Before Renjiro had his outburst, Ohashi was busy digging into one of his eye sockets. So the repulsion force he got hit by from the shockwave was all he needed to finally get one of Renjiro's eyes, although he lost it just before losing consciousness.
'My body just feels different.' Renjiro surmised.
Losing an eye was not as fun as many would think, and that was what Renjiro was feeling. He felt empty like he had a void that gnawed at the very core of his being.
But even as the pain he felt all over his body and his eyes threatened to overwhelm him, Renjiro's thoughts were drawn to a different sensation. He felt that there was something different with his body, no it wasn't his missing eye, it was something else. The worst thing was that Renjiro could neither trace nor explain what it was.
While Renjiro was still trying to get a hold of his current predicament, Ohashi sent out Lightning bullets directly towards him.
'Ooh, I had forgotten about him.' Renjiro thought as he wanted to roll over to avoid the lightning bullets.
But something strange happened when he tried to do so. When he thought of avoiding the incoming attacks, he had planned to use his arms and in one motion rollover.
This was not what happened as Renjiro's body was moved by what appeared to be huge metallic gleaming chains.
'What...?'
Renjiro's heart raced as he struggled to make sense of the sudden emergence of chains from his torso. Each metallic link seemed to gleam with energy, Renjiro guessed that it was Chakra.
'Did I finally get my second Chakra seinou?'
"What the hell is that?" Ohashi questioned as he witnessed Renjiro seemingly dodge his lightning bullets.
'Finally! Though this is good, if it happened earlier maybe I wouldn't have lost my eye. I just hope I get some way to fix it.'
As Renjiro concentrated, a sense of clarity washed over him, suffusing his being with newfound purpose. With a mere thought, he commanded the chains to retract, and to his amazement, they obeyed, coiling back into his body with an almost serpentine grace.
'Great! It feels like I have gotten new limbs.'
Renjiro's eyes widened in awe as he realized the true extent of his newfound power. He continued manipulating it in various directions before concluding,
'But it takes up more chakra than I expected, especially now when I do not have much to use. I need to deal with Ohashi quickly. He is responsible for the gap on my face, it's only fine If I return the favour.'
"Blitz!"
The person in question did not give up and sent another set of lightning bullets towards Renjiro.
When Renjiro saw the bullets approaching, he instinctively raised his hand, summoning forth a barrier to deflect the oncoming onslaught of lightning bullets.
With a flick of his wrist, the bullets collided with the ethereal barrier, sending ripples of energy cascading through the air before dissipating into nothingness.
'Now this is better, it is vastly different from any Barrier ninjutsu I learnt and also more efficient. Nothing much was shown and said about this sub ability of it. If I keep working on it maybe I could improve it to Susanno levels.'
With each passing moment, Renjiro felt his connection to the chains growing stronger. He knew that with time and practice, he would learn to wield their power with precision and skill, becoming an unstoppable force on the battlefield.
But for now, Renjiro focused on the task at hand. As Renjiro prepared to counter Ohashi, He saw the latter making hand signs. Ohashi then bit his thumb before a large cloud of smoke suddenly appeared all around the two.
'What is he trying to do?'
Renjiro thought as he tried to see through the smoke around him. He was already finding it hard to see with one of his eyes, but now even that was made harder with the smoke. With his vision near obscured, Renjiro gave up and decided to just rely on his Chakra field.
Renjiro focused inward, reaching out with his chakra senses to feel the chakra around him. Despite the dense smoke obscuring his vision, he could still perceive the subtle fluctuations in the chakra field, like ripples on the surface of a pond disturbed by an unseen force.
"Wait why am I sensing my Chakra?" Renjiro muttered as he flickered to the unidentified source. It was only a couple of feet from him.
What Renjiro met was his missing eye. It seemed that it was still exuding his chakra.
'Thank God, with a bit of Medical Ninjutsu this would be reattached back.'
Renjiro said as he stored the eye in one of his storage seals. He could not just pop it back into its eye socket and hope that his regeneration kick in and solve a majority of his problems.
Renjiro feared that it was somehow infected so he chose to abandon that option. While that could still be fixed with Medical Ninjutsu, Renjiro did not want to risk it even though he was still in the middle of a fight.
As Renjiro used his chakra field again, he sensed a large malicious chakra before he heard a loud Roar.
"Roar!"
Renjiro's attention immediately snapped back to the present after the roar reverberated through the air. It was a sound that sent shivers down his spine.
'Did he summon something? The chakra I sensed was not as much as what I sensed from Kushina. But then again, Kurama had the largest Chakra reserves bar Ten-tails.'
Suddenly the dense smoke began to disperse, revealing an unexpected sight. It was a golden Leopard Turtle, its form massive and imposing, its shell adorned with intricate patterns that gleamed in the faint light.
Renjiro could scarcely believe his eyes as he beheld the awe-inspiring sight before him, the sheer scale of the creature dwarfing even the formidable figure of Ohashi Kurogane.
"What is it Kurogane?" The giant Leopard Turtle asked.
"I need help Mizuki," Ohashi began, "I need time to heal so that I can use that."
"Who do you need help against?" Mizuki, the giant Leopard Turtle, asked.
"Him" Ohashi pointed at Renjiro.
Mizuki turned his body and looked at Renjiro. Even with that distance, he was able to see the Young shinobi and even see through him!
"Why are you fighting an Uzumaki? I thought your clan knew better than this?" Mizuki asked.
"Wait, Uzumaki? What do you mean by-" Mizuki interrupted Ohashi as he used one of his limbs and forced him into his shell.
'Good thing he is still so young. I can just kill him and then get some rest.'
Before Renjiro could react, the golden turtle surged forward with astonishing speed, closing the distance between them in the blink of an eye.
Despite its immense weight, the creature moved with an agility and swiftness that seemed to defy the laws of physics, its movements deft and precise.
And with a suddenness that took Renjiro by surprise, the golden turtle came to a halt before him.
But as quickly as it had appeared, the creature opened its massive jaws, unleashing a torrent of green, viscous liquid in Renjiro's direction.
But to Mizuki's surprise, the noxious substance never reached him. Instead, it splattered against an invisible barrier surrounding him, the adamantine chains he had recently awakened pulsating with a faint blue glow as their barrier repelled the attack.
'It is either poison or an acid.'
Renjiro thought as he observed the dark green smoke rising from the area where Mizuki's acidic attack had landed, which was all around the barrier. This confirmed his suspicions about its corrosive nature.
'This barrier sure is handy. But with that said how am I going to deal with this huge turtle?'
