"Boom!"
The barrier of the Three-Way Seal shattered with a crash. Akaza looked at Uchiha Meikyō with his newly restored head, and the next glance met his eyes with those scarlet Three Tomoe.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan!"
Meikyō needs to control Akaza with Genjutsu, even if only for a moment, so that he can seize the initiative and launch a continuous attack to try to kill him.
The activation time of the Genjutsu Sharingan is very short, allowing the enemy to see what they fear most.
When Muzan Kibutsuji, who had infiltrated Akaza's body, broke the seal, this was the scene he witnessed:
A man with deep red hair, a high ponytail, wearing a red haori and earrings, brandished Crimson Blade and charged at him.
"Tsugikuni Yoriichi!"
Muzan Kibutsuji was instantly terrified.
Has Tsugikuni Yoriichi been dead for hundreds of years? This must be an illusion!
"A hallucination! This must be a hallucination! It's definitely a hallucination!"
Muzan Kibutsuji believed this.
Although, this is indeed the case.
But the next moment, Muzan Kibutsuji changed his mind.
"Sun Breathing, First Form, Dance!"
Holy crap!
That familiar feeling! That familiar pain!
"Sun Breathing, Second Form: Azure Sky!"
"Sun Breathing - Third Form - Scorching Sun Red Mirror!"
Run!
Only this one thought flashed through Muzan Kibutsuji's mind. He subconsciously tried to control his body to explode into countless pieces and escape, but found that it was of no use.
"Sun Breathing - Eighth Form - Spinning Sun Shimmer!"
The familiar pain returned, and Muzan Kibutsuji realized that his consciousness was now inside Akaza's body.
This relieved him, and he quickly regained his senses.
He dared not look.
He knew that if Tsugikuni Yoriichi managed to break through Akaza's weak point in the neck, he would surely die!
With a crash, countless reagents on the table were swept away by Muzan Kibutsuji, whose emotions had become extremely unstable.
"Tsugikuni Yoriichi! You bastard, you're still alive! He's alive, he's come back to me alive!"
Veins bulged on Muzan Kibutsuji's face. The wounds Yoriichi Tsugikuni left on him Tsugikuni Yoriichi then had not fully healed even now; he had simply hidden them away.
Of the more than 1,800 fragments that he split off from, more than 1,300 were destroyed by Tsugikuni Yoriichi to this day.
More than three hundred years!
"My husband, who is Tsugikuni Yoriichi...?"
A woman's voice rang out, and outside the paper doors and windows, the figure of a young woman holding a child appeared.
Muzan Kibutsuji didn't answer, but silently gave Nakime a command through his consciousness to take him back to the Infinite Castle.
If Tsugikuni Yoriichi were still alive in this world, he would stay in the Infinite Castle and never come out!
"Sun Breathing - Eleventh Form - Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance!"
"Sun Breathing, Twelfth Form: Flame Dance!"
The thirteenth form of Sun Breathing, which is also the final form, is essentially a combination of the previous twelve forms of breathing.
Meikyō unleashed the Thirteenth Form ten times in a short period of time on Akaza, slashing him a total of one hundred and twenty times before finally destroying him completely.
Meanwhile, in the Infinite Castle...
"That Akaza guy... he really is dead! As expected of you, Tsugikuni Yoriichi ~"
Unable to sense the Muzan Kibutsuji gloomy expression on Akaza, Muzan looked at a female demon holding a biwa (a type of Chinese lute) beside him.
"Nakime, bring Kokushibo over here! I have something to ask him!"
Kokushibo told him that he had personally witnessed Tsugikuni Yoriichi's death!
Muzan Kibutsuji wanted to ask what exactly was going on.
At worst, I can hide for another three hundred years!
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. They've waited a thousand years, Muzan Kibutsuji of time to wait too!
"Clang!"
Nakime silently plucked the strings of her koto.
"Healing Technique!"
A green light emanated from Meikyō's hand and pressed down on his shoulder.
He still suffered some minor injuries in his battle with Akaza.
"As expected, Sun Breathing can indeed enhance the Yang Chakra within me. Even the Healing Technique that I was always just short of mastering before is now easily mastered thanks to the effect of Yang Chakra."
Looking at his wounds, now completely healed, Meikyō's face was full of contemplation as he fiddled with a syringe in his hand.
It was filled with red blood.
He took it just as he was about to completely kill Akaza.
After all, it is the Upper Rank Three of the Twelve Kizuki, which is of great research value.
Meikyō's injuries were minor, and he could recover easily even without using a difficult A-rank healing Ninjutsu like the Mystical Palm Technique.
Although he doesn't know any Mystical Palm Technique at all.
But even if you can get injured fighting an Upper Rank Three, what about the other demons?
Even though this Akaza is Akaza who has mastered the Transparent World and whose strength has increased significantly.
Through this battle, Meikyō clearly assessed his own strength and believed that even if he encountered Upper Rank One, Kokushibo, he would have a certain chance of killing him.
After all, even Akaza, who had opened the Transparent World, was not much of a threat to him. Although Kokushibo still had Moon Breathing and the Demon Curse Mark, Meikyō still felt there was nothing to be afraid of.
But Muzan Kibutsuji?
He remembered that if a wound appeared and was stained with Muzan Kibutsuji's blood, then without Tamayo's antidote or timely exposure to sunlight, it would almost certainly mean certain death.
In the original timeline, very few people survived the final battle.
"In the end, it's still because we're a bit lacking in strength."
Meikyō sighed softly. If Orochimaru had come to this world, Muzan Kibutsuji would probably already be an experimental subject on the operating table.
Fortunately, he has other ways to improve his strength.
"Mirror Body Flicker Technique involves space-time and Sealing Technique. Tsunade should be able to give me some pointers. As a contractor of Shikkotsu Forest, she is at least very knowledgeable about Space-Time Ninjutsu such as Summoning Technique Sealing Technique. She must also be quite good at sealing techniques, having learned the Yin Seal. Oh, and there's Minato Namikaze. He should at least be learning the Flying Thunder God Technique by now. Since Mirror Body Flicker Technique is derived from the Flying Thunder God, he should be able to give me a lot of help as well."
While Meikyō was making her calculations, she quickly returned to the Butterfly Mansion.
The news of Upper Rank Three's slaying must be sent back as soon as possible. Also, the Nichirin Blade in my hand, although the Crimson Blade created by my Senjutsu Chakra Fire Style Release is very effective, even much stronger than a simple Crimson Blade, was melted beyond recognition by the heat of my Fire Style after a fight.
This time, I'm definitely going to forge new swords, preferably several, to use in conjunction with my Shadow Clone. That way, the threat to the demons will be even greater.
"Ahem, Upper Rank Three has actually been killed!"
Ubuyashiki Kagaya's face lit up with joy upon receiving the news.
The purple blisters on his face had covered his entire forehead, and his body was gradually weakening.
