"Hmph, you're playing ghost, aren't you!"
Uchiha Kagami's entire body trembled from the severe injury, yet a maniacal grin filled his eyes as he glared at C. The blood-red chakra surrounding him continued to intensify, leaving C feeling like he had a noose tightening around his neck.
Can't wait any longer!
"Come and accept your fate!"
C paid no mind; the electric cocoon enveloping his body wrapped around him. He swiftly circled behind Uchiha Kagami and unleashed a lightning-fast punch.
Given Uchiha Kagami's serious injury, C sensed that as long as he avoided his attacks, victory was within reach. His punch connected, striking the back of Uchiha Kagami. To his surprise, the dark red substance behind Uchiha Kagami felt as solid as a tangible entity.
With the impact, dark red energy splattered, causing Uchiha Kagami to stagger forward and fall. Uchiha Kagami seemed to possess eyes as he slashed directly behind him!
"What the heck is this?"
Uchiha Kagami's blade, enveloped in dark red energy like a blood-red meteor, collided with C's chakra coat. However, the once impregnable defense now emitted a trace of black smoke, as if the chakra was being corroded and contaminated.
"Pfft—"
Despite Uchiha's severe injuries, the power of the slash didn't seem as terrifying. However, C had to wipe several times to eliminate the Lightning Release Chakra Mode stained with blood-red energy. He even felt a significant chakra consumption and an unsettling sensation.
"Come! Let me show you the power the Uchiha clan is truly proud of!"
Whether he knew his end was near or the drugs had greatly stimulated his nerves, Uchiha Kagami's energy became extremely violent and bloody. It condensed into ribs outside his body, forming a spine!
"This... this is..."
C looked in shock at Kagami Uchiha, protected by the bones, as if he had realized something that sent panic through him.
"Cough, cough... it really hurts!"
Blood formed a line from the corner of Uchiha Kagami's eyes. His vision blurred, tingling sensation prevailing. The bones, gradually forming, stopped growing and instead became more and more ethereal.
"This is the power our Uchiha clan dreamt of—Susanoo. Unfortunately, I'll end it here."
Uchiha Kagami smiled helplessly. His eyes and talent didn't allow him to continue using Susanoo. At this level, it was merely a prototype—only a small part manifested, reaching the limit of Uchiha Kagami.
"Without eyes like those, even if it costs me my life, I'm far from reaching the level of my ancestors."
Uchiha Kagami murmured in disappointment. Generally, to use Susanoo, one must awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, but it's not an absolute rule.
Susanoo essentially harnesses chakra and theoretically can be performed as long as the strength is sufficient, although it's incredibly difficult. The Mangekyō Sharingan acts as a template, automatically generating a way to use chakra—Susanoo.
Madara Uchiha, even with a pair of ordinary Three Tomoe Sharingan, could use Susanoo due to his extraordinary use of the Mangekyō Sharingan, yin power, and chakra control in his impure world reincarnation body.
What truly elevates the Mangekyō Sharingan's power beyond ordinary abilities is the two pupil techniques it comes with.
The Mangekyō Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul, possessing various pupil abilities. Although it fundamentally consumes chakra, its unique abilities and effects cannot be replicated by others.
Uchiha Kagami's Three Tomoe Sharingan had evolved to the limit, revealing a faint trace of a more potent yin release energy. At the brink of death, stimulated by drugs, he glimpsed the threshold of the ancestor's power.
It's unfortunate that he lacks strength, and his inherent bloodline is restricted. He can only unleash a portion of Susanoo's ultimate power at the cost of his own life!
"Go to hell!"
Uchiha Kagami's eyes transformed in overload, and the energy forming the rib-like structure on his body morphed into a massive skeletal arm, seizing C!
Due to insufficient control, he could only attack in this manner.
"Humph!"
Though C had heard tales of the Konoha Shura, the adversary before him wasn't intimidated. He wasn't Onoki. After a brief moment of panic, he swiftly launched a counteroffensive.
"Lightning Release · Lightning Straight!"
"Boom!"
The clash was intense, with C sensing his attacks resembling striking cold iron. The formidable anti-shock force even repelled him, an unprecedented outcome in a head-to-head confrontation with Uchiha Kagami!
"What formidable defense!"
A disconcerting cold sensation invaded his body, disrupting his chakra flow.
C was taken aback. Despite facing Uchiha Kagami numerous times, he didn't anticipate such potent energy!
Uchiha Kagami surpassed Sasuke, having awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan and attained true kage-level prowess. Despite Susanoo appearing worn, he gathered his last ounce of strength!
"Come!"
Uchiha Kagami's colossal skeletal hand developed numerous cracks; his eyes showed intense pain, blood obscuring his vision. Knowing time was short, he summoned more chakra and activated his pupils. He had many chakras and pupils, but his body couldn't keep up!
He needed to eliminate C before his body collapsed, a potential chance to save the Uchiha clan!
The original skeletal giant hand vanished. The sole power transformed into a blood-colored chain shooting out from Uchiha Kagami, fiercely targeting C.
Rocks and trees crumbled to powder from the blood-colored chains. A few Cloud Ninja couldn't dodge in time, turning into a mist!
Each Susanoo wielded a unique weapon. The chain was Uchiha Kagami's exclusive weapon, though he couldn't summon a complete form.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
C, with his speed and strength, resisted the chain's onslaught, momentarily gaining the upper hand.
Though Uchiha Kagami possessed kage-level strength and tapped into Susanoo's power, C and his Cloud Ninjas team should have been able to overpower him given his desperate state. However, Uchiha Kagami seemed determined to die alongside him, and the power of his eyes was mysterious, making C cautious.
He also has knowledge about the Uchiha clan's reputation in the ninja world as the strongest clan after the Senju clan and experienced Konoha's peak during which was "Dark Age" for other major ninja villages. He wanted to witness the legendary power of the Uchiha Sharingan!
"This blood-colored Susanoo... inducing negative effects on people? Along with the illusion, becoming stronger after activating the eyes initially, if he fully awakens the Mangekyō Sharingan, it should be an illusion-type pupil technique.
It's a shame your bloodline is so limited!"
Perched on a distant treetop, a civilian-looking man observed Uchiha Kagami's decisive battle. His eyes glowed with black energy, forming a sinister smile.
"As the Uchiha Clan Head, maintaining loyalty to Konoha, you deserve this fate. I wonder how Tobirama will react? I'm quite eager to find out, quack, quack!"
