Naruto: Cultivating to Immortality

Chapter 66 Mutual Destruction

Thinking of that blood-red space, the ever-flowing river of blood, and the alluring flowers on the opposite bank, Shui Wuyuehen felt a chill of fear.

Those alluring flowers, as if drawn by some unseen force, relentlessly lured her closer. She seemed oblivious to the river of blood that blocked her path, wading into it without a second thought. The river of blood seemed to be eroding her consciousness, drawing her deeper and deeper into its depths.

Fortunately, just as his head was about to be submerged, the freezing power deep within his mind suddenly erupted, breaking free from the alluring flowers' attraction and allowing his consciousness to return, thus freeing him from the blood-red space.

Mizuki Kon was once again filled with dread for the Uchiha clan, a powerful clan that had been a dominant force since the Warring States period. They were truly a terrifying clan, and their unparalleled Sharingan eye techniques were incredibly powerful.

In future battles against the Uchiha clan, we cannot afford to be complacent in the slightest. We must be constantly on guard against their Sharingan and never give them a chance to make eye contact.

After catching his breath, he looked around and found that the Mist Ninja had suffered heavy casualties, and that Uchiha Kagami and the Konoha team were no longer within the surrounding area.

Shui Wuyuehen was instantly enraged.

"Does Uchiha Kagami still think he can escape with the Konoha team? What a naive idea! I won't fall for your kind of eye technique."

Thinking this, he moved quickly, heading towards the direction the Mist Ninja were pursuing. He wouldn't let Uchiha Kagami, who had almost killed him, get away. It was better not to leave that dangerous eye technique behind.

Soon, they saw Uchiha Kagami unilaterally slaughtering the pursuing Mist Ninja. Mizuki quickly moved over, formed hand seals, and attacked Uchiha Kagami.

"Ice Release - Iceberg Freezing Technique!"

The water flowing down from around Uchiha Kagami using Water Release techniques quickly gathered and formed water ropes that wrapped around the half-samurai. It then condensed into ice, completely blocking Uchiha Kagami's movement. The ice continued to spread throughout the samurai's body, clearly aiming to freeze him completely.

As the frost continued to spread towards the warriors he had gathered, Uchiha Kagami began to struggle and move with all his might, trying to break free from the iceberg-like freeze.

Uchiha Kagami continued to swing his giant sword, his body constantly moving and struggling, the surrounding icebergs were constantly shattered, and countless ice shards slid down to the ground.

However, the ice shards that had just slid to the ground melted back into water and merged back into the iceberg, continuing to freeze the Uchiha Kagami samurai, clearly intending to continue freezing this giant samurai.

Uchiha Kagami was panting heavily. The constant manipulation of Susanoo was too exhausting. His vision was blurry, and his eyesight had obviously deteriorated significantly. Every cell in his body was screaming, causing deep pain throughout his body. He knew he couldn't hold on much longer.

Meanwhile, Mizuki Hen, who was hiding not far away, was also experiencing violent chest heaving and his hands were trembling incessantly. He was constantly releasing chakra to maintain the freezing effect of this ninjutsu, which directly drained his own chakra. His consciousness, which had just been attacked by Uchiha Kagami's eye technique, was now somewhat dazed, and his hands were also frostbitten due to the freezing of icebergs formed by constantly releasing cold air.

But Mizuki Hen still didn't want to give up this opportunity. At this moment, Uchiha Kagami was also at his last gasp. If he could just hold on a little longer, his opponent would definitely collapse first, and then he could kill him. That terrifying eye technique absolutely couldn't be allowed to remain; it was far too dangerous for a skilled Kirigakure ninja.

Uchiha Kagami finally couldn't hold on any longer. He dispelled the chakra samurai phantom that was enveloping him, and knelt down on one knee, using his hand to support his body so that he wouldn't completely collapse.

There were fewer than 10 Kirigakure ninja left at the scene, most of whom were exhausted, but some members of the Konoha team still managed to escape with Shimura Danzo.

Mizuki Hen still didn't reveal himself directly. He didn't intend to show himself until he was certain that Uchiha Kagami was completely dead. He didn't want to be attacked by the opponent's Sharingan eye techniques again. He was already extremely exhausted and didn't have the ability to break free from the opponent's eye techniques again.

Mizuki waved to the two Mist Ninja, signaling them to attack Uchiha Kagami, who was kneeling, without giving him a chance to recover.

The two Mist Ninja suppressed their fear. The scene of Uchiha Kagami using that chakra to create a samurai and slaughtering the Mist Ninja troops was truly terrifying. However, they did not have the courage to disobey Lord Mizuki's orders, so they had no choice but to draw their ninja swords and attack Uchiha Kagami quickly.

Uchiha Kagami subtly shifted his body, easily dodging the attacks of the two Mist Ninja. He then fired several kunai at them, but the two Mist Ninja quickly swung their ninja swords, deflecting the kunai and attacking Uchiha Kagami again. Uchiha Kagami quickly rose, constantly shifting left and right to dodge the attacks. Seeing that Uchiha Kagami hadn't unleashed that terrifying ninjutsu again, the remaining Mist Ninja boldly began to surround and attack him.

