At this moment, Sōsuke's magnetic and gentle voice slowly resonated in the area.
"In that case, would it be easier to have a conversation like this..."
*Cough, cough...*
Time seemed to freeze as Shino, who was pressed into a semicircular pit in an instant, coughed heavily. Several strands of fresh blood were spat onto the ground with each intense cough.
Under the bright sunlight, the vivid contrast between the bloody red blood and his pale face was striking.
Upon hearing Sōsuke's words, Shino, who was kneeling on the ground, struggled to lift his head. His body trembled slightly, as if experiencing some unknown and terrifying oppression.
With great effort, he raised his head, gasping for breath. With one eye wide open, he looked at Sōsuke and asked in a trembling voice.
"What... kind of... ability is this?"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Sōsuke's mouth. He spoke gently.
"Just some interesting powers I recently discovered... What's wrong? Are you unwilling to demonstrate the power of your Mangekyo Sharingan to me at this moment?"
"I've given you enough time. Now, Shino, you should be able to control it perfectly."
Upon hearing Sōsuke's words, Shino, who was still kneeling, coughed.
*Crackle, crackle...*
The depression on the ground was still deepening, and the cracking trench continued to expand!
Despite experiencing terrifying pressure throughout his body, Shino clenched his teeth, slightly lowered his head, and his black eyes shimmered with contemplative light.
Can I...
resist this guy's strength?
No, I don't know enough about this guy... If I take action, the chances of winning are almost nonexistent...
With his head lowered in contemplation, Shino gradually gave up resistance, concealing his expression and movements, intending to express submission to Sōsuke.
However, Sōsuke was gently observing him, with a smile in his eyes. He softly chuckled and said,
"Shino, this is your only chance. This one time, I won't blame you for attacking me. What is your desire?"
Suddenly hearing Sōsuke's words, Shino, who had already given up resistance, had a sudden desire to take action again.
Was it too careless... or was he too confident in his own strength...
He probably doesn't understand my Mangekyo Sharingan....
This might be my only chance... even if it's just to test his upper limits.
I choose to take action!
With his understanding of Sōsuke, Shino naturally wouldn't think that Sōsuke would deceive him.
This time, for him, was the best opportunity to test Sōsuke's strength!
It's now or never!
Thinking of this, Shino, who had lowered his head, suddenly opened his eyes wide. He lifted his head abruptly, and his eyes transformed into three sharp blades, like the Mangekyo Sharingan!
Under the unknown pressure, he managed to rise slowly from his kneeling position. Even though his entire body was under tremendous pressure, he persevered, gritting his teeth. He lowered his head slightly, and his black eyes flickered with thoughtful radiance.
Is it possible?
"Crackle, crackle..."
The intense sound of bone friction continued, sounding eerie, yet he remained resolute. Although he endured immense pain and pressure, he still had a determined expression on his face, staring straight at Sōsuke, who wore an amused smile.
"Is this... your attempt to stand up with your own strength..."
Sōsuke gently observed the trembling Shino and spoke softly.
"At this point, it seems like you want to stand up with your own strength..."
Sōsuke's eyes carried a playful glint, and he lightly chuckled, saying in a soft voice,
"However... I'm eager to see the power of those eyes now
..."
As his words slowly fell, the atmosphere tensed.
The situation on the battlefield suddenly changed!
*Boom!*
Just as Shino, who was already on the verge of collapse, stood up with a wobbling posture, his body suddenly sank again with a tremendous force!
The semi-circular deep pit, already in a precarious state, was hit once again. It rumbled, sinking even deeper. The rocks and soil on the ground cracked or solidified into rock-like hardness under this terrifying pressure!
Some sturdy trees nearby seemed to break abruptly under some inexplicable force!
In an instant, the entire tree trunks quickly became flattened!
Various wood chips continuously emerged from them as if being squeezed out like petals!
What kind of power is this?
If this continues... I won't be able to endure it without even making contact with his... body!!
I can only... use that power!
In the semi-circular pit, Shino's entire body, whose bones were creaking under the pressure, quickly thought.
His cold expression on his ruthless face turned chilly, and as his mind moved!
"Buddo Uchimikoto!!"
*Boom, crackle, crackle...*
A black skeleton suddenly rose from below his body!
*Sizzle, sizzle...*
The massive black skeleton was accompanied by terrifying black lightning, entwining around each bone, making a horrifying sizzling sound!
Gradually, the enormous black skeleton covered Shino's entire body.
*Creak, creak...*
The unknown and terrifying power continued to act on Buddo Uchimikoto, producing a terrifying sound!
However, inside it, Shino was completely unharmed. Seizing this opportunity, he breathed slightly, easing the intense pressure he had endured before.
Above the deep pit,
Watching the giant black bones rise, Sōsuke's eyes squinted slightly. His gaze was unreadable, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He lightly laughed and said to Shino,
"So, this is the ability brought by the Mangekyo Sharingan... It seems quite impressive."
"Go ahead, let me see what kind of brilliance the ultimate dojutsu of the Uchiha clan can display."
Saying this, a glint flashed in his eyes as he murmured as if whispering.
"Shino... I hope your performance won't disappoint me too much..."
Hearing Sōsuke's words, Shino, who had already given up resistance, suddenly felt the enormous pressure that had been present above his body disappear.
Seizing this opportunity, his figure suddenly disappeared from the original spot!
His body instantly appeared in mid-air. With a pair of incredibly blood-red eyes, he glared at Sōsuke, his voice incredibly chilling.
"So, as you wish!"
"Watch carefully! The power of the Uchiha clan's dojutsu that you granted!"
He seemed to carry a hint of a cold smile on his lips as he gazed at Sōsuke.
*Smack!*
However, his palms suddenly came together!
Between his hands, something strange appeared as a dazzling azure lightning flashed.
