Uchiha vs. Yautja

Chapter 7: Uchiha vs. Yautja

Behind the wall.

Faint, intermittent roars echoed, only to be cut short abruptly; someone must have successfully hunted a Xenomorph!

At this moment, Fang Xiu, having rested briefly and with his chakra reserves still quite sufficient, had re-entered his Subterranean Navigation Technique mode, once again moving freely through the various levels of the pyramid trial grounds.

He looked every bit the hunter.

As he glided past a corner, he suddenly detected an anomaly, leading him to form a rough hypothesis in his mind.

Consequently, Fang Xiu leaped out from a wall and raised his eyes to look toward the area where the commotion had originated.

In his line of sight lay a Drone Xenomorph with its head severed.

The tomoe spun!

While carefully guarding his surroundings and focusing all his senses on any subtle abnormalities that might arise, Fang Xiu strode over to investigate.

It was common knowledge that the physical defense of a Xenomorph was incredibly formidable; ordinary high-caliber rifle bullets could not penetrate its carapace.

However, the severed head of this Xenomorph had a cross-section as smooth as a mirror, making it easy to imagine the scene of it being sliced in two just moments ago.

"As expected of Yautja technology."

With a sigh of admiration, Fang Xiu continued to explore along the tunnel, which had yet to reach its end.

After walking forward for about twenty meters and rounding two intersections, he saw another Xenomorph corpse.

But unlike the previous one, this body was torn to pieces, acidic blood spraying everywhere and corroding a large area in a fan shape.

It had clearly been killed by a high-energy weapon!

Throughout the entire trial ground, there were only three shoulder cannons in total, and at least two of them had been artificially modified into constant-power gun forms, currently under Fang Xiu's control...

Whoosh! A shuriken that had been hanging from his fingers whistled through the air.

A Facehugger hanging upside down from the ceiling, preparing to launch a sneak attack, was pinned dead on the spot.

Naturally, the standard-issue weapon from the Naruto World was quickly corroded by the acidic blood, losing its edge as well.

"Killed Facehugger x1, gained 25 reward points."

The watch updated.

However, Fang Xiu did not focus on that; he stared at the ventilation duct to the upper right, where a group of new Facehuggers was crawling out.

Whoosh!!

Without a moment's hesitation, the lead Facehugger lunged, its body even rotating 180 degrees in mid-air.

"Subterranean Navigation."

Clearly, Fang Xiu still had no desire for a direct confrontation. With his fingers flying and a whisper in his heart, the hard, massive rock blocks beneath his feet turned into a sea of sand in an instant.

The swarm lunged into empty air.

Before they could adjust their direction, Fang Xiu, moving like a shark cruising at high speed on the surface of the sea, jumped out the very next moment and performed hand seals in mid-air!

Snake-Ram-Monkey-Boar-Horse-Tiger.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique."

His chest heaved, and a fireball erupted from his mouth.

Expanding as it met the wind, the orange-red sphere rolled and grew into a scorching object two meters in diameter, causing the temperature of this narrow tunnel to rise along with it.

In fact, this technique had a large attack range and lethality, and its attack distance was sufficient.

Because it was a high-temperature flame concentrated in one spot, its power was several times greater than the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, which focused on the number of attacks! Furthermore, the power could be determined by the user's own ability, and the chakra consumption was not high.

In an instant, the Facehuggers, which had mindlessly gathered in one spot, were wiped out. The data on the Main God Watch updated—Killed Facehugger x10, gained 250 reward points.

"Chakra is a form of energy. Making such a huge commotion—not to mention the Xenomorphs, if any Yautja are still alive, they should be attracted here, right?"

Xenomorphs had exceptionally developed hearing.

Yautja always wore energy-detecting masks.

The vibration and high heat generated by the Great Fireball were no different from a torch in the darkness to them. Fang Xiu just wasn't sure if the first to arrive would be a Xenomorph or a Yautja, and if a Predalien were to be created...

"Hmm?" Before he could ponder further, Fang Xiu, who had maintained his Subterranean Navigation Technique to escape at any moment, suddenly felt a gust of sharp wind.

There was no need to use the Sharingan; even if the enemy remained in a state of optical camouflage, he could still judge the opponent's movements through subtle changes like wind direction.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Xiu bent down to dodge. Some invisible object grazed his long hair and pinned itself into the wall behind him, punching a hole straight through the thick rock.

Crackle, crackle, crackle!!

With sparks flying, Fang Xiu's hands were covered in blue light. While crouching to dodge, he completed the hand seals: "Lightning Style: Earth Flash."

Even without the aid of Water Style, simply touching the earth with his fingers allowed the powerful electric current to complete a hard crowd-control effect! As the electricity surged, a spear appeared—about two meters long, shaped like a javelin, with mysterious patterns carved into its main body; it was beautiful yet deadly.

Sync!

In the northeast corner, which had appeared empty, a two-and-a-half-meter-tall, highly oppressive monster suddenly materialized.

It happened to mirror the deity worshipped by ancient humans in the murals nearby—the two images were almost identical.

"Yautja... there are whisker-like markings on your mask, so, should I call you Cat-Face?"

As he spoke, he pressed his kunai against the area over the Yautja's heart. "We finally meet."

Kill him?

He might obtain a barely decent amount of reward points, but there was a high probability of missing out on any side quests.

After all, Cat-Face was not exactly an important character, and his combat power was quite mediocre.

Precisely because of this, Fang Xiu was actually leaning toward another option—sparing this guy's life to build a rapport, hoping to establish a connection with the Yautja clan.

One had to remember, in the Main God Space... technology was also a viable path!

Just as he was thinking this, the corridor began to rearrange itself randomly. Amidst the clicking sounds, another Yautja came into view and, without hesitation, charged toward Fang Xiu with long strides.

This scene terrified the rookie Reincarnator who had been randomly assigned to this area and appeared at the end of the corridor.

It was Scarface! There was a clan mark on his mask!

He had completed his first hunt and used the blood of a Xenomorph to sear that symbol into his skin!

The Sharingan spun. The moment the gifted warrior took two or three steps, he entered optical camouflage, making it impossible for the naked eye to see even a trace of his figure.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Next, under the watchful eyes of Cat-Face and the unlucky rookie, Fang Xiu swung his kunai, battling against thin air.

If not for the occasional sparks and the sound of metal clashing against metal, the latter would have thought he was witnessing a gymnastics master performing a routine.

However, having that impression was exactly right! This was the Sharingan.

It significantly enhances insight and dynamic vision, allows for the copying of taijutsu and ninjutsu, makes close-quarters combat as graceful as gymnastics, turns throwing techniques into flashy yet practical displays, greatly strengthens genjutsu, and improves one's appearance...

Once the Mangekyō is activated, two powerful, instantaneous ocular jutsus are awakened, even involving space-time.

One can even utilize the multi-stage Susanoo to strike in the form of a giant, boosting defensive capabilities and battlefield destructive power while in combat!
