Chapter 75 - Chapter 75 Scarlet Seiba!

Kadoya followed the fleeing Sky Ninja from above, using a combination of Invisible Air Walk and Black Illusion. He purposefully kept his position high in the sky to avoid drawing any attention.

Soon, Kadoya found himself wandering into the Land of Swamps, the main base of the Village hidden in the Sky.

"Finally," Kadoya muttered with a faint grin. "Should've chased them to make them run faster."

His gaze shifted to the floating girl beside him, Ea's spirit form. She hovered in silence, her golden hair flickering like candlelight against the wind.

"Ea," he said, extending a hand. "Lend me your power. I want to see how much I can handle now."

She hesitated, just for a moment. Reluctance shimmered in her crimson eyes, but she gave a slow nod before dissolving into light, reforming into her sword form.

Kadoya caught her with ease, gripping the handle tightly. He lifted her high into the air.

"Sing praise as you like! Ea!"

A bolt of crimson lightning shot down from the clouds, striking the blade, revealing her true form.

With a golden handle and guard, it "blade" has taken the shape of a cylindrical, drill-shaped pillar made up of three independently segmented segments, engraved with crimson lettering.

Kadoya looks down at Ea in his hand, now in its true form, its Shikai state, or its Initial Release.

A Zanpakutō's Shikai was only its unsealed form, exposing its true form and letting the wielder use a portion of its true power.

Ea is the primordial sword that is the actualization of the works of a god recorded before humanity came into being, and it is that which divided the formless into distinct heaven and earth in ancient Mesopotamia.

Now holding Ea in her true form, the blade began to activate, the rotating segments distorted the air, causing the clouds to spiral, and the sky to darken.

Kadoya deactivated his Invisible Air Walk and Black Illusion, letting his body free-fall down; the vacuum created by Ea's spinning force dragged him downward like a meteor.

Kadoya swiftly took off his shirt and scarf, going shirtless into his fight as his body crashed into the ground, disbursing into a wave of flame.

A fire ignited, and Kadoya's body reformed.

Ea's rotating segments roared, generating a crimson cyclone that tore through trees, churned up water, and carved into the earth.

Without a word, Kadoya approached the main gate of the Hidden Sky Village and swung the blade.

He didn't even touch the gate.

The spinning vortex of crimson wind ripped it apart, metal, stone, and chakra barriers alike, disintegrated by the sheer force of Ea's distortion field.

Kadoya simply walked into the village holding the still-spinning Ea.

Screams erupted instantly. Buildings cracked and fell as the swirling blade sliced through the air, leveling everything in its path. Each casual swing erased houses, towers, and fleeing shinobi.

Any who tried to stop him were reduced to chunks of meat and scattered cloth, the ground beneath them painted with their blood.

Congratulations! Title Unlock: "Crimson Storm"

Reward: + 1 System Point + 2 Wind Attribute Level

Kadoya smirked seeing his new title as Crimson Storm, although Crimson Wind sounds smoother, but looking at the literal crimson storm in his hand, yeah, calling it a wind is a bit of an understatement.

Like how when an Iwa shinobi escapes, it didn't take long for him to gain the title [The Blade], leading to his increase in Kenjutsu.

His title of Crimson Storm was probably given by the few Sky shinobi who managed to escape. But it doesn't matter now.

"Let's finish clearing this place first." Kadoya began running around, destroying the village and flattening it.

Soon, the destruction of the Village Hidden in the Sky spread. No one knew who did it; all they knew was that the one who did it was called Crimson Storm, another unknown name. So the major villages just claimed it was their doing, using the excuse that a small village like theirs dared to get in the way of the major villages.

Plus, Crimson Storm soon turned into a legend cause no one was able to prove their existence.

...

After that day, Kadoya calmly made his way back to the Land of Rain battlefield. The skies wept above him, cold raindrops soaking his body, but he didn't care. His gaze drifted down to his left hand, still red and raw, marked with a faint spiraling pattern etched deep into the skin.

