Chapter 206 Reappearance
Hyuga Kanan stood there, silently gazing at Uchiha Shisui. Although the two were not far apart, he sensed a strong fighting spirit emanating from him. Uchiha Shisui's face revealed an extremely resolute expression, his eyes exceptionally firm, as if burning with endless fighting will.
Hyuga Kanan knew in his heart that his opponent had no intention of giving up the fight. Judging from Uchiha Shisui's aura, he was prepared to fight to the death. Faced with such an enemy, Hyuga Kanan originally didn't want to continue the fight, but now he had to reassess the situation.
Uchiha Shisui launched attack after attack, each strike aimed directly at vital points. Clearly, Uchiha Shisui had no intention of peaceful coexistence. More importantly, his relentless, death-defying attitude made Hyuga Kanan realize that if he didn't take decisive action to resolve this problem, it might bring him more trouble in the future, and even waste a lot of precious time.
Thinking this, a cold glint flashed in Hyuga Kanan's eyes. He decided to stop hesitating and unleash his true power to deliver a fatal blow to Uchiha Shisui. Only in this way could he completely eliminate the threat and ensure that no more trouble would come looking for him.
At this moment, Uchiha Shisui disregarded everything else. He focused all his chakra on his eyes, and the pattern of his Mangekyou Sharingan began to spin rapidly. Immediately afterward, countless streams of green chakra surged around him, flowing continuously into the Mangekyou Sharingan and condensing into massive skeletons that tightly enveloped his body. As time passed, these skeletons grew larger and larger, eventually forming a green humanoid skeleton nearly twenty or thirty meters tall, completely enveloping Uchiha Shisui.
This was the first time Uchiha Shisui had used the special abilities that came with the Mangekyou Sharingan, and the immense power gave him unprecedented confidence. However, he was also acutely aware of the enormous drain this power placed on his body and eyes. Therefore, he knew he had to act swiftly and end the battle as soon as possible.
The massive commotion near the Hyuga clan's territory had already alerted the Hyuga clan, who were on high alert. Hyuga Hiashi, the clan head, rushed over at lightning speed to investigate. However, before he could even get close, he witnessed the formation of a green humanoid skeleton twenty or thirty meters tall. Unable to contain his astonishment any longer, he activated his Byakugan without hesitation, intently observing the situation. When he saw Uchiha Shisui dressed in Anbu attire within the green skeleton, a chill ran down his spine. He knew perfectly well that Uchiha Shisui was a direct subordinate of Hiruzen Sarutobi's Anbu, but this was the first time he had learned of the immense power Shisui possessed.
"So this is the legendary Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan? Just as the clan records say, it possesses unparalleled power and might." Hiashi Hyuga clicked his tongue inwardly, a hint of amazement in his eyes. He gazed silently at the mysterious and powerful eyes before him, as if he could feel the boundless power contained within them.
However, while marveling at this, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness. He knew all too well the pain and conflict Fugaku Uchiha was experiencing. Such a powerful clansman had become Hiruzen Sarutobi's subordinate, completely obeying his orders. This situation undoubtedly caused Fugaku Uchiha immense heartache.
Recalling the numerous communications and negotiations he had conducted with Fugaku Uchiha over this period, Hiashi Hyuga felt a deep sense of powerlessness. They had worked tirelessly to forge an alliance between the two clans to jointly address potential future challenges. Although the alliance had been largely finalized, the emergence of such a powerful figure within the Uchiha clan had complicated the situation considerably.
Hiashi Hyuga understood that this clansman with the Mangekyou Sharingan would have a tremendous impact on the entire Hidden Leaf Village. His appearance might disrupt the existing balance, triggering a new round of power struggles and conflicts. For the Hyuga clan, finding their place in this turbulent upheaval would be a severe test.
Faced with the current situation, Hiashi Hyuga fell into deep thought. He knew he had to think calmly, weigh the pros and cons, and formulate the most suitable strategy. Only in this way could he ensure that the Hyuga clan would remain invincible in this unpredictable era.
But when Hiashi's gaze turned to the figure of his enemy fiercely clashing with Uchiha Shisui, his eyes widened suddenly, as if about to pop out of their sockets. He quickly focused his attention, observing carefully. When he clearly saw the other person's appearance and the pair of pale white pupils within their sockets, he couldn't help but let out a helpless, bitter smile. Although he hadn't seen this person for many years, their appearance hadn't changed much, and coupled with the Byakugan, a feature unique to the Hyuga clan, these characteristics clearly indicated the other person's identity—Hyuga Kanan.
