Chapter 57
Poof—
The moment the Perfect Susanoo was shattered,
Uchiha Shisui was blasted away, crashing into a fallen tree dozens of meters away. He coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.
The force of the shockwave alone had shattered the bones throughout his body.
"Impossible..."
"My Perfect Susanoo... was actually destroyed..."
"He... he's even stronger than when he suppressed the Nine-Tails seven years ago."
"No wonder he's only been using taijutsu. Turns out, among all the Uchiha Ryunian's abilities, his taijutsu is actually the weakest..."
"..."
At this moment, Shisui lay on the ground, blood constantly pouring from his mouth. His face was pale, and his Mangekyō Sharingan eyes were filled with wisps of blood, looking both eerie and terrifying.
He simply couldn't understand it—
The Perfect Susanoo he was so proud of had been shattered with a single punch.
How was he supposed to fight this?
You had to understand—
Casting a Perfect Susanoo already pushed his Mangekyō to its limit.
And yet, it was still completely useless against Uchiha Ryunian.
---
"Shisui, you're just too weak."
Swish!
A sharp sound of wind followed, and Uchiha Ryunian appeared in front of Shisui, looking down at him arrogantly.
"The warm-up is over. You can start using genjutsu now," Ryunian said casually. "Oh, but regular illusions are useless against me. You better go ahead and cast Kotoamatsukami. Change my mind. Make me 'bathe in the Will of Fire' and 'feel its greatness.'"
"You..."
Poof!
Listening to Ryunian's mocking tone, Shisui's face twisted in rage. He coughed up another mouthful of blood.
It was simply too humiliating.
He had already used his strongest technique.
And yet Ryunian still dared to say he was only 'warming up'?
How much did he look down on him!?
---
"Alright, didn't you want to bathe in the Will of Fire? Then I'll help you feel just how 'great' it really is!!" Shisui roared.
Kotoamatsukami...!
At that moment, unable and unwilling to hold back any longer, Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan flared with a strange, powerful light.
Before Ryunian could react, a flock of crows shrieked and invaded his mind.
---
"Time Rewind."
Ryunian's lips curved into a faint smile as he spoke quietly.
The instant Shisui cast Kotoamatsukami, Ryunian's senses picked up the danger through his observation haki-like instincts.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Ryunian's right Mangekyō erupted with a terrifying surge of power.
And under Shisui's stunned gaze, time seemed to rewind—
He had clearly activated Kotoamatsukami a moment ago.
But now, in the blink of an eye...
Everything reset to just one second before he cast it!
---
"Impossible... This is... Izanagi?" Shisui gasped.
He instinctively checked his eyes.
No—after using Izanagi, a Sharingan should go blind!
"Wait... it's..."
Suddenly, Shisui realized something and exclaimed in horror,
"Uchiha Ryunian... your Mangekyō ability—does it control time!?"
---
"Correct."
Ryunian rubbed his right eye a little uncomfortably and nodded.
Damn it, he thought.
Using Time Rewind almost cost him half his life-force.
For now, he could only rewind time by about three seconds.
As for other applications?
He hadn't tested them all yet.
Right Eye: He could rewind time, or slow the time flow of anything in his line of sight.
(He could, for example, stare at a thrown kunai and make it move so slowly that it was easy to dodge.)
Left Eye: He could accelerate the time flow of anything he looked at—speeding up his own attacks or the movements of his ninjutsu.
---
"You..."
Poof!
Shisui coughed violently again, his face growing even paler.
Knowing that Ryunian's Mangekyō possessed such terrifying powers filled Shisui with despair.
---
"You still want to cast Kotoamatsukami?"
Before Shisui could even attempt it again, Ryunian, who had been ready all along, moved faster than lightning.
Rip!
In one clean move, he gouged out both of Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan.
---
AHHHHH—!!
Shisui let out a blood-curdling scream.
The pain was excruciating.
The moment he realized both his Mangekyō had been ripped out, Shisui's vision faded to darkness.
It was over.
His eyes—
His future—
Everything had been destroyed.
Only one thought echoed in his mind:
Konoha is doomed.
Uchiha Ryunian had hidden his strength too deeply.
He would surely bring disaster to the village.
Thinking of this, Shisui felt he had failed the expectations of the Third Hokage and the others who trusted him.
---
"Forget it," Ryunian muttered. "Let me show you the real future of the Uchiha Clan... in a dream."
He sighed and shook his head at the half-conscious Shisui.
"Shisui... In the eyes of Konoha's leadership, you were just a slightly stronger dog."
Whoosh!
In the next instant, Ryunian's Mangekyō erupted again with an overwhelming pulse of power.
---
Shisui's mind was flooded by scenes like a slideshow:
He saw himself being ambushed by Danzo and losing an eye.
He saw Danzo, the masked man (Obito), and Itachi working together to slaughter the entire Uchiha Clan.
He saw his own death treated as irrelevant by the Konoha elders.
He saw... he saw... he saw...