Uchiha Kagami's expression remained unchanged as he swiftly dodged among the several Mist Ninja, occasionally launching a counterattack. The two sides thus entered a stalemate of continuous exchanges.

During the taijutsu clash between Uchiha Kagami and the Mist Ninja, both sides sustained injuries. Uchiha Kagami had many slash wounds on his body, and blood was flowing out continuously, making his face even paler. Meanwhile, the Mist Ninja lost two more members.

Looking at the fallen Mist Ninja, Uchiha Kagami felt a pang of regret. Mizuki Gen still hadn't appeared, and the eye technique he had prepared for him probably couldn't be preserved. He was already at his limit, and if he still had the eye technique to deal with Mizuki Gen, these Mist Ninja might have killed him outright.

Uchiha Kagami immediately activated his Mangekyou Sharingan again, his gaze constantly sweeping over the several Mist Ninja attacking him. His right eye was directly aimed at the Mist Ninja, who stood motionless as if they had lost consciousness.

Uchiha Kagami swiftly stepped forward, his kunai cutting across the neck of the enemy. The Mist Ninja reacted instantly, clutching their throats with their hands, blood flowing rapidly between their fingers. They cried out in agony before collapsing to the ground, clearly beyond saving.

But as Uchiha Kagami slashed the throats of several Mist Ninja, several ice spikes came directly and swiftly from Uchiha Kagami's blind spot towards their vital points. Uchiha Kagami had just finished swinging his kunai and hadn't yet regained his balance when the ice spikes reached him.

Uchiha Kagami reacted very quickly, twisting his body to dodge, but this sudden attack had caused him great pain all over his body, so he could only try his best to avoid it.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!" Three ice spikes pierced through Uchiha Kagami's body, one of them even piercing his heart, causing blood to gush out continuously. Uchiha Kagami coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Looking at the fallen Uchiha Kagami, Mizuki finally managed a long-lost smile. He had used the remaining Kirigakure ninja to distract Uchiha Kagami, simultaneously depleting his chakra and forcing him to reveal his trump card.

"That Sharingan eye technique that was used on several Mist Ninja just now was probably prepared for me!"

Mizuki-hen emerged from behind the tree, looking at Uchiha Kagami lying motionless on the ground, and muttered to himself. Inwardly, however, he felt a surge of relief.

"Fortunately, I restrained myself from taking direct action. Even if it meant sacrificing all the Mist Ninja troops, as long as I could kill Uchiha Kagami and Shimura Danzo who was on the run, I would have made a huge contribution to the Mist Ninja Village, and the position of Mizukage would be rightfully mine."

"This useless Third Mizukage, apart from being very senior and having served as the First Mizukage's bodyguard, has no notable achievements. I, on the other hand, have directly killed Shimura Danzo, a high-ranking official of Konoha, as well as Uchiha Kagami, the most talented ninja of the Uchiha clan, and also retrieved the Kirigakure intelligence that Konoha had gathered."

"With such achievements, coupled with the support of my powerful Mizuki clan in Kirigakure, I can completely oust the current Third Mizukage, inherit the position myself, and make the Mizuki clan the true number one powerful clan in the Land of Water."

Thinking this, he quickly moved closer to Uchiha Kagami, preparing to seal the body directly. This was the corpse of the prestigious Uchiha clan, and the Sharingan of this person was completely different from the Sharingan he had encountered before. He would take it back and study it carefully, and perhaps he could find a way to counter the Sharingan.

With a smile on his lips, he approached Uchiha Kagami's corpse, took out a sealing scroll from his ninja tool pouch, and prepared to seal the body before him.

Suddenly, Uchiha Kagami braced himself on the ground with both hands, his left eye transforming into the Mangekyou Sharingan and pointing directly at Mizuki Gen. Mizuki Gen reacted swiftly, instantly conjuring a Senbon needle of ice and throwing it rapidly towards Kagami's left eye, attempting to interrupt his use of a dojutsu.

However, Uchiha Kagami neither dodged nor avoided, and directly activated his left eye technique.

"Kaleidoscope-Yellow Spring!"

All the chakra gathered within his body while he lay on the ground frantically converged towards his left eye, unleashing his dojutsu. However, the thrown senbon needles pierced directly through Uchiha Kagami's left eyeball.

"Bang!" The two bodies fell to the ground simultaneously.

The two consciousnesses were within the crimson space. Uchiha Kagami stood on the riverbank, watching Mizuki Kon struggle in the blood river. Whenever Mizuki Kon was about to break free, Uchiha Kagami on the bank would wave his hands, and the surrounding blood would transform into crimson hands that would pull him back into the blood river.

Clearly, Shui Wuyuehen lacked the strength to break free from the opponent's pupil technique and could only slowly have his consciousness dissolved by the river of blood.
