Chapter 653: Chapter – 646 Abnormality
"This…!!?" Homusubi gasped in horror and disbelief!
But she didn't have time to be astonished before the next stunning event occurred.
Homusubi recalls that only Danzo's right eye was grafted with the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, while the other, the left eye, remained a normal eye... This fact was not altered by the preceding transformation operation.
This truth, however, has changed at this time... The left eye, which was supposed to be a regular human eye, has grown into a scarlet red Sharingan with three tomoe.
Even individuals who are utterly inexperienced with the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan would notice something unusual about the circumstance, let alone Homusubi, who has an excessive amount of knowledge and in-depth research on Sharingan.
As such, she couldn't stop herself from exclaiming, "What the hell?!!!"
And it wasn't even close to being over... The three tomoe of both the Sharingan in Danzo's eyes were swiftly swirling and showed hints of evolution... 'Is it really what I think it is? Is he... is Danzo truly on the verge of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan?'
Homusubi's thoughts shifted sharply as she struggled to come up with a rational explanation for such a shift.
Danzo's left eye was his own, not the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan or the eye of an Uchiha Shinobi, hence it shouldn't have evolved into a Sharingan, let alone a three-tomoe Sharingan. However, if you think about it, what's actually needed to awaken the Sharingan are Uchiha Clan genes combined with the Yin Chakra, which has unique properties that only Uchiha Clan shinobi have.
If both of these conditions are met, then the Sharingan can be awakened, at least theoretically.
According to the same idea, during the last struggle against Ōtsutsuki Kaguya in the canon, even Kakashi briefly awakened both the Mangekyou Sharingan.
So, how did that happen?
The answer is straightforward and consistent with the hypothesis.
Kakashi did have certain Uchiha Characteristics in his body after bearing Obito's Sharingan in both eyes for over a decade, and after Obito's death, Obito gave Kakashi his Chakra, allowing Kakashi to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan in both eyes, allowing him to use Kamui in both eyes as well as the Ultimate Body Susano'o.
As a result, it may be inferred that to awaken the Sharingan; genes and Yin Chakra with Uchiha Characteristics are sufficient.
This also explains how Danzo's left eye can transform into a three-tomoe Sharingan.
Danzo's left eye has changed into the Sharingan, indicating that he is currently in a state of fusion and possesses a high-intensity Yin Chakra akin to an Uchiha shinobi who has awoken the three tomoe Sharingan.
And this isn't the end of it.
The fusing of Chakra with many distinct characteristics progresses as the ceremony progresses, and the intensity of Yin chakra in his body gradually increases, which explains why the three tomoe Sharingan in his eye socket are showing indications of turning into the Mangekyou Sharingan.
After figuring out all of this, Homusubi discovered something else.
Homusubi discovered that she no longer requires the Observation Equipment she is now employing. She believes that as the fusion of various Kekkei Genkai occurs, she will be able to accurately discern the physical and spiritual changes in Danzo's body if she continues to monitor the changes in Danzo's eyes.
And, without a doubt, this procedure will yield the most accurate findings.
If Homusubi can figure out all of this, Orochimaru will obviously not be left behind.
He was instinctively aware of the aberration in Danzo's eyes, which had evolved into a Sharingan and was showing symptoms of further evolution. His face erupted into a crazed expression. It was a mix of longing, expectation, covetousness, adoration, and even shock. The snake-like vertical pupils' greed totally burst, leaving no room for concealment!
Homusubi was definitely taken aback by Orochimaru's ugliness, but she didn't let it distract her from her task of closely observing Danzo.
Whatever scheme Orochimaru has concocted isn't as vital to her as gathering data.
"The new 'Chimera Buds' devouring and swallowing effect is better than predicted in a high-temperature setting..."
"The chakra is the real key to the advancement of the fusion after the ritual enters the fusion stage; even the Bijuu-class chakra may not secure the smooth completion of the ritual. This is an area where more attention should be paid..."
"The Sharingan of the test body has shown an evolutionary trend in the presence of ample chakra, indicating that the fusion of multiple Chakra natures in the test subject's body is proceeding smoothly. This fact also ensures that the ritual created by Orochimaru and myself is as effective as we hoped..."
"And, as long as all requirements are met, achieving 'Kekkei More' is not an unrealistic goal..."
Homusubi summed up the situation.
After around three minutes, both Sharingan in Danzo's eyes had shifted from the three tomoe state to a new pattern and a more powerful condition.
The design in both of his eyes resembles gears.
"Mangekyou Sharingan!" Homusubi exclaimed, staring at the newly awakened pair of eyes in front of her.
Although she had expected this shift a long time ago, she took a deep breath in amazement and surprise when she saw a non-Uchiha awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan directly in front of her eyes.
