Three Against One, the Advantage Is Mine!

The clear shout rang out.

The kunai in the girl's hand lengthened in the wind, transforming into a sixty-centimeter short blade.

It was a technique that condensed water in the hand to form a spinning Water Blade, somewhat similar to Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's Water Style: Water Blade Slash.

The next moment, she threw the Water Blade, striking the Black Spear that had been hurled with tremendous force with a clang.

It knocked the Black Spear slightly off course, and it flew past Uchiha Ci's face.

Immediately after,

Water Style: Water Surface Cut.

The girl bent down, pressed her palm to the ground, and stepped on two splashes of water, reducing the friction between herself and the ground as she rapidly slid beneath Uchiha Ci.

Then she caught the falling Uchiha Ci in a princess carry.

Uchiha Ci could not help but freeze for a moment. A sweet, fresh fragrance drifted into his nose, like hibiscus flowers growing by the sea.

Before Uchiha Ci could come back to his senses,

The Evil God Cult Leader's gaze turned cold. Looking at the uninvited guest before him, he flung out the two Pitch-Black Spears in his hands, stomped the ground, and formed a Snake Seal with both hands. He was clearly about to unleash some kind of ninjutsu.

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

The girl's emerald pupils shrank. She glanced down at the dazed Uchiha Ci in her arms, her willow-like brows knitting in displeasure. In the end, she simply flung him aside, nearly making him faceplant into the ground.

Then, she formed Hand Seals with both hands.

Ushi-Snake-Ram.

Water Style: Kirigakure Jutsu.

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

Uchiha Ci felt his hand being taken by a soft, delicate one. Then the girl's bell-like voice rang beside his ear.

"Go!"

"Go?" Uchiha Ci raised his head and looked at the hooded girl before him. A strand of reddish-brown hair had slipped free and fluttered beside her ear, like rosy clouds staining the horizon.

He quickly came back to his senses, frowned, shook off her hand, and climbed to his feet.

"I can't go!"

When he had blocked the incoming Pitch-Black Spear for the little girl Yuko earlier, his palm had already been cut open by it.

Now, his blood was still at that spot. The Evil God Cult only needed to pick up the spear he had thrown away, or dig his blood out of the ground, to use it to activate Curse Technique: Bloodcurse Death Possession!

Uchiha Ci could not gamble at a time like this on whether they knew that core curse technique of the Evil God Cult.

If he ran now and got killed, it might even be judged as suicide.

Then those five hundred million would be gone!

From the moment he had stepped forward, Uchiha Ci had never intended to leave.

The next moment, Uchiha Ci's expression turned savage as his Crimson Sharingan spun.

His hands formed seals in rapid succession before he decisively slapped them onto the ground!

Super · Deathmatch Barrier!

This ninjutsu he had just obtained from Moroi was perfectly suited to this situation!

A pale red barrier instantly expanded, locking all three Evil God Cult members and Uchiha Ci inside!

Then, a barrier stretching straight into the sky rose up, directly forcing everyone else out of the square.

"This is my fight alone!"

Uchiha Ci rose from the ground. Looking at the rolling white mist before him, an excited curve lifted at the corner of his mouth.

His Crimson Sharingan watched the three vague figures in the mist, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He gave a cold laugh.

"You like sneak attacks, huh?"

"Fine. Then let's begin round two!"

The girl who had helped Uchiha Ci at the critical moment looked stunned after being pushed out by the barrier. Watching Uchiha Ci stand up within it, she gritted her teeth in frustration.

Was he an idiot?!

She had clearly stepped in and created an opportunity for him to escape.

Yet instead of running while he could, he had turned around and trapped himself in there with three Evil God Cult members.

He was practically throwing his life away!

Hidan, who had also been forced out by the barrier, was equally stunned and could not help shouting:

"Ci, have you lost your mind?!"

"Attacking the Evil God Cult's lords will get everyone in the village killed!"

"And you're only a Genin. You can't beat them!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Ci's gaze sharpened slightly. Then, with his back to them, he raised a hand and gave a thumbs-up, laughing loudly.

"Don't worry. Before I die, they won't be getting out of this barrier!"

"Hidan, take this chance to lead everyone out of here!"

Without waiting for Hidan's reply, Uchiha Ci immediately began running circles around his opponents in the mist.

The red glow of his Sharingan drew a long crimson line through the fog.

Thanks to the girl who had suddenly intervened, he had avoided a serious injury. Her use of the Kirigakure Jutsu had also bought Uchiha Ci an opportunity to maneuver.

At this moment, the Evil God Cult Leader also realized that things had become troublesome.

He immediately gave his subordinates calm instructions.

"He has the Sharingan. In this environment, he has the advantage in vision."

"But we outnumber him! Three against one, the advantage is mine!"

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

"I'll get that brat's blood and use Curse Technique: Bloodcurse Death Possession to cripple his legs!"

"Then kill him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Evil God Cult Leader charged toward the Pitch-Black Spear embedded in the ground nearby.

The Evil God Cult follower called Madou formed Hand Seals with both hands, preparing to use Wind Style.

However, at that moment,

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three black shadows suddenly tore through the white mist and flew toward the three of them!

"What are these? Rocks?"

The three of them were startled and hurriedly stepped back, their previous actions interrupted.

But these were not merely rocks!

This was Uchiha Style: Silk Manipulation Shuriken Jutsu at a masterful level!

In Uchiha Ci's hands,

Everything could be thrown as a concealed weapon.

Uchiha Ci charged through the white mist with his body lowered, circling the barrier as he continuously picked up pebbles and dead branches from the ground. He even pulled out a Pitch-Black Spear embedded in the ground and hurled them all at the three men!

The first three stones only gave the three of them a slight shock.

But the huge wave of projectiles that followed,

Immediately made them panic!

In just ten seconds, Uchiha Ci picked up and threw more than thirty stones and over ten sharp branches with their ends snapped off.

A dense barrage blanketed them from all directions!

Friend, ever seen a barrage-style attack?

Hidden among the countless blades of grass, branches, and rocks was a Pitch-Black Spear.

It shot forth with hurricane force!

The Evil God Cult Leader's pupils contracted.

Madou, beside him, had nearly completed his Hand Seals and was about to use Wind Style to turn the situation around.

With a wet splat, the Pitch-Black Spear pierced straight through his chest!

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

But it was not over yet!

Uchiha Ci landed, hunched over and came to an abrupt stop. His Hand Seals were already complete!

Rat-Tiger-Xū-Ushi-Rabbit-Tiger!

Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!

Six fireballs lunged forward with fangs bared!

Immediately afterward,

He pulled three strands of Ninja Tool Thread from the shriveled Ninja Tool Pouch at his lower back, tied three stones to them, and hurled them toward the Evil God Cult members!

Then he formed Hand Seals with both hands.

Snake-Dragon-Rabbit-Tiger!

Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!

His index finger hooked upward as dragon fire erupted, racing wildly along the threads toward the two men!

"Damn it! What is wrong with this brat?!"

The Evil God Cult Leader's breathing halted, horror filling his eyes as he hurriedly dropped to the ground.

Shock surged through his heart.

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

"You think the three of you are ganging up on me?!"

Under the horrified gazes of the two Evil God Cult members, Uchiha Ci gave a derisive snort and said disdainfully:

"Wrong!"

"I'm the one surrounding all of you!"
