Heavenly Subjugation of the Omnipresent God!
The moment their eyes met, Danzō activated the ocular technique of his right eye!
Thud!
Sasuke's pupils trembled as he found himself trapped in a dark crimson dimension, his entire body immobilized. He quickly realized, This is a genjutsu!?
A flash of red light, and Danzō was already closing in!
Even within the illusion, Sasuke's instincts kicked in, prompting him to attempt an evasive maneuver.
But due to the binding effect, his movements were severely restricted. He barely managed to avoid a fatal blow, suffering only the loss of his left arm within the genjutsu!
However, in reality, Sasuke's left arm was severed as well, blood gushing out like a fountain!
"AAAHHHHHHH!!!"
The excruciating pain jolted Sasuke out of the genjutsu. He clutched his severed arm, screaming in agony!
"A mistake? What a pity…" Danzō muttered regretfully, his right eye covered as he observed the Susano'o that surrounded Sasuke.
Boom!
The giant fist of Susano'o came crashing down on Danzō's flesh-and-blood body!
Blood sprayed into the air, but with the power of Izanagi, it all turned into an illusion.
The only reality was Sasuke's lost arm.
The toll on Sasuke's body was immense—the physical exhaustion, the searing pain of the severed limb, and the dizziness from blood loss all gnawed at his willpower.
Boom! The fully-formed Susano'o began to collapse, unable to sustain itself!
Watching from a distance, Kabuto's gaze deepened.
"Heavenly Subjugation of the Omnipresent God," he murmured. "The ocular technique born from Uchiha Kagami's right eye. It traps the target in a genjutsu, binding them and inflicting real damage."
"Kagami, the ancestor of Shisui… This genjutsu rivals Kotoamatsukami in potency, effective even against eyes below the level of the Rinnegan."
Kabuto adjusted his glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold light, much like his unfathomable thoughts.
"But Sasuke, possessing the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, can still resist some of the binding effects within the genjutsu due to his superior ocular power."
"Additionally, the Heavenly Subjugation of the Omnipresent God is a true killing genjutsu. If it fails to deliver a fatal blow, the target will awaken from the illusion due to the pain, creating a risk of counterattack."
"Heh heh heh, and that's precisely the outcome I wanted to see…"
The collapsing Susano'o was barely maintained in its half-body second form by Sasuke's sheer willpower.
Huff… huff… huff… Inside the Susano'o, Sasuke knelt on one knee, clutching his severed arm, panting heavily.
Outside the Susano'o, Danzō looked down at his chest, then raised his gaze. "You managed to exhaust thirty of my eyes. Unfortunately, this is your limit."
Clench!
Sasuke's teeth ground together audibly. He prepared to fire another Kagutsuchi arrow at Danzō!
"Hmph." Danzō sneered coldly, curling two fingers slightly.
During the brief collapse of the Susano'o, Danzō had embedded blades into the ground beneath Sasuke. Now, using Shin's ocular power, he manipulated them to shoot up from the ground within the Susano'o's protective barrier!
"AAARGH!!!" Sasuke screamed as the blades pierced his chest, the pain breaking his concentration.
Boom!
The Kagutsuchi arrow veered off course, striking the ground behind Danzō, who didn't even need to activate Izanagi.
Danzō mocked, "With those eyes of yours, you should've been able to detect the chakra-infused blades beneath the ground. Is it the blood loss that's clouding your vision? Or are you just a failure wasting a pair of good eyes? Either way, it doesn't matter. Soon, you'll be joining your clan in the afterlife!"
Zzzzz!
Danzō curled his fingers again, causing the blade in Sasuke's chest to rotate and drill toward his heart!
"AAAHHHHH!!!" Sasuke screamed, grabbing the blade with his right hand and struggling desperately as blood seeped through his fingers.
Shing! Driven by sheer will to survive, Sasuke wrenched the blade from his chest and extinguished the ocular markings on it with the black flames of Amaterasu.
But the cost was steep—even the half-body Susano'o crumbled!
Whoosh!
Danzō seized the opportunity, forming hand seals and taking a deep breath.
Wind Release: Vacuum Bullets!
Biu! Biu! Biu!
Chakra-infused wind bullets shot out like projectiles, tearing into Sasuke's flesh and sending him flying backward.
Wind Release: Vacuum Blade!
Danzō drew a kunai, exhaling wind chakra that enveloped the blade, forming a razor-sharp wind edge. Charging at full speed, he aimed to deliver the final blow to Sasuke!
Severely injured, bleeding profusely, his chakra depleted, and his consciousness fading, Sasuke couldn't even maintain his Sharingan. Fully aware of his impending death, he recalled Naruto's warning, delivered through Jūgo:
"Sasuke, Danzō isn't in Konoha. He's with Kabuto, seeking to rise again. You'd better strike first!"
What have I been doing all this time?
Haunted by regret, Uchiha Sasuke closed his eyes.
"Die, Uchiha scum!" Danzō roared, his killing intent surging as the wind blade thrust toward Sasuke's heart!
Swish!
At the critical moment, a kunai flew through the air, intercepting the attack!
Danzō's pupils contracted. "This is—!?"
A figure cloaked in purple lightning appeared, traveling through the kunai's trajectory!
Clang!
The wind blade shattered upon contact with the lightning-cloaked figure.
A lightning release powerful enough to overpower wind chakra—a feat only achievable by Uzumaki Naruto's Purple Lightning Chakra Mode!
Lightning Prelude!
Naruto delivered a devastating kick.
Crack!
Lightning crackled as Danzō was sent crashing into the ground!
Whoosh! Naruto retracted his leg and turned to catch Sasuke, holding the unconscious and gravely injured Uchiha in his arms. His Rinnegan glowed with fury beneath his mask.
The delay caused by the Flying Raijin kunai being left only at the Land of Fields' border had cost precious time. If not for that, Naruto wouldn't have allowed Sasuke to suffer such injuries!
Landing softly, Naruto glanced to the side. "Come out."
Rustle, rustle, rustle.
A group of White Zetsu emerged, their expressions tense.
Naruto extended a hand, using gravitational force to retrieve Sasuke's severed arm from a hundred meters away.
Gently laying Sasuke on the ground, he placed the severed arm on the Uchiha's chest.
Naruto stood and addressed the White Zetsu. "Take Sasuke back and heal him immediately."
The White Zetsu hurried forward, lifting Sasuke onto their shoulders.
One of them seemed about to speak, but another interrupted, "Don't say anything. Let's go. If he changes his mind, we're dead!"
Rustle, rustle, rustle.
The White Zetsu disappeared into the earth, carrying the barely-alive Sasuke away.
Naruto turned his gaze toward Danzō, who was climbing out of the crater.
The numerous eyes on Danzō's body were all too familiar to Naruto. After all, in his previous life as Hokage, he had faced Uchiha Shin and his clones.
Those are Shin's eyes. And this number… I see. I understand what Kabuto has done to you.
Naruto's gaze shifted to Danzō's right eye. He murmured, "That right eye… I've never seen it before. A curved Mangekyō pattern. It seems adept at genjutsu. Judging by its chakra color, it shares a bloodline connection with my right eye. Is it Uchiha Kagami's eye, the eye of Shisui's grandfather and Tobirama's student?"
Once again, Naruto faced the enemy who had once driven him to the brink.
Danzō's rage boiled over. "Uzumaki Naruto! You've come just in time! Here and now, I'll erase the shame of the Five Kage Summit and restore the Hokage's glory!"
Naruto's expression remained cold. "Shimura Danzō, tonight you will die. Not even the past Hokage can save you. I swear it in the name of the Hokage!"
