The instant Uchiha Yato let out that roar, his Sharingan suddenly underwent a startling change!
His originally red pupils became even deeper, and the tomoe within them began to spin rapidly.
At the same time, a layer of grayish-white skeletons emerged around his body, tightly wrapping around him and Sparkle to form an impregnable shield.
This grayish-white skeletal shield not only protected Uchiha Yato and Sparkle completely, but also resisted the damage inflicted by basic ninjutsu.
Whether it was the shockwaves of ninjutsu or any other form of attack, the moment it touched the shield, it was easily knocked away, unable to have any substantial effect on the two of them.
However, the end of the first wave of attacks was merely the beginning.
Immediately afterward, a fiercer second wave came surging in like a tidal wave.
This time, numerous ninja possessing secret techniques unleashed their clans' unique skills one after another, ruthlessly attacking Uchiha Yato and Sparkle.
The first to reach Uchiha Yato and Sparkle was a huge swarm of terrifying insects.
There were so many of them that they blotted out the sky, as though they intended to devour the two of them whole.
Faced with such a horrifying swarm, Uchiha Yato remained exceptionally calm.
Without changing expression, he swiftly began forming hand seals. His movements were practiced and fluid, clearly showing that he had long had a way to deal with such a situation.
As the final hand seal was completed, Uchiha Yato suddenly spewed a mass of blazing flames from his mouth.
Like a wildfire sweeping across the plains, the flames surged toward the insect swarm at an astonishing speed.
Everything in their path was instantly ignited. Whether it was the surrounding vegetation or the densely packed insects, all were reduced to ashes in the blink
