Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

The purple clouds twisted and spun wildly, water mist rose into the air, and even the miasma seemed to deepen.

The sharp vacuum slash traveled through the air, creating ripple-like waves of air that surged toward the sky like a tide.

The Kusanagi sword that shot out from the ground resembled a swimming dragon, extending infinitely as if it wanted to pierce a hole in the sun.

But all of this vanished into nothingness when it encountered that bright red barrier!
Hui Li slightly raised her hands, and the twelve water shuttles behind her were rapidly filling with chakra and accumulating pressure.

A viscous purple sea brewed within his heart, flowing like mercury through his meridians. The purple chakra flowed rapidly, swirling wildly between the complex muscle lines that resembled a circuit board.

Vibrant polygons extended and shaped from the void, the increasingly thickened barrier resembling a perfectly round red diamond, keeping out all factors detrimental to its master.

bang bang bang...

The aura of a katana-like creature arrived first, frantically slashing at the translucent red diamond.

Long, thin scratches immediately appeared on the red outer shell, as if someone were hacking at bulletproof glass with a large knife, but only a few marks could be left on the outermost layer, while the gray glass inside remained completely undamaged.

Ping!
A crisp sound of glass shattering rang out in front of him. The incomparably sharp and extremely resilient Kusanagi Sword arrived from behind, breaking through the outer barrier and then, like a white steel snake, slowly drilling inward through the breach.

Buzz!

The barrier, caught between two forces, shimmered with light as Gray Glass calmly displayed incantations flowing between its muscle lines.

The scratches caused by Danzo's attack disappeared instantly, but the Kusanagi Sword, which seemed to have a life of its own, firmly blocked the crack in the barrier, preventing it from repairing.

blah blah blah...

The ninja shoes left two tracks on the shattered earth. Orochimaru's body was tense, his neck stiff, and the hundreds-of-meters-long Kusanagi sword in his mouth was struggling against the barrier.

Seeing this, Danzo behind him worked even harder, his hand seals changing constantly in front of his chest, his chest bulging instantly!

Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade!

The terrifying wind-style chakra was compressed to its limit, and the semi-transparent vacuum turned into a pure white, forming a giant vacuum cannonball.

hum!
The vacuum cannonball slammed into the red barrier, unleashing astonishing power.

Hui Li, who allowed the two to attack her, frowned slightly.

The diamond-shaped barrier behind him flickered wildly, and cracks of all sizes appeared on his back after being bombarded by the Vacuum Jade. You could even see pale purple chakra flowing through it, like the sap inside a plant.

We've finally broken through that turtle shell!
Danzo's Mangekyou Sharingan keenly detected the cracks in the barrier, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

A ninja's battles revolve around gathering intelligence and countering each move.

The most dangerous time is often the first meeting, when neither party knows anything about the other. If there is the slightest carelessness, it is extremely easy to be killed by secret techniques with unknown information.

Ninety percent of the deaths in the ninja world are due to a lack of information, resulting in being killed at first sight.

Although it's unknown how Hui Li transformed the Mimicry of the Hidden Gate Formation into a protective ninjutsu usable in battle, since it's known information, there must be a way to break it.

The defensive capabilities of the Mimicry of Concealment Technique are not particularly outstanding, at least not comparable to the Four Purple Sun Formation.

After sharing information with Orochimaru, he successfully found a way to deal with the situation.

The key to barrier magic lies in its integrity, or in other words, the internal forces of any structure are evenly distributed when subjected to external forces (such as tension, pressure, and bending forces).

Once a crack or break appears, external force can no longer be evenly distributed and will all be "squeezed" to the very tip of the crack.

The localized stress at this tip will be much greater than in other parts of the object.

The appearance of a breach is equivalent to a "traitor" or a "weak link".

When stress is concentrated at the tip of a fracture and exceeds the material's strength limit, the fracture will expand rapidly, triggering a chain reaction that ultimately leads to the collapse of the entire structure.

For example:

When tearing tape, you first need to make a small opening, then it's easy to tear it all the way through. This small opening is the "break" you create, which guides the path of the crack's expansion.

Based on this principle of physics, their tactics were also determined.

The Kusanagi Sword possesses both sharpness and toughness, making it the key to unlocking the Gray Glass Barrier.

First, the sword tip is used to break through the outer layer of the barrier, and then the undamaged Vajra sword body is stuck inside the barrier to prevent the barrier's automatic repair function.

In this way, a gap was successfully created in the barrier.

