The entire cave shook and crumbled with each impact, as if it may fall at any minute, under the loud roar and battle of two Susano’o!
Despite the tremors and devastation, Orochimaru, who was hiding not far away, was ecstatically watching the battle!
For Orochimaru, a conflict between two Susano’o is incredibly rare… And he is intrigued by this sight in which Homusubi’s Mangekyou Sharingan can contend with Shimura Danzo’s Mangekyou Sharingan.
According to Orochimaru’s understanding, Danzo’s Mangekyou Sharingan is obviously a level above any common Mangekyou Sharingan, but even with that Mangekyou Sharingan, she can compete with Danzo on an even fitting…
What exactly does this imply?
Orochimaru is unsure, but he believes it’s because Homusubi’s Mangekyou Sharingan is at the same level as Danzo’s.
The words Danzo blurted out with a shocked face… ‘Your eyes…’ added to Orochimaru’s skepticism.
…
On the Ritual Altar.
“I’m going to rip you to shreds…!”
Danzo screamed angrily, and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes radiated a dark, frigid, and homicidal aura with his rage.
His Susano’o, too, emanated a peculiar red mist filled with wicked, cold, and homicidal aura, driven by his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Puff… Puff… Puff…
This weird crimson mist appeared to have particular corrosive properties, as everyone or anything who came into even the slightest contact with it began to rot, melt, and disintegrate.
The blood-red mist appeared to be the very embodiment of death, sucking up all signs of life from anything and everything in its path, whether it were living beings like root shinobis or inanimate items like rocks.
Nothing appeared to be able to stand in its way.
Even Homusubi appeared frightened when she saw such a spectacle…
She’d seen a lot of Susano’o in her life, but Danzo’s Susano’o seemed to have surpassed all of her expectations in terms of strength and power… Not to mention the venomous chakra it exudes…
Knowing that if the stalemate persisted, the situation may spiral out of control, Homusubi took a deep breath and, without hesitation, fully utilised the visual power of her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!
Huala…!
Instantly, beautiful golden flames erupted from the earth, enveloping Homusubi’s Susano’o in golden flames and giving it the appearance of the Sun… And the golden flames didn’t stop there; after covering the Susano’o, they spread to other areas of the cave in an attempt to clear all remnants of red mist and illuminate the entire volcanic tunnel in a beautiful golden light.
Danzo, however, was not to be left behind, and when he saw he was being overpowered by Homusubi, he increased his chakra and visual prowess…
Inside the volcanic cave, the two Susano’o fought each other ferociously in this manner.
Even Orochimaru couldn’t help but summon a snake several meters long and hide inside it, being so close to such a level of fight…
The other Root shinobi had the same reaction… they stared at the two Susano’o with terror in their eyes… and attempted to go as far away from there as possible
Perhaps this conflict between Homusubi and Danzo is the very first between two people who possess the Uchiha Clan’s Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan… What’s more ludicrous, or perhaps ironic to put it another way, neither Homusubi nor Shimura Danzo is actual Uchiha Clan shinobi…
After a period of deadlock, Danzo became irritated and enraged…
“Why don’t you just die already!!!”
He couldn’t believe that, despite his great power, he couldn’t deal with Homusubi right away.
He’s in desperate need of a quick triumph right now…
Danzo is well aware that the longer he waits, the more difficult his predicament will become because Homusubi is constantly sucking Chakra from his body…
Danzo doesn’t want the chakra that belongs solely to him to go to Homusubi, whether instinctively or consciously…
He has no idea what is causing the alterations in his eyes… But whatever is going on, he doesn’t want anything or anyone to get in the way…
Danzo is irritated by the fact that Homusubi’s presence is causing him to do exactly what he doesn’t want…
What’s more aggravating is that he can’t do anything to prevent it…!
Not only Danzo, but also Homusubi, are full of surprises when confronted with such a predicament.
She had no idea things would turn out the way they did… It may appear to Danzo and Orochimaru that this is Homusubi’s long-planned plot, but Homusubi knows better than anyone that she had no intention of doing such a thing… What’s going on is wholly unintentional and beyond her or anybody else’s control.
In fact, anyone who witnesses this combat will find it unusual…
Aside from the conflict between the two Susano’o, the two pairs of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan are also engaged in combat.
Both sets of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan have approximately equal visual prowess… making it difficult to choose between the victor and defeated party at the same time.
As a result, the Yin-Yang chakra, which is the ritual’s primary product, has become the decisive element.
The Yin-Yang chakra is responsible for Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan’s transformation into Rinnegan… As a result, it is reasonable to conclude that the conflict will be won by whoever absorbs the most Yin-Yang chakra and wakes the Rinnegan.
Because of this, both Danzo and Homusubi are giving it their all and putting in increasing amounts of effort to absorb the Yin-Yang chakra…
Not only the two of them were trying their hardest, but their eyes were as well…
Both Homusubi and Danzo, who are currently engaged in combat, have had firsthand experience with this.
As a result, rather than one vs one, this may be described as a two vs two battle.
This, however, is an issue…
Both Homusubi and Danzo were apprehensive about the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan’s alive features.
In Homusubi’s view, the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is not hers; she got it from Uchiha Ryota…
And, while not identical, Danzo’s situation is fairly comparable…
As a result, neither Homusubi nor Danzo have complete command of their Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
As the eyes’ visual acuity improves, the alive qualities become more apparent, which could be a significant dilemma for both of them.
But putting that aside for now, as the conflict progressed, the odds began to favor Homusubi.
She had more expertise and knowledge with Sharingan than Danzo, and as a result, she was able to quickly dominate Danzo in battle.
“This…?! How is this even possible?” Danzo muttered in shock and wonder.
Everything was unfolding right in front of Danzo’s eyes, but he couldn’t believe what he was seeing…
He is still losing to some Uchiha after awakening a Dojutsu that is a rank higher than the Mangekyou Sharingan…
His dojutsu should have been the strongest in the world, yet he’s losing to a Uchiha Homusubi in the confrontation of visual prowess…!
