Seizing the Eyes

Whoosh...

Wrapped in azure-blue Tenseigan Chakra, Hyuga Kagami shot through the torrential rain like a flash of light, closing in on Danzo!

In that instant, time seemed to freeze.

The surprise, fury, and faint anticipation that flashed across Danzo's face, warped beyond recognition by the Golden Flame, all entered Hyuga Kagami's field of vision without missing a thing.

Hyuga Kagami could even clearly see the tremendous changes occurring in the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan within Danzo's eye sockets.

Those Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan had already lost the Sharingan's signature crimson background, replaced by a faint pink hue that continued to grow paler and cooler, seemingly transforming toward the Rinnegan's cold, dark violet.

The patterns in the pupils were changing as well.

The original gear-like patterns had become slightly undulating rings. Though the spacing between them was somewhat off, with some rings even overlapping, they had already begun to resemble the Rinnegan's pattern.

Without question, the evolution of Danzo's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was nearing its end.

Taking in every detail reflected in his Tenseigan, Hyuga Kagami's lips naturally curved upward. His timing had been perfect. At most, only a few seconds remained before a new pair of Rinnegan was born.

Yet Danzo was not incapable of reacting to Hyuga Kagami's ambush.

Though Hyuga Kagami was incredibly fast in Tenseigan Chakra Mode, he could not evade the perception of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan on the verge of evolving into Rinnegan. Moreover, Danzo possessed Swift Release, giving him reaction speed among the very best in the shinobi world, not inferior in the slightest to Hyuga Kagami's Tenseigan-enhanced body.

Thus, the instant Hyuga Kagami launched his attack, Danzo had at least one or two seconds to react. Though that was not enough for him to completely escape Hyuga Kagami's ambush, it was sufficient for him
