Kapitel 104: Chapter 103-New Limbs

Before Renjiro had his outburst, Ohashi was busy digging into one of his eye sockets. So the repulsion force he got hit by from the shockwave was all he needed to finally get one of Renjiro's eyes, although he lost it just before losing consciousness.

'My body just feels different.' Renjiro surmised.

Losing an eye was not as fun as many would think, and that was what Renjiro was feeling. He felt empty like he had a void that gnawed at the very core of his being.

But even as the pain he felt all over his body and his eyes threatened to overwhelm him, Renjiro's thoughts were drawn to a different sensation. He felt that there was something different with his body, no it wasn't his missing eye, it was something else. The worst thing was that Renjiro could neither trace nor explain what it was.

While Renjiro was still trying to get a hold of his current predicament, Ohashi sent out Lightning bullets directly towards him.

'Ooh, I had forgotten about him.' Renjiro thought as he wanted to roll over to avoid the lightning bullets.

But something strange happened when he tried to do so. When he thought of avoiding the incoming attacks, he had planned to use his arms and in one motion rollover.

This was not what happened as Renjiro's body was moved by what appeared to be huge metallic gleaming chains.

'What...?'

Renjiro's heart raced as he struggled to make sense of the sudden emergence of chains from his torso. Each metallic link seemed to gleam with energy, Renjiro guessed that it was Chakra.

'Did I finally get my second Chakra seinou?'

"What the hell is that?" Ohashi questioned as he witnessed Renjiro seemingly dodge his lightning bullets.

'Finally! Though this is good, if it happened earlier maybe I wouldn't have lost my eye. I just hope I get some way to fix it.'

As Renjiro concentrated, a sense of clarity washed over him, suffusing his being with newfound purpose. With a mere thought, he commanded the chains to retract, and to his amazement, they obeyed, coiling back into his body with an almost serpentine grace.

'Great! It feels like I have gotten new limbs.'

Renjiro's eyes widened in awe as he realized the true extent of his newfound power. He continued manipulating it in various directions before concluding,

'But it takes up more chakra than I expected, especially now when I do not have much to use. I need to deal with Ohashi quickly. He is responsible for the gap on my face, it's only fine If I return the favour.'

"Blitz!"

The person in question did not give up and sent another set of lightning bullets towards Renjiro.

When Renjiro saw the bullets approaching, he instinctively raised his hand, summoning forth a barrier to deflect the oncoming onslaught of lightning bullets.

With a flick of his wrist, the bullets collided with the ethereal barrier, sending ripples of energy cascading through the air before dissipating into nothingness.

'Now this is better, it is vastly different from any Barrier ninjutsu I learnt and also more efficient. Nothing much was shown and said about this sub ability of it. If I keep working on it maybe I could improve it to Susanno levels.'

With each passing moment, Renjiro felt his connection to the chains growing stronger. He knew that with time and practice, he would learn to wield their power with precision and skill, becoming an unstoppable force on the battlefield.

But for now, Renjiro focused on the task at hand. As Renjiro prepared to counter Ohashi, He saw the latter making hand signs. Ohashi then bit his thumb before a large cloud of smoke suddenly appeared all around the two.

'What is he trying to do?'

Renjiro thought as he tried to see through the smoke around him. He was already finding it hard to see with one of his eyes, but now even that was made harder with the smoke. With his vision near obscured, Renjiro gave up and decided to just rely on his Chakra field.

Renjiro focused inward, reaching out with his chakra senses to feel the chakra around him. Despite the dense smoke obscuring his vision, he could still perceive the subtle fluctuations in the chakra field, like ripples on the surface of a pond disturbed by an unseen force.

"Wait why am I sensing my Chakra?" Renjiro muttered as he flickered to the unidentified source. It was only a couple of feet from him.

What Renjiro met was his missing eye. It seemed that it was still exuding his chakra.

'Thank God, with a bit of Medical Ninjutsu this would be reattached back.'

Renjiro said as he stored the eye in one of his storage seals. He could not just pop it back into its eye socket and hope that his regeneration kick in and solve a majority of his problems.

Renjiro feared that it was somehow infected so he chose to abandon that option. While that could still be fixed with Medical Ninjutsu, Renjiro did not want to risk it even though he was still in the middle of a fight.

As Renjiro used his chakra field again, he sensed a large malicious chakra before he heard a loud Roar.

"Roar!"

Renjiro's attention immediately snapped back to the present after the roar reverberated through the air. It was a sound that sent shivers down his spine.

'Did he summon something? The chakra I sensed was not as much as what I sensed from Kushina. But then again, Kurama had the largest Chakra reserves bar Ten-tails.'

