"I have seen Itachi use that before, but it seems like yours is better than his. Being able to change the flame's shape and all."
"I can see that you don't need either of your eyes to control the shape of the Amaterasu. Looks like your Amaterasu has a built-in ability to change its shape, so you don't even need to use other jutsu with your eye to control them."
"Now I'm eager to see more Visual Jutsu your eyes can offer. Your potential is definitely higher than Itachi, and your Mangekyo is just different. You just awakened your Mangekyo not so long ago, so I think you will discover more as time goes on. I'm really interested!"
"But I know for a fact, that the side effects from using that jutsu are quite severe. Using them puts a great strain on your eyes and body. Normally, it should only be used once a day."
Mei finally saw Ryoha's first Visual Jutsu. However, she was both surprised and familiar with that jutsu. It was obvious that she had already faced this jutsu when she was fighting with Itachi.
Others might be very afraid of the Amaterasu, but she was not afraid at all. She was just surprised to see Ryoha's Amaterasu and Mangekyo were much different from Itachi's.
Normally, Amaterasu could only be used once a day. She also understood the characteristics of that jutsu. When Ryoha finally closed the eye that fixated on her, the Amaterasu would no longer chase her. It could only be used once, but she could use her Lava Release many times. Even if her Lava Release was not as powerful as the Amaterasu, she could still use them repeatedly to resist the black flames.
"Yeah, using them once is enough. I don't intend to let this battle last so long. Paralysis Genjutsu!" Ryoha covered his right eye, but his left eye was still fixated at Mei. He shouted in a low voice, but inside he was surprised at Mei's attentiveness.
He didn't expect that she could accurately guess that his Mangekyo was not comparable to the ordinary Sharingan the Uchihas possessed. Combined with the Nine-tails Chakra and the Wood Release's power, his Sharingan's power was miles ahead.
His sharing was also constantly evolving. Mei was right. Although Ryoha could only use one Visual Jutsu with each eye, He was sure that his eyes were better than this. The hidden potential of his eyes had yet to be unleashed.
As he continued to develop, Ryoha was sure that each of his eyes would have more than one Visual Jutsu, so he was surprised by Mei's analysis. She could notice the small details and found his secrets.
Mei immediately felt her whole body stiffen. It was like she got bind and was unable to move. She knew it was not her physical body that was bound, but her spirit. She was under the effects of Ryoha's genjutsu.
"With your powerful spiritual energy, plus your superb genjutsu mastery and the Mangekyo, your Paralysis Genjutsu is really powerful. But do you really think that you can defeat me with just that?"
Mei didn't lose her cool at all. She was indeed a strong woman in the original work who would not change her expression even if her chakra was completely absorbed. Calm and wise, these words would describe her pretty well.
"Well, I'm not arrogant enough to think that I can defeat you with my current strength. With your power, you can be ranked at the top among the many Kage-level ninjas in this world, all while still holding back your true strength. I'm sure that you have been hiding your true power all along, so how could I defeat you with my current strength?"
"I told you that my purpose for coming here today is not to fight you but to let Haku take back what belongs to her. I think it's time to leave now."
Ryoha let go of the hand that was covering his right eye. He ignored Mei who was bound by the Paralysis Genjutsu and was not worried that she would attack him. He strode into the hall that had been frozen.
When Ryoha stepped into the hall, Mei's body turned into mist. It was not an ordinary mist, but the mist that she sprayed out when she used her Boil Release. Ryoha was right.
Whether in the battle between her and Sasuke in the original work or the battle with Ryoha now, she did not fight seriously at all. Even when she attacked Madara along with the Five Kage, she was still holding back. At least she had never used this secret technique when facing Madara.
Born in Kirigakure, a bloody place where she had seen many brutal things, Mei was best at protecting herself. She needed to be prepared for anything, so she had been constantly amassing unknown trump cards.
She would never expose herself unless her life was threatened. This kind of person was the most terrifying. This was because you had no idea how much strength she had hidden. When you thought that she had already lost, she suddenly used a trump card to turn the tables. This was the most frightening part.
"Turning her body into high-temperature mist using the Boil Release... Hehe, it's really amazing. Even if I could restrain her spirit, other attacks can't hurt her physical body. This jutsu enables her to dodge almost everything, and melt the approaching enemy at the same time."
"Compared to the Logia powers from the anime called One Piece, it is more perfect. Not only can she be immune to physical attacks, but she can also attack while dodging and defending. It is simply a powerful secret technique that enables her to attack and defend at the same time."
"Well, she has two Bloodline Limits after all. There should be more to be expected. Sure enough, she really knows how to hide her powers. No wonder Madara can't do anything to her."
Although Ryoha did not turn around to look, all of Mei's performance was exposed to his Inverted Cross Mangekyo. Because in the dark, there were two shadow clones observing Mei's changes. Just now, one of them had disappeared. He had obtained the experience from one shadow clone. Of course, he also knew what the shadow clone saw.
"Haku, what's taking you so long?" Ryoha seemed to be completely unprepared for Mei behind him, but he was actually preparing a counterattack in secret.
He wouldn't be able to resist Mei's attacks. This woman was someone he could not afford to offend right now. Compared to the Sage Mode Jiraiya Ryoha felt that this woman was more terrifying.
