"You don't really think I'm useless, do you?"
Uchiha Hikari snorted softly, "Did you think the only Eye Technique I hit Kinkaku with was Tsukuyomi?"
"Could it be..." Shin'yu suddenly thought of something.
"It's another Eye Technique of my left eye—Eight Thousand Spears·Imprint. When Kinkaku fell into the Genjutsu space, I also branded him with an imprint."
Uchiha Hikari raised her small face, a faint pride leaping in her calm tone, "As long as I activate the Eight Thousand Spears·Rotation of my right eye, I can directly control his Chakra regardless of distance. How is it? The taste of Nine-Tails Chakra... not bad, right?"
On the other side, Kinkaku was still lying unconscious on the ground, the red light flickering, the Tailed Beast cloak was actively peeling away from him, and on the back of his hand, the Mangekyo mark of Uchiha Hikari was clearly imprinted.
"It's more than just not bad..."
Hikari's face froze.
"Heh~ heh~"
As the Nine-Tails Chakra was injected, Shin'yu's complexion gradually flushed, he gasped for breath, and the cold Chakra seemed to merge with the Tailed Beast Chakra, scalding like magma.
"With this Chakra, maybe I can try that move..." Shin'yu became inexplicably excited, this violent Tailed Beast Power seemed to affect people's emotions.
His eyes seemed to burn with flames, and his Mangekyo Sharingan became much brighter, drifting with scarlet light, "Okay, it's decided, I'll use this move!"
"Um..." Uchiha Hikari hesitated and asked.
"Wait, which move are you going to use?"
Shin'yu breathed softly, as the Chakra slowly gathered, a whirlwind swirled around him, the wind became more and more violent, his black hair danced wildly, and his black clothes fluttered like a battle flag, Uchiha Hikari was almost unable to open her eyes from the wind.
"Hikari, watch carefully, this is how Susanoo is used!"
Shin'yu gathered his strength slightly, and the Chakra burst out, "*Susanoo·Third Stage·Crow Tengu!*"
The black gas expanded sharply, like boiling lava, the half-body giant roared, and dense armor quickly grew all over his body, like black scales, opening and closing one by one from back to front, making a crisp metallic sound.
When the Crow Tengu armor covered his head, under the half-covered mask, a dazzling white half of his face was revealed, and the armor on his body suddenly tightened, a pair of bright blue eyes shot out light!
The Third Stage Susanoo adds Crow Tengu armor on the original basis of Susanoo, the size expands several times, the defense is greatly improved, and the weapons that can be used are more abundant, even including the legendary Divine Weapon.
This kind of Susanoo is extremely powerful, but the consumption of Chakra is also greatly increased, and it is extremely unstable. It is difficult for ordinary Mangekyo to maintain this form for a long time, which is the limit of ordinary Mangekyo.
The Crow Tengu Susanoo is huge and majestic, such a big lump, it is almost catching up with a small mountain, under its prominence, the black sea of fire has become a foil-like existence.
"It's my turn!"
Shin'yu's eyes burst with red light, the Susanoo Big Hand waved, and dozens of Jet Black magatama scattered all over the sky, seeing Ginkaku's soul fly away, he put away the Basho Fan and ran.
Previously, he needed to maintain the strength of the Susanoo, so he couldn't spare the energy to deal with Ginkaku, but now with the blessing of the armor, the Susanoo has become much more resistant to burning, and Shin'yu can finally fight back.
The overwhelming Yasaka Magatama were thrown out like scattering beans.
Ginkaku stirred the Basho Fan, fanning out large swaths of sand and dust and hurricanes, trying to block it for a moment, but those magatama went against the current and almost shaved off his head!
While Shin'yu blocked Ginkaku's movement, he used the other two hands of the Susanoo to rub out a burst of black light, a dark and deep aura flowing, and the prototype of a long-handled weapon gradually emerged.
"Buzz—"
The black light solidified into substance, and the dark golden sharp light flowed along the long handle, it was a huge spear!
