Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Ame-no-Uzume’s Eternal Standing, Kuni-no-Tokotachi’s Eternal Standing

"You seem quite pleased?"

As the barrier dissipated, Uchiha Xuan’s icy words rang out from behind. Danzo Shimura whipped his head around to see Uchiha Xuan, who should have been sealed within the Four Symbols Seal, now standing behind him.

Zap!

A spear of lightning instantly pierced through Danzo Shimura’s chest.

Chidori Sharp Spear!!

At the same time, Danzo Shimura suddenly realized that everything around him had come to a complete standstill. Everyone in the vicinity seemed frozen in place.

For a moment, Danzo immediately thought he had fallen under a Genjutsu, but the next instant—

A searing pain swept through his entire body, and Danzo’s single eye widened to its limit.

It was the Lightning Release Chakra of the Chidori Sharp Spear, running completely wild inside him.

The aura of death instantly enveloped his entire being, and Danzo’s consciousness was violently pulled back to the moment that had determined the course of his entire life.

That...

That scar of fate he could never overcome!

If only... if only he had taken that step before Hiruzen...

Ah, he remembered now... So it was because he had been surrounded by the fear of death back then that he hadn’t taken that step...

So I... I’ve actually been forcing myself to forget that fear all along...

But!

This was never my fault!!

The ones at fault are Senju Tobirama! And Sarutobi Hiruzen! It... it absolutely cannot be me, Danzo Shimura!!

"Uchiha Xuan!!"

"You Uchiha are an inherently evil clan! If it weren’t for Senju Tobirama’s indulgence, how could you have gained authority over the Police Department?

If it weren’t for Sarutobi Hiruzen’s indecisiveness, how could you have grown to this point! Senju Tobirama was wrong! Sarutobi Hiruzen was wrong too!!

If!!! If it were me in charge!! You..."

Thwack!

A golden spear instantly pinned the roaring Danzo Shimura to the ground. The next moment, several slender golden needles materialized out of thin air and, in the blink of an eye, stitched Danzo’s mouth shut.

Blood flowed freely as Danzo’s entire body twisted in agony under the spear’s restraint.

He wanted to roar, to prove his righteousness, but he couldn’t make a sound. The golden threads hadn’t just sewn his mouth shut—they had also instantly sliced his tongue into several tiny fragments.

Not only that, the spear piercing his body was continuously using a power he couldn’t comprehend to repair his injuries, preventing him from dying altogether.

"To be honest, I’ve wanted to do this to you for a very long time. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to meet you."

As he spoke, Uchiha Xuan condensed another golden spear in his palm and drove it into Danzo Shimura’s body once more.

Unable to die and unable to break free from the golden spears’ restraints, Danzo could only fix Uchiha Xuan with a vicious glare.

"Old man, are you wondering why I’m treating you like this?"

Once again forming a spear in his hand, Uchiha Xuan gazed at Danzo Shimura with a mocking tone, his eyes indifferent as if looking at trash.

With a slight movement of his palm, the golden spear thrust forward once more. Lightning Release Chakra coiled around the spear like needles, and as it pierced Danzo, the Lightning Release Chakra instantly ran rampant within his body, tearing it apart.

Yet, the first spear embedded in Danzo’s body continuously used the Reversal Technique to repair his damaged internal organs.

Destruction, repair, destruction, repair.

This cycle repeated endlessly...

Unable to live, unable to die, not even capable of the simplest scream—such agony twisted Danzo Shimura’s face beyond recognition.

"Unfortunately, I won’t give you any answers."

Uchiha Xuan smiled faintly and raised a hand. The space around Danzo began to tear, as if a piece were being ripped from a sheet of paper.

After completely tearing the space surrounding Danzo, Uchiha Xuan gently clenched his fist. The torn space was forcibly compressed into a lower dimension, transforming into an irregular sheet of paper floating before him.

"Someone like you doesn’t deserve to be killed by me. So... I grant you the same lifespan as mine. You will have no corpse, no soul—only endless torment within this sealed space. This is my gift to you. No need to thank me."

A trickle of blood appeared on Uchiha Xuan’s cheek, and within his eye sockets, the Mangekyo Sharingan shimmered with an eerie light.

The left eye’s Ocular Jutsu, Ame-no-Uzume’s Eternal Standing, lived up to its name as the root deity governing eternity and the order of time. Its manifestation allowed him to completely freeze time for himself and everything within a fifty-meter radius, with the duration determined by his Ocular Power.

Danzo’s perception of everything around him coming to a standstill was precisely the effect of this jutsu.

As for the ability to seal Danzo within a small, torn fragment of space—that was the right eye’s Ocular Jutsu, Kuni-no-Tokotachi’s Eternal Standing. Corresponding to the time deity Ame-no-Uzume, this was the deity of space, whose authority lay in the eternal endurance of land and realm. In terms of ocular ability, it could seal an entire space and artificially "compress" its dimensions, or... banish it.

Uchiha Xuan was deeply satisfied with the awakening of these two Ocular Jutsu.

As for why he had awakened such abilities, Uchiha Xuan had his own theories. The Sharingan, as the eye that reflects the heart, manifested abilities entirely based on the user’s innermost desires.

The temporal power of his left eye stemmed from Uchiha Xuan’s slight unease upon realizing Uzumaki Mito’s impending death and understanding that death was an inevitable experience for all. This sparked his desire for "eternity," which the Sharingan then amplified and realized.

The spatial power of his right eye, however, reflected the deepest layers of Uchiha Xuan’s psyche. At his core, he had always been profoundly arrogant.

He clearly understood the true nature of the Ninja World. The secret of his transmigration endowed Uchiha Xuan with an unprecedented pride and a dismissive attitude toward this world.

To Uchiha Xuan’s inner self, the entire Ninja World was merely a stepping stone to accessing supernatural power. With the Mist Space at his disposal, he was destined to surpass even the so-called Otsutsuki God.

His gaze had never been fixed upon the Ninja World, nor upon those so-called divine clans, the Ōtsutsuki.

The disparity in power was merely a matter of time.

But the nobility of his identity was absolutely unparalleled.

He originated from a higher dimension, and thus, under the power of the Sharingan, this awareness gave birth to an Ocular Jutsu such as [Kuni-no-Tokotachi’s Eternal Standing].

This was a difference in status!
