Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

Chizuru hadn't expected to be ambushed by Kirito. Now that her chakra was sealed, the intoxicating feeling of power was interrupted, which immediately made her feel a strong dissatisfaction with Kirito. She said coldly.

At the same time, she looked at Kirito with her Mangekyou Sharingan, staring into his eyes.

At this moment, she really wanted to try to control Kirito using illusion magic.

After her pupil power surged, her abilities in Yin Release and Illusion were also greatly enhanced.

She finally understood why her grandfather's Sharingan and genjutsu were so powerful; her grandfather's Sharingan must have evolved as well.

"Uchiha Chizuru, wake up right now! Don't let the power of your eyes control you. Take a good look at your eyes. Can you still see me clearly now?"

Upon hearing Chizuru's disgruntled shout and seeing her malicious Mangekyou Sharingan, Kirito frowned and reprimanded her loudly.

This was the first time Chizuru had been loudly reprimanded by Kirito in front of so many people. She was shocked and her mind, which had been confused by the powerful force, finally came to its senses. She then subconsciously listened to Kirito's words and checked her eyes.

Soon, Chizuru's expression changed drastically; she discovered that her eyesight had deteriorated significantly.

She was now about ten meters away from Kirito. In the past, she could have seen him clearly from that distance, even the fine lines on his clothes. But now, Kirito looked somewhat blurry.

"How could this be? Is this the price I have to pay for using my newly transformed Sharingan? Yes, how could there be no price to pay for suddenly gaining such great power?"

Chizuru finally understood the price that came with power.

This price terrifies her now, because she knows all too well the importance of eyes to a ninja, and she knows the terrible consequences that a decline in Sharingan vision would bring.

There is never any power that can be easily obtained without diligent cultivation; the use of any power comes at a price.

Chapter 268: Grandfather and grandson meet, and the final words

Kirito noticed the change in Chizuru's expression and realized that Chizuru had understood the price of using the Mangekyou Sharingan and had finally come to her senses after being so engrossed in its power. Kirito breathed a huge sigh of relief.

This Mangekyou Sharingan is truly an ominous object; it has a tremendous influence on its holder, and one can easily be bewitched by it if one is not careful.

Chizuru's state just now clearly showed that she was bewitched by it, and she was already showing signs of falling into depravity.

Fortunately, he still held a certain place in Chizuru's heart; otherwise, his words probably wouldn't have been able to bring her to her senses.

"It seems you've already understood the side effects of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Its power is indeed very strong, but it's not without its price. This kind of power, born from pain and hatred, is inherently a bad thing. If you use it too much, you'll not only go blind, but you'll also go insane. Madara Uchiha is the best example."

Kirito said seriously.

Kaleidoscope Sharingan!

Madara Uchiha!

Kirito's uninhibited words immediately surprised many of the Konoha ninjas around him.

Without a doubt, what Kirito just said was highly classified. Many Konoha ninjas had no idea what the Mangekyou Sharingan was, let alone that Madara Uchiha was the holder of the Mangekyou Sharingan. Some people didn't even know who Madara Uchiha was.

"It seems there are secrets about the Mangekyou Sharingan that I don't know about. How did Kirito find out about it? Could it be from Homura Uchiha? This kind of secret should be Konoha's top secret."

Upon hearing Kirito's words, Orochimaru instinctively looked at Uchiha Homura, who was bound by blue chakra chains.

Having seen Uchiha Homura many times in Konoha, he naturally had a way of identifying the Uchiha clan leader's chakra.

In fact, when he first started fighting Uchiha Homura, he tried to persuade him to stop with words. However, Uchiha Homura immediately unleashed his ultimate move, using Susanoo to wreak havoc on the eastern front. He had no choice but to lead his men in a counterattack.

"Kirito, what exactly is going on? Tell me everything you know. Grandpa is clearly dead, so why is he here and attacking us?"

Chizuru, upon hearing Kirito reveal the secret of her own eyes, immediately realized that Kirito was hiding many things from her, and loudly questioned him.

