Since he hadn't prepared in advance this ti, Seii couldn't imdiately activate an illusion strong enough to control Danzo the mont he turned and saw him.
This brief delay provided Danzo with the opportunity he needed.
Almost instantly, Danzo grasped Seii's intentions. Without hesitation, he played one of his trump cards.
He sheathed his sword and ford hand seals, unleashing the illusion technique Bringer-of-Darkness Technique Technique!
This highly complex, A-rank illusion skill takes effect at dium to close range and primarily disrupts the opponent's vision.
From this effect alone, it's clear how much of a counter this technique is against the Uchiha clan, who rely heavily on their Sharingan in battle.
In fact, this technique was originally created by Hashirama Senju specifically to neutralize Madara Uchiha's Sharingan.
Now, Danzo used this sa technique against Seii.
After suspecting that Seii might have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, Danzo had deliberately sought out this technique as his trump card. Over the past weeks, he had been biding his ti, waiting for the right mont.
Unfortunately, the timing never seed right, or he was too preoccupied to execute it.
Now, at last, an opportunity had presented itself.
Without hesitation, Danzo unleashed the technique.
Seii, indeed, fell into the trap.
Seeing Seii frozen just a short distance away, Danzo stepped forward and swung his sword directly at Seii's neck.
On the other side, Seii realized sothing was wrong the mont he saw Danzo's reaction. He had intended to use his Mangekyo Sharingan to buy himself a mont to retreat.
However, the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique Technique was designed specifically to counter the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, leaving no such openings.
The hand seal sequence for the technique was simple. With sufficient mastery, it could be executed in an instant.
Danzo, having prepared this as his ultimate move against Seii, wouldn't have taken it lightly during training.
As a result, the technique worked flawlessly, leaving Seii with almost no ti to react.
In an instant, the light in Seii's field of vision was extinguished. Darkness descended like a silken curtain, dragging him into an abyss of endless void.
At that mont, everything around him vanished. It felt as if he were the last person left in the world.
However, Seii knew this was rely an illusion.
At the very least, Danzo stood not far in front of him, likely plotting how to end his life.
As this thought crossed Seii's mind, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation at his neck, as if he were re monts away from being decapitated.
Without a second thought, Seii retreated backward.
However, without his vision, even a simple chakra control maneuver like walking on water beca a bit unsteady.
It wasn't that his chakra control had diminished; rather, it was a matter of psychological instability.
Vision may seem inconspicuous during ordinary tis, but losing it reveals just how critical it is.
Even though Seii understood this condition was temporary, his subconscious resistance made him less agile.
This unavoidable drop in mobility wouldn't matter much against an ordinary ninja. Seii could simply stall until he broke free from the illusion's effects.
But against a ninja of Danzo's caliber, such hesitation was an obvious vulnerability.
Indeed, it was.
When Danzo saw Seii dodge his first strike, he didn't feel frustrated; he grew more exhilarated.
Why? Because he had already noticed Seii's hesitation.
Without any hesitation, he swung his sword once more, aiming directly at Seii's chest.
Relying on his instincts, Seii dodged the attack again.
However, this ti, Danzo's sword ca dangerously close to him.
Realizing that this couldn't go on, Seii didn't hesitate either. Just as Danzo thrust his sword for the third ti, Seii activated the ultimate power of his Mangekyō Sharingan—the ability known as the "Power of the Gods," Susano'o.
From the outside, Danzo's eyes were locked on Seii. His short sword flashed like lightning, stabbing directly at Seii's heart.
Seeing that Seii hadn't dodged in ti, a sinister, triumphant grin appeared on Danzo's face.
But that grin didn't last for even half a second before freezing completely.
Why?
Because in his field of vision, a silver-white skeletal figure abruptly materialized around Seii's body.
His short sword struck the skeleton and produced nothing more than a sharp, tallic clang. It failed to cause even the slightest damage to the skeletal barrier, let alone harm Seii within.
Not only that, but the massive skeletal figure forced Danzo to retreat several steps, putting nearly 20 ters of distance between him and Seii in the blink of an eye.
At this distance, considering Seii's visual prowess, by the ti Danzo got close again, he would likely have shaken off the effects of Genjutsu: The Bringer-Of-Darkness Technique.
In fact, that was almost the case.
After activating Susano'o to force Danzo back, Seii, no longer interrupted, quickly regained his vision.
He fixed his gaze on Danzo, who was now at a distance. Rather than attacking imdiately, Seii, while enduring the intense physical strain caused by Susano'o, began gathering more chakra to activate its second and third forms.
A surge of chakra erupted from within him.
As a result, the silver-white skeletal figure that protected his body grew internal chakra tendons, muscle-like structures, and a layer of chakra resembling skin.
This transformation made the figure appear far more lifelike.
This was the second form of Susano'o, the strongest power Seii could wield before his Mangekyō Sharingan's evolution level reached 30,000 out of 50,000 points.
But now, with his Mangekyō Sharingan evolution surpassing the 30,000/50,000 threshold, he could naturally wield even greater power and activate the third form.
"RAHHHH!"
Seii let out a thunderous roar as he unleashed even more chakra.
With that, the crow-faced Tengu armor appeared over his Susano'o, making it look like an ancient general. Its defensive power soared dramatically.
An overwhelming aura radiated from the figure, pressing down on the surrounding water so heavily that a portion of the surface visibly sank.
Seii, feeling the searing pain coursing through every cell of his body, couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his eyes. He muttered to himself, "As expected, all power cos at a price!"
The use of Susano'o not only carried the risk of blindness but also subjected him to excruciating pain throughout the process.
If it weren't for his 21-point physical endurance, he might not have been able to withstand this imnse pressure.
If he recklessly forced it, he might end up like Itachi Uchiha—depending on dication just to sustain his life.
After taking a mont to adjust, Seii turned his focus back to Danzo.
By now, Danzo had retreated even farther.
However, thanks to the heightened perceptive abilities granted by his Mangekyō Sharingan, Seii could still clearly see the expression on Danzo's face.
Danzo was staring at the Susano'o enveloping Seii with a mix of greed and fear, the latter emotion surfacing in his eyes for the first ti in a long while.
Still, he hadn't fled yet, which clearly ant he had further plans in mind.
Unfortunately for him, in the face of absolute power, any sches or tricks were utterly aningless.
Without the slightest hesitation, Seii activated one of the abilities unlocked at the second stage of Susano'o—Yasaka Magatama!
