Naruto: Cultivating to Immortality

Chapter 499 Izanagi 5

The enormous arrow pierced the sky like lightning, hurtling straight toward Shimura Danzo with fierce momentum and astonishing speed! The arrow came with overwhelming force, its speed so fast that Shimura Danzo didn't even have time to react or dodge before being firmly locked onto by the giant arrow.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow had already reached Shimura Danzo and pierced his body mercilessly with overwhelming force! With a dull thud, Shimura Danzo was pinned to the bridge by the giant arrow, blood splattering everywhere and staining the ground beneath him.

Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha, who had unleashed such a terrifying attack from afar, was now panting heavily, large beads of sweat constantly sliding down his forehead. Clearly, the Susanoo he had just unleashed had consumed a tremendous amount of his stamina and chakra. Although this powerful technique granted him unimaginable defensive capabilities and terrifying offensive power, the immense drain it caused was not to be underestimated.

At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha knew very well that if this continued, allowing his chakra to be gradually depleted, defeat would likely be the only outcome. Therefore, he had to find a way to end this battle as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable…

Just then, Sasuke Uchiha's previously somewhat careless gaze suddenly turned incredibly serious. He stared intently at his enemy—Danzo Shimura—inwardly filled with regret. His thunderous attack had been a fraction too slow! That crucial split-second difference allowed Danzo Shimura to successfully activate his annoying, invincible secret technique.

With a dazzling flash of light, Shimura Danzo vanished from his spot, only to reappear unharmed a short distance away. All of Uchiha Sasuke's previous efforts and hard work had once again vanished into thin air; this meticulously planned attack had ultimately become a futile farce.

However, after numerous fierce battles with Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Sasuke did not leave empty-handed. On the contrary, with his keen insight and excellent combat experience, he gradually discovered a huge flaw and limitation in this seemingly invincible secret technique. Every time he finally managed to kill Shimura Danzo, the latter would miraculously revive shortly afterward. But the meticulous Uchiha Sasuke noticed an important detail: each time Shimura Danzo revived, one of the Sharingan eyes embedded in his arm would quietly close.

Moreover, during that thrilling genjutsu duel, when Uchiha Sasuke unleashed the incredibly powerful Amaterasu Technique to launch a fierce attack on Shimura Danzo, he clearly sensed that only when one of the Sharingan on the opponent's arm was not closed could he truly confirm that the opponent had indeed been affected and attacked by the genjutsu.

Sasuke Uchiha stared wide-eyed at his enemy. Although he knew nothing about the secret technique his opponent was using, he could clearly sense the unique aura of the Uchiha clan within the strange and powerful energy fluctuations. After some observation and thought, Sasuke became absolutely certain that his opponent was using a terrifying technique listed as a forbidden jutsu of the Uchiha clan.

This forbidden technique requires the consumption of Sharingan to activate, and its power is astonishing. Sasuke couldn't help but gasp, countless questions instantly flooding his mind: Where did the opponent obtain such forbidden power from? And how did they acquire so many Sharingan to drive this forbidden technique? Thinking of the Uchiha clan members who were brutally slaughtered, even having their eyes cruelly gouged out after death, Sasuke's anger erupted like a volcano, burning fiercely.

The once warm and harmonious family is now shattered, and the blood of loved ones has stained every inch of the land. The culprit behind all this tragedy is likely the Hidden Leaf Village, which is manipulating everything from behind the scenes! They claim to protect peace, yet they secretly ruthlessly slaughter the Uchiha clan. Such hypocritical behavior fills Sasuke with deep disgust and hatred.

"Konoha... I will utterly destroy you!" Sasuke vowed through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with determination and killing intent. Only by making Konoha pay a heavy price could he quell the surging hatred in his heart; only in this way could his departed family members find true peace.

At that moment, Shimura Danzo's already gloomy face grew even more serious. He frowned deeply, his eyes revealing an unprecedented level of vigilance and caution. Uchiha Sasuke's fierce and swift attacks made him realize that defeating him easily and quickly had become almost a pipe dream.

