Chapter 735 Murderous Intention
Chapter 735 Murderous Intention
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hai's murderous intent vanished instantly, replaced by an unfathomable calm. Fugaku was right; his strength was indeed greatly diminished, rendering him unable to pose a substantial threat to Fugaku. Rather than bluffing here, it was better to first ascertain Fugaku's intentions.
"Speak, what is your purpose in coming here?" Zhang Hai's voice returned to its previous calm, as if the murderous intent he had just felt was merely an illusion.
Fugaku's gaze sharpened. He didn't answer, but instead abruptly activated the Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes! The eerie pattern reappeared, radiating a chilling aura of ocular power. He stared directly into "Zhang Hai's" eyes and coldly said, "I need to know what exactly happened between you and Mikoto! From beginning to end, I want to know everything clearly!"
Zhang Hai felt a blur before his eyes as a powerful illusion instantly invaded his mental world. The unique power of the Mangekyou Sharingan directly acted on his brain, attempting to forcibly read all his memories with Mikoto. He felt his mental world being torn apart by a tyrannical force; those scenes of his time with Mikoto, whether it was childhood play or conversations in the prison cell, flooded his mind uncontrollably, relentlessly probed by Fugaku's eye power.
"Hmph!" Zhang Hai let out a muffled groan, his face instantly turning grim. He knew perfectly well what Fugaku was trying to do; it was a typical Uchiha genjutsu, an attempt to extract information by prying into memories. However, he was no ordinary Uchiha, much less a lamb to the slaughter!
Almost simultaneously with Fugaku activating his Mangekyou Sharingan, Zhang Hai's eyes also underwent a sudden change! In his eyes, the three tomoe rapidly connected, forming a similarly eerie and powerful Mangekyou pattern! His crimson eyes also emanated a chilling aura of ocular power, directly confronting Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan. An invisible mental shock erupted from him, instantly shattering the genjutsu Fugaku had cast upon him.
"A clash of eye powers?!" Fugaku's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that "Zhang Hai" could also awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan! What shocked him even more was that "Zhang Hai's" eye power was so strong that he could instantly break free from his genjutsu and engage in a direct eye power clash with him!
The ocular power of the two Mangekyou Sharingan clashed silently in the cell, the intense mental battle making the surrounding air seem to freeze. Fugaku felt a powerful backlash, a sharp pain shooting through his left eye, and a warm liquid slid down his cheek. He wiped it away; it was bright red blood!
"You...you've also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan?!" Fugaku exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide with shock. He had never imagined that anyone else in the Uchiha clan could awaken this legendary eye technique, especially one that was a "dead" traitor!
Zhang Hai's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile. He wiped the blood from his mouth, his eyes filled with provocation: "What? Is this all the Uchiha clan leader is capable of? Peeping into other people's minds? Do you think I'm a fish to be slaughtered?" He looked at Fugaku with disdain, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "It seems your 'secret about Mikoto and Zhang Hai' is even more 'interesting' than I imagined. What, do you think I've cheated on you?"
Every word Zhang Hai said was like a sharp knife, piercing Fugaku's heart. His most secret and unwillingly acknowledged suspicions and humiliations were so bluntly exposed, instantly igniting the long-suppressed anger within him.
"You're asking for death!!!" Fugaku roared deafeningly, his entire body like a powder keg ignited. The Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes spun wildly, and a surge of powerful green chakra light suddenly erupted from his body, like a tangible flame, instantly filling the entire cell!
A powerful chakra aura emanated from Fugaku, spreading outwards. The cell walls began to shake violently, and the floor creaked as if it might collapse at any moment. A destructive atmosphere filled the air, making it hard to breathe.
Zhang Hai's expression also turned serious. He felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed the familiar yet terrifying chakra fluctuation. This level of chakra burst, and that unique green light… he knew that Fugaku was about to activate one of the Uchiha clan's most powerful eye techniques—Susanoo!
Seeing the green chakra erupting from Fugaku and feeling that familiar yet immense destructive power, Zhang Hai's pupils constricted sharply. Susanoo! Once this power was fully formed, the commotion it would cause would be cataclysmic. This was the prison cell, and deep underground, it connected to Orochimaru's secret laboratory. If Fugaku activated Susanoo here, the massive chakra fluctuations and physical impact could very well expose everything underground, and even destroy Orochimaru's laboratory. This was absolutely not the situation he wanted to see.
"We absolutely cannot let him fully activate Susanoo!" Zhang Hai made a decision immediately. He had to avoid a life-or-death battle breaking out here.
Zhang Hai took a deep breath, and the Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes began to spin wildly, pushing his eye power to its limit! An unprecedentedly powerful eye power erupted from his eyes, like an invisible torrent, and crashed into Fugaku, who was condensing Susanoo.
The surging green chakra light, under the impact of Zhang Hai's eye power, dimmed instantly like a flame blown by a gale. The green giant, which was about to be fully formed, seemed to be twisted and stretched by an invisible force, and finally, with a reluctant hum, it vanished without a trace like a mirage.
Fugaku's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. His Susanoo, just as it was about to take shape, had been forcibly interrupted by the opponent's ocular power?! How could this be?! He was momentarily stunned, his mind blank.
At this critical moment, Zhang Hai did not hesitate for a moment. His eyes focused again, and his pupil power erupted instantly! An invisible force emanated from him and enveloped Fugaku in an instant. This was not an ordinary illusion, but a more bizarre power—the Illusionary Blade Technique!
Fugaku felt his body stiffen, as if countless invisible blades had instantly locked all his joints and meridians. His body fell uncontrollably to the ground with a heavy thud. He tried to struggle, but found his body frozen solid, unable to move even a finger.
