Dare Raid the Uzumaki Home? I'll Drain Your Life Dry in Reverse!

Konoha, the New Uzumaki Settlement.

The night rain was torrential, the raindrops pounding on the bluestone slabs and splashing up puffs of white mist.

Several blood-covered "Anbu" members, supporting each other, stumbled and pounded on the outer gate of the compound.

"Urgent report from the front! There are seriously wounded soldiers, requesting emergency medical support!" The leader of the Anbu was hoarse, a large gash in his chest armor, blood mingling with rainwater flowing down.

The gate opened a crack, and two guards on the periphery of the Uzumaki were about to step forward to help him up.

"Step back."

A cool, clear voice came from the shadows of the porch.

Shiro, dressed in a simple kimono and holding a paper umbrella, slowly walked out. She didn't look at the seriously wounded; her gaze was coldly fixed on the toes of the leader of the Anbu.

"Stepping on the damp-proof bricks of the Uzumaki's base, not a single drop of water splashed when I landed." Bai tilted his umbrella slightly to block the cold rain blowing in, his tone completely flat. "The boots of the Hidden Leaf Anbu have iron plates added to them. Gentlemen, your pretense of humanity is rather poor."

The pained expression on the leader of the "Anbu" instantly froze.

The next second, he suddenly raised his head, his face twisting and peeling away like a melting candle, revealing his pale and deformed body. His right arm instantly transformed into a sharp wooden longsword, stabbing straight towards Bai's heart!

"Move! The targets are that brat in the underground security array and the sealed vault!"

With a roar, the remaining "severely wounded" tore off their disguises and transformed into White Zetsu, rushing into the depths of the courtyard like mad dogs.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

White hand Hand Seals.

Click!

The water beneath their feet froze instantly, and several sharp ice spikes shot up along the ground, piercing the knees of the two White Zetsu charging at the front. The two screamed and fell to the ground, completely frozen into ice sculptures by the ensuing chill.

But the White Zetsu leader didn't care about his companion's life or death. Using the momentum, he slammed his hand hard against the barrier wall of the courtyard.

"Wood Release: Spore Technique!"

A muffled thud.

A large cloud of eerie white powder sprayed from his palm, instantly transforming into a visible white fungal carpet upon contact with rainwater. This fungal carpet, like living bloodsuckers, frantically devoured the Chakra circuits on the barrier wall, multiplying at an astonishing rate.

"Ice Release can't freeze this thing!" Bai Xiu frowned, and the Ice Senbon in her hand was swallowed up by the rapidly growing spores as soon as it was inserted into the fungal carpet.

In just a few seconds, the fungal carpet had already spread along the base of the wall, clinging tightly to the Leyline, and heading towards the underground passage in the inner courtyard.

That's where Menma hides.

Deep within the inner courtyard, a figure stood like an iron tower blocking the steel gate leading to the underground safety array.

Hyuga Hiashi's eyes were bulging with veins, and his Byakugan was being pushed to its limit.

"One and a half meters underground, high-density Chakra is approaching." Hiashi sneered, crossing his palms in front of his chest.

Since the abolition of the Caged Bird, the deep-seated problems within the Hyuga Clan have been completely eradicated, and the old clan patriarch's aura is now even more formidable than it was ten years ago.

"If you want to touch my grandson, you'd better ask Hyuga Clan Gentle Fist first!"

Hiashi stomped on the bluestone slab, shattering it, and his Chakra exploded.

"Eight Trigrams Palm - Rotation!"

The raging Chakra formed a massive hemispherical Absolute Defense, forcefully pulverizing the few strands of white spores emerging from the ground. However, the outer layer of fungal carpet was simply too vast; as if it were sentient, it bypassed the Hiashi's attack range and continued to seep into the cracks in the door.

"These monstrous things are draining my Chakra to grow stronger!" Hiashi gritted his teeth, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Just then, a rapid mental fluctuation suddenly rang out in mid-air.

It was an urgent communication from Hinata at the Allied Shinobi Forces front.

"Father! Sister Haku!" Hinata's voice was filled with anxiety, "Karin has something to say to you, I've connected her to my mental channel!"

"Listen! Don't Chakra!" Karin's signature irritable voice exploded in their minds. "That Obito used the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's active cells; the more you fight them, the faster they grow!"

"What do we do? They're about to gnaw through the outer wall of the sealed vault!" Bai replied quickly while using ice walls to block White Zetsu's charge route.

"Sever the backup circuit and switch the main formation's Gate of Life to the Gate of Death!" Karin spoke rapidly, clearly extremely busy on the other end. "On my command, break the third floor tile from the due east! Turn the sealing axis inside counterclockwise half a turn!"

Without any hesitation, Bai dodged the wooden sword of the White Zetsu leader and shattered the designated floor tile with a backhand strike. Sure enough, a metal shaft covered with runes was revealed inside.

She grabbed the axle and twisted it hard.

Boom!

The ground of the entire camp suddenly shook.

