Chapter 309 - – 305 At The Cost Of Four Limbs
The insight of Mangekyou Sharingan and three tomoe Sharingan is very different, even the insight of a three of a pair of Sharingan that has already evolved into Mangekyou Sharingan is also superior to ordinary three tomoe Sharingan.
And therefore, Fugaku was highly surprised that even with his three tomoe Sharingan activated, he was having quite a bit of difficulty in capturing the figure of Hiruko.
This is obviously different from his expectations.
And Hiruko\'s line of thinking wasn\'t much different, "Uchiha Fugaku can keep up with my speed, is his insight so strong?" – muttered Hiruko.
Similar to Fugaku, Hiruko was also highly surprised at this moment, as he did not expect Uchiha Fugaku to be so strong, and Hiruko is also really glad that he has Sharingan, otherwise he would have fallen prey to Genjutsu several times already.
Hiruko did not expect this, according to him, Uchiha Fugaku didn\'t seem to be so extraordinary. Not in the time when he was still in the village. There was some reputation during the third great shinobi war, but compared to the terror of Yellow Flash, Wicked-Eye was not so much!
Even the information that the Akatsuki has of the several Kage level Shinobi also did not state much about the Wicked-Eye Fugaku.
But with this fight, Hiruko has found out just how much difficult it is to deal with Uchiha Fugaku. Fugaku\'s speed is extremely fast, top-class Shurikenjutsu mastery, extreme proficiency on Fire Chakra nature, Kenjutsu Master, and most of all, Genjutsu specialist.
Utatane Koharu observed the two, and then said with a frown, "Hiruko can match up to Uchiha Fugaku? This is surprising, in my impression he should not have such capabilities!"
Mitokado Homura added, "And he also managed to transplant a pair of Sharingan! Just what kind of experiments was he doing Hiruzen?"
Mitokado and Utatane were surprised because under Nidaime-sama\'s era of power Konoha also conducted a lot of human experiments, among which the most famous ones were transplantation of Shodaime-sama\'s cells to cultivate a shinobi capable of using the legendary Wood Release, and transplantation of Sharingan.
However, these experiments were unsuccessful and did not produce any satisfactory results.
Although transplantation of Sharingan was much easier when compared to Hashirama Cells, it was still very restraining upon a shinobi. In fact, only Hatake Kakashi, whose Sharingan was gifted to him by his teammate Uchiha Obito is the only shinobi known to have Sharingan. And even Kakashi with his incredible talent is able to barely keep up with a single Sharingan. If someone was to transplant a pair of Sharingan then it is very likely that that person will die of the amount of burden Sharingan puts on a non-Uchiha.
For this very reason, even though many people covet the power of Sharingan, there are not many left alive who have acquired that power.
So the fact that Hiruko has acquired that power, not to mention without being restrained by it is highly surprising, "Perhaps his being able to acquire a pair of Sharingan indeed has something to do with the type of research and experiments he was doing. As far as I know, before he defected, Hiruko was researching a Kinjutsu that would allow the user to plunder other\'s Kekkei Genkai."
When Utatane and Mitokado heard Sandaime\'s words, both of them were extremely shocked.
Judging from Hiruko\'s current performance, it seems that the Kinjutsu he was researching and experimenting with was been successfully completed.
And this is not a good thing for the Shinobi world, it means that a bloody storm is about to come if the information about the existence of this technique is released.
"This means that while he pretended to be Uchiha Shisui, he used Swift Release, and Dark Release." – Sandaime paused here then continued, "And then there is Sharingan… I am afraid that he has already plundered three or more Kekkei Genkai!"
At this time, the situation on the battlefield has changed.
Hiruko insisted on defeating Uchiha Fugaku, so printing his hand signs, he shouted,
"Storm Release Secret Technique: Demon Dragon Storm!"
Instantly, a massive thunder cloud capable of absorbing Chakra to grow in size, strength, and ferocity covered the sky above the battlefield. And as per Hiruko\'s command which he gave using different hand signs to summon multiple red pillars of chakra and lightning raining.
Fugaku immediately realized the danger and retreated far away from Hiruko.
By now Fugaku has concluded that defeating Hiruko without using his Mangekyou Sharingan would be almost impossible> But at the same time, Fugaku also feels that Hiruko lacks in the experience department.
Whether it is his attacking moves, or defensive moves, or the overall rhythm of battle, what he seriously lacks is proper coordination and flow which allowed Fugaku to make some extra moves, but because of that damn Dark Release and Steel Release, he couldn\'t completely exploit it to kill Hiruko at once.
