"Why aren't you speaking? Who exactly are you in the Kurama Clan? How dare you betray Konoha! Aren't you afraid of Konoha's wrath and the annihilation of your Kurama Clan?" Vulture asked again, looking at the silent Aizen. His eyes were full of inquiry; he was increasingly suspicious of Aizen's identity and wanted to test Aizen with words.
He was just being too naive. Aizen had already seen through his suspicions, so how could he let him test him?
Then, Aizen raised his arm, and a sharp Ninja Blade materialized from thin air. A dazzling flash of light followed, Vulture felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, then collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
In the moment before his death, he confirmed his guess: the Aizen before him was indeed a member of the Kurama Clan.
Unfortunately, this information is unlikely to reach Konoha.
Looking at the Vulture with only a tiny wound all over its body, Aizen said with some regret, "I originally wanted to continue attracting Danzo, but now that he has discovered my identity, I can't let him live. However, it wasn't without its gains. This verification has made me more confident in my abilities. Manipulating the five senses, confusing the mind, and finally feeding back to the body—such abilities are truly far underestimated in the Shinobi World."
As the ninjas on Vulture's side died, Jörmungandr used Dark Release combined with his powerful Taijutsu to quickly eliminate all the Root ninjas who were attacking him.
He approached Aizen, looked at the haphazardly lying corpse on the ground, and asked Aizen, " Aizen- san, what should we do next? Do we need to help Setsugetsu?"
"No need. Let Setsugetsu handle things herself. We just need to observe quietly. We'll make our move when things are about right."
Meanwhile, the Uchiha ninjas surrounding Setsugetsu were unaware that in less than ten minutes, the Root ninjas had been completely wiped out.
They are still steadily and cautiously fighting against Setsugetsu.
Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique
With a loud shout, a massive, blazing fireball, radiating intense light and turning the faces of the surrounding Uchiha ninjas crimson, shot towards Setsugetsu.
And it wasn't just this powerful fireball; after it appeared, two more voices rang out.
Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu
In an instant, countless tiny fireballs formed a fire net in the air, blocking Setsugetsu's hiding place, while a huge fireball appeared on the open side of the fire net.
It can be said that Setsugetsu is now completely surrounded by attacks from all sides.
However, Setsugetsu was not flustered. Her eyes were indifferent. She simply raised her small hand, and countless snow-white ice spikes appeared around her. Then she gently waved her hand.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
These ice spikes were immediately driven by an invisible force, shooting swiftly towards the encircling net of fire.
In an instant, the cold ice spikes collided with the blazing fire net.
Surprisingly, the physical law that fire should overcome ice seemed to fail at this moment.
Countless ice spikes ignored the intense heat of the flames, piercing through the fire net composed of countless tiny fireballs. Even the giant fireball they had placed their hopes on was shattered by the ice spikes and continued its trajectory towards the surrounding Uchiha ninjas.
Upon seeing this, the Uchiha ninjas immediately took cover.
"Damn it, what's wrong with this Ice Release user? Why isn't the Fire Style working?" A Uchiha ninja looked at the Fire Style that had been shattered by the Ice Release and said with a headache. He never expected that their carefully prepared attack would be broken so easily.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. She's not someone you can easily defeat. And don't forget, she has even more powerful moves she hasn't used yet."
Hearing the complaints of his clansmen, Uchiha Ryuko, who was on high alert, spoke up to comfort them.
He knew that the enemy's current moves were just appetizers; their truly deadly abilities had not yet been revealed.
Upon hearing his captain's words, the Uchiha ninja who had just complained immediately recalled the intelligence report that the enemy possessed the ability to summon a giant ice goddess the size of a small mountain.
The elders of the clan praised it as being comparable to the ultimate power contained within the Mangekyō Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan — Susanoo.
If the enemy had used such a technique, they would have surrendered long ago.
This made the Uchiha ninjas even more worried.
However, their worries were completely unnecessary; Setsugetsu would never use such a move.
Aizen had stated that the main reason they remained in the Land of Fire was because of the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan.
Therefore, in order to ensure that she can successfully obtain the Sharingan, she will not use too much force.
However, the Uchiha Clan members were completely unaware of the reason behind this; they only knew that they had to do everything in their power to hold off Setsugetsu until Root's reinforcements arrived.
Therefore, after seeing that their Fire Style was easily broken by Setsugetsu, they did not stop, but launched an even more fierce attack.
In an instant, fire dragons, lightning, and occasionally kunai bound with Explosive Tag Setsugetsu Kunai.
However, Setsugetsu was not one to be trifled with. Although she couldn't kill all the Uchiha, she wouldn't let them off too easily. She immediately conjured countless snow-white spears and shot them towards the surrounding Uchiha.
This ice spear is far superior to the previous ice spikes; both its speed and power far surpass them.
And their numbers are so numerous that they cannot be counted.
As a result, the Uchiha ninjas were in dire straits. Even with their Sharingan featuring the Mitsudomoe, they were like a lone boat adrift in a raging storm under Setsugetsu's dense and swift attacks, Rotation.
You can only try your best to dodge, but how can you dodge one or two? How can you dodge countless ones?
Suddenly, several shrill screams rang out. Four Uchiha ninjas were caught off guard and were pierced through by ice spears, falling to the ground dead.
Upon witnessing this, the Uchiha who had survived Setsugetsu's attack cried out in grief and indignation, "Xuan, Choseki, Mento..."
"Damn you, members of the Light Organization! I'll kill you!" Fueled by the deaths of their clansmen, the Uchiha ninjas were now consumed by rage, completely disregarding the difference in strength, and charged towards Setsugetsu like madmen.
Faced with the Uchiha's recklessness, Setsugetsu showed no mercy, unleashing another powerful Ice Release that took the lives of three more Uchiha.
The successive deaths of clansmen further fueled the emotions of the remaining Uchiha, who prepared to continue their desperate fight against Setsugetsu.
Before they could even take two steps, they were stopped by the calm Uchiha Ryuko his hand.
"Calm down! Rushing in recklessly like this is just courting death. We've already lost half our people. Haven't you realized the difference in strength between us and the enemy?"
"The enemy's strength far surpasses ours, and listen carefully, there's been no movement from Root. There are only two possibilities: either they've already wiped out the enemy and are watching us die without supporting us, or they've been completely annihilated by the enemy."
"Either scenario means we are isolated and helpless. Therefore, our mission is no longer to eliminate the enemy, but to return alive to Konoha and report the situation to the village."
Uchiha Ryuko had just noticed the silence on the Root side and realized that something was likely wrong on the other side of the battlefield.
They knew the mission was doomed to fail; they had underestimated the enemy's strength.
Now that the Root has been destroyed, if they don't want all their people to be wiped out here, they must evacuate as soon as possible.
