War of Clan Annihilation: The Kaguya Clan Destroyed

Chapter 11: War of Clan Annihilation: The Kaguya Clan Destroyed

The Land of Fire was powerful and prosperous, with countless ninja clans rooted here.

There were not only powerful clans like the Uchiha and Senju, each with over a thousand members and strong enough for one clan to hold down an entire nation, but also countless smaller clans too weak to survive without relying on larger ones.

The Kaguya Clan.

Even across the entire Ninja World, they were considered a fairly powerful ninja clan. However, because their Dead Bone Pulse bloodline limit was extremely difficult to awaken, fewer than three members in nearly every generation could awaken it. Thus, while the clan was strong, its strength was limited.

There were more than a dozen clans in the Land of Fire similar to the Kaguya Clan.

When these clans encountered Uchiha Clan ninjas, they were like mice meeting cats.

The Kaguya Clan had foolishly tried to take advantage of the Uchiha main force's absence to destroy the Uchiha compound and slaughter every Uchiha ninja left behind.

Now it was the Uchiha Clan's turn to take revenge.

Gazing at the brightly lit Kaguya compound not far ahead, he opened his only remaining Three-Tomoe Sharingan. In the darkness, the eye emitted a faint blood-red glow, like a rare crimson gem.

Hagoromo Jiehe said quietly, "Lord Tajima, our clan's ninjas have dealt with the patrols outside the Kaguya compound. We can attack now."

"Good! Move!"

With Uchiha Tajima's command, all Uchiha ninjas charged toward the Kaguya compound.

"Let these idiots who know nothing but fighting die beneath the gaze of the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan!"

The blazing flames burned with fury, swiftly swallowing the Kaguya Clan. The sudden war caught the Kaguya ninjas completely off guard. Before they could even identify their enemies in their panic, they were mercilessly cut down by Uchiha ninjas.

The Hagoromo Clan ninjas avoided the Kaguya Clan ninjas who had awakened the Dead Bone Pulse bloodline limit.

Uchiha Tajima swung his Gunbai and sent several approaching enemies flying, then kicked the Kaguya clan head in the left shoulder. He raised his head and said, "Dead Bone Pulse? Is it useful? Under the gaze of these eyes of mine, this so-called strongest close-combat bloodline limit is nothing more than a joke."

"If not for my bloodline disease, which has plagued me for years and kept me from my peak strength, I would never have been defeated so easily by you."

"There is no need to say such boring things. In the Ninja World, only the victor is king. A loser like you should obediently die."

Forming hand seals, he transformed his chakra into flames. His expression turned slightly ferocious as he spat out a mass of fire, which deepened to a dark crimson in the wind and became a raging fire dragon that engulfed the Kaguya clan head.

In the eyes of Uchiha Clan ninjas, the Dead Bone Pulse truly held no great advantage. Their enhanced dynamic vision allowed them to easily see the movements behind Kaguya ninjas' attacks and instantly determine how to evade or counterattack.

Of course, the Kaguya Clan could not have many people capable of awakening a bloodline limit as difficult as the Dead Bone Pulse. Including the two who had previously led their clansmen in attacking the Uchiha compound and the Kaguya ninjas resisting in fury here, there were only enough to count on one hand.

Stepping on the charred corpse of the Kaguya clan head, he applied a little force and crushed the body to pieces.

"Kill them. A clan like this has no need to continue existing."

With Uchiha Tajima's final order, the ninjas—people who knew only slaughter and obedience—showed no mercy. The Uchiha ninjas simply continued killing according to their orders, until they had slain the last member of the Kaguya Clan.

There was only one Dead Bone Pulse user left alive.

At the same time, both Uchiha Hato and Uchiha Kuwajima set their sights on him.

"There's only this last one left. I'll handle him."

"Uncle Kuwajima, let me do it. These eyes of mine have never slain a Kaguya Clan Dead Bone Pulse user. I want to know what it feels like to kill one."

"I don't mind letting you have other things, but this is currently the only Dead Bone Pulse ninja in the Ninja World. I should deal with him personally, not hand him over to a youngster like you."

"Then there is no helping it. Let's attack together and see who can take him down."

Targeted by two enemies at once, the Kaguya ninja who had awakened the Dead Bone Pulse was furious, yet there was nothing he could do. Whether in strength, ability, or numbers, he was at a disadvantage in every way.

"Damn it! If this keeps up, I'll die. I'll definitely be killed. I've only just awakened the Dead Bone Pulse bloodline limit—I can't die here like this!"

"If I die too, then the clan will have no hope left. There won't even be the slightest possibility of a future."

"Live! Break out of here! Only by living can the Kaguya Clan avoid disappearing from the Ninja World! I am the Kaguya Clan's only hope. I absolutely cannot be killed here!"

In the face of death, it was not only the brave who could drive away the fear of it. As long as one had the resolve not to yield in one's heart, one could forget that fear in an instant.

"Now!"

The Kaguya ninja tried to break through the encirclement of the two enemies.

"Don't even think about it. Under the gaze of these eyes, none of your movements can escape me!"

But the moment he moved, lifting his foot to start running, he saw a bloodstained short blade flash red from his blind spot.

"Dead Bone Pulse: Tessenka Flower Dance!"

With unique combat footwork and his special Dead Bone Pulse bloodline limit, the Kaguya ninja believed he could evade this strike and perhaps even counterattack.

"When fighting an Uchiha, try not to look directly into the Sharingan. Don't you know that? You really never learn."

Older-generation ninjas like Uchiha Kuwajima preferred combining genjutsu with ninjutsu. Ninjas who used only swordsmanship or a single type of ninjutsu were looked down upon by the orthodox, old-fashioned Uchiha.

In the end, he still fell, dying beneath the Sharingan's genjutsu. Before his death, he even revealed a smile. No one knew what he had seen—perhaps the most beautiful fragments buried deep in his memories.

This war could be said to be ending, but then a Hagoromo ninja suddenly came before Hagoromo Jiehe. Hagoromo Jiehe's expression immediately turned extremely unpleasant, filled with uncertainty.

Uchiha Tajima said in a deep voice, "What is it? Did those Hyuga fellows come? It would not be strange. The Kaguya and Hyuga Clans have a good relationship. We attacked the Kaguya Clan, so the Hyuga Clan could not possibly stand by and watch."

Hagoromo Jiehe said with an ugly expression, "My apologies, Lord Tajima. The direction guarded by our Hagoromo Clan was breached by Hyuga Clan ninjas. They rescued the Kaguya ninjas we had not yet killed. Around twenty people were taken away by the Hyuga Clan."
