Chapter 312: Akaseki's First Display of Heroism
"W-what is that thing?"
"Don't be afraid! He's alone!"
"Surround him—"
"Attack together! That technique of his doesn't have a large range!"
"How stupid! He actually walked right into the enemy formation so carelessly. Does that even count as being a ninja?"
"Today, Konoha's Akaseki's head is ours!"
Water Style: Water Bullet Technique!
Earth Style: Earth Rising Spears!
Rainfall Thousand Needles!
Wild Rain Torrent!
Seeing Akaseki standing carelessly in place, the surrounding Rain Ninja immediately encircled him and launched attacks from every direction—
--
Water Style, Earth Style, thrown ninja tools—
And most importantly, the Combined Ninjutsu: Wild Rain Torrent, jointly unleashed by four Jonin of considerable renown in Amegakure!
For a moment, violent wind and rain raged around Akaseki. Ninjutsu attacks and physical attacks came at him one after another!
A month ago, faced with attacks from every direction, Akaseki could only have chosen to retreat—more precisely, he would never have put himself in the center like a target in the first place!
But things were different now—
Perhaps it was in the underlying code of the Uchiha Bloodline?
As long as they could activate Susanoo, whenever they faced an attack they thought it should be able to block, Uchiha would feel an urge to become a target.
And the more attacks there were, the stronger that urge became—
Especially for Akaseki, who could activate Susanoo with ordinary Dojutsu Power. This impulse came particularly easily to him!
After all, the other Uchiha who possessed Susanoo also had Mangekyō Sharingan to keep secret and Mangekyo Dojutsu Power to conserve, so they could restrain themselves somewhat. Akaseki, however, used it whenever he wanted. His impulse was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins.
Clang, clang, clang—
Boom—crack—
Facing countless attacks
