A genjutsu, followed by a swordsmanship technique, both unleashed by Kakashi!
Having hidden his true strength for so long, and playing the part, Kakashi finally revealed his true capabilities the moment he activated his Sharingan!
Although he had already expended a significant amount of chakra, he still had a little over half of his reserves remaining!
Swish!
Kakashi's katana instantly transformed into a streak of icy light, slashing towards Uchiha Ren!
Completely caught off guard by Kakashi's remaining strength, Uchiha Ren was ensnared by Kakashi's genjutsu. When Uchiha Ren broke free from the illusion, all he saw was an ever-enlarging blade tip!
Thwack!
It seemed as though Uchiha Ren saw his own back, and his headless body, with blood gushing from his neck!
In an instant, Uchiha Ren understood. His head had been sliced off by Kakashi and was flying through the air, which was why he could see this!
"Ren..."
The moment the aura around Kakashi shifted, Uchiha Youtsu sensed it. However, before he could react, he saw Uchiha Ren's head being sliced off and flung away by Kakashi. He was instantly horrified!
"Flee!"
Looking at Kakashi's back, Uchiha Youtsu didn't even have the courage to fight. He had no idea what other combat abilities Kakashi possessed. Uchiha Ren, the strongest among them, had been killed. He was terrified and turned to run!
"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"
Kakashi turned his head and gave a cold smile. Since the Uchiha clan dared to ambush him, they would pay the price!
"The Instant Cut just now was only a normal attack. Now, I'll let you experience the real Instant Cut, one of the Hatake Three Swords!"
Instant Cut: Twofold!
Boom!
Kakashi's aura shifted again, just like when he used Lightning Slash. His whole presence was as sharp and intimidating as a blade. Then, Kakashi's body blurred, forming an afterimage as the tip of his blade aimed towards the fleeing Uchiha Youtsu!
Pfft!
A dazzling blade of light flashed, and Uchiha Youtsu's fleeing figure suddenly froze. Then, a torrent of blood gushed out from a cut running from his left shoulder to his right waist, and Uchiha Youtsu's body split into two!
Bang, bang!
Uchiha Youtsu's upper body slammed onto the ground, his eyes wide with unyielding resentment!
If he hadn't fallen for Kakashi's trick, and his chakra hadn't been so depleted, how could he have failed to dodge Kakashi's move!
"Black eyes, useless!"
Looking at the ordinary eyes of the dead Uchiha Youtsu, Kakashi spat, disgusted!
Then, he immediately went to Uchiha Ren's head. He remembered that Uchiha Ren had activated his Sharingan when he broke through his genjutsu!
"Sure enough, two Three-Tomoe Sharingan!"
Seeing that the eyes on Uchiha Ren's head were still the crimson Sharingan, Kakashi was immediately delighted and immediately took out a blank scroll from his ninja tool bag!
Kakashi didn't want to let go of Uchiha Ren's Sharingan. Even if he didn't dare to transplant it onto himself, collecting it would definitely be useful!
Then Kakashi used the tip of his knife to dig out Uchiha Ren's eyes, along with the optic nerves!
"Corpse Part Sealing Technique, Seal!"
Then, Kakashi used the Corpse Part Sealing Technique he had learned from the scroll Kushina, his teacher's wife, had given him to seal Uchiha Ren's eyes into the scroll.
After successfully sealing Uchiha Ren's Sharingan, Kakashi's vision went black, and he immediately passed out!
After using the real Hatake Three Swords, Kakashi's chakra was severely depleted, and his stamina was also severely exhausted!
The only reason he had managed to hold on until now was because he wanted to collect Uchiha Ren's Sharingan. If he had waited until he woke up to collect them, they would have been ordinary eyes, useless!
When Kakashi woke up, the sky was filled with brilliant stars; it was already midnight!
"Heh! Success!"
Only then did Kakashi let out a bitter laugh, filled with both fear and relief. The battle from earlier in the day still felt incredibly dangerous. If he hadn't come up with such a cunning method to drain the two Uchihas' chakra and deceive them, the corpses on the ground might not have been Uchiha Ren and Uchiha Youtsu, but Kakashi himself!
"In my current state, it'll take at least two days before I can recover. Three days have already been wasted on finding Tsunade!"
Feeling his current condition, Kakashi gave a wry smile. "Well, at least I collected a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan. That's some consolation!"
"No wonder the future me gave up the Hatake Three Swords. Using it while burdened by the Sharingan, I pass out every time! Next time, unless it's a matter of life or death, I absolutely cannot use the Hatake Three Swords!"
Kakashi thought about how he'd passed out both times he used the Hatake Three Swords, and he understood even more why the Kakashi in the original story gave up the Hatake clan's swordsmanship later in life!
"Uchiha Fugaku..."
Then, Kakashi murmured, clenching his fists, a cold light flashing in his eyes!
"Forget it, I won't bother with a dead man. I hope you don't provoke me again!"
After a long while, Kakashi sighed. He thought about how Uchiha Fugaku would be killed by his own son in a few years, and decided to let go of the idea of going back to get revenge on Uchiha Fugaku and the Uchiha clan!
Because Kakashi knew he didn't have the strength. Besides, even if he did, Kakashi didn't want his actions to damage the Uchiha clan's strength, causing Uchiha Fugaku to not dare to rebel in a few years, thereby preventing their extermination!
To ensure the Uchiha clan's annihilation in a few years, just like history dictated, he would endure it this time!
But, only this once!