And, like Homusubi, Orochimaru was caught off guard... Simultaneously, the greed in his eyes grew even more.
Danzo, who was standing at the altar, appeared to be conscious of the changes in his eyes, and his face had a relaxed expression.
However, a weird expression appeared on Danzo's face at this point, which appeared to be fear and fury, as well as a trace of imperceptible sluggishness.
"Is this it?" Homusubi mumbled, frowning...
He was able to detect that something was awry on the altar because he is used to utilizing his soul to control multiple clone bodies.
Boom…!
Danzo's body burst, accompanied by a muffled sound. He, who had previously kept practically all of the 'Chimera Buds' in his body, was unable to retain it any longer, and the 'Chimera Buds' exploded explosively.
All of the Chimera Buds spread out over the ritual altar once more in an instant.
"Chimera Buds are out of control?" Orochimaru was taken aback and mumbled.
The obvious peculiarity of Danzo on the altar alarmed not just Homusubi and Orochimaru, but also the other root shinobi present inside the volcano.
When the top research officer at the root saw Danzo had lost control of the 'Chimera Buds,' he rapidly triggered a massive device that had been put on the altar.
Pooooffff…
When the instrument was turned on, freezing mist inundated the altar, and the out-of-control 'Chimera Buds' immediately lost their vigor and withered owing to the mist's rapid cooling.
The aberration in Danzo's spirit did not go away even when the Chimera Buds lost their vigor. He knelt before the altar, his countenance changing all the time.
Homusubi was unsurprised in this regard.
Danzo's chances of succeeding in this ritual were quite slim from the very beginning, therefore what's going on right now is nothing out of the ordinary.

Chapter 654: Chapter – 647 From Expected to Unexpected
"Damn..."
With each passing second, Danzo's countenance on the altar became increasingly contorted. He appeared to be drowning, frantically grasping at anything he could find in the hope of finding a 'life-saving straw' that did not exist!
He shouted loudly, and his roar was like a low-pitched roar that didn't sound like a human voice, but rather like the roar of an evil spirit in the netherworld, which caused the hairs on the backs of others' necks to stand on end.
Danzo stumbled when it came to the evolution of the soul, and as a result, the fusion of all the Kekkei Genkai in his body came to a halt. Observing the pair of Mangekyou Sharingan in his eye sockets reveals this fact.
Sharingan is the Dojutsu that represents the soul, and the pair of Mangekyou Sharingan in Danzo's eye sockets also represents the ritual's progression at this time.
The presence of different Chakra Natures in his body, the efficiency of fusion of all those different Chakra Natures, and the speed of fusion of all those different Chakra Natures are all directly reflected by the pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, and it wouldn't be incorrect to say that that pair of Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes is the most accurate indicator of the ritual's progress.
And, based on Homusubi's observations on the newly evolved pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, the merging of all the Chakra natures in his body has actually ceased.
"Is it the end?" she sighed as she realized this. At this point, even she isn't sure whether the sigh is one of disappointment or one of relief. Homusubi couldn't decide whether she should be relieved that the ceremony had come to an end or if she should be disappointed that it had come to an end.
After all, Danzo's chances of succeeding in the ritual were as low as two percent, yet that little chance did exist. If Danzo had gotten extremely lucky and managed to successfully absorb all of the Kekkei Genkai in this ritual with the goddess of luck's blessing, he would have posed a significant threat to Amatsukami and the Shinobi World, especially since he now has a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan with unknown and mysterious abilities, as well as Hashirama Cells and the other five Kekkei Genkai in his body.
With so many powerful Kekkei Genkai, if Danzo does not die, he will undoubtedly cause difficulties that Amatsukami does not like to deal with at this time.
Homusubi–who had been frightened up until now–began to conclude the complete procedure after inhaling a choking breath.
'Let's see… Chimera Jutsu has improved, and the ceremony's intended features appear to be in good working order... This time, the preview was more successful than I had anticipated.'
'However, the issue of 'Chimera Bud's' unexpected hostile behavior and Danzo's loss of control over it is something to consider... Maybe I should conduct some investigation on this...'
To be honest, Homusubi is rather content with results. The first and second stages of the ritual, which comprised devouring and fusion, went off without a hitch; everything virtually went according to Homusubi's expectations, and the entire process was exceedingly seamless, which was a huge relief.
This clearly indicates that the advancements in 'Chimera Jutsu', as well as the ritual ceremony's arrangement, are quite good and that Kuroto may employ a similar design for his own ascendance.
Homusubi came up with these ideas while standing calmly in the same spot, waiting for Danzo to die entirely so she could get her hands on the pair of Mangekyou Sharingan in Danzo's eyes.
