Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan

Homusubi had been able to take advantage of Danzo’s lack of logic in his hurry to absorb visual prowess for the advancement of his Dojutsu up until now and had slain him. In fact, even after murdering Danzo the first time, Homusubi didn’t dare to relax her guard… Homusubi’s nerves tightened as she realized Danzo may utilize Izanagi to affect the outcome of his death.

Although she was scared, she knew Danzo wouldn’t be able to survive for long if Shodaime and Nidaime were present.

After all, she reasoned, with the numerical advantage and power of the two past Hokage, murdering Danzo n times wasn’t such a difficult task.

Furthermore, both Shodaime and Nidaime have learned some of the Senju and the Uzumaki Clan’s most deadly Fuinjutsu. They would have used their enormous expertise battling against the Uchiha Clan to find a way to circumvent Izanagi in order to deal with Danzo if they had been told the facts and exact mechanism of Izanagi.

There was no way Danzo could survive in such a battle.

However, Orochimaru’s blunder changed everything.

Orochimaru, influenced by greed, made a blunder by hastily removing two key combat personnel, worsening the situation.

Despite the fact that Homusubi was irritated and angry with Orochimaru, she remained silent.

After all, Orochimaru had no prior knowledge of Izanagi… so his actions were fairly normal given his personality… Even Homusubi only knew about Izanagi because of her past-life knowledge; if it hadn’t been for that, she might have done something similar to Orochimaru… As a result, she has no right to dismiss Orochimaru.

“Sigh… Focus…” she grumbled as she took a deep breath, and then she put all other thoughts aside and concentrated on the battle at hand.

Homusubi poured as much chakra as she could into her eyes as she stood inside the protective armor of her Golden Susano’o, attempting to capture the location where Danzo would soon manifest himself.

Tsukihi sensed Danzo hadn’t regained his sanity and was still acting entirely on instincts when she killed him a few moments ago.

To be honest, relying on instincts isn’t always a bad thing, because intuition can be more perceptive to danger than rational analysis. However, there are a few things that can’t be done solely on instincts…

Homusubi is well aware of this, which is why she believes that if she carefully prepares a plan, she might be able to dispose of Danzo within the volcano.

“Don’t you want my eyes?” Homusubi snorted coldly, “Come and take them!”

Homusubi knows Danzo is after the pair of eyes in her sockets, so she realizes she can use them as bait to entice him out.

And while Homusubi was planning on how to deal with Danzo, the overall situation of the volcano started to worsen.

Rumble… Crash… Collapse…

Because Orochimaru sent Shodaime Hokage’s soul to the pure land, the chakra supply to the tree vines that held the volcano came to a halt, and as a result, the tree vines were no longer able to support the volcano’s structure. The rocks and boulders began to fall, and the cracks began to widen… While Homusubi was thinking about how to deal with Danzo, the volcano’s overall situation began to deteriorate. The pressure inside the volcano began to rise, more gas was emitted, and the volcano began to show clear signs of eruption.

Without a doubt, the damage has progressed to the point where unsupported tree vines can no longer prevent the volcano from erupting and collapsing.

In the midst of all of this chaos, a dark red complete-body Susano’o appeared out of nowhere and dashed towards Homusubi’s Golden Susano’o.

Homusubi was already on high alert, so when Danzo’s Susano’o suddenly attacked her, she was not surprised and reacted appropriately.

Bang Bang Bang…

With that, the two Susano’o began a new round of combat.

From sword and claw combat to hand-to-hand combat, which evolved into wrestling… Both Susanoo wrestled and soon fell to the ground, creating a massive hole that was quickly filled with magma.

Danzo and Homusubi were not harmed by the intense heat of magma around them as they wrestled against each other because they were both inside the crystal cavity of their respective Susano’o.

Homusubi was unaffected by Danzo’s greed and desperation; even if she sensed it, she didn’t seem to mind and continued to fight Danzo with all her might.

She used all her strength to lift Danzo’s Susano’o into the air, threw him inside the magma pool at the center of the volcano, and followed after him.

Boom… Splash…

The hot and melting magma was splashed all over the place as the two massive Susano’o landed in the magma pool.

Her Susano’o and mindless Danzo’s Susano’o are nearly identical in brute strength, but the presence of magma and its hot temperature make a difference.

Tsukihi is Hyuga Kuroto’s fire chakra nature clone, she was created with the purpose of mastering the fire chakra nature, so magma isn’t a problem for her. In fact, when surrounded by hot and burning magma, all of this clone’s abilities increase dramatically. Bu the same does not apply to Danzo; not only does Magma not provide any significant benefit to him, but it also restrains the corrosive mist released by his Susano’o, limiting a significant portion of his power. Not to mention, the dense magma also limits the mobility of his Susano’o, which is a significant limitation.

Homusubi is well aware of these facts, which is why she has chosen to fight inside the magma pool.

ROAR!

Homusubi’s Susano’o let out a roar and slammed into Danzo’s Susano’o.

Boom!

The start of the next round of melee was signaled by this explosion.

Orochimaru stood at a distance, a gloomy expression on his face as he watched the battle.

Orochimaru wasn’t feeling well after seeing Danzo resurrect twice. He had no idea that Danzo had already touched the immortality that he had been pursuing for years.

Orochimaru is also furious with himself, wondering how he could have made such a blunder. Orochimaru is unsure whether or not he can participate in this battle now that Shodaime and Nidaime are no longer there.

He feels as if he’s stepped on a stone… There’s no way to take control of Danzo’s body now, and Orochimaru isn’t sure if he can even assist Homusubi in solving the problem they’ve created.

He is very clear that he is not Danzo’s opponent based on his own strength and without the help of Edo Tensei Shodaime and Nidaime… He can’t do anything to Danzo, even if it’s Danzo, who has lost all senses and is acting solely on instinct.

The movement inside the magma pool came to a halt while Orochimaru was cursing himself.

It means the ferocious battle that had been going on inside has come to an end.

“Who won?” Orochimaru muttered, his face unsettled.

If Tsukihi is the winner, Orochimaru may be able to negotiate with her and obtain a portion of the benefits; however, if Danzo is the winner, not only will he not be able to obtain some benefits, but he may not even be able to escape alive.

While Orochimaru was concerned, the wait was finally over when a massive Golden hand emerged from the magma pool.

“Whew…” Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s Homusubi.” Then as he was about to approach her, suddenly his expression shrank, and he couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, “That is… Danzo’s–…?!”
