Chapter 53: Fugaku's Left Eye
Danzo's figure retreated at the crucial moment, but the shockwave still sent him flying several meters, heavily crashing into the wall.
He grunted, a trace of fresh blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained coldly sinister.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Wave!"
Danzo rapidly formed seals, spitting out several extremely sharp wind blades from his mouth that tore through the air, slashing straight toward Yasushi's neck.
However, the wind blades struck Susanoo's armor, merely splashing a few chakra ripples before being completely dispersed.
"Useless, Danzo."
Yasushi stood at Susanoo's chest position, looking down at him from on high, his voice ice-cold.
"Your Wind Style can't even break through my defense."
"See this?"
"This is the power you've always feared, always coveted!"
"Power like a deity's!"
Danzo narrowed his single eye, yet his lips curled into a coldly sinister smile.
"Is that so?"
"I've long since gathered complete intelligence on you. How could I be unprepared?"
Before his words finished, the surrounding ground suddenly shattered. Dozens of Root ninja charged out from hiding, forming seals. The ground instantly displayed dense sealing jutsu formulas. Chain-like runes coiled around Susanoo's legs like poisonous snakes, rapidly climbing upward!
"Sealing Jutsu: Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
"Sealing Jutsu: Four Symbols Seal!"
Various sealing techniques covered toward Susanoo, making Susanoo's movements suddenly stagnate.
In the shinobi world, sealing techniques were a special existence. Sealing tailed beasts worked, sealing Moryo worked—sealing Susanoo was naturally no exception!
Since the Uzumaki clan's destruction, Konoha, which obtained the most Uzumaki legacy, had undoubtedly become the village most skilled in sealing techniques.
And Yasushi's battle record far exceeded manga Sasuke's. His advance preparation of sealing techniques to deal with Yasushi was perfectly reasonable.
Yasushi's brow slightly furrowed. The Mangekyo Sharingan rotated again, attempting to break free of the restraints. However, more sealing ninja surged from all directions, more sealing techniques following one after another. Chakra chains coiled layer upon layer—for a moment, Susanoo had some difficulty breaking free!
More people, greater power—this wasn't without reason!
Danzo slowly stood up. Beneath his right eye's bandage, crimson light faintly shone through. "The Uchiha's power will ultimately belong to Konoha!"
Yasushi sneered coldly, killing intent surging in his eyes.
"Just with these small fries?"
He reached to remove the medicinal gourd, pulled out the stopper, and poured downward. A massive swarm of Rinkaichū surged out, instantly covering several sealing ninja.
But the usually invincible Rinkaichū suffered setbacks this time.
These ninja pulled out bottles of medicine from their clothes, drank them down, and those Rinkaichū actually retreated one after another, revealing unharmed bodies beneath.
"Hehe..." Danzo laughed sinisterly. "From the day I saw Torune, I had people secretly develop medicine to counter Torune's toxins."
"But since Rinkaichū are such a powerful force, I always kept the medicine secret to prevent information leaks. I didn't even tell Torune."
"As expected, all preparations are meaningful. This medicine came in handy today!"
"Hmph!" Yasushi snorted coldly, pursing his lips. "Never trusting anyone, always guarding against everyone—truly the Shinobi Darkness's style!"
"You clearly knew Aburame Torune was troubled by Rinkaichū's toxicity, desperately needing comrades' recognition, yet didn't give him a chance to return to normal."
"Wonder what Aburame Torune would think knowing all this."
Danzo's expression remained unchanged as he said flatly:
"As a Root ninja, everything about him belongs to me. If he becomes dissatisfied because of this, then he's not a qualified Root ninja!"
The sealing formulas continued contracting, but Uchiha Yasushi wasn't anxious. He leisurely collected the Rinkaichū again, then withdrew his left arm from the black cloak with red clouds, revealing a bare shoulder where a closed eye prominently existed.
Yasushi lightly pressed that eye, saying flatly:
"Other people's awakened Mangekyo Sharingan all have ocular techniques that enhance combat power. But my eyes' ocular techniques are both supportive—not one can boost my combat ability."
"What an awkward matter!"
"So after awakening, I pondered how to enrich my combat methods and achieve a qualitative leap in combat power."
"Susanoo is certainly good, but too monotonous."
"Speaking of which, Danzo, I must thank you for your creative reminder!"
"The Sharingan can grow not only in eye sockets and foreheads—naturally shoulders work too!"
"Since your arm can use Sharingan, there's no reason my arm can't!"
"As an authentic Uchiha, activating Sharingan—the effect must be a hundred times stronger than yours!"
With Yasushi's words, that eye on his left shoulder suddenly opened. In the crimson pupil, three tomoe spun madly, quickly connecting together to form a six-pointed star pattern.
"Say, Danzo, witness 'Wicked-Eyed' Fugaku's left eye's Mangekyo ocular technique!"
"As clan head, he should have used thunderous methods to reorganize the clan but, due to indecision, repeatedly failed to execute, ultimately leading to clan destruction—the ocular technique awakened in his dying moment of infinite regret—"
"Takemikazuchi!"
Before his words finished, the sky suddenly darkened. Heavy thunderclouds gathered from all directions at visible speed, covering the sky and blocking light.
Lightning continuously flashed in the cloud layers, like countless thunder serpents swimming and flashing through the sea of clouds.
Soon, these thunder serpents condensed together, rapidly transforming into a massive thunder dragon that directly plunged down from the sky.
That tremendous lightning power, carrying heaven and earth's might—wherever it passed, the ground became scorched and cracked, rocks melted into red-hot lava, even air could be ionized.
The air filled with acrid ozone smell. Tiny arcs jumped everywhere across the battlefield, chasing human biological electricity, impossible to dodge.
This fundamentally wasn't something ordinary humans could resist. Any ninja touched even slightly would immediately carbonize and disintegrate in blinding white light, dying on the spot without time to scream.
Without continued chakra input, the runic chains originally binding Susanoo's body immediately shattered.
This thunder dragon charged through those sealing ninja, then rapidly rushed toward Danzo.
Facing the ferociously approaching thunder dragon, Danzo's expression immediately changed drastically. His body hurriedly leaped backward, hands rapidly forming seals.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Serial Waves!"
Dozens of extremely sharp wind blades sprayed from Danzo's mouth. Violent wind like knives—steel and stone fragments along the way were all cut into powder. But striking that thunder dragon's body didn't stir half a ripple, immediately dispersing.
The thunder dragon's momentum didn't diminish. Its head reared high, diving down with the momentum to destroy everything.
Before Danzo could change tactics again, that thunder dragon heavily crashed into him, erupting with deafening roar, carrying him on a wild charge, plowing a long furrow in the ground, disappearing far into distant forest depths.
Trees along the way turned to ash the instant they contacted the lightning. The entire forest was forcibly opened with a charred passage.
After the dust settled and one looked again, Danzo himself had already been scorched, surface covered with a glassified shell. The air everywhere filled with the disgusting stench of burnt flesh.
