Pagoda Suppressing River Demon

With a low shout, the Mangekyo's dojutsu surged wildly.

Suddenly, berserk Crimson Chakra erupted from Kosuke's body like a volcanic eruption!

In an instant, it condensed into a semi-body skeletal giant several meters tall, clad in ferocious crimson armor!

The shockwaves formed by that berserk, destructive aura, in a flash, overwhelmed the ferocity of Kaguya Hōseki!

Seeing this, Kaguya Hōseki's eyes grew even more frenzied. He didn't dodge or evade, his bone spikes all over his body grew again, and he charged fiercely at the Crimson Susanoo like a hedgehog!

"Hmph!" Kosuke, inside the Crimson Susanoo, had icy eyes. The giant bone palm of the Susanoo clenched, and Crimson Chakra rapidly coiled around it, forming a long sword with a dazzling white glow.

In an instant, the long sword, carrying a hundred-meter chakra sword energy, fiercely slashed down!

"Crack! Crack! Crackle--!"

A dense, ear-grating sound of cracking bones exploded like popping beans!

The hard bones that Kaguya Hōseki prided himself on were fragile in the face of the absolute power of the Susanoo!

Bone armor, arms, ribs...

All his bones shattered under the giant chakra sword, his protective bone armor crumbling like glass!

The next second, Kaguya Hōseki was smashed into the ground like a broken doll, deeply embedded in a pit.

The blood gushing from his mouth mixed with fine bone fragments. The frenzied eyes, caused by the Bloodline Disease, finally regained clarity amidst the intense pain and weakness.

This sudden turn of events caused the surrounding Kaguya tribesmen, who had been shouting and roaring wildly, to fall silent collectively, frozen in place with stunned expressions.

"A...Deity?!"

Kosuke paid no attention to the murmurs around him.

He slowly approached the edge of the deep pit, enveloped by the Crimson Susanoo, and looked down at Kaguya Hōseki, who was almost a puddle of mud and barely clinging to life.

He dispelled the Susanoo, his voice cold and clear, like a Monarch's decree:

"Kaguya Hōseki, your bones don't seem to be as hard as you imagined! Listen clearly: I've come today to tell you that I, Uchiha Kosuke, can cure your clan's Bloodline Disease!"

Initially, upon hearing the mocking words, Hōseki's eyes were about to become frenzied again, but they were shattered by the latter part of the sentence.

His unfocused gaze suddenly sharpened, filled with disbelief, shock, and the will to survive.

The Kaguya Clan was known as the Clan of Madmen in the ninja world, was it their intention to be like this?

No!

No!

They didn't want this either!

But as their bodies grew, the Bloodline Disease hidden within their bloodline would slowly appear, stripping away their meager sanity bit by bit!

"Submit to me, Uchiha Kosuke," Kosuke's tone was irrefutable. "In exchange, I will provide you with a method to suppress, or even cure, the Bloodline Disease."

"At the same time, I can grant you an opportunity to gain freedom—if anyone in your Kaguya Clan can defeat me honorably, the Kaguya Clan will regain its freedom, and I, Uchiha Kosuke, will continue to treat the Kaguya Clan."

"This is your only choice to escape suffering and grasp power!"

"Accept, or end it all right now, taking your pain and your clansmen's curse with you?"

In the deep pit, Kaguya Hōseki stared intently at Kosuke, a guttural sound escaping his throat.

Finally, his head, which represented his desire for survival and power, nodded infinitesimally under Kosuke's gaze.

Kosuke raised his hand and summoned a Kaguya tribesman, completely ignoring the fanatical worship radiating from him, and directly ordered, "Go down and carry your Clan Head back to the clan grounds for treatment."

"Clan Head?" This Kaguya tribesman looked down at the former Clan Head, whose eyes were closed and chest rose and fell slightly. "No! He is no longer the Clan Head of our Kaguya Clan. God, you are our great Kaguya Clan's Clan Head!"

Kosuke looked at the respectfully bowing Kaguya before him in astonishment, a thought flashing through his mind: Might makes right?

Seeing that the god didn't believe him, this Kaguya tribesman hurriedly said, "God, look at the clansmen around you! They, like me, recognize you and believe you can lead us to become even stronger!"

"What is your name?"

"Kaguya Tetsu, God."

"Call two people to carry him up for treatment. He is still useful."

"Yes, God!" Tetsu turned and called two other tribesmen, who also looked at Kosuke with a hint of fanaticism. "God has bestowed upon me a special honor, naming me Divine Envoy! Now, you two go down and carry that trash back to the clan grounds for treatment."

"Clan grounds?" The two simple-minded Kaguya exchanged glances, hesitating, "But the clan grounds are gone..."

"Gone?" Tetsu then remembered that the clan grounds, originally built with stones, had already turned into ruins under the god's battle.

"God, the clan grounds are gone. Shall we abandon this trash and head to the next location to rebuild the clan grounds?" Tetsu turned to Kosuke for instructions.

Kosuke looked speechlessly at the respectful Tetsu beside him, wondering: Did the Kaguya Clan Head steal his beautiful wife? That's why he wants to abandon the Clan Head at every turn?

"Alright, go down and carry him up," Kosuke waved his hand, his voice low.

Seeing the god's persistence with the trash in the pit, Tetsu had no choice but to have his two clansmen go down and carry him up.

Kosuke turned and walked through the ruins, trying to find a stone house that was even slightly intact.

However, he had underestimated the destructive power of his second stage Susanoo, as well as the sturdiness of the hastily built stone houses of the Kaguya.

Before long, just as Kosuke found a slightly flatter piece of ground, Tiegu's rough, adoring voice came from behind him.

"God, where should we put this trash?"

The Skeleton, whose consciousness had returned, stimulated by the pain, couldn't help but think of Tiegu, who always wanted to usurp his position, when he heard his new title.

"Put him on that stone platform, then go summon the Medical Ninjas from your clan."

Sizing up the Skeleton, who was roughly tossed onto the stone platform, and seeing his face contorted in agony, Kosuke's facial muscles twitched violently. He inwardly lamented, Is it really this pragmatic?

"Medical Ninjas?"

Does our Kaguya Clan even have such a thing?

Tiegu and two other clan members looked at each other, unsure how to answer their God.

A moment later, Tiegu stepped forward, bracing himself. "God, our Kaguya Clan... doesn't... doesn't have Medical Ninjas..."

"You don't?!" Kosuke suddenly turned around, a hint of confusion on his face. "Then how do you usually treat injuries and illnesses?"

Startled by Kosuke's sudden movement, Tiegu stumbled back two steps, looking up dazedly to meet the other's bewildered gaze.

A look of simple-minded confusion flashed across his dark face, and he replied without thinking, "We tough out minor illnesses and wait to die from major ones."

"I..." For the first time in the ninja world, Kosuke heard such a crude yet familiar saying, and his thoughts abruptly halted.

His pupils constricted. He took a deep breath, his tone suddenly becoming serious. "Pagoda Suppressing River Demon..."
