What a Sin
The night breeze was cool, slowly dispersing the lingering smoke in the arena.
Shin'yu surveyed his surroundings, and every Hidden Leaf Village Jonin swept by his gaze fell silent, not daring to breathe.
After all, this was a ruthless man who had sent their Lord Hokage flying with a single punch, disappearing without a trace. No one wanted to meet those eerie crimson eyes; just being stared at made them feel unwell, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
Shin'yu smiled slightly, seemingly satisfied with the current outcome.
As the embodiment of "Yin Release" energy, the Mangekyo Sharingan's Chakra always gave off a cold feeling. This chilling killing intent, this aura that made people feel cold all over, reached its peak after he evolved into the Eternal Mangekyo and merged with Uchiha Kagami's Eye Power.
But after he spent ten long years merging with Hashirama's genes, the biting cold aura faded instead, becoming more mellow and peaceful. Although still cold, it was more of a vast and righteous aura, like a deep pool or a towering mountain.
According to Shin'yu's conjecture, this was likely related to the fusion of Yin and Yang, because Lord Madara also had a similar change in aura.
"Let's go."
Uchiha Nen nodded and was about to enter the transmission vortex when a hurried voice suddenly came from afar:
"Wait!"
Shin'yu and Nen turned their heads simultaneously, only to see two figures running out of the village entrance, their steps swift, and they darted into the arena in a few breaths.
"Tsunade? Jiraiya?"
Nen was a little surprised. Before tonight's operation, he had made many assumptions, even including his own defeat, but he had not anticipated Tsunade's appearance.
Tsunade noticed Shin'yu first. This handsome and mysterious man gave her a sense of déjà vu, especially that bright and profound look in his eyes, but she couldn't quite place where she knew him from.
Her gaze quickly turned to Uchiha Nen, and she asked breathlessly, "Nen, don't be impulsive. I think there must be some misunderstanding here!"
"Impulsive? No, all my actions are based on absolute rationality." Nen shook his head.
"But if you really leave..." Tsunade looked around, the scene was devastated, littered with the corpses of more than a dozen Jonin, "Then it will be no different from betraying the village!"
Nen frowned, "What a joke, it's the village that can't tolerate me! Besides, I fought my way out!"
"Listen, I know you've suffered a lot of grievances, and I will seek justice for you. We can't let things become more extreme!" Tsunade's expression was sincere, her eyes gentle, "If it's really the higher-ups who made a mistake, then let them apologize to you. If it's the village's problem, then we'll solve it from the root. We must not let this tragedy repeat itself!"
"Sorry, I appreciate your kindness, but the pain Hidden Leaf Village has inflicted on me, the nearly ten years of cold shoulders and loneliness, cannot be quelled by a mere 'apology'." Nen shook his head indifferently, his eyes cold.
"Tsunade, if you insist on siding with this group of hypocrites, perhaps the next time we meet, we will be enemies on the battlefield."
Tsunade took a step forward, her voice unable to hide her sadness, "Please give me some time, and I will give you justice. In the meantime, I will protect you and not let this matter worsen!"
At this moment, Shin'yu, who had been silent all along, suddenly held Nen's shoulder, threw him backhand, and tossed his stunned Nephew into the vortex.
"These words, wait until you become Hokage before you say them, little girl." Shin'yu said indifferently, without the slightest emotion.
As soon as he finished speaking, the "Karma" mark on his right hand lit up without warning, like a fleeting current when a machine short-circuits. The ink-colored mark expanded and spread in his palm, quickly moving up along his wrist, rapidly interweaving into ancient and obscure patterns.
Shin'yu frowned slightly, obviously encountering something unexpected. It was the first time the "Karma" mark had gone out of control. He subconsciously used his vast and profound Chakra to suppress it, and it immediately worked. The ink-colored patterns dissipated inch by inch, shrinking back into the diamond-shaped mark in his palm.
Because of this momentary interference, the portal closed instantly, and Uchiha Nen disappeared from everyone's sight along with it.
