Dead Bone Pulse and a One-Tomoe Sharingan Inside the Treasure Chest

Dead Bone Pulse and a One-Tomoe Sharingan Inside the Treasure Chest

The only ones confronting the enemy head-on were Uchiha Jobu, Uchiha Madara, and Izuna Uchiha. The other Uchiha had yet to master ninjutsu and were responsible for preparing traps and ninja tool attacks.

With both hands raised, they completed their hand seals in just two seconds, ready to unleash ninjutsu at any moment.

The three exchanged a knowing glance, all understanding that it was time to attack. In an instant, they leaped out together. Two fire-based ninjutsu surged forward, and the blazing flames drew the Kaguya Clan's attention away, concealing the changes taking place on the ground.

Fire Release! Great Fireball Technique!

This was a basic Fire Release technique that every member of the Uchiha Clan had to learn. Not only was it quick to cast, with hand seals completed in just over a second at the limit, but it also possessed sufficient power and range.

Fire Release! Mythical Fire Flower Technique!

Uchiha Madara did not use the same Fire Release as Izuna Uchiha. Instead, he chose the more dispersed Mythical Fire Flower Technique, firing more than a dozen fireballs in rapid succession with even greater speed and range.

"Earth Release! Earth-Style: Earth Spear!"

Uchiha Jobu shouted. His childish voice was barely noticeable amid the cries of battle and slaughter, but the flames on the ground had drawn all the Kaguya Clan's attention away. No one noticed the changes beneath their feet until sharp stones rose from the earth like blades and spears, impaling the Kaguya Clan ninja. Only then did they realize there had been an Earth Release attack as well.

"That voice! It's Madara, Jobu, Izuna, and those brats! Why did they come back? Are they looking to die?!"

"An opportunity! This is our chance to turn the tables!"

"I never thought we'd need a few brats to save us. What a disgrace."

"Kill them! Kill every last Kaguya bastard! How could members of the Uchiha Clan possibly be defeated by mere Kaguya?!"

Uchiha Yashin and several other elite members of the Uchiha Clan burned with fighting spirit as fiercely as furnace flames. Their hands clenched blades and kunai so tightly that the veins on the backs of their hands bulged, their killing intent and battle lust soaring into the sky.

"Dead Bone Pulse! Dance of the Larch!"

Using only their fists to smash and their shoulders to ram forward, these Kaguya Clan ninja actually blasted apart the incoming flames.

These simple-minded ninja who relied on brute force had not considered that even if their bodies could truly extinguish the flames, the collision with ninjutsu would still injure them.

But even if they had known, judging by the Kaguya Clan ninja's fighting style, they would likely have chosen this most direct method anyway.

"Hahaha! They actually came back. Those Uchiha brats must want to die beneath our attacks."

"Killing children is what I'm best at. Move aside, I'll do it!"

"I alone can wipe out every last one of them!"

Of the several dozen Kaguya Clan ninja, roughly a third turned around to face the young Uchiha who had dared to return.

"Retreat! Don't let them catch you!"

Uchiha Madara immediately chose to fall back.

Uchiha Jobu and Izuna Uchiha split to the left and right, both leaping backward at the same time.

"The little Uchiha are trying to run! Charge after them! Smash them to pieces!"

Naturally, the Kaguya Clan ninja would not watch prey that was practically in their mouths escape. The moment they saw Uchiha Jobu and the others retreating, they all accelerated, trying to seize them.

The other Uchiha clansmen who had yet to master ninjutsu had been waiting for this moment.

"Pull!"

Suddenly, strands of transparent wire, harder to spot than hair and even thinner than a girl's strand of hair, were pulled up from the ground at shin and knee height. Sharper than freshly polished blades, they instantly severed the lower legs of more than a dozen Kaguya clansmen.

Screams rose one after another. Blood sprayed across the ground in an instant, staining it red, while severed lower legs of similar size fell to the earth. The scene became even more brutal and bloody.

At that moment, those who could skillfully use ninjutsu formed hand seals once again and stepped forward. As if by agreement, they all launched ninjutsu at the dozen or so Kaguya Clan ninja whose lower legs had been severed.

"Fire Release! Great Fireball Technique."

"Fire Release! Mythical Fire Flower Technique!"

"Earth Release! Earth-Style: Earth Spear!"

This was practically a one-sided slaughter. They had no intention of sparing the enemy. With a blaze sent sweeping forward, the foremost few were instantly burned by fierce flames, howling and screaming even more desperately from the pain.

Yet the true killing blow was the sharp, blade-tip-like rocks that rose from the ground. Their hardness rivaled ordinary steel, and their pointed ends were even sharper than typical blades. One strike was enough to impale a Kaguya Clan ninja to death.

Watching treasure chests burst out one after another from the corpses of the dead Kaguya Clan ninja, Uchiha Jobu felt utterly exhilarated. Several were even different from the rest; judging by their color and material, they looked like iron.

Uchiha Jobu recalled that the treasure chests he had opened before were all wooden. The items inside had been ninja tools or Explosive Tags, with the best rewards being ninjutsu skill fragments.

Based on the mechanics he had experienced in games, iron treasure chests were definitely better than wooden ones. The items inside had to be of a higher grade.

With a fierce tiger ahead and wolves behind, their advantage seemed to have vanished in an instant, leaving some of them uncertain whether to advance or retreat.

The Uchiha Clan did not care what the enemy was thinking. The advantage was now on the Uchiha side. All they had to do was press their victory and kill every remaining Kaguya Clan ninja.

Using Earth Release once again, Uchiha Jobu watched the Kaguya Clan ninja being killed by the sharp rocks while wondering whether he could obtain new ninjutsu.

"Notification: Obtained Kekkei Genkai—Dead Bone Pulse (Fragment x1)"

"Notification: Obtained Kekkei Genkai—Dead Bone Pulse (Fragment x1)"

"Notification: Obtained Chakra-Conducting Metal (x1)"

Uchiha Jobu pondered silently. He could actually obtain even Kekkei Genkai. Although they were fragment items and he needed to gather ten to obtain one complete Kekkei Genkai.

But did that not mean he could eventually gather every top-tier Kekkei Genkai in the Ninja World onto himself, embarking on a truly invincible path? His future enemies would no longer be mere ninja. Instead, he should set his sights on the clan in the stars—the Otsutsuki Clan.

Then, as the battle neared its end, Uchiha Jobu looked at his remaining chakra and estimated that he could barely cast one more ninjutsu. He used Earth-Style: Earth Spear again and truly managed to kill an elite Kaguya Clan ninja who had activated Dead Bone Pulse.

"A bronze-colored chest!"

That elite capable of activating the Dead Bone Pulse Kekkei Genkai had actually dropped a higher-quality chest. What it contained was truly something to look forward to.

Upon opening it, the item that burst out of the chest truly exceeded Uchiha Jobu's expectations. He had not expected to obtain a complete Kekkei Genkai.

"Notification: Obtained Kekkei Genkai—Sharingan (One-Tomoe)."
