Bloody Sunshine

Chapter 20: Bloody Sunlight

"The Nara Clan's secret techniques are quite impressive, but it all depends on the opponent," Yishū said leisurely. "Kid, no matter how many tools you have, you can't bind a giant."

"Just like that monkey Hiruzen Sarutobi, no matter how high you jump, you won't be as tall as me."

"Swish!"

Yishū vanished from his spot, narrowly avoiding all attacks.

It was so precise it seemed calculated by a machine.

The slight difference even made the Root ninja believe their attacks had hit.

"Lightning Style: Great Spear of Lightning!"

"Pfft!"

The Root ninja trembled.

Behind him, the boy's eyes were wrapped in bandages, yet a gentle smile graced his face, giving him a warm appearance in the sunlight.

A spear made of lightning shot through the air, piercing one ninja's chest.

And!

It could be said that no one wanted to break the barrier more than them.

Earth Release Chakra surged out, gathering a large amount of earth and stone, transforming into a dragon with astonishing power. It roared and lunged at a ninja.

Yishū said with a smile, "Five ninja, using Fire Style, Water Style, Wind Style, Lightning Style, and Earth Style ninjutsu respectively, how about I kill you all?"

The Root ninja attacked frantically.

A ninja wearing a Root mask was pierced through by a lightning spear and nailed in front of them.

Yishū smiled and slowly formed hand seals.

"Uchiha Yishū!" a Root ninja shouted, "We are under Lord Danzō's orders..."

"Die!"

Two ninja's bodies trembled, their expressions filled with terror.

The Root ninja's frantic shouts went unanswered.

However, the constantly dripping blood made him appear demonic.

What a pity!

The surroundings were silent.

As for being discovered...

Even without the barrier, whoever he wanted dead would die.

"One for each of you, no fighting, fair distribution."

As for the attacks from others...

Kill Uchiha Yishū and bring back his head!

Heh heh!

When the barrier was initially set up, they worried about Uchiha Yishū discovering them, and also about outsiders discovering them, so they used a very special barrier.

"One down!"

What Danzō wanted was to gain a time advantage.

The few ninja who set up the barrier were about to cry.

"Damn it, can't you hear me?"

Help, there's a great demon behind me!

"Alright, let's begin!"

Why was he so strong?

He was even stronger than Body Flicker Shisui.

A Root ninja yelled, "We can't possibly defeat this monster, we need to leave immediately."

The next moment, Yishū appeared behind a ninja and gently blew into her ear, teasing, "I can sense that you are a beautiful female ninja, but unfortunately..."

"Pfft!"

The ninja in the shadows gritted their teeth silently.

What are you shouting about!

We are working on breaking the barrier.

Just then, crisp sounds suddenly echoed from the barrier.

A kunai appeared in Yishū's hand, which he skillfully flicked into the ninja's body, piercing her heart.

He wanted to capture Uchiha Yishū and find the whereabouts of the Mangekyo from his mind, obtaining the Mangekyo as quickly as possible.

Kazuki took a deep breath and unleashed his Wind Release chakra.

"Capture Uchiha Yishū?"

"Dream on!"

There was no need for Substitution Technique or Shadow Clone Jutsu.

The other ninja couldn't hold back any longer. With angry shouts, they unleashed their various ninjutsu.

The Root ninja instantly scattered, their eyes fixed on Kazuki.

"You..."

"Crack!"

Strong!

He was too strong!

The person he wanted dead, let alone the Third Hokage, even Hiruzen couldn't save them.

He shifted his gaze to the remaining two ninja.

Just then!

"Three!"

Kazuki's actions proved to everyone that Root ninja could also feel fear.

Danzō hadn't intended to hide anything when he sent them.

Many said that Root ninja were emotionless.

Kazuki looked up and smiled, "Is the barrier about to be released? Fine, then let everything end!"

Fear finally appeared in the Root ninja's eyes.

They were merely Danzō's tools.

Kazuki had truly mastered the Body Flicker Technique.

Like a bullet, in the blink of an eye, he blasted one ninja into a sieve.

"Barrier, release the barrier!"

"Two!"

A ninja who suddenly appeared beside him had his head cleanly removed.

How to successfully escape!

"Damn it! Uchiha Yishū, you..."

The Root ninja charged forward again, but couldn't even touch the hem of Kazuki's clothes.

If he could just obtain two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan, why would he care about anyone else?

Don't forget, one of those two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan was Kotoamatsukami!

It took a long time to set up, and it would take just as long to dismantle.

Outside the barrier, many people had already gathered.

With Mangekyo Sharingan blocking the way, Danzō's actions could only rank second!

Trust in the power of Mangekyo Sharingan; no one could resist it.

The Root ninja let out another roar.

The level difference was too great!

In front of Uchiha Yishū, they were as fragile as infants.

It was a barrier laced with genjutsu.

Kazuki held up two fingers, as if in victory.

The worst part was that they, the ones who set up the barrier, were also trapped inside.

A water pillar descended from above, slicing a ninja cleanly in half.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere!"

"Water Style: Water Severing Wave!"

Including the ninja from the Nara Clan, they unleashed their secret techniques once more.

The Lightning Style: Great Spear of Lightning struck the barrier, and the barrier, which was already about to be released, was torn apart.

Before this ninja could even cry out, he was swallowed whole by the Earth Dragon.

"Save me..."

He wasn't in any hurry.

The ninja's body stiffened and he slowly fell to the ground.

"I'm here!"

Like a ripe peach, a gentle touch and it falls from the tree.

If there is, then all I can say is that they don't know the power of Kotoamatsukami.

Just now, they had no idea how Yishū had decapitated that ninja.

"Since you won't choose, I'll make the choice for you!"

As soon as one ninja let out an angry roar, a shuriken pierced directly into his brain.

"Remember to hate Danzō while you hate me."

"What are you shouting about? Do you think you can scare me? Battles between ninjas don't rely on volume, kid."

"Bang!"

Using only the Body Flicker Jutsu!

Like teleportation, they randomly changed positions within the barrier.

"Crack!"

Just throw out the Mangekyo clue.

Pulling his body, he flew backward.

Yishū stretched, pointing a finger at the Root ninja, and said with interest, "One, two, three, four, five. There are five left. Tell me, how do you want to die? I'm merciful, so I'll let you choose your own death."

Even if the Mangekyo being stolen wasn't a staged event by the Uchiha, once it fell into his hands, Danzō would have ways to make the fake seem real.

Impossible!

The only thing they could think of now was to escape!

This was the scene that met their eyes...

"Earth Style: Earth and Stone Dragon!"

One jutsu after another was used, but none had any effect.

Yishū cheered like a child.

Yishū smiled, revealing his teeth.

"I misspoke just now, there were actually six!" Yishū chuckled sheepishly, looking a bit embarrassed, like a shy youth. "Now it's correct, exactly five!"

The moment they stopped was the moment Yishū attacked.

Just as Yishū said, the Uchiha, Konoha Military Police Force, Anbu, and Root - these four organizations - any slightly significant move now would immediately be noticed by others.

As he spoke, his hand gently wiped.

"Let's go all out!"

Everyone's attention was on them.

The corpses around were stained with blood by the sunlight.

For a moment, the world stood still.
