Whoosh! Swish!
Dozens of Root ninjas nearby instantly sprang into action.
Countless sharp Kunai and Shuriken rained down on Xin like a storm.
More than a dozen Root members skilled in Taijutsu drew their Ninja Blade and completely blocked all of Xin's escape routes.
Faced with this overwhelming attack, Xin remained calm and composed.
He was faster than everyone else.
It was so fast that it exceeded the limits of what the human eye could perceive.
Xin's hands instantly transformed into a blurry afterimage, his Hand Seals at an outrageously fast speed.
Zi-Chou-Xu-Wu-Shen-Hai-Yin.
Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!
Xin took a deep breath, his chest bulging high.
The Tailed Beast Level Chakra brought by the fully upgraded Eight Gates Released Formation within his body surged wildly like a flood bursting its banks.
boom!
A terrifying burst of flames erupted from Xin's mouth.
This is no ordinary Fire Style.
It was a real sea of fire.
The crimson flames instantly expanded to tens of meters wide, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures capable of incinerating everything, and swept towards the Root ninja in front.
The air in the underground headquarters was instantly sucked out, producing a deafening explosion.
The dozen or so Root ninjas at the forefront didn't even have time to scream before they were instantly engulfed by the terrifying wave of fire.
Their bodies were instantly carbonized under the extreme heat, turning into a pile of charred ashes.
"How is this possible!"
"Quickly Water Release!"
The remaining Root ninjas were terrified and screamed in alarm.
They retreated frantically, their hands desperately forming Hand Seals.
" Water Release · Water Formation Wall!"
More than a dozen thick walls of water rose up in front of the sea of fire, attempting to block the devastating flames.
Water and fire collided with a deafening roar.
Sizzle!
A large amount of water vapor rose instantly, enveloping the entire underground space in a white mist.
The Water Release used by the Root members were completely ineffective in suppressing the raging fire.
The power of the Great Fire Annihilation was truly terrifying.
The fire wave broke through the barrier of the Water Formation Wall and continued to rage forward.
The underground headquarters was instantly engulfed in flames.
The hard, black stone walls were burning red-hot and even began to show signs of melting.
Several more Root members who were unable to dodge were killed instantly, burned alive by the fire.
Danzo stood on the high platform, his face so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.
He stared intently at Uchiha Xin, who stood proudly amidst the sea of flames.
He had only ever seen such terrifying Fire Style power emanating from that man back then.
Danzo sudden inspiration struck Danzo.
"I see."
Danzo spoke through gritted teeth.
"Those two good-for-nothings, Kawaguchi and Kunihito, died mysteriously, their bodies even burned to ashes."
Danzo pointed his cane at Xin.
"It was you, you little brat, who did this!"
Xin stood in the Kakkō and calmly admitted it.
"Yes, I killed him."
Xin's tone was flat.
"Not only them, you have to go down and keep them company today too."
Danzo, enraged, laughed instead.
He held nothing back and roared at his remaining men.
"Everyone, work together! Put out the fire immediately!"
The dozen or so surviving elite Root ninjas quickly gathered together.
They formed hand Hand Seals in perfect unison, their Chakra surging wildly within them.
" Water Release · Water Shockwave!"
More than a dozen people simultaneously unleashed high-level Water Release Ninjutsu.
A massive torrent of water, like a tsunami, appeared out of nowhere and crashed down on the raging sea of fire with tremendous force.
Rumble!
The water and flames clashed violently, and the entire underground headquarters trembled violently from the impact.
With the combined efforts of more than a dozen elite ninjas, the terrifying fire was finally extinguished completely.
The ground was covered with scalding water and charred remains.
The Root ninjas dared not stop.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen ninjas skilled in Lightning Release quickly dispersed and occupied various positions around Xin.
Their hands Hand Seals, and Lightning Release Chakra surged wildly through their bodies.
" Lightning Release: Four Pillars Binding Technique!"
" Lightning Release: Sixteen Pillars Binding Technique!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sixteen incredibly thick rock pillars burst forth from the ground in an instant, tightly surrounding Xin in the very center.
The pillars were carved with densely packed sealing runes.
Violent lightning crackled wildly between the sixteen pillars, instantly forming an impenetrable barrier of lightning.
Blinding blue arcs of electricity crackled across the surface of the barrier, producing a chilling sound.
Xin was completely trapped within the barrier.
Danzo looked at the trapped Xin and snorted disdainfully.
His eyes were full of mockery.
" Uchiha Xin, you're still just an inexperienced brat."
Danzo looked down from his high position at Xin within the barrier.
"You think you can run rampant at the Root with just brute force?"
"Faced with an absolute barrier and sheer numbers, you have absolutely no chance of winning."
The area within the lightning barrier was deathly silent.
After a brief silence.
Xin's angry roar suddenly echoed from within the barrier.
" Danzo, you old dog, don't you know that I hate it when people call me 'kid'?"
Uchiha Xin's furious roar resounded throughout the underground space.
The blue arcs of electricity that had been steadily moving across the surface of the sixteen Lightning Release barrier suddenly began to tremble violently.
A terrifying Chakra erupted wildly from within the barrier.
This Chakra was a deep, dark blue, like a materialized flame, carrying a devastating pressure.
Click! Click!
The seemingly indestructible Lightning Release barrier began to expand outwards.
The sixteen stone pillars, engraved with runes, were instantly covered with a dense network of cracks.
Boom!
A deafening roar.
The entire sixteen-pillar Lightning Release was violently shattered by this force, turning into countless fragments of rock and scattered lightning.
The violent shockwave sent more than a dozen Root ninja flying, crashing heavily into the black stone wall and spitting out blood.
The smoke and dust cleared.
A colossal, deep blue, half-skeletal giant suddenly appeared in the underground headquarters.
The giant's body was engulfed in tangible Chakra, and his hollow eye sockets radiated a chillingly fierce light.
This is only the initial form of Susanoo, yet it already fills this vast underground space to the brim.
Danzo in utter shock at the terrifying Chakra giant before him.
His only remaining eye was wide open.
"This... this is Susanoo!"
Danzo stared through gritted teeth at Uchiha Xin, who stood in the center of the giant's ribs, his voice trembling.
"You actually Awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Xin stood protected by Susanoo, looking down at Danzo.
He smiled, his tone laced with disdain.
"It's too late to realize this now."
Danzo suppressed his shock.
He knew that ordinary Ninjutsu Susanoo, and that his Root ninjas would only be throwing their lives away if they went up against it.
"Everyone, step back!"
Danzo shouted, deciding to take action himself.
He rapidly Hand Seals, took a deep breath, and his chest expanded dramatically.
" Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"
