Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

Chapter 528: Grudge of the Dead Part-2

As opposed to Fugaku, Akira, and Kagami, are having an easier time on the battlefield.

Unlike Fugaku's opponents, who are mostly the experienced elders of the clans; their opponents lack experience.

Also, both Akira's and Yagami's Mangekyo abilities are a perfect counter to the situation.

Swoosh…

Occasionally, a veiled transparent figure with a scythe will appear behind Akira. Every time, the veiled Shinigami's scythe hits a weakened Edo body, it will harvest their soul and seal it to another dimension; thus dispelling the Edo Tensei.

Also, the veiled Shinigami is immune to physical and ninjutsu attacks. Akira battles with these Edo soldiers. After sufficiently exhausting them, the veiled Shinigami will deal the fatal blow and seal them away.

Over the past few years, his control over his Mangekyo ability has improved vastly.

Initially, he could only summon this Shinigami for only thirty seconds and even then it would drain all his chakra. However, after Izuna's suggestion and his training; he can summon the Shinigami for a prolonged duration.

Even then, he found a method to maximize the efficiency. The Shinigami's attacks have a certain death effect on weakened enemies. And much so against enemies with no actual body. Also, the scythe of Shinigami has a certain attribute that allows it to cut through almost any substance; be it any barrier, metal, or ninjutsu? The scythe can even cut through the Amaterasu flames, much to Izuna's surprise. After much testing, he concluded that this Shinigami is a unique being, and the scythe is a powerful artifact.

However, this ability is also quite chakra-taxing. So, Izuna and Akira found a way around it. Akira will summon the Shinigami for a few seconds to land a finishing blow and then immediately desummon him to preserve the chakra. josei

Also, other than the Shinigami, Akira is also able to wield the Death Scythe in battle. Though, it's not as effective as the Shinigami.

Akira extends his hand and the veiled Shinigami passes the Scythe to him.

Swish… swish…

He wields the scythe and cleaves several white zetsu around him in half. Akira continues to battle and seal the elite Edo members of the Uchiha clan.

On Yagami's side, one of his Mangekyo abilities allows him to manipulate the body of any shinobi in front of him like a marionette for a while. This ability is even able to rewrite the control of Edo Tensei for a little while. Though this ability is quite chakra taxing.

The Edo elders frown after noticing Akira and Yagami's Mangekyo Sharingans. Rage slowly clouds their senses.

"The entire Konoha would be ours if you people didn't hide your abilities."

Shoom… Shoom…

Several kunai, shurikens, swords, blades, and other weapons fly out of the hands of shinobis in the Elder's vicinity. A white seal appears on the blades as the elder controls them to attack Fugaku, Akira, and Yagami at the same time.

"Amaterasu!"

Black flames flicker in Fugaku's vision. The flames burn through a major portion of the weapons. However, more weapons fill their position.

Ding… ding…

A red skeletal ribcage surrounds Fugaku and blocks the relentless attacks of weapons. Similar, deep blue and cyan skeletal rib cages encase Akira's and Yagami's bodies and block the attacks.

"Susanoo!"

The eyes of the Edo elder narrow as he recognizes the technique.

Shiing…

Blood leaks from both of his eyes as he uses the ability of his left eye.

"Futsunushi-no-Mikoto,"

Cracks appear on the elder's body as it's unable to withstand the overload of chakra.

Large amount of chakra infuses into the weapons besides the elder. Several weapons shimmer with a bright red glow and fuse together to produce luminous deep red chakra weapons.

If Izuna was here, he would recognize these deep red chakra weapons as one of the techniques of the Otsutsuki clan. These deep red weapons possess a similar nature to Kinshiki, Momoshiki, and Urashiki's chakra weapons.

In the past, Izuna did extensive research on the nature of Sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan's abilities. Sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan are unique Dojutsu that only manifest within the progeny of the Otsutsuki clan with the members of the lower life forms from other worlds.

The members of the Otsutsuki clan don't train extensively like other mortals. Powerful divine techniques are sealed within their body since their birth as part of their heritage. To raise the power and proficiency of their techniques, the Otsutsuki clan members consume the Origin energy of other worlds.

