Chapter 106: The God of Different Heaven - Radiance

In the forest clearing.

"Hey, that not-so-bright-looking guy next to Uchiha Shisui, that's Guruguru, the one Madara is looking for, right?"

"Correct, once we hand over Guruguru to Madara, our mission will be complete."

Sasori and Orochimaru were discussing.

Suddenly.

Under their surprised gaze.

Guruguru hurriedly took off his Uchiha robe and mask, carefully placed his clothes and shoes aside, then quickly expanded his body, wrapping it around Shisui.

Shisui was covered from the neck down.

After donning Guruguru, Shisui's originally slender body suddenly became much stronger.

"Is this the power of possession?"

Shisui murmured, feeling his body filled with strength, light and warm.

Moreover, his eyes no longer hurt, and his ocular power was rapidly recovering.

At this moment Shisui had never felt so powerful.

"Shisui, beat those two guys up!" Guruguru shouted in his mind.

Shisui smiled slightly at his words: "No problem."

As soon as his words fell.

He took a step forward, and the Mangekyō Sharingan was activated once again.

Sasori, looking interested, studied Shisui, stroking his chin and said:

"I've heard of the name 'Shisui the Teleporter'. I've decided to make him into a human puppet, he might become another one of my masterpieces."

After saying this, he took out a scroll and summoned his puppet, Hiruko.

Orochimaru, however, stopped Sasori with a stretch of his hand:

"Shisui's Sharingan is mine, don't fight me for it."

He had long heard rumors of the Mangekyō Sharingan, knowing it was a pair of eyes superior to the three-tomoe Sharingan, naturally, he coveted it.

The Mangekyō, although not as good as Pain's Rinnegan, was worth his personal effort to snatch.

So, Orochimaru licked his lips and made his move.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

A large number of poisonous snakes flew out from his sleeve, biting towards Shisui, who was several meters away.

Hidden Shadow Snake Hands.

This was Orochimaru's signature jutsu, summoning poisonous snakes from one of the three great Sage regions, Ryūchi Cave. These snakes were stronger and smarter than ordinary snakes.

Their attack methods varied, either coiling or biting. Often, the enemy hadn't reacted yet, and they would be bound.

Just as Shisui was about to be hit.

Whoosh.

The figure of him standing in place suddenly split into two, dodging the attack of the Hidden Shadow Snake Hands.

Then.

Two became four, four became eight, eight became sixteen...

In the forest clearing, sixty-four clones of Shisui quickly appeared, heavily surrounding Orochimaru and Sasori.

With the boost of Guruguru's chakra.

The number of clones Shisui created with the Body Flicker Technique broke records.

He even felt that doubling the number of clones was not a problem, but there was no need for it.

With a thought in Shisui's mind.

All the clones made synchronized movements, drawing the small katana from their backs, pointing the cold, gleaming blade at the two members of Akatsuki.

Sasori said nothing, hiding inside Hiruko.

"So this is the Body Flicker Technique, it doesn't look easy to deal

with."

Orochimaru muttered to himself, his golden snake eyes sharply scanning the clones of Shisui, but he couldn't find any flaws.

The next second.

All of Shisui's clones rushed forward, launching an attack on Orochimaru and Sasori.

Due to Guruguru's possession.

Not only could Shisui create more clones, but his own strength and speed also greatly increased, allowing him to seamlessly switch between the sixty-four clones.

This made it difficult for the enemy to defend against his attacks.

However.

Orochimaru and Sasori, both of whom were pursuing the path to immortality, were not ordinary people.

Hiruko's shell had strong defense.

Sasori hid inside, controlling a steel scorpion tail to sweep and attack, while constantly launching various hidden weapons from his mouth to resist the army of Shisui's clones.

Orochimaru also opened his mouth and set up the "Many Hidden Shadow Snake Hands", summoning a swarm of snakes to spread across the forest clearing, integrating offense and defense.

In the midst of the fierce battle.

Whoosh.

Shisui seized an opportunity, teleported behind Orochimaru, and swiftly stabbed out with his blade, instantly piercing the latter's heart.

Did he succeed?

Just as Shisui had this thought, he was surprised to find that Orochimaru, like nothing had happened, turned his head 180 degrees on his neck.

He turned around and bit towards Shisui's neck.

Orochimaru had modified his own body to be as flexible and agile as a snake, hiding his vital points, not as easy to kill as ordinary ninjas.

However.

His counterattack did not succeed, because Shisui had once again activated the Body Flicker Technique, leaving only an illusion without any mass or physical form in place.

On the other side.

Just after Shisui attacked Orochimaru, he moved to Sasori's back, taking advantage of the latter's lack of reaction—

He raised his small katana and slashed through the air.

Uchiha Style: Gale Sword.

Whoosh.

A huge, semi-circular blade of fire, lighting up the dark forest, heavily slashed onto the large body of Hiruko.

With sparks flying.

Hiruko's right arm flew into the air, and its entire body rolled back several times on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.

By this time.

The Akatsuki duo, who had been at a disadvantage, finally realized that Shisui's strength exceeded their expectations.

"Hey, the two of us teamed up and we're being suppressed by a Uchiha kid. If this gets out, it's going to be quite embarrassing."

