Between Light and Darkness: The Second Pair of God's Eyes
Outside of the Shikkotsu Forest.
It was already dusk on the second day, and night was about to fall.
Kagami Uchiha watched the battle, which was gradually coming to an end.
The Shisui was already fraught with danger.
If things really escalate, no one will care whose relative or friend you are.
Moryo, the demons and the Kirigakure were also sabotaging each other, which allowed Shisui to barely hold on until now.
Blood seeped from his eyes; the extreme power of his pupils caused his eyes to burn with pain.
But now...
Shisui felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.
Among the Uchiha, his personality was considered quite kind.
Aside from the occasional sharp tongue.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have instinctively saved Deidara.
Only...
No matter how kind-hearted the Uchiha, a crazy obsession was hidden in their very blood and bones.
For ordinary people, losing control of their emotions is only temporary, but for Uchiha, once their emotions are out of control, their entire personality will undergo a drastic change.
Kagami Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly.
He stood at the highest point, with scorching Flame Flow gradually rising around him.
He slowly raised his hand, and a pure black energy sphere condensed at his fingertips, radiating terrifying power.
The bright red Flame Flow converged towards the sphere.
Tumultuous--
The extreme heat instantly evaporated the poisonous fog that permeated the Shikkotsu Forest!
The deep red, eerie flames seemed to scorch people's hearts, drawing everyone's gaze involuntarily to this spot.
Apart from Uchiha Shisui.
At this moment, he was completely immersed in his own world, only feeling that some kind of wonderful change was taking place.
"That is..."
Sasori retreated Kakuzu and murmured softly.
"What the hell... does Kagami Uchiha really want to kill us all at once...?"
Kakuzu to use his experience to tell Sasori that it wouldn't happen.
If Kagami Uchiha really wanted to take action against them, he could have done it the day before the tournament started; there was no need to wait until now.
But then I thought...
There's absolutely no logic to the Uchiha.
He might just decide on a whim to wipe them all out.
"Perhaps... we shouldn't gang up on this Uchiha brat?"
"Is Kagami Uchiha really that stingy?"
Kakuzu is starting to lose confidence.
——
Flame Release: Crimson Lotus Hell.
The crimson sun shines on the Shikkotsu Forest, with Kagami Uchiha as its origin.
The Sky Manipulation over this land is divided into two colors.
One side is bright 'yang', and the other side is dim 'yin'.
Yin and Yang divide the day and night.
He is the majestic mountain that separates light from darkness.
On the other side, Nagato, Orochimaru, and the others also stopped fighting, their brows furrowed as they looked at the blazing sun overhead.
Tobirama Senju snorted coldly, "Are you going to break the rules again? You set the rules yourself, and you keep interfering and changing them at will."
Orochimaru looked at the Sky Manipulation, showing signs of extreme discomfort.
In his perception, the flame seemed to be very hostile to him, who possessed Natural Energy.
And the facts were just as he perceived them to be.
As the 'sun' grew larger, the bone forest of Shikkotsu Forest cracked inch by inch, turning into dust.
It absorbs and refines endless Natural Energy.
This is not a destructive technique.
Rather, it is a purification method for Shikkotsu Forest that combines Flame Release and Yin-Yang Release.
In short...
This is Kagami Uchiha's 'God Tree'.
Kagami Uchiha ignored the 48-hour time limit he had set for himself.
Now that Shisui has reached this point, the second, meaningless match can be ended.
Those who survived were willing to be led by Kagami Uchiha to the final arena of martial arts.
Boom...
The white snake's massive body approached the fireball, stopping at a distance of about a hundred meters, with wisps of pure red energy seeping into its body.
Kagami Uchiha summoned the White Snake Sage, and just as he had promised, helped him become a dragon.
It will just become my dragon.
——
Below.
A small flame suddenly appeared between Nagato and the others, forming the shape of the Kagami Uchiha, and everyone was on high alert.
"Mirror...you wouldn't attack us now...that would be far too undignified."
Orochimaru nervously swallowed.
He was willing to fight Nagato, but the pressure from Kagami Uchiha was completely different.
He is now more than ten times stronger than he was during the Konoha war.
But the monster in front of him had grown even faster than him!
Kagami Uchiha ignored him and looked coldly at Tobirama Senju.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi's final choice has led me to decide to give you a chance to atone for your sins."
Tobirama Senju frowned deeply.
He didn't think he had committed any crime. He believed that his actions, though despicable, were in line with his ideals.
But what Kagami Uchiha next made him waver.
"As Hokage, you once covered the retreat of your subordinates and sacrificed yourself."
"My grandfather also sacrificed himself for his comrades."
"I'll give you a dignified ending. You've given everything for Shisui."
"For the sake of your descendants."
"What you up to."
Kagami Uchiha turned to look into the distance. "I want Shisui to have eyes like mine."
"No..."
Tobirama Senju shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I also know something about your eyes. You don't have a brother who can transplant your eyes, but the power of your eyes surpasses that of Madara."
"I know you have embarked on a new path."
"What I want to ask is..."
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Kagami Uchiha turned his head and said calmly, "As for my future ideals, I will only talk about them with people I am willing to talk to."
"I'm giving you a choice out of pure compassion, not making you ask me this kind of thing."
"You have to choose between burning yourself out like Hiruzen Sarutobi or going to keep Shimura Danzō."
Orochimaru was speechless.
Isn't this a lose-lose situation no matter which option you choose?!
Someone like Shimura Danzō would have been better off dead!
Wrong...
Strictly speaking, the Second Hokage died long ago.
