Chapter 176: Sage Art: Sharingan - White Extreme Attack!
On the field, in the magnificent courtyard, the three men led by Uchiha Yashiro felt their hearts suddenly skip a beat.
Following the boy's resolute declaration, they looked over and saw Tsukasa's Sharingan—so unlike any ordinary Uchiha's.
Eerie, cold, and possessing a beauty that defied all logic!
Just looking at it sent chills down their spines!
"Those eyes..."
"This is... a two-tomoe Sharingan? No, something's not right!"
The elder Uchiha Inabi frowned, his eyes narrowing with concern. He warned his two companions:
"Don't be careless!"
"Yashiro, Tekka—I have a bad feeling. Use your full strength!"
"Since he only has a two-tomoe Sharingan, we'll use our three-tomoe advantage to suppress him. Yashiro, you engage him directly! I'll use genjutsu! Tekka, you use ninjutsu!"
"Just like the old days!"
The three nodded immediately and acted in unison.
Yashiro drew his sword and charged forward.
His steps were steady, his movements swift. As he charged, his left hand drew four kunai from his pouch and flung them. The kunai's ends were attached to invisible steel wires that clashed and twisted in mid-air, aiming to ensnare Tsukasa!
With sharp features and long gray hair, Uchiha Tekka took a step back, frowned, and leaped into the air, forming hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
He tilted his body back, gathering a massive amount of chakra in his throat, and unleashed a powerful B-rank fire release technique!
A colossal pillar of crimson flames shot downward, instantly blocking all of Tsukasa's escape routes!
Meanwhile, Uchiha Inabi had somehow already circled to the side of the battlefield—
His footsteps silent, his movements elusive. He used a silent killing technique similar to Kirigakure's.
His hands formed seals, his crimson eyes gleaming as he instantly constructed a genjutsu trap using his Sharingan!
In an instant, the three combined their assault—ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu—all enhanced by their Sharingan abilities, raining down on Tsukasa!
Previously, the elder Uchiha Inabi had said that ordinary jōnin wouldn't even last a minute under their combined attack before being killed!
This wasn't a boast!
It was an undeniable fact!
Let alone ordinary jōnin—even elite jōnin, if caught off guard, would likely face certain death!
However, facing the three-on-one assault, Tsukasa simply watched calmly until the attacks were about to strike!
His eyes instantly filled with wild intensity!
In taijutsu and shurikenjutsu, he possessed a higher level of proficiency than Yashiro.
In ninjutsu, his combined techniques, under their transformation, could cleave through Tekka's Great Fire Annihilation with a single sword strike!
In genjutsu, his two-tomoe Sharingan possessed abilities even stronger than a three-tomoe Sharingan.
With his current foundation, he could completely neutralize and break through these attacks aimed at him.
But—
That would be too troublesome!
"Let me show you my full power!"
Tsukasa suddenly raised his head, his serpentine eyes contracting sharply!
The next moment, all the power spreading throughout his body erupted!
A dazzling sun rose from the ground!
He took a single step!
A gale surged forth, forming a wind barrier in front of Tsukasa, blocking all the incoming pillars of fire and swirling them up into a massive fire tornado!
"What... what is that?!"
The pupils of the three Uchiha clan members suddenly contracted. They were not ordinary shinobi—
In their Sharingan vision, they could clearly see that within the fire tornado, Tsukasa's chakra fluctuations were rapidly changing.
A layer of incandescent flames surged from his body, instantly engulfing him entirely, covering every inch of his skin, and then transforming it completely!
The fire tornado swept down, carrying swirling leaves—
Then dissipated, revealing behind it a humanoid figure enveloped in blazing white flames, its mere presence capable of shattering the clouds in the sky!
No—it could no longer be called humanoid!
"How could this be! This is clearly the Half-Tailed Beast form of a jinchūriki!"
Having lived through both the First and Second Shinobi World Wars, Uchiha Inabi immediately recognized this terrifying transformation.
Although the color was different and it lacked tails, its overwhelming aura was unmistakable—this was a jinchūriki, a living weapon!
