Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 654: Orochimaru Joins the Battle

Whiiish…

With an air-cutting sound, a specially marked Kunai was nailed at the foot of a Root Shinobi.

The sudden appearance of Kunai out of nowhere surprised the Root Shinobi and prompted him to take the battle stance…

Chiiirrrpppp…

But before he had the time to figure out how and where the kunai came from, he found an arm clad in sliver-blue lightning through his chest, and at the same time, the very iconic sound of chirping of thousands of birds entered his ears…

“Hata… ke… Kak… as… h-…!”

Before he could finish his words, his body turned cold and he lost all signs of life.

The death of the Root shinobi was noticed by one of the other Root shinobi who immediately alerted all the other shinobi present in the surroundings.

“Enemy Attack…!”

“Everyone… be careful… it’s an enemy attack…!”

“And the one attacking us is none other than Hatake Kakashi…”

“Are you kidding me? As far as I know, Hatake Kakashi has mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique… how are we supposed to deal with that bug Jutsu…?”

Instantly, Kakashi became the center of attention of all Root Shinobi, and the situation turned chaotic.

…

Back in the Volcanic cave

Under the raw power of Danzo’s demonic Susano’o, Homusubi’s Golden Susano’o was constantly suppressed and forced to the corner of the cave.

Undoubtedly, in the battle of pure physical power, Homusubi’s Susano’o is no match for Danzo’s Susano’o. In fact, not only her, even Shisui and Obito’s Susano’o are not matched against Danzo’s Susano’o, in raw physical power at least. Danzo’s Susano’o is really strong.

“Damn it!” Homusubi gritted her teeth… She could feel that Danzo was gradually gaining an advantage even in the battle of absorbing the Yin-Yang chakra, and this is clearly not a good thing for Homusubi, because it means that Danzo is reaching closer and closer to awakening the Rinnegan…

Looking into Danzo’s eyes, Homusubi noticed that the pattern of Danzo’s Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan has started to distort… the scarlet and black color of the Tomoe and copy wheel has started to change into violet color with a ripple pattern.

All signs indicate that Danzo’s Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is close to evolving to the next stage.

While Homusubi was worried and panicked, Danzo on the other hand was excited… As he realized that he is gaining a dominant position and his dojutsu is reaching closer and closer to evolution, and he is reaching closer and closer to becoming a true god, he became more and more ecstatic, and roared, “Hahaha… I… I will become the true god of the Shinobi world and make it bow down at my fe-…!”

Before Danzo could finish his words, something that Danzo never wanted to happen happened…

Danzo who was traveling on cloud nine suddenly felt his heart cold and his body frozen…

The chakra transmission was suddenly cut off…

Along with the cut-off of chakra supply, even Danzo’s Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan–which was only a few steps away from evolving into the Rinnegan also stagnated and reverted back to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Time seems to have stopped all of a sudden, and the two Susano’o who were engaged in combat also stopped in their respective positions.

‘Thankfully it stopped…’ Homusubi breathed a sigh of relief…

Although Tsukihi doesn’t exactly know what caused the Chakra Transmission Array to malfunction all of a sudden and stopped the Chakra transmission, she is really glad that it happened, ‘If a lunatic like him awakened the Rinnegan, then it would have been doom for the entire shinobi world…’

Just imagining the situation with Danzo having the Rinnegan scares Tsukihi to the core.

Seeing that the ritual has come to a stop midway, Orochimaru chuckled lightly, “What a pity… I was just a step away from witnessing a miracle…”

Orochimaru’s words brought everyone back to their senses, especially Danzo.

He glanced at Orochimaru for a moment with a blank expression, then his expression started to change, and within a few seconds he was shouting like a maniac, “It’s all because of you bastards…! You people are again and again hindering me…! Why?! Why are you bugs not kneeling before me like obedient servants?! Why don’t all of you JUST DIE?!”

With each of his words, the chakra emanating from his body became more and more violent.

And different from before, this time Danzo wasn’t restrained at all.

ROAR…!

Danzo’s madness caused the Dark Red Susano’o of his to enter the berserker mode and roar like a mad beast.

Along with the roar, a spiritual attack that directly attacks the soul was also released and once again shook the entire cave.

And as if that wasn’t already more than enough, even the crimson red corrosive mist also spread within the volcanic cave.

“Ah…”

“I… I… can’t breathe…!”

“My… arm…”

All the shinobi within the cave who didn’t have a way to protect themselves from the corrosive mist and soul-shaking roar instantly became prey to Danzo’s hysteria.

Homusubi was lucky enough to have the protection of Susano’o over her body that’s why she didn’t instantly fall prey to the corrosive mist, otherwise, perhaps even she might have turned into nothingness…

Relieved and alert, she quickly released her Susano’o, and instantly used the Body Flicker Jutsu to appear next to Orochimaru and angrily scolded him, “You created this mess… now find a way to deal with it immediately…!”

It was exactly as Homusubi said, if not for Orochimaru, Danzo would have long since died and they wouldn’t have to face this trouble before them right now!

Orochimaru said, “Well I suppose both of us agree that a lunatic like him should really be buried here…”

Homusubi sighed and stated, “It’s about time you use all your cards… else, the situation will completely get out of our hands.”

Homusubi didn’t know what cards does Orochimaru still have, but she knows that there must be something. Especially considering that the snake inside which he was hiding until now has almost melted under corrosion, but there are no signs of Orochimaru panicking even the slightest.

It definitely means that Orochimaru is still confident of his win…

The only reason he hasn’t used that card of his is that he is still eying Danzo’s body.

Homusubi understands this very well, so obviously, she won’t be idiot enough to let Orochimaru take advantage here.

Understanding that he can no longer act as a bystander, Orochimaru smiled awkwardly, and then without speaking any nonsense, he bit his finger, weaved the hand signs, and then tapped on the ground, ‘Edo Tensei no Jutsu!’
