Chapter 199 199: The Gains from the Uchiha
Intense flames roared.
They burned fiercely, devouring flesh.
Uchiha Hogo let out a muffled groan and dropped to one knee.
Then—
The flames vanished.
"How… how is this possible?!"
He had clearly cast the fire illusion on his opponent.
Yet now—
Hyuga Arin stood before him, not tall, yet looking down at him like a judge.
"Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Reversal."
A genjutsu designed specifically to reflect genjutsu.
Even the Sharingan's.
"Your illusion isn't polished enough," Arin said lightly, a fireball resting in his palm.
"That's impossible!! You reflected an Uchiha's genjutsu?!" Hogo's face twisted in disbelief.
Within Konoha, the strongest genjutsu belonged to the Uchiha.
Did he even understand what level-nine genjutsu meant?
"Hyuga Arin! You attacked fellow Konoha shinobi! The Hokage won't let you off!"
"Hey."
Arin tapped the mask on his face.
"You don't recognize the outfit? I'm ANBU."
"And please call me by my codename."
"Player."
"ANBU?!" Hogo snarled. "You're Root!"
"Since you already know, I won't hide it. The one who wants you dead is Danzo."
Arin tossed the fireball.
"When you reach hell, don't blame the wrong person."
"BOOM!!"
The explosion swallowed Hogo whole.
He died in fury.
[EXP: 19898]
Arin collected the drops and tossed them into his inventory.
Then he retrieved the first Uchiha's loot as well.
One more to go.
He rushed toward the final battlefield.
…
He arrived to see—
Hiruko controlling a lightning dragon, blasting toward… himself.
And on a distant branch stood the last Uchiha, three tomoe spinning in his crimson eyes.
Arin slapped his forehead.
"Pathetic, Hiruko-sensei."
Genjutsu.
Still not broken.
Arin casually picked up a stone and flicked it.
Whoosh.
It smashed into Hiruko's face.
The lightning dragon crashed into empty ground instead.
"Boom!"
The final Uchiha turned to face Arin, blade in hand.
"So there was another."
"Root really is persistent."
"At least you know who your enemy is," Arin chuckled.
"Hyuga Arin," the Uchiha said coldly. "Even you became Danzo's dog?"
"Watch your mouth. I'm Lord Danzo's successor."
Future successor, at least.
He pointed at Hiruko.
"That one's the dog."
"Who the hell is arguing that?!"
The Uchiha roared—
Clang!
Another Arin appeared behind him, blocking his blade with a black katana.
The first Arin burst into smoke.
Shadow Clone.
Flames erupted from Arin's body.
The Uchiha leapt back, forming seals rapidly.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
A massive wall of fire surged forward.
Arin grinned.
Inhaled.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Black-blue flames roared from his mouth, forming an equal inferno.
The two firewalls collided.
Exploded outward into countless fireballs.
"That's impossible!" the Uchiha shouted.
The Sharingan was supposed to copy others—
Since when were they being copied?!
A black-blue flame drifting near him suddenly transformed into Arin.
A blur.
A slash.
The black blade, wreathed in black-blue fire, passed his neck.
His body staggered.
Collapsed.
The charred wound told the story.
[EXP: 17897]
"Time to work, Hiruko-sensei."
Hiruko walked over grimly.
He knew what that meant.
"You couldn't dig them out yourself?"
"The mission needs your participation."
Arin shrugged.
"Can't have me doing everything."
"I made sure the bodies weren't completely destroyed. The eyes are intact."
Hiruko grimaced.
But he knelt and dug out the three-tomoe Sharingan.
Then moved to retrieve the other two.
Arin reviewed his gains.
[Sharingan] ×3
[Uchiha Bloodline]:
Increases Fire Release power.
Increases genjutsu power.
Increases Sharingan effectiveness.
[Uchiha Emblem]:
+500 Chakra Limit.
Three one-tomoe merged into two-tomoe.
He still had two one-tomoe in inventory.
Four more one-tomoe would make a three-tomoe.
[Sharingan (Two-Tomoe) (1/3)]
Observation enhanced further.
Now capable of copying techniques.
Three Fire Release skills—into the furnace.
Sarutobi bloodline—into the furnace.
[Essence: 2000]
But the best drop—
[Chakra Fruit (Medium)]
+1000 Chakra limit.
Not large—large would give 10,000.
But rare nonetheless.
He ate it immediately.
Name: I'm Hyuga Arin
Class: Hunter
Sub-class: Doctor
Level: 42 (0/41500)
Chakra/Nen: 5966 / 10110 +1000 +500 +500 +500
Chakra limit increased.
Current chakra did not recover.
"If only it were a Large one…"
Hiruko stacked the corpses.
Arin snapped his fingers.
Black-blue flames reduced them to ash.
"Mission complete," Hiruko said stiffly. "Let's return."
Arin shook his head.
"Sensei. Mission's done."
"But don't forget…"
He smiled faintly toward the bushes nearby.
"Loose ends."
