"Take them back." Jinghuo Uchiha glanced over, then turned to look at the middle-aged man in a black cloak patterned with red clouds walking slowly toward him from the right—Kakuzu.
"Yes!"
The Uchiha Genbu moved with incredible speed.
They reached Kankuro in an instant, utterly overwhelming him.
"Damn it..." Sweat soaked Kankuro's hair. He looked utterly disheveled, but his gaze was savage as he prepared to make a desperate stand.
But then, a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan entered Kankuro's vision.
In an instant, he fell under a genjutsu.
Two Uchiha Genbu grabbed Baki, Temari, and Kankuro, then quickly departed.
Jinghuo Uchiha looked at the approaching Kakuzu and grinned. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
[Quest name: You Want My Head?] [Quest content: Kill Kakuzu!] [Quest reward: Secret Technique: Earth Grudge Fear + Re-Cell Attraction]
This was the quest he had seen as soon as he left the village.
Of the two rewards, he only found Re-Cell Attraction somewhat useful.
As for Earth Grudge Fear... he had no desire for immortality yet.
Because after the Fourth War ended, he would find this world empty and boring.
But that did not stop him from wanting to kill Kakuzu right now.
In an instant, orange flame erupted and covered Jinghuo Uchiha's entire body.
Within the surging orange flame, golden light emerged.
An Imperial Crown, Gilded Patterns, bracelets, and anklets condensed into existence.
In an instant, an aura of nobility accompanied by terrifying high temperature swept across the battlefield.
Jinghuo Uchiha stood there as the sand beneath his feet melted into a two-meter-wide pool of lava. It gleamed like gold, emphasizing his supreme nobility.
Golden light radiated from his eyes, sharp as though it could see through everything, stirring unease and terror.
