Chapter 217: Their Respective Mangekyo? Sharingan Techniques


    Chapter 217: Their Respective Mangekyo? Sharingan Techniques


    One battle had ended, and another was drawing to a close.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Uchiha Kei was surrounded by a majestic and enormous dark gray Susanoo, withstanding the various jutsus of Kakuzu, who had entered his Earth Grudge Fear mode. With each step, Kei''s Susanoo swung its massive weapons, creating a grand spectacle as it slashed toward Kakuzu.


    After activating his Mangekyo? Sharingan, one of Uchiha Kei''s Mangekyo? techniques was to enhance his Susanoo.


    Though he had only recently awakened his Mangekyo? Sharingan, with its support, his Susanoo had already reached its third form.


    If he continued to train, achieving the fourth form and even the complete form was only a matter of time.


    At this moment, having underestimated his opponent''s strength, Kakuzu, in his Earth Grudge Fear mode and left with only three masked monsters, watched the advancing dark gray Susanoo with a grave expression. The Fire Mask and Wind Mask immediately opened their mouths.


    "Fire Release: Searing Migraine!"


    "Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"


    "Combined Jutsu: Flame Wind Chaos!"


    A high-temperature sea of flames, even larger than Susanoo, swept toward it.


    Within the sea of flames, although Susanoo halted momentarily, under Uchiha Kei''s ocular power, it showed no signs of damage.


    Seeing this, Kakuzu frowned.


    As a ninjutsu artillery type, he was reluctant to face opponents with strong defenses.


    He had wanted to switch targets.


    But that idiot Hidan had been provoked and was now too far away, making it too late to switch.


    "In that case, I''ll have to wait until the Mangekyo? Sharingan can''t hold out anymore," Kakuzu quickly decided.


    As a member of the Akatsuki, Kakuzu had worked with Itachi Uchiha for several years. Though they weren''t in the same team, he had some understanding of the Mangekyo? Sharingan.


    The Mangekyo? Sharingan was powerful, but it consumed a lot of chakra and physical strength.


    Especially the various powerful ocular techniques, which required a significant toll.


    Kakuzu didn''t believe Uchiha Kei''s Susanoo could be maintained for long.


    If the stalemate continued, he would be the final victor.


    So, Kakuzu stopped engaging directly and began to dodge Susanoo''s attacks with the agility provided by Earth Grudge Fear.


    Noticing this, and seeing that Susanoo''s attacks were ineffective, Uchiha Kei frowned.


    Aware that this situation would become increasingly disadvantageous for him, he didn''t hesitate any longer. His Mangekyo? Sharingan in his right eye activated.


    "Butsuyutama!"


    Uchiha Kei activated his other Mangekyo? technique.


    A giant longbow instantly formed in front of Susanoo.


    His taijutsu, paired with his bizarre and deadly scythe, had overwhelmed seasoned jonin like Asuma until they were injured.


    Combined with his immortal body, few could endure his relentless assaults.


    Izumi could hold her own in taijutsu and occasionally land a cut on Hidan because she possessed the Mangekyo? Sharingan.


    Additionally, without needing Hagoromo''s instructions, Deidara had already reported Hidan''s abilities.


    Izumi knew from the start not to let Hidan get her blood.


    With this precaution, she kept the frustrated Hidan at bay.


    "It''s about time."


    Having analyzed Hidan''s combat style, Izumi''s eyes flashed as she retreated a few steps, luring the impulsive Hidan into a predetermined spot and then intentionally pausing.


    Hidan, without thinking, swung his scythe.


    Slash.


    Blood splattered.


    Seeing his scythe embedded in Izumi''s shoulder, dyeing the blade red, Hidan was surprised but couldn''t help laughing:


    "Ha! You''re dead!!"


    He eagerly moved to lick the blood droplets.


    But at that moment.


    Izumi and the blood on the scythe vanished.


    "What the..."


    Hidan''s eyes widened, about to say something.


    A spatial ripple suddenly appeared behind him.


    Hidan tried to defend, but being in an attack stance, he was a beat too slow.


    A short sword sliced through the air.


    In a flash, Hidan was decapitated.


    One of Uchiha Izumi''s Mangekyo? Sharingan techniques, Time Reversal.


    By setting a temporal anchor point, the user could return to that point within the next five seconds, restoring their state to what it was when the anchor was set.


    This was why Izumi suddenly appeared behind Hidan, uninjured as before.


    The only drawback was the brief spatial ripple and momentary stiffness when reappearing.


    A powerful opponent could exploit this moment.


    Izumi had let Hidan hit her to make him pause for an instant.


    Thus, the battle was decided.
