chapter 198 part 3
Danzo's attacks came like a raging storm, but Uchiha Ren seemed to be using a cheat, his figure nimbly dodging left and right, effortlessly avoiding every attack.
Every time Danzo's blade swung down, it could only cut through the air, raising a gust of futile wind.
After a round of fierce attacks, Danzo was panting for breath, sweat soaking his clothes.
He felt that the Chakra inside him was almost depleted, yet Uchiha Ren before him was still unscathed, like an immovable mountain.
Anger and despair intertwined in his heart. He violently threw the kunai in his hand toward Uchiha Ren, and then, taking advantage of the moment Uchiha Ren dodged the kunai, he reached out with one hand, trying to grab him.
Uchiha Ren looked at Danzo's actions, his eyes shifted slightly, and a cold smile formed at the corner of his mouth. He actually let Danzo grab him.
The moment Danzo's hand touched Uchiha Ren, Uchiha Ren's two bikaku tails stabbed out like black lightning, directly piercing Danzo's body.
The immense force flung Danzo high into the air. Fresh blood dripped continuously from the tails like a fountain, splashing into blossoms of blood on the ground!
However, the next second!
The flowing blood instantly vanished, and Danzo's figure reappeared in the distance amidst a distortion.
Danzo had a strange smile on his face. He slowly removed the bandages from his face, revealing a special eye that emitted a mysterious light.
When Uchiha Ren saw this eye, he couldn't help but snort coldly.
He knew very well where that eye came from.
It was none other than Uchiha Shisui's eye!
If Shisui were still alive, using this Sharingan, plus the one Itachi obtained, he could activate Kotoamatsukami and perhaps change the mindset of the Uchiha Clan, resolving the conflict between Konoha and the Uchiha.
But it was this guy, Danzo, who, for his own selfish desires and to become Hokage, unscrupulously stirred up conflict in Konoha and cruelly murdered Shisui, which led to the Uchiha Clan's calamity and triggered this whole series of tragedies.
The funny thing is, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew roughly what was happening but never did anything to stop it.
"Damn brat, you learned about Izanagi from Orochimaru, but what you don't know is that I have many secrets that he is unaware of..."
Danzo quickly activated the ability of Shisui's Mangekyo in his eye socket. With the help of Kotoamatsukami, Danzo's will instantly invaded Uchiha Ren's mind.
Feeling the change in the expression of the enemy before him, Danzo smiled!
This was the terror of Kotoamatsukami! The ability to change a person's original thoughts without them even realizing it!
The eye Danzo obtained could change thoughts for a short period, while Itachi's was permanent.
But even a short period of time was enough to make Danzo's image incomparably great in that moment, leading Uchiha Ren to not attack him, but to see Danzo as a great sun!
Danzo walked toward Uchiha Ren step by step. The latter's eyes were filled with confusion and regret.
"Good boy, none of this is your fault. It's all your Uchiha thoughts acting up. As long as you stand there obediently and let me take your eyes, you will no longer be controlled by the evil Uchiha."
Danzo made a sickening sound as he walked, his steps slow, as if he could already see his victory...
Danzo was convinced victory was in his grasp. A triumphant smile spread across his face as he slowly extended his hand, aiming straight for Uchiha Ren's eyes which held immense power. "Good boy! Good boy!"
But Uchiha Ren stood motionless, and though his eyes showed a trace of confusion, the corners of his mouth held a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
In Danzo's eyes, this smile was incredibly strange, but he was already dizzy with imminent victory and didn't pay it any mind.
The moment Danzo's hand was about to touch Uchiha Ren's eyes, time seemed to freeze.
In that critical moment, Uchiha Ren's smile suddenly widened, and his eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle's.
Danzo was instantly stupefied, his mind went blank. He didn't even have time to activate Izanagi, his life-saving technique.
In that instant, Uchiha Ren's bikaku tails shot out like black vipers, once again piercing through Danzo's body.
The powerful impact flung Danzo's body high into the air. He spat out a mouthful of blood, which traced an arc in the air before splattering on the ground!
Danzo realized things were bad. In extreme terror and panic, he quickly formed hand seals and hastily activated Izanagi.
Along with a ripple of spatial distortion, his body instantly appeared in the distance.
However, activating Izanagi this time came at a huge cost.
The light in Shisui's eye instantly faded, replaced by an empty void and deathly stillness. That eye had gone blind!
Danzo wasn't much better off. He was half-kneeling, supporting himself with his hands on the ground, gasping violently for breath. The wound from the bikaku piercing him was still gruesome, and blood continuously seeped out, staining his clothes.
This was because the injury was sustained before Izanagi was activated, so it couldn't be repaired by its power.
Uchiha Ren looked at the wretched Danzo and slowly spoke four words that completely baffled Danzo: "Synchronized Memory!"
Kotoamatsukami's thought alteration is indeed overpowered, but "Ren Arakawa's" Synchronized Memory is a straight-up bug-like effect.
An individual's thoughts cannot change the thoughts of all Ren Arakawas. While Uchiha Ren was fighting Danzo, the synchronized screen was on the whole time. Stephen Fang, who had nothing to do, was just waiting for Danzo to use Kotoamatsukami.
One Synchronized Memory over, and even the most foolish thoughts can be corrected!
A mere Kotoamatsukami, how laughable!
Danzo was in a desperate situation. The air around him seemed to have been solidified by the powerful aura emanating from Uchiha Ren.
His breathing was rapid and heavy. Every breath felt like a struggle to draw a sliver of life from the oppressive atmosphere.
Watching Uchiha Ren press closer, a desperate madness surged in Danzo's heart.
He gritted his teeth fiercely, the muscles on his face twisting from the effort. The veins on his forehead bulged like angry little snakes.
He suddenly cast his gaze toward his arm covered in Hashirama's cells, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes!
"Hmph!" Danzo roared in a low voice, unleashing the power of Hashirama's cells with all his might.
In an instant, a vast amount of Chakra surged from his arm. The ground began to tremble violently. Thick tree roots broke through the earth, growing and spreading rapidly. In the blink of an eye, they converged into a massive, sky-obscuring tree, like a giant beast from ancient times, pouncing toward Uchiha Ren with bared fangs and brandished claws.
However, just then, a dazzling light suddenly flashed across the originally dim sky!
Immediately after, a bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket, carrying a world-destroying aura, struck down without any warning!
This lightning bolt seemed to carry the wrath of the heavens, accurately striking Danzo and the powerful Wood Style power that was rampaging toward him!
"BOOM!" A loud noise shook the entire Uchiha Clan grounds. The power of lightning instantly collided and intertwined with the power of Wood Style!