Tobirama Senju remained silent for a few seconds.
He handed the dragon Dragon Vein Crystal in his hand to Orochimaru.
He smiled smugly.
"I was prepared all along. You little brat, you're not a magnanimous person."
"It is my responsibility that I failed to handle the Uchiha problem properly, but if I could do it again, I would still do the same thing."
"Kagami Uchiha, without you, the Uchiha Clan should not exist."
"I am not doing this because of you, and I am not afraid to keep Danzo."
"You may have won, but I haven't admitted defeat."
Impure World Reincarnation - Release.
Fragments of Impure World Reincarnation paper, encasing spirits, fluttered in the air.
In the original situation, after the Impure World Reincarnation are removed, the soul will return to the Pure Land on its own, which is called 'ascension to heaven' or 'becoming a Buddha'.
However, within Shikkotsu Forest, the soul cannot find release.
Unlike his older brother, Tobirama Senju didn't need Kagami Uchiha to teach him step by step how to do things.
He sensed the location of the Shisui and flew away.
At the same time, this clone of Kagami Uchiha also turned into a burst of sparks and dissipated.
Nagato and Orochimaru stared at each other silently.
Boom!!
Nagato made a sudden and ruthless move!
Having learned his lesson from the previous incident, he now wants to quickly defeat Orochimaru before Kagami Uchiha announces the end of the matter!
——
Kagami Uchiha's true form hovered between the white snake and the 'sun'.
Thoughts raced through my mind, calculating the energy ratios required for each step.
The natural flow of the entire Shikkotsu Forest is certainly beyond what Shisui can handle; this is something that Kagami Uchiha himself needs.
"Shisui, I have prepared a path for you, the one most suitable for you."
"Now..."
Kagami Uchiha's voice suddenly rang in Shisui's mind.
"Empty your mind, don't think about anything, don't do anything."
"Your body is under my control."
Many elders who deeply love their younger generations will pave the best path for them and choose the best partners for them.
However, many younger generations are unwilling to accept this kind of life.
They want to forge their own path.
Kagami Uchiha did not force the Shisui.
From the moment his eye power manifested within Shisui's body, it signified that Shisui was willing to accept Kagami Uchiha's arrangements.
"I understand, brother."
One of Shisui's eyes was completely rendered in black and red, with no Tomoe) visible.
Crimson Demon!
Whoosh!
Hashirama Senju expression solemn, arrived in Body Flicker Technique: "Has it begun, Kagami?"
The voice of 'Shisui' remained unchanged, but his tone had become much colder.
Everyone could clearly see that person's shadow in him.
"Let's begin, starting with..."
Shisui's body vanished instantly, even faster than when he used the Flying Thunder God Technique!
Clatter.
The Moryo looked up in terror, only to be met with the 'Shisui' that had descended upon it.
From his perspective, this wasn't Uchiha Shisui at all...
It's Kagami Uchiha!!
Just as he opened his mouth to make a sound, he was met with an impenetrable barrage of black and red slashes, accompanied by flashes of lightning.
In an instant.
Not only the body, but even the soul was shredded to pieces!
Peng.
A figure suddenly appeared.
She was an absolutely beautiful woman with a pair of purplish-red wings on her back, like an angel.
Someone recognized her.
"It's Miroku, the Priestess of the Land of Demons!"
Why is she here?!
"Is now... the time to be thinking about this kind of thing...?"
Miroku was seen holding a transparent bell in his hands, which emitted a faint red light.
The light, like lines, intertwined with the fragmented energy of the Moryo, forming a mysterious power.
Shisui's eyes were like an Uzumaki, swallowing up this torrent of energy.
The Moryo and the Priestess are symbiotic.
Miroku's figure gradually disappeared.
But she showed no fear of annihilation, and smiled as she said, "Thank you, Kagami-sama. The fate of the Priestess and the Moryo has come to an end."
"Shion can now live a happy and fulfilling life as a normal child..."
They ignored Miroku's dying words.
He turned to look at the mass of blue, soft tissue that was rising from the ground.
An extremely dense surge of Natural Energy erupted, causing the body tissue to proliferate wildly, a truly terrifying sight.
The Katsuyu's soul has departed, sending its body here.
With one hand pressed against the twisted mass of flesh, Shisui's body absorbed this Natural Energy, and several spots of his skin showed signs of petrification.
"Hashirama."
"Learn!"
Black lines appeared under Hashirama Senju's eyes, indicating he had entered Sage Mode.
Boom!!
The enormous Wood Human rose from the ground, just like the movement of the Hashirama. The Wood Human pressed a palm onto the azure body tissue, suppressing its proliferation.
At the same time, the Dragon Vein Crystal within Shisui's body emitted a faint light, creating a kind of resonance.
Tobirama Senju has arrived.
This was the first time he had seen Uchiha Shisui close.
It really... looks like a mirror.
So that's how it is. It's about breaking through the Mangekyo barrier in one go and reaching the stage of Eternal Eye Power.
Snap!
Tobirama Senju, his spirit dissolved, and a light rain began to fall.
It nourishes the soul of Shisui.
Hashirama was caught off guard by the dissipation of his younger brother's soul.
This isn't what we agreed on!
However, Shisui still possessed his Senjutsu Chakra, and understanding what Kagami was doing, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
——
Thump—
——
The hearts of all life within the Shikkotsu Forest beat to an inexplicable drumbeat.
Ōnoki and his companions knew this all too well.
They will once again serve as witnesses.
Witness the birth of a pair of God's Eye.
Shisui in the eye sockets.
The fourth Tomoe slowly condensed.
