Chapter 19: Sharingan Training Method, Ishihara: You've Wasted the Sharingan!
Boom!!!
The ground trembled violently.
A pillar of lightning shot into the sky.
Thud! Thud!
Several figures fell from the sky and crashed to the ground.
Ishihara emerged from the depths of the passage, slightly surprised that it hadn't collapsed.
"Orochimaru's engineering quality is impressive."
Although he hadn't stayed indoors for the past six years, it seemed like it had been a long time since his last outing.
As the sunlight fell on his face, Ishihara squinted, still a bit unaccustomed.
"The air outside is still better."
He stretched, then set his sights on the few figures lying not far away and walked over.
Jūgo was severely injured.
In addition to being seriously wounded by Kakashi's Chidori earlier, he was also affected by the Lightning Waterfall.
Ishihara walked up to him, watching as Jūgo, bleeding heavily, struggled to get up with hands and feet.
"Take a good rest!"
Saying that, he directly performed the Five Elements Unseal to lift Jūgo's seal.
Seeing Jūgo enter the Cursed Seal state and quickly recover from his injuries, Ishihara felt relieved.
Although his Sage Body Refinement Method was complete, he still needed Jūgo for future experiments with Sage Transformation.
After doing this, he turned to Kakashi and Itachi.
During the Lightning Waterfall explosion, Kakashi had used the Chidori he had prepared to shield himself and Itachi.
As for the others, they were already dead.
Kakashi looked at his trembling hands, his face still showing traces of fear.
Even with all his might, he could only barely protect himself and Itachi.
And this was just a jutsu Ishihara developed after watching his Chidori once.
What kind of monster is this?
Kakashi and Itachi stood up shakily, watching Ishihara approach, ready for battle.
Ishihara laughed, calmly saying, "No need to be nervous. If I wanted to kill you, you'd already be dead."
He didn't kill them, not because they were important characters, but because they were useful.
Kakashi and Itachi felt a mix of relief, frustration, and anger.
Did Ishihara not even have an interest in killing them?
While they didn't want to die, this thought made them feel extremely aggrieved and unwilling.
Ishihara walked up to them, looking into their angry, resentful eyes and said calmly, "Nice eyes."
"But what's even better is this Dojutsu."
Kakashi and Itachi's hearts skipped a beat at his words.
"What are you planning to do?" Itachi asked, his breathing quickening with a sense of foreboding.
"Of course, I want to study the legendary Dojutsu, the Sharingan."
Ishihara calmly answered as he carefully sensed the Sharingan and the Dojutsu chakra within the two.
"Bastard!"
Itachi's face changed dramatically.
Though he would later grow to loathe his clan, he was currently extremely proud of the Sharingan.
Ishihara's words trampled on his pride and the pride of the entire Uchiha clan!
"The Sharingan isn't a jutsu that can be created; it's a bloodline limit!"
Itachi gritted his teeth.
"This chakra feels strange, like Yin Release mixed with something else," Ishihara mused, seemingly not hearing Itachi, continuing to study the Sharingan.
He frowned slightly, thinking to himself:
"It seems I need to find an opportunity to specifically study Dojutsu. Without strong insight, it's impossible to see the chakra pathways."
For now, he could only analyze the essence of the Sharingan chakra through his sensory abilities.
This efficiency was too slow, making it difficult for someone used to rapidly understanding jutsu.
Being ignored made Itachi grind his teeth in anger.
Normally calm and even cold-blooded, he looked down on everyone else, believing no one could match him.
But faced with Ishihara, a more terrifying genius, he couldn't ignore his actions or tolerate being ignored.
It was like he was being treated the same way he treated others.
Because it meant Ishihara truly didn't see him as important.
Ishihara murmured, "As far as I know, the two basic abilities of the Sharingan are insight, hypnotism.
"I can't deal with the other two abilities now, but Genjutsu can serve as an entry point."
Though he hadn't studied Dojutsu, he had deeply researched Genjutsu and was among the top experts in it.
Combining his Genjutsu expertise with his observation of the Sharingan's chakra, he began to see the light.
Ishihara's spirits lifted.
He knew this was a sign of soon creating a new jutsu, indicating his direction was correct.
"Is this guy serious? Does he really intend to create the Sharingan out of thin air?!"
Itachi found it hard to believe.
Kakashi felt the same.
But recalling Ishihara's development of the Lightning Waterfall, he swallowed his words.
A thought arose: If it's him, it might be possible!
This seemed incredible to him.
With a new idea, Ishihara stepped forward to place his hand on Itachi's Sharingan for further sensing.
"What do you think you're doing?!"
Itachi stepped back, watching him warily.
Ishihara's face turned cold as he stared at him, saying, "Stand still and let me study the Sharingan, or I'll gouge out your eyes to study them!"
"You!!!"
Itachi trembled, both in anger and humiliation.
As a genius of the Uchiha clan, he had never been so humiliated.
But he knew he couldn't resist; he might not even be able to destroy his eyes.
It was a great shame, an unparalleled disgrace!
For the first time, Itachi deeply craved more power.
But at this moment, he could only stand still, face dark, as Ishihara placed a hand on his eyes, internally roaring:
"Bastard!!!"
"One day! One day, I'll repay you for all you've done to me!"
Ishihara didn't care about Itachi's thoughts.
Placing his hand on him allowed him to sense the Sharingan chakra more clearly.
His ideas became more distinct, and his mind filled with inspiration.
The scene fell into silence.
Itachi and Kakashi watched Ishihara nervously.
They wanted to attack but, remembering Ishihara's terror, gave up the idea.
At that moment, Ishihara suddenly smiled.
"It's done!"
[By observing the Sharingan's chakra flow, analyzing part of its essence, and combining it with your Genjutsu expertise, you've created the Sharingan Training Method: Genjutsu Edition!]
[Sharingan Training Method: Genjutsu Edition: This secret technique allows you to develop a Sharingan that only possesses the Genjutsu ability!]
What?!
It's already done?!
Kakashi and Itachi were nearly driven mad.
They could barely accept him developing jutsu; this was a bloodline limit, and he created it just like that?!
How is this possible?!
They stared at Ishihara, unwilling to believe it.
But the next moment, as Ishihara muttered, "Sharingan," a buzz sounded.
Before their incredulous eyes, Ishihara's black pupils turned blood-red, and a single tomoe slowly appeared!
