"A trap… for me?"
Uchiha Shisui's expression darkened. He hadn't anticipated this at all.
The claim about going to the Daimyo's mansion was a decoy.
The true target had never been the Daimyo—it was him.
Fugaku had orchestrated this as a calculated move to eliminate a traitor within the Uchiha clan.
Shisui had fallen for it completely.
"Third form—!"
Pouring more chakra and pupil power into his Mangekyō Sharingan, Shisui activated Susanoo's third form.
Thick armor materialized, covering the entire Susanoo, greatly enhancing its durability and power.
Whoosh!
The spiral sword in Susanoo's hand spun at high speed, forming a vortex of cutting force.
With a mighty thrust, it stabbed towards the Uchiha Flame Formation, attempting to break through the barrier.
Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted as the sword struck the fiery barrier.
Shockwaves tore through the air, sending ripples of wind surging within the enclosure.
The clash of power generated an intense burst of flames, but…
The barrier remained intact.
The Uchiha Flame Formation was a barrier of unparalleled defense, especially when more than fifty elite Uchiha were maintaining it.
Even with Susanoo's third form, breaking it in a short time was impossible.
Shisui's face tensed, frustration growing.
He retracted the spiral sword, then immediately launched another powerful strike.
"Shikotsumyaku—Dance of the Early Ferns!"
Before Shisui could strike again, Fugaku made his move.
Forming hand seals, he slammed his palms into the ground.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A massive eruption of white bone spikes pierced through the earth, launching towards Shisui's Susanoo.
"Tch—!"
Shisui instantly redirected his spiral sword, swinging it horizontally to counter the onslaught of piercing bones.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The spiral sword severed the incoming white spikes, slicing through them one after another.
But—
More spikes emerged.
From underneath Susanoo itself.
"Damn!"
Shisui leaped away, narrowly dodging the jagged bone spikes that had surged from beneath his feet.
But—
More followed.
One after another, Shisui's space was closing in rapidly.
Puff—!
A massive bone spike pierced through his body.
Shisui was lifted off the ground, impaled mid-air.
Buzz!
At the cost of his right eye, Izanagi activated, rewriting reality.
Shisui reappeared a short distance away, his body restored, but now one eye was permanently blind.
"Five minutes... that's how long I have."
Compared to Danzo, a pure-blooded Uchiha like Shisui could prolong Izanagi's effect—but only for a maximum of five minutes.
Unfortunately, the battlefield was still shifting.
"Shikotsumyaku—Dance of the Early Ferns!"
Fugaku extended his arms, releasing another wave of bone destruction.
Countless massive bone spears erupted from every direction, transforming the battlefield into a dense forest of deadly spikes.
Shisui's breathing quickened.
His space to maneuver was rapidly diminishing.
"I have to stop this jutsu!"
Shisui's gaze locked onto Fugaku, his left Mangekyō Sharingan spinning rapidly.
"Kotoamatsukami—!"
A powerful mental disturbance struck Fugaku head-on.
"Ugh—!"
Fugaku's vision blurred, his mind clouded by Kotoamatsukami's influence.
For a moment, his consciousness wavered.
But—
The effect was resisted.
Fugaku forcefully activated his own pupil power, counteracting Shisui's Kotoamatsukami.
The clash of Genjutsu forces left both sides momentarily dazed, causing Fugaku's bone jutsu to halt.
"Shisui-ryu Body Flicker Technique—!"
Seizing the opening, Shisui blurred into motion, splitting into multiple clones as he charged directly at Fugaku.
Swish, swish, swish!
Dodging the forest of bone spears, he and his illusory copies rushed at Fugaku from all angles, their katanas slashing down in unison.
"Shikotsumyaku—Dance of the Camellia!"
Fugaku's body shifted, his skin sprouting razor-sharp bone spikes across every inch.
He transformed into a living weapon, a walking porcupine of death.
Puff, puff, puff!
Every single clone was impaled, vanishing into thin air.
The real Shisui barely evaded, flipping backward to avoid the spikes' lethal range.
"I can't get close!"
Sweat dripped down his face.
Against a Shikotsumyaku user at this level, his Body Flicker techniques were useless in close range.
"Susanoo—!"
With no other choice, he activated Susanoo once more, raising his spiral sword for a final attack.
"Shikotsumyaku—Dance of the Early Ferns!"
Before the sword could strike, Fugaku thrust his hands downward again.
Boom!
A new wave of enormous bone spikes erupted, tearing into Susanoo's armor.
The ground beneath Shisui exploded, sending bones shooting inside and out of Susanoo's form.
"Tch!"
Inside, Shisui desperately dodged the intruding bone spikes.
But—
Puff!
A single monstrous bone spear tore through Susanoo's defenses, impaling Shisui once more.
Blood splattered across the battlefield.
Buzz!
Not far away, Uchiha Shisui came back to life, breathing heavily.
Shisui collapsed to his knees, panting heavily.
His hair clung to his sweat-drenched face, exhaustion written all over him.
Meanwhile…
In the distance, hidden within a tree, a White Zetsu clone watched the battle unfold.
It was one of many sent by Zetsu to monitor Uchiha Fugaku.
Feeling the intensity of chakra from afar, it had arrived just in time to witness everything.
"So Uchiha Obito was right…"
Its eyes widened in shock.
"Uchiha Fugaku really has the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Three Mangekyō Sharingan users in the same clan.
Every single one of them wielded Kage-level power—or beyond.
And Fugaku… was the strongest.
"Not only that…"
The White Zetsu clone gulped.
"He also possesses Ice Release and the Shikotsumyaku… and he's overwhelming Shisui completely."
If not for Izanagi, Shisui would already be dead.
