Yoriichi felt a cold sweat pour down his back. So, during the Konoha destruction plan, Tsunade and Jiraiya's sudden return to Konoha, and the sudden appearance of Ryougi... none of this was a coincidence! It was a meticulously planned conspiracy to lure him out and use him as a material to be sacrificed as the vessel for the Sage Body!

No! Yuan started panting heavily and didn't respond to Ada's calls.

Suddenly, Ada's loud laughter echoed from inside the cave, "Uchiha Yoriichi, you're very clever!"

Yoriichi watched the interior with extreme vigilance. During the battle in the plan to destroy Konoha, Ryougi had left the mark of the Seven Star Sword on him. Once he recovered, if the other party had the Amber Purification Bottle, he would be immediately sucked into it. Ada's call to him just now was clearly in preparation for this.

Yoriichi shut himself up, furrowed his brow, and began to unleash his technique once more, and this time...

"Whoosh!" The phantom moved with lightning speed, arriving in front of Ada in an instant. The Kusanagi sword flickered with fire, drifting in the wind. The flames soaked into the air, bringing the temperature of the entire cave to its peak.

Ada's lips curled up slightly, and countless moonlight ribbons wrapped around his entire body. However, Yoriichi's sword slashed straight at Lingyu's position, intending to cut off the restraints on Lingyu's body!

"Clang!" The sword struck the moonlight sash, sparking a violent burst of sparks.

Unexpectedly, Ada used her clairvoyance to predict Yoriichi's attack in advance and used the Moonlight Sash to defend against the feathers.

“It’s no use…” Ada smiled slightly.

But the next second, a streak of sparks shot into Ada's eyes.

This was calculated by Yoriichi; it was the reflection phenomenon that would inevitably occur when the arrow hit the feather!

Suddenly, Ada's figure disappeared. He used some kind of short-range teleportation technique to dodge the attack and came to the corner of the wall. Yuan looked closely and saw three glittering weapons neatly arranged there. From left to right, they were the Seven Star Sword, the Amber Purification Bottle, and the Golden Rope!

Aida reached out a hand toward the Golden Rope, and Yoriichi's eyes widened instantly. The Golden Rope could force out an opponent's catchphrase after the Seven Star Sword had taken away their Word of Power, and then be sealed by the Amber Bottle.

Yoriichi suddenly unleashed a sword aura towards Ada, the aura swirling around the sword and radiating an earth-shattering power!

But countless moonlight ribbons quickly wrapped around Ada's front, blocking the sword energy. The power of the divine magic was terrifying and left no room for negotiation!

Beside Yoriichi, the Moonlight Sash that had been blocking the feathers quickly began to wrap around him. Yoriichi kept dodging, and seeing that Ada was about to get the Golden Rope, he became extremely nervous.

"Deidara!" Yoriichi shouted, his Sharingan flashing with dazzling red light.

The illusion technique, "Shackles," was applied directly to Ada, forcibly pinning her to the spot.

The next second, countless ribbons covered Yoriichi, binding him into a twisted shape.

"Hahahaha! So what if you hit me?" Ada laughed contemptuously, her pupils gleaming with triumph. "As long as I have these eyes, I can do anything!"

"Bang!" Suddenly, Ida heard an explosion.

Deidara transforms into a humanoid C4, rapidly expanding, and unleashes a low-powered version of C4 Garuda into the cave!

"Boom!" Countless golden lights exploded from the black smoke, engulfing Lingyu's body. The Moonlight Cloak was used by Ada to protect herself and capture Yoriichi, while the cloak covering Lingyu's body disappeared completely.

The number of Moonlight Shawls is actually conserved!

"Kenshin, this is art! Do you see it?" Deidara chuckled bitterly, his chakra exhausted to the limit, and collapsed next to Karin.

As the smoke cleared, the bindings on Lingyu's body were forcibly blown off, freeing her from their control. She stood calmly in the distance, groaning softly.

Upon seeing this, Deidara smiled slightly.

He had asked Yoriichi for a long time before he taught him this move, C4 Garuda, and it was taught to him late at night a few days ago. This was the first time he had used it.

Looks like it came in handy after all!

“Master…” Lingyu lowered her eyes, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears.

"Is it really going to come to this?"

