Chapter 17

The steel wire used by Kaito is a unique product of the Uchiha clan, this kind of wire is not only tough but also hard to detect.

Moreover, the function of this steel wire is not only to lock the enemy, but it is also a great weapon in combination with the Uchiha clan's fire jutsu!

As the Fire Dragon Jutsu traveled along the steel wires laid out by Kaito, rushing towards Raiga, Raiga's pale face was reflected in an extremely bright red by the blazing flames.

He struggled to break free from the binding on his body, even many of the wires were already torn off by him disregarding the injury, but the speed of the Fire Jutsu was much faster than him.

Especially when Kaito calculated the landing point of the kunai, he specifically targeted Raiga's hands, not giving him any chance to form hand seals, this guy couldn't even perform the most basic substitution jutsu at this moment.

All he could do was watch the scorching flames engulf him in an instant amidst despair and his body's ceaseless struggle!

"Ah!"

A scream echoed across the plains in an instant, the smell of burning flesh spread rapidly around, the shrill sound was as if it came from hell.

Seeing this scene, Kaito also felt a bit nauseous, especially when he saw the flesh on this guy being melted away, he couldn't help but frown.

Even as a ninja who has experienced many killings, Kaito still has his own bottom line, just as he would feel angry when he sees innocent people being slaughtered.

"I told you that you lost, now rest in peace."

Kaito murmured softly at the corner of his mouth, then once again drew out a kunai. With a light lift of his hand, the kunai shot quickly towards Raiga.

With the sound of metal piercing flesh, Raiga's scream came to a sudden stop. The kunai had pierced his heart, and in that moment, he had completely lost his life.

But due to the wire binding, his body was standing there, continually burning. This sight was very eerie and terrifying.

However, Kaito didn't pay attention to these details, and he quickly adjusted his state. After all, he had burned many people to death with his Fire Jutsu.

As an Uchiha who doesn't have Lightning Jutsu, Kaito is most proficient in Fire Jutsu. He has learned Earth Jutsu, but his usage of it is quite ordinary.

Therefore, the tactics he considers in battle are biased towards Fire Jutsu. At least the Fire Jutsu in his hands is not a merciful flame.

Even though he also uses Fire Jutsu as a cover and to coordinate attacks, when it comes to finishing off enemies and not considering close combat, Fire Jutsu is still his best choice.

Moreover, now that he possessed the Art of Flying, the value of Fire Jutsu had increased even more for him.

"But now is not the time to ponder over this, I have more important things to do."

Kaito murmured to himself, then quickly increased the output of his chakra. In an instant, the flames became even more intense.

Amid these wild and hot flames, Raiga's body melted away even more rapidly, with black smoke billowing towards the sky.

He didn't intend to leave any trace of this man, nor did he plan to give him a chance for resurrection.

After doing all of this, he started to open his system panel. In fact, the moment he finished off Raiga not long ago, he had sensed a prompt from the system.

This confirmed that he had indeed finished off Raiga completely, otherwise his system would not give any hint.

And when the system panel appeared in Kaito's retina, he couldn't help but laugh.

[Skill: True Evolution (0/1)]

[Activation Condition: Requires one hundred power fragments for activation]

[Power Fragments: Jounin can obtain twenty-five, Chunin can obtain twenty, Genin can obtain ten, regular enemies vary from one to five]

[Current Power Fragments obtained: One hundred and ten]

[Congratulations, host has completed the prerequisite conditions for True Evolution, would you like to proceed with evolution]

Facing such a question, Kaito didn't need to make a choice at all, and his current mood was extremely excited.

The Mangekyou Sharingan, those eyes that he has yearned for in his dreams, he can finally obtain them!

With these eyes, he can have an advantageous position in the future's complex and unpredictable environment. With these eyes, he can have the capability to defend himself in upcoming crises.

More importantly, with these eyes, Kaito can have a broader scope of development within his clan!

The dark cloud of clan annihilation has always loomed over his head. Although he knows that without Shisui's death, there would be no fuse for the coup, nor would there be an opportunity for Itachi Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyou.

But the relationship between Konoha and the Uchiha is evident, even if it isn't Itachi Uchiha, others might be forced to do these deeds.

Even bypassing the Uchiha is not impossible, after all, in the original, the night of clan annihilation was a joint act by Danzo Shimura, Itachi Uchiha, and Tobi Uchiha.

If Danzo Shimura truly had no connections with the Akatsuki organization, Kaito would never believe it.

After all, he has cooperated with Orochimaru for so long, it's not to say that there's no contact at all just because Orochimaru defected.

How could he have achieved such a level without Orochimaru's help?

"Therefore, I truly can't let my guard down for even a moment. Only by possessing enough power can I do everything I wish to do!"

The yearning for power has been Kaito's mindset since he came to this world, but it has become even more apparent after being held hostage by his clan.

Without sufficient power, what good would a quick mind be?

Whether it be scheming openly or in the shadows, or various methods, they are all but aids. Only by mastering true power can one truly stand firm in this world!

[True Evolution has been activated]

[Skill: True Evolution (1/1), will disappear automatically after use by the host]

[Evolution target selected - Sharingan]

[Evolution in progress]

In an instant, Kaito felt the mental power within his brain being crazily mobilized, and not only that, it began to rotate frenziedly.

In this rotation, Kaito felt an unbearable pain in his brain at this moment, and his eyes seemed to be unable to open.

"Ah!"

Under the intense pain, even the highly resilient Kaito couldn't help but let out a scream.

He fell to his knees, his eyes tightly closed, and his hands clutching his head.

He could feel something trickling down from his eyes, likely his own blood if nothing unexpected had happened.

In such agony, he felt every second was torture, but for the sake of the Mangekyou, he had to endure.

He knew the activation of the Mangekyou was a stimulus to the mind, but he had not found such a potent method of stimulation.

Therefore, the system forcibly mobilizing his mental energy, making his mental power crazily expand and grow could be considered the only method available.

Thankfully, such pain didn't last too long, Kaito already felt the mental energy within his brain starting to calm down.

Accompanied by the subsiding pain in his eyes, an unusual power began to spread from his eyes. He knew everything was over.

"So this is the True Evolution?"

Kaito, a bit wobbly, stood up. He gently wiped off the blood from the corner of his eyes, then slowly opened them.

In an instant, a formidable and fear-inducing power began to radiate all around him...
