Chapter 068: The Terrifying Dōjutsu That Even Kaguya Fears!
Chapter 068: The Terrifying Dōjutsu That Even Kaguya Fears!
In the livestream of the Golden List, a pair of Rinne Sharingan appeared on the screen. Kaguya Otsutsuki immediately recognized those eyes—they were her own.
"My Rinne Sharingan is only ranked third????" Kaguya was stunned.
She had believed that her Rinne Sharingan would undoubtedly take the first place, or at the very least, the second. The reality of it being ranked third was hard for her to accept. The shock was so great that her consciousness wavered, and she nearly fell back into slumber under the power of the seal.
Meanwhile, Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki were equally shocked.
Hagoromo recognized his mother's eyes as well. "Mother's Rinne Sharingan... it means her eyes only ranked third!" he murmured.
This outcome was beyond his expectations. In the ninja world, his mother was the progenitor of chakra, and her Rinne Sharingan was the origin of all dōjutsu. Under such circumstances, for there to be dōjutsu that surpassed hers was astonishing. It either meant that the other dōjutsu was incredibly terrifying, or that the wielder's power far exceeded his mother's, leading to a higher evaluation of their dōjutsu.
"However, this might be for the best. At least it means the rewards she will receive won't be too overwhelming," Hagoromo muttered to himself.
He didn't hate his mother; he simply didn't want her to disrupt the peace of the ninja world. A world dominated by death and despair was not the future he desired. Therefore, his mother remaining sealed within the moon was the ideal outcome.
Hamura Otsutsuki, sharing his brother's sentiments, was also satisfied with the ranking. However, if the third-place reward were enough to break their mother's seal, they knew there was little they could do to stop her.
[Tsunade: That's the Rinne Sharingan—it belongs to Kaguya Otsutsuki! The Rinne Sharingan is only ranked third!]
[Uchiha Madara: Surprising. Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan isn't ranked first, and it didn't even make second place. It only managed to secure third!]
[Great Toad Sage: I'm also surprised. Kaguya is immensely powerful. If not for a stroke of luck, she might never have been successfully sealed. For her Rinne Sharingan to not take first place—just how terrifying are the top two dōjutsu?]
[White Snake Sage: Could it be that the top two dōjutsu belong to Ye Tian? Ye Tian already possesses two different dōjutsu in a single pair of eyes, which is astounding. If he has two more, it would break all known rules.]
[Kurama: Who knows? Ye Tian might just be that extraordinary!]
[Shukaku: I've figured it out—Ye Tian is an absolute monster, terrifying and deeply hidden.]
[Might Guy: I used to think Ye Tian was purely a taijutsu master, but now I find out he's also a dōjutsu user with such terrifying abilities. It's unbelievable!]
[Kakashi: It really doesn't make sense. While taijutsu and dōjutsu don't conflict, most ninja with powerful dōjutsu aren't known for their taijutsu, and those who excel in taijutsu usually don't have dōjutsu.]
[Third Hokage: Could Ye Tian be stronger than Kaguya Otsutsuki?]
[Third Tsuchikage: It's hard to say. Kaguya's power isn't limited to just her dōjutsu. She might have other methods we're unaware of. It's difficult to determine whether Ye Tian or Kaguya is stronger.]
[Gaara: We don't really know the gap between the top ten dōjutsu. If the difference isn't that big, then the gap between one dōjutsu and several might not be significant.]
[Senju Hashirama: Someday, the Golden List should release a power ranking. Then we'll know who's stronger. Debating this now is pointless. Plus, with the Golden List constantly changing, those who rank could still grow stronger. The future number one in the ninja world is still undecided!]
[Uchiha Madara: Hashirama isn't wrong. Who knows, maybe the future number one in the ninja world will be me, Uchiha Madara!]
"Master, Kaguya Otsutsuki's Rinne Sharingan is ranked third. The top two must be your dōjutsu!" Kumoko exclaimed.
In truth, she didn't know how many dōjutsu Ye Tian possessed since he would never reveal all of his secrets to her.
"They should both be mine," Ye Tian said calmly.
Kumoko immediately looked at him with admiration. "Master, you're amazing! To think you possess the top two dōjutsu on the list. If we count the Contract Eye and Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, that makes four different dōjutsu! My Evil Eyes might have eight, but they're all the same type of dōjutsu, just with eight different abilities."
Ye Tian gently patted her head. "Kumoko, your Evil Eyes have great potential. If you continue to work hard and develop their abilities, surpassing Kaguya's Rinne Sharingan won't be an issue."
"Really? Then I'll definitely work hard!" Kumoko nodded obediently.
Soon after, the second-ranked dōjutsu was revealed.
The screen in the livestream showed a pair of gray eyes. Just looking at them made it feel as if time itself had frozen.
[Kakashi: What kind of eyes are these? Just a glance makes my whole body feel like it's been locked in place. It's so uncomfortable—truly terrifying!]
[Might Guy: No wonder this dōjutsu surpasses the Rinne Sharingan. It must have unimaginable abilities!]
[Uchiha Madara: These eyes seem beyond my expectations. They must be much more powerful than the Rinne Sharingan!]
"These eyes!" Kaguya's pupils contracted sharply, and for the first time, she felt a hint of fear.
Not even the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception or Kumoko's Evil Eyes had instilled fear in her. The potential of Kumoko's Evil Eyes only made her wary. But these eyes... they truly frightened her.
