Chapter 926: Counterattack!
Chapter 926: Counterattack!
"Even if it's blurry, I can still see your disgusting face!"
Sasuke covered his eyes, as if in excruciating pain.
His acting skills had indeed improved.
Because his Sharingan, unlike what Danzo imagined, was not that fragile.
In the original storyline, he did indeed blind himself from overusing the Sharingan in a short period.
But this was no longer the original plot.
With Tang Ping's help in enhancing his physical qualities and providing multiple bottles of Splendor Potion, his eye power had already reached its peak before evolving into the Sharingan: Trisected Pupil.
Although it still couldn't compare to Mei and Izumi's Sharingan, it was far superior to the shortcuts taken by Uchiha Obito and Itachi.
This was true for both his resilience and eye power.
Especially when it came to bleeding!
This was entirely intentional on Sasuke's part.
Otherwise, using the Sharingan like this would only cause some eye irritation, and it wouldn't be as exaggerated as this.
"Wind Style: Whirling Wind Blades!"
Danzo unleashed his S-rank Wind Style technique.
In the past, this technique was indeed worthy of its S-rank status.
However, after Tang Ping raised the upper limit of the ninja world, this Wind Style, which only appeared powerful, no longer deserved the S-rank classification.
For instance, techniques like 'Great Snake Slash', 'Earthfire Inferno', and 'Lightning Bird' were all S-rank and had their unique strengths and advantages. Compared to these, Whirling Wind Blades fell short in both power and chakra consumption.
"Susano'o!"
Sasuke didn't have time to dodge or cast a defensive ninjutsu, so he could only rely on Susano'o to withstand the attack.
Compared to the Raikage's hand-tearing technique, Danzo's Wind Style was more spectacular but less threatening, allowing Sasuke to easily withstand it with just the first stage of Susano'o.
Initially, he might have been torn to shreds.
There was no choice; after the previous incident where Susano'o was torn apart, Sasuke had become more cautious.
"Your eyes...?"
Danzo looked at Sasuke's bleeding eyes with some hesitation.
His Sharingan eye power should have been exhausted long ago.
Even if the eye power wasn't completely depleted, shouldn't he be in a state where he couldn't see clearly?
It could only be said that Danzo had a lot of information about the Sharingan, especially due to the data he obtained from Itachi and Shisui, which allowed him to determine Sasuke's limits and current state.
As for Uchiha Mei and Izumi?
Danzo had no way of obtaining data on their Sharigan.
It could be said that his plan against Sasuke was entirely based on the data he had on the Sharingan.
In his assessment, Sasuke's eyes should have reached their limit by now.
So, seeing Sasuke barely maintaining Susano'o came as a surprise.
But after the initial surprise, Danzo felt relieved.
Because if Sasuke didn't have this hidden strength, he wouldn't have come to seek revenge.
"Uchiha brat, witness the power of Wood Release!" Danzo, after confirming that Sasuke had no other tricks up his sleeve, performed hand seals and shouted, "Wood Release: Descent of the Tree World!"
Yes, after the fusion with the Kibara Technique, he had finally reached this level.
He could now use this level of Wood Release.
To be clear, it wasn't the 'Tree World Arrival' but its lower-ranked version, 'Descent of the Tree World'.
However, even as a lower-ranked version, it was still Wood Release, and its power was astonishing.
Boom! The ground began to rumble, and beneath the stone bridge, vines broke through the earth, transforming into trees that entangled the purple Susano'o, which had entered the second stage and gained flesh and blood.
Yes, Danzo was going to use Wood Release to crush Sasuke's Susano'o.
Countless vines, like poisonous snakes, surged from around the stone bridge, wrapping around the massive purple Susano'o.
After witnessing this, a satisfied expression appeared on Danzo's face.
He had finally captured his opponent.
However, he didn't notice the same glint in Sasuke's eyes.
It was hard to tell who was the hunter and who was the prey!
Sasuke's greatest advantage over Danzo was his superior intelligence.
So, he only had one chance.
The impressions he created at this moment were to make Danzo believe that he was in a desperate situation, completely helpless.
Now was the opportunity.
Danzo looked at Susano'o, tightly bound by vines and unable to move, and felt an unprecedented surge of excitement.
Then, he slowly walked up to Sasuke.
Even if it was Susano'o, what of it?
It was insignificant before his Wood Release, and now it was about to be crushed by the tightening vines.
Crack!
