Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Volley of Hidden Weapons!
Their trajectories were as unpredictable as falling flower petals,
and their killing intent hung by a thread, like dawn suddenly swallowed by darkness!
The dense, precise throwing technique made everyone's scalp tingle.
No one present had ever heard of Shurikenjutsu at this level.
This was like wiping your ass with a broadsword—giving them one hell of an eye-opener!
Under such a dense barrage, the two Evil God Cult members hurriedly ducked behind a crumbling wall.
Even though they had dodged in time, they still could not avoid taking a few hits.
"Boss, this brat's firepower is way too fierce!"
At that moment, the Evil God Cult Leader also realized
that the situation seemed to be slipping beyond his control. Before joining the Evil God Cult, the three of them had been rogue ninja from the Land of Hot Water, all at Chunin level.
They should not have been weak, especially not in a three-on-one situation.
Yet Uchiha Ci,
with the Sharingan's enhancement, combined Shurikenjutsu with Fire Release, unleashing wave after wave of attacks like a humanoid machine gun. He actually suppressed the two of them so badly that they could only flee in panic.
Still, having survived in the war-torn Land of Hot Water, the two Evil God Cult members were no fools.
Even as they fled, they continued following the plan they had devised from the start.
At this moment,
the Evil God Cult Leader had already picked up the Pitch-Black Spear from the ground. He immediately bellowed:
"Wusi, hold him back! I'll begin the ritual!"
The Evil God Cultist called Wusi nodded. His face hardened as he gritted his teeth and sprang out from cover, his hands holding the seals he had been forming for ages.
Tiger—Ushi—Shēn—Rabbit—Rat—Boar—Yǒu—Ushi—Horse—Xū—Tiger—Xū—Tiger—Snake—Ushi—Shēn—Rabbit!
He slammed his palm onto the ground.
"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
This technique had two versions: an eighteen-seal budget version, and an A-rank high-end version requiring only three seals.
Clearly, the ninja of the Land of Hot Water only had the budget version.
As his palm fell,
the ground suddenly split apart, and a massive wave surged forth, its crest more than three meters high!
It crashed down viciously toward Uchiha Ci!
Along the way, it extinguished all the thrown Earth and Stone and Fire Release attacks.
Faced with such a large-scale ninjutsu, Uchiha Ci could only flip onto the roof of a nearby building to evade it.
Wusi immediately seized the opportunity.
Using the Water Release as cover, he drew a Pitch-Black Spear from the pouch sewn into his Black Robe and charged at Uchiha Ci.
Meanwhile,
the Evil God Cult Leader had already drawn the Curse Technique ritual formation of a Circle-in-Triangle on the ground.
His gaze gradually turned crazed.
"Brat, you forced my hand!"
He stood where he was and spread his arms. Black Patterns crawled across his face, staining it completely black.
Then, holding the spear stained with Uchiha Ci's blood, he bared his teeth and stared viciously at his own thigh, squeezing his eyes shut!
His hands trembled as they gripped the shaft.
Squelch!
The spear pierced through his thigh!
"AAAAAAARGH!!!"
His twisted, crazed, yet satisfied cry echoed throughout the battlefield!
"Feel pain! Wail! Marvel!"
"This is the Evil God's rite!"
"This is—"
"LOOOOOOVE!"
Curse Technique: Bloodcurse Death Possession activated instantly!
At that moment,
an immense terror gripped Uchiha Ci's heart. Every cell in his body screamed at him, delivering a single message—
Danger danger danger danger danger!
It was as though a massive red character for death had been carved above his head!
The next instant,
Uchiha Ci's heart pounded wildly. The blood throughout his body was like water rushing through a sudden tear in a filled bag, surging toward one spot!
An unknown force suddenly stabbed viciously into his right leg, leaving a bloody hole nearly four fingers wide!
It could not be dodged, blocked, or resisted!
Flesh tore, and blood sprayed!
The intense pain made his eyes widen involuntarily, and even his face began to tremble.
