Chapter 69 Blood-Red Buddha Statue
An eerie atmosphere permeated the main hall of the Fire Temple.
The ancient and solemn Buddha statue, along with Shinnosuke's intense emotional fluctuations...
The surrounding magical seals seemed to sense some kind of enormous threat and were gradually awakening.
In fact, since Uchiha Abe descended upon the Fire Temple several years ago, these monks used a secret technique, relying on the power of sage arts, to seal the Buddha statue before their deaths.
The intense struggle and contradictions deep within Sarutobi Shinnosuke's heart gradually awakened the defensive mechanisms within this magic circle.
Suddenly, Shinnosuke felt unable to move his body; his hands seemed to be controlled by some invisible force...
They were stuck together uncontrollably.
This force began to manipulate his hands, slowly approaching his neck.
He stared wide-eyed in terror, his whole body trembling violently, and sweat pouring down his forehead like rain.
He struggled desperately to escape, but no matter how hard he tried, his body was completely unable to move.
Then, those cold, stiff hands slowly gripped his own neck.
A suffocating fear instantly overwhelmed him, and everything before his eyes began to blur.
His face quickly turned pale, his breathing became increasingly difficult, and his eyes rapidly filled with blood vessels due to suffocation, almost bursting out of their sockets.
An indescribable, powerful sense of oppression was emanating from the Buddha statue in front of them.
The Buddha statue before them, whose expression was originally compassionate and peaceful, now appeared extremely ferocious, exuding a chilling murderous intent.
The air was filled with a peaceful yet eerie natural energy, which frantically gathered around the Buddha statue, forming a powerful suppressive force that relentlessly pressured Shinnosuke's body and consciousness.
The Buddha statue, imbued with divine power, glared fiercely...
"I can't die...!"
The image of his father, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the heavy burden of the entire Sarutobi clan suddenly appeared in Shinnosuke's mind.
He gritted his teeth, and an unprecedentedly strong will to survive erupted within him.
I absolutely cannot die here!
I must survive, help my father, support the Sarutobi clan, and protect my family!
At the very moment when his willpower reached its limit, his newly transplanted Sharingan from Fugaku suddenly burst forth with a scarlet and dazzling light.
A powerful surge of chakra energy erupted from his eye sockets like a torrent, instantly enveloping his body.
As the Mangekyou Sharingan fully awakened, countless strange and intense chakra fluctuations spread violently outward from Shinnosuke, distorting everything around him.
In an instant, the power released by the Mangekyou Sharingan collided violently with the long-sealed natural energy around the Buddha statue, unleashing an invisible and terrifying shockwave.
The natural magic array that sealed the Buddha statue collapsed completely in an instant.
Countless runes shattered into countless points of light, slowly dissipating into the air.
At that moment, the magical magic surrounding the Buddha statue dissipated...
The eerie power that was originally hidden within the Buddha statue quickly spread out, roaming freely like an evil spirit breaking free from its cage.
Shinnosuke felt a lightness in his body and finally regained control of it.
He suddenly released his grip, gasped for breath, and collapsed to his knees, coughing incessantly, while everything before him continued to spin violently.
The seal on the magical technique has completely collapsed.
Around the solemn and compassionate Buddha statue, countless dense withered trees have sprung up.
These dead trees, as if possessing life, grew wildly from the depths of the earth...
They kept climbing and entangled around the Buddha statue, as if trying to completely devour it.
Shinnosuke knelt on the ground, coughing violently. Each breath seemed to tear his lungs apart, causing him immense pain.
With each cough, more dead wood sprouted from the ground around his body, like countless twisted tentacles, constantly spreading and expanding, quickly wrapping around the entire Buddha statue.
These eerie dead trees seemed to carry some kind of strong obsession and resentment, constantly tightening and squeezing the Buddha statue.
Suddenly, thick, bright red blood seeped out from inside the Buddha statue. This blood dripped continuously like a spring, intertwining tightly with the withered wood, emitting a nauseating stench and the putrid smell of death.
Shinnosuke raised his head in a daze, his eyes filled with unspeakable horror and fear.
These dead trees...
It was nourished by the corpses of Uchiha clan members...
At this moment, the blood of the withered tree and the Uchiha clan...
It gradually merged with the Buddha statue, transforming into a bizarre and ferocious blood-red wooden Buddha statue.
It gradually shrank and finally slowly fell into Shinnosuke's palm.
Just as the blood-red Buddha statue fell into his palm, Shinnosuke's Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly erupted with an even more intense crimson light!
His consciousness seemed to be forcibly torn into an endless abyss.
These Mangekyou Sharingan, which once belonged to Fugaku Uchiha, possessed the ability to foresee the future.
At this moment, fragments of Fugaku's life memories flashed before Shinnosuke's eyes...
He clearly saw Fugaku's struggle and forbearance, and saw the moment he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, his heart filled with despair and painful cries.
Fugaku struggled desperately against that hopeless vision of the future, but no matter what he did, he could not escape his destined tragic fate.
At that very moment, Shinnosuke's heart skipped a beat...
A blood-red vision of the future suddenly flooded into his mind.
He saw his father...
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, lay quietly in a cold pool of blood, his eyes empty and lifeless, filled with desolation and helplessness.
Standing beside his father was Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage who had been resurrected.
His expression was cold and indifferent, as if everything he saw had nothing to do with him, and he remained completely unmoved.
Shinnosuke felt his whole body trembling violently, and an endless surge of anger and grief welled up inside him.
He strained to look up, trying to see who the real murderer of his father was.
The next instant, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, an indescribable fear instantly engulfing his entire body...
The eyes that slowly appeared in his sight were not ordinary Sharingan, but a pair of Rinnegan with a strange light!
"Rinnegan..."
Shinnosuke muttered to himself, his body suddenly trembling violently, a bone-chilling cold rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
The prophecy foretold that the person who killed the father was someone with the Rinnegan?
Those are the eyes of the legendary Sage of Six Paths...
Why has the ninja world reappeared?
He knelt on the ground, staring incredulously at the blood-red Buddha statue in his hands. Fear and anger intertwined in his heart, bringing him to the brink of collapse.
Father...
I would never...
The one who caused your trouble...