"No wonder there was such a commotion! Uchiha Shisui was actually forced to use his Mangekyou Sharingan!" Hyuga Hiashi stopped in his tracks, no longer approaching the battlefield. He pondered to himself: Regarding Hyuga Kanan's strength, he had only witnessed a portion of it many years ago. As for how strong he was now, Hyuga Hiashi didn't know, but he was very certain that the opponent's strength was absolutely extraordinary. After all, to be able to defeat the massive army of over 5000 ninja from Kumogakure single-handedly, and to remain unscathed, clearly demonstrated that his strength far exceeded what he could imagine or comprehend.
Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo caused such a commotion that it attracted the attention of countless Konoha clans and ninjas. Numerous figures quickly emerged from the shadows surrounding the battlefield, silently observing the situation. They needed to understand what was happening in Konoha, as it concerned the future political landscape of the village.
The most excited of all were the Uchiha clan! When they saw the enormous skull radiating an eerie green light, they already guessed what kind of technique it was. After all, when it came to understanding and familiarity with the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Uchiha clan was second to none! However, when they realized that the figure within the giant skull was Uchiha Shisui, a chill ran down the spines of countless Uchiha clan members.
The Uchiha clan now harbors a complex mix of love and hate towards this unparalleled genius. They poured countless resources and effort into nurturing him, only to find he would become Hiruzen Sarutobi's loyal subordinate, obeying his every word. Even the clan head couldn't sway him. What's more heartbreaking is that he seems possessed, completely biased towards the Konoha leadership, oblivious to the clan's predicaments, and even believing them to be the clan's fault.
Hidden in a dark corner, Shimura Danzo witnessed this scene, his face revealing an intensely greedy expression. He thought to himself, "I saw this technique with my own eyes back then! It was thanks to its protection that I was able to return to Konoha alive… That unparalleled power is still unforgettable!" At this moment, his eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment—he never expected that another member of the Uchiha clan would awaken such terrifying power, and that it would be controlled by Hiruzen Sarutobi! How could he not be filled with envy?
At that very moment, Uchiha Shisui unleashed his ultimate technique without hesitation. He manipulated the massive skeleton, swinging its enormous arm with a suffocating pressure, and slammed it directly towards Hyuga Kanan! Simultaneously, his sharp Sharingan locked onto Hyuga Kanan's figure, as if trying to see through his body to everything. He knew that although this attack was incredibly powerful, Hyuga Kanan, with his strength, would easily dodge it. Therefore, he had to concentrate fully, carefully observing every subtle movement of his opponent to be fully prepared for the upcoming attack.
However, faced with such a fierce attack, Hyuga Kanan merely smiled slightly, revealing a hint of disdain. Uchiha Shisui actually naively thought such a move could intimidate him? What a joke! He secretly scoffed, "The Uchiha clan, always so arrogant and conceited." Indeed, for Hyuga Kanan, who possessed immense strength, the attack before him was nothing more than a piece of cake.
Hyuga Kanan waved his hand, and a golden barrier appeared around his body, blocking the giant skeletal arm that was swinging towards him, creating a huge impact. The giant skeletal arm was directly deflected, and the giant skeleton conjured by Uchiha Shisui was also deflected back, carving a huge trench in the ground.
But it was far from over. The golden barrier instantly transformed into countless enormous spears, which, with a wave of Hyuga Kanan's hand, charged straight at the giant skeleton. The golden spears, carrying immense power and penetrating force, shattered the green bones the moment they touched the 'Susanoo,' piercing through the entire skeleton and pinning it to the ground.
The instant the skeletal figure was shattered, Uchiha Shisui collapsed to his knees as if struck by a devastating blow, coughing up a mouthful of warm, scarlet blood! The blood splattered on the ground like a blood flower blooming in the darkness, a horrifying sight. Clearly, the earth-shattering, overwhelming attack had severely injured him, leaving him mortally wounded. He had always been confident in the absolute defensive capabilities of his Mangekyou Sharingan, but now, this seemingly impenetrable defense had crumbled and vanished in an instant!
