Chapter – 714 Sanzu-no-Kawa

Danzō's Susano'o is a complete body Susano'o with wings and all, moreover, the visual prowess of Danzō's Susano'o is also very high compared to Shisui, so whether it is strength or speed, everything is superior compared to other Susano'o.

Although Shisui has Hashirama Cells implanted in his body and he is using Senjutsu Chakra in Susano'o, at the end of the day, his Dojustu is just a Mangekyō Sharingan is not Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan unlike Danzō's, so no matter how much Visual Prowess he burst out, the strength of his Susano'o won't reach the same level as Danzō's.

Therefore, when fighting against Danzō, Shisui is at an obvious advantage, and the same is the case with Itachi whose case is only worse. Itachi may have Yata Mirror and Totsuka Sword, however, he has no Hashirama Cells implanted in his body at this point and has no understanding of Senjutsu, so not only is his Visual Prowess limited, even the highest form of Susano'o he can use is limited to half-body Armored Susano'o. At the same time, since Homusubi needs Danzō's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, so Itachi also can't use his Totsuka Sword to seal Danzō and deal with him at once.

BOOM!

As Danzō pressed Itachi more and more, his figure continuously bounced back and was barely restrained with the help of Yata Mirror.

Honestly speaking, Danzō was quite shocked at the defensive power of Yata Mirror, he did have some understanding of Totsuka Sword from the information his men collected during Akatsuki's Konoha Collapse Plan, however, when it came to Yata Mirror, they know nothing, so he was really surprised that despite having only a half-body armored Susano'o, the male Homusubi is able to sustain so long and hasn't collapsed yet!

At this time, with a sharp whistling sound, Tukihi's Susano'o dashed towards Danzō and fiercely slashed the Danzō's Susano'o with four Golden Chakra Swords burning with the golden flames of Oshimimi, "Go to hell!"

With the insight of his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Danzō was able to perceive the incoming attack, and quickly raised the claws of his Susano'o to shield against the Tsukihi's Swords.

Boom!

'Damn…!' Tsukihi cursed under her breath, the fact that despite facing a surprise attack, Danzō was able to react in time and defend against her slashes shows that he has really adapted to the use of Susano'o, and this made her nervous. In nervousness and desperation, Homusubi screamed "Haaaaaaaaaaa!" and added power strength to the arms of her Susano'o.

Crack… Shatter!

Her effort proved to be useful, as the Golden Flames of Oshimimi burnt brighter and burned through the claws of Danzō's susano'o as the sword cut through his chest.

BOOM!

Another thunderous impact resounded on the island!

"Bastard!" Danzō cursed in anger, his expression turned ruthless as he grabbed two arms of Tsukihi's Susano'o, and like a violent beast, he chomped on her Susano'o's neck area with the sharp fangs of his Susano'o.

In Danzō's opinion, perhaps only Homusubi stood a chance here to fight on even terms with him because she too––for some reason––possessed the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan just like him. Initially, he had planned to finish Shisui and the male Homusubi in quick shots, however, it doesn't seem to be so easy considering that the male Homusubi possesses some strange shield in his Susano'o that interrupted his rhythm and he had no choice but to shift his attention to female Homosubi.

Two Complete Body Susano'o––one flaming golden and the other blood red––scuffled together, shaking the entire Toto Island, causing the cracks to spread deep into the ground. The vibrations traveled to the oceans and caused giant waves to surge and bring Tsunami to Toto Island, further destroying the island.

As Tsukihi and Danzō fought, Itachi and Shisui took this chance to take deep breaths and then rejoined the battle. But unlike last time, this time they acted as the support for Tsukihi as she lead the offensive.

With Tsukihi in the front, Itachi and Shisui also had the chance to play and the three soon formed tacit cooperation.

A single Susano'o can cause so much damage to the surroundings, just imagine how much damage the Toto island must have sustained by now considering that four Susano'o are continuously fighting, no matter whether they are buildings, trees, mountains, or the ravines, all of them have been wiped out and only a barren land remain by now, even the island was slowly reaching the state of collapse with each passing second.

As the battle progressed, all the four Susano'o started to lose their power and regressed to previous states, dull and damaged… the Susano'o most damaged was undoubtedly Danzō's, it had lost all the limbs and was close to shattering completely.

Even in such adversity, contrary to being panicked, Danzō showed a crazy expression and shouted, "Do you think this is the end?! I am going to show you all the true power of the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

With his roar, a strange brilliance appeared on Danzō's right eye as it rotated and released a strange chakra, 'Sanzu-no-Kawa!'

Danzō finally used one of his Mangekyō Sharingan specific Dōjutsu, 'Sanzo-no-Kawa!'

Instantly, bloody red liquid started to emerge from the surroundings, the bloody liquid took the form of a bloody river and rushed towards the three Homusubi.

Tsukihi who was at the front immediately realized that they can't face this attack head-on, and quickly tried to retreat from the path of the river, however, even if she moved away from the path, the entire left arm of her Susano'o was still touched by 'Sanzo-no-Kawa'. As soon as that happened, the entire arm decayed rapidly and disappeared!

"The hell?!" taken aback, Tsukihi hurriedly warned Shisui and Itachi, "Both of you, be careful… is this bloody river so much as touch us, we will decay!"

Both Shisui and Itachi are sharp-minded individuals, even if Tsukihi didn't warn them, they were able to sense the danger the moment they witnessed the arm of her Susano'o decay, although shocked at such a power, they didn't waste any time and quickly retreated backward.

Seeing the three retreating in panic and fear, Danzō laughed out loudly, "Hahaha!" he controlled the bloody river to surround himself and shouted, "Do you see that? My Dojustu 'Sanzu-no-Kawa' is capable of decaying anything it touches… this is not just a name, this is the real river crossing from the Yomi! No one can escape from it!"

Amidst unbridled laughter, Danzō controlled the river to launch a non-stop offensive.

As the blood-red water approached them, a solemn expression appeared on the faces of three Homusubi, after taking a deep breath, Tsukihi looked at Shisui and Itachi then started to weave hand signs and spewed out Golden flames at the incoming bloody river… the golden flame did momentarily stop the river as golden flames tried to burn the chakra of the bloody river and bloody river tried to decay the chakra of golden flames.

Danzō was surprised that the female Homusubi was able to fight against 'Sanzo-no-Kawa' and further increased the visual prowess input.

Immediately, the bloody river started to overpower the golden flames!

Itachi noted that Tsukihi was falling in an advantage, so after taking a deep breath, he quickly gathered chakra in his right Mangekyō Sharingan and burst out, 'Amaterasu!' 

At the same time, Shisui weaved hand signs and spewed out flames, 'Sage Art: Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!' the Sennin Chakra carrying fire burned white as it rushed towards the bloody river. The white and black flames combined with the golden flames and together fought against the blood-red river of death.
