A Major Reversal! Ancestral Wild Laughter! Uchiha Setsuna's Awakening!

The village ruins, ravaged by ninja battles, were a chaotic mess.

Within the sky-high barrier, the ground was littered with shuriken, scattered threads, and chunks of earth, withered branches, and broken bricks snapped by ninja threads.

In the center of the field, as Uchiha Ci's faint words fell.

Moroi flinched as if experiencing a trauma response.

Despite his fierce offensive, his current state looked utterly disheveled.

His red windbreaker was torn to shreds by the ninja tool threads, revealing smooth-cut, profusely bleeding wounds underneath.

The stinging pain from his wounds made him gasp for air in secret.

Under Uchiha Ci's series of combined ninjutsu, if he hadn't been carrying a sealing scroll that could be used without hand seals.

And if the technique sealed within hadn't coincidentally been the Binding Seal Formation.

He might have truly met his end at the hands of Uchiha Ci, a mere rookie Genin.

Moroi narrowed his eyes, not daring to be careless. He formed hand seals and scanned Uchiha Ci thoroughly with his sensory ninjutsu for a moment.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He pressed his long sword forward, a disdainful smile on his face, and said coldly:

"Brat, at this point, you're still trying to trick me?"

"I've already seen it. Your chakra is almost depleted, your stamina is at its lowest, and you're caught in my Lightning Kill Bind."

"With your current strength, you can't even use the Substitution Technique!"

Moroi's lips curled into a confident smile, his gaze filled with self-satisfaction, as if victory was assured. He declared indifferently:

"You, have already lost!"

"There is no escape for you but to wait for death!"

However, Uchiha Ci's gaze remained calm, even eerily so.

Just as Moroi had said, his current condition was dire.

Let alone the Substitution Technique, he couldn't even use a simple E-rank Rope Escape Technique.

But, at this moment, a look of relief appeared on Uchiha Ci's face, and he murmured softly:

"I finally, finally, finally..."

"Brat, what are you talking about?" Moroi frowned, staring intently at Uchiha Ci.

After their previous exchange, even with victory within his grasp, he dared not underestimate Uchiha Ci in the slightest.

Uchiha Ci simply stared at Moroi, then suddenly grinned, speaking with the calm demeanor of someone telling a story:

"Do you know?!"

"How long have I been waiting for this moment!"

"And now-- "

Uchiha Ci's eyes blazed with madness, his lips curved upwards, and he exclaimed with extreme excitement: "I have finally reached this moment!"

"Utterly nonsensical, completely inexplicable!"

Moroi, seeing Uchiha Ci still babbling incoherently even in this situation, couldn't help but frown and bark coldly:

"Whatever last wishes you have, they end here!"

"Die!"

He decided to stop wasting words.

He planned to pierce Uchiha Ci's chest directly and end the young man's life!

Moroi gripped his long sword with both hands, took a step back, and held the hilt level at his waist.

The tip of the blade pointed directly at Uchiha Ci's heart!

With a surge of strength from his arm, the sword would thrust forward, and the boy before him would never speak another word!

His gaze sharpened, and he lunged forward with the sword!

He could already picture Uchiha Ci falling.

However, at this very moment.

Uchiha Ci, bound by the Lightning Kill Bind at his limbs, suddenly threw his head back and let out a loud, wild laugh:

"Hehehe, Hahahaha, Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha~!"

His laughter was layered, starting from a low, mocking chuckle, escalating into unrestrained laughter, and finally reaching a point where he was almost choking, tears welling up in his eyes.

Uchiha Ci lowered his head and glanced at Moroi, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Kumogakure, you, you don't actually think you've won, do you?"

As Uchiha Ci's voice fell.

Moroi's long sword sliced through the high-collared black robe on Uchiha Ci's chest.

Upon seeing what was beneath the black robe, his eyes widened in shock, his smug smile instantly freezing on his face.

The hand pushing the sword also abruptly stopped!

"Wh-what, what is this?!" Moroi looked up at Uchiha Ci in horror.

"What is this?" Uchiha Ci laughed heartily, his tone manic.

"Then let me tell you what this is!"

Uchiha Ci endured the intense numbness and the pain of electricity coursing through his body, his gaze hardening.

With one hand, he grabbed the high-collared black robe on his chest and tore it directly!

The black robe ripped open, revealing a muscular young body under the sunlight.

However, on this body, was worn a close-fitting garment made of densely packed Explosive Tags!

Dark Explosive Tag patterns crawled all over his body, from head to toe, every corner was plastered with Explosive Tags!

The dense 'Explosion' characters were visually striking!

The sheer number of them could likely flatten this entire village!

Moroi suddenly felt a tingling sensation from the tips of his toes to the scalp, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Uchiha Ci, this brat, was actually wearing Explosive Tags as clothes?!

You damn it!

Madman!

Madman!

He's a complete madman!

Aren't you afraid of bumping into something and blowing yourself to hell?

Uchiha Ci suddenly felt his body loosen. The seal etched with the character 'Lightning' on the ground had stopped due to Moroi's daze and the interruption of chakra supply.

Uchiha Ci moved his shoulders a few times, jumped down, and glanced indifferently at Moroi, saying calmly:

"The one who truly won, is me!"

As he spoke, Uchiha Ci grabbed the Explosive Tags on his chest.

With a gentle pull, the entire village would go up in flames along with Uchiha Ci!

A deathly silence suddenly fell over the arena.

#

Outside the barrier, three people were closely watching the battle within.

After Moroi consecutively used the Fire Sealing Print, Binding Seal Formation, and Lightning Kill Bind, the situation had suddenly reversed.

The roles of hunter and prey had flipped, with Uchiha Ci being restrained.

He was on the verge of having his life ended with a single sword strike!

"Ci!"

Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna couldn't help but be startled and immediately wanted to break free and use a powerful ninjutsu to shatter the barrier.

At this moment, Uchiha Ci, held a weight in Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna's heart that was incomparable to before!

He had mastered the Uchiha Style - Silk Manipulation Shuriken Technique beyond his years, and with a little guidance, he could learn the Dragon Fire Technique and Fire Style - Phoenix Sage Flower Claw Red.

Furthermore, he could generalize and combine the three techniques, using a combo ninjutsu that even amazed him.

In his eyes, Uchiha Ci was no longer the good-for-nothing who couldn't even activate his Sharingan!

He was, a genius among geniuses!

As a top-tier elder within the clan, Uchiha Setsuna naturally knew the path to awakening the Sharingan.

He could design intense stimuli to make clan members awaken their Sharingan.

However, such an action would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Forcing the awakening of the Sharingan without the corresponding talent would only make it a burden, a treasure that others would covet and desperately try to snatch.

But Uchiha Ci was different!

His talent was enough to support this power!

Even Uchiha Setsuna had, in that brief moment, already devised a plan so cliché and dramatic, involving life and death separations, that it would surely awaken Uchiha Ci's Mangekyo Sharingan and turn him into the ultimate lunatic.

And now, the tide had turned!

This genius, who had just begun to show his potential, was about to be buried in a foreign land.

For the Uchiha, and for his hawk faction, this would be a tremendous loss!

Uchiha Setsuna immediately gritted his teeth slightly, his gaze hardening.

He decided to use Izanagi, to trade one of the two Kumogakure shinobi blocking him for one of his own, and then forcefully break through the barrier to take Uchiha Ci away.

A talent like this couldn't die here!
