The Eye That Protects
At the site of Naraku's previous battle, many cumulonimbus clouds had accumulated in the sky. The heat generated by the Fire Style in the Yamanaka could not dissipate in all directions due to the influence of the surrounding mountains, and could only drift upwards, resulting in huge black clouds that looked like it was going to rain.
Uchiha Ruofeng stood at the highest point of the Earth Style Wall, his right palm condensing lightning Chakra, reaching towards the sky as if controlling the lightning in the sky.
Countless Konoha Ninja and Sunagakure Ninja stared at the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky, many of them sensing that a terrifying behemoth was about to descend from the clouds.
The ninjas in battle were not mistaken; a blue, Kirin- like divine beast was occasionally peeking out from the dark clouds, or revealing its tail.
Looking at the lightning in the sky, Hatake Sakumo felt a powerful force of thunder, as if someone was pulling him. Relying on his sixth sense accumulated over many years, Hatake Sakumo looked at the huge Earth Style Wall halfway up the mountain.
"Was it Uchiha Nara Lightning Release?"
The strange phenomenon in the sky made the ordinary ninjas feel oppressed. They couldn't tell friend from foe, and the battle stopped for the first time ever. Under such terrifying pressure, they all retreated.
"Let's land together with the thunder, Kirin!"
Uchiha Ruofeng emerged from the summit of the Earth Style Wall: Earth Wall, looking expressionlessly at the large group of Sunagakure Ninja before him, and pressed his large hand down.
"Is this fake?"
Naraku stared blankly at the desert, Tsunade sank into it.
At this moment, his mind lost focus, and his pupil power was like a burst water pipe with a drain outlet, the water flowing freely and even causing blood to trickle from Naraku's eyes.
"Ah!"
The pain in his eyes grew increasingly unbearable. Naraku out in pain, feeling all his strength drain away. He collapsed to his knees, covering his eyes with his hands.
"Blood?"
Naraku covered his eyes with his hands, yet felt a wetness. Enduring the pain, he looked at his hands, only to find them stained with blood.
Naraku's Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly when he lost his composure, eventually changing the shape of the Tomoe. In the crimson pupil, the three Tomoe shrank to the middle, becoming two black pupils that stuck together, just like the legendary Double Pupil.
Accompanied by blood and tears, Naraku's Sharingan underwent a change.
The original Sharingan had three Tomoe surrounding the small pupil in the center.
In Naraku's eyes, the three Tomoe disappeared as they spun rapidly, condensing next to the central pupil of his Red Eye. The central pupil shifted slightly to the side, and another pupil appeared.
Like two hornless Tomoe in the very center of Red Eye pupils.
This was a feeling Naraku had never experienced before. He felt as if his eye power had broken through its shackles and surged wildly, with his Chakra also rising accordingly.
The changes in his Sharingan caused Naraku immense pain; his eyes felt as if they were about to explode, and blood flowed continuously from them. Naraku covered his eyes with both hands, crying out in pain; even his resilient body could not endure the agony.
Despite the pain, Naraku did not forget his mission. He endured the pain, lowered his hands and stretched them out in front of him, using the Dark Release: Inhaling Maw to absorb Chakra from the desert.
"Ah!"
The pain from his eyes spread throughout his body, making it impossible for him to use Ninjutsu. Naraku covered his eyes again with both hands and shouted sharply:
"You lot, go rescue Tsunade!"
The once obedient group, seeing Naraku's state, showed worry and concern on their faces, and questioned:
"Lord Naraku! Your condition... you probably need our protection!"
Seeing that his omnipotent clan leader was so weak and in pain, a situation Uchiha Inabi had never witnessed before, Inabi was filled with worry and his mind was in turmoil.
Naraku felt an intense pain in his eyes, which radiated to every cell in his body. His pupil power surged, and Naraku realized that his eyes might have broken through their limitations and evolved while Naraku momentarily distracted.
Naraku's Chakra levels were abnormal, rendering him unable to speak or reprimand those around him. Flash Cut Flash Cut his eyes with his hands, which were shimmering with green Chakra. It was the Medical Ninjutsu, Healing Mystical Palm Technique, used to alleviate his pain.
"You..."
Naraku wanted to shout, but suddenly he could no longer control his green Chakra, and his Mystical Palm Technique stopped working. Naraku closed his eyes, lost consciousness, and fell forward.
