Naruto: The Ninja World's Life Buyer

Chapter 222 The Deformed Susanoo, The Future Shifts Again

The night was as dark as ink, and the rain poured down.

Uchiha clan territory, basement of Naga Shrine.

This is a secret chamber that only members of the clan who have awakened the Sharingan can enter, and there are only two people here at the moment.

Uchiha Souji and Uchiha Hachiho.

"Senior Hachishiro, what urgent matter has brought you here so late?"

Zongji looked somewhat tired. He had just returned from the arsenal and still smelled of iron filings.

Yatsushiro had his back to him.

"Sōji".

Yatsushiro's voice was deep.

Do you think the Uchiha clan now is still the same Uchiha clan?

"Of course."

Zongsi frowned.

"We are richer and more united than before, and we are no longer in danger of extinction."

"rich?"

Yashiro suddenly turned around. His eyes were bloodshot, and the three tomoe spun wildly.

"We've become the merchants' lackeys! We've become tools of production!"

"Today, I am on patrol at Takaya Manor."

Eight generations gritted their teeth.

"I saw Princess Enna. She asked me, 'Where is the glory of the Uchiha?'"

"I can't answer that."

"Sōji, did you know? The new power distribution list for Konoha has been released."

Yashiro took out a piece of intelligence and slammed it to the ground.

"The advisors are Tsunade and Jiraiya. The head of the Anbu is Sakumo. Even the medical department is controlled by that woman named Nonou."

"And what about us?"

"What power do we have besides money?!"

"The law enforcement authority of the security forces is a complete joke!"

Soji remained silent. Of course he knew all this.

After Orochimaru came to power, he was polite to the Uchiha clan out of respect for Sousuke, and even allowed them to stop going to the front lines and recuperate.

But in reality, they have been secretly limiting the expansion of the Uchiha's power.

This wasn't specifically targeting the Uchiha clan. Orochimaru restricted every powerful clan equally, while promoting many commoner ninjas and those from smaller families.

This is the instinct of a shadow. No shadow would allow a large family to grow too powerful.

"So what do you want?" Soji asked.

"We must fight for what belongs to us."

The eighth generation has taken a step closer.

"One of the advisory positions must be held by an Uchiha!"

"Tomorrow is the final vote meeting for the Jonin Team."

"I want you to take your clan to the Hokage Building. If they don't give it to you—"

A hint of madness flashed in Yashiro's eyes.

"Then let them see the wrath of the Uchiha."

"No!"

Zongsi resolutely refused.

"That's a rebellion!"

"We simply don't have the leverage to turn against Orochimaru right now!"

"Furthermore, Mr. Takaya said—"

"It's Mr. Takaya again!"

Yashiro roared, interrupting him.

"You've been brainwashed by him! You coward!"

"Since you don't dare to do it, then I'll do it myself."

Yatsushiro turned and left.

"stop!"

Sōji awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The powerful eye force locked onto the Eighth Generation.

"Yashiro-senpai, don't push me."

Zongsi's voice turned cold.

"For the sake of the family's survival, I will not allow anyone to disrupt the current situation."

The eighth generation's steps came to a halt.

He was trembling. Not from fear, but from grief.

The clan patriarch, a powerful figure with a kaleidoscope, actually used his eye technique on him, an elder, in order to maintain a false peace.

"Good—very good."

Yashiro closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"You are the clan leader. I will listen to you."

He turned around, the red light in his eyes fading, revealing his dark eyes again.

"I will not cause trouble at the Hokage Building."

"But, Munechika, remember this."

"When that merchant no longer needs us, or when Konoha decides to completely eliminate us—"

"The money in your hand cannot buy back the lives of your people."

The eighth generation has passed away.

His back was hunched, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

Souji watched him leave and then deactivated the kaleidoscope.

"I did it too—for the lives of my people."

He sighed in the darkness.

half a month later.

The night of the full moon.

But the full moon, obscured by thick dark clouds, appeared blood-red.

Mikoto's mansion. Brightly lit.

"ah"

Mikoto's painful cries could be heard from the delivery room.

She's about to give birth.

Sosuke stood in the courtyard, his expression serious.

Nono, the attending physician, is delivering the baby inside.

The elite guards surrounded the courtyard completely.

The chief priest personally led the team and stood guard at the main gate.

"Wow"

Finally, a loud cry of a baby pierced the night sky.

gave birth.

"It's a boy!"

Nonou pushed open the door and called out with a joyful expression.

"Mother and child are safe!"

Sosuke breathed a sigh of relief.

A smile appeared on Soji's face.

"Very good----"

Just the moment everyone relaxed their guard.

