“Let’s try activating Sage Mode and the Mangekyo Sharingan together!”
After testing the basic functions of the Sharingan, Leo began merging his true essence with chakra, activating his Daoist Sage Mode.
His chakra, infused with the power of the Golden Core, turned golden. As the golden chakra flowed into his left Sharingan, the eye underwent a strange transformation.
Normally, when Leo activated the Mangekyo, his eyes looked identical to Itachi’s since the transplanted eye was originally his.
However, when his golden chakra entered the Mangekyo, possibly influenced by the true essence of his Golden Core, the entire eye turned golden. The pattern shifted from the original pinwheel to a design featuring a spiral pinwheel inside and a yin-yang fish outside.
When he activated the Mangekyo’s abilities, his eye glowed with a golden light, the spiral pinwheel inside spun wildly, and the yin-yang fish swirled around it.
But what excited Leo most wasn’t just the visual transformation—it was the noticeable increase in his perception and a shift in Tsukuyomi’s abilities.
“Looks like I’ll need someone to test this on.”
Taking out his teleportation book, he teleported back to the prince’s mansion in the Land of Fire as the pages fluttered around him.
Earlier, when he had first arrived in this world, he had left a teleportation book in the prince’s residence, ensuring he could travel between there and Konoha with ease.
Stepping out of his room, Leo sensed Zabuza’s chakra. Using Apparition, he instantly appeared in Zabuza’s room.
“Who’s there!?”
Zabuza, awakened by the powerful chakra presence, leaped up, grabbing his Executioner’s Blade and assuming a combat stance. His reaction was quick—no wonder he was an elite jonin of the Hidden Mist.
“Relax, no need to get worked up. I just need you to help me test a new jutsu,” Leo said with a smile, his left golden Mangekyo spinning rapidly as he cast the new Tsukuyomi on Zabuza.
The moment their eyes met, Zabuza’s body vanished from the real world.
Inside the Tsukuyomi world, Zabuza found himself bound to a cross, unable to move as if he had been frozen in place. Panic surged through him.
“What’s going on?”
“To think I can even pull your physical body into the Tsukuyomi world,” Leo remarked, appearing before Zabuza. With a wave of his hand, the restraints disappeared, allowing Zabuza to regain his freedom and leap off the cross.
“Don’t worry, it’s just an experiment. Cooperate with me, and there won’t be any danger.”
Zabuza’s mouth twitched at the response.
Back in the real world, just one second later, Zabuza reappeared, but his clothes were torn, he looked exhausted, and his body bore minor wounds.
“Heal swiftly, restore to form.”
With a quick Healing Charm, Leo treated Zabuza’s injuries, and a Mending Charm repaired his clothes. After a brief thank you, Leo activated his teleportation book and vanished once again.
“Zabuza, sorry for disturbing your sleep. You can continue now.”
“Sleep? After that, how could I sleep?!” Zabuza muttered angrily as Leo disappeared.
…
“I didn’t expect the Tsukuyomi in Sage Mode to have such a function.”
Returning to his residence in Konoha, Leo wore a satisfied expression.
After testing on Zabuza, he had a clearer understanding of the changes in his new Tsukuyomi.
First, the new Tsukuyomi could now pull both the enemy’s mind and body into the Tsukuyomi world, not just their consciousness.
Inside this world, Leo remained in control. If the enemy’s mental defenses were weak or they lacked the means to break free, they would remain immobilized.
Second, the time distortion still applied—three days in the Tsukuyomi world equaled only an instant in the real world.
Lastly, because he could use his treasures in the Tsukuyomi world, the damage was no longer limited to mental trauma. He could now cause physical harm to his opponents.
In a normal Tsukuyomi, the most Itachi could do was mentally break his opponent, but he couldn’t kill them directly. Against perfect jinchuriki, the technique could even be rendered ineffective with the help of a Tailed Beast.
When Itachi fought the Fourth Mizukage, his Tsukuyomi was broken by the Mizukage’s Tailed Beast transformation, and Itachi only survived thanks to Juzo Biwa’s sacrifice. He later won the battle by awakening Amaterasu in his right eye.
Leo’s new Tsukuyomi could draw both the body and mind into the Tsukuyomi world. Even if the enemy broke free from mental suppression, Leo could still use his treasures to continuously attack and kill them.
Being struck by his Sage Mode Tsukuyomi could mean vanishing from the real world one second and reappearing as a corpse the next—whoever he locked eyes with was as good as dead.
Unless someone could withstand both his mental and physical attacks for three straight days.
“Now, I’m even more determined to get the Rinnegan.”
Deactivating Sage Mode and the Mangekyo Sharingan, Leo’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
Since the true essence of his Golden Core in Sage Mode had enhanced the Mangekyo Sharingan, he wondered if it would have the same effect on the Rinnegan.
He strongly believed it would.
It seemed that different energies from different worlds interacted like a chemical reaction, always producing some form of transformation.
“Oh right, I still need to try Sage Mode with Susanoo.”
With that thought, Leo immediately activated Susanoo mode.
Itachi’s Mangekyo had already unlocked Susanoo’s third stage, so with enough chakra, Leo could summon the half-body armored version.
Sure enough, as chakra flowed into his eye, a half-body, orange-red armored Susanoo wielding the Totsuka Blade and Yata Mirror enveloped Leo.
“Now, let’s see what happens when I combine it with Sage Mode.”
Once again, he merged his true essence with his chakra, and the golden chakra replaced the original energy, flowing into the already formed Susanoo.
With the infusion of golden energy, the Susanoo began to transform.
Moments later, a massive, golden-armored Susanoo, resembling a celestial warrior, encased Leo.
This golden Susanoo had three heads and six arms, each wielding a different weapon—a long spear, a golden rope, and a large bow. The spear could be used in close combat, the bow for ranged attacks, and the rope could extend and retract to bind enemies.
Because of the immense power of the Sage chakra, this golden Susanoo was twice the size of the previous orange-red one.
Its offensive and defensive capabilities had also greatly surpassed those of the orange-red Susanoo.
