Naruto: Cultivating to Immortality

Chapter 65 Kaleidoscope Eye Technique

The Mist Ninja rushed frantically towards the gap, blocking the Leaf Village's escape.

Uchiha Kagami swiftly maneuvered his giant sword, continuously swinging it towards the gap to repel the Mist ninja's attempts to block it. The Konoha ninja, after defeating the Mist ninja, immediately followed Uchiha Kagami and charged forward.

Seeing the heavy casualties among the Mist Ninja, Mizuki Hen didn't wait for the Uchiha to tire themselves out. Instead, he quickly moved towards the gap and stood in front of the Konoha ninja.

Looking at the imposing giant warrior wielding his massive sword, Mizuki Kon's expression turned solemn. He gritted his teeth, frantically gathered his chakra, quickly formed hand seals, and charged fiercely towards Uchiha Kagami.

"Ice Release - Ice Dragon Technique!"

The surrounding moisture quickly gathered and then condensed, directly forming a huge ice dragon no smaller than a half-body warrior. Shui Wuyuehen stood directly on the top of the ice dragon's head and suddenly waved his hand.

"Roar!" The ice dragon roared as it charged rapidly toward Uchiha Kagami's samurai. Its massive body emitted a ghostly blue light, turning the moisture in the surrounding air into wisps of mist, giving the giant ice dragon the feeling of soaring through the clouds.

Uchiha Kagami was also somewhat surprised to see this scene, but without much hesitation, he swung his giant sword at the huge ice dragon, preparing to cut it in two.

Seeing the giant sword swinging towards him, Mizuki clenched his fists together and channeled his chakra. The ice dragon instantly became more agile, twisting its body swiftly just as the giant sword was about to strike. Its massive form dodged the swinging sword and continued charging towards Uchiha Kagami at undiminished speed.

Uchiha Kagami dared not be careless, controlling the samurai to continue rapidly slashing at the giant ice dragon. The ice dragon, seemingly possessing sentience, twisted its body, quickly dodging the incoming giant sword.

Finally, the giant ice dragon crashed heavily into the samurai.

"Boom!" The warrior was knocked back more than ten meters by the ice dragon, and many cracks appeared on his armor, but the ice dragon still did not completely break through his defenses. Ice shards kept falling from the ice dragon's body, clearly indicating that the attack had also caused great damage to it.

However, as if by unspoken agreement, both sides quickly mobilized their chakra to recover from the damage caused by the previous collision.

In fact, Mizuki knew that he had been at a disadvantage in the collision. Even though he had used most of his chakra to create the Ice Dragon Ninjutsu, it was still no match for the opponent's hardness. But now, only he could block the opponent's ninjutsu. Other Mist Ninja would only lose their lives in vain in the face of a ninjutsu of this level.

Moreover, Mizuki Hen already felt that the meridians inside his body were being frostbitten. If he continued to use this ninjutsu, the cold air from the ice dragon would continue to erode his meridians, making them very fragile, and his strength would decrease significantly afterward.

However, Uchiha Kagami was also secretly complaining. Using Susanoo at this level was extremely taxing and put pressure on his entire body. Now, every cell in his body felt a stinging sensation, and the most serious pain was in his eyes. If a ninja with weak willpower had given up using it long ago, the pain would have been unbearable. Moreover, his vision seemed to be constantly declining.

Neither side gave up. Uchiha Kagami once again wielded the giant sword at the ice dragon, while Mizuki once again manipulated the ice dragon to dodge before charging towards the samurai.

The ice dragon abruptly dodged the massive, dark yellow sword that was swung at it, and lunged forward. This time, instead of directly colliding with the half-samurai form that Uchiha Kagami had conjured, it fiercely coiled around the samurai. Mizuki had concluded from the previous impact that his ice dragon's attack couldn't directly break through Uchiha Kagami's defenses. Now, he decided to use the ice dragon's body to wrap around the samurai, restricting his movement and attacks while simultaneously allowing the ice dragon's chilling aura to penetrate the half-samurai's defenses and directly affect Uchiha Kagami's body. This would cause the opponent to be directly corroded by the chilling aura, slowing down his chakra circulation and limiting his powerful attacks. The goal was to cripple him.

The ice dragon coiled tightly around the half-samurai, its chilling aura relentlessly eroding Uchiha Kagami. Kagami immediately sensed danger; the chilling aura seeped into his body, slowing his chakra flow and weakening his resistance. Seeing the grimace and pain on his opponent's face, he knew the pressure of using such a powerful ninjutsu was immense. Now it was a matter of who would give in first.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate, each hoping to break the other's hold and end the release of their ninjutsu.

Hyuga Kanan, witnessing this scene from afar, was filled with envy. This kind of ninjutsu, which directly mobilized the energy of heaven and earth, was something he could only use after breaking through to the Innate Realm. He could only manipulate it and create various techniques by learning and understanding some of the world's rules. Unlike ninjas, who, as long as they could use chakra, could directly utilize fragments of the world's rules by borrowing the spiritual will within chakra to unleash various ninjutsu.

