Naruto: Cultivating to Immortality

Chapter 207 Falling Victim

As the most proud and arrogant member of the Uchiha clan, how could Uchiha Shisui easily accept such a cruel reality? Completely disregarding his wounded and exhausted body, and his nearly depleted chakra, he resolutely squeezed out the last bit of power from his body and channeled it into his eyes! In an instant, the previously shattered skull reappeared, but underwent a complete transformation—the skull was now covered in a thick layer of green armor, transforming into a much larger, more imposing, and awe-inspiring armored warrior!

Uchiha Shisui struggled to his feet, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination. At that moment, the massive armored warrior's hands rapidly gathered green chakra, which, like agile sprites, gradually coalesced into a gigantic weapon shaped like a tomoe (magatama).

Uchiha Shisui stared intently at the massive weapon, sensing a powerful and terrifying force brewing within it. With a fierce swing of his arms, the weapon gathered in his hands shot out like a streaking meteor, carrying unparalleled impact as it hurtled straight towards Hyuga Kanan.

The speed of this attack was astonishing, as if it had instantly crossed the boundaries of space. Uchiha Shisui secretly rejoiced; he clearly felt that the armored samurai he had summoned this time had significantly improved in strength. Both its attack and defense had risen to a whole new level. He was confident that he could withstand such a fierce attack again.

Furthermore, the armored samurai's attack methods have also changed. What was once a single, simple melee attack has become more flexible and versatile, allowing for the free combination of various moves depending on the battle situation. Uchiha Shisui knew that this change would give him more opportunities to defeat his enemies. He clenched his fists tightly, secretly vowing to make the most of this advantage and deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.

Facing yet another fierce attack from Uchiha Shisui, Hyuga Kanan couldn't help but feel a sense of weariness. This battle had dragged on for quite some time, yet he hadn't learned anything of value from it. Initially, he had hoped that the Mangekyou Sharingan would offer some enlightenment on his training journey, but it had proven to be nothing more than wishful thinking.

This power of rules, which operates solely on bloodline and is controlled by someone behind the scenes, is meaningless to Hyuga Kanan. He cannot glean any useful information from it, and continuing to entangle himself would only waste his precious time. Moreover, Uchiha Shisui's repeated attacks on him are clearly overestimating his abilities. Therefore, Hyuga Kanan decides to make his opponent clearly understand the vast difference in their strength, thereby completely shattering his beliefs.

Hyuga Kanan steadied himself, his gaze fixed firmly on Uchiha Shisui. He adjusted his breathing, gathering his energy in his palm, forming a giant golden sword that floated before him, ready to deliver the final blow. This strike would reveal his true power, making Uchiha Shisui understand that the gap between them was insurmountable. As Hyuga Kanan exerted his power, a powerful aura suddenly erupted, seemingly freezing the surrounding air. The giant golden sword swung down like a mountain, instantly shattering Uchiha Shisui's tomoe attack. The sword, still carrying the unparalleled speed and power of lightning, instantly closed in on Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui sensed Hyuga Kanan's powerful aura, and a wave of fear washed over him. His eyes widened as he tried to block the fatal blow, but it was too late. Hyuga Kanan's golden greatsword crashed down like a mountain crushing an egg, striking the chest of the armored warrior Uchiha Shisui had conjured. The moment of contact, cracks appeared in the armor, which eventually shattered completely. Uchiha Shisui groaned, his body flying backward before collapsing to the ground.

Seeing that his opponent was too weak to get up, Hyuga Kanan lightly clapped his hands, as if he had just done something insignificant. He looked around, sensing the presence of countless Konoha ninjas nearby, and decided not to continue. Although his encounter with Uchiha Shisui hadn't brought him any substantial gains, he believed it should serve as a strong deterrent to Konoha, letting them know not to bother him again.

Just as Hyuga Kanan was about to turn and leave, Uchiha Shisui trembled as he slowly stood up once more. His Mangekyou Sharingan, brimming with mysterious power, was now staring directly at Hyuga Kanan, as if trying to see right through her. At the same time, Uchiha Shisui began to channel all the remaining chakra in his body into his eyes, for this would be his final move, and his most powerful dojutsu.

"Hyuga Kanan, I haven't lost yet!" Uchiha Shisui shouted at Hyuga Kanan with all his might. He knew he was at a complete disadvantage, but he was unwilling to give up easily. He hoped that his shout would attract Kanan's attention and draw her gaze. If he had even a fleeting moment of opportunity, he could unleash his 'Kotoamatsukami' eye technique and take control of the situation.