The hard polyhedral structure thus became extremely fragile. Next, he used the powerful Vacuum Jade to bombard it from behind, which would shatter the already brittle barrier in one fell swoop!
Click... Click!
The sound of cracking eggshells echoed continuously, and tiny red chakra crystals fell from the sky. The barrier of the Mimicry of the Gate of Concealment Technique finally collapsed!

The red crystal shattered like rain, revealing a slightly surprised gray glass inside.

"Path dependence is a common human trait. The stronger the defensive ninjutsu, the more it will make people lose their vigilance. This is a trap prepared specifically for you, Ashes of the Sun!"

The golden beast eyes reflected a faint red light as Orochimaru, controlling the now unobstructed Kusanagi Sword, unleashed his final, deadly strike.

Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi: Sky Sword!

The clear sword light, like a bolt of lightning, pierced directly at the petite body that had already lost its ability to defend itself, and was about to pierce her heart in the next moment.

Clang!
The ear-piercing sound of metal clashing echoed through the space.

The Kusanagi sword, touted as indestructible, struck Kairi's palm swiftly amidst the hopeful gazes of Danzo and Orochimaru, and could not advance any further.

"what!"

Orochimaru's pupils suddenly contracted, and he thrust the Kusanagi sword into the sky, but he felt that what was there was not a creature flying in the sky with nowhere to hold on, but a towering mountain!

I can't poke it!
The Grass Neck Sword could easily destroy the protective barrier, so why couldn't it even pierce the opponent's palm?

Could it be that the physical body's defenses are stronger than the outer barrier? Orochimaru suddenly realized an extremely terrifying fact.

The defensive barrier they painstakingly broke through might not have been... the opponent's core ninjutsu.

"It seems that the technique of concealing one's identity still needs improvement; it has too many shortcomings."

Creak!
Ash bones grew on the fingertips and palms, rubbing and colliding wildly with the sharp Kusanagi sword, sparking sparks.

Clutching the renowned ninja tool, Hui Li looked at Orochimaru, whose expression had drastically changed, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Her physical defenses weren't particularly strong, at most slightly stronger than the Third Raikage's. Only by donning the Wind and Lightning Armor and the Tailed Beast Cloak could she possibly defend against the Kusanagi Sword's abnormal sharpness.

But the fully evolved Grey Bone's defensive capabilities are much stronger; at least she hasn't found anything that can shatter her bones.

Of course, she also couldn't find anything that could withstand the attacks of the gray bones.

Kaka!

The once clear, gleaming sword blade began to dim, and from the point of contact with the ashes, layers of deathly gray spread across it. The Ashes of Shared Slaughter!
Originating from Kaguya Otsutsuki's bloodline limit, this powerful killing move, which even the Sage of Six Paths did not inherit, has finally shone brightly in the ninja world again after a thousand years.

Just moments ago, the Kusanagi Sword, which had been holding the barrier firmly by virtue of its indestructible nature, began to turn gray inch by inch from its tip, under Orochimaru's shocked gaze.

"vomit!"

Seeing the decaying ashes spreading along the sword, Orochimaru dared not keep it in his mouth any longer and spat it out.

As the hilt fell, the spreading grayness covered it at an extremely fast speed. Before the blade even hit the ground, the hundreds-of-meters-long Kusanagi Sword had already turned into ashes in mid-air.

"The Kusanagi Sword is shattered, shattered!"

Ignoring the pain, Orochimaru carefully sidestepped, avoiding the floating ashes in the air. Having witnessed the horrific state of the Kusanagi Sword, he dared not allow even the slightest trace of this strange power to touch him.

This Kusanagi sword is completely different from ordinary ninja tools.

It is not a ninja tool artificially crafted using chakra metal and cursed seal power, but rather forged from metals that naturally possess special abilities.

It is said that the metal comes from the legendary Flower and Fruit Mountain, and its ability to stretch and shrink freely and its indestructibility are all inherent properties of the metal.

But now, he was turned into a handful of ashes by a ninjutsu he didn't recognize at all!
Orochimaru looked at the girl standing in the sky; her domineering and powerful strength had completely surpassed his understanding.

That feeling was exactly the same as when he first saw Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan!
This is an extremely high-level bloodline limit.

Thinking of Hai Li's bloodline, Orochimaru suddenly realized that Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku might have undergone an even higher level of evolution, and Hai Li was the one who awakened it.

It's too late, but it's soon.

