Chapter 715: Takeminakata

BOOM!

As the fire of life––golden flames of Oshimimi, eternal black flames of Amaterasu, and the white flames of Senjutsu––collided with the red river of death, a loud explosion occurred and cracks appeared on the ground because of the heavy pressure, at the same time, the surroundings were instantly engulfed in heavy mist.

Taking a momentary breather, Danzo took a deep breath and again launched a flurry of attacks using all his Kekkei Genkai, the three Homusubi were not to be outdone and they dealt with all of Danzo’s attacks.

The fierce confrontation on the island continued, the island was reaching the brink of collapse with every collision, however, neither Tsukihi nor Danzo backed down… in their opinion, only one of the two of them will walk out of this battle alive, and the other one will die, even if the island collapses, they aren’t going to stop!

Crack Crack!

Crack Crack!

Whoosh!

With a sharp whistling sound, Homusubi rushed towards Danzo while carrying a Sword covered with Golden Flames in her both of her hands and slashed at him using the two-sword style.

“Your Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is going to be mine!” Danzo shouted, and with a ferocious expression. Even if he was aware of the threat of the Golden flames, his desire to take away Homusubi’s Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is too great that he dared to meet her attack head-on!

Of course, Danzo didn’t forget to defend himself, he used the Crystal Release Kekkei Genkai to cover his body in a very thin but sturdy crystal armor and defended against Homsuubi’s attack, he knew that even with this defense he wouldn’t go unscathed in the face of his desire, he relented.

Clang!

A shrilled sound echoed in the surroundings as Danzo used his forearms to defend against the Homusubi’s swords. But that wasn’t the end of Homusubi’s attack, even if Danzo had managed to defend against her swords using crystal armor, the Golden Flames of Oshihimimi were still waiting.

As Golden Flames started to wrap his body, the crystal armor on his body started to melt and stick to his body, Danzo was agonizing in pain, but he gritted his teeth and looked at Homusubi coldly. A ruthless expression appeared in Danzo’s eyes as instead of distancing himself from Homusubi and trying to put down the flames, he took a step forward and started to absorb those flames inside his body using Dark Release, as he declared, “No one can stop me now!”

“Tch, he is using Dark Release to not only absorb the Golden Flames of Oshihimimi but also my chakra!” Homusubi clicked her tongue in annoyance as she felt her chakra reserves depleting rapidly and Danzo’s Chakra Reserves growing rapidly.

While she tried to distance herself from Danzo, suddenly, her Homusubi mask–which was already quite damaged–fell off, and revealed the face hidden underneath to Danzo.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before him, Danzo was taken aback, and exclaimed, “So it’s you… I wasn’t entirely wrong when I suspected the truth of your death!” and added, “You are younger than I expected.”

In fact, Danzo has long since felt that the female Homusubi is quite young, based on the depth of knowledge that she has displayed so far, Danzo assumed her to be in her mid-thirties or perhaps forties, however, now that he is seeing her appearance, he is surprised that she is a young girl in her late teenage!

Seeing Danzo’s reaction, Homusubi asked with a giggle, “You think?” and then added, “Are you surprised?!”

Danzo shook his head, “Well, not entirely… but for a girl so young, you sure do possess unusual strength… Uchiha Tsukihi!”

Tsukihi smirked, “Is that what you think?” And brought the very same golden flames into the palm of her hand and said, “Well I suppose it doesn’t really matter what you think about me at this stage, I am going to kill you either way.”

Despite the number of burns that were continuously increasing in his body, Danzo resisted the pain and speeded up the absorption speed of Golden Flames, and within a few seconds all the flames disappeared from the battlefield after that Danzo took another step forward as he declared, “I have the same thought… even if I am surprised, it’s irrelevant at this stage as you are going to die soon, and your Visual Prowess will become mine!”

The next moment, a burst of chakra gathered in Danzo’s left eyes, ‘Takeminakata!’

As soon as the Dojustu was used, Tsukihi suddenly felt a sense of loss, ‘The visual prowess of my eyes…!”

Her vision started to go blurry and she couldn’t see anything, heck, Tsukihi even felt the Visual Prowess of her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan disappearing rapidly causing her to panic.

On the other hand, Danzo laughed wildly, ‘Hahahaha… what’s the matter Uchiha girl… what happened? Did you suddenly start to lose Visual Prowess? Hehe… this is the result of my unique Dojutsu Takeminakata… with this, I can absorb anything I want from my enemies! And now that I am absorbing your visual prowess, your visual prowess will become mine!”

“Damn! I didn’t expect that Danzo would still have such an ace up his sleeve!” To think one of the two Dojutsu that Danzo awakened in his Mangekyou Sharingan allows him to absorb Chakra and Visual Prowess from others… this is simply beyond Tsukihi’s expectations.

The only good thing at this moment is that when Danzo used ‘Takeminakata’, ‘Sanzu-no-Kawa’ had disappeared, meaning he doesn’t seem to be able to use both his Dojutsu at the same time.

As the Red River of Death disappeared, both Shisui and Itachi who were still fighting against it were immediately freed and immediately rushed towards Danzo and tried to save her from Danzo.

“Tsukihi-san!”

“Tsukihi!”

Seeing Shisui and the other Homusubi coming toward him, Danzo crackled his mouth, “No one can stop me from becoming the god of this Shinobi World!” and let out a peal of unbridled laughter as countless trees swarmed out of the ground and entangled around Shisui and Itachi, restricting their movements.

“Damn… not only Susano’o but even Wood Release is so strong!” Shisui was taken aback, having implanted the Hashirama cells in his body, he obviously understands Wood Release to some extent, and that’s why he can easily say that the scale of Wood Release that Danzo has displayed is beyond his imagination!

Itachi on the other hand didn’t have too much time on his hand to think about all these issues, he simply used Amaterasu to burn down the trees at the same time, he tried to make an opportunity to seal Danzo inside the Totsuka Sword in order to save Tsukihi. He knows that Tsukihi wants to kill Danzo instead of sealing him, but he can’t take care of all that at this moment. He can see that Tsukihi’s life is in danger, and Shisui is not able to do anything about it because most of his attention is focused on dealing with the trees and roots attacking them, so Itachi must do what he can to save Tsukihi’s life, even if that is going against her order of not sealing Danzo.

Danzo seemed to have perceived the male Homusubi’s intention as he lifted his free hand in his direction and waved it. Immediately, countless wooden vines appeared out of the ground and rushed toward him, this time, the number was a hundred times the number Itachi was dealing with, so he was immediately overwhelmed.

White Shisui and Itachi were held off by the countless tree vines, Homusubi wasn’t better off as Danzo held her by the neck and continued to absorb her visual prowess and chakra, and shouted, “It’s mine… it’s all mine… I will be the true god of Shinobi World!”

Despite being strangled by the neck and her chakra as well as Visual Prowess being constantly drained out of her, Tsukihi wasn’t panicked, she showed a fascinating smile and said, “So it seems that my guess is correct… you really can’t use anything except Wood Release while in this state… huh?”

Tsukihi’s words stunned Danzo.
