Uchiha Kō's face was ashen. His hand shot out like lightning, seemingly casually waving, yet effortlessly neutralizing the fierce attack.
As the attack dissipated, the surrounding air seemed to be sucked away, instantly becoming heavy.
Uchiha Kō slowly lowered his hand, his movements somewhat sluggish, as if he were suppressing his inner rage.
His gaze was piercing, fixed intently on the Masked Man was tightly surrounded by nine wild beasts.
The Masked Man's figure appeared somewhat blurry amidst the surrounding wild beasts, but Uchiha Kō's eyes could easily pierce through this barrier, taking in every move the Masked Man made.
However, Uchiha Kō did not speak. He simply stood there quietly, emanating a chilling killing intent. This killing intent was so tangible that it made it hard to breathe.
Just then, the nine beasts suddenly released their protection of the Masked Man.
The Masked Man's body trembled violently, as if he had lost his support and was about to collapse.
Immediately afterwards, a crisp "crack" was heard, Masked Man's mask suddenly shattered, revealing his true face.
Tsunade's gaze fell on the Masked Man's face, and when she saw Masked Man features clearly, she couldn't help but show a hint of doubt. "Naruto?"
Uchiha Kō snorted coldly, shook his head, and said in an icy tone, "He is not Naruto, but Uzumaki Menma."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kō's words, Uzumaki Menma visibly taken aback, seemingly surprised by his words. However, a smile quickly appeared on his lips, and he said softly, "So you are the anomaly that the Heavenly Dao spoke of. Heh, I didn't expect you to know me so well."
Uchiha Kō looked at Uzumaki Menma, shook his head slightly and sighed, "A person with a perfect family should enjoy happiness and peace, but you insist on exploring the true meaning of ninjas and family affection. A person like you is really somewhat ungrateful."
The smile on Uzumaki Menma vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and tyrannical expression.
He glared at Uchiha Kō, a cold glint in his eyes, and said sternly, "What I do is none of your business!"
Don't think you're so great. In my eyes, you're nothing but an insignificant nobody!
Before he could finish speaking, Uzumaki Menma suddenly shouted, "Azure, White, Vermilion, Black, Up!"
At his shout, four of the Nine Masked Beasts responded and moved.
They quickly took off like four bolts of lightning, flying in four different directions to surround Tsunade and Uchiha Kō, blocking all their escape routes.
The next second, Qing launched the first attack without hesitation. A dazzling white bolt of lightning shot out from Qing's mouth and shot straight toward Uchiha Kō.
Faced with this sudden attack, Uchiha Kō's eyes flickered slightly. Instantly, a powerful aura of humanity surged from his body, forming an indestructible shield that firmly blocked the white lightning bolt.
However, this is not the end.
Uchiha Kō not only successfully withstood Ao's attack, but also cleverly converted the lightning's Chakra into his own power and retaliated in the same way.
Upon seeing this, Xuan was startled. He immediately flew to stand in front of Qing and swiftly unleashed a powerful defensive Senjutsu.
This Senjutsu acted like a transparent wall, completely engulfing Uchiha Kō's counterattack.
Although Xuan successfully blocked the attack, his body still trembled involuntarily.
After all, Qing's attack power was extremely strong, and even though Xuan's defense was very strong, the confrontation between the two was like a battle of contradictions, with no clear winner.
Seeing that their positions had changed, Uchiha Kō led Tsunade to retreat towards the rear, quickly escaping the encirclement.
Uchiha Kō placed Tsunade on the ground, then charged towards Haku with the Chixiao Sword in hand!
Bai roared and lashed out with its front paws, the sharp claws reflecting a bright light under the Gekko.
Uchiha Kō dodged to the side, then spun around and slashed back!
The Chixiao Sword severed its forepaws! Everyone thought Haku would retreat, but instead, Haku charged at Uchiha Kō like a mad tiger, opening its blood-red maw to bite off Uchiha Kō's neck.
As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Uchiha Kō turned around and stabbed from behind, the Chixiao Sword piercing through the white tiger's mouth and penetrating its brain!
Bai instantly lost consciousness and plummeted downwards. Its death did not deter the other three beasts; instead, it fueled their ferocity!
Zhu Tengfei leaped into the air, letting out a howl as scorching fire-attribute Chakra coalesced into fireballs that hurtled towards Uchiha Kō.
The scorching temperature displeased the Katsuyu Sage, so it summoned water from the Shikkotsu Forest to surround itself and block the heat.
Uchiha Kō clapped his hands together, shouting "Ice Release: Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals!" This was Haku's technique. He had seen Haku's hand Hand Seals through the Telescope Technique while his daughter was on a mission and had memorized them.
After mentally calculating the Chakra circulation route, he was able to clap his hands and summon whatever he called out!
In an instant, eight ice mirrors formed; four blocked, and four unleashed Ice Release: Thousand Needles of Death!
After the ice mirror blocked the fireball, it only melted one or two drops. Zhu's Chakra was far inferior to Uchiha Kō's in both quality and quantity!
