Chapter 79: The New Mangekyō Sharingan, Fugaku Regrets!

Chapter 79: The New Mangekyō Sharingan, Fugaku Regrets!

Ishihara shook his head as he glanced at the two men beside him.

Fugaku's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Pointing at the second elder of the Uchiha clan, Ishihara replied, "He's too old. He won't last long enough to awaken the Mangekyō. There's no need to waste my time."

"You!"

The second elder of the Uchiha clan became somewhat angry.

He had come with great determination, only to be rejected outright.

How humiliating!

Fugaku quickly stepped forward to stop him and then pointed to the young man beside him. "What about Inaho? Can he do it?"

Uchiha Inaho nervously looked at Ishihara.

The terrifying scene of facing Ishihara alongside Tetsuka last time was still fresh in his mind. Now, was it possible he might not be able to awaken the Mangekyō?

He felt like his heart was about to leap out of his chest.

"He can," Ishihara said calmly.

What Ishihara didn't tell Fugaku was that awakening the Mangekyō was not simply about paying a price—it also depended on talent.

Without sufficient talent, no matter how much lifespan one expended, it would be impossible to awaken the Mangekyō, only wasting his time.

Inaho, however, was different. By the age of around 20, he had already awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan and become a squad captain in the Police Force, so his talent was naturally sufficient.

Upon hearing this, both Inaho and Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief, even feeling somewhat happy.

"Come, sit in front of me," Ishihara pointed to the grass in front of him.

Inaho quickly moved over and sat down, his expression tense.

Ishihara once again cast a barrier to envelop the two of them, preventing any sound from escaping.

He then began explaining the secret technique to Uchiha Tetsuka, guiding him to quickly master it.

With the experience of the previous session, Inaho grasped it even faster.

Just like Tetsuka, Inaho could use the secret technique but had no understanding of its underlying principles.

Buzz—

Ishihara cast a genjutsu space again, pulling Inaho into it.

Learning from the failure of his last experiment, this time, he first used Kyōka Suigetsu to disrupt Inaho's five senses, lowering the difficulty of the hypnosis.

Only then did he begin hypnotizing Inaho, planting the seed.

"You want to copy all the secret techniques in the ninja world, protect the Uchiha clan, and defeat the higher-ups of Konoha!"

After finishing this, Ishihara let out a breath.

He had done everything he could. Now it was up to fate.

"As part of the deal, I'll help you awaken the Mangekyō. From now on, you just need to fully activate the secret technique."

"Yes!" Inaho took a deep breath and activated the secret technique!

Hiss!!!

A sharp, intense pain surged through his entire body, causing his face to contort uncontrollably.

This time, Ishihara could observe everything clearly through his Byakugan, and he was deeply shocked.

"As I suspected, it's just like when the Eighth Gate of the Eight Gates Formation is opened."

"This secret technique is rapidly draining his life energy, causing his cells to age, divide, and renew at a fast pace!"

"His lifespan is plummeting!"

Inaho had already been forewarned by Tetsuka about what would happen.

So he gritted his teeth, despite the audible grinding, and continued to activate the secret technique.

The extreme pain, much like when one is overwhelmed by love, started to affect the Yin Release chakra, causing slight changes.

At the same time, the weakening of his body's cells naturally included his special organs.

As they continuously renewed, they were also influenced by the Yin Release chakra, undergoing what seemed to be targeted mutations.

With each iteration of cellular renewal, the mutations progressed further.

This was something Ishihara hadn't noticed during his last observation.

"Ugh!!!"

The accumulating pain made Inaho's face pale, his entire face twitching uncontrollably.

Even his body began to change.

The newly formed skin, muscle, bone, and other tissue cells began to show signs of aging.

On the surface, this made Inaho appear old—his skin sagged, and his hair turned gray.

He looked like a decrepit old man!

Seeing this, the Uchiha second elder stood there in shock, a shiver running down his spine.

Inaho, this young man, had suddenly aged into an old man.

If it had been him undergoing the process, he would probably be... dead by now!

Meanwhile, outside the courtyard.

The Third Hokage was still troubled by the recent transaction, but suddenly, his expression froze.

"Wait a minute, the ones who went in for the transaction were Uchiha?! Damn it!!!"

His pupils contracted sharply, his face becoming incredibly grim as he stared at the courtyard, panting heavily, itching to rush in immediately.

He had completely forgotten that the Uchiha clan's deal with Ishihara was to awaken the Mangekyō!

He had been so focused earlier that this had slipped his mind.

Now, it was too late for regrets!

He feared clashing with Ishihara and also feared directly igniting a war with the Uchiha clan. For a moment, he was paralyzed with indecision!

Inside the courtyard.

The evolution process was nearing its end!

Inaho had aged even more than the Uchiha second elder.

The second elder was completely dumbfounded!

Ishihara focused intently on the changes inside Inaho's body.

The mutation of his special organ was happening faster than expected. Perhaps Inaho's talent surpassed even Tetsuka's.

"It's almost there! The mutation is about to happen! A new Mangekyō is about to be born!"

Suddenly!

All the accumulated progress reached a critical point!

Then, it broke through the threshold!

Buzz—

The special organ mutated!

A unique chakra was born, instantly flooding into Uchiha Inaho's eyes.

His Three Tomoe Sharingan automatically surfaced, and under the influence of the unique chakra, its structure began to change.

A new pattern formed!

"Mangekyō Sharingan?!"

The Uchiha second elder watched this scene in excitement, his whole body trembling.

It was real!

The Mangekyō Sharingan had really been awakened!

A miracle! A miracle!!

Fugaku was also moved.

Tetsuka had just awakened his Mangekyō only to have it taken by Ishihara.

Now, the Uchiha clan finally had a new pair of Mangekyō to call their own.

"I... I awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan?!"

Uchiha Inaho teared up with excitement.

After sacrificing decades of his life, he had finally reached the pinnacle of the Uchiha clan!

It was all worth it!!!

Ishihara, satisfied with his creation, asked, "What is your eye technique?"

Uchiha Inaho shuddered.

That question reminded him of Tetsuka's tragic fate last time, and he hurriedly tried to sense his eye technique.

Soon, information flooded into his mind, causing a strange glint to flash in his eyes.

Ishihara frowned. Could it be that the Uchiha never learned from their mistakes?

But just then, Inaho hesitated for a moment before saying:

"My eye technique is called Phantom. It allows me to control the shadows of my enemies."

Smack!

Ishihara slapped his forehead and sighed.

Well, the experiment had failed again!

What nonsense was this?

Fugaku's mouth twitched as he glanced at Ishihara, his gaze tinged with resentment.

Tetsuka's eye technique had been influenced by Ishihara and turned into Lightning Release.

Now, Inaho's eye technique was shadow-related, also influenced by him.

Fugaku regretted it now. He should never have allowed them to witness Ishihara performing his secret techniques or ninjutsu.

Next time, he definitely wouldn't let them watch!