From unsealing Ea and using her power.

Even though he unleashed only a small amount of Ea's power, it still managed to damage his left hand, tearing off his skin and muscle.

His hand had only recently recovered to this extent.

Kadoya has disappeared for an entire month on his hunt for the Sky Ninja, something only Tsunade knew.

After hearing about the complete destruction of the Land of Sky, Tsunade had launched her desk clean out of the tent. Those in the camp only knew about Tsunade's sudden outburst, but they didn't know about the details.

That day, Tsunade had to scratch her head in confusion, thinking of how to cover this up, if the Village higher-ups found out that she let Kadoya go on a Sky Ninja hunt, and after over a month, the entire Village Hidden in the Sky was destroyed.

They might actually point toward her student and blame him. Although it sounds like a stupid joke, who knows what twisted lie that Evil Shimura bastard would spin to blame the Uchiha?

So Tsunade decides to pull a big brain move; she takes out the document that recorded the mission details she sent Kadoya on, and burns it.

She couldn't let her beloved wine make- ahem! beloved student to be harmed.

Back in the rain, Kadoya ran a hand through his soaked black hair, slicking his bangs back as the rain continued to fall.

A faint glint entered his gaze as he pulled up his system interface.

Evil Point: 22950

Kadoya swiftly exchanged his 22500 Evil Points into 9 System Points. Now armed with 10 System Points, he quickly performs his 10x roll.

Congratulations! [New!] Fire Style: Phoenix, [New!] Lightning Style: Red Lightning Creation, [New!] Chakra Manipulation, [New!] Earth Style: Earth Golem, [New!] Indra's Rope, [New!] LifeTree System, [New!] Fire Plate, [New!] Third Person POV, Block of Obsidian, Special Bento, [New!] Saber Servant Summoning

Kadoya's eyes widened slightly as he glanced at the reward he'd just drawn.

Without a word, his hands moved through a sequence of seals.

"Fire Style: Phoenix!"

Flames burst to life across his body. Similar to his Water Leviathan, a magnificent Fire Phoenix took shape before him, wings of fire spreading wide, heat distorting the air around it.

"Huh, interesting." He murmurs, originally, he has to reach at least elite jonin level in Water Release before he could start creating the Leviathan, now with this ninjutsu basically given, he didn't need to be elite jonin in Fire Release to create a similar jutsu.

With a simple wave, he dismissed the Phoenix.

Kadoya raises his palm, activating this lightning chakra before he intensifies the lightning as the color of the lightning turns a blood red color.

He could feel his lightning was stronger than normal lightning, visible by how it was literally burning his hand through his chakra right now.

He flicked his hand, dispersing the crackling energy. Rain splashed onto his scorched skin, cooling the burns, which healed quickly thanks to his regeneration.

Chakra Manipulation is as simple as its name suggests. It just lets him manipulate his chakra, this is just a better and more powerful version of chakra control.

"Earth Golem, hmm. First Earth Release ninjutsu." He weaved hand seals, then slammed both palms against the soaked ground.

"Earth Style: Earth Golem!"

The earth trembled briefly, rock and soil erupting beside him before assembling into a knee-high stone golem.

Kadoya: "…"

He crouched down to inspect the tiny creature.

"Well, I guess I have a starting point for Earth Release training," he sighed, dismissing the miniature golem with a swipe.

Next up is Indra's rope. Which is nothing special, just Indra's white rope, beside the increase in Yin Release for the wearer, it doesn't have much effect.

He doesn't need to have his Yin Attribute surpass his Yang Attribute; the continued use of his Sharingan and Genjutsu has already caused his Yin Attribute to improve past his Yang Attribute.

If this kept up, he might actually go blind due to the imbalance between his Yin Release and Yang Release.

Yin and Yang are interdependent. When Yin and Yang are separated, vitality ceases to exist.