"The Elder's 'hawkish hope'—is this what he meant?"
Wait—where did he get a Tailed Beast?!
Inabi's scalp tingled. He instinctively activated his Sharingan genjutsu, attempting to control Tsukasa in his Half-Tailed Beast form!
A Half-Tailed Beast jinchūriki would gradually be influenced by the Tailed Beast's chakra over time, becoming increasingly violent!
Once this kid went berserk, he'd truly be unstoppable!
Inabi felt his mouth go dry, wishing he could slap Yashiro upside the head.
This kid's a Tailed Beast jinchūriki! What the hell was the point of this trial?!
Is he crazy, or am I?!
A jumble of thoughts flashed through his mind, and as a veteran powerhouse of the Uchiha clan, Inabi instantly activated his genjutsu!
His eyes locked onto Tsukasa in his Half-Tailed Beast form—
Their gazes met!
The genjutsu activated instantly, and Tsukasa was momentarily stunned.
"It works!" Inabi breathed a sigh of relief, wiping sweat from his brow.
However, Tsukasa's stunned state wasn't due to being caught in the genjutsu—
But rather—
Stimulated by the genjutsu, his crimson serpentine pupils narrowed, instinctively activating the sage-like dōjutsu hidden within them!
Tsukasa subconsciously raised his head and glared back!
The next moment, Inabi's eyes widened abruptly as he felt his genjutsu world instantly shattered by an eye power stronger than his own!
The entire world crumbled into fragments!
Then—
A ferocious crimson dragon, wielding a black sphere, emerged from the rift in reality.
The dragon circled him, lowered its head, and stared down at him with indifferent scarlet eyes. It opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the orb whole!
Then, a blinding white light erupted from the dragon's mouth, spraying down uncontrollably!
In an instant, Inabi felt himself engulfed in blinding white light, followed by an unbearable, piercing sound!
His vision and hearing were simultaneously subjected to immense pain—
The air vibrated, his bones went numb, his senses exploded, and his consciousness blurred!
Inabi was instantly rendered unconscious by this Sage Art dōjutsu and collapsed to the ground!
Before falling, he glared resentfully in Tsukasa's direction, gritting his teeth.
This brat has no respect for his elders!
Wait—you're a Tailed Beast jinchūriki? You should have said so earlier!
Thud!
Uchiha Inabi collapsed silently.
Tsukasa blinked, somewhat dazed.
Only then did he realize what he'd done—and what kind of Sage Art was hidden in his eyes.
Sage Art: Sharingan: White Extreme Attack!
This technique allowed him to use the White Extreme Attack—the same technique Kabuto used in his Sage Mode—within the genjutsu space.
It caused immense pain to the opponent's hearing and body while simultaneously using air vibrations to paralyze their senses, creating a numbing sensation in their bones and immobilizing their movements.
Combined with the 360-degree unobstructed vision of his serpentine Sharingan, it was practically an unsolvable Sage Art!
Unless you fought him with your eyes closed, you'd have to pass a test of the White Extreme Attack's power first.
Looking at the fallen Inabi, Tsukasa felt a little helpless.
Facing the genjutsu, he'd planned to use his superior genjutsu experience, employing the Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change to deflect it.
Who knew this old man would be unlucky enough to trigger this Sage Jutsu—a genjutsu technique Tsukasa himself hadn't even figured out how it manifested—and have it extracted and absorbed.
Shaking his head, ignoring this small incident—
Tsukasa suddenly looked up and saw—
Four fire dragons piercing through the white smoke in the sky, fiercely crashing down!
This was Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!
And not far away, Yashiro—swooping down at top speed, wielding his shinobi blade—was stabbing at him from behind!
Both front and back were blocked, the cold blade and fire dragons converging together!
Despite this predicament, Tsukasa laughed!
A maniacal grin stretched across his Half-Tailed Beast face!
He suddenly raised his hand—
Dark chakra rapidly pouring into his palm!
A jet-black, rapidly expanding Rasengan—seemingly about to explode—gradually took shape in his hand!
Dark Expanding Rasengan!
