46 Chapter 46: This new subordinate is a bit rebellious
Mangekyo Sharingan.
This is the pinnacle of the evolution of the Sharingan, a top tier Kekkei Genkai.
If a person possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan, then they have the potential to contend with opponents of the level of a Hokage, easily becoming a top-tier ninja.
The Mangekyō Sharingan represents a transformative evolution, significantly enhancing the illusionary abilities of the regular Sharingan, enabling control over Tailed Beasts through illusions.
Moreover, each Mangekyō Sharingan possesses a unique and powerful Dojutsu, a power beyond the imagination of ordinary ninjas... for example, Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami!
With a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, one can even awaken stronger Dojutsu, like the green Susanoo once used by Uchiha Shisui!
Of course, there are significant limitations to the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Excessive use of its techniques can deplete its power, leading to permanent blindness.
Unfortunately...
Akihara Kagura has only obtained one Mangekyō Sharingan. To gain more powerful Dojutsu, he must find a way to acquire the other eye.
The system is a bit stingy.
Hatake Kakashi is a renowned figure throughout the ninja world!
In a previous life, Hatake Kakashi was an iconic character. Working for Kakashi, the welcome package surprisingly contained only one Mangekyō Sharingan.
Loyal to Konoha, contributing to the village's future, doesn't this "Eye of Bond (Left)" characteristic force one to switch allegiance to another boss?
To obtain the "Eye of Bonds (Right)" and a complete pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, one must work for another boss, who is not a good person!
Well...
This is also within my plans.
Akihara Kagura changes his clothes and equipment while trying to feel any changes in his left eye, to avoid others noticing its anomaly.
Perhaps because the system's reward is directly from an innate Kekkei Genkai, rather than an external transplant, Akihara Kagura can feel that his brain can switch between the Mangekyō Sharingan and normal vision.
This left eye...
What amazing Dojutsu does it possess?
[System Prompt]: Based on the host's inner will, the Mangekyō Sharingan's Dojutsu is awakening... Successful awakening! "Eye of Bond (Left)" has been replaced with a new trait "Mangekyō Sharingan (Left)", congratulations on acquiring the new skill "Limited Tsukuyomi"!
[Mangekyō Sharingan (Left)]: Has strong observation, copying, and hypnosis abilities. Enhances observation, strengthens the ability to cast and see through illusions, can copy physical techniques and non-bloodline ninja techniques, and even hypnotize Tailed Beasts. It includes the Dojutsu Limited Tsukuyomi.
[Limited Tsukuyomi (An Dojutsu within the Mangekyō Sharingan)]: When used on an enemy, it creates a new illusionary world based on the enemy's life and the host's will. Using the power of space-time, the enemy's true body is pulled into the illusionary world. If the enemy cannot escape the fate of the illusionary world or defeat the host, they will be lost in the illusionary world forever.
[System Prompt]: ① Using Limited Tsukuyomi requires at least SSS-level chakra! ② Excessive use of Limited Tsukuyomi will lead to blindness of the Mangekyō Sharingan! ③ If the host awakens "Eye of Bonds (Right)" and gains a new Mangekyō Sharingan, the power of Limited Tsukuyomi will be greatly enhanced!
"..."
I seem to have seen this Dojutsu before!
But it doesn't seem like the technique I should be awakening!
Akihara Kagura feels that this Dojutsu is somewhat special and might become his trump card, potentially more efficient at dealing with enemies than Wood Release.
Certainly, the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai was enhanced due to Tenzo, and Akihara Kagura felt that he could manipulate the Wood Release chakra as easily as his own limbs, even without the constraint of hand seals, and could create new Wood Release ninja techniques based on his own ideas!
Now...
He had achieved the purpose of coming to the Anbu to report, and the welcome gifts from his two new supervisors were quite fruitful.
It was time to move on to the next plan, to bring some trouble to the mysterious masked man hiding in Konoha, and make this future new boss come to him proactively!
