Battle Begins, Summoning Technique Scroll

Battle Begins, Summoning Technique Scroll

After several years, he felt the battlefield once more without the slightest discomfort. The Uchiha blood in his body still boiled like scorching magma, already impatient to rush out and fight to his heart's content, using the blood of Senju Clan ninja to honor the fallen Uchiha ancestors.

Uchiha Jobu was not the only one who felt this way. Nearly every member of the Uchiha Clan desperately longed for battle.

Especially when their target was the Senju Clan, the clan ninja with Uchiha blood flowing through their veins felt an even stronger urge to fight.

Looking at the more than four hundred Senju clansmen across from them, the Uchiha shouting for battle all activated their Sharingan in an instant. Their blood-red eyes gleamed with killing intent and fighting spirit.

"Clan Head, the Senju Clan has practically mobilized its entire force. As long as we win this battle, there will no longer be a Senju Clan in the Ninja World."

"More than four hundred Senju ninja, not counting those left behind to guard the clan—that really is nearly every ninja the Senju Clan has."

"Don't underestimate the Senju ninja. Those bastards have incredibly tough vitality. Even if there are only four hundred of them, wiping them all out will cost us a terrible price."

"What's there to fear? As long as we can annihilate the Senju ninja, the Land of Fire will belong to our Uchiha Clan."

The battle-hungry members of the Uchiha Clan all craved combat and feared death not at all. They only feared dying without killing enough enemies.

The more than four hundred Senju Clan ninja all carried long blades or kunai. They possessed no special Kekkei Genkai; they simply had exceptionally powerful vitality and vast reserves of chakra.

But besides the Senju Clan ninja, there were also roughly a hundred Uzumaki Clan ninja, along with more than eighty Sarutobi Clan ninja and over fifty Shimura Clan ninja.

Adding the ninja from ordinary ninja clans whose reputations and strength were lacking, the number of ninja standing with the Senju Clan totaled around seven hundred.

The Uchiha Clan had deployed nearly five hundred ninja, practically emptying the clan of all its forces.

The Hagoromo Clan had more than a hundred ninja, roughly the same number as the Uzumaki Clan.

The Fuma Clan ninja, newly joined to the Uchiha Clan's side, had barely managed to gather more than seventy ninja.

The Fuma Clan specialized in controlling ninja tools and possessed a formidable reputation in the Warring States Ninja World. Their mission success rate was not low, making them one of the more capable ninja clans in the Warring States Ninja World.

However, in terms of ninja numbers, the Uchiha side was still at a disadvantage.

But large-scale ninja battles did not rely solely on ninjutsu. They also depended on how many top-tier experts each side possessed. High-end combatants could sweep through enemies with ease when they acted, something a group of low-level ninja could never match.

"Madara!"

An unbelievably massive greatsword was actually Senju Hashirama's weapon of choice. He wanted to suppress his old friend Uchiha Madara with sheer weight and force, so he unleashed his full strength the moment they met, slamming the weapon heavily against Uchiha Madara's Gunbai as it blocked the attack.

"Hashirama!"

Sparks flew.

At the instant of contact, Uchiha Madara felt the force transmitted through the blade of the massive greatsword, and his expression nearly changed. What tremendous strength. As expected of the only opponent he truly valued, Hashirama was truly powerful.

"Hashirama! I've said it before—the hatred between the Uchiha and the Senju cannot be reconciled. No matter what you say, it's useless."

"It is precisely because everyone is immersed in a world filled with hatred that their eyes have been blinded and they cannot truly see the world. As long as we are willing to take the first step and resolve the hatred between our two clans, the Ninja World will surely welcome true peace because of our actions."

"How long are you going to remain this naive?! I already told you, stop daydreaming. Everything you say is unrealistic. The real world is cruel. Death, slaughter, hatred, and betrayal are this world's true face!"

"That is why we must take the first step. As long as we are willing to trust each other and try to understand one another, we can truly resolve all hatred. Why are you unwilling to believe me!?"

Uchiha Jobu could not help snorting with laughter, inwardly despising Senju Hashirama. Hashirama's thoughts were far too idealistic. Mutual understanding, genuinely trusting one another—he was completely dreaming.

The true Warring States Ninja World was an incomparably cruel place. If you wanted to live, you either killed others, or others killed you.

There was no other way.

If Senju Hashirama's original surname had not supposedly been Otsutsuki, the Shinobi Village Era from the Naruto storyline probably could never have arrived. No matter how one looked at it, the arrival of the Shinobi Village Era was utterly ridiculous.

You expected a group of enemies who had fought for hundreds of years to reconcile just because of a few words from you? What the hell was that supposed to be? A fairy tale? Playing house?

Uchiha Jobu transformed into a white-boned demon, clad in grim bone armor. With his Three-Tomoe Sharingan activated, he was unstoppable on the battlefield. No one could withstand the powerful Shikotsumyaku.

Under the gaze of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, every person on the battlefield was a walking treasure chest. All he needed to do was charge forward and swing his fists, and the bones on his arms, sharper than blades, would split open enemy skulls and make treasure chests burst out.

"Notification: Obtained Shuriken (X2)."

"Notification: Obtained Skill Fragment 'Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique' (X1)."

"Notification: Obtained (X1)"

"Wait?! Did I just find something good?"

Seeing the flashing notification, Uchiha Jobu suddenly seemed to have caught onto something. He hurriedly checked his treasure chest gains, and sure enough, an unusual item occupied one slot. Written on it were the words "Dragon Lair Summoning Beast Scroll."

There were said to be three great Summoning Beast Holy Lands in the Ninja World, and Ryūchi Cave was one of them—a place filled entirely with giant snakes. As long as one signed a summoning contract, one could summon snakes and pythons belonging to Ryūchi Cave.

There was even a chance to travel to the Holy Land of Ryūchi Cave, learn the incomparably powerful Sage Mode, and obtain strength that could rival or surpass Kage Level. Later, one could even use Senjutsu to injure Six Paths Level experts. It was practically heaven-defying.

Without a second thought, Uchiha Jobu immediately used the Summoning Beast Contract Scroll. Then he bit open his finger, and the instant his palm pressed against the ground, more than half the chakra in his body suddenly drained away.

"Ninja Art! Summoning Technique!"

Uchiha Jobu had no way of knowing in advance what kind of creature he would summon. But the amount of chakra in his body was no less than that of a Special Jonin. With more than half of his chakra expended, he could at least summon a fairly large giant snake.
