Chapter 076.2: Cleansing Talisman, Kakashi Can Perfectly Control the Mangekyō Sharingan!

"I choose the Heart of Flame!"

Itachi extracted the Heart of Flame.

Swoosh!

A crimson gemstone fell into Itachi's palm, radiating a slight warmth.

Without hesitation, he pricked his finger and let a drop of blood merge with the Heart of Flame.

In the next moment…

The Heart of Flame transformed into a stream of light and imprinted itself on his heart, forming a heart-shaped mark.

Immediately after, Uchiha Itachi performed the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Boom!!!

The terrifying power erupted, much stronger than when he usually performed the technique.

"It's about twenty percent more powerful!" Uchiha Itachi murmured.

One must understand that at his level, enhancing a jutsu like the Great Fireball Technique by even a little is a significant effort. Yet, the Heart of Flame could boost its power by twenty percent, effectively causing a substantial increase in its potency.

"No wonder it's called the Heart of Flame; its effect is truly powerful, Itachi!" Kisame Hoshigaki remarked as he approached, impressed.

"It's decent," Uchiha Itachi replied with a slight nod.

Soon after, the rewards from the Dōjutsu Ranking continued to be distributed.

Before long, it was time to announce the reward for the 24th place on the Dōjutsu Ranking.

"I hope I can get something good!" Danzo hoped.

Soon, the rewards were revealed.

The first reward was a Lifespan Pill that extends life by twenty years. For someone of Danzo's age, such a pill was incredibly valuable.

The second reward was the Wind Eye, a treasure that could enhance the power of Wind Release. Since Danzo specialized in Wind Release, this treasure suited him well.

After much consideration, Danzo decided to take the Wind Eye.

Although he wanted to live longer, being killed would render even five hundred years of extended life meaningless. The Wind Eye, on the other hand, could increase his combat strength. If he ever faced Uchiha Sasuke in the future, the Wind Eye might improve his chances of survival.

Koharu Utatane: "What a pity. If I had that Lifespan Pill, that would have been perfect!"

Homura Mitokado: "Indeed, choosing the Lifespan Pill would have been better. Why go for the Wind Eye?"

Danzo: "What's the use of a longer life without strength?"

Orochimaru: "It seems that Sasuke has scared Danzo. He's afraid that the future vision might become a reality! If he doesn't increase his power, it will be amusing if he really ends up dying while sealing a bridge!"

Soon enough, Danzo retrieved the Wind Eye.

The Wind Eye was small, only about half the size of a normal eyeball.

Danzo refined the Wind Eye and embedded it in his right arm, placing it on the arm that had been implanted with Hashirama's cells. This was the most appropriate location!

Quickly, it was time to announce the reward for the 25th place on the Dōjutsu Ranking, which belonged to Kakashi.

At that moment, Might Guy was a bit anxious. Since Kakashi was his best friend, he naturally felt both nervous and hopeful for him!

Finally, the reward for the 25th place on the Dōjutsu Ranking was revealed.

The first item was a Chakra Doubling Talisman, meaning that if Kakashi chose this reward, his chakra reserves would double.

Kakashi's chakra had already been significantly increased through multiple enhancements. If it were to double again, his total chakra reserves would rival those of an average Kage-level shinobi.

The second item was a talisman known as the Cleansing Talisman!

Of course, this purification didn't refer to a literal cleansing but rather the elimination of physical rejection, abnormalities, and other negative effects.

Might Guy: "Kakashi, choose the Cleansing Talisman! You don't lack chakra that much right now, and doubling it won't greatly increase your power. However, the Cleansing Talisman is excellent! If you use it, it might remove the rejection and burden of the Sharingan, allowing you to unleash its full power without collapsing after using the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Tsunade: "Indeed, Kakashi, if you can freely activate the Mangekyō Sharingan with fewer side effects, just like the Uchiha clan members, your strength will undoubtedly see a significant increase!"

Shisui Uchiha: "I didn't expect such a talisman to exist. If there are many of these talismans, many people might covet our Uchiha clan's eyes!"

Fourth Raikage: "The Uchiha clan doesn't have many members left. Even if such talismans exist, there's little chance to steal their Sharingan!"

Danzo: "I have plenty of Sharingan. I can sell them to you!"

Third Hokage: "Danzo, stop embarrassing yourself!"

