Chapter 1022

Alas, Sasuke was not easy to deal with. Susanoo was both offensive and defensive. Even if Danzo could use the Sharingan on his right arm to use a simplified version of Izanagi, it was still a bit strenuous to deal with Sasuke's Susanoo with just this forbidden technique.

The so-called Izanagi is a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan. At the cost of sacrificing one Sharingan, the caster records their own state. Within the effective time of this technique, all damage suffered by the caster, including the caster's death, can be converted into a dream, and the caster can be reverted to the initial state—that is, the recorded state.

Conversely, during this period, the damage the caster inflicts on the enemy is converted into reality. This belongs to a type of genjutsu, a very high-level genjutsu that can freely switch between dreams and reality.

Danzo mastered this technique, but he was not a member of the Uchiha clan after all, and the prerequisite for using this technique was the Sharingan.

Although Danzo was not of the Uchiha clan, he had his own massive power. In his deal with Orochimaru, Danzo had Orochimaru transplant a large amount of Hashirama cells into his body, and then transplanted ten Sharingan onto his right arm. In this way, he could use Izanagi for a long time. For every Sharingan sacrificed, Danzo could use Izanagi for one minute.

Used Sharingan were basically equivalent to being scrapped, but Danzo had a large inventory of Sharingan. Therefore, ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan were consumables to Danzo, just like bullets.

With Danzo's chakra volume, even after transplanting Hashirama cells, his "ammunition reserve" was only ten rounds. He had already used six rounds and could only replenish them after returning to Konoha.

Danzo's original idea was to first use the technique on his right arm to defeat Sasuke, then use the Uchiha Shisui Sharingan in his right eye to cast genjutsu, thereby stalling Obito, and finally retreat unscathed.

But Danzo had used Shisui's eye during the Five Kage Summit, using the unsolvable ninjutsu Kotoamatsukami on Mifune. Now, Shisui's Sharingan was temporarily unusable.

Su Xiao's arrival was undoubtedly bad news for Danzo. In Danzo's view, whether "Uchiha Madara" was real or fake remained to be seen, and Uchiha Sasuke was just a greenhorn. If it weren't for the threat of "Uchiha Madara" on the side, he would have already solved this kid; after all, the opponent was already injured before fighting him.

As for Su Xiao, Danzo felt he was a greater threat than the so-called "Uchiha Madara." Uchiha Madara hadn't made a move yet, and according to Konoha's records, Uchiha Madara's Sharingan wasn't space-based.

Compared to the threat of "Uchiha Madara," Su Xiao's threat was truly placed there. Beheading the Raikage at the Five Kage Summit already explained Su Xiao's combat power.

Now that Su Xiao had arrived, Danzo couldn't keep fighting. He really wanted to retreat, but Sasuke, full of hatred, wouldn't let him go at all.

After a period of Obito's instigation, Sasuke was now driven to an extreme degree by hatred. It could be seen how well Obito understood people like Sasuke because he was originally such a person, so he knew how to use Sasuke and what words could resonate with him.

On the stone blade, Su Xiao, Obito, and Bubu Wang were all watching the battle, while Amu was carrying a cloth bag, occasionally taking out a wild fruit from the bag.

"You seem to have forgotten something."

Su Xiao, who was watching the battle, spoke, and Obito on the side narrowed his eyes.

"Of course I wouldn't forget."

Obito took two scrolls from his bosom and handed them to Su Xiao. Su Xiao took the scrolls, and the Reincarnation Paradise's hint appeared.

【You have obtained Primitive Hashirama Cell Data (2/5).】

【You have obtained Primitive Hashirama Cell Data (2/5).】

Obito had divided the "Primitive Hashirama Cell Data" into three parts. He gave Su Xiao one-fifth when the Five Kage Summit began, and now it was the remaining four-fifths.

Su Xiao took out the one-fifth of the data he had obtained earlier, and the hint appeared again.

【Hint: You have obtained Primitive Hashirama Cell Data (Complete).】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao nodded. This meant that what Obito gave was the real thing. The value of this data was very high; this was the data summarized by Uchiha Madara. You know, Uchiha Madara had awakened the Rinnegan back then, which meant he had understood the "Primitive Hashirama Cells" very thoroughly.

Su Xiao no longer paid attention to the battle below. He tore open the first scroll and began to read the information on it.

Compared to the data given by Orochimaru, the data recorded by Dragon Madara was much more straightforward. Most of Orochimaru's data consisted of numbers, formulas, etc. For those who didn't understand this aspect, it was completely like reading a heavenly book.

Uchiha Madara's data was much more straightforward. When Su Xiao saw a certain passage, he almost laughed out loud.

"Hashirama cells have strong vitality and aggressiveness, but as long as you survive the initial backlash, there will be very wonderful changes later. I haven't eaten food for three days, and my body's demand for water has increased significantly. Am I turning into a tree? My arm has already started to sprout..."

One could imagine that Madara-ye, who wrote this passage back then, had some small panic in his heart. At that time, he had just transplanted Hashirama cells and was very worried about turning into a woody plant—that is, turning into a genuine vegetable, a tree.

Compared to Madara's straightforward records, Su Xiao was more willing to read Orochimaru's data full of numbers. Although Madara was strong, he was a martial artist. Asking him to study biological formulas was indeed a bit difficult for him.

"Between a tree and a plant? What does this mean?"

Su Xiao couldn't quite understand a sentence in Madara's data.

"Ahem..."

Obito coughed dryly.

"When I recorded this data back then, the biological level of the ninja world was backward..."

Obito was currently disguising himself as Uchiha Madara, after all. Regarding the plain-spoken data recorded by Madara, he needed to take the blame. But for some reason, he couldn't rewrite this data because he knew Su Xiao was a professional in the field of Hashirama cells and couldn't be fooled at all.

"Let's not talk about the biological level at that time. First, explain this sentence to me."

Su Xiao had a headache about this data.

"Which sentence?"

"This one. First, tell me clearly, is this a typo or does it have a special meaning?"

"At that time, I was being eroded by Hashirama cells, and my mind was a bit unclear. This is a typo."

The corners of Obito's mouth under the mask twitched. To be honest, he didn't understand Madara's data at all. His research on Hashirama cells was only at a basic level. He knew the characteristics of Hashirama cells well because he had been implanted with them, but asking him to summarize these understandings into data was something he truly couldn't do. Obito hadn't systematically studied knowledge in this area.

Su Xiao mastered Alchemy Potionology Lv. 20 and Alchemy Creature Manufacturing Lv. 20, which meant Obito's words couldn't fool him at all. He had been studying Hashirama cells for a long time and could solve the risk of tree-ification while retaining the characteristics of Hashirama cells. The improved version of the No. 1 potion proved this point.

In the ninja world, only one person could do this: Orochimaru. Others were just suppressing Hashirama cells; once they were in a bitter battle to the point of near-death, the Hashirama cells would erupt.

"Overall, that's what it means."

Obito, whose cheeks were already sweating, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Su Xiao understood Hashirama cells, but he didn't expect Su Xiao to understand them so well.

"Crude usage method."

Su Xiao took the scroll; he roughly understood the meaning of Madara's plain words.

"The battle below is about to be decided."

Obito changed the subject while secretly being vigilant in his heart. From now on, he would never discuss topics related to Hashirama cells with Su Xiao. If compared by ninja levels, his understanding of Hashirama cells was at the Genin to Chunin level, while Su Xiao was at the Kage level.

Hearing Obito's words, Su Xiao looked down. The battle was indeed coming to an end. At this time, Sasuke and Danzo's shoulders were pressed together, and the chakra blades in their hands had pierced through each other's chests.
