Ding!
[You killed Sarutobi Asuma, giving Konohamaru a complete childhood. Good, Merit Points +200!]
[Congratulations, host, your accumulated Merit Points have exceeded one thousand!]
[Congratulations, host, you have gained a new ability... Lightning Release Chakra Mode!]
[Currently unlocked... Lightning Release Chakra Mode (Beginner 50/100)!]
The moment Yagami killed Sarutobi Asuma, he heard the system prompt sound in his mind.
Not only his Merit Points exceeded a thousand!
He also gained a new ability...
Lightning Release Chakra Mode!
Just this alone filled Yagami with great joy.
Ninjutsu isn't about whether it's strong or not, but whether it suits you.
And for Yagami, this was the most suitable ability!
With his unparalleled Sharingan insight, combined with the powerful taijutsu Lightning Release: False Darkness Blade, and now having gained the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, his attack, defense, speed, and damage reduction were all maximized!
In terms of Yagami's fighting style, his fondness for the Lightning Release Chakra Mode even surpassed Susanoo!
Of course, there was more...
Yagami added the 280 Merit Points gained from killing an Anbu and Sarutobi Asuma to his Sharingan's visual prowess.
Immediately...
Ding!
[Congratulations, host, your Sharingan's visual prowess has been comprehensively enhanced, awakening and activating the Mangekyo Sharingan!]
[Currently obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan left eye dōjutsu... Kushimitama!]
[Kushimitama is the legendary god of complete insight and omniscience.]
[The host's left eye dōjutsu, Kushimitama, possesses the power to perceive all things. It can easily see through the enemy's taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu, finding incredible flaws and weaknesses within them, thus breaking them in one fell swoop!]
[Theoretically, there is no technique that cannot be broken.]
[Of course, it needs to improve with the host's own visual prowess. After the evolution of Kushimitama's ability, it will even possess the power to see and predict the future, and perceive the human heart!]
"Kushimitama..."
"The ability to perceive all things, see through all weaknesses, and break the enemy's ninjutsu..."
"Indeed, the rumors say that the abilities gained upon awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan are based on the user's existing and proficient abilities..."
"Is it because my Sharingan was originally good at insight that I awakened this dōjutsu?"
Yagami nodded inwardly.
However, he had only just awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, and only had the left eye's dōjutsu. From any perspective, this was just the beginning.
More importantly...
Once the Mangekyo Sharingan is awakened, although the visual prowess significantly increases and surges, as long as the Mangekyo Sharingan's dōjutsu is used, it means his eyes will begin to go blind.
Unless, it evolves into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!
For others, this can only be achieved if two relatives both awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan and then merge them.
But for Yagami, it was naturally unnecessary.
As long as he continuously acquires Merit points and do good things, the evolution of the Mangekyo Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is only a matter of time.
Having activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, awakened the left eye's Kushimitama, and gained the Lightning Release Chakra Mode...
Yagami's strength could be said to have instantly surged.
However, he had also exhausted his Chakra and was severely injured...
His most powerful moment was also his weakest moment.
But he couldn't show it.
Therefore, facing the furious and despairing Sarutobi Hiruzen, Qianyu chose to be judged, but he chose the relatively trustworthy Anbu...
Hatake Kakashi.
He even accepted Sarutobi Hiruzen's demand to have himself imprisoned.
Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yagami, no!"
Yagami shook his head.
"However, Lord Hokage, I have one condition."
"What condition?!"
"Release the Clan Leader."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was extremely grim, his fists clenched tightly.
Shimura Danzo, who was beside him, stepped forward and whispered in his ear.
"You can't release Uchiha Fugaku!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was hesitating when suddenly, another figure arrived late.
It was Uchiha Shisui.
He suddenly breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Alright, I can agree to that!"
Shimura Danzo's expression changed:
"Hiruzen, you..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored him, only saying coldly: "Anbu, imprison Uchiha Yagami!"
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
Several elite Anbu ninjas immediately walked forward cautiously.
Their eyes were filled with coldness, but they were somewhat hesitant to actually make a move.
This was the man who had just forcefully killed the Anbu commander, Sarutobi Asuma, in front of everyone!
Who dared to be negligent?!
However, Yagami did not resist, allowing them to surround him completely.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded heavily.
The Anbu ninja who had been detaining Uchiha Fugaku released his grip and also lifted the sealing barrier that sealed his Chakra, allowing him to regain his freedom.
Yagami watched this scene, deep in thought, his left eye emitting a faint blood-red light...
Uchiha Fugaku looked at his back, his brow furrowed tightly.
"Yagamj, you..."
Qianyu didn't turn back, just temporarily stopped his steps.
"Clan Leader, I'll leave my subordinates in your care."
After saying this, Yagami followed the surrounding Anbu ninjas and left.
Sarutobi Hiruzen gave a look to the Anbu member beside him, who immediately nodded and flew away, personally responsible for escorting Yagami. He even subtly gestured to Hatake Kakashi.
Hatake Kakashi understood and also led his small team forward.
Just escorting one Uchiha Yagami required nearly half of Anbu's strength.
This included the squad originally directly under Sarutobi Asuma, Hatake Kakashi's squad, and the elite Anbu personal guard beside the Hokage, the man codenamed "Elephant".
It was clear how much Sarutobi Hiruzen and Anbu feared and valued Yagami.
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally stepped forward at this moment, personally embracing his son's corpse, and left alone, his spirit downcast, under the extremely complex gazes of everyone.
And the other Anbu ninjas also followed him.
Uchiha Shisui hesitated for a moment, but ultimately followed Sarutobi Hiruzen.
This bloody battle came to an abrupt end once again.
Shimura Danzo coldly glanced at Yagami's back, then deeply at Uchiha Fugaku,
snorted, and also led the Root members away.
The remaining Uchiha clan members gathered around Uchiha Fugaku.
"Clan Leader, are you... are you alright?"
Uchiha Yashiro asked anxiously.
Uchiha Fugaku shook his head: "I said, I'm going alone, they in Anbu wouldn't dare do anything to me..."
"It's just..."
"That guy Yagami really caused a huge commotion this time..."
Uchiha Yashiro nodded silently.
Uchiha Yakumi, however, sighed: "He killed Sarutobi Asuma and so many Anbu ninjas, yet he voluntarily chose to imprison himself in the Root Prison. Clan Leader, we absolutely cannot sit idly by and watch Yagamk go to his death!"
"No, I'm afraid the torture he will suffer in the Anbu Prison will be worse than death!"
Uchiha Yashiro said in a deep voice: "But Yagami chose to sacrifice himself to avoid the final split!"
"If we rashly charge in now, wouldn't we be completely wasting his painstaking efforts?!"
"This..."
Everyone looked towards Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha Fugaku found it difficult to make a decision for a moment.
"You all have a point, but we will never let Yagami go to his death!"
"Don't worry, I will personally go to the Anbu Prison to visit him..."
"Before that, none of you are allowed to act rashly!"
"Yes, Clan Leader."
...
Of course, Yagami wasn't thinking about the bigger picture.
He chose to accept Sarutobi Hiruzen's imprisonment and interrogation based on a comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, leading to his final conclusion...