"Where did Kirito learn so many secrets of the Uchiha clan? Did Mito Uzumaki tell him? No, the secrets of the Mangekyou Sharingan should only be known by a very small number of clan members who have obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan. Outsiders couldn't possibly know."

Uchiha Homura's spirit was also greatly surprised, never expecting that Kirito knew so many secrets of the Uchiha clan.

The secret that overuse of the Mangekyou Sharingan would lead to vision loss was something he, the Uchiha clan leader, only learned after obtaining the Mangekyou Sharingan. As for the clan's records about the Mangekyou Sharingan, there were very few, as if most of them had been deliberately removed.

Uchiha Homura expressed his understanding, saying that if it were him, the fewer people who knew the secret that the Mangekyou Sharingan had side effects, the better, because this secret could potentially become a weapon to kill Mangekyou Sharingan ninjas.

For example, the enemy could take advantage of this weakness and try to use other physical means to accelerate the vision deterioration of the Mangekyou Sharingan ninja, thereby causing the Mangekyou Sharingan to quickly become useless and unable to use its exclusive eye techniques and Susanoo.

The vision loss caused by the Mangekyou Sharingan is permanent. To date, Homura Uchiha has secretly tried various methods but has been unable to restore his vision.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. I'll explain it to you in detail when I get back after I've finished dealing with things here."

Kirito sighed.

Some secrets cannot be hidden forever. Now that Chizuru has awakened her Mangekyou Sharingan, she will definitely try various methods to understand it. With her abilities, she will be able to find some clues sooner or later.

At that time, she might come into contact with Madara Uchiha and be bewitched.

Rather than that, it would be better to reveal some of the secrets and let her understand what the Mangekyou Sharingan truly is.

"Damn Kirito Tohsaka."

Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha, through the reanimated body of Homura Uchiha, heard Kirito say that he was crazy, and was very unhappy. He decisively accelerated and controlled the two reanimated puppets, the Second Raikage and the Second Tsuchikage, to rescue the Second Mizukage and the Second Tsuchikage.

The Second Raikage possessed astonishing speed thanks to his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and at that moment, he could already see the sand pyramid that Kirito had used to seal the Second Mizukage in the distance.

Some Konoha ninja who remained at the sand pyramid quickly spotted the Second Raikage, and one of the elite Jonin immediately shouted, "Who goes there? Stop right now!"

However, even though the Second Raikage is now in Edo Tensei form and his strength is far less than in his prime, he can still easily overwhelm any ninja below the Kage level by using his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

In an instant, many of the Konoha ninjas who remained at the sand pyramid only had time to see a dazzling glint of light before they were sent flying. When they landed again, all the bones in their bodies were shattered, and they were beyond dead.

In no time, the Second Raikage had killed all the Konoha ninja who remained at the sand pyramid, and he began to violently destroy the sand pyramid in an attempt to break the seal.

A powerful lightning ninjutsu was instantly unleashed from the Second Raikage's hand.

It was a huge white thunder dragon, and when it opened its mouth, it looked as if it could crush the entire sand pyramid.

But when it bit into the sand pyramid, the sealing spells on the pyramid's surface lit up instantly, and a large number of new sealing spells appeared in the surrounding ground, instantly creating a complex sealing array that enveloped the Second Raikage.

At some point, the Second Raikage found himself unable to move.

Sealing Technique: Seven-Layer Lamp Array!

"Damn it, that guy set up a double seal here. Once the seal is broken, the hidden sealing technique will be triggered immediately. What a cunning guy."

Madara Uchiha saw this through the body of the Second Raikage and instantly understood what was going on, feeling both shocked and furious.

But at this moment, he realized even more how advanced Kirito's sealing techniques were.

The next moment, he discovered that the space around him was distorting, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

A second or two later, a huge, distorted black hole swallowed the sand pyramid along with the Second Raikage, and they eventually disappeared into an unknown spacetime.

Sealing Technique: Inner Four Symbols Sealing!

"Damn it, we've lost two important puppets at once."

