Chapter 736 Eye Technique
"This... what kind of eye technique is this?!" Fugaku collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with disbelief, shock, and fear. His Mangekyou Sharingan, which he was so proud of and housed the ultimate eye technique Susanoo, had been so easily broken and completely suppressed by a "dead man" without him even having the power to resist!
Zhang Hai knelt on one knee, breathing heavily, large beads of sweat sliding down his forehead. Two streams of crimson tears welled in his eyes, streaming down his cheeks in a horrifying sight. Using the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique in both eyes simultaneously was an immense strain on him, pushing him to his absolute limit.
He forced himself to walk towards Fugaku, who was lying on the ground. His voice was hoarse from overusing his eye power, but it still carried an undisguised arrogance and coldness: "Surprised? Uchiha Fugaku? Did you think you were the only one with the Mangekyou Sharingan? Did you think Susanoo was unbreakable?"
Zhang Hai stopped in front of Fugaku, looking down at him with a haughty gaze. The kaleidoscope pattern in his eyes slowly rotated, emitting an eerie light. He slowly spoke, revealing his eye techniques: "My left eye has the ability to 'stop time.' My right eye has the ability to 'accelerate time.' And both of my eyes can activate—'time reversal'!"
He paused, his voice carrying a powerful, intimidating force that struck Fugaku's heart: "Your Susanoo just now wasn't 'broken' by me, but rather my eye techniques forcibly 'reversed time' back to before it was activated! Before my eye techniques, your Susanoo had no chance of even existing!"
Upon hearing this, Fugaku was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning. Time stop, time acceleration, time reversal… such abilities were utterly unheard of! He had never heard of any member of the Uchiha clan possessing such a terrifying eye technique! This was beyond all his understanding of the Sharingan!
Seeing the shock and despair on Fugaku's face, Zhang Hai's eyes flashed with anger. He recalled Fugaku's slander of Mikoto and his words "little lover," and his anger surged again.
"Now, let's talk business!" Zhang Hai's voice suddenly turned cold and serious, each word carrying an unquestionable authority. "Let me tell you, Uchiha Fugaku, I have never done anything inappropriate to Mikoto! Nor have I done anything to wrong you! The reason she came to see me is because she is kind-hearted, because she treats me like a younger brother! Don't use your filthy thoughts to speculate about the pure sibling affection between Mikoto and me!"
His words struck Fugaku's heart like heavy hammer blows. Looking at this "traitor" with powerful eye techniques, and listening to his furious rebuke, all of Fugaku's pride and self-respect crumbled in that instant. His proud identity as the Uchiha clan leader, his Mangekyou Sharingan, were utterly utterly vulnerable before "Zhang Hai." He was easily defeated, without even the ability to resist.
Fugaku felt a surge of intense humiliation welling up inside him; he couldn't accept such a defeat. He couldn't believe that he had been defeated by a wandering Uchiha clansman, and so utterly, without any chance of fighting back. His body trembled violently, his eyes filled with despair and collapse.
Looking at Fugaku's dejected appearance, Zhang Hai's eyes were filled with disdain. He shook his head contemptuously, his tone tinged with disdain: "Is this all the mental fortitude you have, Uchiha Fugaku? With Sakumo dead, haven't I also been left all alone? Haven't I also been bearing the gossip and rumors all by myself? But I have never succumbed to it, never lost my mind because of it."
He recalled everything he had endured after Sakumo Hatake's death, and a strong sense of contrast arose within him. In his view, the experience of struggling to survive in dire straits while maintaining clarity and a strong will was the true path of the strong.
"What a 'paratrooper'," Zhang Hai thought to himself, his eyes filled with disdain as he looked at Fugaku lying on the ground, utterly devastated. He couldn't understand how the head of the Uchiha clan could lose his composure so easily over something like this, unable even to fully unleash his most powerful eye technique. How could someone with such a mindset lead the Uchiha clan to glory? In his eyes, Fugaku's performance was utterly pathetic and utterly incompetent.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the torture chamber, accompanied by the anxious shouts of the Uchiha clan members: "Clan leader! Clan leader, are you alright?!" Clearly, it was the chakra fluctuations that had erupted when Fugaku activated Susanoo that had alerted the guards outside.
Hearing his clansmen's cries, Fugaku's eyes finally regained a sliver of clarity. He struggled to stand, but found himself utterly powerless, as if all his strength had been drained. The feeling of being completely suppressed and utterly powerless filled him with unprecedented fear. He realized that he was now completely at Zhang Hai's mercy. His gaze turned laboriously to Zhang Hai, his eyes filled with humiliation, yet also with an unavoidable plea for help.
Zhang Hai saw the pleading look in Fugaku's eyes. He snorted coldly, feeling disdain for Fugaku's weakness, but ultimately decided to give him a way out for Mikoto's sake. He didn't want Mikoto to develop a deeper rift with Fugaku because of his situation, nor did he want Fugaku to develop a prejudice against Mikoto because of it.
"For Mikoto's sake, I'll let you off this time." Zhang Hai's voice was cold and full of warning. "But remember, Uchiha Fugaku, don't say those insulting words to Mikoto again! And don't try to attack me again! Next time, I won't show any mercy!"
Having said that, Zhang Hai raised his right hand, his five fingers lightly tracing the air. An invisible wave of chakra instantly acted upon Fugaku, releasing him from all his restraints. Fugaku felt his body relax, and his stiff muscles regained sensation. He struggled to his feet, but his legs were still somewhat weak. He felt a deep fear of Zhang Hai's eye technique; this "resurrected" Uchiha clansman's strength far exceeded his imagination, practically unfathomable.
Fugaku dared not linger any longer. He glared fiercely at Zhang Hai, said nothing more, and hurriedly left the torture chamber. He needed time to process everything that had happened today, to process the fear and humiliation he felt.
Emerging from the torture chamber, Fugaku's steps were still unsteady. He knew he had been utterly defeated today, and utterly humiliated.
