Chapter 77
Slaying all enemies, cutting down all who are cut, Crimson! Skyline!
Chapter 77 Slaying all enemies, cutting down all who are cut, Crimson! Skyline!
Seeing this, Suigetsu Hozuki immediately abandoned his fight with Uchiha Yakumi and risked taking a heavy blow to escape the battle.
Like Juzo Biwa, he fled towards the location of Ao's attack, where the chances of escaping would be much greater.
Given his extensive experience in escaping, Juzo Biwa made the right choice; if he didn't run now, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Uchiha Yakumi watched as Suigetsu Hobutsuki fled without giving chase. This guy was difficult to deal with, and even if he chased after him, it would be difficult to achieve any results.
"Hui...are you alright?"
Looking at Uchiha Hikaru, who was radiating a crimson glow, Yao Wei asked somewhat cautiously.
Uchiha Hikaru's current state is definitely not right. You have to pay a price for every bit of power you gain. With Hikaru's current power, who knows what kind of aftereffects he might suffer.
"If there are any problems, we'll find a medical ninja immediately! Besides, our clan's secret medicine can be very effective!"
Uchiha Teru shook his head. He was in his final moments and didn't want to waste them here. So he looked in the direction where Suigetsu Hozuki and Biwa Juzo had fled and said:
"I'm going to hunt down the rest. You clean up the battlefield and seal the ninja sword away; it's my spoils!"
Uchiha Teru's calm tone left no room for argument.
But Uchiha Yakumi didn't dare refuse, so he nodded and said, "The ninja sword is Hui's trophy, that's undeniable."
"Flame Breathing - First Form: Shiranui!"
Uchiha Kagura now possesses virtually unlimited chakra, and may not run out before he dies; moreover, Futsu-no-Mitama is also replenishing it.
If a person dies and their chakra is still unused, wouldn't that be a waste?
Therefore, Uchiha Akira did not conserve his chakra and used Shiranui to travel directly, disappearing instantly.
A crimson flame trail was left behind, proving that Uchiha Akira had moved.
Ao led the Mist Ninja army, following the route of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, and broke through the Uchiha defenses.
"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen may be unruly, but they are capable. Well done! This time, I will definitely avenge myself!"
Ao smiled as he thought about how he led the Mist Ninja to break through the Uchiha defenses, directly threatening Konoha and forcing Konoha to negotiate peace.
Then he saw Suigetsu Hozuki and Hibiki Juzo rushing towards him.
"I didn't expect the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to come and meet me! I misunderstood them. But is it alright to be missing two fighters? I need to speed up the reinforcements!"
Qing's smile grew even brighter. At this point, he hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation. The two people were definitely there to provide backup, since the remaining five couldn't be wiped out.
But the sky was dyed crimson, and it was spreading toward them at an extremely fast speed.
"alert!"
The bright smile on Qing's face froze, and then he shouted.
It was then discovered that while Suigetsu Hobutsu had few injuries, he looked quite disheveled, and that Hibiki Juzo had severe burns on the left side of his body.
They didn't seem like they were there to provide backup; they seemed more like they were... running for their lives!
Qing was horrified and used his Byakugan to look behind the two of them.
A massive crimson blade of light, carrying scorching flames and an invincible aura, hurtled toward them at breakneck speed.
Like the skyline at sunrise or sunset, it is part of nature.
"careful…"
Before Qing could utter the word "heart," the crimson blade had already arrived.
The Mist Ninja reacted extremely quickly, squeezing out their potential and rapidly forming hand seals under immense crisis.
"Water Release: Water Wall Formation!"
The water wall formations used by the Mist Ninja were linked together to form a massive water wall formation in an attempt to resist the incoming crimson blade light.
It was sliced open in an instant, releasing a large amount of white mist, and the crimson blade light attacked the terrified Mist Ninja.
"boom!"
A roar resounded as the sun rose from the center of the Mist Ninja army.
Enveloped in white mist, it appeared magnificent, with a hazy quality that softened the endless danger and cruelty within.
The white mist dissipated.
Ao stared blankly at everything around him. There were charred corpses everywhere, and some Mist Ninja screaming as they tried to put out the flames on their bodies.
Only a handful of elite troops remained.
"Slay all enemies! Cut down all obstacles! Crimson! Skyline!"
A dignified yet indifferent voice rang out, and Uchiha Hikaru, clad in crimson flames, appeared before Ao.
Seeing this, Ao instantly understood everything. He stared intently at Suigetsu Hobutsuki and Hibiki Juzo, his Byakugan turning red.
It was you who lured the Japanese here!
Suigetsu Hobutsuki and Hibiki Juzo didn't take Ao's attitude to heart at all.
What's important? Of course, my own life is more important!
With the power of that attack, the two of them would have been doomed if they hadn't escaped to the main force of the Mist Ninja.
"I only intended to hunt down the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, but I unexpectedly gained something. Oh well, I'll take care of you all while I'm at it."
Uchiha Teru's indifferent voice interrupted their conflict.
Ao, Suigetsu Hozuki, and Hibiki Juzo all looked at Uchiha Hikaru, who resembled a god. The crimson radiance reminded them of the sword light from just now, and fear flashed in their eyes.
"Uchiha Kaname isn't doing well! He definitely can't hold on much longer! If we can just wear him down until he runs out of power, that's our victory!"
Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon cheered everyone on, which drew a furious glare from Ao.
If these two could lure Uchiha Kaname to another location, he certainly wouldn't have to face such a terrifying Uchiha Kaname!
Even if Uchiha Kagura arrives, it will take him a lot of time, and his condition will definitely disappear by then.
Instead of the current situation where the Kirigakure army is facing a godlike Uchiha Kaname!
"gather!"
The remaining Mist Ninja gathered around Ao, not daring to attack for a moment.
The stalemate continued.
"Since you're not going to attack, then I'll come."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Hikaru rode the crimson flames and charged towards the last remaining force of the Mist Ninja.
The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon's eyes flashed with ferocity as it picked up the Samehada and slicing it ruthlessly.
"bump!"
Suigetsu Hozuki was knocked away, but he slightly hindered Uchiha Teru's progress.
"Chance!"
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Ao quickly formed hand seals, channeling all his remaining chakra into the dragon, which then crashed head-on into Uchiha Hikaru.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The water dragon and Uchiha Hikaru reached a stalemate, ultimately stopping Uchiha Hikaru's advance.
"His strength has decreased significantly; we have a chance to kill him!"
Qing gasped for breath, staring at Uchiha Hui. If he could just hold on for a little longer, he would have a huge advantage.
But in an instant, a knife pierced Qing's heart from behind!
"This is?! A Sharingan genjutsu!"
Qing spoke with difficulty.
As Uchiha Hikaru withdrew his sword, Ao collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Knowing there was no escape, Kizuna led the remaining Mist Ninja in a final desperate gamble, determined to get a piece of meat even if it meant death!
At last.
Uchiha Teru stood on the battlefield, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with not a single living person around him.
After the frenzied killing, the feedback from Futsu-no-Mitama allowed Uchiha Teru's three-tomoe Sharingan to reach its limit, and it only needed one opportunity to break through.
But this opportunity is hard to come by.
"Wait... where's Suigetsu Hobutaki?"
Uchiha Hikaru's expression turned strange, and he seemed to have disappeared after being knocked away.
"It... escaped?!"