The spear shaft was straight, the spearhead sharp, as dazzling as lightning. The spear handle was carved with ancient and obscure patterns, possessing an extreme linear aesthetic. That forceing chill, just a distant glance was enough to make one's heart palpitate, like a giant dragon poised to strike, ready to pounce at any moment, ferocious and violent, yet without losing its agility and elegance.
"Divine Weapon·Totsuka-no-Tsurugi."
The four-armed giant gripped the spear shaft tightly, slowly pulling it back. Several consecutive magatama forced Ginkaku down from mid-air. Shin'yu seized the opportunity, aimed at Ginkaku's landing point, and hurled the spear!
"Whoosh!"
The giant spear tore through the air, like a black thunderbolt. Its speed was so great that even the tail of the spear burst out a ring of white air!
Ginkaku looked at the dark spearhead, and for the first time felt the threat of death, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints!
In this critical moment, he hurriedly used the Crimson Gourd to parry the attack. The spear carried the force of a thousand jun, and with just one blow, it smashed the Crimson Gourd to pieces!
The Sage of Six Paths' legendary Ninja Tool thus came to an dim end!
The spearhead pierced into the ground, setting off an unstoppable shockwave. Black light rippled out, and in the midst of the rumbling sound, the earth shook and the mountains swayed.
"Hoo hoo~"
Ginkaku climbed up from the ground, panting heavily. He had been blown away, his exoskeleton was shattered, and the red light all over his body had dimmed a lot.
"Good kid, I was almost killed by you, hahahaha..." He grinned, his eyes dancing with ecstasy after surviving a disaster.
Shin'yu's slight lift of the corners of the mouth raised slightly, "Is that so?"
The giant black spear did not disappear. As ancient and complex runes lit up on the spear shaft, a layer of ripples suddenly spread out on the ground!
At this moment, the gravity within a radius of several hundred meters suddenly increased by hundreds of times, the ground collapsed with a bang, and even the air became heavy!
Ginkaku almost instantly bent over, his knees loud noise, and even his spine made a "creak" sound under the unbearable weight. This feeling was like being dragged into Hell by the ghosts in the endless abyss!
"Cu...rse... What... exactly... is going on..."
He wanted to raise his head, but he really couldn't, and even lifting one foot required great effort.
"Totsuka-no-Tsurugi", the legendary divine spear that housed the law of gravity, could not only bless the spear shaft with gravity, but also form its own domain, allowing everything within a certain range to bear dozens or even hundreds of times the gravity.
Ginkaku "thumped" and knelt down, his hands struggling to support himself on the ground, trembling wildly like a sieve, like a bamboo that had been bent over.
Although his body could withstand supergravity, the blood in his body would also accumulate in the lower part of his body, leading to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. He had to use a bowing posture to avoid cerebral ischemia.
"Damn it!!!!" He roared.
"You actually made me kneel to you, you brat!"
Ginkaku finally went berserk, his red light blazed, and the Nine-Tails Chakra erupted in bursts of air, although he barely stood up, he still did not break free from the shackles of gravity.
"You're really unwilling to give up."
Shin'yu deactivated the Susanoo·Third Stage·Crow Tengu, leaving only the initial skeletal form. The Amaterasu on the periphery gradually extinguished with the disappearance of the black gas.
He took the opportunity to drive the bone arm, scooped up a handful of flames, and then rushed towards Ginkaku in one stride.
"Totsuka-no-Tsurugi" could not affect him in the slightest. He moved freely in the gravity field, and suppressed Ginkaku with one palm.
Black Flames burned rapidly along the bone hand, and finally burned on Ginkaku's body!
"Ugh ah ah ah!"
Ginkaku issued a miserable scream, writhing like a loach, but under Shin'yu's suppression and the Divine Weapon·Totsuka-no-Tsurugi, no matter how he struggled, it was in vain.
"Accumulate!" Shin'yu's voice rang out like spring thunder.
Uchiha Hikari suddenly froze, her beautiful eyes wide open, such a stunned expression was rare.