Uchiha Ci's right leg instantly went limp. Blood poured from the wound, and the searing pain nearly made him lose his footing.
"Hahaha! Hahahahahaha!"
Seeing this, the Evil God Cult Leader's madness burst forth from his eyes. His arrogant laughter rang beside Uchiha Ci's ears.
"Kid!"
"Face reality!"
"Even ninja from a small country like ours can turn our hatred into power far beyond yours through Lord Evil God's ritual!"
"Tremble! Lament!"
"Then stand there and watch how your foolish self gets pierced through the heart, disemboweled, and torn to pieces!"
"Finally, you will understand—"
"In this world,"
"pain is power!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Evil God Cult Leader immediately turned and roared at his subordinate charging forward.
"Wusi, kill him! Kill him for me!"
The words had barely fallen when killing intent erupted!
A burly figure suddenly leaped before Uchiha Ci, swinging the Pitch-Black Spear in a wide arc toward his neck.
The spear slashed down viciously!
Yet, in the face of such a deadly crisis,
after hearing the Evil God Cult Leader's killing words,
"Heh heh heh, hahaha~"
a low laugh suddenly rang out across the battlefield.
Uchiha Ci was actually laughing!
He raised his head, covered his face, and stood atop the swaying roof amid shattered bricks and tiles, looking down at the two Evil God Cult members as his laughter grew louder.
His lips curled into an unrestrained grin as his eyes widened.
Though he stood in a life-or-death crisis, his eyes were filled with excitement!
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Not bad, not bad. Well said!"
"Ninja are creatures who endure pain. The deeper the pain, the deeper it cuts, and the stronger the power becomes!"
"But—"
Uchiha Ci abruptly stopped laughing and looked down coldly at the two of them. His voice was as frigid as ten-thousand-year ice.
"What makes you think"
"your pain is greater than mine?!"
As his words fell,
Uchiha Ci covered his eyelid, turned toward the charging Wusi, and suddenly opened his eyes wide!
"Look into my eyes, you little bastard!"
A lone tomoe spun wildly within the Crimson Sharingan, which was filled with madness!
Anyone who saw those eyes would have to praise their soul-stealing, breathtaking beauty!
"It's Genjutsu! Be careful, Wusi! He used Sharingan Genjutsu!"
The Evil God Cult Leader was startled and immediately shouted a warning.
Hearing this, Wusi instantly became alert. Looking at Uchiha Ci, who stood motionless like a statue, he also sensed that something was wrong.
Was this the real body, or an illusionary afterimage left behind by Genjutsu?
How the hell was he supposed to tell?!
With that thought, Wusi's attack suddenly slowed. He landed steadily on the side of the roof, holding the Pitch-Black Spear as he watched warily.
He stared at Uchiha Ci, who still maintained the same posture as before, completely motionless, even facing the wrong direction.
Just as I thought.
This is only an illusionary afterimage!
However, in the next moment,
the illusionary afterimage of Uchiha Ci in Wusi's eyes suddenly sprang into action!
He pulled out the last ninja tool on his body from his Ninja Tool Pouch—
wire!
Wrapped around his fingers and pulled taut, it crackled with sparks like the edge of a sharp blade!
Uchiha Ci's face twisted fiercely as he suddenly lunged forward.
Using the swastika-shaped taijutsu move he had seen only once, he unleashed Man Lock Man!
His elbow clamped tightly around Wusi's neck. One foot kicked Wusi's sole, making his entire body lose balance and topple sideways. Then he raised his leg to hook Wusi's elbow, while his other foot locked around Wusi's waist.
With his freed hand, he pulled the wire taut into a razor-sharp edge.
It slashed down!
Slice!
Wusi died!
Next,
Uchiha Ci rolled down from the roof, panting heavily. Dragging his nearly immobile right leg, he walked step by step toward the stunned Evil God Cult Leader.
He shook his head and gave a rueful sneer.
"This is Sharingan Genjutsu!"
