Four Swords Unleashed, Slaughtering Thousands of Troops; the Blue Beast Attacks to Avenge Kakashi

The attack unleashed by Tessaiga descended like a ferocious beast, pouring down with thunderous force.

Its power was immense and terrifying. The earthen walls standing before Konoha's ninja army were instantly smashed to pieces, as though they had been made of paper.

The ninjas hiding behind those earthen walls had no time to react. In an instant, like fireworks set ablaze, they were swallowed up, reduced to dust, and vanished without a trace.

Wherever the hurricane swept through, it destroyed everything in its path.

Neither solid rock nor towering trees could withstand its might.

It was like an indestructible blade, effortlessly tearing apart every obstacle.

As the aftershock gradually faded, the surviving Konoha ninjas outside the attack's range discovered in horror that

a scorching ravine dozens of meters wide had been left on the ground, as if it had been burned through, billowing with thick smoke.

"What a terrifying attack! Is this guy even human?" someone cried in fear.

"Keep attacking! He definitely can't use a move like that continuously."

"Kill him! Avenge our fallen comrades!"

That strike had vaporized several hundred ninjas who had failed to evade in time, but among an army of over ten thousand, a few hundred were merely a drop in the bucket.

Uchiha Shadian looked at the scorching trail left by Wind Scar on the ground with satisfaction. This strike was several times stronger than the one Sesshomaru had unleashed. As for that mutt Inuyasha's Wind Scar, it was not worth mentioning at all. That mutt was only fit to carve three little streams into the ground.

"They're still charging?"

"Looks like they've felt pain. They can't wait to kill me and avenge their dead."

"Good." Uchiha Shadian formed hand seals and used Shadow Clone Jutsu, summoning four Shadow Clones.

The moment the four Shadow Clones appeared, they immediately drew the three swords from Uchiha Shadian's waist in turn and took the Tessaiga from his hand.

Uchiha Shadian's Sharingan trembled slightly, and the controlled Nine-Tails immediately reacted.

Crimson chakra surged from the Nine-Tails' body and attached itself to Uchiha Shadian's four Shadow Clones.

"Go. Leave none of them alive." Uchiha Shadian's original body waved his hand. At once, the four Shadow Clones turned into streaks of light and charged downward in four different directions.

"You think four Shadow Clones can take on over ten thousand of us? Who are you looking down on?"

"Kill him! Avenge the villagers!"

The Konoha ninjas had been thoroughly brainwashed. Although they feared Uchiha Shadian's power, they still charged at him with reckless cries, utterly disregarding their lives.

"I never thought the Nine-Tails could be used like this." Izuna Uchiha watched the Nine-Tails Chakra Cloaks draped over Uchiha Shadian's Shadow Clones and could not help sighing. Why had he never thought of borrowing the Nine-Tails' chakra? That would greatly improve his endurance.

"Senior Izuna, you're better?" Uchiha Shadian asked, turning back toward Izuna Uchiha.

"Thanks to this little girl, my wound has stopped bleeding." Izuna Uchiha rose to his feet.

Uchiha Shadian said, "Actually, with injuries like yours, Senior Izuna, absorbing Nine-Tails Chakra into your body can automatically heal you."

"Nine-Tails Chakra has an effect like that?" Izuna Uchiha asked in surprise.

Uchiha Shadian nodded, then drew out a stream of Nine-Tails Chakra from the Nine-Tails and sent it into Izuna Uchiha's body.

In an instant, Izuna Uchiha felt fresh flesh rapidly growing over his wound under the effects of the Nine-Tails Chakra, slowly healing it.

"What a fast effect." Izuna Uchiha marveled.

"It's even more useful than my Mystical Palm Technique," Rin Nohara muttered. She felt somewhat like a burden, an unnecessary presence. Compared to Uchiha Shadian and Izuna Uchiha, she was simply far too weak.

Below, Uchiha Shadian's Shadow Clones fearlessly charged into the crowd.

At once, screams rang out without end.

"Azure Dragon Break."

"Wind Scar."

"Meido Zangetsuha."

"Hell Dragon Break!"

The cold voices were like those of the Death God, harvesting lives.

"Don't bunch up. Spread out!"

"Don't be afraid, everyone. They're just Shadow Clones and don't have much chakra. They can't use moves like that many times. Focus on evading, and be ready to use the Substitution Technique at all times. Use Shadow Clone Jutsu as much as possible to lure them in and exhaust their chakra."

Several squad captains began devising battle plans based on Uchiha Shadian's abilities.

"Watch the sword in his hand. His abilities should be related to those swords."

From the rear, Shikaku Nara used equipment to amplify the Yamanaka Clan's secret technique as he directed the battle.

"Don't get drawn into prolonged battles with his Shadow Clones. Send one hundred people each to hold back the four Shadow Clones. There's no need to confront them head-on. Just stall them."

"The rest of you, attack Uchiha Shadian's original body, Izuna Uchiha, and the Nine-Tails with everything you have. The woman on the Nine-Tails should be a medical ninja. She probably isn't strong. Find an opportunity to capture her first."

"Watch out for Uchiha Shadian and Izuna Uchiha's Sharingan. Don't stare directly into their eyes, or you may fall under their genjutsu."

"At the same time, use Earth Release and Water Release beneath the Nine-Tails' feet. Turn the ground under it into a swamp, trap it, and restrict its movements."

"Those proficient in taijutsu, get into close combat with Uchiha Shadian whenever possible. Don't give him the chance to unleash those terrifyingly powerful attacks."

Relying on his sharp mind, Shikaku Nara arranged tactics one by one.

"Izuna Uchiha, get down here! Leaf's Blue Beast will kill you to avenge Kakashi!" A green figure rushed toward the Nine-Tails at extreme speed.

"A guy who's green all over?"

"Isn't that a little too green?"

Izuna Uchiha watched the figure speeding toward them with interest.

"It's Might Guy. He's charging so fast; looks like he can't wait to avenge Kakashi." Uchiha Shadian watched Might Guy race over with an indifferent expression and murmured, "I just wonder whether you've opened the eighth gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Death."

After all, once the Gate of Death opened, that move, that kick, had nearly kicked Six Paths Madara to death and almost changed the entire course of the battle.

Ultimate speed, ultimate air-pressure impact—the man who had cultivated taijutsu to its pinnacle.

"This guy feels different from the other ninjas. He gives off a very powerful aura." Izuna Uchiha was an expert swordsman and could also be considered a taijutsu expert. He could sense Might Guy's unusual qualities.

"Senior Izuna, he specifically called you out. Are you going?" Uchiha Shadian said with a smile. Might Guy might not be able to kick Six Paths Madara to death, but kicking a Mangekyo Izuna to death should not be a problem.

Izuna Uchiha's expression turned proud. "Hmph, an overconfident fool."

"What Leaf's Blue Beast? Before the power of the Uchiha Clan, he's nothing more than a slightly larger caterpillar."

"Watch me bring back his head."

Having been directly challenged, how could Izuna Uchiha endure it? He immediately used the Body Flicker Technique and charged straight toward Might Guy.

"Brother Shadian, how do you think the battle between Senior Izuna and Guy will turn out?" Rin Nohara asked.

"If Guy has already mastered that taijutsu, Senior Izuna will probably get kicked to death by him!"
