Chapter:150

Kaguya Manro's Dance of the Seedling Fern was indeed powerful, but Izuna remained calm, observing the technique. "In essence, it's just an advanced earth release," he said, unimpressed.

Izuna's Susanoo, initially in its skeletal form, began to transform. With a surge of chakra, it thickened and evolved into a fully armored humanoid shape.

"Can that thing evolve endlessly?" Kaguya Butori muttered through gritted teeth as he watched.

Izuna's voice echoed, his Mangekyō Sharingan glowing ominously. "Fire Release: Added Earth Life Sword!"

In response to Izuna's command, black flames of Amaterasu enveloped Susanoo's right hand, forming a sword of raging fire.

With one sweeping motion, Susanoo's fiery blade struck the ground.

Boom!

The earth split apart violently, creating a massive fissure. The terrain collapsed, pulling Kaguya's bone spurs and everything nearby into the abyss.

"His fighting style is insane!" Kaguya Manro cursed under his breath as the battlefield descended into chaos.

Reacting quickly, Kaguya Manro disappeared into one of the bone spurs created by his technique. This ability allowed him to move at incredible speeds within the terrain he controlled, similar to Senju Tobirama's water-based tactics or Kimimaro's Dance of the Clematis.

Reappearing behind Izuna, Kaguya Manro roared, "Dance of the Eightfold Sword!"

Using his unique movement technique, he approached Izuna with blinding speed. His bone spear, an enhanced version of Kimimaro's weapon, was aimed directly at Susanoo's core.

But Izuna was unfazed. His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan saw through the attack, predicting every movement.

"Fire Release: Added Earth Life!"

Black flames of Amaterasu ignited the spear mid-air. Shocked, Kaguya Manro abandoned his weapon, retreating swiftly.

Izuna chuckled. "Did you think I wouldn't see through your position? My eyes miss nothing."

"Those eyes…" Kaguya Manro muttered, realizing the power of Izuna's nickname, Emperor of the Eyes.

"This ends now," Izuna declared. Chakra surged through him, forming glowing curse marks on his face. "Sage Art: Flame Release—Destiny Control Flame!"

The golden flames erupted like a sea of fire, consuming Kaguya's bone forest. The intense heat scorched the earth, reducing the once-pristine white bone spurs to blackened ash.

Kaguya Manro, desperate, slammed his hands onto the ground, creating another wave of bone spurs to block the flames. But the effort was futile—the fire burned through everything.

"How terrifying," muttered Uzumaki Guanghai as he watched the flames engulf the battlefield.

Before the fire subsided, Izuna formed a second technique. A high-pitched buzzing filled the air as a chakra sphere spun rapidly in his hands. "Sage Art: Wind Release—Rasenshuriken!"

He launched the spinning sphere. It tore through the charred bones, expanding into a massive vortex of wind blades that shredded everything in its path.

Caught in the vortex, Kaguya Manro had no choice but to use his entire body as a shield, growing more bones to absorb the damage.

When the Rasenshuriken finally dissipated, Kaguya Manro collapsed to the ground, severely injured. His body was covered in cuts, and his bone armor was shattered.

"Clan leader!" Kaguya Butori rushed forward, catching Manro before he hit the ground.

The rest of the Kaguya clan gathered around, their faces pale with fear. Their once-proud leader was barely clinging to life.

"Carry him back to the clan immediately!" Butori ordered.

Izuna, standing tall amidst the destruction, addressed the retreating Kaguya clan. "I spared his life. Remember the promise you made. Leave the Land of Whirlpools and never return."

Butori gritted his teeth and replied, "Understood." He carried Manro on his back and led the Kaguya army into a hasty retreat.

As they fled, Uzumaki Hikari turned to Uzumaki Guanghai. "Great Elder, should we pursue them?"

Guanghai hesitated. "We need to prioritize discovering how they arrived so close to Uzushio Village undetected. Otherwise, we'll live in constant fear of another attack."

Izuna interrupted, his voice calm but commanding. "Whether you pursue them or not is your decision, but, Great Elder, it's time to return to Uzushio Village. You owe your clan an announcement about Mito."

Guanghai's face darkened as he realized there was no escaping the promise he had made. Izuna's faint smile only deepened his humiliation.
