With the powerful reconnaissance abilities of the Sharingan, the Taijutsu prowess of the Kaguya clan is nothing but a joke.
Honestly, even if the Kaguya clan members were insane, the Uchiha wouldn't fear them. After all, not everyone is as formidable as Kimimaro.
Even if Kimimaro were to return, he wouldn't necessarily pose a significant threat to the Uchiha.
Due to their unique Kekkei Genkai, the Kaguya clan never needed to study various combat techniques or continuously enhance their Taijutsu.
Their ability to fight using their Kekkei Genkai alone was sufficient to make them powerful warriors. However, it's a pity that all ten members of the Kaguya clan who awaken their Kekkei Genkai also suffer from a bloodline disease.
This disease is incurable and can only be suppressed with medication. Unfortunately, the availability of this medication has been steadily decreasing.
The battle erupted, and the beach became a battleground.
Kaguya Hōmei locked his eyes on Takuya. Judging from the number and length of the bone spikes protruding from his body, it was clear he was powerful. His strength as an elite Jonin was indisputable.
If his weaknesses were addressed and his mental state normalized, this man would undoubtedly be Kage-level.
In fact, most Kage-level shinobi aren't significantly stronger than elite Jonin. What sets Kage-level shinobi apart is their minimal weaknesses. They can handle various types of battles and face different enemies with ease. If these weaknesses are rectified, elite Jonin can be classified as Kage-level.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Two figures, one tall and one short, clashed continuously, the sound of weapons and bone spikes colliding ringing out as broken bone fragments fell to the ground.
Calmly, Takuya gripped the Raijin Sword and deflected Kaguya Hōmei's attacks.
After a round of combat, most of the sharp bone spikes covering Hōmei's body had been sliced off by the Raijin Sword.
The Raijin Sword without chakra was just a decorative piece. Infused with fierce lightning chakra, it became a divine weapon.
The stronger the wielder, the more formidable the Raijin Sword becomes.
No matter how sturdy bones are, they are still bones. These spikes couldn't withstand the sharpness of the Raijin Sword and were sliced off, falling to the ground.
"Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!"
Hōmei leaped into the air, bending his massive, muscular body at an impossible angle. It was hard to believe that such a large man could perform such a high-level maneuver, especially mid-air.
Both his hands and feet were aimed at Takuya.
Bone bullets, as sharp as actual projectiles, shot out, enveloping Takuya.
"Lightning Style: Thunder Slash!"
The lightning surrounding the Raijin Sword intensified, the violent chakra extending the sword's glow as it slashed downward.
As the light blade cut through, the bone bullets shattered mid-air, scattering to the ground.
"Boom!"
Two deep footprints were left on the ground as Takuya's figure disappeared, leaving only an afterimage. He reappeared next to Hōmei, thrusting the Raijin Sword towards his heart.
"Heh heh heh! Bone Shield!"
Hōmei laughed as he allowed the Raijin Sword to strike him. In the moment it hit, a thick layer of bone covered his chest, blocking the sword's edge.
"Crack!"
After piercing two layers of bone, the Raijin Sword was halted.
"Kekeke! Die, brat!"
"Dance of the Larch!"
The Raijin Sword was stuck, locked in place by Hōmei's bone. New bone spikes emerged as Hōmei twisted his body, aiming to pierce Takuya with multiple punctures and destroy the sword.
"...This weapon was a gift from Tsunade. You want to destroy it?"
Takuya's face darkened, the three-tomoe Sharingan spinning rapidly.
"Are you going to dance? Should I play you some music?"
A black skeletal arm slammed down towards Hōmei. He paused, stunned at the sight of the arm barreling down.
The sky darkened. What was this thing?
Bones?
"Boom!"
The beach trembled with the impact. Hōmei screamed as he was sent flying, the bone spikes on his body shattered, even his bone shield cracked. The Raijin Sword emerged intact, retrieved by Takuya.
"What is that?"
The sudden turn of events brought everything to a halt. Even Uchiha Fugaku, who had activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, was staring at the skeletal figure around Takuya in astonishment.
And the massive arm that had struck down Hōmei.
"Lord Takuya's eyes..."
Everyone knew Takuya had Uchiha blood, but they were drawn to the black skeletal frame around him and caught sight of his unique Sharingan.
"What...is this?"
The expert in bone manipulation, now injured by bone, lay on the ground, stunned. He didn't even bother to replace his shattered spikes, staring in shock at Takuya surrounded by the skeletal armor.
"This is Susanoo!"
Hōmei suddenly shouted in alarm.
Though not unfamiliar to the Kaguya clan, Susanoo was feared. Once, it was Uchiha Madara wielding Susanoo that had driven them out of the Land of Fire.
This painful history was well known to every Kaguya clan head, and it was why Hōmei recognized Susanoo amidst everyone else's confusion.
The other Kaguya ninjas were puzzled, even the Uchiha themselves didn't fully comprehend.
They only noticed Takuya's Sharingan had changed.
It evolved from the three-tomoe into an intricate hook-shaped pinwheel design, with hook edges connected by rippling circles, signifying the uniqueness of these eyes.
"Not bad!"
Takuya checked the Raijin Sword. He hadn't expected the weapon to come so close to destruction; he had underestimated the hardness of Hōmei's bones.
An attack he thought would be decisive was blocked, the Raijin Sword stuck and nearly snapped.
Thankfully, his quick reaction saved it. He couldn't let the sword, a gift from Tsunade even if obtained from a lost bet, be destroyed.
The black bones encasing Takuya grew, forming a complete skeleton frame, two hands now in place.
"Since you Kaguya like to play with bones, I'll play with you."
Not good!
Hōmei's eyes widened as he rolled away. The next moment, Susanoo's fist smashed into the ground.
A deep crater formed, surrounded by cracks, as if a giant spiderweb had been drawn on the earth.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Susanoo's fists came down again and again, forcing Hōmei to flee in disarray.
"Yagami Takuya, don't be so arrogant!"
But the only response was another giant black fist. Takuya didn't bother with words; actions spoke for themselves.
You like playing with bones?
You want to break my weapon?
Try breaking Susanoo instead.
Arrogant? Yes.
Oppressive? Absolutely.
And what could Hōmei do about it?
"Kill!"
Uchiha Fugaku, having regained his composure, led his clansmen in resuming the battle with the Kaguya ninjas. He hadn't expected Takuya to reveal his Mangekyō Sharingan now, or to use Susanoo with such ease. Clearly, Takuya had practiced in secret.
Did he not fear the cost of using his eyes? Fugaku, having just awakened his own Mangekyō, was all too aware of