Not everyone, however, was as peaceful and quiet as Homusubi because of the failure of the ritual.
When the Root shinobi inside the volcano realized Danzo was likely to perish, they were concerned.
"Orochimaru, do something...," Danzo's chief researcher exclaimed as he hurried towards Orochimaru. "You must come up with a plan to rescue Hokage-sama's life!"
"Just wait and watch..." murmured Orochimaru, who didn't blink for a second and kept his gaze fixed on the ritual altar.
Homusubi grimaced as she heard Orochimaru's comments.
Anyone with perceptive eyes can see that Danzo's situation is dire and that saving him is nearly impossible. Orochimaru, on the other hand, stated these remarks with such serenity... this is unusual.
Homusubi could think of two reasons for Orochimaru's composure when speaking such statements.
To begin with, Orochimaru, like her, knows exactly why Danzo faltered and failed; as a result, he is unsurprised and has calmly accepted the reality.
Second, Orochimaru is likely to have something up his sleeve that he hasn't used yet.
Homusubi believes that the first possibility is not the case here, implying that the second option is more plausible and that the ritual has not yet been completed as she thought initially.
And her hunch turned out to be true...
At this point, Danzo, who was urgently attempting to stay alive, came to a halt, looked disoriented, and whispered, "This... what's going on?" "Where am… I?"
Homusubi frowned and whispered in amazement as she gazed at Danzo "Is it what I believe it to be? Danzo's soul was defeated by the other souls in his body, and he now has no control over it?"
Homusubi can be certain that these words were not spoken by Shimura Danzo because the tone of voice and the way of speaking were both different from what she was used to.
Orochimaru grinned, then swiftly weaved the hand gestures and screamed, "Kai!" as Homusubi was stunned.
A series of black symbols erupted out of Danzo's flesh in an instant, and they spread all over his body in the blink of an eye.
"Curse Seal? When did he put it in Danzo's body? Is it possible that it happened during the transformation process?" Homusubi expressed her skepticism with a whispered remark.
These sign markings are plainly familiar to Homusubi... This is Orochimaru's Curse Seal, which he created utilizing his own Chakra and Jugo's DNA makeup that has the power to absorb Natural Energy dissipated in Heaven and Earth.
And, as far as Homusubi could tell, Orochimaru's sole opportunity of implanting the Curse on Danzo's body was during the transformation procedure.
Because neither Homusubi nor the chief researcher of Root has as much knowledge in the field of Body Transformation as Orochimaru, effectively supervising all of his actions was a difficult task; additionally, Danzo's guard was a little down against Orochimaru during the transformation operation, so that was the ideal opportunity for Orochimaru.
And, in retrospect, he did make the most of that perfect opportunity.
Now back to the ritual in front.
New alterations occurred once the Curse seal implanted on Danzo was activated.
The pair of Mangekyou Sharingan in Danzo's eye socket began to transform, even though his expression remained a little lethargic. The black inner circles of the metallic gear-like pattern in the scarlet wheel began to gently rotate again, indicating that... "The fusion of several Chakra Natures has been re-established!" Homusubi screamed in disbelief!
She glanced at Orochimaru in astonishment and clicked her tongue in annoyance, 'Tch, I underestimated him... It appears that he devised a solution to the problem of soul fusion...'
Orochimaru's implanting of such a seal on Danzo is proof of this.
However, Orochimaru's approach to solving the problem is barbarous... 'Destroying everyone's souls isn't the way to go!' she reasoned.
Orochimaru's strategy is to use Natural Energy's erosive tendency to dissolve the souls of others by eroding the Chakra that bears a person's soul signature. If that particular Chakra vanishes, the soul will inevitably vanish as well.
Although this strategy works, Homusubi believes it is terribly barbarous and will undoubtedly cause future difficulties.
And the ritual's next phase unfolded exactly as Homusubi had predicted.
All of the souls in Danzo's body began to erode as Natural Energy invaded; as a result, the conflict between different souls reduced, and the sluggish ritual progressed once again.
As the ritual advanced, the pair of Mangekyou Sharingan in Danzo's eyes began to evolve even further...
The pattern changed a little, and the black sections got a little bigger...
Those eyes have evolved yet again...
"Those are the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?" muttered Homusubi, "From a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan to a pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, this time."
And, after seeing this sight, Homusubi, who had been able to retain her equanimity up until now, could no longer do so.
Never in her wildest dreams could she imagine such a dramatic change of events tonight.
The ritual ceremony has now veered off into unpredictable territory!
Even Orochimaru was taken aback... He glanced at the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan with a desperate look in his serpent-like eyes and whispered in shock... "It turns out that Mangekyou Sharingan isn't the final phase of Sharingan evolution... There's still another level above..."
