The Sharingan Hyuga - Volume 2 Chapter 69 Shuichi Awakens Rinnegan
Shuichi looked at Pain with Rinnegan in his eyes “I guess you are shocked. I can understand that. after all, you delude yourself to be a god because you have rinnegan”.
Flashback 1 month ago,
Hiashi, Hanabi and two other Hyuga travelled to Kumogakure to get back Hizashi’s corpse as a part of a deal between both nations. Although the Raikage was reluctant to give it back as they were researching his body and give a few months, they would have broken the cursed seal on his body.
But since it was a Daimyo’s order, he gritted his teeth and accepted it as the matter wasn’t anymore between Kumo and Konoha but Fire country and Lightning country. Hanabi was surprised to see Hiashi smiling while they were returning.
After they crossed the border, Hanabi spoke: “father, get ready for the battle”. they were confused as they only saw a single person from far away who was just leisurely walking towards their direction. Hanabi then said “I remember his chakra signature very well. He’s kabuto, Orochimaru’s right-hand man”. then she explained how he escaped from their capture back then.
Hiashi nodded “I heard about his participation in the invasion years ago. We don’t know his strength but I can see there’s another type of chakra mixed inside him. Let’s go, capture him and bring him back to Konoha”.
When they confront him, kabuto was covered entirely in robe and a hood which covered until his forehead. When he raised his head, his cheeks and the parts of the face have scales and his eyes have slits like a snake.
He pushed his spectacles up “Oh boy, Konoha nin sure are meddlesome beings. Kuchiyose Edo Tensei”. He immediately summoned reanimated Sasori. but when he remembered the person in front of him is the Hyuga clan head and as well as three other Hyuga clans who can just block the chakra point, He summoned Deidara and three of the seven ninja swordsmen of the mist.
Then he leapt up on Deidara’s clay bird and laughed “I feel like I’m using too much force on you. but nevertheless, I have more important work to do. After you die, we will meet again Hiashi Hyuga”. Hiashi frowned upon seeing those three ninja swordsmen. and with Sasori, he felt that they were at a disadvantage.
At first, he showed his might as the Hyuga clan head but under relentless attacks of immortal strong ninjas and coupled with the fact that they don’t have any fuinjutsu users with them, they fell into a disadvantage.
after a while, Shuichi was travelling all over the lightning country to mark various places for Hiraishin saw Hanabi who was bloody with heavy injuries all over her body carrying an unconscious Hiashi on her back. She was tired and weakly moving step by step.
He instantly dashed towards them madly forgetting everything else, just when he reached near her, Hanabi who recognised her brother through his chakra signature as he was covered his face in the hood. She shouted weakly with all strength “Shu-Nii”.
He almost reached her with a worried face. just when he’s about to touch her hand, Immediately, a blade in the form of a sewing needle pierced her heart from the back and Hiashi who was also pierced got dragged back suddenly “father, Hana….”
He reached out his hand but he wasn’t able to touch them before they got dragged back by a thick thread which was attached to that blade. Immediately, his eyes changed to that of Mangekyou sharingan with three lines intersect at the centre of his eye and six tomoe appeared where each tomoe is in each segment.
his right eye started to bleed and stopped the time without knowing. He looked around his surroundings and it seemed everything has been stopped. He hurriedly released both of them. “Fission jutsu”. suddenly, another Shuichi split from him and stood beside him. He picked both of them and disappeared from there and reappeared at one of his hideouts.
The other Shuichi who was left behind changed his eyes to his normal ash eyes and scanned his surroundings, he only saw three more reanimated shinobi and no other human. He knew it’s no use in defeating them but suddenly he was consumed in anger, a dark brownish-purple chakra began to surround him like a coating but for some reason, vertical slits didn’t appear as he slowly changed into Bijuu mode with six tails.
Meanwhile, inside his subconscious, the little bit red hint of chakra which was used to be in his chakra system gathered there and a ball of red chakra formed. eyes appeared on it but were closed indicating that thing is sleeping.
Meanwhile, at his hideout, Shuichi kneels and collapsed as he saw Hanabi died with his byakugan. as both Shuichi are connected, both of them felt each other’s anger and sadness at the same time. while one Shuichi changed into a bijuu mode, the other one’s eyes changed into a purple colour with a ripple pattern.
