Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 489 Battle Two

P.S.: Updated first, revised later.

"Is this... about to use a pupil technique?"

In Toshiro's eyes, a pair of blood-red Mangekyou Sharingan rotated slightly, intently watching Tendo's every move.

Under his observation, the opponent's chakra was gathering in large quantities in the area around his eyes.

As the possessor of a dojutsu (eye technique), Toshiro is very clear about what these represent.

It is a sign that the pupil technique will be used.

His left eye was wide open, and thin lines of crimson blood slid down the corner of his eye.

Toshiro was completely unaware of all of this.

He widened his Sharingan to its maximum, attempting to use his eye technique to copy the opponent's Shinra Tensei.

brush!

With a flash, Toshiro, who was freefalling in the sky, disappeared without a trace.

When it reappeared, it was already next to the Kusanagi Sword.

With another flash, the figure was already standing some distance away, on the back of the Mountain Eagle.

Meanwhile, an invisible force field formed around the Heavenly Dao.

Just as Toshiro's Dragon Fire Technique was about to strike him, Tendo used his eye technique to deflect all the flames.

As for those diamond chains...

Without Toshiro's chakra to sustain it, it had begun to slowly dissipate.

"pity…"

After wiping the bloodstains from the corner of his eye, Toshiro's eyes revealed a hint of regret.

"The Rinnegan's eye techniques are indeed not so easy to learn..."

With the Rinnegan right in front of him, and it was unleashing its power without any restraint, how could he not try out his own eye technique?

But as for the result…

It can't be said that it's completely useless.

However… the opponent’s eye technique seemed too advanced. Even though I could remember every minute change in chakra when the opponent used the eye technique, I couldn’t.

However, it is still somewhat difficult to imitate.

On the one hand, this pupil technique is too advanced; after just one observation, I couldn't see it clearly.

However, this is not a problem. He believes that Nagato will use this ninjutsu again in this battle, and he will have plenty of opportunities to perfectly replicate the secret of this eye technique.

Another issue is that the level of this eye technique is too high.

After all, it's a Rinnegan eye technique. To use it with the Eternal Eye, the energy consumption is high, and another factor is the strength of one's own eye.

It is still quite different from the Rinnegan.

It's possible to force it, but it will cause some damage to the eyes, and it shouldn't be used frequently.

Otherwise, his eternal eye might very well run into problems.

"This is... the Flying Thunder God Technique~"

Having just deflected Toshiro's attack, she saw that in the blink of an eye, she was back on the back of her summoning beast.

After a moment's thought, Tiandao knew that the opponent was using the Fourth Hokage's signature technique, the Flying Thunder God Technique.

I never expected that the Fifth Hokage would also know this ninjutsu.

And... he's so skilled at it.

Toshiro has had the Flying Thunder God Technique for nearly seven years, although he has no intention of making it his primary fighting style.

However, he did not abandon this ninjutsu.

I have been practicing this ninjutsu for so many years.

Previously, hand seals were required to perform this technique, but after so many years of repeated practice, I have finally honed this ninjutsu to the point of being able to use it with ease.

Whoosh!

Chakra surged in his hands, and Pain's power increased dramatically. He hurled the black rod in his hand like a javelin.

The target was none other than Zuo Shandiao.

Meanwhile, his hands continued to move.

"The Guiding Force of All Things"

This created another pulling force, which held the eagle's body in place, and it slowly began to fall.

Meanwhile, high in the sky, a large amount of explosive clay came crashing down.

"They really have great teamwork!"

Should we intercept that black rod, or attack the Heavenly Dao again to interrupt its pupil technique?

There were also clay bombs in the sky.

"Itachi, don't rush, there will be plenty of opportunities to use your eye techniques later~"

Itachi had already narrowed his left eye and was staring intently at Deidara high in the sky, clearly preparing to unleash his eye technique.

Toshiro interrupted the other person.

With the will of Heaven present, it is clearly impossible to simply walk away.

If we don't stay and have a proper fight with them, this matter probably won't be over yet.

"How's it going... you've run out of shuriken and kunai, haven't you?"

"Hmm! Now you're all to truly appreciate my art!"

Deidara, flying high in the sky, saw Itachi stop throwing shuriken and kunai, knowing that the opponent had run out of consumable weapons.

They were overjoyed, completely unaware that they were recklessly courting death.

"Should I intercept the leader's attack, or once again intercept my art?"

"You ignorant fools who have no appreciation for the beauty of art."

"This time, I'm going to show you what a moment of brilliance truly is!"

Sitting atop his clay bird, Deidara was still excited about the magnificent art that was about to unfold.

"This guy seems a little too excited~"

I caught a glimpse of Deidara from afar.

