted outcome was closely tied to the information possessed by the user.
Yet, reflecting on Sasuke's future, it seemed that Fugaku's predictions were not entirely incorrect.
"It's not particularly impressive," Chiba sighed helplessly. This Sharingan technique might prove useful, but in the world of the Hokage, he didn't have much need for it.
As for the other Sharingan technique, he was quite familiar with it.
[Tsukuyomi: Imprisons the enemy's spirit within an illusionary realm]
[Within the world of Tsukuyomi, the user has complete control over all aspects, including time, space, and sensations, inflicting severe physical and mental anguish on the enemy]
Chiba not only knew about it but also managed to unravel its secrets.
However, Tsukuyomi could compensate for his lack of powerful genjutsu, making it highly valuable.
Chiba glanced at his Sharingan power attributes.
With less than two thousand points remaining, he could break through again.
He turned around and made his way back to Obito's side.
There, he encountered Obito in the midst of gouging out his own eyes.
The two stared at each other, feeling somewhat awkward.
"Um... Itachi's business is concluded. He might want to greet his dear brother warmly. Let's depart first," Chiba broke the silence with his words.
Exhaling deeply, Obito felt an inexplicable sense of bitterness.
After observing Chiba for a while, Obito could only respond dryly, "I see. I just need to wrap things up on my end."
"I'll wait for you outside," Chiba replied, a smile evident behind his Anbu mask.
This time, he was going to break through once again.
[Congratulations! Your Sharingan power has reached the upper limit of Eternal Mangekyō, and the curse has been completely lifted. Do you agree to surpass the upper limit and achieve evolution?]
"Agree!" Chiba couldn't contain his excitement.
Now he no longer had to worry about the blindness of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
[Congratulations on your Sharingan evolving into the Rinnegan state.]
Rinnegan? Chiba was momentarily taken aback. He looked at his Sharingan power attributes and was immediately stunned.
[Sharingan Power: LV6 (31683/100000)]
One hundred thousand? Chiba's mouth fell open, and his eye twitched involuntarily.
The Uchiha clan had been completely wiped out. Where could he obtain 100,000 Sharingan power? His only option was to fight hard with the Rinnegan.
Although it seemed daunting, Chiba had confidence in his abilities.
He took out the small mirror he always carried and activated his Sharingan.
Three Tomoe, Mangekyō, Rinnegan!
The three forms shifted rapidly before settling on the Rinnegan.
An additional circle surrounded the pupil in the red eye, intersecting with the three Tomoe.
Simultaneously, a new piece of information appeared in Chiba's mind.
Rinnegan. Through continued evolution, he could unlock the secret techniques of the Rinnegan.
Unlike Madara, who awakened the Rinnegan all at once, Chiba had to progress step by step.
"You may proceed," Obito spoke quietly as he emerged from the shadows.
Chiba raised an eyebrow. Had he startled Obito before seeking revenge on himself? So petty, Chiba thought, pouting.
As they left, the two of them instinctively chose the direction of Fugaku's house. Clearly, they were curious about what would transpire next.
How dull, Chiba thought.
They arrived on the rooftop Chiba had mentioned before, observing Itachi waiting patiently on the street in the distance.
Finally, the last crucial player in this major event made their appearance.
Sasuke, carrying a sling bag, walked with joyful steps, his face brimming with innocence.
When Sasuke spotted the lifeless bodies on the street, panic set in, and he rushed home in a frenzy.
Chiba couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
The weasel truly was heartless. Cruel to himself, to his clan, to his parents, and to his younger brother, Sasuke.
Soon, Sasuke returned home.
What a pity, it's a living hell inside!
His parents lay in a pool of blood, and his dear brother stood beside them, clutching a bloodied knife.
"Ah!" A horrifying scream echoed throughout the Uchiha district.
Chiba sighed, while Obito lowered his head, yet both kept their eyes fixed on the door of Fugaku's house.
"If you count those who have awakened their Mangekyō Sharingan, including myself, there are four individuals..."
"You fool. If you want to kill me, then hate me! Hate me! And live in misery!"
"Running away, huh? Running away and doing your best to survive?!"
"Then wait until you have the same eyes as mine, and come back to me!!"
After Sasuke lost consciousness, Itachi approached Chiba.
The three of them stood in silence, gazing at the Uchiha clan.
The once vibrant place now resembled a hellish landscape, filled with lifeless bodies.
This scene would be etched into their memories until the day they died.
"Let's go. Konoha's Anbu will be arriving soon," Obito said, patting Itachi's shoulder, but unsure of how to console him.
Tears still welled up in Itachi's eyes, yet he stubbornly held them back, refusing to let them fall.
"We should leave first. I'll handle matters involving Konoha's higher-ups," Chiba added.
"And since I'm leaving Konoha, I might as well take some of Konoha's specialties with me," he continued.
Obito stared at him, at a loss for words. This guy was truly unpredictable.
"The ordeal is over. Don't cause any trouble," Obito warned.
Chiba waved his hand dismissively. "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from that spot in an instant.