The defensive barrier, which had been emitting a pale blue light, instantly turned into an eerie dark red.

"Reverse Flow Array, activate!" Karin sneered on the other end. "Want to absorb Chakra? I'll let you absorb as much as you want today!"

The situation completely reversed in that instant.

The white fungal carpet, which had been multiplying wildly, suddenly convulsed violently, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The dark red barrier light transformed into countless invisible mouths, biting into the spores and frantically draining their life force.

"No! This is impossible!"

The leader of the White Zetsu stared wide-eyed in horror at the back of his hand. He had just been touched by a bit of the barrier's red light, and the flesh on his arm was visibly shriveling up.

"How could Hidden Leaf's Sealing Jutsu possibly absorb more energy than the Golem!"

In just three breaths.

The thick fungal carpet that covered the walls and floor completely decomposed into a grayish-white powder that scattered with a gust of wind.

Hiashi stood in front of the tunnel, exhaled a long breath, and put away its stance.

Foreign Languages Department.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining White Zetsu turned around and fled towards the gate.

"Come and go as you please? What do you take this place for?"

Bai tossed aside the paper umbrella in his hand, quickly clasped his hands together in front of his chest, forming an extremely intricate hand seal.

The surrounding temperature plummeted, and even the falling raindrops turned into ice blades in mid-air.

"Ice Release Secret Technique: Demonic Ice Mirrors!"

Click click click!

Dozens of enormous ice mirrors rose from the ground, instantly sealing off the entire courtyard. Pale moonlight pierced through the dark clouds, shining on the ice mirrors and reflecting countless cold, white figures.

The White Zetsu leader was trapped in the center of the formation, staring around in horror. He tried to forcefully shatter the ice mirror with his Wood Release technique, but his longsword was instantly frozen to pieces by the extremely domineering cold air the moment it touched the mirror's surface.

"Stop struggling."

Countless white figures spoke simultaneously within the ice mirror, their voices chillingly cold.

"My lord is risking his life on the front lines. If I can't even defend his home, what face do I have to stay by his side?"

Swish!

Dozens of Ice Senbon, carrying a deadly chill, shot out simultaneously from the mirrors on all sides.

There were no screams, no blood.

The White Zetsu leader and the remaining henchmen were instantly pinned to the ground like hedgehogs. Extremely cold Chakra seeped into their meridians through their wounds, completely locking down the cells in their bodies.

The battle ended cleanly and decisively.

The ice mirror dissipated into countless ice shards. Bai picked up the paper umbrella from the ground, shook off the ice crystals, and walked towards the frozen, stiff corpse of the leader.

She wanted to search the other person to see if they had any spatial Coordinates left by Obito.

Click.

The instant Bai's fingers touched the corpse's chest, the White Zetsu leader's already stiff face suddenly and strangely stretched into an exaggerated arc.

He wasn't really dead! Or rather, his original consciousness had been replaced by an even more evil being.

"Well done, you watchdog of the Uzumaki Clan."

A chilling, hoarse laugh emanated from the corpse's mouth. It wasn't the voice of White Zetsu!

Byakugan narrowed, and he instantly took three steps back, conjuring an ice blade in his hand once more.

The corpse's mouth suddenly opened to its maximum, its jaw even dislocated and pulled down, and a blood-stained black scroll was forcibly spat out from its dark throat.

The scroll automatically unfurled the moment it hit the ground.

There were no Explosive Tag or poison gas on it, but rather half a broken rune. The style of that rune was seven-tenths similar to Naruto's Flying Thunder God Mark, yet it exuded a strong aura of death.

"You think we're raiding a house?" the corpse slurred mockingly. "No, we're just delivering a package."

A frontline medical camp thousands of miles away.

Karin was wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, having just severed her mental connection with Hidden Leaf.

Suddenly, her body stiffened, her knees buckled, and she collapsed to her knees in the mud. She clutched her chest tightly, as if an invisible giant hand were gripping her heart.

"Karin! What's wrong?!" Shikamaru rushed over to support her.

Karin raised her head, her eyes filled with barely concealed fear, and pointed in the direction of Konoha.

"Coordinates... Hidden on that White Zetsu's corpse is a Reverse Summoning Coordinate! Something... Something extremely terrifying, following that Coordinates, bypassed all our defenses and descended directly into the heart of the Land of Fire!"

Before he could finish speaking...

In the pitch-black night sky, a meteorite trailing a ghastly green tail tore through the clouds and hurtled toward the East Valley Fortress, less than fifty kilometers from Hidden Leaf, at an incredibly terrifying speed.

It was a dark red coffin enveloped in an extremely large amount of Chakra.

On the coffin lid, a large "two" was clearly engraved.

The troops stationed at the East Valley Fortress were hundreds of wounded soldiers who had retreated from the front lines to rest and recuperate, as well as a batch of important strategic supplies that had just arrived.

"The Second Hokage..." Shikamaru stared at the strange phenomenon on the horizon, his face deathly pale, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

The real game-winning shot has only just begun.