"boom!!!"

At the other end of the village, in the direction of the Uchiha Armory, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted.

Flames shot into the sky, illuminating half of the night sky.

"What's going on?!"

The chief priest was greatly alarmed.

"Reporting to the clan chief! The arsenal is on fire! The fire is large and may have spread to the gunpowder depot!"

A member of the tribe rushed in.

"Damn it!"

Zongsi's face turned ashen.

The arsenal is the Uchiha clan's lifeline. If it's destroyed, not only will the property damage be devastating, but it will also lead to accountability from the village.

"First squad, second squad, come with me to put out the fire!"

Without hesitation, the chief priest immediately gave the order.

"The rest of you, defend the mansion to the death!"

He glanced at Sosuke.

"Mr. Sosuke, please take care of this!"

"Go."

Sosuke nodded.

Zongsi left with a large number of men.

The number of guards in the courtyard instantly decreased by half.

Sosuke frowned as he looked at the towering flames in the distance.

Something's not right.

"A fire at this time? What a coincidence."

His left eye darted wildly under the blindfold, but he didn't notice any enemies approaching.

But he trusted his intuition. This was a diversionary tactic.

"Everyone."

Zongsuke gave a low drink.

"Level 1 alert. Enemies may be present."

Before he could finish speaking...

"brush!"

A dark figure, like a ghost, scaled the backyard wall and entered.

There was no concealment, no stealth.

That person released their chakra directly.

Violent, chilling, and even tinged with—an ominous blackness.

"The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha?!"

Upon seeing who it was, Sousuke's pupils contracted slightly.

Yashiro was dressed in combat gear and carried a long sword. The three tomoe in his eyes had merged into one.

"Hand over the child."

Yashiro's voice was hoarse, and his face was expressionless.

"Yashiro-senpai! What do you think you're doing?!"

"The guard squad leader who stayed behind shouted angrily."

"That's Lord Fugaku's child!"

"It is precisely because he is Lord Fugaku's child that I must take him away!"

Yatsushiro drew his long sword.

"You bunch of good-for-nothings, you don't deserve to raise him!"

"Stop him!"

A dozen or so Uchiha clan members rushed forward.

"Get out of here!"

Yashiro roared in anger.

His eyes changed.

The three tomoe suddenly elongated and twisted, transforming into a bizarre pattern.

Kaleidoscope Sharingan!

"Susanoo!"

boom!

A burst of dark purple chakra erupted from his body. However, this chakra was not pure; it was mixed with black impurities and was extremely unstable.

A huge skeleton bust took shape around him.

But this Susanoo is deformed.

Its ribs were jagged, one arm was unusually large, while the other was shriveled and short. Its head was not that of a majestic celestial dog, but a twisted skull.

"How is this possible—he also activated the Kaleidoscope?!"

Sosuke was shocked.

He hadn't expected that this radical elder was so well hidden.

No, that's not right.

The snake's eyes saw through the truth. Those eyes—the flow of chakra was somewhat sluggish.

"Those are—Chief Fugaku's eyes?!"

The Uchiha were stunned. They recognized that eye power.

"Yashiro! Have you gone mad?! You actually—stole Chief Fugaku's eyes?!"

A Jonin roared.

"This is betrayal!"

"betray?"

Eight generations of maniacal laughter.

"I'm saving my family!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The deformed Susanoo swung its massive arm. A dozen or so Uchiha clansmen were swatted away like flies.

"Do you see that? This is the true power of the Uchiha!"

Laughing wildly, Yashiro walked step by step toward the delivery room.

Blood was flowing from his eyes. A steady stream of bloody tears streamed down his cheeks, making him look like a hideous demon.

That's because his own eye power couldn't perfectly match the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Sosuke looked at the deformed Susanoo and felt extremely troubled.

"Forcibly transplanting a kaleidoscope—that's insane."

"Takaya Sosuke!"

Yashiro looked at Sousuke.

His eyes were filled with hatred.

"It's you—you're the one who turned the Uchiha clan into what they are now! You're the one who made us lose our fangs and turn us into pigs who only know how to make money!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

Susanoo raised a giant sword made of chakra and slashed down fiercely.

This sword strike is enough to split the entire house in two.

Sosuke couldn't dodge it. But he didn't panic.

"Victory!"

Sousuke shouted loudly.

"clear!"

Hyuga Katsu emerged from the shadows.

His shirt instantly ripped apart.

"Bone Release: Shield!"

Countless enormous grayish-brown bone spikes grew wildly from the ground, intertwining above his head to form a thick bone shield.

