All-Out Slaughter, Nightfall Massacre
The Chinoike ninjas did not care about the lives of their clansmen. They only seemed regretful that they had failed to blow up their enemy.
Facing enemies as vicious as demons, even Uchiha Jobu briefly felt like retreating. It was not that he had no way to deal with such bombs.
It was simply that the thought of members of the same clan being turned into bombs by their own clansmen made such a dojutsu revolting from the depths of his heart.
"That scared the hell out of me!"
Shinteng Zoi was jolted awake by the explosion and, terrified, tried to rush out of the house.
"Lord Shinteng, please do not panic. Lord Jobu has already stopped the enemy. It is safe here now."
Ying hurriedly stopped her employer.
Shinteng Zoi asked in terror, "Enemy? What enemy?"
He clearly had never expected to be attacked on his way home. That was why the explosions had left Shinteng Zoi so terrified and flustered.
Ying frowned. "Ninjas from the Chinoike Clan."
"What?! Damn it, those bastards!"
"They actually want to kill me? Have they gone mad?! No, I'll have my brother execute every last one of them!"
Fear appeared on Shinteng Zoi's face. He had clearly thought of the Blood Dragon Eye's power to turn people into living bombs.
Protecting the employer was the mission. Since Uchiha Jobu had stopped the enemies ahead, Ying's task now was to hide with this fat nobleman.
Now that he knew enemies had truly come to kill him, Shinteng Zoi could no longer throw a tantrum. Nobles might be arrogant, but they were not fools who did not know the value of their lives. Faced with death, he obediently listened.
With no one getting in his way and only himself and the enemy remaining, Uchiha Jobu could finally display his full strength. Without hesitation, he activated the Dead Bone Pulse, clad himself in grim white bones, and charged straight in.
"Dead Bone Pulse! Willow Dance!"
"Come on! Chinoike scum, dance!"
The Uchiha bloodline within him burned wildly. His savage, arrogant posture made Uchiha Jobu resemble a demon as he rampaged without restraint, his steel-hard bones smashing viciously into an enemy's chest.
It was clear to see that, at the moment of impact, a large section of the enemy's chest caved in.
"What trash! You couldn't even dodge a brat's attack. You two, become bombs!"
The strongest Chinoike ninja narrowed his eyes, formed a simple hand seal, and controlled two clansmen, turning them into living bombs.
This eerie and terrifying dojutsu ability was far more useful than the two-tomoe Sharingan.
Especially on the battlefield, once the Chinoike Clan activated the Blood Dragon Eye, they could endlessly create living bombs. They were absolutely everyone's nightmare.
"This kind of attack cannot possibly work on me."
"Dead Bone Pulse! Ten-Finger Bullet!"
"Earth Release! Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"
When he discovered that the Ten-Finger Bullet could not effectively stop the enemy's advance, he decisively chose to use an Earth Release ninjutsu.
He had gathered all the basic five-element ninjutsu through treasure chests.
An earth dragon raised its head from the ground, glaring furiously ahead. It opened its mouth and fired clumps of earth with terrifying power.
Boom!
The living bomb exploded instantly!
The blast forced the dragon's head off course, causing the Earth Dragon Bullet to lose its aim.
"Hahaha! Brat, now you know how powerful we are, right? This is the power of the Chinoike Clan!"
Uchiha Jobu stared at the enemy, judging what attack he would use next.
There were still two enemies left alive.
One was likely at the level of a Special Jonin. As for the other, he had already been turned into a living bomb.
Before the Blood Dragon Eye's powerful ocular strength, even ninjas of the same clan could be controlled in an instant and turned into living bombs.
Another thunderous explosion rang out.
Shinteng Zoi was nearly frightened to tears. If Ying and the two ninjas had not been protecting him nearby, he might have wished he were dead.
Uchiha Jobu widened the distance and attacked with Ten-Finger Bullets. On one hand, he was draining the enemy's chakra; on the other, he was preventing the enemy from getting close.
The Chinoike Clan ninjas were utterly insane. If one got close enough and turned him into a living bomb—
That was exactly what Uchiha Jobu feared. He did not dare approach any further, afraid he would stumble at the last moment and capsize in the gutter.
"Brat! There's no use dodging around. You'll still die by my hand!"
Nearly all his clansmen were dead, leaving only one living bomb under his control, yet the Chinoike Special Jonin did not feel the slightest sorrow. Instead, he laughed bloodthirstily, convinced he was about to kill this Uchiha ninja.
Should I charge him head-on?
No, it's too dangerous. If he can really turn me into a living bomb, I'll be blown to death the instant I get close. I won't even have the chance to escape with the Substitution Technique.
This was truly troublesome.
The opponent was clearly not weak. Ninjutsu attacks were difficult to make effective, so he could only rely on the Dead Bone Pulse Kekkei Genkai. Otherwise, even basic five-element releases would not have a chance to hit him.
But if he charged in directly, the Dead Bone Pulse could unleash its greatest power, yet he would also become a target for the enemy's attacks.
The destructive force caused by those living bombs was practically equal to more than a dozen Explosive Tags detonating at once.
Tonight.
Was a night of slaughter.
And a night of harvest.
Looking at the treasure chests still floating above several corpses, unopened.
Uchiha Jobu decided to take a gamble. If he got lucky and obtained a new Kekkei Genkai or another ninjutsu, perhaps he would find an easier way to kill the enemy.
But after opening every chest, Uchiha Jobu was disappointed. They were all skill fragments; he did not get a complete skill.
Still, among those fragments, he managed to piece together the Shadow Clone Technique.
As he watched the enemy attempt to control the living bomb and charge over, an idea appeared in Uchiha Jobu's mind.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
He created several Shadow Clones, moving apart in a crisscrossing formation.
The Chinoike Special Jonin said in astonishment, "Clones? At a time like this, you're still using the Clone Technique? Brat, you're dead!"
The Clone Technique.
It used chakra to create clones that confused the enemy's vision. They had no offensive power and would instantly disappear upon being attacked or disrupted.
Boom!
Another explosion rang out.
The last living bomb was gone.
Of the several Shadow Clones Uchiha Jobu had created, only one remained.
The Chinoike Special Jonin laughed. "Brat! You're dead. Even if no one is left for me to turn into a bomb, with your current body, you cannot possibly be my match in taijutsu!"
"Unfortunately, the one who will die is you."
Under the night sky, when the clouds parted, a figure appeared out of thin air with eerie suddenness.
He had used Shadow Clones as a deception while the real body turned invisible with Rust Release. That was the method Uchiha Jobu had thought of, and it seemed quite effective now. At the very least, it had truly fooled the enemy.
It was also because the Shadow Clone Technique was not yet widely known in the Ninja World.
