Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Chiba smiled.

Then, the illusion shattered.

Itachi covered his eyes, and blood slowly seeped out from between his fingers.

The strain on Chiba exceeded his expectations, and Chiba…

The guy's face was deathly pale, his forehead veins were bulging, and he was covered in cold sweat, looking like he had really been bewitched.

Absolutely!

Itachi covered his eyes and instantly returned to the shore.

"Walk."

"Mr. Itachi, aren't you going to kill him?"

Kisame frowned.

This child is only fourteen or fifteen years old, yet his strength is already so terrifying. If he continues to grow, he may become a hidden danger to the organization.

If we could kill him...

There was a stern look in his eyes.

"No, his mental strength is very strong, and my illusion did not work completely."

Itachi covered his eyes. "However, you can try using ninjutsu."

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Kurenai Yuhi panted.

They did gain some advantage in their attack on Kisame, but Kisame's weapon, which could absorb chakra, caused their physical strength to deplete rapidly.

Asuma squinted at the side.

This situation...

There was no other way. Luckily, I had realized how difficult the other party was and made preparations in advance.

He was just about to activate his Sage Mode—

The next instant, the river swelled, instantly transforming into a colossal wave that swallowed everything around it in the blink of an eye.

Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!

Immediately afterward, Kisame Hoshigaki slapped the surface of the water.

Four sharks leaped out of the water and charged toward Chiba, which was being swept away by the waves.

Asuma has become a sage.

Instantly appearing in front of Kisame Hoshigaki, his fist blade slashed diagonally like the wings of a soaring eagle. Kisame used Samehada to block, and although he successfully absorbed one of the chakra blades, but...

The next second, he felt a sense of loss of control over his entire body.

and.

Asma swiftly made another horizontal slash.

After one cut, a long, narrow gash was slit open in Kisame's abdomen.

"go!"

Itachi saw that Asuma was also emitting strange chakra, and he knew that Kisame was going to suffer this time. But how would Kisame know how powerful he was if he didn't experience it?

He had just recovered somewhat.

Seeing that Asuma was about to make another move, Kisame quickly withdrew his hand, released a weaker illusion, and then disappeared in an instant.

Asuma wasn't affected by the illusion, but on the other side of the river...

"Asma."

"coming!"

Asma turned his head and saw sharks thrashing about in the river.

This technique is immune to ordinary attacks, and coincidentally, Kurenai Yuhi has not yet learned any other elemental ninjutsu besides genjutsu and chakra scalpel.

She couldn't stop the shark at all.

Asuma had no choice but to teleport, using the Thousand Hands Killing Technique to protect his entire body, and instantly unleashing a series of invisible chakra fists.

Boom!

With the aid of Sage Mode chakra, the chakra attached to the sharks was quickly dispersed.

After temporarily dispelling part of the attack, Asuma used Fire Release to block the remaining portion.

"Where's Chiba?"

"I don't know, I just..."

"It's nothing, he's just unconscious. I'll take him to the hospital first."

A voice sounded.

Asma breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kakashi, why are you so late? If you had arrived earlier, we might have been able to keep them here."

"I'm sorry, but my business is also very important."

Kakashi sighed regretfully.

It was indeed a pity that no enemy was left behind, but what he found strange was that Chiba did not seem to be injured at all—at least his injuries were not severe enough to render him unable to fight.

what's the situation?

Kakashi was puzzled, but Chiba didn't explain, which meant that the matter needed to be kept secret. He picked up Chiba, said goodbye to Asuma and Kurenai, and then disappeared in a flash.

Chiba slowly "woke up" at Konoha Hospital.

"Kakashi-sensei, I'm alright now."

"..."

Kakashi blinked, then remained silent, pretending he hadn't noticed Chiba's weakness. He nodded slightly, "What happened? How did you get injured to that extent?"

"I was caught in Itachi Uchiha's special genjutsu."

Chiba explained.

Then, he looked at Kakashi and asked, "Teacher, do you know about the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Chapter 187 Inuzuka Hana: Why do I have to endure this torment?

"Mangekyō Sharingan?"

Kakashi pondered for a moment and said, "It's said that Madara's eyes used to be stronger than others; those eyes are what you call the Kaleidoscope?"

"That should be the case, and this isn't the first time I've encountered a kaleidoscope."

As Chiba spoke, he took out a sealing scroll.

Danzo's "relics".

Inside, there is a hand and a special Sharingan. Kakashi had already learned this from the Third Hokage. It turns out that Danzo gave Chiba a Mangekyou Sharingan.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan is the true secret to the Uchiha clan's strength. Every awakened eye possesses incredible power. Danzo's eyes belonged to Shisui and possessed the ability to manipulate others through genjutsu."

"Itachi's eyes are incredibly terrifying illusionary spaces, but his techniques can be broken as long as you don't make eye contact. In comparison, Shisui's are far more terrifying."

Chiba revealed as much information as he knew.

It can control other people's eyes.

Kakashi was silent for a few seconds, then said, "Just like you said, it might bring a lot of burden, but the effect will definitely be strong. I still need to study it further."

Kakashi looked at Chiba. Before, he wouldn't have thought Chiba knew much about the Sharingan, but after fighting Itachi, given Chiba's analytical abilities...

……

Kakashi suddenly realized, and many of his doubts were immediately resolved.

Perhaps they really did get a lot of information from Itachi.

The Sharingan has such side effects?

"I don't know. It might be Itachi's own condition, but the Mangekyou Sharingan requires stronger ocular power to support it, which will further increase the burden on the body and brain."

No wonder Danzo wanted to take it from Shisui.

Kakashi nodded, then he couldn't help but sigh softly, "You were right. I have so much to learn right now, I don't have time to teach Naruto and Sasuke."

Chiba was very surprised to discover that Itachi was an undercover agent.

It's impossible for someone who isn't a Kaleidoscope user to know this information, but it's a fact that Itachi's mental and physical condition is poor.

The answer is obvious.

Then, he rubbed his head and muttered to himself, "The Mangekyou Sharingan, a special technique..."

After performing at the hospital for a while, Chiba left the hospital in the afternoon and went to the Hokage Building.

“Every power comes at a price. I have sensed Itachi’s mental state, and he may have some kind of brain disease.”

As Chiba said, even if one could master it, the side effects would be unbearable.

Chiba's expression was extremely serious. "As someone who is not from the Uchiha clan, can your body withstand its power?"

The third generation asked a similar question, and Chiba answered with the same words as before, adding a series of his own doubts.

"This……"

If I were to raise my eye power to the Kaleidoscope level, based on my physical condition and the three-tomoe state, I would probably only be able to use eye techniques two or three times at most.

original……

the most important is--

Even the three-tomoe Sharingan is under a heavy burden, let alone the Mangekyou Sharingan.
