Half an hour later, on a large rock.
Uchiha Ci memorized everything in the scroll, Then, without hesitation, he formed hand seals and unleashed a Great Fireball, incinerating the scroll on the spot.
Afterward, he assumed a cross-legged sitting position.
Closing his eyes, He gradually focused all his attention on his breathing. With each inhale and exhale, the whistling of the early spring wind faded away.
Gradually, The pounding of his heart became like thunder.
A full moon hung behind him, and the wilderness stretched to the horizon.
Under the cold moonlight, Uchiha Ci's eyes snapped open.
In his crimson eyes, black Tomoe slowly spun. Everything before him seemed to be playing in slow motion.
He stared intently at his chest.
Under the Sharingan's vision, A wisp of Fire Style Chakra, having undergone a nature transformation, ignited from his heart!
The flames instantly flowed through his entire body, Making Uchiha Ci feel as if he had returned to the moment he confronted the three from Kumogakure.
The moment the Explosive Tags detonated in a blaze, and the flames seared his body and soul.
Unlike then, this time, the surging power was entirely contained within his body, like an extremely compressed depleted uranium bomb, ready to erupt into a mushroom cloud at any moment.
Sizzle, sizzle--
His body, scorched by the intense heat, suddenly made a sizzling sound, as if oil was being fried.
A sharp pain, as if his heart had been violently gripped, suddenly struck!
Uchiha Ci's pupils constricted, and he immediately cut off the Chakra supply.
A line of text appeared before his eyes.
[You have mastered Fire Style: Chakra Mode (Beginner, A, Extreme Danger)]
Ssssh--
Thick steam rose from Uchiha Ci's entire body.
He couldn't help but gasp for air, feeling a wave of fear.
If he hadn't mastered Great Elder Uchiha Setsuna's mastery-level Thread-Manipulating Shuriken Technique, giving him such high control over his body, and instantly realized something was wrong, stopping in time.
He would have died by now.
And dying like this would only be considered suicide.
"As expected, it's incredibly dangerous, and this process is irreversible. Once fully ignited, the Chakra will burn the Chakra, triggering a chain reaction similar to a nuclear explosion. If that happens, there's no turning back."
Uchiha Ci, still shaken, felt the heart-wrenching pain recede. He exhaled a long, condensed breath of white air and pushed himself to his feet.
With a thought, he opened his status panel.
[Employee: Uchiha Ci] [Title: Heaven-Sent Strong Man.] [Talent: Steel of the Heart (SSS), Sharingan (Single Tomoe, B+), Combat Intuition (Beginner, S).] [Skills: Uchiha Style - Thread-Manipulating Shuriken Technique (Mastery, S), Super · Death Match Barrier (Proficient, S), Fire Style - Great Fireball Technique (Beginner, C), Fire Style - Phoenix Sage Flower Technique (Skilled, C), Fire Style · Phoenix Sage Flower Claw Red (Proficient, B), Fire Style · Dragon Fire Technique (Beginner, C), Wind Style · Severing Void Wave (Proficient, B), Three Body Techniques, Rope Escape Technique, Basic Body Techniques (Skilled).] [Special Skill: Fire Style · Chakra Mode (Beginner, A, Extreme Danger)] [Steel of the Heart Stacks: Acquired (Expandable)] [Insurance Status: Paid.]
Seeing the line "Fire Style · Chakra Mode" fixed in his panel, Uchiha Ci's suspended heart finally settled.
Besides this core forbidden jutsu, the scroll also contained a set of sword techniques called Sun Halo Dance, which seemed to require weapons crafted from Chakra metal.
On its own, this sword technique was only a B-rank skill. However, when combined with the Sharingan, genjutsu, Chakra metal ninja swords, and Fire Style: Chakra Mode, it could form the ultimate S-rank forbidden jutsu swordplay secret.
In the original story, Uchiha Shisui mastered this sword technique. However, perhaps because Uchiha Setsuna had already died by then, Shisui ultimately did not master the core Fire Style: Chakra Mode.
But for Shisui, who could pilot a giant robot, this didn't make much of a difference.
Uchiha Ci tilted his head slightly, gazing up at the full moon in the sky.
He took a deep breath, his gaze becoming resolute.
Since he had made all the necessary preparations, All that remained was to head to the Evil God Cult's headquarters and cause a massive disturbance!
But--
Just then, "You plan on going alone like this?"
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind, filled with questioning and anger—
"You want to say all the nice things and then rush off to die alone?"