Just right...
In this Anbu changing room, there was someone who could trouble the mysterious masked man!
"Tenzo, that's the name, right?"
Akihara Kagura, having dressed himself, turned his eyes to Tenzo, who had been kindly guiding him, and spoke, "Want to know why I was late this morning?"
"What reason?"
Tenzo curiously looked at the young man before him.
"Find a quiet place?"
Akihara Kagura raised his eyebrows and continued, "Or maybe it's better to find a place to talk after completing the mission."
...
Tenzo slowly turned to look at Hatake Kakashi, seeking help from this senpai, as he had never been alone with Akihara Kagura before.
At this moment, Tenzo urgently needed Hatake Kakashi's help.
Following his gaze, Akihara Kagura turned to Hatake Kakashi and invited, "If Kakashi-senpai is free, he could also help as a referee, even if he is biased towards Tenzo during the judgment."
"You guys go and perform the task of protecting Lord Hokage."
Hatake Kakashi waved his hand to send a group of Anbu ninjas out, instructing, "If there are any orders, come and tell me immediately, I will handle their problems first."
The group of Anbu ninjas filed out.
Now, only the three of them were left in the entire Anbu changing room.
Akihara Kagura sat in the changing room, casually delivering a message: "Last night, someone secretly used Wood Release to kill Aburame Tatsuma from the Root and dumped him at the Root base. Lord Danzo called me over for questioning, and I admitted that I did it."
"..."
Tenzō's expression changed.
"You killed Tatsuma-senpai?"
Fear and unease flashed through Tenzō's eyes.
This kid...
He's trying to scare me!
"..."
Hatake Kakashi also looked upset, seemingly thinking of something unpleasant: "Killing your own comrade, is that what you wanted to tell us?"
"But..."
"It wasn't me."
Akihara Kagura stared intently at Tenzō, unflinchingly continuing: "Someone used Wood Release to kill Aburame Tatsuma and threw him into the Root base, framing me, to drive a wedge between me and Lord Danzo. Only you..."
"It wasn't me!"
Tenzō quickly shook his head and retorted: "I was on a mission last night, and others in my class can vouch for me..."
"But, it wasn't me either."
Akihara Kagura looked at Tenzō, spreading his palms: "If I wanted to kill Aburame Tatsuma, I wouldn't need to bring up this matter, right? Even if I killed him in front of Lord Danzo, there wouldn't be any punishment..."
"Team Leader Tenzō."
"In the whole of Konoha, or even the entire ninja world, only the two of us can use Wood Release ninjutsu. Could there be anyone else with Wood Release Kekkei Genkai?"
"..."
Tenzo felt that he was at a loss for words.
"Maybe not."
Hatake Kakashi slightly raised his eyes and explained, "The S-class rogue ninja of the village, Orochimaru, the guy who uses you for human experiments, it's not impossible for him to create a new Wood Release Kekkei Genkai ninja..."
"..."
Akihara Kagura was a bit speechless.
I wanted to cause trouble for my new boss, not for you to trouble my old boss!
"I'm very curious about something."
Hatake Kakashi looked at Akihara Kagura and continued, "It wasn't you who killed Aburame Tatsuma, so why didn't you clarify the so-called truth to Shimura Danzo?"
"If I had denied it, Lord Danzo would no longer trust me."
"Because the person who used this incident to frame me was trying to drive a wedge between me and Lord Danzo, and it's very likely that it was done by you guys."
Akihara Kagura looked back at Hatake Kakashi, unafraid, "Admitting to killing Aburame Tatsuma is just a trivial matter; losing Lord Danzo's trust is the real issue for me."
Akihara Kagura turned to Tenzo and said, "Team Leader Tenzo, I have already taken the blame for this in front of Lord Danzo, so I'll remember this debt."
"..."
Tenzo's face turned pale, feeling truly wronged.
This new subordinate, why did he just throw a black pot on my head as soon as he arrived!