"These eyes must belong to Master! His eyes are too powerful!" Garaga exclaimed in reverence.
Neither Kumoko nor Garaga knew what these eyes were, but one person did—Beerus. As Ye Tian's first pet and most trusted companion, Beerus knew Ye Tian better than anyone.
He had witnessed Ye Tian's rise and was familiar with many of Ye Tian's powerful abilities, including this dōjutsu.
"Master's Candle Dragon Eyes, the eyes that control time. Master mentioned wanting to master these eyes. Back then, they were only in their embryonic stage, but it seems they are now fully developed!" Beerus murmured.
He had experienced the embryonic power of the Candle Dragon Eyes firsthand. Just one glance had immobilized him, not only physically but also mentally and consciously. It was a long time before he regained his senses.
Later, he learned that it was because his master had frozen time, and his power at the time was too weak to break free. When time was frozen, everything stopped—air ceased to flow, molecules stopped moving, and everything remained unchanged. Even lifespan became static.
His master once said that although human lifespans were relatively short, with the power to slow his own time flow, he could outlive others by tens of thousands of years, living an alternative form of immortality.
At the time, Beerus didn't fully understand, but now, with a better grasp of the concept of time, he understood it much more clearly.
His master also mentioned that the short lifespan of humans was due to the rules of the ninja world. Even Ye Tian found it difficult to break these rules to extend his life, unlike beasts, who had it easier. But with the rewards from the Golden List, his master's lifespan was no longer a concern. The Golden List provided many treasures that could extend lifespan, ignoring the rules of the ninja world.
Finally, the introduction of the Candle Dragon Eyes appeared.
[Dōjutsu Ranking, Second Place: Ye Tian, wielder of the Candle Dragon Eyes. This dōjutsu allows the user to manipulate time, freezing it completely so that everything turns motionless. It can also accelerate or decelerate time, and even reverse it. By reversing time, the dead can be brought back to life, and destroyed buildings, landscapes, skies, and all things can be restored to a previous state. It can also be applied to oneself, reverting an aging body to its younger state, although it cannot extend lifespan.]
At this moment, countless people were stunned as they witnessed the abilities of the Candle Dragon's Eye.
[Gaara: Such terrifying eyes, controlling time, freezing everything in place, and even reversing time to restore the past. This is incredibly powerful!]
[Tsunade: Doesn't this mean the Candle Dragon's Eye can casually revive people? Ye Tian's Angel Staff can resurrect people, and now the Candle Dragon's Eye can too!]
[Uchiha Madara: Reviving people with the Candle Dragon's Eye isn't that simple. If the person has just died, it's easy to bring them back. But if they've been dead for a long time, reversing time in that specific place by decades or even longer comes with a huge cost, something even the Candle Dragon's Eye can't achieve.]
[Senju Hashirama: Madara has a point. Reviving someone who died recently would be very easy, but bringing back someone who's been dead for a long time would likely require a treasure like the Angel Staff to do so effortlessly. Even so, the Candle Dragon's Eye is terrifying!]
[Third Tsuchikage: I'm just envious that the Candle Dragon's Eye can reverse the time of one's body, restoring it to its youthful state. That way, I could become young again, and my old back pain would be gone!]
[Third Hokage: Haha, even if you reverse time, Third Tsuchikage, you'd still be a shorty!]
[Third Tsuchikage: Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're attacking me personally! I declare war on you!!!]
At this moment, the Third Tsuchikage was very angry. His short stature was a flaw, a taboo, and very few people mentioned it because it made him incredibly furious. Unexpectedly, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, dared to bring it up.
[Third Hokage: Fine, come to the belly of the Shinigami, and we'll have a duel!]
[Third Tsuchikage: Get lost! I can still live another hundred years; I'm not going to kill myself to find you!]
[Kakuzu: The Candle Dragon's Eye can not only revive people, but it can also restore things. If a precious item is broken, you can reverse time to restore it! If a valuable treasure is shattered, buy it at a low price immediately and use the Candle Dragon's Eye to restore it. That's an easy profit! Or if a place is destroyed, get paid to repair it. Making money would be so simple!]
[Fourth Raikage A: Kakuzu, you're really something. You'd think of making money if you had the Candle Dragon's Eye? Why not consider making money by reviving people? If someone loses a loved one, pay up, and they'll be revived instantly. You could become as wealthy as a nation!]
[Kakuzu: Hmm, that's not a bad idea. If I had the Candle Dragon's Eye, I might try it out!]
[Fourth Raikage A:]
[Hidan:]
[Uchiha Itachi:]
[Konan:]
"Candle Dragon's Eye, yet another unfamiliar dōjutsu. Freezing time... I wonder if it can freeze the time I'm in. If I can withstand it, then I can resist the Candle Dragon's Eye. If I can't, then I'm at its mercy!" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki thought to herself.
Of course, she was still confident in her own strength, believing she wouldn't be completely frozen by the Candle Dragon's Eye. At most, her speed would slow down, her power would be suppressed, or she'd be briefly immobilized. However, she couldn't deny that the Candle Dragon's Eye posed a significant threat to her, so she needed to be cautious.
"Even if I manage to escape in the future, I'll need to test his strength!" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki thought.
"Master, your Candle Dragon's Eye is truly terrifying!" Kumoko said in shock.
Such a terrifying dōjutsu, and it belonged to her master! Admiration! Envy! Shock! Joy!
