Chapter 61: Manji vs. Izumi
Chapter 61: Manji vs. Izumi
Inside the woods, the air suddenly became deathly still!
The Uchiha clansmen standing all around froze in place, their faces filled with horror, their pupils contracting violently from extreme shock, and they even forgot to regulate their breathing.
How is this possible?!
That's Uchiha Izumi, the dignified head of the Uchiha clan, and the world's strongest person in the ninja world!
Looking across the entire ninja world, only Senju Shuichi of the Senju clan could barely exchange a few blows with him; the rest didn't even have the qualifications to get close.
But this simply dressed old stranger in front of them had easily beaten Chief Quan so badly that he was completely disoriented and powerless to fight back!
Even more terrifying was that the clansmen who had activated their three-tomoe Sharingan couldn't see the old man's attack trajectory even with all their eye power, and couldn't even catch a trace of his afterimage!
Such speed was beyond the reach of Senju Shuichi, and even the Sharingan's perceptive power was completely rendered ineffective!
"That's fucking terrifying!"
"Is this old man really human!?"
What chilled everyone to the bone was that the old man never emitted a single trace of chakra fluctuation, just like an ordinary mortal without any weapon, without the slightest aura of chakra.
In the arena, the old man, known as Wanci, still had a gentle expression, with no trace of anger in his eyes.
Having lived for countless ages, how could he possibly get angry with a junior?
These Uchiha clan members were naturally unaware that even if Hagoromo were present, he could not sense even the slightest trace of Manji's presence.
Having cultivated his immortal techniques countless times, he had already reached the state of returning to simplicity and truth, his body becoming one with nature. Mortal means of perception were simply unable to touch his existence.
Manji calmly looked at Uchiha Izumi and slowly said, "Young friend, please don't make a move. Shall we exchange or not?"
Looking at Quan Yi's cold and arrogant face, Wan Ci's heart stirred slightly, and he couldn't help but think of Indra.
The child's arrogance is somewhat similar to Indra's, but unfortunately, his strength is far inferior.
At his age, Indra had already reached the level of a Kage, while Izumi was only at the Kage level and had not even figured out the method to evolve the Mangekyou Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
This is understandable, as Indra had no bloodline constraints and left no legacy of evolution.
[PS: In the manga, Indra only has three tomoe, while in the anime he has the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, similar to Sasuke Uchiha. Furthermore, the anime doesn't show any negative effects; his eyes don't bleed. Therefore, we'll assume Indra doesn't have any negative effects from the Mangekyou Sharingan, and that Indra was unaware that awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan would cause negative consequences.]
Izumi stared intently at Manji, and after a few seconds of silence, his chakra suddenly surged!
The three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, instantly transforming into the Mangekyou Sharingan with its hideous patterns!
"I want...one more time!"
Quan Yi said coldly, his tone full of resentment.
Wan Ci's heart tightened slightly; this kid still wasn't going to give up.
"Let me show you the power of a god in the Uchiha clan!"
Izumi's pupils widened suddenly as he unleashed all his power to create Susanoo!
A buzzing sound resounded through the heavens and earth, and a blue Susanoo skeleton suddenly appeared, firmly enveloping him, with an immense pressure sweeping across the entire area.
The Uchiha clan members instantly erupted in excitement, their eyes flashing with fanatical light!
Appeared!
This is the clan leader's unique power, the ultimate fighting force that can lead the Uchiha to sweep across the ninja world!
"Make your move, old man!"
Izumi stood proudly within Susanoo, arms crossed.
This time he chose to defend, determined to figure out the old man's attack patterns.
Nine-Lama, who stood to the side as a backdrop, sneered with disdain.
This level of defense, which would be an absolute barrier in the eyes of ordinary people, is no different from a plastic bag that can be punctured with a single poke in front of its teacher.
Looking at the stubborn Izumi, Manji sighed softly, "Fine..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding white light suddenly burst forth from his body. The intense light made all the Uchiha clan members unable to open their eyes and they could only cover their eyes tightly.
In just two seconds, the white light slowly dissipated.
Everyone stared intently, and were instantly struck dumb!
Uchiha Izumi knelt heavily on the ground, panting heavily. His Susanoo had long since vanished, and his clan robes were torn to shreds, leaving him in a sorry state.
Sixty seconds!
Their clan leader, Uchiha Izumi, the strongest ninja in the world, was instantly killed twice in just sixty seconds!
"How is this possible? How is this possible! Why? What on earth happened?"
Quan Yi collapsed to his knees, his eyes vacant, muttering to himself, utterly unable to believe that such a terrifyingly powerful figure existed in the world.
Wanci remained standing, his face gentle as he bent down and asked, "Young friend, are you alright?"
"Who...who are you? Are you the Third Hokage of the Ninja Sect, Sarutobi?!"
Quan asked in a deep voice.
In his mind, only the Third Hokage of the Ninja Clan, Sarutobi, who single-handedly slaughtered the elite first and second Uchiha clans, possessed such extraordinary strength.
Ten thousand times he slowly shook his head, feeling a sense of absurdity.
He never expected that he would be mistaken for Sarutobi.
It seems that he, the Sage of Six Paths, has long become a legendary mythical figure, while Sarutobi is the strongest in the eyes of the world.
It's like encountering a peerless elder in the martial arts world; people would only guess it's Zhang Sanfeng or the Sweeper Monk...
But who would have thought it was actually Laozi?
Izumi gritted his teeth, fully aware of the vast difference in strength between them. He immediately suppressed his arrogance, bowed deeply, and said, "Grandpa, it was I, Uchiha, who offended you. My apologies!"
At this point, Izumi had already started calling him "Grandpa".
Wanci casually tossed the Flame Fan at Quan Yi, saying calmly, "I keep my promise. Farewell!"
Uchiha Izumi hurriedly caught the Flame Fan, his fingertips trembling, and dared not utter a single word of objection.
"Grandpa, I will definitely repay your kindness in guiding me today. Could you please leave your address so I can repay you in the future?"
Quan asked respectfully.
Wanci's heart skipped a beat. Did this kid want to take revenge on him in the future?
"hehe...."
10,000 times, he smiled without saying a word.
Quan's eyes flashed with resentment. "I will remember this grudge!"
But since the old man wouldn't say, there was nothing Quanyi could do.
"Goodbye!"
After saying that, Izumi led the Uchiha clan away.
"........."
"Old man... oh no, teacher!! How long has it been!!"
Nine Lama excitedly lay down on the ground, getting close ten thousand times.
"Long time no see, Nine-Ratna."
Manci stepped forward and touched the fluffy hair on Kurama's forehead.
"Teacher, the world is in chaos now, with countless killings. If you don't step in to correct this, morality will collapse and the world will go astray!"
The Nine Lamas knelt on the ground and complained pitifully.
(PS: Some people say that the protagonist has collected so many inhuman things, like the Nine-Tailed Fox, the White-browed Toad, and the White Ape King... and ask if the protagonist is a Fury fanatic? I solemnly declare here: the protagonist is absolutely not a Fury fanatic!)
(Wanci coldly and arrogantly retreated from Furui, making his stance clear to avoid trouble! (Wanci embraced his arms))
