Chapter 113

But nothing could conceal the shock in his heart at this moment!

"Damn it! Why is that guy appearing here?!"

The encounter with Ishihara some time ago was simply Itachi's nightmare!

Even after returning to Konoha, he often dreamed of that day's ordeal and woke up in a cold sweat.

With the passage of time, and the various events and pressures that occurred recently, Itachi had already forgotten Ishihara's existence.

But upon seeing Ishihara, those humiliating memories surfaced again, incredibly clear!

This made Itachi extremely angry in his heart.

What made him even more uneasy was that Ishihara actually appeared brazenly on the streets of Konoha, without the slightest defense.

Does he not fear being captured by Konoha?

Or does he have some other reliance?! Has he developed a new secret technique?!

Thinking of what happened when he previously met Ishihara, Itachi's heart instantly became incredibly heavy.

He took a deep breath and tried to appear calm.

"Why are you appearing in Konoha?"

Ishihara looked at him trying to pretend to be calm, smiled, then pointed at his eyes and said meaningfully:

"Itachi, you truly did not disappoint me!"

Itachi's pupils instantly contracted, and his heart was violently shaken.

This guy...!

"I don't know what you are talking about?"

Seeing Itachi deny it, Ishihara instantly laughed.

"You seem to have forgotten that I previously researched your Sharingan; at that time, your ocular power was completely incomparable to now."

"If I am not mistaken, you must have already awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Itachi's face changed slightly; thinking of the unpleasant experience last time, his expression instantly turned cold, and he growled through gritted teeth:

"Since you know I awakened the Mangekyō, you still dare to appear before my eyes?!"

He had not forgotten the humiliation this man in front of him brought him!

This time, he must thoroughly wash it away!

Hearing this, Ishihara sighed.

It seems Itachi indeed awakened the Mangekyō; that means Shisui is already dead.

That would mean one less pair of Mangekyō he could research; it is a bit of a pity.

"No, Shisui's Mangekyō seem to be in Danzō and Itachi's hands respectively, so that's fine."

Ishihara's thoughts turned in his mind, but on the surface, he was looking at Itachi with a somewhat mocking expression.

"You don't think awakening the Mangekyō allows you to resist me, do you?"

Although Itachi has awakened the Mangekyō now, the only ocular technique he can use is Tsukuyomi.

Amaterasu and Susanoo have not fully awakened yet and cannot be used.

And Tsukuyomi, Ishihara was not worried about!

Hearing this, Itachi's face changed slightly, and he said coldly:

"You don't think you can resist the genjutsu of the Mangekyō Sharingan, do you?!"

In his heart, the Mangekyō Sharingan was extremely powerful!

Especially after experiencing it personally, he felt the power gap compared to before was completely two different dimensions.

Even Ishihara should... not be able to block his Tsukuyomi!

"Is the genjutsu of the Mangekyō very strong?"

Ishihara smiled, "Then how about you compare and feel the strength of my genjutsu?"

Since the purpose of coming to Konoha this time was the Mangekyō Sharingan.

How could he not strengthen his power in the area of genjutsu?

So he learned several sound genjutsu from Orochimaru and further strengthened his genjutsu space.

Now his genjutsu ability is already no inferior to the Mangekyō.

What?!

Itachi's pupils instantly contracted.

Ishihara's somewhat illusory voice came to his ears.

"Genjutsu Space!"

Buzz—

Itachi instantly felt his vision change, arriving in an unfamiliar space.

"Genjutsu?"

Itachi's heart sank; he immediately tried to dispel the genjutsu, but failed.

His heart grew grim; without the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated the Mangekyō Sharingan!

Buzz—

Powerful ocular power instantly erupted, breaking through the genjutsu!

Vision returned to normal!

Itachi looked angrily at Ishihara and instantly froze.

He saw Ishihara staring at his eyes as if somewhat dazed, but the aura on his body was incredibly active!

"Bastard!!!"

Itachi's anger instantly flared.

The last time Ishihara studied his Sharingan, he was in this very state!

This guy was actually studying his Mangekyō Sharingan while clashing with his genjutsu?!

Itachi couldn't help but grind his teeth in hatred.

"Damn it, try my dojutsu!"

"Wait!"

Ishihara suddenly came to his senses, a smile appearing on his face.

Seeing this, Itachi immediately felt a sense of ominous foreboding.

Then he saw Ishihara, beaming with a smile, say:

"Thank you, Itachi, for letting me unlock the second tomoe of the Sharingan!"

Just now, as he observed the moment Itachi unlocked the Mangekyō, a system prompt suddenly arrived.

【You have perceived the chakra of the Mangekyō Sharingan; you have mastered greatly enhanced Byakugan insight; you have mastered the Transparent World, allowing you to predict enemy movements; you have created the Sharingan Cultivation Method: Insight Chapter】

【Sharingan Cultivation Method: Insight Chapter: Upon mastery, one can unlock a single tomoe, greatly increasing the Sharingan's insight and allowing prediction of enemy movements】

"What?!"

Itachi's heart skipped a beat; he found it hard to believe.

They had just met, he had just shown his Mangekyō Sharingan, and yet the other party's secret technique had been perfected again?

But in the next moment.

Itachi was utterly shocked!

He saw a single-tomoe Sharingan appear in Ishihara's eyes opposite him; then the tomoe split in two, becoming a double-tomoe Sharingan!

Hiss!!!

Itachi couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath of cold air, cursing inwardly.

What the hell kind of goddamn talent is this?!

It wasn't just outrageous!

It was utterly unreasonable!

Itachi's eyes widened as he looked at Ishihara in disbelief. "You, how exactly did you do this?!"

Ishihara deactivated his Sharingan, feeling somewhat excited himself.

"Let me study your Mangekyō Sharingan, and I'll tell you."

"No way!!"

Itachi flatly refused, retreating a few steps warily.

Shisui had been ambushed by Danzō and had his Mangekyō stolen; he didn't want to follow in his footsteps.
