I Told You, You're My Woman

I Told You, You're My Woman. The morning mist had yet to disperse when Uchiha Sanpo led the God-Demon Battalion members speeding toward Kusagakure.

Uzumaki Huiyi followed behind him, her long red hair fluttering in the morning breeze, her heart filled with both nervousness and anticipation.

When the group reached a secluded valley, Uchiha Sanpo raised a hand, signaling everyone to stop.

"Rest here for a while and practice the God-Demon Transformation. I need to check your progress."

Uchiha Tekka, Uchiha Inabi, and Uchiha Yakumi grinned.

"Sanpo, we didn't slack off last night!"

Before their words had faded, their hands rapidly formed seals—

"Ram—Monkey—Boar... Tiger! God-Demon Transformation!"

In an instant, all three transformed into the Two Heads, Four Arms form.

Immediately afterward, the remaining thirty-one God-Demon Battalion members also unleashed the God-Demon Transformation. For a moment, the entire valley was filled with two-headed, four-armed Uchiha ninjas, an utterly shocking sight!

Uzumaki Huiyi's eyes widened, her crimson pupils brimming with astonishment.

Uzumaki Huiyi

—In just one day, they had all mastered this ninjutsu?!

The head on Uchiha Tekka's right side threw back its head and laughed. "Hahaha, Brother Sanpo, the God-Demon Transformation consumes very little chakra. And unlike the Shadow Clone Technique, it doesn't split off half our chakra, so we can practice it frequently."

Uchiha Sanpo nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Then try the combination jutsu."

Thirty-five two-headed, four-armed monsters formed seals at once. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique! ... Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Although the Wind-Fire Combination Jutsu they unleashed was far weaker than Uchiha Sanpo's.

When thirty-five people used it together, however, it instantly formed a wall of fire stretching a thousand meters! The temperature throughout the valley abruptly soared, the heatwaves warped the air, and even the surrounding rocks were scorched red.

Standing to the side, Uzumaki Huiyi felt the hot wind battering her face, and her heart shook with awe.

"This unit's strength is simply terrifying!"

Eleven jonin and twenty-four chunin—after all of them mastered the God-Demon Transformation, they possessed the equivalent combat power of eleven elite jonin and twenty-four ordinary jonin! Even one of the Five Great Ninja Villages would not dare provoke such a force lightly!

The unease in her heart finally settled.

At noon, when Uchiha Sanpo led the God-Demon Battalion to the outskirts of Kusagakure, the Kusagakure ninjas in the watchtowers immediately sounded the alarm.

"Enemy attack—! The Uchiha are attacking—!"

Urgent bells rang throughout the village. Within minutes, several hundred Kusagakure ninjas poured out from all directions, densely blocking the village entrance.

Kusagakure's leader, a gloomy-faced middle-aged man, asked coldly, "Uchiha, what business do you have in Kusagakure?"

Uchiha Sanpo did not waste words. "The Uzumaki Clan has become a subordinate clan of the Uchiha Clan. Hand over fifteen Uzumaki clansmen."

Kusagakure's leader narrowed his eyes. "The Uzumaki Clan belongs to Kusagakure. Why should we hand them over to you?"

Uchiha Tekka sneered. "Property? You keep people penned up like livestock, and you Kusagakure really are shameless."

Kusagakure's leader's expression darkened. "So you came here looking for trouble?"

Uchiha Sanpo said flatly, "One last chance. Hand them over, or... die."

Kusagakure's leader scoffed. "I heard long ago that the Uchiha are arrogant, but seeing it now, you're simply delusional! Kill them all! Let them know Kusagakure isn't so easy to bully!"

More than five hundred Kusagakure ninjas had already gathered around them. They formed seals together, their killing intent soaring into the sky!

Uchiha Sanpo gave the order. "Let them see the power of the Uchiha!"

The thirty-six God-Demon Battalion members spread out, forming seals simultaneously. "Ram—Monkey—Boar... Tiger! God-Demon Transformation!"

