On the scorched earth bordering the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth, smoke and blood filled the air, turning the sky an eerie dark purple. For over a month, the 30,000-strong Uchiha Clan army and the 150,000-strong ninja army of the Land of Earth faced off, the sounds of battle echoing through the valleys daily, and blood staining the winding streams crimson.
The Uchiha Clan, relying on their formidable individual combat skills, frequently launched surprise attacks in small teams deep into the Land of Earth, disrupting the enemy's rear. The Tsuchikage was no pushover either, occasionally leading his own raids. Both sides suffered casualties, resulting in a stalemate. Although the Uchiha Clan possessed formidable fighting power, they struggled to find a breakthrough against the Land of Earth's defensively adept ninja army.
That day, while on a reconnaissance mission, Tian Uguisu's squad encountered a Jūni- man scout patrol from the Land of Earth. Tian Uguisu, a slender but sharp-eyed girl, saw the enemy and, without a word, grabbed her spear and charged. Her movements were swift and agile, like an arrow released from a bow, the spear tip pointing directly at the enemy.
The ninjas of the Land of Earth couldn't help but smile dismissively when they saw a young girl charging towards them alone. However, their smiles quickly froze on their faces. Tian Uguisu's spear moved like a serpent emerging from its hole, striking out three times in the blink of an eye, each strike fatal. Two Chunin and one Jonin didn't even have time to react before the spear pierced their chests, and they fell to the ground dead.
This Tsubasa was custom-made for Tian Uguisu. It looked ordinary, but it contained hidden secrets. In Tian Uguisu's hands, it was as light as a feather, and she could swing it effortlessly; but once thrust out, it had the force of a thousand pounds, easily piercing through a ninja's armor. Tian Uguisu's spear technique was even more superb. It was the Tyrant Spear Art created by Tsubasa's second uncle. Every move Isshiki exuded domineering power and sharpness. When attacking, it was like an overwhelming wave, and when defending, it was like an impenetrable wall. In addition, the special armor she wore not only provided extremely strong defense, but also came with a variety of practical Ninjutsu. This made her, as Elite Chunin, no less powerful Elite Jonin.
The Uchiha team consisted of one Jonin and three Chunin, while the Land of Earth had one Elite Jonin, three Jonin, and eight Chunin. However, the Uchiha Clan was known for its ability to fight three against one, and they showed no fear, quickly forming their battle formation and engaging the enemy in fierce combat.
Seeing this, the ninjas of the Land of Earth unleashed their Earth Release Ninjutsu, and in an instant, boulders and earthen walls rained down on Tian Uguisu from all directions. Tian Uguisu, however, remained completely calm, her spear wielding itself with impenetrable skill, deflecting all the attacks with a few swift, precise movements. Mars flew as the rocks collided with the spear, producing a crisp, resounding impact.
However, unexpected events are inevitable in battle. One of Tian Uguisu's teammates inadvertently revealed a weakness, which was Jonin upon by a Jonin from the Land of Earth, who launched a surprise attack. Seeing her teammate fall to the ground injured, Tian Uguisu's eyes instantly blazed with intense light, and the Two-Tomoe Sharingan slowly appeared in her originally black eyes. With the awakening of the Sharingan, her strength instantly rose to the Jonin level.
A ruthless glint flashed in Tian Uguisu's eyes. Her spear, like a dragon emerging from the sea, thrust fiercely towards the surrounding earth ninja. Her movements were agile, weaving freely through the enemy ranks. Wherever her spear passed, screams of agony followed. "Dominating Spear - Cloud Breaker!" Tian Uguisu roared, sweeping her spear horizontally, instantly cutting down six earth ninja. The remaining earth ninja, seeing this, turned pale with fright and fled.
Tian Uguisu was unwilling to let them go and gave chase with the Jonin Uchiha from her squad. But they hadn't gone far when they encountered reinforcements from a group of Earth Ninja. Facing a large number of enemies, Tian Uguisu, who had just been promoted to Jonin, was somewhat afraid, but her ruthlessness was also ignited. She gritted her teeth, shouted, "Kill!" and charged forward again with her spear.
Her spear moved like a dragon, sweeping across all directions! Tian Uguisu's spear seemed to come alive, thrusting left and right, parrying upwards and slashing downwards, each move deadly. Her spear technique grew increasingly fierce, each strike carrying an unstoppable momentum, felling the approaching earth ninja one by one. Blood splattered on her face and body, but she was oblivious, her eyes fixed only on the enemy.
However, even the strongest fists can't fight against overwhelming odds. In the fierce battle with several Earth Jonin Tian Uguisu's Jonin captain gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. The enemy's attacks came like a tidal wave, and although the captain fought hard, she was eventually killed by a combined attack. When she saw her captain fall, Tian Uguisu felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if something had exploded inside her.
