Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Chapter 658: When all Four Acts

As Shodaime became more serious, he clasped his hands together and manipulated the tree vines to assault Danzo’s Susano’o, denying Danzo any time to fight back.

Countless thick tree vines attacked Danzo from all directions and wrapped around his Susano’o under Shodaime’s power… Danzo’s Susano’o was wrapped in and around by thick tree vines in a matter of seconds, but that wasn’t the end of it, as the tree vines began to tighten and crush Danzo’s Susano’o one by one!

“Damn you!” Danzo screamed violently and unleashed more chakra and visual prowess onto the battlefield.

Two streaks of bloody tears poured down his cheeks, and Danzo’s Susano’o began a furious struggle shortly after.

Danzo began shredding the tree vines one by one with the brutal force and sharpness of his Susano’o’s claws; simultaneously, the bloody mist coming out of his Susano’o became denser denser, and the tree vines began to corrode and break loose under its corrosive influence.

Shodaime grimaced when he saw this, and after weaving the hand motions, he yelled, “Wood Golem Jutsu!”

Thousands of trees emerged from the ground and assembled into the shape of a statue-like monster with an oni-like face, a human-like body, and a wooden dragon wrapped around its torso, just a little smaller than Danzo’s Susano’o.

Shodaime leaped on the Wooden Golem’s body as it took shape, commanding it to battle Danzo’s Susano’o.

Bang…! Bang…! Boom…! Boom…!

As a result, the Susano’o and the Wooden Golem attacked each other…

With a roar, the Wooden Golem drove the Susano’o against the volcano’s wall with a powerful blow.

Shodaime didn’t allow Danzo a chance to catch his breath after the first successful assault, and instead continued to hit him one by one… Shodaime appeared to have a good chance of defeating Danzo considering his advantage over him, but this advantage didn’t last long as bloody-red crystals began to emerge beneath Golem’s feet.

The bloody-red crystals imprisoned the Golem’s motions as they appeared beneath his feet.

“Crystal Style?” says the narrator. Shodaime mumbled, frowning…

When the Wooden Golem’s movements were sealed, Danzo used this tiny window to command his Susano’o to pounce on the Golem, putting more effort into fighting Shodaime’s Golem.

The conflict between two giants shook the cave once more, and the Susano’o’s walls began to disintegrate even more. The entire volcano would have crumbled long ago if it hadn’t been for Shodaime’s gigantic trees that supported the cave’s walls.

Roar…!

The Bloody Red Susano’o let out another powerful roar at this point, shaking the souls of everyone in the cave.

Because Susano’o was not defended this time, even Homusubi was not spared and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood… Orochimaru’s health deteriorated as he spit a large amount of blood, causing his body to become weak, his face to turn pale, and he to be forced to kneel on the ground while taking deep breaths.

“Was that the same ability he had just a few minutes ago?”

But… what type of ability is this, exactly?

He can use sound to directly target his adversaries’ souls?”

Homusubi was concerned about Danzo’s power to assault the souls of his foes directly…!

Ordinary shinobi have no way of attacking other shinobi’s souls, and up until now, possibly only two shinobi had this ability: the first was undoubtedly Senju Tobirama, and the second was Dan Kato, who employed the Spirit Transformation Jutsu.

However, it looks that even Danzo has obtained the power to attack souls directly, which is a major problem for his foes.

Ordinary shinobi have no way of increasing the strength of their souls except by training the Yin Chakra, which doesn’t improve the strength of the soul very much. As a result, if ordinary shinobi are attacked directly in the soul, they become entirely feeble and helpless.

Especially those who, like Orochimaru, have made their souls extremely weak by conducting unlawful rituals on them on a regular basis…

Orochimaru was the one who suffered the most during this period, and he grumbled, “I never expected Danzo to become such a headache…!”

“And the credit for this goes to none other than you,” Homusubi remarked, irritably clicking her tongue. Danzo would have long since died if you hadn’t messed with the ceremony, and we wouldn’t be meeting him here.”