Consuming origin energy from other worlds not only raises their lifeform to a higher form but also allows them to increase the mastery of their divine technique or Shinjutsu to the next level. This significantly increases the power of their techniques.

Now, since the Uchiha clan members are also the descendants of the Otsutsuki clan, they also possess the inherent divine techniques within their bloodline. The members with dilute the Uchiha bloodline are unable to awaken their sharingan and thus are unable to access the divine technique within their bloodline.

However, if an Uchiha member awakens the Mangekyo Sharingan, the divine technique manifests within their eyes as part of their Dojutsu ability. Although their proficiency in this divine technique is of the lowest degree. However, once a bloodline reaches the proximity of the Otsutsuki bloodline; a more powerful divine technique will awaken. This is the case for Rinnegan and Tenseigan, where the abilities of both Dojutsu are almost on par with the Divine techniques of the Otsutsuki clan members.

Not only that, even the Ninjutsu techniques used by every shinobi are a watered-down version of the various Divine techniques.

Izuna already confirmed this fact with the Sage of Six Paths. The latter revealed that after awakening his Rinnegan, various memories related to mastery of every chakra nature appeared in his mind. Using these memories as a base, he created the Ninshu and later shared his chakra with the rest of humanity.

Back on the battlefield,

A sense of trepidation rises in Fugaku, Akira, and Yagami's hearts after witnessing the deep red chakra weapons floating behind the Edo elder.

"Die!"

The Edo elder's body shatters into countless motes of light as he fires these weapons toward the Uchiha trio.

A fragment of memory flashes in the elder's mind as he recalls an event from the past.

A bloody figure with several wounds and lacerations on his body turns towards him with a smile.

"Itami, I will buy you some time."

"No, Fukashi, I can't…" The elder Itami holds the injured Fukashi's hands.

Shiing…

The tomoes in Fukashi's eyes merge together to form a rhombus pattern. Itami's eyes widen in shock at the sight of Fukashi's eyes.

HAAH…

Fukashi clenches his fists and infuses his entire chakra into both of his eyes. Tears of blood drip from both Fukashi's eyes as he activates the ability of both his eyes.

Shoom…

The weapons of hundred of shinobis in front of them fly out of their control and float in the air.

HAAH…

Fukashi's chakra vessels and blood vessels rupture from the extreme overload of his chakra. Numerous wounds and lacerations appear all over his body as he directs the entirety of his chakra toward the floating weapons.

The chakra infuses with several weapons to form two gigantic blood-red chakra blades with a palpable aura.

HAAH…

Fukashi claps his hands and, with the last vestiges of his fading will, he directs the chakra blades towards the small army in front of him.

BOOM…

A powerful explosion shrouds the battlefield as Fukashi's body falls into Itami's embrace.

"Itami, destroy my eyes to prevent them from falling into the enemy's hands."

With these words, Fukashi breathes his last.

Shoom…

The three deep red chakra blades fly toward the Uchiha trio at an incredible speed.

Bang…

The blades slam into their Susanoo and instantly several cracks appear on the ribcage of the Susanoo.

The expression of the trio tenses up. A feeling of overwhelming danger clutches their heart. They clench their teeth and infuse every last reserve of their chakra into their Susanoo to transform it into the next stage.

Crack… crack…

However, their efforts are to no avail. The powerful corrosive property of the blade slowly destroys their Susanoo and closes up on them.

"Are we going to die here?"

Yagami, Fugaku, and Akira glance at each other.

"Even if it's so, we won't go out without a battle."

Haah…

The three of them rile up their chakra. The bracelet on each of their blade emits a faint light and strengthens their Susanoo.

The deep red chakra blade meets stronger resistance from the trio as their will to fight pushes them past their limit.

Their Susanoo, which was slowly crumbling into fragments, suddenly gain an additional source of chakra and evolve further into a full-body Tengu Susanoo.

After losing most of its energy, the dark red chakra weapons disperse into motes of light. The powerful defenses of a full-body Susanoo are strong enough to withstand the force of a weak divine technique.

Phew…

The Uchiha trio heaves a sigh of relief. Their Susanoo disperses as they don't have an iota of chakra in their body.

Whoosh…

Suddenly, a figure flickers in front of them.

"Leave the rest to me!"

The trio closes their eyes after glancing at the assuring back.