Asuma Sarutobi: "Kakashi, you should choose the Cleansing Talisman; it will significantly boost your power!"

Kakashi: "Alright, I'll choose the Cleansing Talisman!"

Thus, Kakashi immediately retrieved the Cleansing Talisman.

In Konoha, Kakashi, Might Guy, Asuma Sarutobi, and even Tsunade had gathered, all eagerly awaiting Kakashi to use the Cleansing Talisman.

At that moment, Kakashi took out a talisman. It was inscribed with a unique pattern, and the material of the talisman itself was extraordinary—a purple beast hide, exuding a faint aura of pressure.

"Kakashi, quickly use the Cleansing Talisman! Let us see its effect!" Might Guy urged impatiently.

"Alright!" Kakashi activated the Cleansing Talisman using his chakra.

Instantly, the talisman transformed into a ray of light, enveloping Kakashi completely.

At that moment, Kakashi felt warm all over, incredibly comfortable.

However, soon his Sharingan began to feel a bit strange, both itchy and slightly painful.

But after a while, the sensation in his Sharingan disappeared entirely.

In the past, he always felt that these eyes were not his own, that they were foreign to him. He could never close his Sharingan, which was why he had to keep his left eye covered.

The inability to close his Sharingan was because he couldn't fully control it, and there was a constant sense of rejection—his own spiritual energy didn't match the Mangekyō Sharingan's spiritual energy.

The Mangekyō Sharingan requires a special type of spiritual energy. Even Danzo, after transplanting a Mangekyō Sharingan, experienced similar issues.

But now, under the influence of the Cleansing Talisman, the rejection was erased. It felt as if this Mangekyō Sharingan truly belonged to him, with no sense of alienation or rejection.

He could now perfectly control his Mangekyō Sharingan at will.

"It feels great!" Kakashi said.

At that moment, he uncovered his left eye.

Everyone noticed that Kakashi's left eye had reverted to a normal eye state.

"Kakashi, did you lose your Mangekyō Sharingan?" Might Guy blurted out instinctively.

"Kakashi simply deactivated his Mangekyō Sharingan. He can now control it perfectly!" Tsunade explained.

"So that's it. I thought Kakashi had lost his Sharingan!" Might Guy scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Kakashi, how do you feel?" Tsunade asked.

"Let me test the Kamui ability of my Mangekyō Sharingan!" Kakashi said.

Immediately, his left eye transformed into the Mangekyō Sharingan, and he aimed at a rock not far away.

"Kamui!!!"

Suddenly, the space around the rock distorted, and the entire rock was directly swallowed and shattered by the Kamui space.

At that moment, Kakashi merely covered his eye, feeling some pain, but it wasn't anything serious. It certainly wasn't like before, where he would collapse instantly.

"It's not bad. Without the cells of Hashirama, using the Mangekyō Sharingan naturally puts some strain on the eye and body. But now, I can treat Kamui as a regular combat technique, not just a trump card!" Kakashi said.

"That's great, Kakashi! Now you can use Kamui anytime, and your strength has greatly increased!"

Might Guy exclaimed excitedly,

"Kakashi has the Kamui ability, and I have taijutsu. If we work together, we'll be unstoppable!"

[Fourth Raikage: Kakashi, did you use the Cleansing Talisman? How did it work out?]

[Kakashi: It worked perfectly. I can now activate my Mangekyō Sharingan's Kamui ability at any time without putting too much strain on my body!]

[Deidara: So, Kakashi, you can use Kamui multiple times now!!!]

Deidara had experienced Kakashi's Kamui before—it was truly terrifying. Last time, it severely injured him.

If Kakashi could use Kamui multiple times, Deidara knew he had to be careful. If he got hit by Kamui again, it would be a big problem.

At that moment, Uchiha Obito was filled with jealousy.

"That guy Kakashi can freely use my Mangekyō Sharingan without any limitations now!"

Obito felt uneasy—it was his eye after all!

Although he now had a Mangekyō Sharingan with a teleportation ability, it didn't mean he didn't care about his other Mangekyō Sharingan.

But there was nothing he could do about it now.

As time passed, Nagato had already gathered enough livestock, criminals, ordinary humans, and some shinobi. They were all captured and brought here.

He planned to sacrifice these people to the Death Scepter in order to resurrect Yahiko!
