Chapter 653: Kakashi Acts
‘Only one pair of people can evolve… Is he going to be the one…?’
‘Only one pair of people will evolve… will it be her?’
“No… Never… It can’t possibly be him!”
“It can’t possibly be her… “It has to be me!”
Almost simultaneously, whether it was Danzo or Homusubi, they both had the same answer in their hearts…
““It’s got to be me!””
They want their Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to evolve regardless of the circumstances… They both knew they couldn’t allow the other party’s dojutsu to evolve since they were fully aware of the long-term ramifications if the other party’s dojutsu evolved.
Both Homusubi and Shimura Danzo have their own motives and motivations in this regard.
Leaving aside the matter of the other six Kekkei Genkai fusing in Danzo’s body, the presence of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in Danzo’s possession is already a major threat that Homusubi must not overlook.
If Danzo’s eyes continue to transform into the Rinnegan, it will spell disaster not only for her but for the entire Shinobi World.
With Rinnegan in his possession and the identity of Konoha’s interim Hokage agent, Danzo will be able to influence the whole shinobi world… Initially, this is not a bad thing, but with Danzo’s mentality and aspirations of uniting and governing over the entire shinobi world under Konoha’s flag, the path the shinobi world will progress under his supervision will be doom for most…
Not to mention that if Danzo is discovered, the actual potential of Chimera Jutsu and the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual will be revealed to the whole Shinobi World.
So, whether for the sake of the Shinobi World as a whole or for the sake of her own future intentions, Homusubi cannot stand Danzo.
Danzo, like Homusubi, has his own motives… and to be honest, his predicament is far worse than Homusubi’s.
The lives of over 1500 Konoha Shinobi are on the line as a price for the evolution of his dojutsu… One of the darkest betrayals in the Shinobi World’s history is killing the shinobi of his own village in order to gain a higher level of power.
If the entire shinobi world learns of this incident, Danzo will be labeled as one of the most dangerous renegade shinobi ever.
Even yet, given his present strength, this isn’t a major issue…
The greater issue is the ramifications of becoming an enemy of the Amatsukami Organization.
Danzo is well aware that whether his dojutsu evolves or not, Amatsukami will pursue him… As a result, he wishes to obtain a higher-ranked Dojutsu in order to ensure that he has the capacity to protect himself against Amatsukami.
As a result, he can’t let Homusubi succeed no matter what; because if she does, it will be a huge problem for him.
With such thoughts running through both of their heads, their eyes met for a brief moment, and they each recognized what the other was up to… Both of them realized that this combat was unavoidable and that they could neither retreat nor surrender.
Danzo realized this and, without caring about the implications of chakra consumption, he clasped his hands together with a ‘snap’ sound, releasing all of his reserves with an explosive burst.
Boom…!
An explosion happened as all of the chakras within his body appeared in physical form, powerful winds blew, and the ritual platform beneath his feet collapsed.
Roar!
The dark red Susano’o he projected let out a ferocious demon-like roar and began to undergo new alterations with the help of Danzo’s Chakra reserves.
As skeletal muscles grew, the Susano’o quickly developed in bulk, along with gaining arms, legs, and wings… In less than a minute, it became a Complete Body Susano’o.
Danzo’s Susano’o had a pair of Oni-like horns over its head and many monsters with sharp fangs in its mouth, which was an unexpected alteration… As a result of these two alterations, Danzo’s Susano’o appeared to be the incarnation of a Majin of war rather than the incarnation of God of war.
Homusubi couldn’t help but shudder when she saw Danzo’s Susano’o, ‘Complete Body Susano’o? Is he already capable of using Susano’o’s entire body?’
Even after awakening the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, it takes a lot of time and training for the Uchiha Clansmen to be able to use the complete body Susano’o, thus it’s rather remarkable that Danzo can use it right away.
Furthermore, the size of Danzo’s complete body Susano’o… It’s too large… twice as big as Homusubi’s complete body Susano’o body.
It immediately changed the course of the combat and tipped the battle to Danzo’s advantage the moment it acted.
Homusubi, on the other hand, was not to be outdone… Even with the half-size Susano’o, she used her tactics and experience to defeat Danzo’s Susano’o.
Bang, Bang…
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The volcanic cave shook once again during the furious conflict between the two complete body Susano’o, reaching the limit of what it can withstand before bursting out.
“Heh… things are starting to get interesting…” Orochimaru grinned as he whispered.
Orochimaru’s demeanor was serene… Everything on the battlefield seemed to be going according to plan… And based on his behavior, he clearly has something up his sleeve that he hasn’t shown yet.
Maybe he’s just waiting for the right moment… The chance to change everything and emerge as the biggest winner from this ordeal.
…
Kakashi couldn’t take it any longer as he watched the Konoha Shinobi die one by one…
He knew that acting irresponsibly here might make him a traitor to Konoha, but he couldn’t keep watching and do nothing…
His devotion to Konoha wouldn’t let him stand by and watch as other villagers perish in vain before his very eyes…
Kakashi couldn’t help but think as he made up his decision to act. ‘Heh… Otou-sama… Despite the fact that the circumstance I’m in is not the same as yours, what I’m experiencing right now is probably not too different from how you felt when you decided to abandon your mission… I finally understand you… and your intentions…’
He let out a sigh and then shook his head… Then the look in his eyes shifted…
In his eyes, he exuded seriousness and maturity like never before.
With a fresh look on his face, Kakashi reached into his Shinobi bag and pulled out numerous Kunai…
Whiish… Whiish… Whiish… Whiish… Whiish… Whiish…
All the Kunai were thrown at different angles.
And the very next moment, he disappeared.
Whoosh…
