Chapter 614: Sasuke’s Awakening

Chapter 614: Sasuke’s Awakening

A/N:- I haven't been in good health these past few days. High fever, headache, nausea, and other symptoms. Went to doctor for a checkup and apparently, the reason for all this is my sore tooth from earlier. The teeth with the cavity. I thought they filled it properly but it wasn't. And now I have a sudden toothache and its affecting the muscles and nerves around my face. I have an appointment with doctor on Monday. Hopefully, it's properly treated this time.

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

Izuna cracks his neck and withdraws the Sacred relic of the Otsutsuki clan.

RUMBLE RUMBLE

Without the stabilization of the sacred relic, the entire dimension crumbles into space debris and disappears into a small wormhole.

"Damn it! I just lost another dimension to these psychopathic bastards!" Izuna laments the loss of another personal dimension.

The light in Izuna's eyes dims down and they return to normal.

"Time to return to the shinobi world!"

Izuna slashes the space in front of him with his arm, opening a Yomotsu Hirasaka portal to the shinobi world.

-------

Back on the battlefield,

Shua

A pitch-black portal appears in front of the Kage group, startling them.

Rasa, Onoki, and others quickly raise their guards.

"There is no need to panic, it's me!" Izuna walks out of the portal in his standard black shinobi garb that he wore four years ago.

A crescent moon earring with a star in the center hangs on his left earlobe. Two long bangs of hairs hangs loosely on either side of his face.

"IZUNA!"

Mei jumps into Izuna's embrace and sheds a few tears of joy.

"Izuna!" Tsunade also holds herself back and wipes the tears from his eyes.

"You are back, brat!"

Hiruzen glances at Izuna and sighs in relief. Izuna glances at the group of shinobis and opens his mouth.

"I know you have lots of questions, but now isn't the time. There are lots of important things to do right now."

Izuna ignores them and walks towards the Edo body of Tobirama. The latter is still screaming in pain from the torture Madara inflicted on him. None of the other shinobi, including Tsunade and Minato, had a way to free him from the torture.

"I have to say that old man is very petty, but then again, I can't blame him. I would also do such a thing, or even worse, to someone who dares touch my family."

Izuna extends his palm and absorbs all the purple flames.

Snap snap snap

The restrictions on Tobirama's body snap one after another, freeing him from Madara's torture.

Shiing

A blue light flashes past Izuna's right eye and Tobirama's soul returns to its previous state. He wipes out the memory of torture from Tobirama's soul.

Shua

Gray-black ash particles swirl around Tobirama, restoring his Edo body.

Tobirama stands up with his signature frown and nods at Izuna in gratitude.

"You have my thanks, kid! As my appreciation, I will later support you against Big Brother about your affair"

Snap

Izuna quickly snaps his finger, silencing Tobirama.

"On second thoughts, it would be better if I return you to your previous condition."

Tobirama immediately shuts his mouth at Izuna's threat.

"Now then" Izuna turns his attention to Sasuke.

Hashirama and Mito are sitting beside him, tending to his unconscious body.

"Leave him to me!"

Izuna places his hand on Hashirama's shoulder, dispelling the curse on his body.

"I feel a lot lighter now!" Hashirama clenches his fists.

A gust of wind blows, revealing Izuna's Rinne-Sharingan in his left eye.

"Nii-san, you also have a Rinnegan?!"

This time, others aren't as surprised as before.

"My Rinnegan differs from yours." Izuna chuckles but doesn't elaborate.

"Since it's a gift! Can I get one too?"

Izumi, who was standing beside Itachi, asks in excitement.

"Hehe who do you think I am?" Izuna flicks Izumi's forehead.

"A caring and doting brother who gifts Rinnegan!" Izumi holds her head and pouts.

Ah

Izuna is stunned to hear her answer.

Haha

Tsunade and others chuckle in laughter.

"Well it's not that easy!" Izuna shakes his head.

"I just awakened Sasuke's latent potential. Just like Madara, Sasuke also had the potential to awaken Rinnegan on his own in the later years of his life. However, I just accelerated the process by several times, by catalyzing the process with my chakra. Now, do you understand?" Izuna raises an eyebrow.

"So, does that mean your potential is even higher than Madara and Sasuke?" Izumi asks.

"Well not to toot my horn, but that's a fact!" Izuna smugly raises his head, to which he hears a few snorts.

"So, Nii-san, do I have the potential?" Izumi asks again with anticipation.

"NO!" Izuna cuts her off.

"You don't have to dash my hopes like that." Izumi gloomily hangs her head. Itachi gently pats her head.

Through this conversation, the rest of the people also understood the process of Izuna's gifting.

'Well, I left several other things in my explanation.' Izuna shrugs his shoulder.

'Since I have changed my bloodline, the people closest to me now have a chance to awaken Rinnegan. But I can't disclose that yet.'

Izuna smiles at them.

"Well, my job here is done!"

Izuna turns in Konoha's direction.

"Naruto also needs my help."

Fwoosh

The next instant, Izuna disappears from the battlefield.

"Sasuke, how do you feel?" Itachi asks him.

"Stronger than ever!"

Sasuke clenches his fist and glances toward Madara and Gai's battle.

"Now, it's time for round two."

Bzzt

Sasuke's body turns into lightning and darts forward at an extremely fast speed.

Sigh

"Now, even the youngsters have surpassed us!" Onoki sighs in melancholy.

"Then why don't you retire, old man, and give your position to me?" Kurotsuchi throws a jab at him.

"Over my dead body!" Onoki harrumphs and crosses his arms and straightens his back.

Shing

A flash of pain jolts down his spine.

"Argh My back!" Onoki leans forward while holding his back.

"See. I told you!" Kurotsuchi shakes her head.