From the combined attack of Orochimaru and Danzo, to the barrier being shattered by Danzo's Wind Release, and then to the Kusanagi Sword turning to ashes and disappearing, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

hum-

The twelve terrifying water shuttles were now fully charged and spinning rapidly. Their beast-like, ferocious vertical pupils opened with a thin slit, each pointing at Orochimaru and Danzo.

laser!
Just like before, a terrifying laser burst forth. Orochimaru once again twisted his body into a strange shape to dodge the attack, while Danzo stood still and let the laser shred him.

no way.

The speed difference is too great.

Even if he could see the laser attacks clearly and barely dodge them, he would still be riddled with holes by the flying sand and dust since he couldn't use earth magic for defense.

Since Izanagi has already been used, it won't hurt to die a few more times before the time runs out.

But as soon as Danzo opened his eyes after being resurrected, a petite figure stood in front of him, her proud, deathly gray eyes looking at him coldly, as if she were looking at a dead man.

"You...wu..."

His eyes widened in terror, and before he could speak, long, slender fingers gripped his neck, lifting him into the air, while a terrifying, deathly gray ash climbed up his neck.

"I really didn't expect you to dare to come back, Danzo-sensei."

With her cold, gray eyes meeting Danzo's narrow gaze, Hairi could see the barely suppressed fear in Danzo's eyes, as well as a certain sense of reliance and relaxation.

"There is no invincible ninjutsu in this world. My barrier is like that, and so is your Izanagi." Hui Li curled the corners of her lips, and the decaying power belonging to Hui Gu continued to spread across Danzo's body.

"Oh, by the way, Ryoma asked me to pass on a message to you..."

"Cough cough..."

Danzo was unable to make a sound at this moment, and as the power of death spread, his whole body began to turn into an eerie gray-white.

"The task you left him has been completed."

"Go well."

Decaying ashes spread along the bridge of Danzo's nose, and the corners of his eyes, which were covered with incantations, turned grayish-white inch by inch. The scarlet Kotoamatsukami slowly turned, but was instantly tainted by the power of death, turning into a strange gray windmill.

call!
A breeze blew.

Wisps of dust flowed from Gray Glass's fingertips and disappeared into the sky with the breeze, along with the composed Shimura Danzo.

Even on his deathbed, he still believed that he could be resurrected by altering reality under the power of Izanagi.

This might just be a case of ignorance is bliss!

Watching the dust swirling in the air disintegrate into a state invisible to the naked eye, Danzo's unconscious soul began to drift away. After Hairi summoned black lightning to blast it apart, he could only sigh in this way.

The ability of the shared-killing gray skeleton is relatively limited.

As the ultimate form of the Corpse Bone Pulse's evolution, it did not acquire any other powers, but instead maximized its offensive and defensive capabilities.

The fully evolved Grey Bone is incredibly hard; even the Kusanagi Sword, which can cut through the Ruyi Jingu Bang, cannot leave a single scratch on it.

Hui Li tried to break it by mobilizing the power of Takamagahara, but even as her own cells began to collapse under the immense force, the gray bones only underwent extremely slight deformation.

This abnormal hardness is completely different from that of physical materials; it is more like a kind of 'rule'. Unless Gray Glass deliberately manipulates its shattering and disintegration, it can be regarded as an 'absolutely indestructible' ultimate material.

At the same time, its offensive capabilities also seem to be a kind of rule-based force.

It can pierce almost anything in the world; beneath those gray, deathly markings, any hard substance becomes as brittle as a biscuit.

Any entity pierced by the ash bones will inevitably be reduced to ashes and completely disintegrate at the molecular level. This process is absolutely irreversible, and even Izanagi could not reverse this power of the rule.

While the Ash Bones of All-Killing Technique may not be as dazzling as the Rinnegan, it has reached its peak in terms of practicality.

And that's not all!
As mentioned before, Takamagahara's power is ever-changing, and she has only been able to develop one percent of its uses at most.

Her tests revealed that the Left Eye Takamagahara's special ability to control the body could create a synergistic effect with the Ash Bones.

Normally, Ash Bones must pierce another person's body to be effective, and the process of condensing Ash Bones consumes a huge amount of chakra. Even Kaguya Otsutsuki could only use it as a killing move.

However, thanks to her control over Takamagahara, Hairi can directly extract the death and decay power contained in the ash bones and allow it to contaminate external objects through contact with the flesh.

This infection is not as deadly as a sting wound, or rather, it is not as fast. As long as the infected part is cut off at the moment of infection, there is still a possibility of survival.

In other words, if she touches you even once, one foot is already in the grave, and the other foot depends on how fast the victim's reaction is.

Unfortunately.

Danzo was too superstitious about the Sharingan's eye techniques and completely ignored her warning.

So he died! (End of Chapter)
