Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

Although the pattern in those eyes was different from Itachi's, Sasuke was absolutely certain that it was the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Sasuke is unaware that above the Mangekyou Sharingan lies the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and that Chiga's pair is precisely the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

It is a flower that never fades, representing the absolute power of the Uchiha clan.

Sasuke stared blankly at those eerily beautiful eyes, his mind completely blank.

Chiga raised an eyebrow at Sasuke's reaction, wondering if Sasuke had been scared out of his wits. He was quite brave when facing Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan in the anime!

However, Chiga underestimated the destructive power of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan against ordinary Sharingan.

Keep in mind that he is the one who awakened the twelve-tomoe Rinnegan, and the power of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan has reached its peak. His ability to suppress Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan is beyond mere level suppression; it's practically a dimensional reduction attack!

Chapter 301 Erzhuzi Gets Beaten Up Again

Just as Sasuke was being suppressed and unable to move by Chiga, Yamato and Sakura arrived. Upon seeing Chiga, they both called out simultaneously,

"Senior Chiga!"

Sasuke paused for a moment when he heard how they addressed Chiga, then looked at Chiga's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and a name popped into his mind.

"Chika? You're Uchiha Chika?!"

Sasuke was no stranger to this name, because he often heard it from Itachi when he was a child, and Itachi's tone when mentioning Chiga was clearly very respectful.

Itachi once said to young Sasuke with a look of longing,

"Sasuke, today Senpai Chiga told me that the Hokage is someone who is recognized by everyone, not someone who has to become Hokage to gain everyone's recognition. Do you think he's right?"

Sasuke was too young to understand the meaning of those words, and his answer was...

"Brother, I'm hungry!"

Itachi could only shake his head helplessly and drag Sasuke to eat his favorite three-colored dumplings.

There are many similar scenes. Thinking of these, Sasuke couldn't help but smile, but it was quickly replaced by hatred.

Anyone Itachi respects is definitely not a good person! Especially since Chiga has awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan!

Sasuke thought that Chiga had most likely participated in the massacre of the Uchiha clan back then, and perhaps that's when her Mangekyou Sharingan was activated!

Sasuke's expression grew increasingly ferocious, his Sharingan flashing with a crimson light.

Chiga was completely baffled, wondering what was wrong with Sasuke this time? He seemed to have been injected with adrenaline after learning his name.

All I can say is, he truly lives up to his name, Erzhuzi!

Sasuke roared angrily, and the cursed seal on his neck began to spread rapidly in all directions. Sasuke's skin darkened, and a pair of "wings" grew from his back.

He has already activated the second form of the Heavenly Curse Seal, hoping to use its power to clash with Chiga, who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Sasuke pressed his hand down, and black lightning appeared accompanied by a piercing bird cry. His wings flapped violently, and he charged towards Chiga at incredible speed.

"Chidori!"

This situation seemed so familiar to both Chika and Naruto; Sasuke had encountered Itachi in Konoha back then, and it was in a similar state.

Of course, the result was the same.

Chiga raised his leg and kicked Sasuke with perfect accuracy in the abdomen, sending him flying into the rock wall.

Sasuke was nearly knocked unconscious by the kick. He struggled to get out of the wall, clutching his abdomen and spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

When he looked at Chiga again, his eyes were filled with apprehension.

He had just used his full strength to unleash Chidori, yet it was still so easily neutralized by Chiga. The difference in their strength was simply too great!

Sakura looked at Sasuke's miserable state, her face showing heartache. She called out to Sasuke...

"Sasuke! Come back! We all miss you!"

Naruto didn't want to see Sasuke continue to get beaten up, so he shouted along as well.

"Sasuke! Senpai Chiga is your clansman. With him around, no one in the village will dare to cause you trouble!"

After Naruto met with the Fourth Hokage, his attitude towards some of Konoha's high-ranking officials underwent a subtle change; he no longer had the unconditional trust he once had.

Sasuke was deeply moved by the sincerity on Naruto and Sakura's faces, but his obsession with revenge had surpassed everything else. He would never think of returning to Konoha before he had completed his revenge.

Moreover, Naruto's words just now hurt his pride. He has been staying here for three years, spending every day training. What is the purpose of all this?

Isn't it all about improving one's own strength and becoming more powerful?

Letting him return to Konoha by relying on his so-called clansmen is worse than killing him.

Sasuke roared at Naruto.

"Are you kidding me? I don't need to rely on anyone now! And I don't need any so-called kin!!!"

Naruto's expression froze, realizing he had said the wrong thing, and his eyes instinctively turned to Chiga.

He has now become dependent on Chiga's existence because Chiga possesses unimaginable power, and more importantly, Chiga is his father's best friend and has also revealed the whole truth to him!

Even Jiraiya couldn't do this last point, so Naruto has placed Chiga in an extremely important position in his heart and trusts Chiga completely.

Chiga didn't notice Naruto's fatherly gaze. He slowly approached Sasuke, his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan looking down at him.