Sasori shouted at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru chuckled, looking out...

Sasori, who seemed to be slacking off and not wanting to exert any effort, unceremoniously mocked his partner: "Take your broken puppet and get out of the way, just don't hinder me."

After saying this, he walked towards Shisui, clearly ready to get serious.

Shisui also activated the Body Flicker Technique again, attacking Orochimaru.

But just at that moment.

Sasori's eyes flashed, and he suddenly manipulated Hiruko to raise its left arm, and with a whoosh, fired a cannon at the center of the clearing.

"Boom!"

The cannon exploded at its highest point, scattering into numerous cylinders.

And on those cylinders, there were densely packed poison needles, which were instantly shot in all directions as the cylinders scattered.

For a moment.

Countless poison needles, like a heavy rain, enveloped the entire forest clearing.

Ninja Art: Thousand Hands of Righteousness.

This was a terrifying ninjutsu that used mechanical devices to gather thousands of poison needles together, then exploded like a shotgun.

Within the range of this jutsu, the enemy was hit by a poison needle, the chance of poisoning was one hundred percent.

This move was an indiscriminate attack that did not distinguish between friend and foe.

So.

The first to bear the brunt was Orochimaru.

"Sasori!"

Facing his partner's sneak attack, he was shocked and angry.

But Orochimaru's reaction was also quick, he immediately summoned a large snake to wrap around himself, sacrificing a summoning beast to help him block all the poison needles.

What a pity.

Sasori saw this scene and shook his head.

His plan to take the opportunity to kill Orochimaru had failed again.

Whoosh.

Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique to successfully dodge Sasori's attack, and also figured out some clues.

These two Akatsuki guys, are they still fighting amongst themselves at this time?

The next second.

He deactivated the Body Flicker Technique.

After some probing.

Shisui also realized that if he wanted to kill the two Akatsuki members in front of him, relying solely on conventional means might not be enough.

Indeed, he would have to use the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Just as he was thinking this.

"Ah, a good opportunity." Orochimaru saw Shisui voluntarily deactivate the Body Flicker Technique and was overjoyed. He temporarily put aside his grudge with Sasori and rushed towards Shisui without hesitation.

Whoosh.

His lower body was still standing in place, and his upper body was instantly ejected, like a stretched noodle.

In the blink of an eye, he killed Shisui, like a python, tightly wrapping the latter's body.

"Uchiha Shisui, I'll take your eyes without being polite."

Orochimaru smiled wickedly, taking advantage of Shisui's inability to move, he reached out to dig out the latter's eyes.

In response, a hint of mockery flashed in Shisui's eyes, and the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly erupted.

Just then, Orochimaru's fingers stopped when they were only a centimeter away from Shisui's eyes. The next instant he suddenly felt dizzy, and then his entire consciousness was pulled into a vast illusionary space.

"Where is this..." Orochimaru squinted his eyes, knowing that he was under an illusion, but he was not flustered.

As the most proud disciple of "Ninja Professor" Hiruzen Sarutobi, Orochimaru inherited his teacher's mantle, mastering all forms of ninjutsu, including genjutsu, with no weaknesses.

A ninja is someone who learns and utilizes all the ninjutsu in the world.

This was Orochimaru's ideal.

So he had long conducted systematic research on genjutsu, especially on how to break it, which naturally included the Sharingan's genjutsu.

Orochimaru had also fought with strong members of the Uchiha clan.

Most people would try to avoid eye contact with the Sharingan to avoid falling under genjutsu, but Orochimaru was different.

He preferred to actively enter the Uchiha's genjutsu and break it, thus achieving a complete victory.

Just like now.

Orochimaru looked around, took a step forward, ready to find the weak point of this illusionary space.

However.

He only then realized that his consciousness was unable to drive his body, and he was completely trapped in place, unable to move.

This was an unprecedented situation.

Is the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan this strong?

Orochimaru was not surprised but delighted, and his desire for Shisui's eyes grew even stronger.

Tap tap tap.

A series of footsteps came.

Shisui slowly walked out of the darkness and came to Orochimaru.

He looked down from above, with a face of pity:

"Give up struggling. Here I can control everything, no power can contend with this genjutsu."

As soon as his voice fell.

In Orochimaru's horrified gaze.

Shisui's body grew infinitely tall, and a huge blood-red moon rose behind him. Inside the moon was the shape of his Mangekyō Sharingan - a four-cornered shuriken.

Different Heaven God: Radiance.

This genjutsu was a new way of using the power of the Different Heaven God that Shisui had recently understood.

Thump.

Under the immense pressure of the spirit, Orochimaru knelt on the ground.

"You..."

He looked up at Shisui in horror, for the first time feeling the breath of death so close.

Shisui looked at Orochimaru again, his Mangekyō Sharingan seeing through everything, and said indifferently:

"Your soul has weaknesses, your spiritual power is much weaker than I thought. Maybe I shouldn't waste the Different Heaven God, a regular Mangekyō genjutsu would be enough to deal with you."

Orochimaru was greatly humiliated.

But before he could get angry, he saw golden pillars of light descending from the sky, turning the earth into dust.

Orochimaru, was engulfed in the radiance of the Different Heaven God.
