Naruto: The Fall of the Uchiha - Chapter 60
Despair!
Accompanied by splashes of crimson blood, everyone could feel the despair that enveloped Danzo in his final moments!
Unfortunately, this time, Danzo could no longer phase out and revive. His broken body had wholly lost its life force.
Standing before the remains, Uchiha Jin’s face shifted from a mocking expression to a satisfied smile. While everyone else was still lamenting Danzo’s demise, Jin slowly raised his right hand.
“Yomotsu Hirasaka, Creation!”
As Jin silently chanted in his heart, the Mangekyo Sharingan’s calmed-down power boiled again, swirling chaotically around him.
The intense use of this power, which far surpassed the previous activation of Susanoo, caused two streams of blood to flow from Jin’s eyes.
“Jin!”
Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui swiftly appeared, standing protectively in front of Jin with worried expressions.
They had been concerned about Jin recklessly using the Mangekyo’s power, knowing it would cause irreversible damage to his eyes. However, they couldn’t reveal the Mangekyo’s weaknesses in front of the other clans, so they anxiously watched from the sidelines.
Seeing Jin’s eyes seemingly in trouble now, they immediately moved to guard him.
“Damn it, I originally came just to see who dared to cause trouble. I didn’t expect it to escalate this much. I didn’t even bring my chakra weapons, armor, or any secret medicines and ninja tools!”
Fugaku was also a bit flustered. Although he had hardened himself earlier, the thought of a possible confrontation with Konoha still made him uneasy.
“Don’t bother me!”
Jin paid no attention to Fugaku and Shisui, standing guard behind him. He continued to focus on Danzo’s remains.
In the next moment.
The boiling power in Jin’s eyes finally reached its peak. Accompanied by ripples that seemed to twist the very fabric of space, a semi-transparent figure appeared above Danzo’s corpse.
Danzo Shimura!
Such a considerable commotion naturally drew everyone’s attention, and they noticed the strange phenomenon happening in front of Jin.
Could Danzo revive?
As everyone stared in astonishment, they saw the figure resembling Danzo being swallowed by a vortex of twisted space.
Faintly.
A familiar voice filled with endless hatred echoed in everyone’s mind!
“Hiruzen, you will regret this!”
…
It’s done!
Unlike the confused and uncertain crowd, Jin, whose face was still stained with blood tears, revealed a relieved smile.
The torment of the body, the shattering of dreams, the betrayal of a friend…
Even the last glimmer of hope would be cruelly toyed with before being wholly crushed!
It wouldn’t be surprising for an extremist Uchiha to harbor such malice towards Danzo. However, despite disliking the ‘Scapegoat Kage,’ Jin wasn’t inclined to vent all his frustration on a mere pawn.
At most, it served as a warning, using Danzo as an example to provoke Hiruzen, the cunning old fox.
However.
Upon awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, Jin instantly had a new idea.
Yomotsu Hirasaka!
The boundary between the world of the living and the underworld is another name for the Yomi-no-Hirasaka.
The Mangekyo ability ‘Yomotsu Hirasaka’ was a unique power that Jin’s left and right eyes shared. Their combined use minimized energy consumption and maximized effectiveness.
However, the abilities of the left and right eyes differed in their applications, clearly demonstrating their unique powers.
Left Eye: Creation! Right Eye: Interference!
The left eye’s power, ‘Creation,’ temporarily allowed Jin to create a small underworld dimension using Mangekyo’s power.
However, maintaining this dimension required a constant supply of Mangekyo chakra, and once the chakra was exhausted, the unstable dimension would collapse and vanish.
The right eye’s power, ‘Interference,’ could harness the power of the underworld dimension to affect reality, creating a similar effect to a Reality Marble, showcasing the terrifying power of the underworld.
Controlling souls! Eroding everything! Erasing all existence!
With enough power, Jin could become a deity of the underworld, wielding absolute control over life and death within his domain.
Of course!
Such powerful abilities came with significant limitations. ‘Yomotsu Hirasaka’ consumed much chakra, far beyond what was needed to summon Susanoo.
If Jin relied on creating and using the underworld dimension to battle, even his immense chakra reserves wouldn’t last long, potentially making him even worse off than Sasuke, who quickly strained his eyes.
Not to mention the risk of opponents evading the underworld’s manifestation area, leading to a laughably humiliating death.
However, the Mangekyo Sharingan wasn’t so impractical. Despite its terrifying energy consumption, there were ways to mitigate this.
The key was souls!
The power of souls, influential individuals’ resilient and pure souls, could sustain the underworld and enhance its growth.
With sufficient chakra and soul nourishment, the underworld dimension could eventually become a permanent reality, turning Jin into a true deity of the underworld, with absolute control over life and death!
Therefore.
When Jin understood ‘Yomotsu Hirasaka,’ he immediately considered Danzo a sacrificial lamb, a means to refine a truly ‘pure’ and ‘resilient’ soul.
Pure! Resilient!
These terms weren’t exclusive to the victorious or the righteous. In the realm of souls, purity wasn’t tied to morality.
A selfless and virtuous soul is valuable, but so is a soul consumed by darkness, hatred, and greed!
Under the influence of the underworld dimension, souls would experience a loop similar to the effects of ‘Izanami,’ constantly reliving their most profound memories.
The virtuous would recall joy and gratitude, while the fallen relive pain and resentment, endlessly cycling through despair and awakening.
In this eternal cycle, the essence of their souls would be extracted, nourishing the underworld dimension and allowing it to grow by drawing power from the world.
Only the resilient and pure souls of strong individuals could endure this endless cycle, enabling the underworld dimension to grow faster.
Ultimately!
Regardless of virtue or vice, all would merge into the underworld, becoming part of Jin’s power!