"Uchiha Ci, who exactly is running away?"
"Do you want your ideals to stop in this remote corner of the Land of Hot Water?!"
"Huh?! Answer me!"
Uchiha Ci's head snapped around.
He immediately saw a childish fist smash fiercely towards his face!
His Combat Intuition, ingrained into his body, made him instinctively turn his head, dodging the blow.
Then he saw Hidan's angry face behind the fist.
His eyes flickered for a moment, and he let down his guard.
Hidan seized this opportunity, leaping up and grabbing the bandages around Uchiha Ci's neck with both hands, slamming him hard against a nearby boulder.
Thump!
A dull thud echoed as his back hit the rock.
Hidan's eyes were red, and he angrily shouted, "Bastard, talk to me!"
"You—" Uchiha Ci was taken aback.
He hadn't expected that after telling Hidan to go home and be a shut-in, his little brother wouldn't listen and would instead catch up in less than an hour.
And he looked ready to beat up his older brother.
"What do you mean 'you'? I'm really annoyed!"
"You're really enough! Uchiha Ci!"
"Without me leading the way, do you even know where the Evil God Cult headquarters is?"
At Hidan's reminder, Uchiha Ci was dumbfounded.
He suddenly thought of a serious problem.
Right, Where was the Evil God Cult headquarters?
Uchiha Ci frowned, his body stiffened, and he lifted Hidan with one hand, putting him in his proper place as the younger brother. He then coldly rebuked him, "Stop messing around, Hidan!"
"Even without you, I could just capture an Evil God Cult member and torture them until I find out their headquarters' location."
With that, Uchiha Ci shook his head and spoke righteously, "However, it's good that you came."
"All you need to do is tell me the location of the Evil God Cult headquarters, and your mission will be complete."
"I'll reluctantly count you in on the credit for eradicating the Evil God Cult."
"This way, when you go back home, you can brag to the Hot Water Ninjas that you once fought alongside the world ruler, Lord Uchiha Ci."
"How about it, feel like you've hit the jackpot?"
Hidan looked at the righteous Uchiha Ci and couldn't help but blink, his eyes filled with shock, looking as if he'd seen a ghost.
Was there anyone in this world so shameless!
If you don't know, just say you don't know. You're trying to trick me like a child to get information?
Where did the image of the good older brother who enlightened him an hour ago go?
Give me back my moved feelings!
"You bastard!" Hidan gritted his teeth, fiercely pulling his hand away from Uchiha Ci, and snorted indignantly, turning his head and stubbornly saying, "I'm going with you!"
"Tsk." Uchiha Ci felt a headache coming on. "Kid, why don't you listen to advice?"
At this moment, he understood how Uchiha Setsuna felt when he didn't want him to take on missions.
There were sure to be mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, And this kid in front of him had no insurance, why was he rushing in recklessly?
Hidan shook his head, his face full of determination, and said, "I must go with you!"
"Uchiha Ci, I want to watch you, I absolutely must see with my own eyes,"
"Do you, or do you not, have the qualifications—"
"To become my Evil God!"
Hidan took a deep breath, his eyes resolute.
The light that Uchiha Ci had shattered seemed to blaze anew in his eyes!
"Isn't that what you said?"
"All I want is the Evil God I need!"
"Whether it's you or that guy from the Evil God Cult, it doesn't matter!"
"I want to end the chaos in the Land of Hot Water, drive out all the great nation ninjas from this land, and become the next 'Demigod' in the ninja world!"
"This is my Nindo!"
Hidan suddenly fell silent, looking at Uchiha Ci with sparkling eyes.
"Then, for starters, why don't we get rid of this tumor, the Evil God Cult!"
Uchiha Ci took a deep breath and looked at Hidan, falling silent for a moment. Although a tiny, insignificant feeling of being moved welled up in his heart at this time, reason told him that if Hidan went to the Evil God Cult's headquarters, history would likely repeat itself.
Perhaps even worse.
And just as he was about to refuse Hidan, a voice as pleasant as a silver bell suddenly rang out from behind him.
"Then come along, Hidan."
"I'll accept for him!"
Uchiha Ci froze abruptly and turned his head.
He saw—
A girl with clear, emerald green eyes stood with her arms crossed, her figure tall and slender.
She stood in the clear moonlight, her smiling lips curved like a flower blooming in spring.
Then, she slowly parted her cherry lips and spoke:
"Also, I'm going too."
