Born with a great love for the Uchiha

'What powerful ocular power! The Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan! It's breathtaking!'

Orochimaru moved his hands with difficulty, attempting to form hand seals to dispel the genjutsu.

But how could Uchiha Shisui possibly give him that opportunity?

Body Flicker Technique!

In the blink of an eye.

Uchiha Shisui appeared in front of Orochimaru, the silver blade of his kodachi drawing a cold arc in the air, aiming straight for Orochimaru's neck!

Orochimaru's snake eyes instantly shrank to the size of a pinhead.

A life-or-death situation.

Orochimaru unleashed all his power, desperately trying to break free from Uchiha Shisui's genjutsu restraints, his body forcibly twisting to the side.

They avoided it.

But it wasn't completely avoided.

puff-

The sound of a blade slicing through flesh rang out.

Uchiha Shisui's katana cut into Orochimaru's left shoulder, then slashed downwards, diagonally across his entire torso, until it exited from his right waist.

Orochimaru's body was forcibly cut in two!

The upper and lower body were separated, and blood gushed out from the cut like a fountain.

"Hehe...hehehe..."

However, Orochimaru let out a low laugh. His severed upper body fell to the ground, his mouth opened, and a pair of arms extended from his mouth.

Then there's a head.

Then comes the torso.

Then come the legs.

A completely new Orochimaru, covered in slime, emerged from the broken body.

Orochi-style Substitution Technique!

molt!

Run away!

Without the slightest hesitation, Orochimaru, who had just crawled out of his old body, immediately activated Earth Release ninjutsu, burrowed deep into the earth, and fled into the distance without looking back.

Uchiha Shisui frowned as he looked at Orochimaru's shriveled "corpse".

He stepped forward and kicked aside the snake-like "corpse," only to find a hole in the ground.

Orochimaru ran away!

"That's... way too fast!"

Uchiha Shisui closed his Mangekyou Sharingan, looked down at the small dachi in his hand covered in slime, and showed a disgusted expression.

"This technique... is disgusting."

Just as Uchiha Shisui was about to sheath his sword.

An unusual chakra fluctuation suddenly came from behind.

Uchiha Shisui suddenly turned around and saw a scene he couldn't believe.

Danzo Shimura.

Danzo Shimura, who had just been crushed to death by Genji's Susanoo, was now standing unharmed on the ground not far away.

There wasn't a single wound on his body, his clothes were spotless, and there wasn't even a drop of blood on them.

It was as if the battle had never happened.

"Izanagi!"

Looking at the resurrected Shimura Danzo, Gen Uchiha's crimson three-tomoe Sharingan eyes revealed a knowing look.

"A forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan, at the cost of sacrificing the light of one Sharingan, transforms unfavorable realities into dreams for a certain period of time, while simultaneously transforming favorable dreams into reality..."

"I'm very curious, Shimura Danzo, where did you, a ninja of the Shimura clan, learn the forbidden techniques of the Uchiha clan?"

As for the origin of Shimura Danzo's Sharingan...

Uchiha Gen didn't even ask.

As a high-ranking elder of Konoha, given Danzo Shimura's position, he could easily assign a few tasks, mobilize Uchiha clan ninjas to carry them out, and then assassinate or steal eyes...

It's so simple.

Danzo Shimura had absolutely no intention of answering Gen Uchiha's question.

The intense shock still lingered in his mind.

Three tomoe!

Three tomoe open Susanoo!?

What kind of monster is this?!

Danzo Shimura lived for over sixty years and witnessed countless brilliant and talented ninjas.

He had seen Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique, Hiruzen Sarutobi's Five Elements Great Combo, and Minato Namikaze's Yellow Flash...

But he had never seen it before—

Three-Tomoe Susanoo!

This is something even Madara Uchiha couldn't do!

'What's going on with this Uchiha brat?'

Danzo Shimura's heart was churning with turbulent emotions.

But he knew that now was not the time to think about these issues.

He must destroy Gen Uchiha's Susanoo!

Otherwise, he has absolutely no chance of winning!

Shimura Danzo rapidly formed hand seals and then slammed his palm onto the ground.

"Spiritual communication!"

bang——

A huge plume of smoke rose into the air.

A huge, strange creature emerged from the smoke.

It has a huge body similar to an elephant, but its mouth is long and tubular like some kind of anteater, and its whole body is covered with hard, grayish-brown skin.

Baku!

Danzo Shimura's exclusive summoning beast!

"Dream Eater! Devour him!"

Danzo Shimura shouted sternly.

The Baku opened its enormous tubular mouth, and a terrifying suction force suddenly erupted.

The wind howled, sand and gravel flew, and everything around was pulled by the suction force towards the mouth of the dream tapir.

however.

"Isn't it just a summoned beast?"

Uchiha Gen stood inside the skeleton of Susanoo, arms crossed, and gave a soft shout.

"Yatagara!"

"Ka-"

A loud cry echoed from the sky.

Yatagarasu, who had been watching from the sidelines, flapped its wings, and hundreds of Amaterasu feathers rained down like a storm.

aims.

It was that dream-eating tapir with its mouth wide open!

The Baku had no time to react.

It was releasing its suction power to devour everything around it, never expecting an attack to descend from the sky.

The feathers burning with jet-black flames were drawn in by the suction and flew into the Baku's mouth at an even faster speed.

"Waaah—"

The dream-eating tapir let out a mournful cry.

Black flames began to burn from inside its mouth and quickly spread to its entire head.

The dream-eater frantically shook its head, trying to extinguish the flames.

But this is the fire of Amaterasu!

The black flames burned ever brighter, spreading from the head to the neck, from the neck to the torso, and from the torso to the limbs—

In just a few breaths.

The enormous Baku was completely devoured by the Amaterasu Black Flame, transforming into a giant black torch.

Danzo Shimura was not spared either.

He was too close to the Baku.

"Ahhhh-"

Danzo Shimura let out a painful howl as black flames ignited from his robes and quickly spread throughout his body.

He frantically patted the flames off his body, but it was no use.

The fire of Amaterasu will not be extinguished until it has burned the target to ashes.