On the sand dunes outside the oasis, Madara Uchiha spoke with a gloomy expression.

He lost contact with the two impure world puppets, the Second Mizukage and the Second Raikage. Clearly, the two impure world puppets were thrown into a space-time very far from the ninja world, or entered a very special space-time, which caused them to lose contact with him.

"You've fallen for it, huh? You still think you can retrieve the Edo Tensei puppet? How naive."

Kirito then realized that his hidden trump card had been successfully activated and sneered.

Then, he began to prepare to cook Uchiha Homura, who was in front of him.

He instantly appeared beside Uchiha Homura without using any hand seals, removed the mask from his face, revealing a face covered in cracks that was clearly that of an Edo Tensei (impure world) practitioner.

"We meet again, Chief Yan. It's a pity that our reunion will be like this."

Kirito looked at Homura Uchiha's familiar face and was filled with emotion.

Upon hearing Kirito's words, Homura Uchiha's eyes flickered slightly, but he was unable to utter a single word.

"Grandpa, what's wrong? Say something, please say something."

Chizuru saw Homura Uchiha's face with her own eyes, and excitedly ran over, grabbed Homura's hand, and then tears streamed down her face.

At this moment, the emotions that had been hidden deep within could no longer be concealed.

Then, with a slight exertion, Uchiha Homura's hand shattered, causing Chizuru's pupils to shrink to pinpoints, unable to comprehend why her grandfather had become like this.

Seeing Chizuru shed tears for him filled Homura Uchiha with immense satisfaction. He wanted to tell Chizuru about Madara Uchiha's conspiracy, but he was powerless to do so.

"I'm sorry, Chizuru, your grandfather is dead. He is now just a puppet temporarily summoned by the enemy using an evil forbidden technique called Impure World Reincarnation. He can't even control his own will now, so he can't answer your question."

Orochimaru also came to Homura Uchiha's side and began to explain Homura's current state to Chizuru.

He had discovered the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, a forbidden jutsu, when he secretly infiltrated the Forbidden Technique Chamber of Konoha, and thus knew some of the things that happened after the jutsu was activated.

Uchiha Homura's current state perfectly matches the characteristics of a dead puppet summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation technique: his face is cracked, the whites of his eyes are an abnormal black, and he has no trace of the vitality a living person should have.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique, a ninjutsu that uses the dead, bastard, who is using such a despicable ninjutsu? I'm going to kill him."

Chizuru, upon learning the truth about Uchiha Homura's current state, spoke with immense anger.

The other Konoha ninjas nearby were also filled with rage. They were initially furious at Uchiha Homura for killing many of their comrades, but upon learning that Uchiha Homura was dead and had been so desecrated, they were left with only deep sympathy.

It is truly tragic that members of the once-proud Uchiha clan have fallen to such a state.

The perpetrator truly deserves to be torn to pieces.

"Calm down, Chizuru. The important thing now is to try to undo the ninjutsu on your grandfather so that his soul can rest in peace as soon as possible. If his soul is not saved, it will continue to be desecrated by the villains who used the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

Kirito pressed his hand on Chizuru's shoulder to calm her down.

Upon hearing this, Chizuru finally calmed down a little.

The next moment, the Sharingan in her eyes changed from three tomoe to four-leaf clover patterns again.

Mangekyou Sharingan awakened!

"Chizuru!"

Kirito noticed that Chizuru had used her Mangekyou Sharingan again and immediately tried to stop her.

But then, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

As a red light shone from Chizuru's left Mangekyou Sharingan, the blue chakra chains wrapped around Uchiha Homura instantly transformed into pure chakra and vanished into thin air.

Moreover, Uchiha Homura's Edo Tensei body was also rapidly collapsing.

"So this is the eye technique of your Mangekyou Sharingan."

Kirito murmured, amazed, once again marveling at the Mangekyou Sharingan, this special thing called the Eye of the Mind.

Ninjutsu is nullified.

This ability is truly powerful.

If this ability could be used without limit and had no weaknesses, it would be even more terrifying than Obito Uchiha's Kamui.
