If We're Going to Die, Let's Die Together!!

"Old man Uzumaki."

Sensing the two figures within the dust cloud, Nagato turned his head to look at Uzumaki Yoake and said in a low voice, "My brother once told me that there are two abilities unique to the Uzumaki Clan."

"First, the sensory ninjutsu 'Kagura Mind's Eye,' and second, the sealing technique 'Adamantine Sealing Chains.'"

"As the head of the Uzumaki Clan, you should be able to use them as well, right?"

Some members of the Uzumaki Clan are born with the trait of "sealing," and when combined with their massive chakra reserves, they can even unleash the power to suppress the Tailed Beasts.

This ability cannot be acquired through training; whether or not it awakens is entirely determined by one's natural talent.

"You little brat, aren't you a member of my Uzumaki Clan?"

Hearing Nagato's words, Uzumaki Yoake was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook his head, frowning as he looked at Nagato, "No, I can sense it. Although there are other scents mixed in, you are indeed a member of my Uzumaki Clan."

Could it be that this seemingly precocious boy is actually the child of one of their clansmen who was lost abroad?

"Stop talking nonsense." Nagato interrupted the old man, who was still a bit confused, and said coldly, "Can you use the Adamantine Sealing Chains or not?"

"I can." Yoake came back to his senses, holding his daughter, and suddenly his old face turned red, "But, in my current state, I can only use four chains."

According to their inherited records, the highest record in the Uzumaki Clan is nine "chains."

Back then, he was also the most talented in the clan.

But a peaceful life has greatly reduced his strength. The original six chains have long degenerated into four, and the power of "sealing" is far from what it used to be.

"You, you old geezer..."

Hearing this, Nagato's face immediately darkened. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood, having been saddled with such an unreliable clan leader.

But sensing the two figures approaching from afar, he could only take a deep breath and quicken his pace, "Forget it, it's enough. Help me suppress the one who uses lightning release, I want to take a gamble."

"You have a way to defeat them with one strike?" Yoake's tone was somewhat astonished, "No, what we should be doing now is to entangle those two guys and wait for the support of the others..."

Speaking of which, as if he had thought of something, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Don't you understand yet?" Nagato said coldly, "Those two guys' mission is to kill you, the others have gone to wipe out your living forces!"

The person who planned all of this behind the scenes must know the Uzumaki Clan very well.

The Uzumaki Clan is indeed an extremely strong support-type ninja, but they all lack decisive means of attack. If they could discover the intruders in advance, it would be fine, but now that they have been attacked in the hinterland, they can only be forced to defend.

—The strongest fortresses are often destroyed from within.

"..."

Yoake's mind cleared up, but his face became unusually ugly, and he said in a low voice, "Are you sure you can do it? Don't throw your life away for nothing."

Where did this little brat get his courage from? And the brother he spoke of...

Could it be related to the soaring blood mist that blotted out the moon just now?

"Tch." Nagato looked at the two figures walking out of the dust and mist in the distance, and said coldly, "Old man, who's been wallowing in false peace, stop talking so high and mighty in front of me!"

With that, he slowly tightened his grip on the short knife in his hand, his entire body's center of gravity slightly lowered.

His heart rate and breathing rate dropped in an instant.

But Yoake, who was beside him, could clearly sense that this little brat was accumulating terrifying power within his body!

"Weren't there two people there just now?"

Muri Sebashi's doubtful voice came from afar, causing Yoake to blink in surprise.

He only managed to catch a glimpse of an afterimage as Nagato's figure disappeared.

Boom!!

The ground where Nagato had been standing cracked, and shattered stone chips splashed in the air, dust blooming like a flower.

"That little brat..."

Yoake's pupils suddenly contracted, and he unhesitatingly formed hand seals, while his heart was filled with horror, "So fast!"

Behind Muri Sebashi, a black shadow appeared invisibly.

Like an autumn leaf falling from the sky, he held a short knife but did not reveal the slightest bit of killing intent.

It wasn't until Nagato thrust out the short knife, the chilling coldness accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, that Kurosuki Raiga beside him suddenly realized, and shouted sharply, "Courting death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to raise the Lightning Blade.

But at this moment, several metallic ringing sounds rang out, as well as Yoake's cold shout.

"Adamantine Sealing Chains! Seal!"

Buzz! Buzz! Boom!!

Four golden chains suddenly drilled out of the ground beneath their feet, splashing large amounts of dirt and gravel, instantly cuffing Kurosuki Raiga's hands that were holding the Lightning Blade, and instantly straightened!

In an instant, the originally jumping and flickering azure lightning extinguished, the chakra that was about to move was instantly sealed and suppressed, and Kurosuki Raiga, who was full of anger, could only let out a low roar:

"Muri Sebashi!!"

At this time, Muri Sebashi's face changed drastically, and the corner of his eye was stung by the cold light, and the smile on his face turned into horror: "How is this possible?!"

How could he be so fast, without any sound?!

There was no time to think.

In this critical moment, facing the horrifying threat of death, there was no dodging, nor time to dodge. Muri Sebashi's face became contorted.

"Are you kidding me?!"

He was a monster who had clawed his way out of Kirigakure!

"If I'm going to die, we're going down together!!"

Watching the short sword slash towards his head, he violently swung the Exploding Blade: Splash in his hand, instantly stirring up a gust of wind that dispersed the dust.

Whoosh!!

The terrifying force suddenly swung towards his back. Even Uzumaki Yoake, dozens of meters away, could hear the chilling whistling sound.

He was completely embracing the idea of mutual destruction, leaving himself no way out.

If this blow landed, an ordinary ninja's physique would be shattered instantly!

"Hmph!" Seeing this, Nagato merely snorted coldly, a trace of iciness flashing across his face.

Without the slightest hesitation, he leaned back, dodging the large blade that slashed past his nose.

Puchi!!

Immediately, taking advantage of the momentum of his backward fall, Nagato deftly thrust the short sword into Muri Sebashi's back, tearing open two intersecting bloody gashes!

Fresh blood sprayed into the air, as beautiful as butterfly wings.

"Ah!!"

The pain of almost being cut in two caused Muri Sebashi to let out a miserable scream.

But at the same time, he finally saw Nagato's face clearly. A look of murderous intent appeared on his twisted, ferocious face, and he roared, "You, you damned brat!!"

The Exploding Blade: Splash, suspended in the air, suddenly unfolded, and the Exploding Tags contained within instantly ignited.

In the next moment, the monstrous tide of fire swept out from the blade, scattering a blazing light that illuminated the violence and murderous intent on the faces of both Nagato and Muri Sebashi!

"Exploding Blade Technique: Release Breaking Brutal Death!"