This guy dares to stare at them so brazenly. Does he think he's far enough away that they can't do anything to him?

"This is... the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Deidara, who was enjoying himself in the sky, suddenly froze, then turned pale with fright.

"untie!"

Without hesitation, he formed hand seals, disrupting his own chakra flow.

"This guy's illusion magic can project over such a long distance?"

"No... it must be a Sharingan eye technique, otherwise ordinary genjutsu wouldn't be effective at this distance."

Without hesitation, Deidara manipulated the clay bird and raised it to a greater height.

The opponent's illusion is too dangerous; it's best to stay further away.

"Tch...do you think this will work?"

With a smirk, Toshiro dismissed Deidara's caution.

The illusion that I specially developed, which uses the refraction of water molecules in the air, is not so easy to break.

At this distance, Itachi would likely have to expend a great deal of his eye power to hit Deidara, but for himself...

A simple illusion spell will suffice.

After glancing at Deidara, Toshiro continued what he was doing.

The Kusanagi sword, gleaming with a soft white light, began to extend rapidly under his control.

After deftly deflecting the black rod's attack with the tip of the sword, the blade twisted and thrust towards the direction of the Heavenly Dao.

"This guy... seems to know a lot about my abilities?"

Recalling the Hokage's response, a question arose in Nagato's mind.

"Could these be the special features of the Sharingan?"

Seeing the crimson light in the other's eyes, Nagato could only console himself with this thought.

He had never fought against a master of pupil techniques before, and could only attribute the opponent's current unusual behavior to the wonder of their pupil techniques.

Once again halting her eye technique to deflect the opponent's sword thrust, Nagato began to realize that this enemy might not be so easy to defeat.

"I really underestimated these so-called shadows."

I don't know if it was because Hanzo of the Salamander was weak in combat, or because the Fourth Mizukage was easily controlled by Madara.

Nagato had never taken the Kage's strength seriously.

They believed that most of these films were nothing special.

With his Rinnegan and the help of the Six Paths of Pain, he can sweep away any enemy that stands in his way.

After only a few rounds of fighting today, he realized that he was probably in for a tough battle.

The altitude has dropped considerably, now only about five or six hundred meters above the ground.

"Mountain Eagle, find a place to land!"

"I broke through the Heavenly Dao's attack with a single sword strike," Toshiro said to the Mountain Eagle.

"Then you can go back and take care of the kids!"

This constant entanglement isn't a solution, so Toshiro decides to meet Nagato, who claims to be a god.

If this guy doesn't work, I won't be polite about those Rinnegan eyes in his eyes.

"Isn't this... a bit disloyal?"

Upon hearing Toshiro's words, Zuo Shandiao hesitated.

It couldn't accept leaving its companion behind and departing alone.

How could a sea eagle with intelligence do such a despicable thing?

"You...have you been hanging out with those toads from Mount Myōboku too much lately?"

"They don't learn the good things, but they learn things like brotherhood and loyalty very quickly."

There is some connection between the summoned beasts.

The Mountain Eagle, an enormous bird of prey, somehow managed to get in touch with the toads of Mount Myōboku.

That's not all; he even mingled with Gamabunta, who was also a giant toad.

Last time, I even asked him for a drink, and he gave me a severe scolding.

Why bother with all this talk of brotherhood and loyalty at a time like this?

"Hurry up and find a place to drop us off, then go back to where you came from!"

If it were any other opponent, it would be good to bring Zuo Shandiao along to broaden his horizons.

However, this time it's facing the Six Paths of Pain, and if it's brought along, its fate probably won't be good.

"But...Chūbeimaru always brags to me..."

Despite being rejected by Toshiro, Zuo Shandiao was still somewhat unwilling to give up, and he had a conversation with Chubeimaru.

That guy always brags about how he and Toshiro fought against the Nine-Tails, the Eight-Tails, and the Raikage brothers.

As for myself, the only thing I can offer is a means of transportation…

"In that case... be careful yourself~"

I've been using Zhongbingmaru to climb the ranks all the time, and I've completely overlooked this guy.

"However... you lack practical experience and your ninjutsu isn't very smooth. If anything goes wrong, just cancel the summoning and dodge."

Seeing that Zuo Shandiao was somewhat hesitant, Toshiro felt embarrassed to drive him away, and simply told him to be careful.

It wasn't that he didn't want to fight with Zuo Shandiao.

This creature, being his first summoned beast, didn't possess intelligence for very long.

In its early years, when it lacked strength and needed help, it gained a general understanding of chakra. Apart from its instinct for flight, it was completely incompetent in combat.

Over the years, my strength has increased significantly, and the enemies I've encountered have also become much more sophisticated.

Even for Chubeimaru, the opportunities to help are becoming fewer and fewer, let alone for it.
