Chapter 367: Curse Seal Surge Part-6

Chapter 367: Curse Seal Surge Part-6

"I named it Dream energy," Izuna answers them.

"Dream energy?" Shisui, Itachi, and Izumi inquire.

"Yes. Shisui's kotoamatsukami allows him to manipulate someone at the highest level of control without the latter being aware of it. However, it has a very strict usage, i.e., it can't be cast regularly"

Izuna pauses and turns to Shisui.

" but it's not the only jutsu your Mangekyo Sharingan awakened. Every Mangekyo Sharingan awakens two unique abilities. These abilities might be different, like Itachi, or interdependent, like Uncle Yagami."

"Dad?" Shisui is surprised.

"Yes, uncle Yagami's Mangekyo ability" Izuna replies.

" one of his Mangekyo abilities allows him to manipulate shadows to a much greater extent than the Nara clan to the point that he becomes almost invulnerable while in shadows. His other Mangekyo ability raises his control to such a level that he can create a domain of shadows or extreme darkness without any need for any external source. This manipulation depends on proficiency and chakra control." Izuna calmly explains to him.

"So, where was I? Ah yes yes Shisui also has a similar ability. However, it has yet to unlock because he has yet to meet a certain requirement."

"My second Mangekyo ability?" Shisui is surprised to hear this.

"Mm if my guess is correct, then your second Mangekyo ability will allow you to enter someone's dreams and manipulate the dreams to influence their mind. This ability completely bypasses all sorts of mental defenses. Even the Yamanaka clan, with their strong mental defenses, will be helpless against your new ability. However, you need strong mental strength and willpower to awaken this ability. I am sure you will awaken it with time. Also, once you awaken it, this ability will assist your Kotoamatsukami through the use of Dream energy."

Izuna pats Shisui's back.

"I am looking forward to it!"

He turns towards Itachi and continues.

"Itachi, it's the same for you. You can't control your Amaterasu, but you can manipulate it depending on your proficiency in Fire Release. Similarly, your Tsukiyomi will improve with Yin release and mental strength." Izuna continues to give pointers to Shisui and Itachi.

After a few minutes, he turns to Izumi. Izumi's expression turn tense as Izuna evaluates her jutsu.

"Izumi, your situation is slightly different from these two. I think you understand it."

"I do, Izuna Nii-san!" Izumi bites her lips and nods. Shisui and Itachi curiously turn to Izuna for answers.

"You two must have known already that Izumi is a half-Uchiha. His father was not from the Uchiha clan."

"We do!" Shisui and Itachi nod.

"So, you must also be aware of the fact that only an Uchiha can use his Sharingan effectively. Even then, they require the medicine from the Howling Wolf village to prevent blindness from the overuse of Sharingan."

Shisui and Itachi recall Kakashi's condition after his every use of Sharingan during their Anbu missions.

"So, Nii-san does this mean" Worry appears on Itachi's face.

Izumi's face turns red from Itachi's worry. She starts to daydream.

Ahem

Izuna clears his throat to get her attention.

"Yes, and no!" Izuna's answer further confuses them.

"Yes, it has a severe effect on her, since her every activation of Sharingan draws more chakra than normal. Also, she awakened her Sharingan at the age of 7, much before you, Itachi." Izuna turns to Itachi.

"But she I I never saw her use it!" Itachi is at a loss for words.

"It was an unfortunate accident!" Izuna shakes his head but doesn't speak any further.

"Her Sharingan withdraws much more chakra than normal. Also, it is almost impossible for her to awaken Mangekyo Sharingan. But during the previous incident, she" Izuna stares at Izumi with pity.

"She awakened her Mangekyo Sharingan and passed out for an entire month."

"What? So, the reason she was in a coma was that"

Izumi nodded in approval.

Shiing

She activates her Sharingan. The tomoes in her Sharingan revolve rapidly and merge in a three-leaf clover pattern.

Shiing

Her Mangekyo Sharingan spins rapidly.

"Raikou: 4th form Musou Shinsetsu"

A giant purple chakra arm appears behind Izumi. The giant arm wields a giant katana and slashes it toward the incoming white snake.

Crackle crackle

The clouds in the sky crackle with purple lightning.

BOOM

A violent discharge of purple lightning falls on the crystal dome. It instantly shatters the crystal dome and strikes the white snake.

Bzzt BOOM

A chaotic surge of purple lightning storm brews at the location of the lightning strike and engulf the snake within it. The purple lightning burns the snake to cinders. The sword slash splits the ground into two, leaving a gigantic scar spanning a few hundred meters on the ground.

Bleurgh

Izumi spits out a mouthful of blood and falls to her knees. Blood flows from both of her eyes.

"I was expecting your move, Kabuto!" She grits her teeth in anger.

'Earlier, when Guren activated her curse seal; I noticed a change in her chakra signature. It was different from the Nature energy. It was something foreign, something sinister. I never expect you to make your move on me.' Izumi closes her eyes.

'I hope the girls will finish the fight on their end soon. I must trust in their abilities.'

-------------------

A few hundred meters away from Izumi and Guren's battlefield.

"What's that?"

Hanabi notices a giant bolt of purple lightning striking down the crystal dome that appeared earlier.

"It must be Izumi sensei. Looks like I am the first one to complete my fight!"

Hanabi stares at an unconscious Iwana and Yamame.

'I have already sealed their chakra. I will tie them here and help Sensei. Ayaka and Yakumo will manage on their own.'

Hanabi takes out a binding scroll and imprisons the Sound duo within it.

--------------------

On the other side of the battlefield,

Ayaka emotionlessly stares at the purple lightning discharge.

'That's Izumi Nee-san's jutsu. To force her to use that jutsu, it means it must be that sinister chakra from her.'

She recalls the sinister chakra she sensed earlier while escaping with the mission target.

'Looks like there is no need to hold back any longer.'

Shiing

Ayaka activates her Sharingan for the first time and turns towards a second curse form Kajika.

"It's time to end this!"

"Those eyes Sharingan means you you were holding back!" Kajika glares at Ayaka.

"Were you looking down on me? Argh" Kajika released a burst of chakra from his body.

The shark scales on his back merge with his body. He transforms further into a humanoid shark with long sharp teeth and sharp claws in his hands.

"I will tear you apart!"