\'Genjutsu from simple Sharingan is not working on Hiruko, should I use my Mangekyou?\' such a thought emerged, but he immediately shook his head, \'Entire senior staff of Konoha is present here, if I use my Mangekyou Sharingan, it won\'t go unnoticed by them, and now that the situation of Uchiha Clan has started to improve, I don\'t want to take any risk, that would again increase distrust between Uchiha Clan, and Hokage Faction, especially now that Amatsukami and Akatsuki are waiting to destroy us at any moment!\'
While Uchiha Fugaku considered many thoughts, and possibilities on how to take down Hiruko without the use of his Mangekyou Sharingan, Sandaime muttered, "It seems that Hiruko has also plundered Storm Release and Steel Release!" – Realizing how much of a threat Hiruko has become, Sandaime continued, "Hiruko with five Kekkei Genkai is difficult opponent even for Fugaku, let\'s take action together and resolve him at once!"
Elder Mitokado and Elder Utatane nodded.
At this time, Hiruko who was raining lightning all over the battlefield laughed out loudly and spoke, "Why Hokage-sama, do you regret your decision now?"
Sandaime who has summoned his Adamantine Staff, Enma looked at Hiruko and said in a deep voice, "Hiruko, do not make mistakes, again and again, it is already too late for you to look back!"
"Mistakes? Again, and again!" – Hiruko muttered in a daze, his face twisted in anger upon hearing Sandaime\'s words, and he roared, "Why does everything I do is wrong, huh? Is it because I am unwilling to be ordinary like most?"
It seems that the thunderclouds in the sky were affected by Hiruko\'s mood and became more violent. The rain of lightning from the thunderclouds became stronger and more frequent.
Standing at the center of the thunderclouds, Hiruko glanced at all the Konoha Shinobi around him, and said viciously, "Today, I will make you realize just who is wrong!"
Speaking so, Hiruko increased the amount of Chakra supporting the thunderclouds, thus further increasing the radius of thunderclouds and rain of lighting.
Everywhere lightning fell fire would be lit, and things would evaporate. Some of the Shinobi even suffered heavily from the lightning, and instantly lost their breath.
At this moment, Sandaime signaled Fugaku, who instantly understood Sandaime\'s intentions and rushed forward to engage in a battle with Hiruko.
"Haven\'t had enough, huh!?" – Hiruko roared, and violently waved his steel hands that were covered in lightning.
With Hiruko engaged in battle with Fugaku, Sandaime also rushed towards Hiruko with his Adamantine Staff. With just a step forward, the length and girth of Enma increased and it seemed to be ready to slam Hiruko into a pulp.
Seeing the staff coming towards, Hiruko grinned madly, he decided to not dodge that incoming staff, and shock Sandaime just how hard is his Steel Release!
Heavily kicking Uchiha Fugaku in the gut, Hiruko stood straight, with his arms opened wide, and said with a smile. "Any of you attack is meaningless against me!"
SMASH… Crack… break…
Just as his voice fell, and Sandaime\'s staff smashed on his waist, and instantly his face changed from a mocking look to a shocked and painful look.
Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom…
Before he could react, Hiruko flew out and collided with several walls far away, he broke through the first four walls and stooped at the fifth one with half his body buried inside that wall.
As the dust and smoke cleared, Hiruko got up, this time he no longer had his previous arrogant look, but a painful one filled with embarrassment and anger, "Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
Although the staff only broke a few of his bones, what hurt him more was that his pride was broken. Embarrassed in face of Sandaime Hokage, the fact that he flew out so easily made him lose his face, and the last thing he wants now is to lose his face in the face of oh-so-detestable Hokage!
Just as Hiruko wanted to fight back, several chains that were wrapped in some sort of Shadow appeared out of the ground and instantly restricted his movements. His feet bound to the ground, and his hands restricted by the chains too! But the chains wrapped in Shadow did not stop there and started coiling around him.
At the same time, he felt someone invading inside his consciousness and had to severely resist not to lose himself. Trying to resist mental invasion made Hiruko\'s face twist in pain.
But that wasn\'t it, the very next moment, Mitokado appeared behind Hiruko, he was carrying a very large scroll, and putting the scroll on the ground, he made hand signs and tapped on the ground.
After having completed the ritual, Hiruko\'s perception has obviously increased very much, and sensing the chakra fluctuations coming from his back, he suddenly felt a great threat.
He knows that if he doesn\'t do something immediately then it is very likely that he will die here!
So, Hiruko immediately looked up, the synthetic bird that was being bullied at the hands of Hyuga Brothers, Akimichi Patriarch, and several other Shinobi instantly swooped away from them and went towards him.
With the arrival of the synthetic bird, Hiruko\'s hands and legs suddenly exploded, breaking away the shadow chains, as well as his four limbs.
Now with all of his limbs gone, the leech stored within his body instantly took the empty place, and he leaped high up using those make-up limbs, landed on the half-injured bird\'s back, and hurriedly shouted, "Quickly go!"
As soon as he landed on the back of the synthetic bird, he immediately ordered it to go and did not even dare to look back.
BOOM…!
Just as he was going, the back of the synthetic bird suddenly exploded, but thankfully it wasn\'t that damaging and the bird could still continue its flight.
Hiruko never expected that even after having absorbed five Kekkei Genkai, he still couldn\'t manage to hold his own against those people, and had to retreat at the cost of sacrificing his four limbs!
