A purely defensive approach is not the way to Haruma.
He pressed his palms together, Chakra began to surge.
"Careful!"
Hiashi, who possesses the Byakugan, immediately shouted a warning.
A clear, cold sound emanated from within the ice crystals.
"Ice Shield Arcane Art: Thorn Blossoms!"
A faint ripple spread across the surface of the ice mirror.
Numerous tiny, needle-sized ice crystals densely packed together!
call out--
After a brief moment of gathering power, countless needle-like ice crystals shot out in all directions with even greater speed!
"Join!"
Sarutobi loudly!
He then swiftly Hand Seals: "Ninja Art: Three-Way Seal!"
The moment the mouth opened
One person plus two clones, a green, transparent barrier, shaped like a pyramid, enveloping the entire ice mirror!
Countless ice needles struck the barrier.
A clanging and clattering sound echoed throughout!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the rest of the group quickly rushed to reunite with Sarutobi.
Kakashi, who had already removed his mask, revealing a single Sharingan, hoisted the heavily injured Inoichi Yamanaka, who was suffering from the backlash, and Body Flicker Technique to move towards Sarutobi!
In just a few seconds, the green barrier was covered with spiderweb-like cracks!
" Earth Release · Earth Style Wall!"
With the ice mirror as the origin, a square, thick mud wall suddenly rises up!
Feeling it wasn't safe enough, Sarutobi took the Adamantine Staff from the Enma's hand and Hand Seals: " Adamantine Prison Wall!"
Katz,
With a crisp sound, the barrier that was initially set up was completely shattered by the ice needles!
A shower of ice crystals crashed against the earthen wall on the second level.
Like a torrential downpour, it pounded on the muddy ground!
The continuous explosions echoed in everyone's ears!
tread,
Haruma's figure passed through the ice mirror and stepped out.
Looking at the few people huddled among the piles of countless golden cudgels, Haruma's face showed a mocking expression.
A faint glow appeared in his hand, and he raised his arm, pointing it at the tortoise shell!
Although he wouldn't kill anyone, Haruma just couldn't stand the sight of that black stick Adamantine!
A streak of white light, amidst the countless ice needles, shot rapidly toward the group!
A sudden pang of fear gripped everyone's hearts!
The white light that pierced through the earthen wall first made their hearts race and their pupils shrink!
"Spread!!!"
His battle instincts kicked in, Sarutobi immediately shouted!
"Boom!"
At the same time, a point was created by using Dust Release Escape.
The ice needle smashed through the thick earthen wall!
Kakashi and several clan leaders immediately leaped out from behind the Adamantine Prison Wall, braving the falling ice crystals!
I'd rather be seriously wounded than face that sudden flash of light.
Sarutobi, who was at the very front, didn't have time to dodge from behind, so he could only turn his head sharply as fast as he could!
call out,
The group glanced at the massive club that had disappeared in the middle and the Hokage's obviously asymmetrical hairstyle, and their hearts trembled with fear!
Puff puff puff
The dull thud of the ice needle piercing flesh, and tiny spurts of blood shooting into the air.
A sharp pain shot through them, and they couldn't help but groan.
After the chill dissipated, all of them had sustained injuries of varying degrees.
Hyuga Hiashi, who used the Eight Trigrams: Rotation, was the least injured.
Dust Release, whose Sarutobi was grazed by Dust Release, and Kakashi, who avoided a fatal blow with his Sharingan, sustained minor injuries.
The remaining four were all severely injured and collapsed to the ground!
Inoichi Yamanaka, who was already suffering from the backlash, would likely have died from the ice needles if it weren't for Akimichi Chōza's Multi-Size Technique saving him.
Chōza's serious injury was precisely because he took all the damage for Inoichi.
The biting cold air slowly descended, and the Gekko drifted down with it.
On a clear Haruma, half of its body is illuminated by Gekko, half bright and half dark, like a god or a demon.
Sarutobi held the two broken black rods, his gaze sweeping over the heavily injured men, a hint of hesitation in his expression.
But as he looked at Haruma slowly approaching, the hesitation in Sarutobi's eyes quickly turned into a resolute determination as if he were facing death!
Uchiha Clan headquarters, Naka Shrine plaza.
Fugaku, wielding a short sword, faced dozens of Anbu ninjas alone.
"Chief Fugaku, why are none of your clansmen at the camp?"
Although their words were polite, the fact that each Anbu was armed and ready for battle filled the square with a tense atmosphere, as if swords were about to be drawn!
The original orders were simply to hide in front of the Uchiha Clan outpost, to guard against the Uchiha Clan or attempts to attack the village.
But after the loud noise came from the Hokage Building, a conspicuous giant tree directly took over the Hokage Building's location.
In addition, the defensive barrier near the Uchiha Clan stronghold caused a huge fluctuation.
There was clearly a large number of people entering and leaving, or there was a strong disturbance caused by vandalism!
This prompted the team leaders to exchange ideas and then voluntarily enter the camp.
After a search,
Not a single member of the Uchiha Clan clan was seen, and even the little gold and silver they possessed had been completely taken away.
The members of the Anbu rushed towards the location of the barrier's fluctuations, but were stopped by Fugaku suddenly appeared, just as they arrived at the shrine.
"Excuse me."
Fugaku stood alone in front of the shrine, his expression serious, and said in a deep voice, "This is the sacred site of the Uchiha Clan's lineage; you cannot enter or leave casually!"
"The clansmen are all inside paying respects to their ancestors; it's inconvenient for them to come out and receive guests."
It's just stalling for time; it's not like we necessarily have to fight.
Having learned a thing or two from Haruma, Fugaku has become a little more flexible about his bottom line in dealing with people.
The Anbu took a step forward. "Chief Fugaku, there's an anomaly in the village's barrier; it's located directly behind this area."
Since you can't explain it, let us go and check it out.
Fugaku frowned upon hearing this. "I don't know what the barrier issue is, but outsiders are not allowed to enter this place."
The Naka Shrine is indeed a key location for the Uchiha Clan; this is not a secret and all members of the Anbu know it.
The Lord Hokage's order was that after the Uchiha Clan rebelled, they should hold Fugaku back and wait for reinforcements.
Despite several unusual developments, Fugaku's attitude does not explicitly indicate any intention to rebel.
The leader of the Anbu frowned deeply beneath his mask, clearly troubled.
After all, the Hokage also said that no war should be initiated before the Uchiha Clan rebels!
Seeing the stalemate, Fugaku secretly rejoiced that Haruma had taken action first to eliminate Danzo.
In this situation, if Danzo were present, or if the original Root ninja were in charge...
They would have started fighting without saying a word long ago, and they could even make up a reason for the war after it's over.
Unlike the current Anbu, who are hesitant and timid like Sarutobi.
The interior of the shrine, a place of great importance to the family.
A large hole was violently broken open in the innermost wall, and a straight secret passage led directly to the edge of the barrier.
Shisui, who had already led all his people out of the village, fell to the back of the group, wary of any potential tracking Anbu.
Looking towards Konoha, Shisui still felt a little worried.
They were worried that Chief Fugaku would be captured by a group of Anbu!
There are concerns that the drastic changes in Konoha might lead to renewed conflicts with other countries!
Shisui is even more worried about Haruma...
He'll kill Sarutobi!