Watching the fierce battle, Hyuga Kanan now had a rough assessment of the strength of Kage-level ninjas. It seemed that after breaking through to Kage level, they all received the blessing of the Sage of Six Paths' possession of a portion of the world's will. Through the fragments of will within their chakra, those who broke through to Kage level could more easily manipulate that part of the world's rules, allowing them to more easily use and unleash ninjutsu based on those rules. No wonder that once someone broke through to Kage level, even if a Jonin had abundant chakra, numerous ninjutsu techniques, rich experience, and possessed a bloodline limit, they would still be suppressed or even killed when encountering a Kage-level ninja.

However, this enhancement is limited.

For powerful figures like the three legendary Sannin of Konoha who have only recently broken through to the Kage level, a few experienced Jonin can hold them off. With just one or two more elite Jonin, they can completely suppress the opponent.

However, considering that these are Kage-level ninjas with bloodline enhancements, their strength must be several levels higher. Relying on Jonin would no longer be able to harm them at all. The only option is to keep wearing them down, using lives to delay them, and ideally, wear them down to death.

The difference in strength between these individuals is enormous, even greater than the difference between Jonin and Genin.

Now that the two are locked in a stalemate, it will be a bloodbath for the Konoha ninjas. The number of Mist Ninjas far exceeds that of the Konoha ninjas. Without the powerful ninja Uchiha Kagami to break through the enemy's encirclement, Konoha will immediately fall into a dead end.

As more and more Konoha ninjas were surrounded and killed by Kirigakure ninjas, the number of Konoha team members suddenly decreased, and the pressure became even greater. It seemed that the entire team was about to be wiped out and forced to leave the battlefield.

Seeing this, Uchiha Kagami knew he couldn't continue the stalemate with Mizuki Hen. Clearly, he didn't have the strength to defeat him directly, and his goal wasn't to defeat him, but to break the encirclement of the Konoha ninja and create a path for their successful retreat.

Uchiha Kagami no longer cared whether his Sharingan could withstand the strain. While continuing to use Susanoo, he rapidly spun his right Mangekyou Sharingan, focusing his gaze on the Waterless Moon Mark atop the Ice Dragon Head, and quickly activated the Mangekyou Sharingan's exclusive eye technique.

"Kaleidoscope - Spider Lily!"

From afar, Hyuga Kanan could clearly see through his Byakugan that countless spiritual energies mixed with massive fragments of will surged from Uchiha's right eye, frantically rushing towards Mizuki's eye.

Suddenly, as if losing control, the ice dragon that was coiling around the half-body warrior began to disintegrate and shatter, and Mizuki fell directly from the top of the ice dragon to the ground.

He lay on the ground as if unconscious, and did not launch another attack.

Blood tears streamed from Uchiha Kagami's right eye, his expression one of even greater pain. But without pausing, he launched a direct attack on the Mist Ninja surrounding the Konoha ninja, intending to break through their encirclement on his own and create an opportunity for the Konoha team to retreat.

The dark yellow giant sword slammed down on the Mist Ninja who were preparing to besiege the Konoha team. Instantly, several Mist Ninja were shattered by the giant sword, revealing huge gaps.

The Konoha squad is now down to only three members, including the heavily wounded Danzo Shimura. Many Konoha squad members died protecting Danzo, otherwise the casualties wouldn't have been so high so quickly. Yet, the Konoha ninja squad still selflessly sacrificed themselves to protect Danzo. These elite Konoha ninjas knew how important Danzo was to Konoha and couldn't abandon him easily.

Seeing that Uchiha Kagami had broken through the Mist Ninja squad surrounding them, he immediately came to their side. Uchiha Kagami quickly manipulated the samurai to wield the giant earth sword and kept swinging it to force back the Mist Ninja who were preparing to pursue the Konoha team.

Hyuga Kanan, witnessing Uchiha Kagami's outburst, gained a deeper understanding of the Uchiha clan's Sharingan. He didn't know the nature of the eye technique released from his right eye, but its effect was incredibly powerful. The fact that it could directly defeat Mizuki Gen, an opponent of similar level to Uchiha Kagami, proved that this eye technique was far from simple.

"As expected of a clan descended from the Sage of Six Paths, this bloodline artifact is indeed extraordinary. It can directly deal with opponents of the same level, and even directly defeat them."

Hyuga Kanan was secretly astonished. The strength of this bloodline artifact was impressive even to a cultivator like himself. How powerful would the original owner, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, be when using this artifact?

At this moment, the encirclement of the Mist Ninja had been broken by Uchiha Kagami's powerful strength. The remaining Konoha personnel had escaped through the gap, but the Mist Ninja clearly had no intention of giving up and were in hot pursuit. Uchiha Kagami had no choice but to stay behind to block the pursuing Mist Ninja and buy time for the Konoha personnel to retreat.

At this moment, Shui Wuyuehen, who had fallen unconscious, stood up again, but her face was extremely pale, making her already beautiful face look pitiful.

But Shui Wuyuehen's eyes were very serious at this moment, and at the same time, they revealed a trace of horror. Just now, he had no power to resist the attack and his consciousness was directly shattered. If it weren't for his freezing power erupting in that place, he would probably have been completely immersed in it and unable to wake up.