This is the strongest bone shield, combining the power of Kaguya, Senju, and Uzumaki.

"when!!!"

The greatsword struck the bone shield.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the shockwave cracked the surrounding land.

The bone shield developed cracks, but did not shatter.

It's blocked!

"What?!"

The eighth generation was shocked.

What kind of ability is this that can block Susanoo? Is this still Hyuga?

"Your Susanoo—is too ethereal."

Hyuga Katsu said coldly.

"court death!"

Yatsushiro was enraged.

His eyes bled again. His pupils were exhausted.

"Amaterasu!"

Black flames ignited on the bone shield.

That was an inextinguishable black flame.

"Zzzzzzz"

The bone shield began to burn through.

"It's Amaterasu—!"

Sosuke squinted.

He put on the black glove with the red sealing spell drawn on it. From the scroll, he drew a knife.

【Hungry Ghost - Bone Eater】.

The blade sensed Amaterasu's immense chakra and emitted a trembling sound of longing.

"Eat."

Sousuke swung his sword, aiming it at the burning bone shield.

"Gurgle————"

A bizarre scene unfolded.

The sword wasn't destroyed by the Amaterasu black flames. On the contrary, the flesh and tissue on the sword writhed wildly, like tiny mouths, beginning to devour the black flames!

Amaterasu is an advanced product of chakra form transformation.

Honebami is a monster that feeds on chakra.

Soon, Honebami converted Amaterasu's black flames into its own nourishment.

"How is that possible—"

Yatsushiro was stunned.

You can even eat Amaterasu?

"Your eyes were stolen."

Sousuke, holding the Honebami engulfed in black flames, walked step by step toward Yashiro.

"It's simply impossible to perfectly control this power—"

"superior!"

Hyuga Katsu made his move again.

He launched a frontal assault, his Steel-Gentle Fist striking Susanoo's joints. The power of the Perfect Sage Body was terrifying, directly causing cracks to appear in Susanoo.

"Wow!"

The eighth generation coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He was far too unfamiliar with controlling the kaleidoscope. Moreover, his body simply couldn't withstand such strain.

Susanoo began to flicker, a sign of insufficient chakra.

"Damn it—damn it!!!"

Even though they possess the power of gods, why can't they defeat these mortals?

Should he give up now? He was unwilling.

Yashiro looked into the room. His eyes were extremely crazed and extremely determined.

"That child—"

"That's Fugaku's child—that's the Uchiha's last hope—"

"We can't let him stay here! We can't let him become a second Shogun!"

Yashiro made a crazy decision.

He released Susanoo.

Concentrate all remaining pupil power into the right eye.

"Izanagi!"

He rushed into the delivery room without a care in the world. He let Hyuga Masaru's fist break his ribs and let Sousuke's Bone Eater pierce his body.

He used Izanagi to rewrite the reality of being "injured" and forcefully rushed to the delivery room door.

"Nonoyu, be careful!" Sousuke yelled.

Yatsushiro smashed through the paper door.

Inside the room, Mikoto lay weakly on the bed.

Nonou was holding her newborn baby, ready and waiting. A chakra scalpel had already materialized in her hand.

Give me the child!

The eighth generation had blood streaming from his eyes and a ferocious expression.

Ignoring the chakra scalpel that had been slit in his throat, he rushed forward and snatched the baby from Nonou's arms.

The effects of Izanagi are still present.

Nono had no idea that the other person, whose throat had been cut, would still be able to move.

She was kicked away by Yashiro.

"This child—is mine!"

Yashiro looked at the baby in his arms.

It was a very quiet baby boy. Even after being taken away, he didn't cry. He just stared at the blood-soaked person in front of him with his big, bright black eyes.

There was actually a hint of calm in his eyes.

"As expected—he's a genius."

Eight generations of maniacal laughter.

"I will take you away. I will teach you what a true Uchiha is!"

"Goodbye, Takaya Sosuke!"

The eighth generation performs a hand seal with one hand.

"Reverse Spirit Communication Technique!"

"Bang!"

A puff of white smoke.

Yatsushiro disappeared with his child.

Sosuke rushed into the room, but couldn't grab him in time.

"Damn it—"

Sosuke's face turned ashen.

He had planned everything meticulously, but he never expected that the Eighth Generation would use the forbidden technique Izanagi to snatch the child.

Moreover, he didn't steal from anyone else.

It's Uchiha Itachi.

Mikoto struggled to get up on the bed, but fell down helplessly.

"My child—the weasel—"

She couldn't believe it.

Sosuke stood still, clenching his fists.

History has shifted again.

Itachi was taken away.

It was taken away by an extreme conservative.