What did she see?
That clump of Amaterasu actually expanded dozens of times in an instant at Shin'yu's command!
"He can actually control my Amaterasu!"
Amaterasu, known for burning everything, will not disappear until the target is completely burned, and even she can only control the switch.
But Shin'yu not only expanded the fire of Amaterasu, but even controlled the direction of Amaterasu's spread, protecting himself from harm!
In comparison, Ginkaku was much more miserable, losing consciousness after a few breaths. After Amaterasu stripped away his Tailed Beast cloak, it gradually extinguished, revealing the severely burned body inside.
"Finally..." Shin'yu smiled.
The battle ended, and he habitually activated his Eye Technique to restore his state.
Except for the Black Flames on his body, the large and small injuries, the consumption of Chakra, the wear and tear of the Mangekyo Sharingan, and the fatigue after the battle were all swept away, and his physical functions returned to normal.
"Yes." Uchiha Hikari also breathed a sigh of relief, "It took so much effort to finally subdue this guy."
At this moment, the original valley was gone, the clouds and mist had dissipated, and the surroundings were filled with scorched smoke. Several kilometers around had been razed to the ground.
"But..." She looked at Shin'yu strangely, her voice returning to its usual coldness, "Does defeating him make you so happy?"
"That's not the reason."
Shin'yu waved his hand, and the Black Flames on his body actively converged towards his right hand, condensing into a Jet Black fireball.
With a gentle blow, the fireball extinguished instantly, the casual posture like blowing out a candle.
"You... how did you do it?" Hikari frowned slightly, she noticed that Shin'yu didn't use Eye Technique.
"This..." Shin'yu's fingertip brushed across the socket of his left eye, the magic circle pattern in his pupil lit up, flowing with a faint light.
"I've finally adapted to your Amaterasu."
...
The battle ended, but the crisis was not resolved.
In Shin'yu's soul perception, many people were already approaching here, the commotion caused by the battle just now was too great.
The two stopped talking nonsense and immediately learned the last location where the Nine-Tails appeared through Ginkaku, which was...
The Land of Rice Fields located in the center of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire.
"Shin'yu, what about these two?" Uchiha Hikari drew a Kunai, her eyes turning cold, "Like before, kill them?"
Her hair was messy, her appearance a little disheveled, and the bloodshot in her eyes had not yet faded.
"Don't worry, I have other plans." Shin'yu patted her on the shoulder, "These two are more useful alive than dead."
Compared to Uchiha Hikari, his condition was much better, his Jet Black eyes were pure and moist, and he was refreshed and natural, as if the earth-shattering battle just now had nothing to do with him.
Shin'yu walked up to the unconscious Kinkaku and grabbed his hair. "Hikari, use your Yachihoko to imprint him too."
"You don't mean to..." Uchiha Hikari instantly guessed his intention.
"That's right, these two already have a huge amount of Chakra, and with the Nine-Tails' Chakra, they're practically two walking Chakra sources." Shin'yu pried open Ginkaku's eyelids with great interest. "I remember it only works when you make eye contact, right?"
"I really can't do anything with you." Uchiha Hikari was a little disgusted, but she still activated her Eye Technique as he asked.
Soon, a Mangekyo imprint also appeared on the back of Ginkaku's hand.
The activation condition for her "Eight Thousand Spears·Imprint" is the same as for "Tsukuyomi". First, they must make eye contact. If the target's mental strength is lower than Uchiha Hikari's, she can directly imprint them; otherwise, it can only be successfully imprinted if the target allows it, or if the target's consciousness has fallen into a coma and is unable to resist.
"That's right, with these two power banks, we won't have to worry about running out of Chakra for the time being." Shin'yu clapped his hands.
Uchiha Hikari glanced at Ginkaku. "Aren't you taking his Sage of Six Paths Treasures?"
"Just a waste of space, I might have considered it before." Shin'yu shook his head slightly.