Then, he suddenly remembered “oh! right. Hoka sama gave me that”. he immediately took out a Tag with a seal on it.
Flashback, One year ago, at Mt Kuma, Hako while training him in their clan technique “Here, take it”. he caught the tag and asked, “what is it?”. She replied “It is something that was made by one of our summoners to defy death god. Although Rinnegan can bring back anyone to life in exchange for their life, this tag which was infused with sage power along with a complex seal. place this tag on yourself. if you ever die, it will automatically react and will revive you”.
back to the hideout, he placed the tag on Hanabi’s face, it started to glow green and disappeared into her body. After observing that she came back to life, he immediately breathes in relief and whispered “Thank you Hoka sama. I’ll be in your debt all my life”.
Then he checked Hiashi’s injuries and started to heal him “I don’t know much about Medical ninjutsu but I guess, at least there is no danger to Father’s life yet”. when Hanabi opened her eyes, she saw Shuichi healing Hiashi.
“Shu-Nii”. He turned his head towards her “don’t worry. father is fine for now…” She interrupted his reply by giving him a tight hug and tears started to fell “Shu-Nii”. she started to ask a various number of questions non-stop while crying. he patted her head “we can talk about everything later. first, we have to move Father into a hospital”.
Hana looked at him and was surprised “Shu-Nii. your eyes…”. He was perplexed “what about my eyes?. now that you mention it, I feel something different”. later, after teleporting both of them to Keishi hospital, he disappeared while Hanabi called him “wait…”.
He reappeared at his other part who destroyed almost the entire mountain along with the forest in the vicinity. But thankfully, no other lives were lost as he knew aside from 7 people, there were no people present before he disappeared.
He made a hand seal “Fusion jutsu”. His beast form and the one with Rinnegan fused to form original Shuichi again and looked at the four reanimated figures again formed. He spoke, “So. this is Rinnegan huh. hmm. I wonder If I can complete the jutsu with this eye. well, time to deal with these pests”. He made various hand seals
“Fusion: Ice and Scorch style Pyramid jutsu”
all of them were suddenly frozen in a huge ice pyramid and above it, a blue colour fire orb dropped from the sky on it and it slowly flew down in a spiral path around the ice pyramid. Wherever the blue fire upon contact with the ice instead of vapour, black colour inscriptions started to appear and a huge seal appeared on the middle of the pyramid on all sides.
He smiled “success. but I wonder who is their summoner. He possesses three of seven ninja swordsmen and even Sasori. If i remember it right, isn’t it Zetsu’s job to collect all of Akatsuki members corpses.
so, he must know the user. who can it be?. is it Nagato? or is it Tobi? or maybe a hidden member of Akatsuki. If that’s the case, why was I given that Kage’s corpse instead of a weak one? The biggest question was why Zetsu need me to awaken these eyes to tell me about his true plan?
There’s something that the only user of this Rinnegan can do. I need to find what is it. Moreover, the six tailed has been absorbed already. now only Hachibi and Kyuubi left. I need to inform Tsunade-sama about it now that Jiraya is dead.
Flash forward to a few minutes ago to the time all Pains are wreaking havoc inside the village. He scanned the village and cursed “dammit. I was late. seems like this bas***d intend to destroy the village. but what the hell is Tsunade sama doing other than these slugs healing? I informed about the attack one month ago. why can’t I sense Naruto or Kakashi sensei here? Hinata. where is she?”.
He breathes in relief when he saw her chakra signature. he made a had seal
“Dustless bewildering cover jutsu”.
He became invisible by utilising water vapour to bend the light around him. After completely erasing his presence, he began to move around while destroying two Pains easily.
Back to the present, Pain looked at Shuichi calmly even though he was surprised earlier “so you intend to shield Konoha and the nine tails while betraying my Akatsuki. is that it?”. Shuichi replied “you once again deluding yourself. In the end, you are nothing more than a puppet”. while Pain misunderstood that he was probably referring to Yakiho’s corpse, Madara and Zetsu understood the real meaning behind it.