Under the pressure of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke's mental defenses were on the verge of collapse. He let out a hysterical scream and used Chidori again, trying to destroy those nightmarish eyes.

Chiga had lost patience with Sasuke. He lifted his leg and stomped heavily on Sasuke's back, knocking him to the ground.

With a slight pressure on his foot, Sasuke let out a scream and completely lost consciousness.

Chiga bent down, grabbed Sasuke by the shoulder, and lifted him up. Then, turning to Naruto, she tossed Sasuke over to him.

"then."

Naruto was still in a daze and didn't even realize what was happening when Sasuke fell right in front of him, bouncing a few times on the ground and letting out a soft groan of pain.

Naruto then came to his senses and quickly bent down to carry Sasuke on his back. Feeling the familiar aura emanating from Sasuke, a smile appeared on Naruto's face.

Chiga's lips twitched a few times, thinking to himself, "Sakura and Hinata? Sasuke is definitely your true love!"

Seeing this, Sakura quickly went to Naruto's side and reached out to help treat Sasuke, but was stopped by Chiga.

"Don't do anything unnecessary, just keep him dizzy!"

Sakura trembled, her outstretched hand freezing in mid-air. Seeing this, Naruto quickly said...

"Sakura, let's listen to Senpai Chiga. If Sasuke wakes up, things might get complicated..."

At this point, Naruto glanced at Chiga, his meaning quite clear: if Sasuke woke up, he would get another beating from Chiga.

Sakura understood Naruto's meaning and could only silently lower her arms, gazing at Sasuke with deep affection.

Naruto felt a pang of heartache and sighed silently in his heart.

At this moment, Yamato, who had been ignored by everyone for a long time, suddenly looked at Chiga and asked,

"Senior Chiga, are you coming back with us?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto suddenly looked up at Chiga, his eyes pleading. He desperately wanted Chiga to return to Konoha with him.

During the time Chiga was there, he felt an unparalleled sense of security, and he truly couldn't bear to see Chiga leave.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Qian He chuckled and said,

"Of course I want to go back, but I don't know if some people will welcome me."

Chapter 302 Return to Konoha

In the dimly lit basement, Sai was kneeling before Danzo, reporting to him what had happened at the Tenchi Bridge.

As he listened, Danzo's perpetually unchanging zombie-like face finally broke down.

"What?! Uchiha Chika is back?! And she's awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan???"

Sai didn't look up, and said in a low voice.

"Yes."

"Damn it, these Uchiha are impossible to get rid of. And since Uchiha Chika didn't die back then, why didn't he go back to the village?"

Sai kept his head down. He didn't know what had happened back then, so he couldn't answer Danzo.

Danzo didn't expect Sai to answer; he seemed to be talking to himself.

"This Uchiha Chika has actually awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. That makes sense, he was considered a genius among the Uchiha back then."

Thinking of the Mangekyou Sharingan, a greedy glint appeared in Danzo's eyes. He even understood the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan better than many members of the Uchiha clan.

These are eyes with infinite possibilities, capable of giving birth to all sorts of incredible pupil techniques.

His right eye is now the Mangekyou Sharingan transplanted from Shisui. Even without mentioning Kotoamatsukami, an extremely powerful eye technique, the eye power contained within it amazed Danzo. And this is with only one Mangekyou Sharingan!

Of course, if it were two kaleidoscopes, Danzo might not be able to handle them.

He wasn't a member of the Uchiha clan after all. If it weren't for the Hashirama cells implanted in his body, let alone the Mangekyou Sharingan, even a single three-tomoe Sharingan would have been enough to give him a hard time.

Just look at Kakashi to see this. His original chakra reserves were among the best of all Jonin, but after transplanting Obito's Sharingan, he became a chakra-starved prince.

When I first started using Shenwei, it was so powerful that it could send me straight to the hospital.

By the way, Kakashi is currently in the hospital because he used Kamui.

Danzo remained silent for a moment, then asked Sai,

Did Uchiha Chiga use any Mangekyou Sharingan techniques? What were their approximate effects?

"I'm sorry, I didn't see him use any eye techniques. He just glanced at the berserk Naruto and calmed him down."

"Is that so? Hmm, the Sharingan itself has a restraining effect on tailed beasts, so it's not surprising that Uchiha Chika could do that... However, the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki was too close to him!"

In Danzo's view, if Chiga were to control the Nine-Tails, it would be a disaster for Konoha that would be several times more severe than the Nine-Tails' rampage back then!

Thinking of the Nine-Tails' destructive power, Danzo's face turned extremely ugly, but Sai suddenly spoke at that moment.

"Lord Danzo, I want to stay in Team 7."

"Ok?"

Danzo glanced at Sai in surprise. In his eyes, Sai had always been a mission machine, never having any thoughts of his own except to carry out the tasks he was given. He had never made any requests like this before.

The kaleidoscope under his bandages slowly rotated, as he tried to check if Sai was being controlled by Chiga.