He raised his sword fingers, and a foot-long Chakra Blade immediately sprang up from his fingertips. As the blue light flowed, he used his finger as a sword and inscribed a few large, flamboyant characters next to Ginkaku.
"The one who did this is Uchiha of the Hidden Leaf!"
"Alright, that's perfect." Shin'yu scratched his chin, revealing a satisfied smile.
"You..." Uchiha Hikari was slightly stunned, looking at him speechlessly. "Is it really okay to do this?"
"What does it matter? The Hidden Leaf Village is a big family, are they afraid of this little trouble?" Shin'yu said nonchalantly, "Lord Madara must be causing trouble for the Hidden Leaf right now, I'm just helping him out."
"Alright, the Cloud Village's pursuers will be here soon, let's use that trick to retreat."
After saying that, he bit his index finger and quickly formed a few hand seals. "*Reverse Summoning Technique!*"
With a "bang," his figure disappeared, turning into a wisp of white smoke that slowly dissipated.
Uchiha Hikari followed suit, gently wiping her fair jade fingers on her face, using the blood to form hand seals. "*Reverse Summoning Technique!*"
Her vision suddenly darkened, and a sense of dizziness swept over her. When she opened her eyes again, she was already in a small, ancient room, with a round orange cat squatting in front of her.
"Meow~ Payment, please." The orange cat stretched out its paw, looking indifferent.
Uchiha Hikari sighed, took out a stack of banknotes from her pouch. The orange cat took the banknotes, licked its paw, and ran away without even looking up.
This cat is her Summoning Beast, a Ninja Cat named Kitsuroumaru. Although it looks cute and silly, it is very stingy. It won't accept a penny less than its fee, which makes it difficult for her to resist petting it.
"Mata-ne! Catnip drinks alone won't cut it, meow. Tetsusuke, I won't be fooled by you this time, meow."
"Don't be so stingy, what's the use of so much money for a little kitty like you?"
In front, Shin'yu was arguing with a slender tabby cat.
"Unlimited Summoning Technique is quite tiring, meow. Freeloading isn't a good habit, meow." Tetsusuke raised his head and stared at Shin'yu, his paw stretched out.
"Hmph, I thought we were good friends." Shin'yu fumbled in his pocket, looking reluctant.
"If you don't pay this time, I won't respond to you next time, meow."
"You're ruthless, I won't bring you drinks next time!"
"Reverse Summoning Technique", a fixed-point teleportation Ninjutsu developed by Shin'yu. First, you need to get on good terms with the cats. When they sense the Summoning Technique's call, they don't respond to the summons, but instead summon the caster.
This is also a kind of Space-Time Ninjutsu in disguise.
"This is the reward for this Summoning Technique, and this one..." Shin'yu placed the second stack of banknotes on the cat's paw, "Pass a message to Lord Madara, the Nine-Tails is likely in the Land of Rice Fields, we will meet in the Land of Rice Fields."
Tetsusuke nodded, swiping the Matatabi drink from Shin'yu's hand, "Aren't you going to see the Cat Matriarch?"
"No, that old hag has too long of a tongue, she'll reveal our whereabouts."
"Oh." Tetsusuke counted the banknotes one by one with his cat paw, saying, "What about Boss Pochi, aren't you seeing him either?"
"That guy, seeing him once means losing half my fortune, he's simply a bottomless pit." Shin'yu rejected Tetsusuke's suggestion, "Do your own thing, and pass the message to Lord Madara as soon as possible, be sure to act cautiously."
"Don't worry, meow, as long as the money is in place, there's nothing this cat can't do."
The two rested in the Cat House for a while, then set off for the Land of Rice Fields.
...
"Hey, what do you mean by adapting to Amaterasu?"
On the way to the Land of Rice Fields, Uchiha Hikari finally couldn't help but ask, "Why is Amaterasu so obedient in your hands?"
"This is all thanks to my Eye Technique, it allows me to constantly adapt to everything in the world, eliminate negative influences, and provide the best solution to deal with damage." Shin'yu smiled slightly, "Your Amaterasu is truly the most difficult thing I've ever had to adapt to."
