Three Against One, Advantage Me!

The clear shout fell.

The kunai in the maiden's hand grew with the wind, transforming into a sixty-centimeter short sword.

This was a jutsu that condensed water flow in the hands, forming a spinning water blade, somewhat similar to the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's Water Style: Water Blade Slash.

The next moment, she threw the water blade, which struck the black spear being forcefully hurled with a clang.

This caused the black spear to deviate slightly, flying past Uchiha Ci's face.

Immediately after, Water Style: Water Cutting.

The maiden bent down, her palm against the ground, her feet treading on two splashes of water, reducing friction between herself and the ground, and she slid rapidly beneath Uchiha Ci.

Then, with a princess carry, she caught the falling Uchiha Ci.

Uchiha Ci couldn't help but be a little stunned, his nose tip catching a faint sweet fragrance, like a hibiscus flower growing by the sea.

Before Uchiha Ci could recover his senses, The Evil God Cult Leader's gaze turned cold. Seeing the uninvited guest appear before him, he flicked his wrist, throwing two pitch-black spears he held. He stomped on the ground, forming a Snake Seal with his fists held together, clearly about to activate some ninjutsu.

"What are you spacing out for? Get ready to run!"

The maiden's emerald pupils contracted. She looked down at the stunned Uchiha Ci in her arms, her willow brows furrowing in displeasure. She simply threw him aside, nearly making Uchiha Ci fall flat on his face.

Afterward, she formed hand seals with both hands, Ushi-Snake-Wèi.

Water Style: Kirigakure Jutsu.

A mass of white mist rapidly spread, engulfing the entire village.

Uchiha Ci felt his hand being taken by a soft one, and then the maiden's voice, like tinkling bells, sounded in his ear.

"Let's go!"

"Go?" Uchiha Ci looked up at the maiden wearing a hood. A strand of reddish-brown hair escaped, fluttering by her ear like the dyed clouds at the horizon.

He quickly regained his senses, his brow furrowing. He shook off her hand and scrambled to his feet.

"I can't go!"

When he had first stepped forward to block the pitch-black spear for the little girl Yuko, his palm had already been cut by the pitch-black spear.

Now, his blood was at that very spot. If the Evil God Cult people picked up the spear he threw, or dug his blood from the ground, they could use it to activate the cursed jutsu: Blood-Binding Death Curse!

Uchiha Ci couldn't gamble at this moment whether the opponent possessed this core cursed jutsu of the Evil God Cult.

If he fled now and was killed, he might be judged as suicide.

And those five hundred million would be gone!

From the moment he stepped forward, Uchiha Ci had no intention of leaving.

The next moment, Uchiha Ci's gaze sharpened, his Crimson Sharingan spinning.

He rapidly formed hand seals, then decisively slammed his palm onto the ground!

Super · Deathmatch Barrier!

This ninjutsu, newly acquired from Moroi, was perfectly suited for this situation!

A circle of pale red barrier instantly expanded, locking in the three Evil God Cult members and Uchiha Ci!

Then, a barrier reaching straight into the sky opened, directly pushing everyone else on the plaza out.

"This is my fight alone!"

Uchiha Ci stood up from the ground, looking at the misty, churning white fog before him, a hint of excitement curving his lips.

He looked at the three indistinct enemies in the mist with his Crimson Sharingan, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He let out a cold laugh:

"You like sneak attacks, huh?"

"Good, then let's start the second round!"

The maiden, who had helped Uchiha Ci at the critical moment, was pushed out by the barrier. A look of shock crossed her face. She watched Uchiha Ci stand up within the barrier and gritted her teeth, somewhat disappointed.

Was he an idiot!

She had already gone out of her way to help him find an opportunity to escape.

Instead of running, he had turned around and trapped himself and the three Evil God Cult members together.

He was simply courting death!

Hidan, also pushed out by the barrier, was momentarily stunned and couldn't help but shout:

"Ci, are you mad?!"

"Attacking the adults of the Evil God Cult will get the entire village killed!"

"Besides, you're just a genin, you can't defeat them!"

Uchiha Ci's gaze sharpened slightly upon hearing this. He then put his hands behind his back, raised a thumb, and laughed heartily.

"Don't worry, before I die, they won't be able to leave this barrier!"

"Hidan, take this opportunity to lead everyone and escape!"

Without waiting for Hidan's reply, Uchiha Ci immediately began to run around his opponent in the mist.

The red light of the Sharingan drew a long red line through the fog.

Thanks to the maiden who suddenly made her move, he had avoided a critical injury and bought himself time to use Kirigakure Jutsu, creating an opportunity for Uchiha Ci to maneuver.

At this moment, the Evil God Cult Leader also felt that the situation was becoming tricky.

He calmly gave instructions to his subordinates:

"He has the Sharingan, giving him a vision advantage in this environment."

"However, we have the numbers! Three against one, the advantage is mine!"

"Madou, use your Wind Style to disperse the mist. Wusi, guard the surroundings and protect me."

"I will go get that kid's blood and use the Forbidden Jutsu: Blood-Drunk Death Curse to cripple his legs!"

"Then, I'll kill him!"

With that, the Evil God Cult Leader immediately charged towards the Pitch-Black Spear stuck in the ground not far away.

The Evil God Cult follower named Madou formed hand seals, preparing to unleash his Wind Style.

However, at this very moment, Swish! Swish! Swish!

Three black shadows suddenly pierced through the white mist, attacking the three of them!

"What is this? Stones?"

The three were startled and quickly took a step back, their actions interrupted.

But these were not just ordinary stones!

This was the Mastered Uchiha Style: Silk Manipulation Shuriken Jutsu!

In Uchiha Ci's hands, anything could be used as a projectile.

Uchiha Ci dashed forward in the white mist, circling the barrier, constantly picking up pebbles and Tree Branches from the ground. He then drew out a Pitch-Black Spear stuck in the ground and threw it back at the three!

The first three pebbles merely surprised the three men slightly, but the large wave of projectiles that followed immediately unsettled them!

In just ten seconds, Uchiha Ci had picked up and thrown over thirty stones and more than ten sharp Tree Branches with broken tips.

A dense barrage covered them!

Friend, have you ever seen a barrage attack?

Hidden beneath the cover of countless plants and stones, a Pitch-Black Spear was concealed.

It shot out like a hurricane!

The Evil God Cult Leader's pupils contracted.

Madou, who was beside him and had almost completed his hand seals to use Wind Style and change the situation, Squelch! was pierced through the chest by the Pitch-Black Spear!

Then, with a thud, he fell to the ground, unable to rise.

However, it wasn't over yet!

Uchiha Ci landed, crouched down, and stopped abruptly, already forming hand seals!

Child-Tiger-Dog-Ox-Rabbit-Tiger!

Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!

Six fireballs lunged forward like ferocious beasts!

Immediately following, he drew three Ninja Tool Threads from his shriveled Ninja Tool Pouch at his waist, tied them to three stones, and threw them at the Evil God Cult members!

Then, he formed hand seals, Snake-Dragon-Rabbit-Tiger!

Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!

His index finger hooked, and dragon fire spewed out, dancing wildly along the threads as it rushed towards the two of them!

"Damn it! What the hell is this kid?!"

The Evil God Cult Leader's breath hitched, his eyes filled with horror as he quickly lay down on the ground.

A shock ran through his heart.

Damn it, why is this kid so good at shooting?!

"You guys think it's three people ganging up on me?!"

Under the horrified gazes of the two Evil God Cult members, Uchiha Ci sneered disdainfully.

"Poking!"

"It's me, alone, who has surrounded you!"
