Chapter 648: Homusubi’s Excitement

Mangekyou Sharingan’s existence is a well-kept secret in the Shinobi World; even inside the Uchiha Clan, only a few people are aware of it, let alone outside the Uchiha Clan.

As a result, despite Orochimaru and Danzo’s thirst for the power of Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan, none of them is aware of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the ultimate Dojutsu of the Uchiha Clan.

Because Orochimaru is exceedingly vulnerable in front of an Uchiha after the Mangekyou Sharingan is awakened by an Uchiha, so, their research and understanding have been confined to the level of a three-tomoe Sharingan, and they know little to nothing about the Mangekyou Sharingan, let alone the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

But now that Orochimaru has directly experienced Sharingan’s transformation into the Mangekyou Sharingan and from the Mangekyou Sharingan to Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in front of him, he has discovered that Sharingan may evolve again after developing to Mangekyou Sharingan.

This discovery astounded and delighted him considerably.

Unlike Orochimaru, who was startled and happy, Homusubi, who knew more about Sharingan and its latter stages, was concerned at this time.

The problem of soul fusion is Danzo’s major roadblock to completing the ‘Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual.’ Homusubi was certain that Danzo would never be able to get through this stumbling block.

But, thanks to Orochimaru, that barrier has been overcome; although Orochimaru’s way of solving the problem was exceedingly violent and might produce additional problems in the future, the problem was solved for the time being, and this has substantially boosted Danzo’s chances of succeeding in the ritual.

And, given that Danzo has also awoken the Eternal Mangekyou and possesses the Hashirama Cells in his body, along with the five Kekkei Genkai, each representing a Chakra nature, as such, the chances of him achieving Kekkei Mora are no longer zero, which is a major headache for Homusubi!

As Tsukihi was becoming increasingly concerned, she began to see changes in Danzo’s body, and upon noticing these changes, the anxious Tsukihi felt a flicker of hope in her heart.

‘Within Danzo’s flesh, the power of Creation of All Things is growing stronger… Is it conceivable for those eyes to evolve even after they have evolved into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?!’

The process of unification of different Chakra Natures in his body can be seen in the alterations in his eyes… For the time being, it can be assumed that because he has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the level of Yin Chakra in his body has greatly increased, and now that Homusubi has felt an increase in the power of ‘Creation of All Things’ in his body, the Yin and Yang Chakra in his body has begun.

If the current Yin-Yang Chakra nature fusion continues, Danzo’s eyes will most certainly evolve further, and transform from the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to the Rinnegan!

And if Danzo awakens the Rinnegan, he will be qualified to attain Kekkei Mora if all of the prerequisites are completed.

Homusubi’s heart swelled with excitement as she realized this. She is not concerned about the immense problems that will ensue if Danzo achieves Kekkei Mora at this time; rather, she is relieved that achieving Kekkei Mora in this manner is indeed achievable.

This is exemplified by the scene on the ritual altar.

If all of the prerequisites are met, the upgraded ‘Chimera Jutsu’ combined with the ‘Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual’ designed by Orochimaru and her can create real Gods!

Previously, Kuroto had been working tirelessly to achieve Kekkei Mora through ‘Chimera Jutsu,’ but he was always unsure if it was truly attainable! After all, all of his intentions are theoretical, and there hasn’t been a precedent to verify whether or not that theoretical possibility is genuine. As a result, he was constantly worried about whether or not he would be successful.

But now that Kuroto has seen Danzo evolve in front of his eyes, he is convinced that achieving Kekkei Mora through Chimera Jutsu is conceivable!

Because Kuroto possesses the Tenseigan, his chances of succeeding in the ritual are significantly greater!

While Homusubi was relieved and excited, not everyone felt the same way.

As Danzo recovered control over his body, he clenched his teeth in rage and growled, “Orochimaru!”

As he gazed at Orochimaru, his face was filled with anger and murderous purpose.

When confronted with Danzo’s murderous purpose, Orochimaru grinned and remarked, without a hint of fear or anxiety in his eyes, “Danzo… you should be grateful to me… You would have died by now if it hadn’t been for me…”

“What the hell did you do to my body?!!” Danzo exclaimed violently.

“Something that helped you get out of that one-way road to hell!” Orochimaru said, licking his lips with delight.

Danzo’s brows narrowed as he considered Orochimaru’s statements…

And now that he thinks about it, he only regained control of his body after Orochimaru did something…

Despite the fact that Danzo doesn’t fully comprehend what Orochimaru accomplished, it did assist him…

As a result, Danzo kept his cool and said, “Orochimaru… Please assist me in completing this rite successfully… I’ll pardon your mistakes and lavishly reward you if I succeed!”

The strength of Danzo’s soul has increased greatly as a result of the Mangekyou Sharingan’s awakening, and the invasion of Natural Energy via Orochimaru’s Cursed Seal has eroded some parts of the souls of other people in his body. Danzo was able to regain control of his body as a result of these two factors.

But it wasn’t a simple task… His soul hasn’t totally suppressed the other souls that have melded into his body, even now.

He has opted not to pursue the topic precisely because he is at the most vital moment of the ritual.

“Alright,” Orochimaru answered, his grin widening.

As Orochimaru responded, Danzo pressed his hand on the ground, panting violently, and yelled, “Chakra… “I’m in desperate need of more Chakra!”

The more Chakra is necessary to move forward in the ritual process, the more Chakra is required.

Because the eyes in Danzo’s eye sockets have evolved into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the Chakra supply that had previously sufficed is no longer sufficient.

As a result, Danzo’s Chakra requirements have grown, and he now requires more Chakra.

“Hokage-sama, the supply is already at the maximum power…,” Root’s top researcher replied blankly in answer to Danzo’s order. If the supply is not boosted further, the shinobis on the outside will…!”

“Fool!” Danzo interrupted the chief researcher before he could finish his sentence. I am the HOKAGE, the village’s leader! Any sacrifice made in my honor is a sacrifice made in the village’s name… Furthermore, expand the supply right now!”

The principal researcher has no choice but to carry out Danzo’s instructions. He was well aware that doing so would result in a large number of casualties, but he did it nonetheless because it was Danzo-sama’s command!

…

Outside the Volcano.

“Ahhhh….!”

With the abrupt surge in transmission power, several shinobi’s chakra reserves were quickly depleted, resulting in their instant death, startling all other shinobi in the area.

“He passed away…! How come you’re still absorbing his Chakra…?”

“Didn’t you guys say this was merely a demonstration of a new technology?! Then why are people dying here?”

“You scumbags… What the hell are you guys up to?”

The Konoha Shinobi questioned the Root Shinobi after witnessing their colleagues’ terrible demise.

When confronted with the furious and enraged questioning of all the Konoha Shinobi, the patrolling team’s leaders exchanged glances before weaving hand gestures and activating a cursed seal!

The bodies of approximately 1500 shinobis were imprisoned in place as a result of the activation of this new cursed seal, and they were unable to escape the Chakra Transmission Array or take any action in retaliation!

“I apologize for what you people are going through,” the head of the entire patrol squad remarked, looking at the angry and scared faces of over fifteen hundred Konoha Shinobis. “This, however, is all for Hokage-sama… I can only sacrifice you all for his sake!”