Suddenly the dense smoke began to disperse, revealing an unexpected sight. It was a golden Leopard Turtle, its form massive and imposing, its shell adorned with intricate patterns that gleamed in the faint light.

Renjiro could scarcely believe his eyes as he beheld the awe-inspiring sight before him, the sheer scale of the creature dwarfing even the formidable figure of Ohashi Kurogane.

"What is it Kurogane?" The giant Leopard Turtle asked.

"I need help Mizuki," Ohashi began, "I need time to heal so that I can use that."

"Who do you need help against?" Mizuki, the giant Leopard Turtle, asked.

"Him" Ohashi pointed at Renjiro.

Mizuki turned his body and looked at Renjiro. Even with that distance, he was able to see the Young shinobi and even see through him!

"Why are you fighting an Uzumaki? I thought your clan knew better than this?" Mizuki asked.

"Wait, Uzumaki? What do you mean by-" Mizuki interrupted Ohashi as he used one of his limbs and forced him into his shell.

'Good thing he is still so young. I can just kill him and then get some rest.'

Before Renjiro could react, the golden turtle surged forward with astonishing speed, closing the distance between them in the blink of an eye.

Despite its immense weight, the creature moved with an agility and swiftness that seemed to defy the laws of physics, its movements deft and precise.

And with a suddenness that took Renjiro by surprise, the golden turtle came to a halt before him.

But as quickly as it had appeared, the creature opened its massive jaws, unleashing a torrent of green, viscous liquid in Renjiro's direction.

But to Mizuki's surprise, the noxious substance never reached him. Instead, it splattered against an invisible barrier surrounding him, the adamantine chains he had recently awakened pulsating with a faint blue glow as their barrier repelled the attack.

'It is either poison or an acid.'

Renjiro thought as he observed the dark green smoke rising from the area where Mizuki's acidic attack had landed, which was all around the barrier. This confirmed his suspicions about its corrosive nature.

'This barrier sure is handy. But with that said how am I going to deal with this huge turtle?'

Kapitel 105: Chapter 104-Open Surgery

Before making a move, Renjiro knelt down beside the barrier and focused his concentration on allowing a small portion of the substance Mizuki had used to attack him to pass through.

'Let's see if I can handle his attacks.'

As the green liquid seeped into the barrier, Renjiro extended his hand towards it, his fingertips making contact with the substance.

'It feels fine.'

Renjiro's relief washed over him as he realized that, despite the unsettling sensation of the liquid against his skin, it had failed to inflict any significant harm. With a sense of reassurance, he deactivated the barrier, allowing it to dissipate as he retracted the chains back into his body.

The acidic liquid came at him with force, but since he was immune to it, it only affected the lower part of his pants and the sandals he was wearing. This was bearable as Renjiro did not really need them while fighting.

'Ohashi is somewhere inside this turtle. I just need to go through it. Attacking from above isn't an option since I am sure the shell would be really hard. I don't know how strong these chains are, at least my version, but I will have to make do with them.'

With a plan in mind, Renjiro began to move. His movements were swift and decisive as he manifested two adamantine chains and willed them to extend and ensnare the huge turtle before him.

With practised precision, the chains coiled around the creature's neck, constricting tightly as Renjiro slowly retracted them so as to gain enough force to propel himself onto its massive shell.

As he landed atop the turtle's back, Renjiro could feel the sturdy carapace beneath his feet, its surface rough and textured against his palms. It felt like he was on a rocky hill or mountain. Gripping firmly onto the shell for balance, Renjiro steadied himself.

Unlike his movement speed, Mizuki was actually slow in reacting when Renjiro wrapped his chains around the Turtle's neck. He found it hard to free himself, but Renjiro attributed that to the chains nullifying his chakra and making him weak.

With the chains securely wrapped around the turtle's neck, Renjiro knew that he had gained a strategic advantage. His plan was to flip the turtle over and attack its underbelly.

It was not the best of plans, but it was the only one Renjiro could come up with at the moment. He had already considered attacking Mizuki's head or any of his exposed limbs, but that could force him to retreat back to its shell.

Besides being forced to wait for it to come out, Renjiro wouldn't know what to expect as maybe the turtle had a healing mechanism when he retreated back to his shell. If it did then it would eventually undo Renjiro's damage, which was something Renjiro didn't want.

While his plan had its own merit, Renjiro had a huge obstacle on his way to a successful execution. That was if he would be able to flip over Mizuki, to expose its underbelly.

