Talent System In The Naruto Universe-Chapter 201. Obito’s Mangekyō Sharingan

In the midst of the mist.

The Third Mizukage stood on the surface of the sea.

Blood seeped from his wounds, dripping into the water, staining the sea red.

But the Third Mizukage paid no heed, focusing intently on searching for Hanekawa.

At that moment, the sea was abruptly split apart.

A highly compressed water column, like a water blade, aimed to cut him in half.

With his attention fully concentrated, the Third Mizukage instinctively used the Body Flicker Technique.

His body shifted to the left, moving so fast that only an afterimage remained.

But in the next second, the afterimage was severed at the waist by the water blade.

A scream erupted.

A large amount of blood sprayed out.

The Third Mizukage looked down and saw that his left leg, unable to dodge in time, had been cut off by the water blade.

"Your luck is good, only losing one leg."

Hanekawa's voice echoed through the mist, "This is the Water Release: Water Severing Wave, a technique from the Second Hokage."

He was indeed telling the truth.

Surviving a sneak attack with the Water Release: Water Severing Wave was truly a stroke of luck.

Moreover, he had activated a 200% boost in Water Release ninjutsu power and a 100% increase in attack, speed, and defense with the Lightning Release Body.

The Third Mizukage's face turned pale as he quickly used chakra to roughly seal the wound, stopping the bleeding.

He also retrieved the severed leg.

As for what Hanekawa was saying, he could no longer process it.

He had only one thought now: to escape.

But he knew Hanekawa wouldn't let him leave easily.

The Third Mizukage's mind raced, and despite the pain, he used the Body Flicker Technique again.

He wasn't running away but heading towards the base.

The Third Mizukage's plan was to get help from Ao and Mei Terumī.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

The sea churned, and under Hanekawa's chakra, it formed a massive water dragon.

A strong sense of crisis surged.

The only thing the Third Mizukage was grateful for was that he had lost a leg, not an arm.

If he had lost an arm, it would be difficult to form hand seals.

Water Release: Water Wall!

After forming the seals, the Third Mizukage turned and ran, not caring if the technique had any effect.

The water dragon easily broke through the water wall and continued to chase him.

Water Release: Heavenly Weeping!

Hanekawa frowned slightly, gathering chakra in his mouth, then three water-colored silver needles shot out.

The sound of breaking wind echoed.

Water Release: Water Fang Blade!

The Third Mizukage judged it to be the sound of ninja tools and immediately formed a water blade in his hand.

He turned and swung, the water blade striking the three water needles.

But with a crack.

The water blade shattered.

One of the water needles passed through the blade, its momentum unchecked, and struck his shoulder.

"Ahhh!"

The Third Mizukage instinctively clutched his shoulder.

The intense pain caused his body to pause momentarily.

In the next second, the water dragon descended from above, engulfing him.

Water and blood mixed together, resembling a blooming rose.

In the base, the battling sides paused momentarily.

Since the Third Mizukage had run some distance, his screams reached their ears.

"Is that... the Mizukage's voice?"

Ao's eyes widened in disbelief.

Could it be that the Third Mizukage had lost to Hanekawa?

Mei Terumī's heart trembled violently.

She didn't want Hanekawa to die, but she also didn't want the Third Mizukage to perish.

"Save the Mizukage!"

Ao snapped out of his daze and shouted.

Mei Terumī turned and left without hesitation.

The twelve surviving ninjas of Kirigakure also retreated.

"Stop!"

Yūhi Kurenai shouted angrily.

Her battle with Mei Terumī had undoubtedly been at a disadvantage.

Though she was strong among her peers, she wasn't the top genius.

Mei Terumī clearly was.

Her Water Release, Boil Release, and Lava Release made it difficult for Kurenai to keep up.

Mei Terumī ignored Kurenai.

She had the chance to severely injure her, but thoughts of Hanekawa made her hold back unconsciously.

The view suddenly cleared.

Fourteen Kirigakure ninjas descended the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, they saw a scene they would never forget.

The nearly invincible Third Mizukage in their minds lay in a pool of blood.

"Lord Mizukage?!"

Ao immediately exclaimed.

Several Kirigakure ninjas launched attacks at Hanekawa.

Body Flicker Technique!

Hanekawa's body vanished from the spot.

