Naruto: The Fall of the Uchiha - Chapter 57
Indeed!
The power of Izanagi is undoubtedly formidable, but it cannot eliminate the massive disparity between an ordinary shinobi and the towering force of Susanoo!
And Uchiha Jin is not like Sasuke from the original story, who would start gasping for breath after just three minutes. He can maintain this magnificent form for as long as needed.
Yes!
Though he doesn’t feel any qualitative change in the power of his Mangekyo Sharingan and is unsure if this counts as the so-called Eternal Mangekyo, Uchiha Jin knows well that he’s different from those like Shisui and Fugaku, who would be utterly drained after using their abilities.
Unlike the typical Mangekyo users who need a cooldown period and suffer permanent damage, Uchiha Jin’s Mangekyo can continuously regenerate its power.
When he merged his first pair of Sharingan, Jin understood that the eyes were merely vessels. The essence of the kekkei genkai lies in a unique form of advanced chakra.
Merging the Sharingan doesn’t mean physically combining two eyes but absorbing the essence within them to enhance one’s own.
Thus.
Having already absorbed multiple pairs of Sharingan, Jin’s inherent ocular power far surpasses an ordinary Uchiha’s. The quantity didn’t trigger a qualitative change until now, making him merely a prodigious genius with superior genjutsu and dynamic vision.
But Shisui’s Mangekyo is different!
If the power of a normal Sharingan is like a vapor, then absorbing the essence of a Mangekyo Sharingan is like touching a millennia-old glacier.
The vapor condenses into water droplets, which freeze upon contact with the glacier, creating the immense power needed to drive the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Ordinary Mangekyo users have powerful essences but cannot draw energy directly from the external world, necessitating massive extraction of the host’s physical and mental energy.
While Mangekyo users gain significant strength, they cannot withstand such intense extraction for long.
In contrast.
Jin’s already formidable inherent ocular power merged with Shisui’s essence, creating a mighty new Mangekyo Sharingan.
Eternal Mangekyo Barbie?
Or Mangekyo Promax?
Jin has never seen a true Eternal Mangekyo, but he is unsure how to define his eyes.
But regardless!
As long as these Mangekyo eyes can autonomously absorb power from the void, even if not at a rapid rate, it’s enough for Jin to crush the escaping Shimura Danzo thoroughly!
And Izanagi?
Without wanting Danzo to experience true despair, Jin wouldn’t have allowed him to use it with his Mangekyo ability, “Izanami Yakan.”
I want to give you hope only to shatter it repeatedly until you lose all hope and are cast into an eternal abyss.
Now!
The blood-red hand of Susanoo held Danzo firmly, rubbing him against the ground, dragging him slowly past the terrified and avenged shinobi.
Yes.
Initially, most of the ninja clans and shinobi might have felt some pity seeing Danzo obliterated, as he was considered a necessary evil for Konoha. But Danzo’s recent actions had crossed every line for these clans.
Don’t be fooled that Danzo’s arm only showed traces of Senju and Uchiha clans. The experiments behind this must have involved numerous inhumane acts, which these proud bloodline clans could easily deduce.
Moreover!
The defection of Orochimaru is still fresh, and it’s not hard to connect the dots about what happened, considering many of their clan members were sacrificed in the process.
Every time Danzo claimed heavy losses for his Root division and demanded more recruits from their bloodline clans…
Danzo, you damn well deserve this!
Feeling the hate-filled gazes from all around, Danzo was engulfed in despair. He had hoped to escape Konoha, rebuild his strength, and one day rise to the Hokage’s position, fulfilling his ambitions.
But now…
With his grotesque right arm exposed, Danzo knew he had lost all support from the clans. No matter how far he might go, the Hokage position was forever beyond his reach.
Just thinking about this brought him excruciating pain, worse than any physical torture. This mental torment left him utterly powerless.
No!
I still have a chance. As long as I live, I can become Hokage… *bleurgh*
The intensified grinding nearly shattered his ability to think. But suddenly, he felt a familiar, comforting presence.
Danzo looked up to see Hiruzen Sarutobi’s complex expression and instinctively sought his help.
“Hiruzen… save…”
“Danzo…”
Hiruzen instinctively reached out but stopped midway.
“Does the acting Hokage want to save him? Well, it makes sense… after all, the Root was created with your approval…”
“Right, both of you abandoned the Second Hokage’s Shadow Guard. Tsk tsk…”
Jin’s taunting words from above stabbed into Hiruzen’s heart like daggers.
This can’t go on!
Even though he felt a pang of pity for his old friend, Hiruzen knew he had to make a decision. Clenching his outstretched hand into a fist, he delivered a decisive punch.
“Sorry, but I am the Hokage!”
**Boom!**
Though showing signs of age, Hiruzen’s full-powered strike showcased the might of the Third Hokage. With a forceful blow, he shattered Danzo’s head and created a deep crater.
But then, Danzo’s body vanished, and from a distance, his anguished scream echoed once more.
“Hiruzen!”