"Save Lord Kenshin!" Karin cried out desperately to Lingyu from behind. She helped up the exhausted Deidara, put her hand to Deidara's mouth, and forced him to bite down to regain his strength.

Karin witnessed Yoriichi being tied up and Deidara collapsing, but she was powerless to help...

Karin felt extremely guilty. She looked at Rin with pitiful eyes, but unfortunately she had no power and could only place her hopes on this girl who had just been rescued by Deidara.

"Please help...Lord Kenshin..."

Chapter 69 Cycle

Lingyu remained calm and composed. She clenched her fists, and the Seven Star Sword swiftly flew towards her location.

After using it for a certain period of time, Lingyu infused some of her own chakra into the Seven Star Sword, and she was able to perfectly control this chakra, thus making the Seven Star Sword completely her own weapon.

"Hmph." Ada was temporarily locked in place by the Shackles Technique and could not move. She watched helplessly as the Seven Star Sword flew away, with one hand still stiffly placed a few centimeters away from the Golden Rope.

After receiving the Seven Star Sword, Lingyu looked at Ada with a pang of reluctance.

"Kill him! Otherwise you'll die too!" Deidara, who was lying on the ground, had temporarily regained his breath thanks to Karin's healing, but he was still unable to return to his fighting state.

Lingyu stood there, conflicted. Deidara was right; judging from what had just happened, her beloved master Ada had indeed tried to kill her. He might really have wanted to seize her Sage Mode...

Lingyu felt like crying. If her master wanted her immortal mode, she could have easily given it to him... Why did he have to threaten her with his life?

Suddenly, Lingyu came to her senses and realized that it made sense.

Her master had often told her not to develop feelings for others, so it's normal for him to do this.

Lingyu raised the Seven Star Sword, its tip aimed at Ada, her expression calm yet resolute.

Suddenly, she didn't want to die anymore; her life was no longer just about herself... She suddenly thought of her other mentor, Tsunade. If Ada obtained the Sage Body and Sage Mode, she would definitely attack her...

"Whoosh!" Lingyu's gaze became unwavering. She pushed off the ground with her toes and leaped forward like a fish in a shallow pond, exerting all her strength. At the same time, her agile figure suddenly turned and, to Ada's surprise, stabbed towards the other edge.

She knew it was unlikely that she could break free of the Moonlight Sash and strike Aida directly, so she focused her mind without any distractions and thrust at Aida. Taking advantage of Aida's momentary lapse in attention to Yoriichi, she suddenly changed direction and struck another part of Yoriichi's restraints.

Ling Yu's fair face radiated confidence. She exerted force with both hands, and a green light appeared on her face, which was a sign that the Immortal Mode had been activated!

Unfortunately, despite having only a slight thought, Ada still anticipated Lingyu's attack.

"Clang!" The sword technique of the Seven Star Sword struck the rock-solid Moonlight sash, which remained unmoved.

At this moment, Ada's restraints were lifted, and his withered body straightened up, holding in his hand the golden Six Paths Divine Artifact—the Golden Rope.

"Goodbye." Ada smiled contemptuously, holding the Golden Rope on her body and shaking it slightly. The rope immediately burst into a dazzling light, turning into countless scattered needle-like golden rays that enveloped Yoriichi's body out of thin air.

"Oh no!" Lingyu panicked immediately. If Yoriichi had been absorbed by Ada, then she would have no chance of defeating Ada on her own, and she wouldn't even be able to escape.

But at that moment, the moonlight sash that enveloped Yoriichi began to sway slowly...

A burst of intense light shot out from the sash, and sparks flew from the gaps in the moonlight sash.

When Ada came to her senses again, her body was once again controlled by the Shackles Technique, while Lingyu, holding the Seven Star Sword, was about to slash at her.

"Clang!" The Feather Peak turned around and once again pierced the restraints on Yuan Yi's body, but unsurprisingly, the Seven Star Sword struck the rock-solid Moonlight Cloak.

Ada's eyes widened. The scene before her was truly bizarre; it was clearly the same scene from before!

Just then, Ada's body uncontrollably swung out the Hōkin Rope, wrapping around Yoriichi's body.