"Is this so-called 'best solution' the reason you can control Amaterasu?"
"Control? Not to that extent yet." Shin'yu leisurely traveled, hands behind his head, "Right now, all I can do is be immune to Amaterasu, and control its burning direction and intensity, it's still far from true control."
"How did you do it? I..." Hikari hesitated, remembering the embarrassment of being surrounded by her own Amaterasu when fighting Ginkaku.
The "Amaterasu" Eye Technique, although incredibly destructive, also causes considerable damage to oneself. In addition to consuming a large amount of Chakra, both releasing and closing it puts an unimaginable burden on the eyes.
Especially closing it, the flames swept over the sky and covered the earth at the time, and forcibly closing it would have been unbearable for her eyes.
She was the one who cast the technique, but she almost died in her own technique.
If I could also control the direction of Amaterasu...
"Want to learn?" Shin'yu looked back at her, with a teasing smile, "I'll teach you."
Uchiha Hikari stared at him, a certain persistence flashing in her beautiful eyes, "Stop being mysterious, are you going to tell me or not!"
"Cough cough." Shin'yu cleared his throat, "Amaterasu, in the end, is also a change in the nature of Chakra, it's just very extreme."
"Extreme?"
"Yes, simply put, use Wind Release to control its direction, and then use Fire Release to adjust its intensity. If you want to extinguish it, peel off the part of the Chakra that is in contact with Amaterasu, but this requires a little micro-operation, the shape transformation of Chakra is not a joke."
As he spoke, Shin'yu's expression began to become serious, while Hikari listened attentively, her watery almond eyes full of thirst for knowledge.
The two walked and talked, naturally entering this state of "teaching and imparting knowledge" between teacher and student.
For a long time in the past, Uchiha Hikari's training was conducted under Shin'yu's guidance. In addition to Eye Technique, all of the Ninja's skills were taught by Shin'yu, tracking and searching, stealth reconnaissance, Three Body Technique, Ninjutsu and Taijutsu... From explanation to sparring, it was a complete one-stop service.
One-on-one, guaranteed to learn.
On the surface, the two are both Madara's disciples, but in reality, the one Hikari should truly call "Master" is the refined and detached young man in front of her.
"Controlling two attributes at the same time is a bit difficult." Hikari frowned slightly.
"Strictly speaking, there are three types." Shin'yu revealed a thoughtful expression, "When I first adapted to your Amaterasu, I had some novel experiences. This so-called 'eternal flame' is very likely a Special Bloodline Limit."
"Bloodline Limit!?"
Shin'yu nodded, "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, it should be a fusion of Wind Release and Fire Release, which is why it has that terrifying temperature. As for that eternal burning characteristic... it seems there's a third attribute as well."
Hikari thought for a moment, realizing that her question seemed to have been diverted, "Is that important?"
"Of course, it's important!" Shin'yu raised his voice, "If we know what the remaining attribute is, it means we can recreate Amaterasu and use our own Chakra to fuse and develop a new Bloodline Limit!"
He looked at Hikari's eyes, his starry eyes slightly lit up, "At that time, controlling the form of Amaterasu will be no different from controlling ordinary form transformations!"
"We Uchiha already have a Bloodline Limit," Hikari said with some distress, "How easy is it to develop a new one?"
I have a cheat... Shin'yu blinked, suddenly changing his tone, his voice lowered to almost a pleading level, "Hikari, let's do an experiment. I'll activate Mahoraga, and you burn me with Amaterasu. I'll try to analyze it again. Although I can analyze it myself, the progress is too slow this way."
"You... are you crazy?" Hikari approached in surprise, tentatively testing his temperature with her cool, soft little hand.
Shin'yu brushed away her little hand, "What's wrong with it? Anyway, I'm already immune. I'll be counting on you along the way!"
"Do... do you want to do it now?"
"Yes, I'm very curious about the results of the secondary adaptation!"
"Ah, I really can't do anything with you..."