Mei Terumī quickly reached the Third Mizukage, extending her hand to check his breath, and froze in place.

He was no longer breathing.

Mei Terumī never dreamed that the Third Mizukage would die at Hanekawa's hands.

But now was not the time to be stunned.

"Let's go!"

Mei Terumī used chakra to lift the Third Mizukage and ran.

Though some wanted to avenge the Third Mizukage, reason told them it was impossible.

Ao and the others followed without hesitation.

Hanekawa reappeared in front of Kurenai and the others.

He glanced around, spotting Nohara Rin, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hanekawa, are you hurt?"

Kurenai quickly stepped forward, grabbing his arm.

"I'm fine."

Hanekawa shook his head and smiled.

"You... you killed the Third Mizukage?"

Hyūga Hizashi's heart raced.

The remaining Hyūga clan ninjas also showed expressions of shock.

That was the Third Mizukage!

One of the five most powerful and respected ninjas in the shinobi world.

And now he had been killed by a teenager, which would send shockwaves throughout the entire shinobi world.

"So... so amazing!"

Nohara Rin, standing at the back, felt her mind go blank.

Her eyes sparkled with admiration, and her feelings for Hanekawa grew even more complex.

But when she saw Kurenai, Rin's eyes dimmed.

She instinctively lowered her head, sighing inwardly.

Kurenai clearly had feelings for Hanekawa.

[B-level Talent: I Am the Mizukage.]

[Trigger Condition: Kill the Third Mizukage.]

[Effect: All Water Release ninjutsu power increased by 100%.]

Hanekawa suddenly paused, looking at the three lines of text before him, a smile forming on his face.

Indeed, killing the Third Mizukage had granted him a new phrase.

Also a B-level trait, 'I Am the Mizukage' had no restrictions compared to 'Rain God'.

It was simply powerful and perfect!

With three Water Release phrases stacked, Hanekawa's Water Release ninjutsu power was boosted by an astonishing 300%.

This was undoubtedly the most powerful elemental technique he had mastered.

He estimated that with such a boost, the power of Water Release surpassed even the Kekkei Genkai Lava Release.

At that moment, the sound of breaking wind echoed.

Hanekawa instinctively turned, narrowing his eyes.

A figure approached from the distance, landing in front of them.

It was Uchiha Obito.

Though his size had increased, Hanekawa recognized him.

He wore a black robe and a white spiral-patterned mask.

This mask wasn't a real one but was formed by White Zetsu.

Uchiha Obito had been possessed by White Zetsu, hence the change in his physique.

"Who are you?"

Kurenai frowned slightly.

Uchiha Obito ignored her, his gaze fixed excitedly on Rin.

After half a year apart, he had thought of her day and night.

"Rin..."

Uchiha Obito instinctively stepped forward.

He didn't notice that his voice sounded hoarser than usual.

This was due to Tobi's influence.

But in Uchiha Obito's eyes, only Rin existed, so he overlooked it.

"Don't you dare hurt Hanekawa!"

Rin finally moved.

She used the Body Flicker Technique to block Hanekawa, simultaneously throwing two kunai.

"Wh... what?"

Uchiha Obito hadn't expected Rin to act this way.

He instinctively lowered his head, and the two kunai struck him.

However, they caused no damage, blocked by the White Zetsu covering his body.

But his heart was bleeding.

Rin could hurt him to protect Hanekawa.

A crimson flash.

Three tomoe appeared.

Uchiha Obito's Sharingan emitted a terrifying, dark aura.

"Sharingan?"

Kurenai's face showed surprise, and she instinctively asked, "Who are you?"

With the Sharingan, he was undoubtedly from the Uchiha clan.

But Uchiha Obito had appeared out of nowhere, not wearing the Konoha ninja vest or forehead protector, and was hiding his face.

"Why... why?"

Uchiha Obito stared intently at Rin.

"Because you're the enemy."

Rin answered without hesitation.

Hanekawa frowned.

There was something wrong with Rin!

It was understandable that she had stepped out to protect him.

But to immediately label Uchiha Obito as an enemy without knowing his identity was unlike her.

Hanekawa quickly stepped forward, grabbing her wrist and channeling chakra into her.

He was soon shocked.

It was a genjutsu!

When had she been caught in it?

Hanekawa immediately dispelled the genjutsu on Rin.

