Flower of the Celestial Origin

Chapter 158 Purple Susanoo

On the Leaf side, upon learning that Naruto and Kakashi had secretly gone to plead with the Raikage, Sakura, recalling Tsunade’s difficult position, made up her mind to personally kill Sasuke. She then found Hinata and Kiba, asking for their help in finding Sasuke.

...

After the Kage Summit, the unified attendees decided to hide Naruto and Killer Bee. Naruto would learn to control the power of the Tailed Beasts alongside Killer Bee, preventing Naruto from participating in the ninja war.

On her way back, Tsunade encountered Naruto and his companions. Tsunade wanted to be angry but didn't want Naruto to know too much. She therefore explained the Raikage's stance on Sasuke's matter, saying everything was fine now and urging Naruto to return obediently.

The Raikage also found the unconscious Killer Bee, with a Samehada sword beside him. Darui conveniently took both Samehada and Killer Bee away.

...

"Wind Style: Vacuum Wave!"

Danzo took a deep breath and exhaled a wind blade, intending to kill Sasuke before him. After killing Sasuke, he would use the Edo Tensei body to deal with Li Xing.

However, Sasuke now possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, meeting the conditions to activate Susanoo. Seeing Danzo not responding, Sasuke attacked directly. He immediately activated Susanoo, and a purple skeleton appeared around his body, blocking Danzo's attack.

However, Sasuke’s body trembled slightly upon activating Susanoo, clearly unable to bear the cost.

"Is this Sasuke's Susanoo? Karin, how does it compare to yours?" Obito suddenly appeared beside Karin, wanting to learn more about Susanoo.

Seeing it was Obito, Li Xing couldn't be bothered to engage him. This was a good opportunity to observe the combat of Edo Tensei and identify any flaws.

"There's no difference, just the color. Mine is red, his is purple," Karin casually answered Obito’s question. Obito should have already known this.

"Is that so? I thought the descendants of the Uchiha and Uzumaki clans would have something different when awakening the Sharingan."

Obito clearly assumed Karin's parents were from these clans, otherwise he couldn't explain how Karin had Mangekyo Sharingan. He was familiar with almost all the Uchiha clan members and would know if someone could awaken Mangekyo. Thus, he concluded that Karin had awakened it herself.

Karin glanced at Obito, not replying, and then looked at Sasuke and Danzo.

Sasuke used the arm of his Susanoo to grab Danzo and squeezed his body with force.

"Die! After you die, I will completely destroy Konoha!"

Then Sasuke squeezed, crushing Danzo’s body. However, Danzo was in Edo Tensei, and without sealing, there was no other way.

Shortly thereafter, Danzo's body recovered to its original state. Danzo slowly formed a few hand seals and then charged at Sasuke.

Sasuke didn’t fully understand Edo Tensei either. He only knew it was a forbidden jutsu that brought the dead back to life, and he hadn't expected their bodies to be immortal.

"Since you can't die, how about this!"

"Amaterasu!"

Before Danzo could reach him, his body was engulfed by Sasuke's Amaterasu. Amaterasu was a flame that never extinguished until its target was completely incinerated. Danzo's body was under Edo Tensei, one destroying, the other recovering. They were locked in this stalemate.

Seeing that Amaterasu couldn't burn Danzo to death, Sasuke immediately used his right eye's ability, Kaguci-mei, which could control Amaterasu and alter its form, also increasing its power.

"Flame Style: Kaguci-mei!"

Sasuke clutched his face, glaring intensely at Danzo. Even an Edo Tensei body couldn't withstand the greatly amplified Amaterasu. Before long, it was completely incinerated.

Seeing that Danzo wasn't recovering, Sasuke deactivated Susanoo, a smile appearing on his lips. It felt good to defeat his enemy.

However, Danzo's figure suddenly appeared behind Sasuke. Danzo then reached out, snatched Sasuke’s kunai, and plunged it directly towards Sasuke.

Fortunately, Sasuke reacted quickly, and Susanoo reappeared, blocking Danzo’s kunai. The kunai broke upon contact with Susanoo.

"This technique, Izanagi. Danzo found the recovery time of Edo Tensei too slow, so he used Izanagi. However, if this continues, only Sasuke will die. Li Xing, make Danzo stop." Obito saw the direction the battle was heading and immediately told Li Xing to recall Danzo.

Li Xing spread his hands: "Danzo broke free from Edo Tensei’s control using Kotoamatsukami. The only way to stop Danzo is to seal him."

"Then seal Danzo. Danzo is already dead, and he's used Kotoamatsukami. His value is less than Sasuke's."

"Alright!" Following Obito's order, Li Xing stopped observing and descended from the sky, stomping on Danzo.

"Sealing Jutsu..."

"You dare! Even if I'm sealed, I will seal you! I will never let you lay a hand on Konoha!" Danzo struggled with all his might, grabbing Li Xing's leg, and a mass of black blood sprayed from his body.

"This is the Four Symbols Seal, get away quickly!" Obito recognized the technique at a glance and hurriedly told everyone to leave. Sasuke also knew something was wrong and quickly fled.

Li Xing looked at Danzo beneath his feet, utterly speechless. Such a sealing speed was too slow.

Then Li Xing punched Danzo into the ground and quickly ascended. The blood Danzo had sprayed transformed into a giant black orb, sealing everything around it, including himself.

"Honestly, this is so troublesome. Sasuke, you saw Danzo's body. This is the truth behind the Uchiha clan's extermination. And you still want to destroy Konoha?" Li Xing said to Sasuke below.

Sasuke clenched his fists and said, "I will kill all the Hokage and Konoha elders who participated in this Kage Summit, and then I will destroy Konoha. The people of Konoha are not worthy of enjoying the happiness that the sacrifice of the Uchiha and Itachi brought!"

Hearing this, Li Xing smiled and took out his Nichirin Blade: "What a coincidence, the Hokage who participated in the Kage Summit is my family member, along with some people from Konoha. If you must kill them, then I will deal with you here first! It doesn't matter if it goes against my agreement with Itachi, since Itachi is already dead!"

Obito's brow furrowed: "Li Xing, there's no need to do this. Even if the current Hokage dies, they will still exist in the Infinite Tsukuyomi world. You should understand."

"No, even if they exist in Infinite Tsukuyomi, it's not a reason to arbitrarily kill those people. What if you regret it? The dead family will never come back. You don't trust me, and I don't completely trust you either. Remember, we are in a cooperative relationship. Today, I'll give you face and not kill Sasuke, but a beating is still possible!"

As soon as Li Xing finished speaking, he vanished from everyone's sight and appeared behind Sasuke, delivering a punch to the back of his head.

Although Sasuke couldn't understand what Li Xing and Obito were discussing, he knew Li Xing was going to act. When Li Xing disappeared, Sasuke had already activated Susanoo.

However, this initial stage of Susanoo was no match for Li Xing's fist. In the blink of an eye, Sasuke's Susanoo was shattered by a single punch, and Sasuke was sent flying along with it.

"Li Xing, you bastard! Are you going to betray me?!"

Obito became somewhat angry. Li Xing's personality was too eccentric, resorting to violence at the slightest disagreement. Such a person was truly dangerous.

"No, no. I really want to enter the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi. I haven't disrupted your plan either," Li Xing said truthfully. He genuinely wanted to experience Infinite Tsukuyomi, but the biggest problem was that he might not be able to fall under the genjutsu of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Seeing this, Obito said nothing more. It wasn't time to fall out. Li Xing's strength was unknown, and he was too mysterious. If they fell out, it could disrupt the plan.