Renjiro knew that the chains could be strong enough to bind a tailed beast, that too a very strong one, but he did not know if the chains were strong enough to flip a summon of similar size over. In conclusion, Renjiro's plan was mainly faith rather than chance.

'Now I'm up, so the next step is binding his limbs.'

Renjiro manifested another four chains and increased their sizes so that they could match the two earlier ones around Mizuki's neck. After the chains increased to an acceptable size, he willed the four to go in opposite directions. Each of them was targeting each of Mizuki's limbs.

The four massive chains snaked around with precision along the pre-ordained path of their master, all except one.

Renjiro wasn't sure why the chain supposed to get Mizuki's left frontal limb missed its target and actually hit the summon's large, hard shell. Maybe it was the mental fatigue he was accumulating control of the chains that was finally getting to him.

"Boom!" The sound of chain and shell colliding reverberated on the battlefield.

One hard to know that since Renjiro wanted to bind Mizuki as fast as possible, the chains had to be travelling at high speeds. So when the chain met the shell, the amount of force the chain hit it was strong.

The impact was strong enough to cause a significant portion of the turtle's shell to fracture and break away, revealing the vulnerability of Mizuki's formidable defences as well as his lime skin, much to Renjiro's surprise.

"Wait, it can do that?" Renjiro couldn't help but mutter. His eyes widened in astonishment at the strength of his adamantine chains.

"YOU INSOLENT BRAT!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY MAJESTIC SHELL!!" Mizuki cried, still struggling to free himself from Renjiro's chains.

Renjiro did not pay attention to the summon's cries since his mind was racing as he quickly reassessed his approach.

'So the shell wasn't as hard as I thought it was. If I can use them to attack the shell, then why not? Trying to flip it over seems more daunting than this.'

With a steely determination, Renjiro resolved to exploit this newfound weakness, recognizing that any advantage he could gain against his formidable opponent would be crucial in turning the tide of battle in his favour.

Renjiro concentrated his chakra once more and summoned forth additional chains of comparable size and stature.

With a swift and decisive motion, he lifted the chains and aimed directly at the turtle's shell. Renjiro then began spinning them in a drill motion. He figured that it would help his penetration power.

"Ohashi may have thought that summoning you would keep him safe or even buy him more time," Renjiro began, "But all he's done is provide me with a live target to test my new ability."

As the chains hurtled through the air with unparalleled speed and accuracy, Renjiro braced himself for the impact.

"Boom!" The chains hit their mark as holes formed in Mizuki's previously impenetrable shell.

"MY SHELL!!! Please stop it!" Mizuki filled the area with his loud cries, a shrill sound that reverberated with the force of his anguish, which did not move Renjiro in the slightest.

Renjiro continued with his relentless assault on Mizuki's shell driving his chains relentlessly into the weakened shell with each successive blow.

The worst thing was that Mizuki couldn't even reverse-summon himself because Renjiro's chains were nullifying his chakra. The only thing he could do was lay there while Renjiro was performing open surgery on him.

The sight of his shattered shell proved to be too much for Ohashi to bear, and in a desperate bid to his summon, he revoked the summoning.

In an instant, Mizuki vanished from sight, leaving behind only the remnants of his broken shell as a testament to the ferocity of Renjiro's assault.

Renjiro, who was Caught off guard by the abrupt change, lost his balance and tumbled to the ground.

"Aaargh!! I was actually thinking of letting you go, but now you have to pay for this!!" Ohashi's expression contorted with a mixture of rage and disbelief.

"Let's not lie to ourselves," Renjiro chuckled before continuing, "The moment you decided to target my eyes was when our fates became sealed. One of us isn't going to leave here with their lives, and their lives, and isn't going to be me."

Renjiro retrieved his staff, separated it into bladed batons and closed the distance between him and Ohashi.

Renjiro did not want to waste his Ninjutsu on Ohashi as his reserves were already low and he wanted to kill Ohashi with his hands. With him accumulating pure anger and hatred for the shinobi due to the loss of his eye, this was something he was going to enjoy.

Sharing the same sentiments, Ohashi didn't bother dodging, he simply flared his chakra, finally deciding to use the final card up his sleeve.

While Ohashi was sure Mizuki would a long time to recover, and probably sever their summoning contract, he was grateful that the summon had brought him some time to recover. He needed to be in good physical condition to activate his transformation.

As Ohashi began transforming, Renjiro paid keen attention and even decided to wait for him to complete it. He had already resolved to end his life, so why would he hurry things? He wanted Ohashi to feel and experience the same anguish he had earlier promised and even given him before his outburst.

After Ohashi completed his transformation, Renjiro was clearly disappointed.

'I knew he was desperate, but was he also this dumb?'