"I..."

Rin regained consciousness, her body going limp and falling back into Hanekawa's arms.

"Ahhh!"

Uchiha Obito's body trembled, and he let out a scream.

The scene before him made his eyes burn with rage.

His emotions instantly collapsed, an endless killing intent mixing together, forming a chilling wind.

Rin, seeing such a terrifying scene for the first time, instinctively tightened her grip on Hanekawa's arm.

Uchiha Obito, witnessing this, felt his world crumbling.

Pain! So much pain!

What meaning does this world have?

I will create a world without Hanekawa!

Uchiha Obito roared in agony, blood tears streaming uncontrollably from his eyes, the three tomoe trembling violently, then spinning.

All the chakra in his body gathered in his eyes, emitting a horrifying aura.

"Step back!"

Hanekawa's expression turned serious, "I'll handle him!"

"Hanekawa, be careful."

Rin said, only then realizing she was still in Hanekawa's arms.

She quickly let go, her face inevitably flushing.

Uchiha Obito, seeing this, became even more furious.

His eyes finally completed their transformation, the three tomoe connecting to form a unique pattern.

It was a boomerang.

As the pattern formed, a destructive power emanated from him.

His strength had undergone a qualitative leap.

Hanekawa's mouth twitched.

He finally understood Madara's plan.

It was to use the emotions between him and Rin to help Uchiha Obito awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan.

What could he say?

This plan was indeed simpler than the original.

After all, controlling Rin alone could achieve the desired effect.

But this was also good.

Because it meant Rin wouldn't be in danger.

Madara's goal was to make Uchiha Obito awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan; he didn't care about Kirigakure's fate.

"What's wrong with him?"

Kurenai asked, puzzled.

"His eyes..."

Hizashi showed a look of surprise.

These eyes felt too evil, sending chills down his spine.

And to his surprise, Uchiha Obito's mask seemed like his actual face; he couldn't see his true appearance.

Hanekawa narrowed his eyes, assessing Uchiha Obito's current strength.

First, the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Awakening the Mangekyō would grant him enhanced dynamic vision and ocular power.

Especially the awakening of unique ocular techniques.

He wondered if it would be Kamui, like in the original.

The only trouble was that Uchiha Obito now had dual Kamui.

Simply put, the right eye's Kamui was for intangibility, used for defense, while the left eye's Kamui was for teleportation, used for offense.

But there were weaknesses.

The right eye's Kamui had the flaw of needing to be tangible when absorbing or releasing objects, with a five-minute cooldown.

The left eye's Kamui was a long-range attack, but it had a long wind-up and required the target to be within line of sight.

Of course, this was assuming Uchiha Obito was proficient with dual Kamui.

Having just awakened it, he couldn't be proficient yet.

This meant his dual Kamui would be significantly weakened.

Second, Wood Release.

After transplanting White Zetsu, or more accurately, Hashirama's cells, he had learned Wood Release.

Additionally, he had strong regenerative abilities and reduced strain on his body from using the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Third, Fire Release.

This was his original ability, relatively the most ordinary.

A ninja's battle was a battle of intelligence.

Hanekawa already knew the intelligence and had so many phrase boosts.

If he couldn't defeat a newly awakened Uchiha Obito, he might as well crash into Tsunade's embrace and die.

On a distant mountain.

"Finally, the Mangekyō Sharingan has awakened."

Uchiha Madara watched the beast-like, frenzied Uchiha Obito and spoke slowly.

"To awaken it at such a young age, truly a rare talent."

White Zetsu praised, "Lord Madara's vision is indeed accurate."

"His heart is pure; once such a person falls, they become the most extreme darkness."

Madara smiled faintly, "This is undoubtedly the best candidate I could hope for."

He needed someone to execute the Eye of the Moon Plan after his death and then revive him.

Now, with this blow, Uchiha Obito would surely want to destroy the world, making him fully embrace the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

After all, within the Infinite Tsukuyomi, he could achieve everything he desired.

"Should we bring him back?"

White Zetsu asked.

"Not yet."

Madara shook his head, "Right now, he recognizes no one; you can't bring him back."

"What should we do then?"

White Zetsu asked again.

"Let him vent his emotions."

Madara said calmly, "And I'll see what ocular techniques he has gained."