Uchiha Inabi Zensui reacted quickly and caught Naraku.
"Chieftain!"
Inabi Zensui were truly panicked. Naraku's sudden coma left Zensui feeling helpless. Inabi omnipotent clan leader had collapsed for no apparent reason.
Uzumaki Taki forward to transfer Chakra to Naraku and to check for any abnormalities in Naraku 'Naraku body.
Kurama Kaori and Manao-maru remained vigilant. Although there were no enemies around, they could not be careless about the battlefield.
"Naraku's body is changing! It seems that Lady Tsunade was just buried ahead! Rescuing Lady Tsunade is the top priority!"
Uzumaki Taki has grown into an exceptionally skilled young female ninja, and she is now analyzing the current situation.
"Careful!"
Kurama Kaori remained vigilant, her Shuriken Naraku's front.
From the ground in front of Naraku, a person with black and white skin and an Aloe Head emerged, with a wooden spike in his palm, aiming at Naraku, while neither dodging nor avoiding the Shuriken that were shot at him.
Inabi Zensui were somewhat panicked by Naraku's condition. Hearing Kaori's reminder, Inabi reacted in the critical moment and pushed Uchiha Nara away, avoiding the mysterious assassin's attack.
On the other side, Zensui, who was supporting Naraku, was pushed and stumbled, but managed to narrowly avoid the attack. The black and white person with the Aloe Head emerged from the ground and pounced on Naraku again.
"We succeeded!"
The Black and White Monster with the Aloe Head was incredibly fast. Just as the sharp spike in its hand was about to pierce Uchiha Nara, Uchiha Zensui reacted.
With his Sharingan glaring, Zensui grabbed Naraku's arm, Naraku, and threw him far off. Zensui himself, however, was pierced by the spikes in the Black and White Monster's palm.
What was initially thought to be a minor injury turned into a series of sharp, splinter-like thorns erupting from Zensui's body after the spike pierced him. It was as if iron tree thorns were growing from within his body. Zensui's scream abruptly ceased, and he fell silent.
Despite the series of unexpected events, everyone reacted quickly. Manao-maru gripped the hilt of his sword and swiftly drew it forward with a slash. The long sword, partially drawn from its sheath, emitted a blue light, clearly transmitting sharp Chakra.
Uzumaki Taki lunged at Naraku, helped the unconscious Naraku his feet, and Body Flicker Technique fled towards the spot where Tsunade had buried him, where an elite Guard Corps was stationed.
As Manao-maru slashed with his longsword, the Black and White Monster found himself standing on a rapidly growing tree. Manao-maru cleaved the tree in two with a single strike, and before Manao-maru could react, the Black and White Monster delivered a side kick that sent Manao-maru flying.
Uchiha Inabi stared blankly at the Black and White Monster with the Aloe Head, and the corpse of Uchiha Zensui beside him, his eyes wide open and veins throbbing on his face.
After kicking Manao-maru away, the Black and White Monster with the Aloe Head did not pursue him, but instead chased after Uzumaki Taki and Naraku ahead.
Uchiha Inabi leaped to the side, blocking the aloe vera monster's pursuit. She Hand Seals and unleashed a massive, intensely hot ball of fire at the Black and White Monster.
The aloe-shaped monster is half black and half white, and can manipulate grass and trees, seemingly using the legendary Wood Release ninjutsu.
The flames of the Inabi were blocked by the giant trees that grew rapidly from the ground. The giant trees seemed to absorb Chakra and reduce the damage of Ninjutsu. The giant trees burned fiercely in the flames, but they also neutralized the Fire Style Ninjutsu of the Inabi.
The Black and White Monster with the Aloe Head lunged at the Inabi once more.
Uchiha Inabi's expression grew increasingly ferocious, his veins throbbed more and more terrifyingly, and his eyes were wide open, as if his eyeballs were about to pop out.
What made the Black and White Monster even more wary was that the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in the scarlet Sharingan of the person before him spun rapidly, turning into a strange pattern.
"No matter who you are, you cannot pass through here! Chieftain! I will protect you!"
The clan leader's unexplained coma, the tragic death of Zensui, and the sudden appearance of this strangely capable assassin enraged Uchiha Inabi!
