Hezi's Kaleidoscope

Having successfully awakened the Mangekyo, Uchiha Hezi now possessed the transcendent power to turn the tables!

[Left Eye: Mangekyo - Ame-no-Torifune-no-Mikoto]
Ability: Within the five-minute duration of the ocular technique, the user can freely move through space within their field of vision.

[Right Eye: Mangekyo - Ame-no-Torifune-no-Kamishuno]
Ability: The ocular technique can spatially project any object touched to a designated location within a fifteen-meter radius. The smaller the mass and volume, the lower the ocular power consumption per use.

Uchiha Hezi had activated her Mangekyo through the agony and raw emotion of watching Yakushi Nonō willingly face death.

Consequently, her "Eyes of Heart's Reflection" were filled entirely with an "infinite yearning" to rescue her companion.

The left eye granted instantaneous teleportation through time and space.

The right eye allowed for the spatial projection of physical objects upon contact.

The mysterious pattern of three divine birds formed a centrally symmetric, petal-like structure, creating Uchiha Hezi's unique Mangekyo.

With the power of the Mangekyo now at her disposal, Uchiha Hezi instantly transcended her status as a mediocre Chunin.

Relying on the power of her bloodline, she successfully reached the threshold of "Kage-level" strength.

Without a moment's hesitation, Hezi unleashed the [Ame-no-Torifune-no-Kamishuno] technique.

She teleported a metal senbon directly into the cranium of Kaguya Eita.

It was as if the thick bone armor covering the enemy's skull simply did not exist.

She teleported to the top of Kaguya Eita's head and delivered a powerful side-kick to the end of the metal senbon still protruding from his scalp!

Brain piercing!

The metal senbon churned through his brain matter.

Kaguya Eita bled from his nose and mouth, feeling the agony of his brain being torn apart.

In an instant, Kaguya Eita released all his restraints.

He allowed the bones throughout his entire body to grow without limit.

He seemed to have lost all consciousness, his muscles and bones attacking wildly in a state of total disorder.

[Bone Style: Dance of the Seedling Fern]

Kaguya Eita could be considered the most "brilliant and talented" prodigy of the contemporary Kaguya clan.

The moment his brain was attacked, he abandoned all thought, intent only on a desperate final struggle.

The chaotic bone blades allowed him to unleash an astonishing range of attacks.

Countless bones erupted within the cavern, a Bone Style secret technique with a massive destructive radius that nearly filled the entire underground space.

"Oh no!"

Hezi cried out, using spatial teleportation to appear beside Yakushi Nonō.

But the speed of [Bone Style: Dance of the Seedling Fern] was too fast.

The first bone spikes to break the surface had already pierced through the ground.

Not far away, Misaka 0015 had both of her thighs impaled by the bone spikes.

"I'm sorry."

Hezi's tears gushed out once more.

The tears washed away the bloodstains left behind from her recent use of the Mangekyo.

The figures of Hezi and Nonō began to blur rapidly under the effect of the Mangekyo ocular technique.

Yet, in her field of vision, Misaka 0015 was being viciously pierced through the abdomen by a bamboo-shoot-shaped bone spike.

If another second passed, a multitude of such spikes would turn Misaka 0015 into an unrecognizable corpse amidst the forest of bone.

Rip!

A figure wreathed in lightning flashed beside Misaka 0015 using the Body Flicker Technique.

"It's Lord Uchiha Fucheng!"

Before Hezi could fade away completely, Fucheng had preemptively cleared the bone spikes that were harming Misaka 0015.

Fucheng's voice was calm, offering a slightly apologetic comfort to everyone, "Sorry, I'm a bit late. Leave the rest to me."

Uchiha Fucheng held Misaka 0015 with one hand, his left eye sweeping over the uniquely tempered Misaka 0015; the ocular ability of [Okuninushi] allowed Misaka 0015's wounds to heal visibly to the naked eye.

Even the half-severed left arm she had just given to Yakushi Nonō began to regrow.