Shodaime, no matter how powerful he is, is an Edo Tensei, therefore he can’t show off his full potential and can’t unleash his most powerful jutsus like ‘Veritable 1000-Armed Kan’on and all that…

Because Shodaime isn’t at his best right now, Danzo can easily keep up with him. As a result, thinking that the most powerful Hokage will put a stop to Danzo is a naive concept that will never come true.

And if Danzo managed to flee this volcano, the danger he would pose to the shinobi world, Amatsukami, and Orochimaru would be enormous… The reason for this is that he will be able to restore his sanity and become acquainted with the seven Kekkei Genkai in his body, which is something Homusubi does not desire… As a result, she folded her fists in front of her and muttered to Orochimaru beside her, “Strike while the iron is hot… This is our best chance… let’s all assault him at the same time and put a stop to this charade…”

Orochimaru nodded, agreeing with Homusubi’s point of view. I guess I don’t have much of a choice at this point…” He then activated the Cursed Seals he’d implanted in himself.

Homusubi used an incredibly enormous flame Jutsu on Danzo as soon as her hand songs were finished, and she also reactivated her golden Susano’o to the ultimate Winged stage and pounced on him with it.

Whoosh…!

As soon as she rushed toward Danzo, Homusubi used the four Golden Swords of her Susano’o and slashed them at Danzo with all her might…

Whiiish…

The right arm of Danzo’s Susano’o flew out as the golden sword dropped…!

“What the…?” Danzo was taken aback; he had not expected such a thing to happen… He hadn’t expected Homusubi to still be capable of slashing his Susano’o’s arm with a single stroke!

But, after a period of shock and amazement, he became enraged… He screamed angrily and waved his fists furiously, attempting to rip Homusubi and her Susano’o to shreds.

However, when Homusubi was able to parry Danzo’s claw attacks, he became increasingly irritated…

Danzo made the hand motions out of rage and restlessness, and the ground underneath them rocked… But, unlike the other occasions, this time it wasn’t the Susano’o or anything else that attacked Homusubi; instead, it was the thick tree vines!

“Wood Style?” says the narrator. ‘So… he really does have more than one Kekkei Genkai…?’ Shodaime grumbled, frowning.

Furthermore, Danzo’s control over them appears to be immaculate… Whether it’s Susano’o, the preceding Crystal Style, or the Wood Style… All of them have been employed really well by Danzo, and they have shown a lot of power… It’s as though he’s been training them for years…

Or, to put it another way, he has intrinsically gained them in a highly powerful form, which implies that, despite his lack of command over them, he can demonstrate immense power from them…

Homusubi did not sit still as she saw innumerable tree vines approaching her and attempting to entwine around her contours… She woven the hand sings by folding her hands together.

Except for Shodaime and Nidaime, others were shocked to notice that, in addition to Homusubi’s hand signs, her Susano’o’s arms were also weaving the same hand signs.

“Blaze Release: Oshihimimi: Golden Lotus of Hell!” Homusubi whispered as the hand signs were completed.

As soon as she said the name of the Jutsu, golden flames flew into the night sky in a radius of almost a hundred metres around her, as if the volcano had burst…

‘Oshihimimi’ is not only Homusubi’s distinctive Kekkei Genkai, but also her Susano’o’s natural ability. As a result, when she uses her Kekkei Genkai while using the Susano’o, the effect is on another level.

The Bloody Red Smoke and the Blazing Golden Flames soon began a tug of war.

Orochimaru made his move just as Homusubi and Danzo were locked in a tug of battle…

‘The Eight-Headed Serpent’s Art!’

Orochimaru changed into a monstrous eight-headed Serpent, similar to Yamata-no-Orochi from tales and folklore, and pounced on the gory red Susano’o after speaking these words.

Strangely, contrary to mythology, Yamata-no-Orochi appeared to be the good man, while Susano’o, the god of thunder and storms who slew it in stories, appeared to be the bad person…
