A sharp cry fell.
The kunai in the girl's hand grew against the wind, turning into a sixty-centimeter short sword.
This was a jutsu that condensed water into a spinning water blade in one's hand, similar to the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama's, Water Release: Water Blade Strike.
The next moment, she threw the water blade, which struck the black spear thrown with great force, making a dull sound.
It slightly deflected the black spear's trajectory, sending it flying past Uchiha Ci's face.
Immediately after, Water Release: Water Sever.
The girl bent down, her palm flat on the ground, her feet treading on two puddles of water, reducing friction between herself and the ground as she slid rapidly beneath Uchiha Ci.
Then, she caught the falling Uchiha Ci in a princess carry.
Uchiha Ci couldn't help but be a little stunned, his nose catching a faint, sweet scent, like hibiscus flowers growing by the sea.
Before Uchiha Ci could recover, The leader of the Evil God Cult's gaze turned cold. Seeing the uninvited guest appear before him, he flicked two pitch-black spears from his hand, stomped on the ground, and formed a巳 (巳) hand seal with his fists clasped together, clearly about to unleash some ninjutsu.
"What are you spacing out for? Get ready to run!"
The girl's emerald pupils contracted. She glanced down at the stunned Uchiha Ci in her arms, her delicate eyebrows furrowing in displeasure. She simply flung him aside, nearly making Uchiha Ci fall flat on his face.
Following that, she formed hand seals, 丑 (丑) - 巳 (巳) - 未 (未).
Water Release: Hidden Mist Jutsu.
A thick white mist rapidly spread, enveloping the entire village.
Uchiha Ci felt his hand being taken by a soft one, and then the girl's voice, like tinkling bells, rang in his ear.
"Let's go!"
"Go?" Uchiha Ci looked up, gazing at the hooded girl before him. A strand of reddish-brown hair escaped, dancing by her ear like the dyed clouds at the horizon.
He quickly regained his senses, his brow knitting, and he shook off her hand, scrambling to his feet.
"I can't go!"
When he had initially shielded the little girl Yuko from the flying pitch-black spear, his palm had already been cut by it.
Now, his blood was at that very spot. The Evil God Cult members only needed to pick up the spear he had thrown or dig his blood from the ground to activate the forbidden jutsu: Blood Control!
Uchiha Ci couldn't gamble on whether they possessed this core forbidden jutsu of the Evil God Cult at this moment.
If he fled now, and were killed, it might be ruled as suicide.
And that five hundred million would be gone!
From the moment he stepped forward, Uchiha Ci had never intended to leave.
The next moment, Uchiha Ci's gaze sharpened, his crimson Sharingan spinning.
He rapidly formed hand seals and then decisively slammed his palm onto the ground!
Super: Deadly Combat Barrier!
This ninjutsu, newly acquired from Moroi, was perfectly suited for this situation!
A circle of faint red barrier instantly expanded, locking in the three members of the Evil God Cult and Uchiha Ci!
Then, a barrier stretching straight to the sky opened, directly pushing everyone else in the plaza out.
"This is my fight alone!"
Uchiha Ci stood up from the ground, looking at the misty, rolling white fog before him, a curve of excitement appearing at the corner of his lips.
He looked at the three indistinct enemies in the mist with his crimson Sharingan, his eyes narrowing slightly.
He let out a cold laugh:
"You like ambushing, huh?"
"Good, then let's start the second round!"
The girl, who had helped Uchiha Ci at the critical moment, was pushed out by the barrier, her face showing a look of astonishment. She gritted her teeth, looking at Uchiha Ci standing up inside the barrier, filled with frustration.
Was he an idiot!
She had already made a move to help him find an opportunity to escape.
Instead of running now, he had turned around and locked himself and the three Evil God Cult members together.
He was simply throwing his life away!
Hidan, also pushed out by the barrier, was momentarily stunned and couldn't help but shout:
"Ci, are you crazy?!"
"Attacking the adults of the Evil God Cult will get everyone in the village killed!"
"Besides, you're just a Genin, you can't defeat them!"
Uchiha Ci's gaze sharpened slightly upon hearing this. He then turned his back, raised a thumb, and chuckled heartily:
"Don't worry, before I die, they won't be able to get out of this barrier!"
"Hidan, use this chance to lead everyone to escape!"
Without waiting for Hidan's reply, Uchiha Ci immediately began running around his opponent within the mist.
The red glow of his Sharingan streaked across the fog like a long, crimson line.
Thanks to the sudden intervention of the young girl, he had narrowly avoided a critical injury. She had also used the Hidden Mist Technique, granting Uchiha Ci an opportunity to maneuver.
At this moment, the leader of the Evil God Cult felt that the situation had become rather tricky.
He calmly gave instructions to his subordinates:
"He has the Sharingan, giving him a visual advantage in this environment."
"However, we have the numbers! Three against one, victory is ours!"
"Madou, use your Wind Style to disperse the thick fog. Takeshi, guard the surroundings and protect me."
"I'll go collect that brat's blood and use the Forbidden Jutsu: Bloodthirsty Ritual to cripple his legs!"
"Then, I'll kill him!"
With that, the Evil God Cult leader immediately charged towards the Pitch-Black Spear stuck in the ground not far away.
The Evil God Cult follower named Madou formed hand seals, preparing to unleash his Wind Style.
However, at that very moment, Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three dark shadows suddenly pierced through the white mist, hurtling towards the trio!
"What is this? Stones?"
The three were startled and quickly stepped back, their actions interrupted.
But these weren't just ordinary stones!
This was the Uchiha Style: Threaded Shuriken Jutsu, at the mastery level!
In Uchiha Ci's hands, Anything could be turned into a projectile.
Uchiha Ci dashed low in the white mist, circling the barrier, continuously picking up pebbles and dead branches from the ground. He then pulled out a Pitch-Black Spear planted in the earth and hurled it backhanded at the three!
The first three stones merely caused the trio a moment of surprise, But the massive wave of projectiles that followed immediately unsettled them!
In a mere ten seconds, Uchiha Ci had picked up and thrown over thirty stones and more than ten sharp, broken tree branches.
A dense barrage of projectiles covered them from all sides!
Friend, have you ever seen a bullet-hell playstyle?
Hidden amongst the countless plants and stones, a Pitch-Black Spear concealed itself.
It shot out with the force of a hurricane!
The Evil God Cult leader's pupils constricted.
Madou, who was beside him and had almost completed his hand seals to unleash Wind Style and turn the tide, With a thwack, was impaled through the chest by the Pitch-Black Spear on the spot!
He then fell to the ground with a thud, lifeless.
But it wasn't over yet!
Uchiha Ci landed, crouched low, and skidded to a halt, already forming hand seals!
Child-Tiger-Dog-Ox-Monkey-Tiger!
Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!
Six fireballs lunged forward like ferocious beasts!
Immediately after, He drew three ninja tool threads from his shriveled ninja tool pouch at his lower back, tied them to three stones, and hurled them at the Evil God Cult members!
Then, he formed hand seals, Snake-Dragon-Monkey-Tiger!
Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique!
His index finger hooked, breathing dragon fire that danced along the threads, rapidly closing in on the two!
"Damn it! What the hell is this brat?!"
The Evil God Cult leader's breath hitched, his eyes wide with horror as he quickly dove to the ground.
A tremor of shock ran through him, unbidden.
Damn it, why can this kid shoot so much?!
"You thought it was three of you ganging up on me?!"
Under the horrified gazes of the two Evil God Cult members, Uchiha Ci let out a sneer of disdain.
"Psst!"
"It's me, surrounding you all!"
Please follow, recommend, and favorite.
Bang bang bang!