Meanwhile, not far away, the mysterious masked man, like a hungry cheetah, lurked silently, his eyes hidden behind the mask fixed on the fierce battle, as if ready to pounce and deliver a fatal blow at any moment. Faced with such a formidable enemy surrounding him, Shimura Danzo knew he couldn't devote all his strength to dealing with Uchiha Sasuke alone; he had to conserve enough power to defend against any potential attack from the masked man.

Danzo Shimura lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on his arm. There, five Sharingan eyes still shone with an eerie light, like five burning sparks, flashing a chilling red glow. Looking at these Sharingan eyes, Danzo made a silent resolution—he would unleash his long-hidden trump card in the next minute, crushing Uchiha Sasuke with overwhelming force and ending this time-consuming and exhausting battle. After all, if this endless entanglement continued, he would gradually exhaust his strength, and at that point, let alone defeating the masked man, even self-preservation would become a huge problem.

"Summoning Jutsu!" As Danzo Shimura's deep and urgent shout rang out, his hands, as dry as old tree bark, began to rapidly form complex hand seals at a dazzling speed.

In the blink of an eye, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the previously dim space. Immediately afterward, a violent tremor followed, as if the entire earth itself was shaking.

As the light faded, everyone finally saw the scene before them—a gigantic summoned beast, as large as an elephant, had appeared in the arena. Its massive body resembled a small hill, radiating a chilling aura.

This summoning beast is named 'Mo', and it is a powerful trump card that Shimura Danzo has always kept hidden. He never easily showed it to others, but now, facing the formidable enemy Uchiha Sasuke, he did not hesitate to summon it.

The instant 'Mo' appeared, its hideous head snapped shut, its eyes, the size of copper bells, locking onto Uchiha Sasuke not far away. Then, it opened its gaping maw, large enough to swallow an entire house, and an incredibly terrifying suction force erupted from it, sweeping directly towards Uchiha Sasuke's Susanoo.

The suction force was extremely powerful, stirring up dust and gravel wherever it passed, forming a massive tornado. Uchiha Sasuke, caught in the whirlwind, felt unprecedented pressure.

However, Uchiha Sasuke was no ordinary person. Faced with such a fierce attack, he did not panic. He gritted his teeth and focused all his chakra on trying to stabilize himself.

Despite Sasuke's desperate efforts to resist the terrifying suction, the opponent was simply too powerful. Gradually, he found himself involuntarily moving closer to the gaping maw of the 'mo'.

In this critical moment, Sasuke Uchiha knew that if he were sucked into that enormous mouth, the consequences would be unimaginable. So, he made a decisive move, using all his strength to pour more chakra into Susanoo in an attempt to resist the suction force.

After a grueling struggle, Sasuke Uchiha managed to regain his footing and avoid being swallowed by the suction force. However, because all his energy was focused on fighting the suction, he completely lost the opportunity to move and was now entirely on the defensive.

Just then, Shimura Danzo keenly seized this fleeting opportunity! He flashed forward like a ghost, rapidly moving along one side of the bridge wall, his target Uchiha Sasuke's back.

It's important to understand that while Susanoo's defensive capabilities are astonishing, it is not invincible. Its very back lies the weak point of the entire defensive system.

At the same time, the "bread" wielded by Shimura Danzo displayed an extremely terrifying devouring power. This power relentlessly eroded Susanoo, causing fine cracks to appear on its once indestructible armor, which gradually widened and crumbled. As time passed, more and more of the armor peeled away, eventually exposing the internal skeletal structure.

At that critical moment, Shimura Danzo appeared silently behind Uchiha Sasuke like a ghost. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and an incomparably powerful wind-style energy surged out, like a ferocious dragon rushing straight towards the unsuspecting Sasuke.

The sudden attack caught Sasuke off guard, but as a genius ninja with the Sharingan, his reaction speed was extraordinary. Almost simultaneously, he unleashed his Susanoo with all his might, attempting to block the fierce blow.