Immediately afterwards, four more ice mirrors shot out ice needles at Zhu. Zhu tried to dodge, but the four ice mirrors blocked its blind spots. Despite its efforts to dodge the Thousand Needles of Death, countless ice needles still pierced its body.
Where is this? It's Shikkotsu Forest! Needless to say, the water elemental power here is incredibly abundant, isn't it?
Water vapor in the air quickly condensed into ice needles, varying in shape, size, and thickness, but all sharing an exceptionally sharp tip!
Seeing this, Zhu tried to escape, but Uchiha Kō's eyes changed, and his Golden Rinnegan appeared, sealing off the space!
Zhu crashed into the invisible wall, paused for two seconds, but in those two seconds, countless ice needles pierced through its body, ultimately meeting the same fate as Bai, falling to the ground.
Xuan's eyes were serious. Its speed was its weakness, and after protecting Qing, its Chakra was constantly being replenished! It simply couldn't protect Bai and Zhu in time.
However, they were not sad, even though Zhu and Bai were killed this time. As long as Uzumaki Menma is still around, everyone will be resurrected the next time the Nine Mask Svāhā is cast!
With a cold glint in his eyes, he looked at Uchiha Kō. Since long-range Ninjutsu was limitless, then let's fight hand-to-hand. He didn't believe that Uchiha Kō could be so physically powerful!
Ao charged forward, his dragon claw reaching for Uchiha Kō's throat. Uchiha Kō circulated his Chakra, activating his Sage Body, and a tremendous force suddenly surged into his right hand the instant Uchiha Kō charged.
Uchiha Kō raised his right hand to meet the attack, and bang! The sound of bones cracking rang out, and the force of the impact Yamato that the sound of bones cracking was also exceptionally clear!
Uchiha Kō glanced indifferently at Qing, and the next moment, Qing's dragon claw shattered, and he screamed in agony!
Uchiha Kō swung his arm and clicked his tongue twice. "So weak! One punch and he's done for! This Nine Mask Svāhā is nothing special!"
Qing Uchiha Kō he was not someone he could handle, so he prepared to retreat. Uchiha Kō would not give him that chance!
Intimidation! Max level!
Qing immediately felt a strong pressure. If it were in its prime, it would be fine, but now that it was injured, it could no longer maintain its flight under the pressure and crashed heavily to the ground. When it hit the ground, it stirred up a thousand waves!
Now that three of the nine faces of the Nine Mask Svāhā have been shattered, the one with the Uzumaki Menma is heartbroken. Summoning the Nine Mask Svāhā is extremely difficult!
Now a third of them are dead! How can he accept this?
Seeing Xuan alone in the sky, struggling to survive, he immediately wanted to join the battle, but Kong, Nan, Bei, San, and Yu stopped him and joined the fight.
They stood facing each other from north to south, charging towards Uchiha Kō. After a distance of 500 meters, they stopped and Hand Seals. The next moment, a purple cylinder suddenly formed, trapping him inside.
The two abilities are from the same source; one has the ability to bind, and when the two attack together, the purple pillar of light becomes very solid!
When Sora, also known as the Golden Snake, saw that Uchiha Kō was being controlled, his eyes lit up. He began to use his talent to absorb Uchiha Kō's Chakra, storing it in his own body, either feeding it back to Uzumaki Menma or transferring it to his comrades.
The third one, cloaked and resembling the Grim Death God, wielded a scythe and began swinging it in place, occasionally unleashing energy waves like blades towards Uchiha Kō to whittle him down.
Yu then produced a semi-transparent ribbon from somewhere, channeled her Chakra, and sent it onto the ribbon before thrusting it towards Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō sneered, his Golden Rinnegan shining brightly. "Shinra Tensei!"
Golden repulsive force was released from his body, shattering the two layers of purple cylinders!
With two cracking sounds, the cylinder shattered and lost its original color. Nan and Bei coughed up blood and retreated!
The three scythes' blade energy rushed towards Uchiha Kō but was also swallowed up by Shinra Tensei, while the jade ribbon was flicked away and went limp.
Kong had just absorbed a tiny bit of Chakra, and was instantly filled to an unbelievable level!
It immediately stopped absorbing and then transferred the Chakra in its body to its other six companions. The six companions immediately felt their Chakra replenished, and Kong was relieved!
It breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, it paused quickly. If it had paused slowly, it would probably have been the first Nine Masked Beasts to be burst open by Chakra! It would be so embarrassing to even mention it!
Uzumaki Menma contracted. He hadn't expected this anomaly to have such an ability, repelling six Nine Masked Beasts at the same time with just one move!
The six-faced beasts were filled with apprehension, and neither of them dared to make the first move. The same was true for the South and the North. Their binding formations had shattered with a single blow, and the two of them had suffered severe backlash, rendering them unable to use any moves for a short period of time.
Although they were immortal, they were now beginning to consider retreating.
After all, it would be foolish to go for it knowing you can't win!