Her eyes throbbed with pain once more, her Sharingan spun wildly, and the Three-Tomoe Sharingan materialized! With the awakening of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Tian Uguisu's strength soared to the level of Elite Jonin. In her eyes, the movements of the surrounding Earth Ninjas became like slow motion, and every flaw was clearly visible.
"You will all die!" Tian Uguisu's voice was icy and filled with killing intent. Her spear was like the scythe of Death God, mercilessly reaping the lives of the Tunin. Every thrust of her spear went straight for vital points. Before her, the Tunin were like lambs to the slaughter, utterly powerless to fight back.
Just as Tian Uguisu was engrossed in her battle, an Elite Jonin from the Land of Earth quietly circled behind her, preparing to deliver a fatal blow. At the critical moment, a black figure flashed past like a ghost. Madara Uchiha, the legendary figure of the Uchiha Clan, appeared behind Tian Uguisu in time. His eyes were cold, Kunai in his hand precisely blocked the Elite Jonin's attack.
"A mere trick!" Madara sneered, and with a casual wave of his hand, his powerful chakra instantly sent the Elite Jonin Chakra flying. The Elite Jonin crashed heavily to the ground, spitting blood, and was no longer able to resist.
Madara Uchiha glanced at Tian Uguisu, who was covered in blood but still full of fighting spirit, and nodded slightly. In the past month, he had first killed Raikage A, then went to the waters of the Land of Land of Whirlpools to kill Mizukage Minazuki Teru, and just now killed Tsuchikage Ishikawa in the Land of Earth's military camp. On his way to the Land of Wind's military camp, he happened to witness Tian Uguisu's spectacular performance. This young girl's fighting talent and ruthlessness reminded him of his own youth.
Madara carried the unconscious Tian Uguisu back to his lair. When the little girl groggily opened her eyes and saw Madara Uchiha sitting beside her, her eyes widened immediately, and she shouted at the top of her lungs, " Master Madara! It really is you!"
As for Tian Uguisu, she had been listening to her father tell legendary stories about Master Madara since she was a child, and she was completely captivated by them. In her mind, Master Madara was the pinnacle of the Uchiha Clan, ridiculously strong. She dreamed of meeting her idol, and who would have thought that her dream would actually come true!
Madara Uchiha felt a surge of envy under Tian Uguisu's adoring gaze. Suddenly remembering that Hashirama had already taken on disciples, he couldn't fall behind. He immediately slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Girl, you seem to have some talent. Would you like to be my disciple?"
Overwhelmed with emotion, Tian Uguisu knelt down with a thud, kowtowed three times, and cried out at the top of her lungs, "Master! From this day forward, I, Tian Uguisu, am your disciple!"
Madara Uchiha as he sized her up. "Aren't you surnamed Uchiha? Shouldn't you be called Uchiha Uguisu?"
Tian Uguisu chuckled, "I'm married!"
Madara Uchiha was shocked. "Married at such a young age? What kind of atmosphere is this in Konoha now!"
Tian Uguisu shrugged and sighed, "It's all because I have a father who wants a marriage alliance, a mother who can't control anything, and I'm just hopelessly in love!"
Madara looked regretful. "If I had known it would turn out like this... is it too late for me to back out?"
Tian Uguisu quickly waved her hand. "That won't do! I've already kowtowed, there's no reason to go back on my word!"
Ban snorted coldly, "Who is your husband? Tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson for you!"
Tian Uguisu hurriedly stopped them. "No! No one is allowed to touch my husband! If you hurt him, my sisters will be furious with you!"
Ban was completely bewildered. "What's going on? Your husband's accident has nothing to do with your sister?"
Tian Uguisu declared confidently, "Because my husband is also their husband! He's going to marry seven wives!"
Ban was so angry he jumped up and down. "What nonsense! Daring to marry seven wives? I'll kill him! Tell me, what's his name?"
Tian Uguisu shook her head. "I won't tell you!"
Madara Uchiha suddenly remembered something. "Your name is Tian Uguisu, and your husband's surname is Tian? I did meet a kid with the surname Tian a while ago, named Tsubasa. What's his relationship with your husband?"
Tian Uguisu's eyes lit up instantly. "That's my husband! Where did you meet him? I haven't seen him for half a year!"
Madara Uchiha somber. "He's dead. He attempted to assassinate the Raikage at the Land of Lightning's military camp, but was surrounded by a group of ninja and couldn't hold out."
Tian Uguisu's eyes immediately reddened, her Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun wildly, about to evolve into a new pattern, but she couldn't catch her breath, the pattern disappeared, and she fainted.
Madara Uchiha crouched down and took a look, then sighed, "So close, what a pity. But this talent is truly remarkable. With proper training, he might be able to go toe-to-toe with Hashirama's student!"
