A perilous standoff had finally come to an end.
Fugaku's taut body relaxed slightly as he panted faintly, the immense fluctuations of Chakra slowly subsiding.
After all, his eyes were not yet the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Maintaining Susanoo continuously placed an enormous strain on both his ocular power and stamina.
As the battle ended, the Mangekyō patterns in his eyes gradually faded, returning to the appearance of ordinary Sharingan. The massive black skeleton vanished along with them.
But in that instant of relaxation!
Splat—!
A cold, sharp pain suddenly pierced from his back through to his chest!
Fugaku's body stiffened violently, his pupils contracting as disbelief filled his face.
There was no one in front of him, yet behind him stood Shimura Danzō—who should have been crushed to nothing by Susanoo—completely unharmed.
Danzo gripped a bloodstained kunai, driving it viciously through Fugaku's back. A cruel, sinister smile spread across his face, his breathing steady and showing no sign of severe injury.
"Izanami!" Blood rose in Fugaku's throat as he forced out a hoarse roar.
Danzo slowly pulled out the kunai. His icy voice carried bone-chilling cold as it rang through the night sky. "Fugaku Uchiha, did you really think I had no precautions against the Uchiha Clan?"
Danzo slowly removed the bandage over his right eye, revealing a grayish-white eye that had been permanently blinded.
He had activated Izanami before stabbing Susanoo with the kunai, waiting until Fugaku dismissed Susanoo and completely let down his guard before silently appearing and launching this fatal ambush.
"Did you think a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan made you invincible?"
Danzo wiped the blood from his kunai, his gaze dark and vicious. "From the very beginning, you were the one who lost this battle."
The Sky Screen displayed a complete explanation of Izanagi. Lines of text clearly entered everyone's sight, and discussions immediately erupted across the continent.
[Izanagi: The Uchiha Clan's ultimate forbidden technique, the supreme art that rewrites reality and reverses life and death.] [After activation, all unfavorable outcomes suffered by the user, including injuries and death, can be turned into a dream, leaving only favorable reality.] [Cost: The Sharingan used will be permanently blinded.]
"Danzo was just beaten into fleeing in disgrace, and he turned it around with this move?"
"Danzo isn't simple either! His wind-style Ninjutsu was practically effortless, and wasn't he ridiculously fast?!"
"What's the use? That wind couldn't even break through Susanoo's defenses!"
"It really is overbearing! That Susanoo is way too overbearing!"
"I thought Danzo was stupid for stabbing Susanoo with a kunai! Turns out I was the stupid one! He had a backup plan from start to finish."
"Isn't it still the Uchiha who are powerful? Izanami is also an Uchiha Clan Ninjutsu! Could it be that only Uchiha can defeat Uchiha?"
"Seriously, isn't the Uchiha Clan some kind of divine race? Are these skills really something humans can use?"
"Changing reality and dreams... is that really something a human can do?"
"No, how did the Uchiha Clan even create this?! I couldn't come up with a technique like this even if I tried!"
"Wait, didn't Yu Zhi already obtain Izanami?"
"Right! Fugaku Uchiha gave it to him earlier, and he was reluctant about it too! I thought he was stingy! Now I see how ignorant I was!"
"And there's Izanagi too. If it can stand alongside Izanami, it definitely isn't simple either! Spirit Hall has truly stumbled upon a tremendous opportunity this time!"
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened as she stared at Danzo, who had come back from the dead on the Sky Screen. She turned to Ning Fengzhi beside her, disbelief written all over her face. "Dad, doesn't learning Izanami mean you can revive twice?"
Ning Fengzhi gently set down his teacup, rubbing his brow with his fingertips. His expression was grave. "I'm afraid it's more than that."
He had realized now that no amount of caution toward the Uchiha Clan would be excessive!
Ning Rongrong looked utterly confused, tilting her head as she pressed on. "Why?"
Bone Douluo let out a long breath and slowly explained, "Rongrong, that Shimura Danzō on the Sky Screen clearly wasn't using his own eye! That proves the most essential requirement for Izanami isn't Uchiha blood—it's the Sharingan!"
Sword Douluo picked up the thread, cutting straight to the heart of the matter. "In other words, as long as one can stockpile enough Sharingan, then theoretically, Izanami can be used repeatedly to keep rewriting life and death."
"This ocular technique is far too strange and powerful! Luckily, our Douluo Continent doesn't have Martial Souls like this." Ning Rongrong sighed instinctively.
The moment she finished speaking, she saw the hesitant expressions on her two grandfathers' faces and immediately thought of Yu Zhi. "No, wait! Yu Zhi is now the only person on the continent with a Sharingan. Isn't he in grave danger?"
"More than grave danger." Ning Fengzhi's tone darkened. "Not only does he possess the Sharingan, but he has also mastered the method to cultivate Izanami. The powerful figures across the entire continent will now have their eyes on him and covet this power. Even within Spirit Hall, not everyone may remain well-behaved."
"Now I understand why Konoha feared the Uchiha Clan!" Sword Douluo's expression turned serious. "In terms of potential alone, the Sharingan may even surpass the Angel Martial Soul. The Angel lineage produces only one divine envoy per generation, but every Uchiha clansman has the potential to evolve a Mangekyō Sharingan."
"The situation has completely descended into chaos." Ning Fengzhi frowned deeply, his heart full of worry. "Bibi Dong is shrewd and deeply ambitious. Now that Yu Zhi possesses such a treasure, I truly cannot be certain that she will continue treating this disciple well."
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, shocked and frightened. "The Pope... would she really harm her own personal disciple?"
"Before the temptation of ultimate power, the bond between master and disciple means nothing. Even blood relatives can turn against each other." Bone Douluo's voice was cold as he stated the cruel reality.
If Yu Zhi heard that, he would only find it amusing.
Bone Douluo had no idea how formidable Love Continent was!
Spirit Hall, Pope Hall
Bibi Dong stared at the Sky Screen, her expression exceptionally grave. She immediately ordered in a low voice, "When Xiao Zhi returns, strengthen his security at once. His guards must not leave his side for twenty-four hours."
She saw the situation clearly. Many Title Douluo across the continent would covet the Sharingan and the two great forbidden techniques. Yu Zhi was already standing at the center of the storm.
"Your Holiness is wise! The Holy Son has secured such an opportunity for Spirit Hall and is now in danger. We absolutely cannot allow a contributor to suffer injustice."
Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly stepped forward in agreement. Whenever he spoke of Yu Zhi, his attitude was particularly enthusiastic.
Bibi Dong gave him a satisfied look. Ever since Yu Zhi had given Chrysanthemum Douluo the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum Douluo had been extraordinarily warm toward Yu Zhi!
If her relationship with Yu Zhi were not special, she would have suspected Chrysanthemum Douluo of planning to betray her!
Hu Liena also understood Yu Zhi's situation, but she still had a question and could not help asking, "I don't understand. Yu Zhi could have left after obtaining the Ninjutsu, so why did he insist on getting involved in the conflict between the Uchiha and Danzo?"