Hyuga Kanan slightly turned his head, looking again at Uchiha Shisui, who was shakily standing up, completely disregarding him. He hadn't killed him out of concern that Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan would attract the attention of those behind the scenes. After all, the Mangekyou Sharingan was connected to the Pure Land, and no one knew whether Shisui's death would cause unnecessary trouble. But judging from Shisui's appearance, he clearly wouldn't give up on harassing him and would definitely bring him trouble.

When Hyuga Kanan's gaze shifted to him, there was little opportunity for him to be on guard. Uchiha Shisui instantly activated the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye technique, 'Kotoamatsukami,' at full power, ignoring the intense pain in his eyes and the agony in every cell of his body. His Sharingan locked onto Hyuga Kanan's eyes, flashing a red light while emitting a mysterious fluctuation of rules, directed towards Hyuga Kanan's eyes.

Caught completely off guard, Hyuga Kanan suddenly felt a mysterious and powerful force surge into his mind like a tidal wave, eroding his will. Deep within his consciousness, a pair of blood-red Mangekyou Sharingan quietly emerged, locking onto his consciousness like a ghost, forming a phantom image. This image gradually distorted his perception, even planting a thought in his subconscious: he should obey Hiruzen Sarutobi's orders and protect the peace and stability of Konoha Village.

However, the instant this illusion arose, Hyuga Kanan's spiritual power surged like a powder keg ignited. His previously unguarded attitude towards Uchiha Shisui instantly turned into heightened vigilance. At the same time, he swiftly mobilized the vast spiritual power within his body, channeling it back into the depths of his consciousness like a torrent, tightly enveloping those eerie Sharingan eyes.

This powerful divine sense acted like an unbreakable shield, stubbornly resisting the mysterious energy that attempted to alter his consciousness. Each wisp of divine sense was like a sharp sword, constantly cutting and disintegrating the invading force. In this fierce confrontation, Hyuga Kanan's inner world was in turmoil; his consciousness teetered on the brink of collapse amidst the clash of two powerful forces, causing him excruciating headaches.

However, Hyuga Kanan's incredibly pure and powerful spiritual energy, like a surging torrent, quickly overwhelmed everything. It gained an absolute advantage with overwhelming force and began to mercilessly extinguish the mysterious and unpredictable energy emanating from the Sharingan hidden deep within her consciousness.

This powerful divine force seemed to possess boundless strength and wisdom. Like a pair of invisible hands, it tightly grasped the mysterious energy, gradually shattering and dissolving it. Each collision unleashed a dazzling light, as brilliant and spectacular as falling stars.

As time passed, Hyuga Kanan's counterattack grew increasingly fierce. His spiritual power, like a sharp sword, mercilessly severed the evil energy affecting him. Finally, after a breathtaking battle, the Sharingan residing deep within his consciousness was utterly shattered.

Finally, the mysterious energy that had once troubled Hyuga Kanan vanished before his powerful spiritual senses. It was obliterated without a trace, as if it had never existed. And Hyuga Kanan, through his unwavering will and exceptional strength, successfully defended his inner world.

Uchiha Shisui, seeing Hyuga Kanan's sudden expression of pain, felt a surge of joy. He knew that Kanan must have been hit by his eye technique and was struggling to resist. However, despite this, a subtle smile still appeared on Uchiha Shisui's lips.

After all, he had unleashed the full power of both his eye techniques simultaneously, attacking Hyuga Kanan with all his might. Now, his vision was even beginning to blur, his eyes becoming increasingly blurry. This was unusual for him, but he was full of confidence in his eye techniques.

The subconscious message conveyed by the eye technique clearly indicated that almost no one could rival it. Even though Hyuga Kanan's displayed strength astonished him, he remained convinced that the opponent could not withstand this powerful force. In his eyes, the eye technique was his most trusted weapon, and this time, he unleashed its full power without reservation.

Uchiha Shisui silently watched Hyuga Kanan, anticipating the moment when Kanan would be utterly defeated by his eye technique. He believed that victory in this battle would belong to him, to the invincible eye technique he possessed.

Soon, Hyuga Kanan's expression returned to normal. The battle deep within her consciousness felt like it had lasted a long time, but in reality it was only a moment.
