Shikotsumyaku and a One-Tomoe Sharingan Inside the Treasure Chest

Shikotsumyaku and a One-Tomoe Sharingan Inside the Treasure Chest

6 Only Uchiha Jobu, Uchiha Madara, and Izuna Uchiha faced the enemy head-on. The other Uchiha were not yet proficient in 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 tacit glance, each understanding that it was time to attack. In an instant, they leaped out together. Two Fire Release techniques surged forward, and the blazing flames drew the Kaguya Clan's attention, concealing the changes occurring beneath the perfectly hidden 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 technique as Izuna Uchiha. Instead, he chose the more dispersed Mythical Fire Flower Technique, firing more than ten fireballs in succession with even greater speed and range.

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

Uchiha Jobu shouted. His childish voice was inconspicuous amid the sounds of slaughter and battle, but the flames on the ground had drawn all the Kaguya Clan's attention away. No one noticed the changes in the earth until sharp stones rose from the ground and pierced the Kaguya Clan shinobi like blades and spears. Only then did they realize that an Earth Release attack had been launched as well.

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

"An opportunity! This is our chance to strike back!"

"I never thought we'd have to rely on a few kids 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 like a raging furnace. Their hands clenched tightly around blades and kunai, veins bulging across the backs of their hands as battle intent mixed with killing intent and soared into the sky.

"Shikotsumyaku! Dance of the Larch!"

Using only their fists to smash and their shoulders to ram, the Kaguya Clan shinobi actually shattered the incoming flames.

These foolish shinobi who knew only brute force never considered that even if their bodies could truly extinguish the flames, the collision between flesh and ninjutsu would still injure them.

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

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

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

"I alone can wipe them all out!"

Of the dozens of Kaguya Clan shinobi, around a third turned around to face the young Uchiha generation that had dared to return.

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

Uchiha Madara decisively chose to fall back.

Uchiha Jobu and Izuna Uchiha split to either side, both leaping backward at the same time.

"The Uchiha little brats are trying to run! Speed up and rush them! Smash them to pieces!"

Naturally, the Kaguya Clan shinobi would not stand by and watch prey that was practically in their mouths escape. The moment they saw Uchiha Jobu and the others retreating, they all sped up, trying to catch them.

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

"Pull them up!"

Suddenly, strands of transparent wire, so thin they were harder to notice than a girl's hair, were pulled up from the ground at shin and knee height. Sharper than blades polished day after day, they instantly severed the lower legs of more than a dozen Kaguya clansmen.

Screams rose one after another as blood splattered across the ground, dyeing it red. Lower legs of roughly the same size fell to the ground one after another, making the scene even more brutal and bloody.

At that moment, those who could use ninjutsu proficiently formed hand seals again and stepped forward. Without any prior arrangement, they all unleashed ninjutsu upon the more than dozen Kaguya Clan shinobi 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. There was no intention of sparing the enemy. As soon as the flames swept over them, the ones at the front had their bodies burned by the blazing fire in an instant, causing them to howl and scream even more fiercely in pain.

But the true killing blow was the sharp, blade-tip-like rocks rising from the ground. Their hardness rivaled ordinary steel, and their pointed ends were even sharper than normal blade tips. One strike was enough to impale a Kaguya Clan shinobi to death.

Watching treasure chests burst out from the corpses of the dead Kaguya Clan shinobi one after another, Uchiha Jobu felt indescribably exhilarated. Several of them were even different from the rest; judging by their color and material, they appeared to be made of 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 being ninjutsu skill fragments.

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

With a fierce tiger before them and wolves behind them, they seemed to have lost their advantage for a moment, unsure whether to advance or retreat.

The Uchiha Clan did not care what the enemy was thinking. The advantage was now on the Uchiha side, and all they needed to do was press their victory and kill every remaining Kaguya Clan shinobi.

Using Earth Release ninjutsu once more, Uchiha Jobu watched the Kaguya Clan shinobi being killed by the sharp rocks. What he was thinking about was whether he could obtain a new ninjutsu.

"Notice: Obtained Kekkei Genkai—Shikotsumyaku (Fragment x1)"

"Notice: Obtained Kekkei Genkai—Shikotsumyaku (Fragment x1)"

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

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

But this meant that in the future, he could gather all the top Kekkei Genkai in the Ninja World into one body, embarking on a truly invincible path. His future enemies would no longer be mere shinobi; instead, he should set his sights on the clan among 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 use ninjutsu one more time. He used Earth-Style: Earth Spear again and truly managed to kill an elite Kaguya Clan shinobi who had activated Shikotsumyaku.

"A bronze chest!"

This elite who could activate the Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai had actually dropped a treasure chest of even higher quality. The items inside were truly something to look forward to.

When he opened it, what burst out of the chest truly exceeded Uchiha Jobu's expectations. He had never expected to obtain a complete Kekkei Genkai.

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