"What's going on!" Ada's eyes widened, unable to control her movements, and she could only stare at the moonlight sash surrounding Yoriichi as it slowly swayed.

A moment later, time reset again, and Ada returned to the moment when she was bound by the Shackles.

He understood, he understood completely.

Ada's teeth chattered, and a look of fear crossed her face.

"It's Izanami! I've been poisoned by Izanami!"

Outside the illusion, Yoriichi had successfully escaped from the Moonlight Cloak. Although the Moonlight Cloak had extremely strong binding power, it still could not trap the second stage of the Sage Art: Snake Concealment Technique.

He forcibly plunged his body into a state of Yin and Yang, so that nothing could directly hold onto Yoriichi.

Yoriichi's Sharingan was outlined with a hint of blood red, and his body emitted bursts of red light. Yoriichi looked at Ada, who was now motionless, her body stiff, trapped in some kind of predicament.

This is the Sharingan that Yoriichi sacrificed to transplant into his body, thus completing his control over Aida, namely—Izanami.

While releasing the Jutsu, he secretly activated his body and released Izanami, thus beginning to record Aida's actions.

After a period of time, Ada will fall into a cycle of recorded behavior until he completes the transformation of his mind and no longer desires the immortal body and immortal mode.

Ada still held the Golden Rope in her hand, but she was unable to unleash any moves.

In fact, Yoriichi was also gambling, betting that the time recorded by Izanami would be fast enough that Ada would not be able to use the Hōkinzō.

As it turned out, with everyone's help, he succeeded!

Lingyu stared at Yoriichi with a look of horror. She didn't quite understand why Ada was motionless, but she was sure it was related to Yoriichi.

"What did you do?" Lingyu asked.

"Didn't your master tell you the story of Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke defeating Kabuto Yakushi together?" Yoriichi asked with a smile.

“No…” Lingyu shook her head. “My master only told me one story about Orochimaru and Sasuke possessing the Kusanagi Sword.”

Yoriichi paused slightly, recalling what Lingyu had told him during the Konoha destruction plan. At that time, Lingyu said that the Kusanagi sword only existed in Orochimaru and later in Sasuke's body.

This made Yoriichi blush with shame, and he suspected that the Feather in front of him was a transmigrator. Now that he thought about it, it seemed that Ada had deliberately arranged for the Feather to say this to him in order to mislead him.

Ada understood Yoriichi's personality and knew that Yoriichi would definitely find time to kill Ryou. He was a very smart person, and as it turned out, he made the right bet.

However, Ada was not adequately prepared; he seemed to lack sufficient resistance to illusions.

Even with divine powers at his disposal, he couldn't escape being controlled.

"I used illusion magic to control him." Yoriichi answered Lingyu as concisely as possible, wiping the beads of sweat from his handsome and aloof face, and walked to Ada's side.

Yoriichi glanced at the Golden Rope; one more step and this divine artifact would have taken his life.

Yoriichi reached out, preparing to snatch the golden rope from Ada's body.

Suddenly, his eyes transformed into the shape of a full moon, and a ray of white light appeared in his dark pupils, illuminating a beautiful and exquisite blue moon pattern.

Chapter 70 C4 Garuda

Lingyu immediately realized, "It's the Sea of ​​Destiny!"

A full moon appeared in Yoriichi's eyes. His pupils were dull, filled with endless hesitation, clearly indicating that he had entered a genjutsu.

Ada moved his body, twisting his neck and stretching out his left and right hands. A hint of narrow-minded cunning appeared at the corner of his eyes, and the Blue Moon "Thousand-Mile Eye" under his long eyelashes revealed traces of chakra usage.

Lingyu froze on the spot. Ada hadn't fallen for any illusion at all; he was just acting!

“My good disciple, you are very capable.” Ada suddenly spoke, her words carrying a hidden meaning, her extremely cold tone enveloping Lingyu.

Lingyu's eyes were glazed over, and she suddenly became at a loss. Her slender fingers turned white, and the Seven Star Sword trembled incessantly.

“It’s over.” Ada flipped her elbow and made a grasping motion, and glittering moonlight ribbons continuously gathered in her hand. Their number slowly increased, emitting a snow-white glow.

"Lord Kenshin..." Karin crouched down, pinned Deidara against the wall, and charged forward alone.
