65Eye of Still WaterAI Model: gemini-3.0-flashChapter 65: Shisui's Eye
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Vacuum Bullets suddenly exploded against Hiruko's wooden shell, erupting into a violent spray of air currents.
However, Sasori only gave a cold snort.
The metal tail on his back suddenly swept across, blocking all the aftershocks.
At the same time, dozens of Puppets had already retreated from the main battlefield, blocking Danzo's path of advancement.
"Go! Cover Lord Danzo!"
As Konoha's top suicide squads, these Root elites quickly regained their composure and formed a defensive formation.
They resisted the Performance of a Hundred Puppets on the front line while simultaneously pinning down the long-range elemental Ninjutsu attacks from Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Fear.
High up in the sky.
Deidara let out an excited scream, diving down while piloting a giant clay bird.
His hands continuously threw out C1 Clay Spiders, and each dive kicked up a blood-colored air wave behind the Root forces.
"Bastard! Shoot that guy in the sky down!"
A Root Jonin roared as he threw a Fuma Shuriken, only to be toyed with by Deidara's nimble ascent.
"This is art! Hm!"
Before his voice could fade.
A dark shadow suddenly rose from the ground.
Deidara's pupils constricted as he saw a mass of black ink rapidly take shape in mid-air.
A giant ink bird with a wingspan dozens of meters wide screeched as it pounced toward him.
"What is that?!"
In the next second, the ink bird slammed hard into the wing of the giant clay bird, its massive impact instantly disrupting the flight balance.
A pale-skinned youth appeared before Deidara's eyes.
Sai didn't waste any words, his brush moving rapidly across the scroll.
Super Beast Imitating Drawing: Complete Collection of Armor!
Instantly, several more ink lions leaped out of thin air, lunging to bite Deidara.
Seeing that two of the four Akatsuki members were successfully pinned down by his subordinates, Danzo focused his gaze on the remaining two.
In the field, Hidan charged from the flank like a mad dog, carrying his Triple-Bladed Scythe.
"For Lord Jashin, be sacrificed!"
He shrieked while swinging his scythe, but Danzodidn't even lift an eyelid.
The moment that blood-red edge was about to reach him, the cane in his hand slammed down.
A powerful burst of Wind Release Chakra erupted, directly blasting Hidan and his scythe away.
"Hmph, a madman with no discipline."
Danzo commented coldly.
As the distance between him and Sasori grew shorter, a curve formed at the corner of Danzo's mouth.
The scales of victory were tipping in his favor.
Hidan was blown away, Kakuzu was pinned down by the Root Ninjas, and Deidara in the sky was being pursued by Sai in a sorry state.
As for this Puppet master before him—
No matter how ingenious the mechanisms, they were ultimately just dead objects.
Perhaps he had overestimated the opponent's combat power before due to Itachi's influence.
It seemed now... Akatsuki was nothing more than this.
Sasori unfolded Hiruko, the sounds of countless small mechanisms clicking together.
In the next instant, a dense swarm of poisoned needles, Kunai, and Shuriken shot out from every crevice of the Puppet.
It was like a metal rainstorm covering dozens of meters.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Wall!"
Danzo spread his arms.
High-speed air currents visible to the naked eye suddenly took shape in front of him, turning into a rotating transparent wall of wind.
Clang, clang, clang—!
The moment all the hidden weapons touched the wind wall, they were all crushed, deflected, and sent flying backward, embedding themselves into the ground and rock walls.
What if there were many mechanisms?
They were perfectly countered by his Wind Release.
Danzo's gaze was cold, and his hands had already begun to rapidly form seals.
Chakra was compressed and purified within his body.
This was a powerful move sufficient to end the battle in one strike.
However, just at that moment.
One of the ordinary Kunai bounced off by the Wind Release suddenly flashed with an extremely faint light as it tumbled in mid-air.
Danzo didn't even notice.
In the next instant, a Yellow Flash appeared less than a body's width away from him.
Cursed Seal Sage Mode... Tailed Beast Transformation... Eight Gates: Gate of Wonder, Open!
Black, red, and blue—the three colors intertwined simultaneously.
At this moment, Naruto erupted into his unprecedented strongest state!
Danzo suddenly turned around.
However, it was too late.
In that instant, he didn't even have time to mobilize his Chakra; he only felt a cold killing intent already pressed against the side of his face.
The next second.
Puchi—!
Blood splattered.
A Soul-tearing pain suddenly shot from his right eye.
"Ah—!!!"
Danzo's scream had just started when it was abruptly cut off.
Naruto's fingers had already delved into his flesh.
Precise, cold, without a single redundant movement.
It was as if he had rehearsed this moment countless times.
Gouge.
Pull.
Detach.
That Shisui Sharingan, which housed the Kotoamatsukami, was forcibly removed from Danzo's eye socket.
Blood poured out wildly from under the bandages, and Danzo stumbled back, the right side of his face almost completely dyed red.
His world seemed to have a piece missing at this moment.
Not just his vision.
But also his proudest, most secret trump card.
"Uzumaki Naruto—!!!"
Danzo's voice was hoarse and distorted, filled with unbelievable rage.
But Naruto didn't give him the slightest chance.
The moment the Sharingan was in his hand, without any hesitation.
He activated the Flying Thunder God again and vanished from the spot.
At the same time, Sasori also finished his preparations.
A Human Puppet was summoned.
The Third Kazekage.
In the next moment, an overwhelming amount of Iron Sand gushed out from behind the Puppet like a black torrent.
The ground was instantly covered.
The air was completely torn apart.
Magnet Release: Iron Sand World Order!
Countless pitch-black Iron Sand thorns pierced through Danzo's body in an instant.
"The Darkness of the Ninja World is nothing more than this..."
Sasori slowly retracted his Chakra threads, and the sky full of black Iron Sand thorns trembled slightly in the air.
"Mission accomplished. We can retreat."
...At home.
Feeling the Sharingan still pulsing in his hand, Naruto took a deep breath.
Finally, he made up his mind.
A stream of Chakra was slowly poured into his left eye, numbing the pain.
Then, he used a Chakra Scalpel to carefully remove it bit by bit.
After placing Shisui's eye into the socket, Narutoactivated Lightning Release: Neural Network Restoration.
The previous reserves of Medical Ninjutsu played their role at this moment.
As cells and nerves continuously connected, fused, and regenerated, light returned to his left eye.
"It really is plug-and-play..."
Although there were still many rejection reactions since he did not have the Uchiha Bloodline.
But at least, Kotoamatsukami, Shisui's exclusive ocular technique, was now available for his use.
There were now three main problems:
First, just like Kakashi's situation, Naruto could not actively deactivate the Sharingan and could only keep it in an active state.
This also meant that this Sharingan would constantly consume his Chakra.
Fortunately, compared to Kakashi, his Chakra was much more abundant.
Second, this Sharingan could only maintain the Three-Tomoe state and could not evolve into a Mangekyo, let alone an Eternal Mangekyo.
Besides Kotoamatsukami, Naruto could only enjoy the basic effects of the Sharingan.
Advanced ocular techniques like Amaterasu and Susanoo were completely out of the question.
Third, without the support of Hashirama cells, the cooldown for Kotoamatsukami was as long as ten years.
"I must find a way to resolve the rejection reaction and obtain Hashirama cells at the same time."
Naruto thought secretly about his future plans.
But for now, there was still one task before him—
Kill Danzo!