Excessive use of the Mangekyou creates a large amount of Yin Chakra, which leads to blindness because of an imbalance between Yin and Yang.

There are two solutions to the blindness problem.

One of the methods is to merge two pairs of closely related Mangekyou Sharingan.

The other one was a theory Kadoya came up with.

Using his understanding of this world, he knew that White Zetsu's body was infused with Hashirama Senju's DNA. Giving them a large amount of Yang Chakra.

Which is why when Obito fused with White Zetsu's cell, he could spam his Mangekyou without worrying about going blind.

The Sharingan creates a large amount of Yin Chakra when used. Combined with the Yang Chakra created by Zetsu's cell helps balance out this imbalance and heal the eyes.

So Kadoya has concluded another way to awaken and maintain the Mangekyou.

It is to balance Yin and Yang.

The reason why merging the two pairs of closely related Mangekyou Sharingan worked. It was because extremes of Yin produce Yang, and extremes of Yang produce Yin. When pushed to the limit, balance is achieved.

Seeing that he currently has no use for this rope, he decides to place it inside his inventory.

LifeTree System.

Seeing his System's new vest, Kadoya decides to activate it.

Opening his eyes, he found himself inside an empty land covered with withered, gray grass. The sky was dark and gloomy, and in front of him stood a massive, white, leafless tree.

Kadoya looks at the lifeless tree in front of him before looking back at his system's new suit.

The LifeTree System? This looks more like a DeadTree.

"This doesn't look alive at all!" Kadoya said before walking around the tree, only seeing that the tree looked... pretty dead.

He closed his eyes and found himself back in the Land of Rain. The cold wind and rain hit his face, causing his long hair to wave lightly.

"Huh, so this tree absorbs life force, chakra, and biomass to grow." He muttered, reading the description of his new system.

The more life and energy it absorbs, the better the life inside that place will become. And if it absorbs enough or a special type of ability, the tree will grow a fruit, and he could either nurture it or eat it for more power.

"This seems... oddly familiar." Kadoya murmurs.

He glanced inward at the two Devil Fruits sealed within his body, then recalled the Chakra Fruit, the one Kaguya consumed to gain godlike power.

Kadoya decided that he would look into this system later; now his gaze fell onto the Fire Plate.

After so long, he finally obtains a Plate that is actually related to one of his main powers.

Sealing the Plate inside his body, he ignited his finger. The flame flared yellow, quickly pushing into blinding white.

"Nice," he nodded, lowering the heat before extinguishing it.

The Skill [Third Person POV] is pretty self-explanatory, but the feeling of looking at the back of his head is pretty odd. He couldn't tell whether his eyes were directly looking at the rock in the distance or not.

Still, the skill granted him a wide-angle awareness. Even with his eyes closed, he could see his surroundings.

His other two items were normal, he already had them before.

Finally, his gaze fell onto his final reward.

Saber Servant Summoning... "Damn, I wanted to be Saber, but it seems now I'm calling Saber."

Before using this item reward, he opened the system shop and bought a pale blonde hair dye for 1 Shop Point. Applying it quickly, he then dressed back into his white kimono, black scarf, and the Haori of the Vow.

"This isn't the Saber I wanted to cosplay… but Sakura Saber will do."

He nodded. "Umu! Now I'm ready."

He activated the summoning.

Crimson light flared around him as a three-part red blade-shaped tattoo appeared on the back of his right hand. The symbol glowed with power.

The air trembled as a dazzling red burst of energy erupted before him.

From within the light stepped a girl with long crimson hair, barefoot, dressed in a sleeveless black dress. A long sword gleamed in her hand.

"Servant Saber..." 

Her calm voice rang out in the cold rain while Kadoya widened his eyes, seeing the girl standing before him.

"I ask of you."

His black eyes locked onto her brown eyes.

"Are you my master?"

Kadoya didn't expect to see her being summoned as a servant.
