Chapter 36: Susanoo Skeleton (Ch 36)

Chapter 36 Skeleton Version of Susanoo

While the people around him were dodging Fire Release, Uchiha Shisui was just about to jump out of the encirclement. Just as he was about to exert force with his feet, he felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from his feet. Shisui could only take a few steps and had to stop.

Because of this delay, many Root members who had just jumped away to avoid the fire escape came over again.

Seeing that he had lost the best chance of escape, Uchiha Shisui calmed down instead, endured the heart-wrenching pain in his feet, reached out and pulled out the katana behind him, held it upright in front of him, and looked determinedly at Shimura Danzo who had been sitting on the stone chair from the beginning.

Although there were beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead due to the pain, and the sweat flowed across his forehead and into his eyes, causing some pain in his eyes, Uchiha Shisui still did not dare to blink and concentrated on holding the katana in his hand.

Seeing that Uchiha Shisui was trapped inside and had no way to escape, Danzo smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand, asking his men to suspend the attack:

“Uchiha Shisui, you should know that you have no choice now. Obey me and accept the Root Curse Seal. My promise is still valid, and I will mediate the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village. So, for the sake of your clan, Uchiha Shisui, you choose to accept it. If you don’t accept it, even if you escape by luck, you will still be poisoned to death by the poison my men have just given you. To be frank, the Root Curse Seal cannot be broken even by Tsunade Senju, one of the Three Ninjas.”

Uchiha Shisui felt the poison slowly spreading upwards from his feet, but he was not bewitched by Danzo. He still stared at Danzo, “Don’t underestimate the Uchiha clan, and don’t underestimate me, Uchiha Shisui. I am the Instant Body Shisui. If you want to kill me, you must be prepared to be attacked by me. As a member of the Uchiha clan, I have the pride of the Uchiha clan. There are only Uchiha who died in battle, but there is no Uchiha Shisui who kneels.”

When Danzo Shimura heard what Shisui said, he knew there was no way to convince him. If he was not afraid that Uchiha Shisui would counterattack before his death and destroy his Mangekyō Sharingan, Danzo would not have wasted his breath.

Seeing that Uchiha Shisui had already made up his mind to die, Shimura Danzo didn’t waste any more words: “Kill him.”

The Root members who were originally around Uchiha Shisui heard Danzo’s order and did not hesitate any more and rushed directly towards Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui knew that he could not escape this time, but as long as he had promised something to others, he would try his best to fulfill it.

Since I have already promised Uchiha Qiushan, even if I die, I must leave him an intact body and do my best to fulfill my promise.

What’s more, Danzo Shimura, don’t underestimate me, Shisui, who can instantly transform.

Just as more than a dozen Root members around him rushed over with weapons in their hands, Uchiha Shisui began to use all his strength to activate his Mangekyō Sharingan. The Mangekyō Sharingan spun faster and faster. When the Root members were about to pounce on Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Shisui only felt a sharp pain coming from his eyes. The degree of pain was much more painful than the pain in his feet. Even Uchiha Shisui couldn’t help but howl loudly.

And just when his eyes were in severe pain, a special power emerged uncontrollably from the Mangekyō Sharingan, and in an instant enveloped Uchiha Shisui, and easily swept away all the enemies around him.

When Uchiha Shisui easily swept away the people who were besieging him, Shimura Danzo finally could not sit still anymore. He stood up from the stone chair and stared at Uchiha Shisui, or to be more precise, at a huge skeleton that was glowing green and surrounding Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui finally couldn’t hold on any longer. He half-knelt on the ground, gasping for breath. He held the sword in one hand and covered his eyes with the other, trying to ease the pain in his eyes, but it didn’t work at all. A small stream of blood flowed out from between the fingers covering his eyes.

The huge green skeleton formed by Uchiha Shisui’s Mangekyō Sharingan seemed to emerge from the void. It had no fulcrum, but it protected Uchiha Shisui firmly inside.

At this moment, Danzo Shimura only had this green skeleton in his eyes. He stared at it with fascination, muttering to himself, “Susanoo, the divine power of the Uchiha clan’s Mangekyō Sharingan, and the ultimate weapon of Uchiha Madara. It disappeared with the death of Uchiha Madara. Unexpectedly, it finally appeared again after so many years. Although it is only the lowest version, it still reveals a sharp edge that makes people feel impressed.”

If we were to ask who knows the Uchiha clan best, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, would definitely be one of them. As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy.

The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan have been enemies for thousands of years since they were passed down from Indra and Apollo, and have been fighting endlessly for thousands of years. As the patriarch and the intelligent person of the Senju clan, how could Tobirama Senju not understand the Uchiha clan.

As a disciple of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, although Tobirama Senju did not teach him the secrets of the Uchiha clan, after Tobirama Senju died in battle, Danzo Shimura learned some of the Uchiha clan’s secrets about the Sharingan from the information left behind by Tobirama Senju.

Because he understands, he yearns for it; because he yearns for it, he is obsessed with it. That’s why Danzo Shimura has always been obsessed with the Sharingan.

But at this time, Uchiha Shisui’s situation was very bad, because the poison he was poisoned with had no antidote. This poison was essentially the nano-level poisonous insects of Aburame Tone, Shimura Danzo’s right-hand man.

The nano-level poisonous insects of Aburame Togen are unique even in the Aburame clan, the largest insect-controlling clan in the ninja world. Due to the small size of the poisonous insects, Uchiha Shisui was poisoned unknowingly. If Danzo had not instructed him to control it mainly to limit Shisui’s mobility, Uchiha Shisui would have died long ago. Moreover, this poisonous insect can only be controlled by Aburame Togen, so Danzo Shimura would make such a bold statement, saying that even Tsunade Senju would have no way to deal with it.

At this time, the poisonous insects had already eaten away his feet to his knees. Uchiha Shisui knew that if he didn’t find a solution, he would really die here.

Uchiha Shisui looked at the sternum surrounding him, and with a thought, two arms and hands with only bones left suddenly appeared around Uchiha Shisui.

Danzo Shimura, who had been observing the bone version of Susanoo, immediately changed his calm expression when he saw the skeleton arm appear, and shouted, “Stop him!”