Susano'o was 'crushed' by the vines, and they wrapped around Sasuke, leaving only his face exposed.
It was as if a human face had sprouted from the tree.
"Sharingan: Trisected Pupil!"
Danzo's voice was tinged with urgency.
Even the usually calm Danzo couldn't help but lose his composure when faced with a pair of Sharingan: Trisected Pupil staring back at him.
At this moment, Stone Bridge was surrounded by a small forest growing from below, and Danzo didn't think anyone could disturb him from harvesting the eyes.
The one called Chougo, Sasuke's subordinate, had already pursued the remnants of the Root Division and left, so there was no time to come back and rescue anyone.
But just at this moment, Sasuke, who seemed to be on the verge of death, suddenly changed his expression and said, "You filthy rat, what right do you have to covet the Uchiha's power?"
As he spoke, his aura transformed from weakness to strength.
Bad!
Danzo instantly sensed something amiss, and just as he was about to retreat.
Zizla!
A flash of lightning passed behind him.
In a split second, a long sword with an electric glow had severed his left arm.
Hiss! Simultaneously, a snake as thick as a thigh quickly swallowed his arm and then dissipated into white mist, disappearing from sight.
Indeed!
This was the main reason why Sasuke had repeatedly shown weakness.
The Resurrection Coin! No, it should be said that those were the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Dozens of Sharingan eyes represented dozens of lives, which was enough to make Sasuke wary.
So in his plan, he had to make Danzo relax and let his guard down, then instantly sever the opponent's left arm.
Since it wasn't about killing the opponent, it was natural not to alert them, and they wouldn't activate Izanagi either.
Sever the arm!
It wasn't just about heavily wounding Danzo, but also disabling his strongest trump card.
Before coming to intercept Danzo, Sasuke had already hidden a Shadow Clone under the bridge, disguised.
All he had to do was ensure his position on the Stone Bridge, wait for Danzo to approach and attempt to harvest the Sharingan: Trisected Pupil, then let the Shadow Clone emerge from the hole in the bridge and sneak attack from behind, severing Danzo's arm.
It wasn't a lethal threat, and a strong warrior's intuition wouldn't be that sharp.
Moreover, Sasuke's previous act was entirely to make Danzo relax.
It was a carefully designed move that finally succeeded.
One could only say that Danzo's ignorance of 'Transcription Seal' was truly fortunate.
Unfortunately, he didn't know how to use it! To perform this technique, one must be proficient in illusion techniques and possess the Sharingan: Trisected Pupil.
Danzo lacked both, so it was impossible for him to achieve it.
If it were Izumi, whether she died or was controlled, she could passively activate Izanagi once, turning all unfavorable factors into nothingness.
Envy, jealousy, and hatred!
Every time he thought of Izumi's Sharingan ability, Douping's heart would fill with these thoughts.
At this moment, Danzo on the Stone Bridge glared at his severed arm and roared in anger:
"Damn Uchiha brat!"
He was not only angry but also felt a surge of rage.
Thinking of this, he formed hand seals with one hand, preparing to first activate the vines to strangle Sasuke.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you now?"
Sasuke's tone no longer held the previous fear; instead, it was filled with confidence.
Yes, he feared Danzo, who had dozens of lives, but he wasn't afraid of Danzo, who only had one life and was missing an arm.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Garb!"
Sasuke, entangled in the vines, had countless lightning flashes erupt from his body, tearing apart the vines that wrapped around him.
Danzo's Wood Release was truly ineffective.
His Wood Release didn't have the effect of absorbing chakra, so it was natural that he couldn't control Sasuke.
After breaking free, Sasuke didn't hesitate for a moment.
"Thousand Birds Sharp Spear!"
He launched a direct attack.
At this moment, he displayed a level of strength far beyond what he had shown before.
This was his true strength; previously, he had only pretended to be weaker to mislead Danzo.
After a few exchanges, Danzo, who had already lost a significant portion of his strength due to the missing left arm, was unable to defend himself.
"Lightning Style: Lightning Bird!"
Sasuke seized the opportunity and unleashed this S-rank Lightning Style technique.
Caw! Amid the chorus of Thousand Birds, a massive lightning bird spread its wings and swooped towards Danzo.
"Damn Uchiha brat!"
Danzo didn't lack ruthlessness; he immediately formed hand seals with one hand and activated his ultimate technique, intending to drag Sasuke down with him.
Reverse Four Symbols Sealing!
The power was exaggerated beyond measure; anyone within its range would be taken away.
