Chapter 57: Resistance! Ishihara: Mine is Bigger and Stronger!

Fugaku and the others stared in shock at the Mangekyō Sharingan in Uchiha Tetsuka's eyes, completely dumbfounded.

Even among the Uchiha clan, the Mangekyō Sharingan is an extremely rare ability. But now, someone had discovered a way to awaken the Mangekyō, and it was happening right in front of them! It was simply unbelievable.

"I've awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?" Uchiha Tetsuka trembled with excitement as he felt the terrifying power in his eyes. A dream that once seemed unreachable had been realized so easily! It was like a dream.

"That's right!" Ishihara replied, equally delighted that the experiment had succeeded on the first try. He asked eagerly, "What is your dōjutsu?"

If the ability turned out to be something like copying techniques, that would be fantastic. But Uchiha Tetsuka did not answer immediately. Instead, he fell silent, his eyes flickering with thoughts. Now that he had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and become a true powerhouse, should he still allow himself to be controlled by Ishihara? A sense of defiance stirred in his heart.

Moreover, he already knew what his Mangekyō dōjutsu was. It felt even more powerful than the strength Ishihara had just displayed. This overwhelming power made him unwilling to remain subordinate!

Seeing this, Ishihara chuckled. It seemed this Uchiha had some ambitions. He glanced at Fugaku and the others outside the barrier and calmly said, "It seems you're still not satisfied. In that case, I'll give you a chance."

"Show me your dōjutsu to your heart's content. If you can last one minute against me, I'll teach the Uchiha clan how to cultivate the Mangekyō for free!"

If they refused to submit, he would beat them into submission! Ishihara was confident and well-prepared for them to awaken the Mangekyō. Moreover, letting the opponent use their dōjutsu would make it easier for him to study it.

"One minute? Don't underestimate me!" Tetsuka was furious upon hearing this. Brimming with confidence after just awakening the Mangekyō, he didn't believe for a second that he would lose.

With that, his Mangekyō Sharingan began spinning rapidly.

Buzz—

Crack!!!

A powerful lightning-style chakra erupted from his body, enveloping him entirely. The terrifying energy instantly shattered the soundproof barrier.

Ishihara was taken aback. "Lightning Chakra Mode? Or is it Lightning Instantaneous Body?" The current state of Tetsuka resembled his own Lightning Instantaneous Body technique but looked more like Lightning Chakra Mode. He then sighed in disappointment.

Without a doubt, the experiment had failed! The Sharingan, known as the "Eye that Reflects the Heart," evolves into the Mangekyō based on the wielder's inner thoughts, giving rise to unique dōjutsu. Ishihara had always doubted this idea, so he tested it by planting a seed in Tetsuka's mind during the Mangekyō awakening. But now, it seemed that this theory might be true. Unfortunately, his genjutsu influence hadn't worked.

"Perhaps he was too deeply impressed by my battle with Fugaku and the power of Lightning Instantaneous Body," Ishihara mused. Although the experiment had failed, he quickly regained his composure. At least the experiment proved that his idea was feasible.

"Next time, I'll strengthen the mental suggestion!"

"Hahaha…" At that moment, Tetsuka burst into excited laughter, feeling the terrifying power surging within him. The explosive strength coursing through his body and the vitality far surpassing anything he had known left him astonished.

"So this is why Ishihara could break through Susanoo's defense. With this power, how could I possibly lose?"

Filled with confidence, Tetsuka looked at Ishihara with a proud expression, eager to fight. He wanted to crush Ishihara!

Fugaku and the others were shocked by this sudden turn of events.

"Does he really think he can defeat Ishihara just because he awakened the Mangekyō?" Fugaku thought, feeling a sense of dread as he watched the arrogant Tetsuka. But he dared not act rashly and could only stand by helplessly.

Ishihara calmly observed Tetsuka, then activated his Lightning Instantaneous Body Mode and the Heavenly Demon Tattoo, beckoning him forward.

"Come on!"

"Don't underestimate me!" Tetsuka's face darkened, and he was filled with rage. Under the Lightning Chakra Mode, his speed became incredibly fast. In a flash, he appeared before Ishihara, launching an attack.

Ishihara casually raised his hand to block.

Boom!

When fist met palm, a shockwave erupted. Tetsuka was shocked, not expecting his attack to be blocked, and his expression turned grim.

Ishihara looked at him coldly. "What are you surprised about? Your dōjutsu is merely imitating my secret technique. Did you really think you could be faster or stronger than me?"

"Imitating?!" Tetsuka glared at him with fury in his eyes. He quickly pulled back, and Ishihara did not stop him but looked at him indifferently. "Continue."

The disdain in Ishihara's eyes enraged Tetsuka even more.

"Damn it, don't look down on me!" Tetsuka roared internally, launching a frenzied attack on Ishihara from all directions with his incredible speed. But no matter how fast he moved or how tricky his attacks were, Ishihara blocked every single one with ease. Throughout the entire exchange, Ishihara didn't even move his feet.

Boom!!!

In another clash, Ishihara sent Tetsuka flying with a punch. As he advanced, he coldly said, "If this is all your dōjutsu can do, there's no point in continuing!"

Tetsuka got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and angrily said, "I didn't want to use this move, but since you're asking for it, don't blame me!"

"Gather!"

Crackle! Crackle!

As Tetsuka roared, a massive amount of lightning chakra began to condense in his hand, rapidly forming a spear. Holding the lightning spear, he looked down at Ishihara with a proud and disdainful expression.

"Lightning Spear! This is a technique formed by condensing a vast amount of lightning chakra. Its power rivals a Tailed Beast Bomb, and its speed is as fast as lightning. No one can dodge it!"

For the first time, Ishihara seemed genuinely interested. He was certain that Tetsuka's lightning-style form manipulation could never have reached this level on its own.

"Interesting. Could it be that your dōjutsu allows you to control the shape of lightning chakra?"

Tetsuka replied proudly, "That's right! My dōjutsu is called Raijin, and it allows me to control the shape of lightning chakra and enhance its power through nature transformation!"

As he spoke, more lightning chakra erupted from his body, quickly forming two wolves and a thunderbird with wings spanning over two meters.

"Interesting,"

Ishihara's eyes lit up as he observed the scene. The complexity of the lightning chakra shape manipulation Tetsuka had achieved was far beyond anything he could do—or, for that matter, anything anyone in the shinobi world could accomplish. This dōjutsu could be very useful to him!

Tetsuka, wearing a proud smile, confidently declared, "Surrender now, Ishihara. You can't beat this move!"

Ishihara chuckled and shook his head. "Then take a look at my move!"

Crackle! Crackle!

An even more terrifying amount of lightning chakra began to gather in Ishihara's hand. Tetsuka scoffed at the sight.

"Stop dreaming. The Lightning Spear requires an incredibly high level of chakra shape manipulation. Not even you can... What the hell is that?!"

His voice abruptly cut off as he stared in disbelief, his entire body trembling.

Before him, a massive lightning spear had also formed in Ishihara's hand. It was bigger, thicker, and emanated an aura even more violent and terrifying than his own!

Tetsuka could feel the sheer volume of chakra contained within it, and his whole body quivered as his eyes widened in shock.

"This can't be real! The amount of chakra in that thing is more than my entire chakra reserve!"

"If I get hit by that move..."

"No way, I absolutely can't take this head-on!"