In an instant, the bodies of the thirty-six Uchiha ninjas changed drastically. Flesh writhed along the right sides of their necks as new heads burst forth! Two thick arms extended from beneath their armpits. With their Two Heads, Four Arms forms and blood-red Sharingan, they looked like Asura crawling out of Hell!

"Th-this... what kind of monsters are these?!" The Kusagakure ninjas' faces changed dramatically.

Uchiha Sanpo ordered coldly, "Combination jutsu, prepare!"

The thirty-six two-headed, four-armed Uchiha ninjas formed seals at the same time. All four hands moved together, completing the seals in an instant!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique... Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

The left heads spewed scorching flames while the right heads summoned violent gales. Wind and fire merged, turning into a sea of flames spanning over a thousand meters in radius as it crushed toward the Kusagakure ninjas!

"Boom—!!"

It was December, and the grass and trees were withered and yellow. Wherever the flames passed, vegetation was reduced to ash. The front ranks of Kusagakure ninjas did not even have time to scream before they were burned into charred corpses!

Kusagakure's leader screamed in terror, "Scatter! Scatter now!"

However, the God-Demon Battalion's assault had only just begun!

"Second wave!"

Another thirty-six combination jutsu erupted. The flames swept across the battlefield like a tsunami, and Kusagakure ninjas fell in waves, their wails filling the air!

"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"

"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"

Kusagakure's jonin desperately used defensive ninjutsu, but beneath the terrifying power of the Wind-Fire Combination Jutsu, earthen walls collapsed, water curtains evaporated, and their defenses were no sturdier than paper!

Kusagakure had only a little over a thousand ninjas. In less than a minute, more than ninety Kusagakure ninjas had died horribly. The rest had completely lost their will to fight and staggered backward in terror.

Kusagakure's leader's face turned deathly pale. He finally realized that he had made a fatal mistake.

This Uchiha force was simply not something they could contend against!

Kusagakure's leader gritted his teeth and roared, "Damn it! Retreat! We surrender! Stop fighting! We'll hand them over, stop fighting!"

Uchiha Sanpo raised his hand, and the God-Demon Battalion immediately ceased their attack, though they remained in combat stance, their intimidation overwhelming.

Before long, fifteen ragged Uzumaki clansmen were brought out, their eyes numb and despairing.

Uzumaki Huiyi rushed over at once, her voice choked with emotion. "Everyone... it's me, Huiyi! I came to save you!"

The Uzumaki clansmen froze. Then an older woman tremblingly reached out a hand. "Huiyi... is that really you?"

Uzumaki Huiyi nodded forcefully, tears sliding down her face. "It's me! We're free!"

Uchiha Sanpo cast a cold glance at Kusagakure's leader. "Remember today's lesson. Don't set your sights on the Uzumaki Clan again."

Kusagakure's leader lowered his head with gritted teeth, not daring to argue.

After leaving Kusagakure, Uchiha Sanpo had the God-Demon Battalion members take turns caring for the Uzumaki clansmen, ensuring that they safely reached the Land of Fire.

At first, the Uzumaki clansmen were deeply wary of the Uchiha ninjas, but after Huiyi explained things to them, they gradually lowered their guard.

The older Uzumaki woman—Uzumaki Chinatsu—walked up to Sanpo and bowed deeply. "Lord Sanpo... thank you for saving us."

Uchiha Sanpo glanced at her and said flatly, "No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Huiyi."

Uzumaki Chinatsu gave a bitter smile. "Even so, we will not forget your kindness."

Uchiha Sanpo said no more, merely instructing them, "After reaching the Land of Fire, follow the Uchiha Clan for the time being. We will provide protection and supplies."

The Uzumaki clansmen exchanged looks before finally nodding in agreement, because they had no other choice.

Uzumaki Huiyi walked over and softly said, "Lord Sanpo, thank you."

Uchiha Sanpo glanced sideways at her. "Huiyi, there's no need to be so polite. I told you, you're my woman..."

Warmth filled Uzumaki Huiyi's heart, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.