Is the unfreezing speed so fast? Damn Urashiki, you really can't stay still for a moment.
Shin'yu snorted coldly in his heart, a cold arc flashed across the corner of his eye, and "Ame no Tokotachi" was activated at will, quietly reverting his physical state to its peak.
The Otsutsuki Clan's 'Karma' does indeed have its unique aspects. Despite his continuous adaptation using 'Mahoraga,' the progress has been minimal.
To put it simply, if adapting to someone's Water Release Ninjutsu is like untying a tight knot on a thick rope, then analyzing 'Karma' is like untangling countless intertwined balls of yarn filled with endless slipknots and dead knots.
The most challenging part is that Uchiha Shin'yu currently has no idea about the unfreezing progress of the "Otsutsuki Urashiki data" and can only rely on instinct to constantly revert himself. As a result, his current physical state remains the same as the day he defeated Urashiki.
It seems the Uzumaki Clan's matter needs to be expedited.
He composed himself, shifting his attention from the fleeting thoughts back to reality, only to suddenly find that the surrounding Ninja were on high alert, each drenched in sweat.
Tsunade and Jiraiya couldn't help but take several steps back, their faces as pale as paper, as if Mount Tai were collapsing before their eyes, and the rolling rocks could crush them into dust in an instant.
Shin'yu was slightly surprised but understood in an instant.
The 'Karma' mark has two abilities in its normal state:
One is "Kaguya Himemikoto," which allows free travel between different spaces, opening portals at any time to teleport targets instantaneously;
The other is "Sanuki Futotama," which can completely absorb all Chakra-based Ninjutsu and convert it into Chakra stored within the user's body.
In addition, 'Karma' can unlock power through the activation of the 'Karma' seal. After activation, peculiar black marks appear on the right arm and right face, while granting the holder comprehensive enhancements in physical strength, recovery, speed, power... and even granting them Chakra and aura unique to the Otsutsuki Clan.
Perhaps it was because of the brief loss of control just now that the Otsutsuki Clan's aura and usually restrained power leaked from Shin'yu's body, which is why everyone was so shocked.
The powerful pressure flashed by, and Tsunade regained her breath. She stared at the young man in front of her, and that familiar feeling seemed to grow stronger.
Shin'yu touched his chin. The interruption of the portal made him think a lot in an instant, but he still had to leave Hidden Leaf Village. For some reason, he was unwilling to open it a second time in front of everyone.
As the saying goes, one takes on the characteristics of one's company.
In the original timeline, when Uchiha Madara faced the Five Kage, his Complete Body Susanoo was interrupted by the release of the "Impure World Reincarnation," and he broke off midway, like a shy old maiden, clearly having the strength but unwilling to use it a second time.
With the intersection of dimensions and time, the two shared the same feelings.
"I remember now, could it be that you are..." Tsunade's face turned pale, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, "You are... the murderer who killed my Second Grandfather, Uchiha Shin'yu!"
"Your intuition is sharp; you guessed it right away." Shin'yu smiled at her, "I said, anyone who wants to seek revenge is welcome at any time!"
With that, he immediately leaped lightly into the air, a ripple spreading from his toes, the wind whistling, and his whole body turned into a black shadow, shooting straight into the night sky and disappearing.
"Damn it!" Tsunade clenched her fists. Because of her anger, the fear remaining in her eyes disappeared, "You are not only the murderer, but now you've also abducted my comrade! I swear on my life, I will never let you go!"
Thus, under everyone's stunned gaze, she actually... chased after the direction Shin'yu left.
Even if the Jonin tried to stop her, they couldn't shake her belief in the slightest.
"Tsunade..."
"Tsunade! You..." Jiraiya stretched out his hand but couldn't grasp her determination. His face was tangled, and he was clearly struggling internally.
After hesitating for a moment, his face hardened, as if he had made some kind of decision, and he stomped his foot fiercely, chasing after Tsunade.
A sigh remained in the air:
"Alas, what a sin!"