Having successfully evaded the first wave of attacks, Uchiha Fucheng didn't bother with any fancy tricks.

He immediately manifested the Mangekyo's Susanoo, the skeletal giant charging headlong toward Kaguya Eita.

Crackle, crackle!

Before the many bone spikes could grow further, Fucheng used Earth Style to clear a large expanse of ground.

Following that, in the center of the forest of bone and flesh, he used a lightning-infused Susanoo hand to yank the vacant-eyed Kaguya Eita out from the fray.

At this moment, Kaguya Eita's eyes were dazed, his pupils had lost focus, and white foam was dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Although a sliver of his consciousness remained, his brain tissue had clearly suffered severe damage.

"Hezi's attack was truly formidable!" Uchiha Fucheng praised, his eyes lighting up.

The massive hand of the Susanoo exerted force directly, and Kaguya Eita's bone armor, unable to withstand the pressure, let out a series of cracking sounds.

As shards of bone armor fell away, Kaguya Eita, hidden within, began to cough up large mouthfuls of blood.

The pain even stimulated the damaged area of his brain, causing Kaguya Eita to struggle as he tried to shout something.

Having escaped the forest of bone spikes, Uchiha Hezi teleported once more with Yakushi Nonō, returning to Fucheng's side.

Hezi looked at Uchiha Fucheng with joy, pleading urgently, "Lord Fucheng, please save Nonō."

Fucheng nodded, "Do you need me to amputate this severed arm first, so you can regrow your own?"

Yakushi Nonō looked at the gradually recovering 0015, her smile resolute!

She shook her head firmly, "No need, Lord Fucheng. This is the most precious memory Moon Sister gave me; I want to keep this arm."

Uchiha Fucheng patted Nonō's hair with satisfaction and comforted her, "Regrowing bone and flesh will be a bit painful, so bear with it for a moment."

As he spoke, Fucheng used the healing Mangekyo Eye Technique, Okuninushi, on Uchiha Hezi and Yakushi Nonō respectively.

Ever since he gained the support of Nagato's mutated Uzumaki Sage Body, the drain from using his Mangekyo Eye Technique had decreased significantly.

Watching her own wounds heal rapidly, Uchiha Hezi thanked Fucheng with gratitude.

Yet, when her eyes turned toward Kaguya Eita, they remained filled with hatred and fury.

Fucheng pointed at Kaguya Eita.

"To be able to use the Bone Release secret technique, Dance of the Seedling Fern, this man must be an elite ninja of the Kaguya clan. His strength even exceeds that of an average elite jonin. You were misled this time by the intelligence that he was operating under the alias Taketori Eitaro."

Hezi looked at Kaguya Eita, whose consciousness was already fading, and nodded with lingering fear.

"There were several times I thought we were done for. If it weren't for Nonō, and if it weren't for Moon Sister's life-risking battle, even with my Mangekyo awakened, I likely would have died at the hands of this madman."

Fucheng said gently, "Don't let this leave behind inner demons or regrets. I intentionally didn't kill him; I left him for you."

Hezi's eyes brightened, and she nodded vigorously.

"Understood! Let me use these eyes to send him to the underworld."

[Mangekyo: Ame-no-Torifune-no-Kamishuno]

Driven by the power of the Mangekyo, three steel senbon vanished from Uchiha Hezi's hand.

When they reappeared, they had become steel spikes protruding from Kaguya Eita's skull.

Hum!

A vibration caused the steel needles to sway.

White brain matter, like foam overflowing from a boiling pot, gushed out from the holes made by the senbon.

Following Kaguya Eita's death, a new notification appeared in Uchiha Fucheng's mind.

[Changed the life trajectory of Kaguya Kimimaro]

[Reward: Kaguya Kimimaro's Fate Dice]

Uchiha Fucheng's eyes lit up.

This Kaguya Kimimaro was also a collateral descendant of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, a form of atavistic bloodline.

His Bone Release bloodline should be a part of the Kaguya Sage Body; this Fate Dice was definitely worth a significant investment!
